It’s that time of year again! Time to grab your kilt, your caber and a pint of Smithwick’s and get y our Celt on at the 10th Annual Jamestown Regional Celtic Festival and Gathering of Clans on August 21 and 22 at Lakeside Park in Mayville, hosted by the 96th Highlanders Pipes and Drums.

There will be 25 clans at this year’s event. According to festival organizer Doug Clark, Celtic clans have been around for centuries.“Many clans go back to the early 1500s,” Clark said. “They began in the age of lords and nobles in the British Isles. Clan MacNeil goes back hundreds of years.”Clark’s own involvement with the 96th Highlanders goes back to more than 15 years ago. The festival began in 2005 based on an idea that occurred to Clark and former Jamestown Police Chief William MacLaughlin.“We were up in Amherst because we used to go to the festival there,” Clark said, “and we said ‘Why not in Jamestown?’”

The festival has grown steadily every year, according to Clark. He recalled 2007’s festival, when there were only four clans, two Celtic bands, six vendors and a beer tent. The Scottish Heavy Athletic Event was also held at Jamestown Community College that year as a demo event, he said. Clark had a $6,000 budget for the entire event which attracted 800 spectators in 2007.This year’s event is slated to welcome 25 clans, eight pipe bands, nine Celtic bands, 32 heavy athletes, and approximately 30 vendors. Clark now has a $40,000 budget and is expecting greater attendance at this year’s Celtic Festival. Clark recalled that numbers were down to around 4,000 last year

due to inclement weather, but he is, as always, optimistic about this year.“We had people from Alaska, California, Florida and all over the Midwest come last year,” he said. “It’s grown every year. We knew it could be big, but we didn’t know how big. And it’s still growing.”The fact that the 96th Highlanders host this popular event makes Celtic Festival unique in and of itself, Clark said.“We may be one of the only pipe bands who have our own festival,” Clark added. “We host it, we sponsor it and we raise money for it. It’s basically ours. Highlander magazine, which is distributed all over the world, put our ad on their back cover. It’s a really big event. We’re really proud of it. It really puts Chautauqua County on the map.”The Scottish Heavy Athletic competition is the most popular draw, Clark said. The events started with Scottish and Irish farmers using whatever they had on hand with which to stage a competition.This year’s Scottish Heavies will have five divisions: Men’s Open, Women’s, Masters, Senior Masters and Professional, according to Clark, who added that the

EDITOR’S MESSAGE

Editor’s Message

Who’s family?Scientists tell us that nobody on Planet Earth is more removed from anybody else than a 23rd cousin. Now that’s an extended family! Just imagine the family reunion party we could have. Somebody better be in the kitchen cooking.Wikipedia, the fountain of all human knowledge – sort of – says a family is any group of people affiliated by birth, marriage or nurture.What a shock that was for Archie Bunker and Sammy Davis Jr. in the “All in the Family” episode as iconic of the 1970s as Lucy stomping grapes or getting loopier and loopier on just one more spoonful of Vitameatavegamin.What’s going on in your family today? I mean your extended family. Everybody has a crazy Uncle Charlie or an eccentric Aunt Sadie someplace, apparently. Actor Cary Grant once said, “Insanity runs in my family. It practically gallops.”So why not visit some of your interesting, distant cousins this weekend? It’s those cousins where the men wear skirts, toss telephone poles as far as they can – just for fun – and play music on big, squawking bags of hot air.That’s right, it’s those kilt-clad, heavy-lifting, bagpipe players calling themselves Celts. They are people of the Celtic Nations, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Wales, Cornwall, and the Isle of Man.But best of all, 25 clans of those most interesting cousins will be camping beside Chautauqua Lake this weekend calling themselves the “10th Annual Jamestown Regional Celtic Festival and Gathering of Clans.” There will be marching bands

competing in traditional fife and drum style, great local bands playing everything from American music to old Scottish and Irish ballads, and traditional sports like nothing else ever played on U.S. grass – except at other Celtic Festivals and around the world wherever Celts can gather.And it’s all family friendly. The word for the day is Ceilidh, pronounced kay’-lee, and it means, roughly translated from any one of the Celtic languages, “Welcome to the family gathering, and it’s a most hearty welcome, too.”And wherever Celts gather, there may also be a wee drop or two of foaming brew on tap to fill a mug with cheer.The Jamestown Gazette invites one and all to the 10th Annual Jamestown Regional Celtic Festival and Gathering of Clans this week. Michael J. Fox once said, “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” Don’t miss a chance to enjoy, dance, sing and share good cheer with a few thousand of your newly met, closest cousins.An enjoy the read right here, too.

Walt PickutEditorThe Jamestown Gazette

PS: Dear Readers, please accept my personal thanks and the heartfelt gratitude of my family for your many kind words of care and condolence over the untimely and unexpected passing of my son, Rev. Matthew W. Pickut of Plymouth, Indiana last week. Barbara Bush once said, “To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.” The Gazette and our readers are family, too. WP.

Monarchs & Margaritas

Spirit Wing at Unitarian Church

Article Contributed byAudubon Nature Center

The Audubon Nature Center’s “Monarchs & Margaritas” was such a hit last year that it’s back for a repeat appearance.

From 5-7 p.m. on Friday, August 28, you are invited to support the Monarch butterflies as they prepare for their migration to Mexico. Each admission includes two margaritas, appetizers, a crowd-free/child-free experience with the live butterflies, and a chance to win some great prizes.

Audubon will be a flurry of activity preparing for the next day’s Monarch Butterfly Festival as the staff creates in indoor butterfly garden full

of beautiful flowers and Monarch butterflies. The Nature Center is once again opening up for an exclusive sneak peek Friday night.

Miley’s is providing the drinks and catering Mexican-themed appetizers with vegetarian options. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.

Monarchs need help. Throughout the last decade, their numbers have been decimated by habitat loss, deforestation, and drought. Through a fun game and the opportunity to view all stages of the Monarch life cycle up close, you will learn more about their plight and how you can help.

A hint for first-timers: Bring some spare change for extra drinks, to get ahead in the game, and to shop for some great butterfly-themed merchandise!

Admission is $25 for those who reserve and pay by Wednesday, August 26, or $30 at the door. Register and pay by phone with a credit card at (716) 569-2345 or online by clicking through “Monarchs & Margaritas” at www.jamestownaudubon.org.

So come on down: bring your friends and enjoy the food and drinks as well as the butterflies and fun.

The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

The Nature Center building, with its live animals, exhibits and Blue

Heron Gift Shop, is open daily. Outdoors are the Bald Eagle viewing, arboretum, picnic tables, gardens, and five miles of trails.

For more information about the Nature Center and all its programs, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.

Looking Up?I recently took a late night flight from Chicago

to Erie and was enchanted watching the lights of towns and cities slide beneath my plane in the darkness. Then I thought, “What are they all trying to light up, way

up here in the sky?” Half of all the city’s light is wasted shining up at the sky, and half the tax payers’

dollars for electricity with it. Tell your city planners they can light their streets for less, and much better, if

they simply keep the light where it belongs. Stargazers will thank them

for darker skies, too.

I’m tired of of hearing that there isn’t enough.

I’m tired of feeling like I’m not enough.

I’m tired of “us” and “them.”

I’m tired of “all” not really meaning “everybody.”

I’m tired... really, really, tired.

Sometimes I’m even too tired to cry.

But I’m not just tired. I’m hungry too.

I’m hungry for peace

in the world and in my own heart.

I’m hungry for justice

according to the people and not the players.

I’m hungry for one week, just one week,

when I can go to work without a tragedy

clouding and crowding my consciousness.

I’m hungry for love.

I’m hungry to hear, “I love you.”

And I’m hungry to say those words more.

I’m hungry to touch and not crash.

I’m hungry for affection and not infection.

I’m hungry for something real and raw.

I’m hungry for relationships that matter.

I’m hungry for conversation beyond the barometer and Bills.

I’m hungry for healing for you.

I’m hungry for hope for us.

I’m hungry for life for all.

I’m hungry.

I’m hungry for politics that make sense.

I’m hungry for systems that value things like... sense.

And I’m hungry for a world that cares more about sense than cents.

I’m hungry for a new day.

I’m hungry for a new way.

I’m tired and I’m hungry.

And I’m curious, Lord, what do you have to say?

“Come to me all you who are tired

and I will give you rest.”

“I am the bread of life,

whoever comes to me will never be hungry.”

~Jesus

Okay then. Let us pray...

In the Way,

PSDH

August CornJOIN ME IN THE KITCHEN with Vicki McGraw

Contributing WriterVicki McGraw

I really hate to mention it, but have you noticed a little feel of fall in the air? The color of the clouds in the sky has gone from fluffy bright white to a more-dense white-gray color; the early mornings and later evenings are close to jacket worthy and the late summer veggies are all over the markets. My favorites, tomatoes, zucchini and corn, are abundant and beautiful. Stores are starting to show Halloween decorations, so it must be back to school time!!

Have you had any homegrown corn yet this season? I have heard over and over people claiming it is the best tasting crop in years. I have to agree with this statement and have been coming up with new recipes to enjoy its short lived existence. There is nothing like that just picked flavor…it just screams August in WNY! While we will be enjoying lots of fresh corn over the next couple of weeks, I plan to freeze more to savor in the coming months.

My favorite method of cooking corn is to roast it on the cob, over an open fire. After soaking the ears (with the husks on) in water overnight, I simply put the corn on my grill (since I live in the city, a big bon fire is out of the question!) and cook over

a medium heat until the husk is thoroughly black and the kernels inside are tender. It will take about 30 minutes to cook, turning frequently. Another really cool (and super easy) method of cooking corn on the cob is in a cooler! Yes, I did say cook it in a cooler! It is perfect for transporting, cooking and serving corn at a picnic. I simply shuck the corn and place it in a cooler that has a tight fitting lid, then add enough boiling water to cover the corn by 2 inches. Close the cooler and be patient! Let it stay in the closed cooler for at least 30 minutes before opening the lid. After at least those 30 minutes, open the cooler, (beware of the steam!) and “Voila!” perfectly cooked corn on the cob. If your cooler has a drain plug, carefully open and drain off the hot water; if not, carefully pour water out of cooler. By adding some burgers and dogs to the grill we have a perfect late summer supper, no fuss required!

A terrific use for left over corn on the cob is sweet corn hash. Using my favorite hash recipe, I simply replace the usual corned beef with roasted corn and add some diced tomatoes. You get a wonderfully fresh, tasty side dish in a matter of minutes. Corn is also a terrific addition to my fresh tomato salsa. A cup of corn, a cup of diced tomatoes, some diced onion and pepper, a little olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley and bring on the chips. Yummmm!

There are only so many glorious days to a WNY summer, and only so much fresh produce to go around, so we have to enjoy every minute we can…with fresh food, family and good friends and a warm glow surrounding us! Enjoy!

Duliba to Guide Lake View Cemetery Tour

Noon Rotary Flag & Youth Exchange

Article Contributed byLake View Cemetery

Association Lake View Cemetery will host a two part Local Author’s Tour on consecutive Tuesday evenings, August 25th and September 1St. Author and Jamestown Fire Department Historian, Leo Duliba will guide the tours which are based on his book “A Transition In Red”, the history of firefighting in Jamestown. Mr. Duliba is a nationally recognized authority on the history of fire apparatus and has been a contributing editor to Fire Apparatus Journal. He is a retired member of the Jamestown Fire Department.

There are plans to have the Jamestown Fire Department’s antique 1937 Stewart/Caysler hose wagon at the cemetery as well as active duty firefighters. Copies of “A Transition in Red” and other items will be available for sale, the proceeds

of which will benefit the JFD Morton Club’s College Scholarship Fund.

The August 25th tour will meet at the cemetery office on the corner of Buffalo Street and Lakeview Avenue and begin at 6:00 pm with an opportunity to meet the author and have books signed if you wish. At 6:30 pm the walking tours will begin and last approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

The September 1st tour will begin near Soldier’s Circle, located near the center of the cemetery, and again begins at 6:00 pm. Many of the tour stops will be near paved roadways; however there may be some “off-road” excursions. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Tour goers may also want to bring along insect repellant. The tours are free of charge. Donations will be gratefully accepted.

For more information on all the summer tours, please call the cemetery office at 716-665-3206 or email [email protected].

During the Aug. 10 meeting of the Jamestown Noon Rotary Club, members enjoyed a presentation from Olivia Valone, who spent last year in Germany as part of the Rotary Youth Exchange program. She brought with her a Rotary banner from the Rotary Club Potsdam, located in the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg. The

banner exchange is one of Rotary’s more colorful traditions, as Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take along banners that can be exchanged when they visit other clubs. Each banner is colorful, unique, expresses the community and country of which the Club is a part, and tells a story of community pride. Exchanging Club banners is a longstanding custom that offers Rotarians the world over a tangible symbol of international fellowship.

One of Rotary’s most important initiatives is the development of youth into leader and the Jamestown Noon Rotary Club has always been deeply involved in these initiatives. In April, the club sent two students, Gillian Lutton and Jared Yaggie, to a weekend-long leadership development program in Canada. And last year, the club sent Olivia Valone to Germany for a year through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.

During its Aug. 10 meeting, club members heard a presentation from Yaggie and Valone detailing their experiences and what they had learned. Yaggie, who plans to become an active Rotarian, left

the leadership development program with a more defined sense of his leadership style and qualities. But he didn’t stop there ... he took the program’s directors up on

their challenge to start an Interact Club and, with the help of his

school’s Board of Education, has established one at Southwestern Middle School. The club will become active this fall.

Valone spent a year in Potsdam, the capital city

of the German federal state of Brandenburg. She also

enjoyed the opportunity to tour Europe with other Rotary Youth Exchange members. As a result of her trip, Valone plans to study international relations at American University.

A CELEBRATION OF ART, MUSIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Great Jamestown RiverWalk Festival

Article Contributed byJulia Eppehimer

The sidewalk along the Chadakoin will be bustling Sunday, August 23rd with food vendors, crafters, games and educational experiences. Jamestown Now, along with the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, Cummins Engine and Southern Tier Brewing Company are sponsoring the first annual Great Jamestown RiverWalk Festival from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“The whole point of the riverwalk festival is to get people to discover the riverwalk and walk around,” Mike Dykeman, Jamestown Now founder said. “There’s a lot of people in this area that are not aware of it, and it’s a beautiful, beautiful area.”

“We started talking about this in late fall, early winter,” Dykeman explained. “And as we developed what it was going to be about, in very early March we launched an event page on Facebook and immediately got tons of interest in this, both from vendors and the public.”

In its first year, the event has garnered 40 plus vendors to line up along the riverwalk between the Black Stone building and the train station. Word of mouth from the excited public helped boost the popularity of the upcoming event.

And that’s exactly what the committee for Jamestown Now hopes to do, tie everything together. “We really want our events to be outdoors,” Dykeman said. “Because that brings people downtown and walking around. So if you do an event indoors, then it’s only about that one particular location.”

There will be multiple artists and crafters, including several photographers, jewelry makers. A whole block of children’s activities will be available

to keep the young ones entertained as well. Eventz by Scott will have a bounce house, bingo, face painting, and many other games. Food vendors, each with unique fare, will keep visitors full.

But the festival is not simply food and fun, it will also be educational. Infinity, Striders, the Audubon Society, Chautauqua Lake Association, R.T.P.I, Chautauqua County Healthy Network, Grow Jamestown, Boys and Girls Club, and the Fenton History Museum will all be on site to provide information and learning opportunities.

Students from the Infinity Music Program will provide music throughout the riverwalk,” Dykeman explained. “Fenton will also be conducting tours during the day of the riverwalk.”

When the booths close at 5, the lights come down on the stage, where the local band Smackdab will perform a 2-hour concert. A fitting end to a day filled with activities.

This is one of three events put on by the Jamestown Now Association. They also host the ChalkWalk on September 12th, and the Sauce Off on October 3rd, which are both in their fourth years. “Hopefully The Riverwalk Festival is a good one like the other ones and this will continue every year,” Dykeman said.

They hope next year to have more of the riverwalk open and expand along both sides of the Chadakoin. Two footbridges connecting the two sides of the river are set to be constructed before next summer.

More information about the event can be found on the Facebook page: Jamestown Now. To contact the organization, email [email protected] or call 716-483-5772.

Southern Tier Brewing Company Taps First Kegs

of One Buffalo Beer

Article Contributed bySouthern Tier Brewing

Company

Southern Tier Brewing Company (STBC) has announced a new partnership with Pegula Sports and Entertainment (PSE) with the launch of a new beer, One Buffalo. The announcement and inaugural keg tapping was held at (716) Food and Sport in downtown Buffalo Friday, August 14th. Bills and Sabres President Russ Brandon tapped the first keg. The new beer was also available at Ralph Wilson Stadium beginning with the Buffalo Bills preseason game against the Carolina Panthers. On August 31st, One Buffalo will be available in kegs throughout Western New York and six-pack bottles will follow in September.“It’s always exciting to launch new beer.” said Phin DeMink, founder of STBC. “We collaborated with PSE to develop an exceptional craft beer. It’s designed to appeal to all types of beer drinkers, in particular Buffalonians. I’m extremely proud of this product and proud to make Buffalo its home. It’s our beer, it’s what we drink around here.”One Buffalo is a combination of North American hops, malted barley, oats and wheat. It is described as a smooth,

refreshing craft beer, brewed to be 4.8% alcohol/volume. “Since launching our One Buffalo initiative, it has been our goal to connect the community and have the city we love come together as one,” said PSE EVP of Marketing and Brand Strategy Brent Rossi. “We’re very excited to celebrate the passion of our area through One Buffalo,

Our Beer. We look forward to seeing the community express their

Buffalo pride with this beer.”“At Southern Tier we

are always striving to make the highest quality beer and offer innovative new products,” said John Coleman, CEO of

STBC. “Western New York has become

a sophisticated beer market, and One Buffalo is

a great fit for all beer drinkers. We are especially proud to be able to

brew this beer with PSE as our partner.”The artwork on the packaging was painted by Buffalo based artist Matthew SaGurney. Each panel on the six-pack has a different Buffalo-centric design. Southern Tier Brewing Company is committed to providing delicious, accessible and unique products. In doing so, we aim to change the way people drink beer. Our mission is to provide our customers with consistently fresh, clean, American craft ales and lagers that stand on their own merit. www.stbcbeer.com @stbcbeer

Reed Assists Veterans and

FamiliesArticle Contributed by

Senator Tom Reed

Tom Reed reminds veterans and their families to contact any of his offices if they need assistance navigating the Department of Veterans Affairs or any other government agency relating to their military service.

“I care about our service men and woman and their families,” said Reed. “It’s only fair that we fight for them after they have sacrificed so much for us and our country.”

Reed’s staff includes a dedicated veteran’s

caseworker who stands ready to assist those in need with critical expertise.

Since taking office Reed’s staff has handled almost 2000 veteran and military specific related cases, with over 200 coming in just the past 6 months.

Any of Reed’s offices throughout the district can be contacted with questions on this or any other Federal matter.

What I love about Lakewood:We moved here in 1993 from Pittsburgh and Erie to work for Time Warner Cable. Honestly we gave ourselves 5 years to be here and move on to bigger and better things, and then I got to know the people, the area

and the culture. We loved it here. We added a few more kids and fell in

love with Southwestern teachers. I had the opportunity to start Time Warner Cable 8 News and then found this area had history, people of passion and great character. We realized everything, other than the Steelers, was here right where we lived. How could we leave it?

County Health and Human Services Department Urges Lake Users To Be Cautious

Article Contributed byChautauqua County

Department of Health and Human Services

Warm temperatures are setting the stage for blue-green algae blooms on area lakes. The Chautauqua County Health and Human Services Department urges all residents to be cautious when recreating in our lakes, especially if algae is present. Blue-green algal blooms can be a problem because they can release a toxin. At high levels the toxin 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 can range in color from gray to shades of yellow, green, blue or brown. The algae is a problem throughout lakes and ponds in New York and other states, it has been especially significant on Chautauqua and Findley Lakes in recent years. Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health & Human Services, emphasized that, “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 Health Department water treatment plant does not pose a risk.” Schuyler added that “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.”Schuyler went on to explain that 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 five years. The only samples with high levels of microsystin were from locations where significant blooms were present and the water was very unsightly. The Public Health division 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 Health Department laboratory. Not all algal blooms are hazardous, but the Health Department recommends taking the following precautions:• Avoid or limit exposure to water where algal blooms are occurring. Avoid activities like 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 blue-green 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. Nutrients 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 blue-green algae, please go to the DHHS website at http://www.co.chautauqua.ny.us or call 716-753-4489 during normal business hours. The web site also contains information about bathing beach closures for public beaches in Chautauqua County.

Caber Toss is the main attraction with the Scottish Heavies.This year’s featured pro is Nick Kahanic of Falconer, a man who was inspired to toss his first caber at the 2007 festival. In Scotland, the home of the caber toss, the caber – Gaelic for wooden beam – is usually made from a Larch tree. It is 19 feet 6 inches long and weighs in at a hefty 175 pounds. Throwing a caber is a monumental sporting event that almost looks like throwing an entire telephone pole.“Nick Kahanic came the first year to look at the demo, and now he’s pro,” Clark said. “He’s competed all over the world.”Other Scottish Heavy Athletic competitions at the Celtic Festival include the Scottish Hammer Throw, the Sheaf Toss, the Open Stone Throw, the Weight Throw for distance and the Weight Toss for height. “People watch it because it’s unique,” said Clark. “Some events may look more familiar to spectators. In the Hammer Throw, for instance, the heavies spin before throwing it, similar to a discus throw. The stone throw is much like the shot put.”“The Sheaf Toss is a pitchfork event,” Clark said. “The idea is to throw a 16 pound bag of hay over a high bar with a pitchfork. Last year, we had someone toss the sheaf 32 feet in the air.”This year, Clark will have representatives from the World Scottish Heavies Championship attending the event in hopes to land the World Championship event for next year. It will be big for both the festival and Chautauqua County if

the World Championships are held here next year.“The championship moves around year to year,” Clark said. “If we get it that will bring me from 32 heavy athletes to 250 to 300, plus their families. That will be a big boost to Chautauqua County.”This year, the Buffalo Heavies will also get the children involved during a break in the competition. “They’re going to have a mini-stone throw and caber toss,” said Clark. “The caber is made of a painted linoleum tube.”The festival also features a Scottish Auction tent, similar to a Chinese auction, according to Clark. Money raised from the Scottish Auction goes towards the 96th Highlanders Scholarship Fund, Clark said. The Highlanders raised $2,000 at last year’s auction, and have awarded six scholarships so far.To learn more about the events, music and festivities at the 10th Annual Jamestown Regional Celtic Festival and Gathering of Clans, visit http://www.96thhighlanders.com/festival.html.For music lovers, the Friday Evening Ceilidh – pronounced “Kay-lee” and roughly meaning “family visit” – kicks off the festival with the Celtic Circle Ceilidh Band from 6 to 10 p.m. in the beer and wine garden with many more popular bands performing live throughout the event. One of these includes local band, Big Leg Emma that will be taking the stage on Saturday night from 7 to 10pm. There is no cover charge for the beer and wine garden, just come and have fun. On Saturday, gates open at 9 a.m. with a donation of $10 for admission, $8 for seniors. Children 13 years of age and under are free.

BUILDING LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS

I would like to thank our community’s educational leaders, business entities, not-for-profit organizations and foundation partners who continue to be part of the Chautauqua County Education Coalition.

A group of community organizations ventured into this “collective impact” journey back in October of 2012. To provide some background, collective impact is about bringing together a group of stakeholders to take on a community challenge that cannot be effectively impacted by one single organization. A paper titled Collective Impact from the Stanford Social Innovation Review points out that collaboration is nothing new, but that collective impact strategies are different in that they involve collaborating with purpose, a process, a common agenda, measurement, continuous communication and mutually reinforcing activities among participants with coordination by a central infrastructure.

When the Chautauqua County Education Coalition was formed, its primary focus was on Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). It has since evolved to take a broader view of our County’s learning system. Today the mission of the Coalition is to align resources and build capabilities to meet the evolving workforce requirements of the community. The Coalition now has 88 participating stakeholders representing over 66 organizations that are part of the Chautauqua County learning system. The goals of the Coalition are to improve outcomes at the key points along the learning system, enhance the opportunity for Chautauqua County’s economy to grow through the retention and attraction of employers and people and increase learning system effectiveness through better alignment, synergy and resource sharing.

The Coalition is looking at opportunities to benchmark and improve kindergarten readiness, identify and develop middle school to high school career pathways that connect to the health care and manufacturing economy and coordinate and align offerings of group training for in demand occupations in the health care and manufacturing economy. Through the Coalition’s work we are striving to make sure employers have the workforce that meets labor needs, improve the tax base, reduce poverty and reduce the number of children in poverty. The journey we have been on through the work of the Coalition has been worth the effort as it is helping build long term relationships among a variety of organizations in Chautauqua County that we believe will lead to sustainable long term outcomes that enhance our community.

The Chautauqua County Education Coalition is seeking to hire a leader who is inspired by the concept of collective impact and is will to work with us to continue our journey. If you are interested please contact the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce or email us at [email protected].

CHAUTAUQUA GRAN FONDO COMBINES TOURISM AND WELLNESS

Having long been in the business of working to provide quality, affordable healthcare coverage for our members, the Chamber of Commerce is encouraged by the growth in wellness events in Chautauqua County. This year a new event is in the offing, Chautauqua Gran Fondo, a bicycle run designed to circle Chautauqua Lake with options for a full 42 mile loop or a 20 mile loop that crosses at the Bemus Point-Stow Ferry. This event on August 29th features a number of sights in Chautauqua County, including the world renowned Chautauqua Institution. It begins and ends at Lakeside Park in Mayville, with a wrap-up Country Proud Celebration at Webb’s in Mayville featuring live music and food through the afternoon. Friends and family who don’t participate in the bike ride are still welcome to attend the celebration for just $10. Travelers who can’t bring their own bicycles can rent them from either Hollyloft or the Jamestown Cycle Shop.

Have you ever driven by a field of telephone poles and wonder how they harvest all the hops that are growing up to 18 feet in the air? Or how do you tell when the hops are ripe and ready to be picked? The Lake Erie Regional Grape Program is hosting a workshop on August 26 to provide answers to those questions as well as provide a firsthand look at some of the equipment used in harvesting and drying this unique crop. The agenda includes presentations on how to time your hops harvest, testing of hops for alpha acid, beta acid and hops storage index and a demonstration of the hop oast (dryer) developed by engineers at the University of Vermont, There will also be an opportunity to see three commercially available hops harvesters - Hopsharvester, Steenland HH 1000 and the Wolverine Harvester - as well as the CLEREL prototype small scale research harvester in action. Participants will also be given the opportunity to experience hand picking of hops.

The workshop will be held at the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory, 6592 West Main Road, Portland, NY and is comprised of two identical meetings to give broader access

to participants with different work schedules. The first meeting will be held from 3 - 5 PM and will then be repeated at 6 - 8 PM. A picnic style dinner of hamburgers, sausage and sides will be provided from 5 - 6 PM for participants of both sessions. This workshop is intended for anyone currently growing hops, thinking about growing hops and those who are just interested in learning more about hops. Registration for the event is $15 and can be accomplished on the Lake Erie Regional Grape Program website at: http://lergp.cce.cornell.edu, by calling Kate at (716) 792-2800 x202, or by email to [email protected].

The Lake Erie Regional Grape Program is a cooperative effort between Cornell and Penn State Universities; the participating Cornell Cooperative Extension Associations of Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara and Cattaraugus Counties in New York and Erie County in Pennsylvania; and participating industry partners National Grape Cooperative (Welch’s),

Constellation Brands and Walkers Fruit Basket. The LERGP extension team provides research-based educational programming for commercial grape growers throughout the year at venues across the Lake Erie grape belt.

If you ever doubt the global blanket of sports television, just know there’s something called ESPN Caribbean. There’s and ESPN Asia, Australia, Brazil, and ESPN-UK too. To my research there is no ESPN-Siberia yet. The ESPN Caribbean network airs in 32 countries, including one I visited recently. ESPN Caribbean SportsCenter in Jamaica features sports like America’s Cup yacht racing, grand slam tennis, a little golf, something called Netball (the “Jamaican Sunshine Girls” team is currently ranked third in the world), and a whole lot of soccer and cricket. There is most certainly MLB, NBA and NFL action, but not before you wade through scores and highlights of the Caribbean Premier League, the Caribbean Super 50, the Karbonn Smart League, the English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A Soccer, and the uber-important International Cricket Council with its wickets, nurdles, and wicked googlies. If I could name a single famous cricketer, Jamaican or otherwise, I would do it here. I can’t, but I do know that Patrick Ewing was born in Kingston, Jamaica and excelled at that game along with soccer. Jamaican icon Bob Marley was supposed to be excellent on a football pitch.

Usain Bolt currently dominates the Jamaican sports scene, as much as a single athlete can; the fastest human in the history of the world will tend to capture the attention of the nation in which he was born. He is relatively absent in the media, as Jamaicans seem to love their sports and sporting action more than they worship their sportsmen and women. Bolt adorns a few roadside billboards, shilling for cell services and energy drinks, but other than that he’s not as ubiquitous as you’d think. Opposite of the U.S. where we tend to define the performance by the performer, and an athlete like LeBron James can shake the rust off the belt of a once-proud city like Cleveland with one moving van full of sneakers, tank tops, and elbow pads (c’mon Buckeyes, he didn’t cure cancer, he plays basketball). On a short bus trip from Montego Bay (the inspiration of The Beach Boys, Bobby Bloom and Jimmy Buffet) to

Falmouth in Trelawny Parish (where James Bond jumped a speed boat onto a cop car) our tour group passed Bolt’s high school, what are the odds? Ben Johnson, incidentally is infamously from Falmouth also, must be something FAST in the water there. The fact of that coincidence was startling until you realize that there are only 2.7 million-some people on the island spread out over 4,244 square miles, a good two-thirds of it coastal and accessed from the main highway; not exactly like landing in Los Angeles and randomly driving by the White House.

The Jamaican Bobsled team famously competed in the 1988 Calgary Olympics Winter Games. Disney made a movie about them called Cool Runnings, and that name is plastered on everything from convenience stores to jet-ski rentals shops. Side note, renting jet-skis is against the law in Jamaica because tourists kept smashing into each other on them. As you’d imagine on a Caribbean island (where the ocean water temperature in August is a squishy 97 degrees by the way), water sports are plenty, the moratorium on wave-runners notwithstanding; scuba diving, windsurfing, sailing, waterskiing, snorkeling, parasailing and deep sea fishing.

Epilogue: The poverty in a Caribbean country like Jamaica registers when you internalize the fact that it can’t snow there. No population could survive a frigid climate in homes with so few amenities, like running water, a workable furnace and, often, walls and floors. I found myself and my family being escorted up the North Coastal Highway in a local taxi, from Negril to Mon-Bay. We were escorted by friends of a friend, real Rasta’s, dreads and all. The view was postcard tropical, blue-green ocean waves crashing on beach-heads and cliff sides. We stopped at a roadside shack, one of many, for something cold to cut into in the tropical heat. Our guides knew the place. They talked with the proprietor. Jamaicans speak English, until they don’t want you to understand them, then they speak something that isn’t English. Soon were sipping water from a raw coconut, and a mango concoction from a plastic cup.

I wander out of the broken-down bar, all particle board and corrugated tin. There along the roadway two kids are kicking a half flat soccer ball in a dirt driveway. Yeah, they like their sports in Jamaica. I lace up my shoes and join in.

Kick Cabin Fever Triathlon Supports Suicide Awareness

Article Contributed byChautauqua County

Department of Mental Hygiene

We all know how tough winters can be in Western New York. When the cold wind blows the last thing anyone wants to think about is getting up and moving rather than curling up under a warm blanket and sipping hot chocolate. Being active in the winter months is one of the reasons the Kick Cabin Fever (KCF) Indoor Triathlon was started eight years ago and is held the last Saturday of February each year at the Turner Community Center at Chautauqua Institution.

Cheryl Burns, known to friends and family as Brnz, began the indoor triathlon one year after her brother Marty Miller died by suicide due to several years of depression. The intent of this event is to get people moving during one of the toughest winter months in Chautauqua County. The exciting part of the KCF event is the number of first time Triathlon participants. “We get all sorts of people from really competitive to novice, very young to over 70 years, and those with challenges proving the human spirit can overcome a great deal. We keep the cost a very reasonable $35.00 per individual, $70.00 per team which can be made of 2 or 3. With that cost includes a long sleeve T-shirt with other goodies and great prizes are awarded to overall winners,” said Brnz. Erik Travis, Brnz’s nephew, manages the website and the computer program for obtaining order of finishers at the event. Marlena Franco, a dedicated volunteer, runs Erik’s program the day of the event. There are approximately 25 awesome volunteers, including friends and family, that make sure the day is fun and runs smoothly for competitors.

“Anyone can do this event. When someone hears Triathlon they immediately think impossible because they cannot swim well or feel they are not in good enough shape to bike or run. We are very lenient at this event for those people and we encourage them to simply float from one end to the other when swimming, spin on a

stationary bike the best they can, and walk the treadmill while listening to the goofy people around for support and the upbeat music. The three events; swim, bike, and run only last a total of 45 minutes, but will typically hook anyone to a future in multisport,” continued Brnz.

All proceeds for the Kick Cabin Fever Indoor Triathlon stays in Chautauqua County for suicide prevention efforts. This year a $600 donation was made to The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention. The Alliance was formed four years ago when local professionals from the mental health and other health care fields saw a great need in the community for support and education around suicide prevention. These community members and others answered the call for action and started The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention. Over the past several years The Alliance and its partner agencies have worked together to train over 1000 local community members from all walks of life in suicide

prevention and awareness. Recently, co-coordinators

of The Alliance, Jon Anderson and Victoria Patti established a non-endowed fund at the

Chautauqua Region Community Foundation

to serve as a depository for local donations that will support local programs for individuals and families in need.

The Alliance meets on the second Friday of every month to discuss community issues as well as plan upcoming educational events. The meetings are open to the public at Jamestown Community College in the Carnahan Building at 9:30 am. To learn more about the events they host and for more information, visit their Facebook page by searching for “The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention.”

As we would say in the triathlon world....”keep swimming” or “keep Tri-ing”....there is always a healthy way out of a bad situation. KEEP MOVING! If you would like to support a great cause with wonderful volunteers, many great people to share the day, and the best reason to get out and have some fun in February.

A Slice of HeavenArticle Contributed by

Chuck Abraham

Nestled in rural Cattaraugus County outside of Randolph on the Amish Trail lays A Slice of Heaven.

Literally.

A Slice of Heaven is an alpaca farm owned by Mike and Sue Bean of Randolph. The Beans also operate a gift shop on the farm called the Simply Natural Alpaca Gift Shop.

Sue Bean explained that she and Mike have owned the farm and gift shop for four years, but they have owned alpacas for six years. She first fell in love with alpacas while driving her bus route for the Randolph Central School District.

“We owned six alpacas, but they were on four different farms,” Sue said. “When we found this farm, we were actually looking at another property down the road. After that fell through, we saw this farm. Mike said that it was like a slice of Heaven.”

Bean said that they bought their first alpaca, Breeze, in September 2009. The Beans actually had to board their alpacas until they finally found their own Slice of Heaven in October 2011.

The Beans now have 30 alpacas – 22 females and 8 males – on their farm. The couple offers the male alpacas for herdsire (breeding) services ranging from $500 to $1,200. However, the females can be purchased as dams (the mother of a foal) or maidens (not previously bred).

Bean shears their alpacas once a year. She explained that it takes approximately three hours to shear all 30 animals. The fiber produced from shaving the stomach alone of one alpaca can cover one 3’ x 7’ tabletop, she added. The fiber is then carded to be spun into yarn after it is sent to the mill.

“Our original fiber mill in Alfred Station, New York was sold and moved to Syracuse,” Bean said. This required adjusting their

final process. “We now send our fiber to a mill in Wampum, PA.” It is a quaint village of just over 600 people but hundreds of miles closer than Rochester, New York.

Bean noted that the alpacas are reasonably low maintenance in care. She estimates 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening is all she needs to devote to the daily care of the animals. They chew cud like a cow, but coming from a land of harsh conditions, the high Peruvian Andes, they gain nutrition from their food more efficiently than cows and can thrive on low protein hay or ordinary pasture grasses.

“The gift shop takes up most of our time,” Bean said. The Simply Natural Alpaca Gift Shop offers many items made from alpaca fiber, such as socks, hats and blankets. While many of the current items the Beans carry are imported from Peru, some of the items are made right here in America, and some of them are even made with the fiber of the alpacas on their own farm.

“If you get a kiss from (dam alpaca) Tyf, you’ll want to get something more from her,” Bean said enthusiastically. Just last week, she gave birth to a healthy and totally adorable son, which has now been named Magnum 357. Readers are invited to see these beautiful animals, and even price them, perhaps for aspiring owners of a truly unusual outdoor pet roughly the size of the more familiar whitetail doe, though with a lot more soft, luxuriant fur, at www.asliceofheavenalpacas.com.

A Slice of Heaven Alpaca Farm and Simply Natural Alpaca Gift Shop are located at 11144 Pope Rd. in Randolph. They are open Monday and Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m., Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, please call (716) 358-5242 or visit their website at www.asliceofheavenalpacas.com.

in 2011 to 30 alpacas at their current Pope Rd. location.

Troxells Report to Rotary


Often we are reluctant to donate money to a worthy cause because we aren’t sure that our money actually reaches those it is intended for. Donating through Rotary is a way to alleviate those worries. The Jamestown Noon Rotary Club is fortunate to have a member who goes on location, checks and reports the progress to the Club. David and Marissa Troxell presented an update on two of our ongoing international projects currently sponsored by the Noon Club, weavers in Nepal and a school in Cambodia.

WEAN, Women’s Entrepreneurial Association of Nepal consists of a three year commitment by our club in association with a sister club at Jawalekhel, Nepal. The program consists of approximately 25 women learning to earn a living by producing high quality hand woven mats. All was on track until the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal in April. The area where the women live was not affected by the earthquake, unfortunately the areas where they had hoped to sell their mats

were devastated, mainly the capital city of Katmandu. The earthquake has put the entire county into a holding pattern, including the WEAN project.

Next we shifted our attention to a small school in Cambodia. This is a school for children so poor that they can’t afford to attend the public school, even though it is free. There are 335 students in first through ninth grades. Without the funding of Rotary Clubs around the world this school could not exist, Rotary pays for everything from transportation, to school uniforms. Our club has provided funding for grass on the playground, books and the Troxells teach while they are there. One of the most heartwarming projects initiated by our club is a pen pal program between Love School in Jamestown and the Cambodian School. In addition to their classes the children receive two hot meals a day and each family receives a 50 lb. bag of rice. There is an immediate need for individual student sponsors. Each of the 335 students needs to be sponsored, and they still need sponsors for this year. If you are interested please contact David Troxell, (716) 969-7165 or email him at [email protected].

Learn To Make Fairy Creatures at the Nature CenterArticle Contributed by

Audubon Nature Center

Nature can provide the materials for whimsical creatures and creations to commemorate a family trip, a special event, or just a favorite place.

You can learn to use materials found at the Audubon Nature Center for “Making Fairy Creatures” on Saturday, August 22, 2015, from 10 a.m. to noon.

A favorite activity of Nature Center summer campers is making “peep” houses for imaginary creatures that live in the forest. This workshop takes that idea further, using pine cones, leaves, sticks, and seeds to create

miniature forest creatures – some real and some fantastical.

In addition to its obvious craft nature, this workshop will also give you a different perspective on the outdoors, focus your attention on things you might not otherwise notice, and channel your creativity into a unique, place-based item. You will also learn more about the plants and animals of the region and showcase them in one-of-a-kind creations.

Sarah Hatfield is a senior naturalist at the Audubon Nature Center. She stumbled onto making these creatures during one very long winter.

Participants who have a mini-glue gun are asked to bring it.

Class size is limited. The fee is $16

or $12 for Friends of the Nature Center and children ages 9-15.

Reservations are required by Wednesday, August 19. Call (716) 569-2345

or use the online form by clicking on “Fairy Creatures” at www.jamestownaudubon.org .

Nature Center education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, Johnson Foundation, and Lenna Foundation.

The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

To learn more about the Nature Center and its many programs,

call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org .

On Saturday morning, August 22, at the Audubon Nature Center you can learn how to make delightful fairy creatures. This Boy Fairy was created and photographed by the workshop instructor, Nature Center Senior Naturalist

Sarah Hatfield.
