Striders New Programs

Academic

Striders has introduced new academic programs to help students meet and prepare for Regents exams and inspire them toward future career pathways. Regents exams are a critical component of high school graduation. All students must pass them to meet the basic requirements

for graduation, and many aspire to score greater than 85% to achieve advanced designation. Every Friday

after school leading up to Regents exams in January and June, Striders holds a Regents Prep Pizza Party.

During these sessions tutors cover course material, provide test-taking strategies, and practice questions

from past exams. This program is open to students from all school districts and is provided at no cost.

Striders has also developed hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) workshops that are fun and engaging. The goals of these workshops are to inspire youth to pursue careers within STEM fields and help them gain the knowledge necessary to that pursuit. Striders’ Minecraft Workshops use the popular building game to introduce students to computer programming. Within the game students learn to program robotic “turtles” that mine and build for them. The Scratch workshops use an introductory drag-and-drop programming language developed at MIT. Students are able to program a variety of interactive stories, animations and games.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE

Editorial

The invasion has started. Robots are here… and if that is not enough some of us are also looking for E.T.

We’ve discovered thousands of planets around distant stars by now, so one of these days an Extra Terrestrial will probably show up on your doorstep looking for whatever Extra Terrestrials eat. I just hope it is not you or me.

Fortunately, robots don’t eat much. They might be a little easier to handle.

Both robots and ETs do have one thing in common, though: they are not human. They are not at all like us. They are aliens. But we love them anyway. Remember ET who just wants to phone home, C3-PO and R2-D2, and Microsoft’s Cortana and Siri on your iPhone?

But consider the robot’s humble birth in 1921. That’s when Czech science fiction writer Karel Čapek's synthetic, thinking humans – the Roboti – revolted against their masters and drove the human race into extinction. That was odd; they had started out friendly.

But Čapek created them from the Czech word robota which means ‘forced labor.’ Few thinking beings, whether synthetic humans or aliens, you or I, will stay friendly if we are forced into hard labor. That’s the problem. If they are smart enough, they will rebel.

Today’s quest for Artificial Intelligence, AI, for instance, has raised alarms among some of the world’s great thinkers. Elon Musk, creator of PayPal, Tesla cars and SpaceX rockets that fly to the International Space Station, and famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, both say they are

terrified that, like Čapek’s Roboti, smart robots, even of our own making, will become hostile.

But robots have to be smart, don’t they? Stupid ones can’t do much. The answer is apparently quite simple. Let’s make our robots really, really smart – just don’t let them think for themselves.

Leave that thinking stuff to us natural, all organic humans. We’re good at it, right?

That’s why some very clever people actually invented a robot like that. You can go see it and try it out for yourself when you accept this week’s invitation from the Jamestown Gazette to visit WCA Hospital and meet da Vinci, their surgical robot named Art. It doesn’t do the surgery, the surgeon does that, but it helps him or her do it better than ever.

So don’t get carried away. This isn’t one of Karel Čapek's synthetic humans – one of the Roboti. It is a very smart thing that can’t think at all. It will never replace your doctor or even try to.

Dr. Robert Winston, a British professor, medical doctor, scientist and politician, said it like this, “Robots may cut down on infection and mean a consultant can see more patients, but wouldn't you rather meet the doctor than a machine?” Well, that’s WCA’s promise. The age of the good robots has arrived.

Now, if we can just get ET to land here…

Enjoy the read.

Changes in Leadership Announced by Hospice

Chautauqua CountyArticle Contributed by

Hospice Chautauqua County

Hospice Chautauqua County today announced the retirement of Ron Sellers, President & CEO, and the appointment of Shauna Anderson as his successor.

"We are extremely fortunate to have a person of Shauna Anderson’s caliber ready to assume the leadership role and the board feels she is an exceptional choice," said Board Chair, Rev. Samuel Shreffler. “Shauna has refined our clinical operations and conceived and implemented a successful community-based palliative care program while achieving a positive NYS Health Department Survey of our hospice program. Hospice Chautauqua County sits in a position of strength as we enter 2016 with new leadership and enthusiasm.”

Ms. Anderson worked in both the skilled nursing environment and in home healthcare before joining the HCC care team in 2003 as a hospice nurse. She was quickly appointed Director of Clinical Services in 2004 and then to VP of Clinical Operations in 2006. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a minor in Biology from SUNY Brockport, as well as a Master of Science in Community Health Nursing from D'Youville College. Ms. Anderson is a Registered Nurse and is a certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse. She is active in numerous community organizations including Zonta, An Open Table and the Chautauqua Home Care Association.

“We are also extremely grateful for Ron’s service to Hospice and our community,” Mr. Shreffler continued. “Under his leadership, Hospice Chautauqua County has achieved financial stability

and steady program growth. He brought considerable healthcare insight to us when we needed it and we will be forever grateful."

Mr. Sellers has served as the senior executive of Hospice Chautauqua County since 2003, when he joined the organization after serving in various leadership positions in hospital and education administration. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education from Buffalo State College and Masters Degree in Education Administration from the University of Buffalo. During his career in education he served as a teacher, secondary school principal, director of vocational and special education and director of instruction for a suburban BOCES in Western New York. In the late 1980's Ron was recruited to Millard Fillmore Hospital where he served as a senior administrator assisting in the development of Millard Fillmore Health System. He then joined Mercy Health System of Chicago where he served as Vice President for Administration until he was recruited by a regional health system where he assisted in turning around an eleven-hospital rural health system.

Faith Matters

On Course

I had a dream the other night where I was a man on a mission. I had a purpose – a true sense of calling. There was a path I was meant to walk and over the course of the dream, I walked it. This path took me down streets and through stores. I ventured into big buildings and navigated small corridors. I walked with drive and determination. I cannot for the life of me remember what my purpose was; I didn’t know where I was going. Yet, as I progressed through the dream I knew which direction to go. It was as though God was pulling me forward.

In the midst of this drive to move forward, there were also voices telling me to stop. Initially, as I walked down my path there were people and voices encouraging me to quit. There were distractions and obstacles. While in a bookstore a man grabbed me by the arm and began pulling me away from where I felt I should go. In a staircase another person blocked my way. In my dream I alternated between feelings of confidence as I moved forward and frustration as I was thrown off course.

I’ve never read much into dreams, but this one stuck with me. The parallels between this dream and my life struck me. See, my life is thrown off course all the time. Nary a day goes by the way I expect it to. Some mornings I wake up vowing to accomplish this or do that, and by 9a.m. its clear that none of my plans are going to happen. On other days I tell myself I will live better, carve out time for exercise, be nicer to people, or practice forgiveness and compassion – only to find myself participating in patterns of behavior that go against everything I had hoped for.

Scripture is filled with stories of people who struggle to stay on the divine course God has laid out for them. In the Hebrew Bible, Abram (later Abraham) wrestles with his wife’s barrenness. Fear and doubt lead him to stray off course and take matters into his own hands. The

Apostle Paul was imprisoned, beaten and persecuted for following Christ’s call. All of the oppression he received was Rome’s attempt to stall his ministry. Even Jesus finds himself tempted by the devil, exhorted by Pharisees to leave town and challenged by his disciples who attempt to keep him from the cross.

On the discipleship road there will always be voices that attempt to lead us astray. At times, the voices will be in our own heads as we wrestles with grief, anxiety, anger and despair. At other times the voices will come from this world as it exhorts us to selfish living and satisfying our cravings. And at still other times the voices that tell us to stop will be from the people in our life.

In my dream when I found myself blocked on the staircase, I looked up at the man in my way and said, “I know you and I know what you’re doing.” He let me pass. As I went forward I repeated those lines to the many distracters, “I know you. I know what you’re doing.” With each utterance the obstacles lost their power and control. The feeling of accomplishment and purpose was exhilarating.

When I woke up I had one singular thought:

I should try that sometime.

Confront those obstacles, obstructions and the enemy head on: I know you. I know what you’re doing.

It’s worth a shot. I might actually have a day where I stay on course.

In the Way,

PSDH

New Beginnings Street JAM 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament Set for June 4

Article Contributed byThe Resource Center

The premier outdoor basketball tournament in Chautauqua County will return to the Jamestown area when the 20th annual Street JAM takes place Saturday, June 4.

This year’s event comes with a change in location. The 2016 Street JAM will be held in the rear parking lots of The Resource Center’s administrative office building, located at 200 Dunham Avenue in Jamestown.

“Over the past 19 years we have been successful operating our tournament in a wide variety of venues, from parking lots to pavement. After reviewing all of the outcomes from our previous tournaments, it has been decided to take our tourney on the road once again,” said Victoria Trass Bardo, the tournament director. “We will be able to showcase our beautiful building, grounds and, most importantly, our jumbo parking lots.”

In addition to the change in location, Street JAM will be a one-day tournament this year. The event had always been a two-day tournament, but organizers believe a one-day event will be popular with players and families for a variety of reasons. With a one-day tournament, teams will have shorter wait times between games. And conducting the entire tournament in one day will eliminate some of the conflicts that occur each year regarding other school-related events that take place the same weekend.

Street JAM is a three-on-three tournament in which players of similar age and ability compete against one other. Teams are assigned to a specific court based on the age and gender of the teams’ players. Each division will crown a champion.

This year’s Street JAM aims to attract young players (boys and girls age 18 and younger). For players age 19 and older, there will be one, open division for the men and one for the women.

“The 2016 tournament will focus on the very young, youth and players up to age 18,” Bardo said. “Our new format also includes the younger players playing in the morning, while high school players will take to the courts in the afternoon.”

The registration fee is $125 for each four-person team (three players on the court at one time, plus one substitute). To obtain a registration

form, phone the Street JAM hoop line at 661-1477.

The annual basketball festival

has been a staple in the Jamestown area since the first tournament

was held in 1997. The event attracts hundreds

of teams and thousands of spectators. Street JAM

offers something for the entire family, since in addition to the basketball games there will be food, music and a number of other activities.

Street JAM is put on by Filling the Gap, Inc. Money raised through Street JAM benefits people with disabilities and their families in Chautauqua County, supporting underfunded and non-funded services and programs provided through The Resource Center.

People can keep up to date on the latest developments regarding the tournament via Facebook at www.facebook.com/jamestownstreetjam. “We are very excited about our 2016 tournament with all of the improvements,” Bardo said. “Many details to follow, so stay tuned.”

For more information, phone 661-1477 or visit www.jamestownstreetjam.net.

Striders Night Live

students between 8-14 years old. These weekly hour-long workshops take place at Chautauqua Striders office over a period of five weeks. The cost is $50 per five-week session.

Athletic

Striders launched a new athletic program this year called “Striders on the Move.” This is an 11 week program that meets every Monday night in January and February leading up to the St. Pat’s Dash. The program, taught by Randolph High School track coach Brooke Adams, trains those looking to get back into or stay in shape over the winter months. The program features interval, distance, dynamic stretching and speed training. “This program has been a huge hit in its first year,” claims Sean Hanus, Director of Events, Marketing, and Athletics for Striders. “We were expecting about 20 runners for the program and we ended up with 40 so we were really excited about the turnout. We hope to extend another session of the program over the summer to lead into our Dan Feather 5K.” Participants of the program pay $50 for the 11 week course and receive free entry into the St. Pat’s Dash.

Mentoring

“Kids on the Move” is a new program with Chautauqua Striders. This health and wellness mentoring program pairs two paid staff and two to four volunteers with 20 students. The mentors and mentees meet with students weekly for 8 weeks. Together they discuss a wellness topic including proper stretching, self-care, healthy eating and much more. After the group discussions mentors and mentees “hit the road” gradually increasing the distance jogged. At the end of the 8 week session mentors and mentees participate in a 3 mile or 5k race. The first group of “Kids on the Move” participants are from Fletcher Elementary School and will be participating in the St. Patrick’s Dash in March.

Another exciting new adventure for Chautauqua Strider mentoring is a project based mentoring program in Partnership with Jamestown Community College and the East Side YMCA. Volunteers are

JCC students who are participating in the Spanish II class and mentees are middle school students who attend the East Side YMCA after school program. Mentors and mentees meet weekly for eight weeks and together are completing a project exploring local community and cultures.

Jackson Center Presents “The Ethics of Spiritual Care for the Imprisoned:

Nuremberg and Today” Article Contributed by

Robert H. Jackson Center

The Robert H. Jackson Center, a non-profit dedicated to promoting liberty under law through the examination of the life and work of Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson, and his legacy’s relevance to current events and issues, announced that it will present “The Ethics of Spiritual Care for the Imprisoned: Nuremberg and Today,” in its continuing commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trial. Robert H. Jackson Center Executive Director Susan Moran Murphy made the announcement.The March 9, 2016 event begins at 7:00pm in the Cappa Theater at the Jackson Center, 305 East Fourth Street, Jamestown, NY. This program is free and open to the public.Seventy years ago, Father Sixtus O’Connor and Pastor Henry Gerecke stared into the eyes of evil and refused to blink. Under the principles of international law, as set forth in the Geneva Convention, these two men of faith heeded the call to provide spiritual counseling to enemies of the state. Ministering to Hermann Göring, Albert Speer, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and other imprisoned Nazis -the henchman of Hitler's nightmare- would prove to be one of the most rigorous challenges humanity would ever face to its core principles. The depth of this challenge is eloquently recounted in author Tim Townsend’s bestselling book, “Mission at Nuremberg.”Gregory L. Peterson, partner at Phillips Lytle LLP, as well as co-founder and board member of the Robert H. Jackson Center, will open the program by presenting a case study on Pastor Gerecke and Father Sixtus O’Connor (St. Bonaventure University alumnus) who endeavored to “save the souls” of the Nazis by leading them down a spiritual path of repentance and forgiveness, as that story is detailed in the book. By examining what these men of faith faced, not only in the stark prison cells within the Palace of Justice, but abroad, where they were vilified by the general public for ‘fraternizing’

with Nazis. People were outraged that priests would give audience to men who had systematically strived to obliterate anyone of the Jewish faith, all non-Aryans and those who did not unquestionably fit within and accept Nazi ideology. Fast forwarding to 2016, the program will shift to a panel of four representatives from the three Abrahamic faiths to discuss how different religions deal with incarcerated individuals and the prospect of “forgiveness.” Luke Fodor, Rector of St. Luke's Church Jamestown will facilitate the discussion with Sam Qadri, Director of Jamestown Islamic Society Community Outreach ( Jamestown), Linda Dunn, President of Temple Beth El (Dunkirk) and Maj. Tom Geisler (Prison Chaplain). Can a religious representative provide spiritual care that leads an individual to be accountable for his crimes? What are a religious community’s obligations in caring for those incarcerated? Can human kind be saved from self-inflicted destruction by summoning the courage to value ethics as the safeguard against the abuse of liberty? These questions, and more, will be addressed during what promises to be a very thought provoking evening. Justice Robert H. Jackson cautioned the world, over sixty years ago, that “[w]e can afford no liberties with liberty itself.” United States v. Spector, 343 US 169, 180 (1952) (dissent).

The Doctors and the Robot"the movements are so natural." Da Vinci combined rocket science with its original battlefield smarts to make the operating room its new, natural home.

Do It Yourself?

Da Vinci’s controls are so simple, according to Linda Johnson in Marketing & Public Relations for WCA, that kids tell her the robot is just like a videogame. At the hospital’s “Meet the Robot” event, visitors and even their children can operate da Vinci for themselves and find out how easy it is to do something like peeling a grape with it. “I want people to experience for themselves how a surgeon can perform highly complex procedures with unparalleled precision,” Johnson said.

Residents are invited to personally test-drive the da Vinci robot surgeon and to meet the surgeons who operate it on Monday, February 29 any time between 4:30 and 7:00 p.m. at the WCA Hospital Auditorium, 207 Foote Ave., Jamestown, NY.

WCA’s million-dollar da Vinci machine will naturally stay in the hospital’s operating suite on February 29 for its own safety and to maintain sterile conditions. Intuitive, however, will bring in an identical mobile da Vinci system for the public to see and enjoy operating.

Easy to Learn

“The learning curve for robotic surgery can be very short,” Dr. Brown added. “It is easy for any surgeon already experienced in laparoscopic surgery. “Though learning how to use a robot can be easy,” Dr. Brown added, “we have a certifying program on a simulator so that doctors can practice, master the instrument in the lab before touching a patient and then complete many cases under the guidance of a physician already highly trained in robotics.”

The Robots are Coming

“To do surgeries in the future,” Dr. Brown said, “you will have to do the robot for the same reason that 20 years ago surgeons had to convert to laparoscopic surgery because the older open surgery – a gallbladder removal for instance – required a 2- to 3-day hospital stay and 4 to 6 weeks of recovery. With laparoscopic surgery, on the other hand, everybody went home the same day and often right back to work the next.”

“The next natural progression is toward robotic surgery because you can see better, have finer control and use even better instruments through skin openings as tiny as 1/3 to 1/5 inch.” The robot offers the surgeon natural vision at a nearly microscopic level with instruments that will not shake or vibrate and can reduce ordinary hand movements to proportional but minute levels of manipulation.

New Partners

Dr. Brown expects the new affiliation with

UPMC to positively impact WCA’s robotic surgery program. “Our robot is as busy as any surgical robot in Buffalo or Erie,” he said. “Our recently completed 700 cases in general surgery are more than anybody else in the region. UPMC has a Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence which we are now a part of through our new affiliation with them.

“Our partnership with UPMC will also help us recruit of new surgeons to Jamestown,” Dr. Brown added. “If they want to be part of a state-of-the-art robotic surgery team without contending with the hectic pace of a congested metropolitan environment, Jamestown is the place. We offer a wonderful lifestyle for new physicians without sacrificing participation in the latest cutting-edge techniques and academics.”

Testimonial

Jodene Strom, robotic gallbladder surgery patient of Dr. Brown’s, said she had very little pain after surgery. “I experienced some slight discomfort the first day, but surprisingly was sitting comfortably on my front porch that very afternoon. I chose robotic surgery because it would allow me to be back to work sooner. To my delight, I was back to normal activities and work within two days.”

Take the Test Drive

Test-drive the surgical robot during the community event, “MEET OUR ROBOT”, dress up like a surgeon and walk the robot red carpet, and hear Dr. Timothy Brown’s presentation, “Robotics In Surgery” at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, February 29. For additional interactive activities, go to www.wcahospital.org, listen to what patients are saying about robotic surgery at www.wcahospital.org/roboticsurgery or contact Linda Johnson, WCA Hospital, (716) 664-8614. Free and open to the public, event parking is available across the street from WCA Hospital’s entrance on Foote Avenue.

Farmer Neighbor Dinner Tickets Available

Article Contributed byCornell Cooperative

Extension

Chautauqua County is rich in agriculture, with over 1,500 farms producing grapes, milk, meat, crops, maple syrup and vegetables. We also have many agribusinesses that serve our farms and families throughout Chautauqua County. Local residents are very fortunate to enjoy the local, nutritious foods produced and the open spaces that our farmers proudly manage.

To celebrate this agricultural bounty, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County is pleased to announce the first annual Chautauqua County Farmer Neighbor Dinner to be held on Tuesday, April 5th, 2016 at St, John’s Church, 270 Newton Avenue in Jamestown, NY.

Tickets for the Farmer Neighbor Dinner are now available for $20 per person purchased by March 15th, and $25 per person after March 15th. For the Farmer Neighbor Dinner on April 5th, the social hour will begin at 5:30 pm, buffet dinner at 6:30 pm, followed by the program with a keynote speaker. Local Individuals and families involved in Chautauqua County’s agricultural industry will also be recognized for their contributions to our communities. The delicious dinner will feature locally produced food products, specially prepared by Robert Cross and his staff of 3-C’s Catering of Kennedy, NY. The menu will include foods grown by local farmers in Chautauqua County.

The highlight of the event will include our invited speaker, Commissioner Richard A. Ball, from the New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets, Albany, NY. A native New Yorker, Mr. Ball has made a living in agriculture his entire life. His inspiration to become a farmer came from his grandparents, who were lifelong dairy farmers. At 18 years old, Mr. Ball began his career in agriculture as a farm worker at a vegetable farm in Rhode Island, and later became operations manager of that same farm. After 20 years in Rhode Island, Mr. Ball moved back to the Empire State with an opportunity to become a farm owner. For the past 20 years, he has been the owner and operator of Schoharie Valley Farms in Schoharie, NY, which consists of 200 acres and produces a wide range of vegetable crops, small

fruits and greenhouse crops. The farm serves both retail and wholesale consumers through an onsite farm market known as The Carrot Barn and ships to brokers and restaurants in the local area as well as New York City.

Individuals on the planning committee for this upcoming Farmer Neighbor dinner include: Chair - Lindsay Eckman, Farm Credit East; Ted Card, Chautauqua County Beef Producers and Lake View Gardens; Debra Kelley and Cassandra Pinkoski, Chautauqua County Soil & Water Conservation District; Joanna Nocero, Nationwide Insurance and Chautauqua County Farm Bureau; Rhonda Lindquist, Western NY Crop Management; and Lisa Kempisty, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County.

To purchase tickets for this upcoming Farmer Neighbor dinner, please contact Debra Kelley at 716-664-2351 Ext 102 or [email protected]. To help sponsor the program with a monetary donation, local food donation, or if your organization or business wishes to exhibit, please contact Lindsay Eckman, at 716-753-2144 or [email protected].

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

Support EnterprisesArticle Contributed by

Beth Peyton

The management team at Support Enterprises, Inc. (SEI) is thorough, thoughtful, and understated. Michael Suppa, Vice President of Operations for Filling The Gap (a group of companies that directly or indirectly supports the work of the Resource Center), along with Jeremy Weilacher, SEI Prototype and Design Manager, and Gary Neel, SEI Production Manager, are eager to talk about their work, and to display the variety of products they manufacture.

But their excitement is almost palpable just beneath their professional demeanor. A quick tour through the facility at 92 Fairmount Avenue, Jamestown, makes it apparent why they’re so enthusiastic.

With a staff of 25 employees, SEI won a contract with the Resource Center’s Allied Industries, and in October 2014, began sewing Individualized First Aid Kits used by the U.S. Marines in the field. By the time the project concludes next August, workers from the Resource Center will have filled 186,000 of the zippered pouches with medical supplies.

Allied Industries is one component of the Resource Center, whose primary function is to provide employment for persons with disabilities. As such, they are eligible to receive government contracts, including contracts that prohibit the use of foreign labor.

Everything manufactured by Support Enterprises is proudly made in the U.S.A. And while the Resource Center remains an important client, business continues to expand to other commercial enterprises.

Support Enterprises has grown to 90 employees now, and has expanded their physical plant from 3600 square feet in 2012 to over 15,000 square feet today. That growth resulted from a lot of creativity and ingenuity that expanded both the product line and the market.

One of Support Enterprises’ largest ongoing sub-contracts is with the Resource Center’s Allied Industries for straps. Made of strong polyester fabric with plastic batting for strength and flexibility, the straps are a key component of MOLLE Gear, used by the military and others. MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment, and the straps, which have heavy-

duty snaps and Velcro on one or both ends, enable pouches, packs, and other equipment to be carried individually on belts, vests, or other apparatus.

Components and ideas from one project have spurred the development and manufacturing of a variety of products. Right now, Support Enterprises makes the first aid kits mentioned above, along with tourniquet pouches that are used by firefighters all over the country, ammunition pouches, training vests for the coast guard, keg insulators, and police vests for various law enforcement agencies, including the Jamestown Police Department.

The straps, a key component of the armored police vests, enable officers to attach some of their equipment to the vest itself, lightening their otherwise heavy belts.

The vests can also be customized for each police department.

A backpack, for sports equipment and other uses, is in the design stage.

Management at Filling the Gap and Support Enterprises bring a broad-based background to the table. Michael Suppa has a manufacturing background, going all over the world with Blair Corporation, headquartered in Warren, PA, before coming to Filling the Gap. Production Manager Gary Neel has a background in the automotive industry, food service, and furniture manufacturing.

“I started on the line,” says Jeremy Weilacher, the Prototype and Design Manager. “Then I sewed my way up.”

The production floor at Support Enterprises is buzzing with activity. Workers look up in greeting, but soon get back at it, some listening to music or podcasts as they cut, sew, trim or assemble one of the products. Questions are answered with enthusiastic responses.

“This machine trims off all the loose threads,” a woman explains. “We used to have people trimming with scissors. This is better.”

Underneath the activity, the sense of enthusiasm and pride in the work is apparent on the factory floor. It feels like a team.

“We listen to the workers’ ideas,” said Production Manager Neel. “If they come up with a better way to do things, we’ll make changes.”

Change seems to be the norm as this business grows. Like Jeremy Weilacher, Support Enterprises seems to be sewing its way up.

National Comedy Center Assumes Operation of Gateway Train Station,

Extends New Rentals

Article Contributed byNational Comedy Center, Inc.

The National Comedy Center, Inc., has assumed operation of the Jamestown Gateway Train Station, and has announced it will extend new event rental opportunities through 2016.

The use of the facility for events will now include the new Comedy Center Park and Patio, newly constructed components of the site that were developed in 2015 using National Comedy Center grant funds.

Additionally, the construction planning for the site has been updated to allow rentals beyond the prior June 30 cut-off.

“As we have moved through the final design process, we have gained more visibility on the construction plan”, Tom Benson, NCC Chairman said. “As a result, we have been able to extend the timeline for the rental of the entire Gateway Station Facility through all of 2016”, he added.

The train station will also remain open to the public Monday through Friday during regular business hours.

Looking ahead to completion of the National Comedy Center exhibit experience, officials say the facility will remain available for event rental.

“Museums have become a unique, thematic

venue option for weddings and other events, from the Philadelphia Museum of Art to our own Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, which has hosted dozens of weddings and parties in the last five years. This will continue when the National Comedy Center opens. Guests enjoy an atmosphere of mingling over the exhibitry – whether for its historical value, local flavor, sophistication or, soon – sense of humor,” said Executive Director Journey Gunderson.

In addition to event rentals at the Jamestown Gateway Train Station, the National Comedy Center currently operates all private events and rentals at the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum and Tropicana Room, a re-creation of Ricky Ricardo’s Manhattan night-club.

The train station has been leased by the National Comedy Center since January 1, 2016, for the purpose of housing the new visitor attraction based on the celebration of comedy. The exhibit experience has been designed by Jack Rouse Associates with input from Local Projects, and is described as an immersive, interactive exhibit experience that celebrates comedy’s past, present and future in all of its forms.

The National Comedy Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

For more information on how to rent the Jamestown Gateway Train Station, Comedy Center Park & Patio, or the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, contact Dallas Thurn at [email protected] or 716.484.0800.

Blue Star Mothers Collecting Donations

Article Contributed byBlue Star Mothers

The Blue Star Mothers NY Chapter 4 are currently collecting donations for their Easter Care Package Drive. After a very successful Christmas Drive with 507 packages mailed, the Chapter is hoping that the Easter Drive will be another successful opportunity to offer support and encouragement to troops deployed around the world. The care packages will be mailed on March 5, and donations of material goods and money are being requested to assist in this project. Included in the solicited donations are snacks, candy and toiletries of various types. Handmade cards and letters are especially appreciated by the troops, and civic organizations, both adult and children, are urged to participate. There is also the opportunity for organizations to participate in the packing day which will be Saturday, March 5 at 9 AM at the Fluvanna Community Church, 3363 Fluvanna Avenue, Jamestown. Since its inception during WWII, the Blue Star Mothers organization has existed to provide support for

active duty service personnel, to promote patriotism, and to assist veterans’ organizations in our communities. As proud mothers who now have or have had children honorably serving in the US Military and who are ready to fight for the protection of this country, the Blue Star Mothers look for ways to encourage and support US troops as they also support each other in their journey. The Blue Star Mothers spend over $10,000 each year in postage alone for their care packages. Through the generous support of the community through direct donations and fundraisers, they have been able to realize their goals for these drives. As many who have served know, these packages provide more than some necessities; they provide the encouragement and support needed during the time of separation from friends and family. The Blue Star Mothers are interested in obtaining the names and addresses of any deployed military personnel, whether they have local ties or not. Please forward any information to [email protected],
