With such great gas mileage, low insurance cost, and great sales, it may be no surprise to some that the number of motorcycle riders increased in the last two years. The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) states that motorcycles get between 45 and 85 miles per gallon of gas and with a gallon of the precious fuel nearing $5; who wouldn’t choose to ride a more fuel-efficient alternative. Also, motorcycle riding in U.S. is at an all time high, that’s now taking the “biker” into mainstream America with more families riding together than bike gangs. As the AMA states: “it’s become big business in America.” The growing interest has only helped the Thunder in the Streets rally. It will also give everyone who may be new to the industry the opportunity to become more educated and enthusiastic about the evolving, yet classic hobby. There will be motorcycles galore. One will be able to see all kinds, types, and styles of motorcycles.

The all day rally next Friday will have continual live bands on the Renaissance Square in the front of the BWB Building. Locals and tourists alike can enjoy great refreshments and dance while enjoying live music. The Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena will also be featuring the Beer and Wine Garden. Outside of the Arena on Third St, onlookers will be able to watch “Starboyz”, the professional motorcycle stunt team.

Owens is no stranger when it comes to the career of Barbra Strei-sand. She started imitating Streisand in 1992, taking her tal-ent to clubs, cabarets, hotels, and dinner the-aters in Los Angeles and Atlantic City. Later, she performed onstage in Europe and appeared on nationwide televi-sion, creating more Barbra fans along the way. She will perform August 20 on the Float-ing Stage on Bemus Bay to benefit WCA Hospital’s Capital Cam-paign for its new emer-gency department. VIP tickets are $250, which includes a five-course meal and an open bar. Preferred seating tick-ets are $100.

Barbra Streisand has got to have one of the most powerful singing voices in America. Her lengthy career is filled with gold records and million sellers that stretch back even further than the well-worn singles and albums that once graced radio station studios in cities and towns across the land. A tribute to Streisand’s enduring career will be spotlighted by Sharon Owens when she once again visits the floating stage at Bemus Bay on August 20th, at 8 p.m. The performance will benefit WCA Hospital’s Capital Campaign for its new emergency department.

All summer long Dunkirk has been bringing cool music to the summer heat. Besides hosting multiple festivals and events, the City of Dunkirk Department of Planning and Development offers something unique in western New York. For the next four Thursdays, different bands will be taking over Dunkirk’s pier for the continuation of “Music on the Pier” for your enjoyment, and all for free. First, Boogie Fever goes on next Thursday, then Nickel City Pimp Choir on August 25, Jersey will play on September 1 and for the last performance, the Whiskey River Band will take over Dunkirk. All performances start at 6:30 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. The bands range in genre from disco to the 60s to Bruce Springsteen tributes and finally rounding out in country music. In 2010, the Whiskey River Band accepted “best country band” from the Buffalo Music Awards.

The summer season here on the shores of Chautauqua

is just starting to wind down. You can sense this as you walk down the sidewalks of Bemus Point and feel a certain crispness in the morning air. It’s a sign – a sign of the wonderful change coming very soon, whether you’re ready for it or not. As for me, I just love the on-set of autumn in the Southern Tier. Everyone will continue the summer traditions of boating, barbequing, and relaxing with a good glass of wine while watching the glorious sunsets. But late August can bring cool mornings and cooler nights – “great sleeping weather,” my mother always says. Short sleeves and shorts give in to sweaters and jeans, (which we all hope we can still squeeze into after a summer full of over-indulgence).

And the summer “hustle and bustle,” (it’s such a short season – we simply must cram in as much fun as we possibly can) starts to sputter a bit, largely evident during the quiet weekdays. It’s truly one of my favorite times of the year – this “shoulder-time” between summer and fall. Well, the change in seasons is inevitable, but we’ll scarcely have time to notice – there’s still two months left of fun in the sun, and I’m planning on taking every advantage of living in such a wonderful place. So, dear readers – keep an eye on the horizon but live for today and tomorrow. With a happy, upbeat attitude, you just never know – something really great is undoubtedly in store for you!

Until next week… JZ

Book Signing this SundayPam Spremulli Presents Her Children’s Book “WOOF!” in Bemus Point

CHAGRIN FALLS, OH. –After a successful visit to her hometown last month with a surprise feature on Time Warner Cable 8 News VIP Chautauqua, Artist/Illustrator, Pam Spremulli of Chagrin Falls, Ohio (formally of Lakewood, New York) will return to Bemus Point to promote her 2ndt Children’s book - WOOF!. She will be signing copies of her new book WOOF! at the Lakeside Cottage Shoppe August 14th from 11: 30am – 1:00pm. (90 Lakeside Drive). Lucky visitors may get a chance to meet Helen the store’s favorite dog and familiar furry face found within the book. WOOF! (PublishingWorks, Inc., Exeter, NH, 03/2011) Meet the doggies of WOOF! from the lovable Labrador to the spry Springer Spaniel. WOOF! will introduce you to a group of furry friends and show how each one is special in his own way. A great way for young children to learn about different dog breeds. WOOF! makes a fun “coffee table” book for adults too. This is Spremulli’s first collaboration with Neil Markey (a New Jersey native who now resides in Chagrin Falls, Ohio) who has been writing for children for over twenty-five years! His creativity, humor and love of dogs all come together in this charming look at what makes every dog special! Illustrator Pam Spremulli , accredited by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, is best known for her award-winning (GOLD Mom’s Choice award for distinguished Illustrations) childrenʼs book Letter Birds (PublishingWorks, Inc., Exeter, NH, 01/2010) along with her unique interpretations of architectural landmarks from New England to New Orleans. Pam takes familiar images and manipulates color in a way that’s eye catching and engaging. “The mouse is my

brush, the monitor my canvas” is how she describes her technique, “and not to forget a little dab of fun!” Her artwork has won numerous awards and is privately collected both domestically and internationally. She continues to show her work at Portage Hill Gallery in Westfield along with several other galleries in and around Cleveland, Ohio. Each summer Spremulli partakes in the VACI Membership Exhibit at Follwer-Kellogg Art Center in Chautauqua Institution. She is also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers

and Illustrators (SCBWI) and Northern Ohio Illustrator’s Society (NOIS). Pam was born and raised in the Chautauqua Lake Region of Western, NY, (SWCS 89, nee Swanson). Pam finds herself very much at home with her subject and instinctively draws the viewers eye to key points that might go unnoticed with more traditional forms of art. Pam resides in Chagrin Falls, Ohio with her husband and two daughters. For more information on Pam, her artwork and her books please visit www.pamspremulli.com.

Documenting StructuresLocal Team Compiles Images Reflecting County’s History

MAYVILLE, N.Y. - A group of volunteers from throughout Chautauqua County have been working to compile images of former or existing structures, which reflect the rich history of the County between 1804 and 1900. Calling themselves the “Historic Structures Database Team,” members have taken to our Main Streets and back roads, documenting and photographing the locations, conditions, and architectural styles of structures built during the County’s first century. Additionally, historical photographs at local museums and libraries have been researched to identify structures no longer standing, and to compare a structure’s appearance today with its past appearance. The database that has been compiled is extensive and continues to grow with contributions from team members and from the public. Information about the families who occupied the structures is added to the database when available, frequently coming

from descendants who visit the online database and find their ancestor’s home listed. The database is hosted on the County Historian’s web page at: www.co.chautauqua.n y . u s / d e p a r t m e n t s /c l e r k / h i s t o r i a n / P a g e s /HistoricalCountyStructures.aspx In addition to the Historic Structures Database, posters of Greek Revival Architecture for each town in the County are being created in conjunction with the County’s Bicentennial. The 20 posters that have been completed to date will be on display at the Bicentennial History Fair in August. A copy will be presented to each town for display in their town hall, library, or historical museum. Why Greek Revival? The style was not here yet in 1811, but many of them are 175 years old. They are not gilded Victorian houses but a few of them are still mansions. They are our Greek Revival homes, shops, inns and churches. They have been chosen to celebrate

the County’s Bicentennial because they represent the most popular architectural style of our merchants and our gentleman farmers prior to the Civil War. Also, they range in size from very large to very small, and over 60 percent of them have been lost to fire, demolition or severe alteration. About the History FairThe Bicentennial History Fair celebrates Chautauqua County’s rich and vibrant history by bringing together 54 organizations from the County that work to preserve and promote our local history. The History Fair will take place at Chautauqua Suites Conference Center on Route 394 in Mayville, on Saturday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m.- 8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is free. The History Fair is a Bicentennial Passport destination, so be sure to stop at the County Historian’s booth to get your passport stamped! For information, contact call (716) 753-4857.

Summertime in Bemus Point, NY sure is grand isn’t it? The summer sun is the perfect blanket touching down over the water of the lake and rooftops surrounding it. The live entertainment is anything but a lullaby as it triumphantly sounds the excitement of the season, and the crisp, refreshing water is the perfect compliment to the revved up atmosphere providing a calm and cool relaxer for all who dip their feet. It’s just so…fun here, isn’t it? And who knew there was an affordable way to experience every bit of it right here in the heart of the Village? Well, news is that Bemus Bay Condominiums has upped the ante this summer and put forth a real estate product unlike any other in the area. Seriously. The Bemus Bay Condominium Project has taken off. Starting at $335,000 each of the 40 units offers a pristine waterfront view of Chautauqua Lake. Catching every bit of sunshine reflecting off the lake, the condominiums have much more to offer than a great view. The kitchens and bathrooms all come with tile flooring and granite countertops. As Steve Holt, Sales Manager for Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate says, “There really aren’t a lot of upgrades needed because we went high end on everything from the start.” Holt isn’t kidding. Not only are the units high-end inside and out, but each one also includes

a dock slip, garage and an extra parking space. Additionally, owners of the units have access to the pool and spa area, but even that can’t top the location. The Bemus Bay Condominiums are located right in the heart of the Bemus Point Village. “It’s literally close to everything,” Holt reveals, “You’re central to everything Bemus Point has to offer! The stage at the Italian Fisherman is visible from the building; the shops and restaurants are just a walk or a short drive away. It’s really right where you want to be.” “The best part is, “ Holt continues, “that owners can get complete customization of the units. From flooring, to cabinets and carpeting, they get to choose. So it’s not just the fact that we’ve got the best spot for our owners to be, it’s the fact we’ll build out our units to their specifications as

well!” Bemus Bay Condominiums is currently offering four pre-finished units for the buyer wanting an “immediate in” to the community. Units available range from the 3 bedroom, 2 bath units offering 1500 square feet to the 3 bedroom 3 bath units with 1700 square feet. This summer alone, the company has already closed on one unit and is building out three others that are already under contract. “We’ve gotten the excitement back,” says Holt, “People are becoming much more active in the market and are ready to buy property here!” Bemus Bay Condominiums are located at 50 Lakeside Drive just south of Bemus Point Road. If you’d like more information or to set up a visit, please contact Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate at 716-753-7880 or visit online at www.howardhannaholt.com.

Bicentennial History FairEvent this Sat. & Sun. Features 20th Maine Civil War Fife & Drum Corps

As a special addition to the Bicentennial History Fair (Aug. 13 and 14), the 20th Maine Civil War Fife and Drum Corps will participate in the military encampment that will take place on the grounds of Chautauqua Suites Conference Center during the History Fair. Throughout the two-day event they will perform period music using authentic reproduction instruments, and offer presentations on the music and the crucial role played by Fife and Drum Corps during the war. The 20th Maine Civil War Fife & Drum Corps is a group of re-enactors dedicated to preserving our nation’s history and commemorating the sacrifices of the men and women made during the Civil War. This group is comprised of re-enactors from throughout the eastern United States who participate in numerous national events such as the Battle of Gettysburg and Bull Run. They also participate in parades and conduct living history demonstrations for community events and schools that include discussions of causes of the war, camp life, uniforms and period clothing, medicine, weapons, and performing music of the era with fifes and drums. Historical roots of the 20th Maine come from the famous Joshua Chamberlain, most

known for his leadership during the Battle of Gettysburg and his defense of Little Round Top. Some members of the group are descendants of the Chamberlain family; all are enthusiastic historians of our American past. Members continue to research and practice music throughout the year, ever mindful of their predecessors from the original 20th Maine, who when first mustered in, were threatened by sword from the commander because they could not carry a tune. About the History Fair The Bicentennial History Fair celebrates Chautauqua County’s rich and vibrant

history by bringing together 54 organizations from the County that work to preserve and promote our local history. The History Fair will take place at Chautauqua Suites Conference Center on Route 394 in Mayville, on Saturday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m.- 8 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 14 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is free. The History Fair is a Bicentennial Passport destination, so be sure to stop at the County Historian’s booth to get your passport stamped! For more information, contact Michelle Henry, County Historian, 753-4857 or henrym@co.chautauqua.ny.us.

On August 19, the Audu-bon Center and Sanctuary is taking a guided field trip to Erie’s Presque Isle State Park to view tens of thou-sands of Purple Martins. (Photo by Jennifer Schlick)

Presque Isle Field TripAududon Society Offers Excursion to Park to Research Purple Martins

JAMESTOWN, NY - On Friday, August 19, the Audubon Center and Sanctuary is taking a guided field trip to Erie’s Presque Isle State Park to view tens of thousands of Purple Martins. The Purple Martin is the largest North American swallow. Their flying speed and agility have led to their being described as “aerial acrobats.” When they approach their housing, they dive from the sky at great speeds with their wings tucked. By late August, Purple Martins are ready to head south. From many miles away, they gather into huge flocks before taking off all together. The cattail marsh at Presque Isle is one of their pre-migration staging areas. John Tautin, Executive Director of the Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA), will lead the 6 pm tour, part of Audubon’s Summer Learning Series. Participants will meet at Beach 11 on

Presque Isle and are encouraged to bring a spotting scope and/or binoculars, a lawn chair, and insect repellent. Tautin will play recordings of Purple Martin calls to attract the birds to a wire near the parking lot. Participants will get a good close look at the birds through spotting scopes and binoculars and learn how citizen scientists actually read out band numbers they observe. As dusk approaches, the group will caravan over to the roosting site to watch tens of thousands of birds gather. Cost is $10 for members, $12 for nonmembers and $5 for children 11 and under. Participants are encouraged to invite friends and carpool. A map to Beach 11 at Presque Isle is on-line by following the links at http://jasadultprograms.wordpress.com. All Summer Learning Series programs are made possible in part by a grant

Little River BandNational Act Takes Stage at Bemus Bay, Next Friday August 19

Have you heard about the Lonesome Loser? Are you in the mood for some Reminiscing? Then don’t miss a special concert appearance of the Little River Band on the floating stage at Bemus Point. The concert takes place Friday, August 19, at 7:45 p.m. and is part of the Bemus Bay Pops Concert Series. The music of the Little River Band goes back to the waning days of 45 records and vinyl albums, and popular music played on AM radio. Their string of hits continued on into the digital age. The Australian band, formed in Melbourne in 1975, scored several stateside hits, but never a number one charting single. They join the Bee Gees as the only two Australian bands to hit the pop charts in the United States. The band’s first American hit was “It’s A Long Way There,” which broke into the Top 30 in 1976. Following were a string of late 1970’s hit records, including “Help is on Its Way,” “Happy Anniversary,” “Reminiscing,” “Lady,” “Lonesome Loser,” and “Cool Change.” You can often hear their records on the radio, whether it’s on a classic hits station like CBS-FM in New York City, or the standards and oldies powerhouse “AM 740” in Toronto. Current members of the Little River Band are Wayne Nelson, Greg Hind, Chris Marion, Mel Watts, and Rich Herring. They’re still busy performing, both in this country and abroad. From 2006 to 2009, the band performed over 350 live shows, according to their official website. And they’ve stayed busy in the recording studio. Their most recent CDs are “Rearranged,” “Standing Room Only,” “Outback,” a cover of the Beatles “In My life,” and their first Christmas CD, “We Call It Christmas.” According to their web site, “It’s always fun to watch as people are swept up by the show’s vitality and volume of hits.

My name is Joann Wellman...

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.

Hello! My Name is Joann Wellman and I am from Lakewood, NY. I am happily married to Michael Wellman and we have two beautiful chil-dren together. Our son, Jason, is currently living in Virginia Beach, VA while our daughter, Rachel is entering her senior year at Penn State University. I love to cook and entertain my family. If anyone can be of help to me and donate, my blood type is “O” and I can contacted by visiting my page on www.wnykidneyconnection.org under “Those in Need.” Thank you!

performed onstage in Europe and appeared on nationwide television, creating more Barbra fans along the way. Owens says,” I guess I look like her (Streisand) and sound like her. I spoofed her at first, but then started taking it a little more seriously instead of making it campy. That’s really how it (Sharon’s career) fell into place.” Owens notes that while she sings like Streisand, it was a bit tricky mastering Barbra’s Brooklyn accent. Sharon Owens looks forward

to her return to Chautauqua Lake. She says, “I’m so excited to come back to Bemus Bay. Although, it isn’t ‘Babs and Frank’ this time, but I still work with Frank every night in Vegas! And funny enough, he plays drums for me and is the musical director for my solo show. I am doing my solo tribute to Babs. I will take (the audience) through the eras of music from the 60’s to now, and also her movies and Broadway (Funny Girl.) Also, the 70’s disco. You can’t forget ‘Woman in Love’ and ‘Guilty.’” Last year, Owens teamed up with a Frank Sinatra imitator to perform a concert that never was, seeing that Barbra Streisand never sang with Frank Sinatra. Dan Dalpra, who represents the

Bemus Bay Pops, is preparing for an eventful evening at the Italian Fisherman, which he owns. Dalpra notes that Sharon Owens “was a huge success and a great show last year, which is why we’re doing it again. It was a good fundraiser for the hospital.
