Architectural Digest ... page 4 By Ian BiggsOver fi fteen years ago, Sandra (Sandy) Meyers Snabl used to jog past the Dutch colonial Lakewood home and always wonder about it. The ramshackle estate sat down off the road and had fascinated her with its gorgeous location and endless sense of possibilities. Though working in advertising at the time, she constantly dabbled in her next career as an interior designer, and she saw the potential that the home had. One day she fi nally decided to leave a note for the owner that if he “ever decided to sell the home” to please call her. Years later she received a call from the homeowner’s estate. He was since deceased and his lawyer had found Sandy’s note with his belongings. Several years of calls back and forth went by before Sandy and her husband were able to fi nalize the deal.

The 12th Annual Bemus Bay Pops concerts kick off June 28th and continues through Labor Day with a full schedule of concerts, movies

and dances. “We’ve got a great line up this year with a few extra special events”, says Dan Dalpra, chairman of the Bemus Bay Pops. The concerts will run the gamut from Rock and Roll, Motown, Classical,

to Irish. Tribute bands will cover music of Elvis, Jimmy Buffett, and Rod Stewart; throw in music of the 60’s and 70’s and you have something for just about everybody. “There’s a group coming in July

Where else can you fi nd fi rst rate lectures, plays, golf, music, and art, all within a few weeks time and within walking distance of each other? The answer could only be the 2009 Chautauqua. Beginning June 28 and extending through August 30, Chautauqua is a unique and irresistible blend of events. Only a few minutes from Ellicottville, and located on the western edge of Chautauqua Lake, Chautauqua offers some of the fi nest cultural events in the Western New York area. Mike Sullivan, Director of Institution Relations and Public Affairs says, “Our mission is to help everyone be all that they can be. Lifelong learning is really our hallmark.”

The unique blend of cultural events and historic location prompted historian David McCullough to say, “There is no place like it … anywhere.” Mike Sullivan adds with more than a touch of pride in his voice, “What we offer is affordable, magical and wonderful.” In planning a trip to Chautauqua, Mike reminds people not to forget the kids. “We have something for everyone, from pre-Kindergarten on up to the parents.” He goes on, “In the morning the kids can go to the Boys and Girls Club while the parents attend a lecture. They can meet for lunch and discuss the day. In the afternoon the kids can swim or play tennis while the parents see a play, and at night they can all attend

Thunder in the Streets will hit the streets July 10 and 11, 2009. Jagman Entertainment will be providing professional motorcycle stunt shows along with the Army National Guard “Patriot Chopper”, custom-built by Orange County Choppers. “There are currently two bikes traveling around the country helping to recruit those who are interested in joining the Army National Guard, so we put in a request to have one bike in Jamestown,” said Sgt. Lapere, Army National Guard recruiter from Jamestown. “We encourage everyone to stop by and see the bike.” Contact Sgt. Lapare with Army National Guard and “Patriot Chopper” questions at 664-0982. Since its creation in 2004, Thunder in the Streets has drawn thousands of motorcycle riders and enthusiasts and continues to grow annually. Jagman Entertainment will provide a team of crazy motorcycle stunt men that will amaze the crowd with incredible stunts as they defy the laws of physics on 400 lb., 100+ horsepower Buell Firebolts. This professional stunt team will bring a dazzling show of fun, fl ash, skills and thrills each and every time they ride. These guys work hard every show to give the crowd what they want and have been successfully

delivering for the past 4 years! This amazing stunt team is comprised of two of the fi nest riders in Central Pennsylvania, and performed for the fi rst time in Jamestown in 2006. Members of the stunt team have competed professionally in national stunt events and have been featured in over 10 nationally released fi lms and magazines for their crazy motorcycle antics.

“Thunder will be a very exciting event this year. We have thrilling stunt shows lined up, along with the Patriot Chopper on display,” saidTiffani Reynolds, DJDC Special Projects Manager. “Spectators always enjoy the stunt shows and live entertainment throughout the weekend.

I try so hard to help my mom but sometimes I can’t because I don’t feel so good due to my dialysis treatments. My mom just found out that she also has kidney problems and needs a kidney.

If you’re reading this, I hope it’s sunny and you’re somewhere in beautiful Chautauqua County. Maybe you’re walking along the shores of Chautauqua Lake watching the sun sparkle the blue water. Or perhaps you’re at a local winery, sampling some of the crisp whites our region has to offer. Strolling arm-in-arm with a friend through the Institution grounds sounds perfect, but no more so than dining in one of our fabulous restaurants with the family, taking advantage of the talented chefs who work here.

Summer in the most southwest corner of New York State is such a wonderful time of the year. The springtime hustle has been replaced with a more relaxed pace, one conducive to unwinding and recharging your own internal batteries. Everywhere you

look you see beauty – it’s no wonder so many visitors come here to enjoy our warm sunny days and cool, starry nights. To me, it’s the most delightful place on earth – right here, right now… Take a deep, cleansing breath – now exhale; repeat

as necessary. Smell the wonderful freshness the air has to it, and make sure you take it all in – not just the summer sights, but the tastes, the sounds and the fun. You couldn’t be at a better place at a better time. Lucky you…Until next week… JZ-B

FREDONIA – “Every Little Step,” the documentary exploring the mounting of Broadway’s original “A Chorus Line” and its 2005 revival, is the next featured fi lm in the Cinema Series at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. It will be screened on Sat., June 27, at 8 p.m. and Tues., June 30, at 7:30 p.m. “Every Little Step” explores the incredible journey of “A Chorus Line” from ambitious idea to international sensation. It compares and contrasts the original musical with the 2005 revival. It investigates the societies in which the production has debuted, and why the themes are so timeless and universal. Finally, it goes behind the scenes with exclusive interviews and footage of the revival’s audition process, revealing the dramatic journey of the performers and unfolding a story of life imitating art. “A Chorus Line” isn’t just another hugely successful Broadway musical – it’s an international phenomenon that has spanned four decades and reached audiences in 22 countries around the world. Through 15 years of continuous performances from the 70s to 90s and a revival in 2005, “A Chorus Line” has touched generations with stories so poignant, they could only have come from the truth. Who would have imagined that such an enduring piece of modern culture would arise from middle-of-the-night conversations in a dance studio?

‘Every Lttle Step’ the documentary wll be performed at the Fredonia Opera House on Sat. June 27 at 8 p.m. and Tues., June 30 at 7:30 pm

The source material of “A Chorus Line,” those dead-of-night conversations, was recorded to audio tapes that were locked away for decades – until fi lmmakers James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo were granted unprecedented access. Interviews, then and now, with the creative minds that shaped “A Chorus Line” and the cast who realized it provide insight into behind-the-scenes events and reveal the truths behind the genesis of the show in “Every Little Step.” For the fi rst time in history of Broadway, outside camera crews were allowed into the extensive audition process as the show’s 2005 revival was mounted. This exclusive privilege allowed the fi lm’s directors to capture intimate and grueling behind-the-scenes moments

– actors suffering emotional breakdowns, dancers executing the most exquisite pirouettes of their lives, and directors moved to tears by a new delivery of a line they’ve heard a thousand times before. Out of the thousands of performers who audition, only 19 are chosen to open the revival on Broadway. Their lives are interwoven with one of the world’s greatest musicals, their hopes and dreams hanging in the balance. “Every Little Step” is their story, and the story of the phenomenon known as “A Corus Line.” Lisa Schwartzbaum of Entertainment Weekly calls the fi lm “one of the most successful depictions of the theatrical process I’ve

The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau is working with Chautauqua Striders to provide Welcome Packets to all 1200+ athletes that will be participating in the championship meet July 9-12, 2009 at Strider Field.

The Visitors Bureau is currently looking for restaurants, retail shops and organizations to participate in the 35 Coupon Sheet that will be distributed to athletes and additional attendees

– the bureau will be printing 2500 sheets that will also be included in the major hotels. To participate in the coupon sheet it will be a $50 donation to Chautauqua Striders. Those organizations wishing to participate with the event, but unable to participate in the coupon sheet, packets are being assembled that will include area brochures, menus, pens, pencils, and other Jamestown and

Chautauqua County items for all participating athletes. This is a great, easy and affordable way to get these athletes and families into our area restaurants, retail shops, attractions and various organizations. Anyone interested in participating, either with the coupon sheet or welcome packet items are asked to contact Sheila Lesniowski at 357-4569 or meetings@tourchautauqua.com.

Architectural DigestBY IAN BIGGS

Over fi fteen years ago, Sandra (Sandy) Meyers Snabl used to jog past the Dutch colonial Lakewood home and always wonder about it. The ramshackle estate sat down off the road and had fascinated her with its gorgeous location and endless sense of possibilities. Though working in advertising at the time, she constantly dabbled in her next career as an interior designer, and she saw the potential that the home had. One day she fi nally decided to leave a note

for the owner that if he “ever decided to sell the home” to please call her. Years later she received a call from the homeowner’s estate. He was since deceased and his lawyer had found Sandy’s note with his belongings. Several years of calls back and forth went by before Sandy and her husband were able to fi nalize the deal. Pregnant with twins, Sandy began the daunting task of gutting the home and so commenced the process of designing her dream home. With sledge hammer in hand, Sandy and her team took the

home “down to the studs” to begin the restoration process. Originally built as a summer home, most of the home’s history lies clouded in mystery. What Sandy does know is that the home pre-dates 1887 and had undergone many changes, but it “hadn’t been updated” since 1940. In fact, the home sat vacant for fi ve years before Sandy and her family moved in. The home at that time was in dire straits, however, “I did make sure we had plumbing and electric before we moved in.” she said. Now, ten years later, the Dutch colonial home lies in splendid condition. Though there are always small projects to do, the home has been gutted and remodeled and is a testament to the hard work that the family has put into it. “Yellow is my favorite color by far,” Sandy said about the exterior color of her home, and it suits the home well. Entering under a mahogany lined portico, this home exudes comfort and livability. Upon entering and to the left is the dining room which leads through to the kitchen and sun room beyond. To the right lies the wood paneled study. Moving forward takes one into the living room. A staircase abutting the living room leads you up to the second and third fl oors. The home fl ows seamlessly from one room to the next. Sandy has an eye for detail and her laid back personality coupled with the ability of making people feel comfortable shows throughout the design. The house is built for entertaining and family living. Each room has its own character yet retains a modern classic cottage feel. The masculine feeling Den next to the Living Room has leather-toned walls which compliment the original dark bricked fi replace and leather seating. In the Living Room, oil paintings and Chinese porcelains work well with the comfortable deep cushion

sofas. Sandy collects blue and white Chinese export vessels which can be found throughout the home. Each vase has its own scene, though remarkably enough, each is from a different time period and had been exported to different countries. Custom colors range from light browns to pale blues, dark reds and browns to white and cream colors, and of course, yellows. The original fi replace in the living room has been kept and refi nished, one of three original fi replaces retained.

On the opposite side of the living room lies the kitchen. Sandy said that this portion of the home was the “largest undertaking when redesigning the house.” The kitchen, adjacent sun room and offi ce/gym above were all new additions. The house’s old kitchen had been built in the 1930s and was severely outdated. The kitchen is usually the centerpiece of any gathering in any home, and this holds true for Sandy and Eric who love to

entertain. It has been designed by Sandy and done all in white with polished nickel fi xtures and an abundance of glass. The kitchen’s centerpiece is its massive white Carrara Marble Island. Though intimidating at fi rst glance, one soon gets used to leaning on it and chatting. The new kitchen is “the center of the home for parties; it was designed around the doors and windows that were put in,” said Sandy. Light fi lls

The home fl ows seamlessly from one room to the next. Sandy has an eye for detail and her laid back personality coupled with the ability of making people feel comfortable shows throughout the design. The house is built for entertaining and family living. Each room has its own character yet retains a modern classic cottage feel.

This Lakeside home has been a labor of love and the attention to detail shows, but most importantly it is about comfort and easy living, and this home is a testament to that.

FREDONIA - The 2009 Festivals Fredonia season promises to be more visual, interactive, and entertaining this year as organizers are busy preparing four exciting festivals the public won’t want to miss. This year’s event schedule kicks off with Victorian Dazzle July 17 and 18. Come and experience the art, history and romance of a simpler time, circa, 1891 with Victorian costumes, ghost tours, Forest Hill Cemetery walking tours, their own version of the “Antique Road Show”, Barbershop Quartets, contra dances, seminars, workshops, and demonstrations. Antique vendors and a variety of Victorian-era arts will add to the authenticity of the era of mystery and intrigue. September 11 and 12 sets the stage for the Village’s largest and most-attended Red, White and Blues Festival. This year’s Red, White and Blues Festival features fi ve time

award-winning Blues singer Rory Block who will perform September 12. The concert is free to the public. This year’s Red, White and Blues Festival features a bartenders’ contest, workshops on the history of the blues, wine making and wine tasting from local wineries, children’s activities and a dunk tank- so you can “enter your response” to local offi cials. The fall season would not be complete without the annual Harvest Moon Cemetery Tours on October 16 and 17. The public is invited to partake in horse-drawn trolley rides through historic Forest Hill and Pioneer Cemeteries. The tours are based on folklore and truth about the heroes and villains who now “rest” in Forest Hill Cemetery. The tours also include a short history about the “racetrack” that became Fredonia’s historic cemetery. To help kick-off the holiday season, the fourth and fi nal festival of the season, Miracle on Main Street, is scheduled

for December 5. Santa Claus will pay a visit to Fredonia to meet with all the good boys and girls. The event also features free movies for families at the 1891 Fredonia Opera House, a Hospice remembrance, giant gingerbread houses on display at the White Inn and a gathering of community residents at Barker Commons to sing carols during the lighting of the Village holiday tree. Festivals Fredonia partners with the village of Fredonia, town of Pomfret and local merchants, volunteers, and organizations with the goal of attracting neighboring communities as well as visitors from the Buffalo, NY, Erie, PA and Cleveland, OH areas to the village for fun and fellowship to the village of Fredonia.

FREDONIA – In conjunction with Festivals Fredonia’s Victorian Dazzle Festival, the two-time award winning Intermezzo Coffeehouse is sponsoring a workshop entitled Everything You Wanted Know about Spirits & Mediums, featuring well-known medium and healer, Barbara Sanson. The hour-long workshop will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 2:30pm. The workshop will encourage audience participation, as the premise is to explain and explore any questions from the audience regarding Spiritualism. Topics that may be explored include: Do Angels really help us? What’s the difference between a ghost and a spirit? How do we connect with the world of Spirit? How can I communicate with my loved ones who have passed over? Sanson is a long-time resident of

Lily Dale, the largest Spiritualist community in the world. An ordained minister, she retired from a successful business and professional career in 1988 and embarked on a journey to expand her life as a medium and healer. She has been the chairperson of the Healing Temple in Lily Dale for more than 17 years and has served as president of the Lily Dale Medium’s League for the past six years. Sanson notes that the major focus of her work is dedicated to individuals who look to fi nd healing within their hearts, be it through spirit communication or inner awakening from spiritual healing. “As we heal ourselves, we expand our horizons and seek balance in our lives,” she says. “It is my sincere privilege to be of support and assistance in the discovery of fi nding ‘the joy of the journey’.” Seating for the workshop is

limited and is available through advance reservation only. Presale tickets are now on sale at the Intermezzo Coffeehouse, 12 Park Place, in Fredonia or by calling 716-672-6070. The cost of the workshop is $12 and includes a beverage. In addition, all participants will be entered into a random drawing to win a free 15-minute private reading with Sanson during Intermezzo’s monthly Medium Saturday, on Sept. 26. In addition to the workshop, the Intermezzo Coffeehouse also will host two closed Circles readings as part of the Festival. Each circle is limited to 15 participants and will be held 4:15-5:45 p.m. and 6-7:30 p.m. Seating is by reservation only. Presale tickets are $20, which includes the reading, a beverage & dessert.For more information about the workhops, please call 716-672-6070.

This Week’s Feature Properties

The “World Series of Cars” is a fundraising event that assists the Jamestown Babe Ruth World Series Committee in hosting the Babe Ruth World Series. The 25th anniversary was in 2008 and this event has raised more than $200,000. The success is in large part due to the very generous supporters and sponsors of the event. The World Series of Cars is recognized as one of the best regional car shows in the Northeast. Up to 400 cars can be expected in attendance on a sunny show day and it is a wonderful walk through the

history of the automobile. Participants travel several hundred miles to take part in the fun and fellowship of the day. Many of the sponsoring and supporting groups have special activities and displays. Examples of these include drawings, contests, equipment/product displays and special interest items. The event has not only developed into a great car show quality-wise but it is also a day of fun and entertainment with attendance being around 8,000 each year. The Committee is currently looking for items to include the driver goodie bags.

Items can include but not limited to magnets, brochures, menus, key chains, pens, pencils, erasers, coupons, etc. The 26th annual World Series of Cars will take place at Bergman Park, in Jamestown, NY in July of 2009.For more information about the organization or interest in joining the World Series of Cars Committee please contact President Charles Sinatra, DDS at 716-487-1050 The event is presented each year by the Chautauqua Lake Region Antique Automobile Club of America and the City of Jamestown.

Together, the Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation (DJDC) and the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation (JRC) have developed a regularly scheduled concert series in downtown Jamestown – the Riverwalk Concert Series. The series will run every other Thursday, starting this Thursday, June 4, 2009, through August 27, 2009. Each concert will be held at the Riverwalk in Brooklyn Square, adjacent to the JAMA Riverwalk Center, from 7pm-9pm.

“The River front is an integral part of Jamestown’s Urban Design Plan,” said Maclain Berhaupt, JRC Urban Design Plan Director. “We believe this concert series will help re-shape residents and visitors views of the riverfront as a recreational waterway verses strictly an industrial waterway and is critical to the success of the Urban Design Plan.” The goal of this series is to work towards developing the river front as an attractive destination. By doing this series, both organizations envision new visitors to the

riverwalk who will realize what a gem the river is to Jamestown. There are seven community-based bands scheduled, ranging in genres. “This series will have a positive impact on the community by inviting a variety of new and returning visitors to the riverwalk every other week through the summer,” said Tiffani Reynolds, DJDC Special Projects Manager. The summer concert series is free to the public and the community is encouraged to attend.

seen – and in itself, an artful drama of winning, losing and working one’s butt off for the love of the stage.” Rated PG-13 for some strong language including sexual references, “Every Little Step” runs 96

and a whole lot of Fun’”. Dan explains, going on, “We are also bringing out a group out of Nashville Tennessee called the NashVegas Allstars; they’re phenomenal…they put on a great show of country Rock.” Dan also emphasizes the unique quality of the venue with their fl oating stage positioned at the waterfront docks in Bemus Bay on Chautauqua Lake. The stage is close enough to shore for guest on land to see and hear well, and since the concert shell is open at both ends, boaters can enjoy the festivities from the water. Dan brings up another point about the Pops, “I know we are living in diffi cult times, but we are still able to provide to the public these shows free…and if everybody chips in a little, we’ll be able to continue (with shows) for free.” But the Pops is more than just great concerts…”the movies

again will be back on Tuesday nights starting July 7. We’re starting all the big free outdoor movies, which you can watch from land or on your boat,” says Dan. As if that isn’t enough, July 3rd and August 7th they rope off a section in front of the stage area for a street dance. For those with performance aspirations there is the Chautauqua Lake Idol. Just like American Idol contestants get a chance to strut their stuff in front of judges on select Mondays beginning June 29th. The fi nals are August 17th and the winner will have the opportunity to perform with the Pops orchestra during the Labor Day weekend Grand Finale. The quality of the amateur competition is on par with what you’ll see on the national show, “Some of our contestants go on to make their own CD’s and pursue their careers”, says Dan. The impact of the concerts goes beyond just entertainment, according to Dan “It has proven to be a huge, not only a cultural event but economic growth event for the entire region.”

Concert goers are encouraged to patronize the local restaurants and shops. But some of the benefi ts extend to more than local businesses, Dan tells how, “The people that are here will bring their friends, their friends come in and discover it, the next thing you know they’re getting bigger boats because they are bringing more friends!” he adds with a laugh. Dan points out “The pops program has become a valuable asset to the entire region drawing visitors for the tri state area. It has become a major attraction benefi ting the entire region with over a $7 million economic impact to the region. We really need to help support and continue this program for the benefi t of everyone.” So come on down to beautiful Bemus Point this summer and enjoy the concerts, wine, food and friends. The Bemus Point Pops shows that the summer night air in Western New York can be fi lled with music and good times. For more information go to www.bemusbaypops.com.

the space and large windows look out to Lake Chautauqua. Abundant storage seems to be everywhere, though Sandy attests that “every space is fi lled.” Secret drawers lie above and on either side of the massive Lacanche stove, hiding spices and such. On the opposite side of the kitchen from the stove lies the large glass China cabinet and buffet which encases a hidden bar behind a mirrored glass sliding door. “It’s perfect for entertaining rather than having the bar at the other end of the house,” she tells me. Next to the kitchen lies the sun room with wrap around glass windows. Bathed in light, this room is perfect for summer lunches or to read a book. Upstairs on the second level, one sees the children’s

rooms, bathrooms, offi ce/gym and the master suite. Each room is brightly colored and airy. Double doors lead to the master where a mini library fi rst greets you. One continues through an archway designed by Sandy, and into the master suite complete with fi replace. Originally, the bedroom, master bath and closet were three smaller bedrooms that Sandy had turned into two rooms. The design of the Master Bath (and incorporated walk-in closet) reminds me of the classic look of the suites at the St. Regis in New York or the Dorchester in London. Antique looking Concinnity fi xtures and his and her sinks are surrounded by large mirrors and small lamps. A garden jetted tub and blue and white tiled walk-in shower complete the bath. The offi ce/gym on the opposite side of the second fl oor was part of the new addition and has cathedral ceilings and decks on two

sides. A large nautical lamp hangs from the ceiling above. On the third fl oor of the home one fi nds the brightly painted children’s play room complete with all the essentials a kid needs including game tables, TV, games and bean bags. Separate from the main house lays the two plus car carriage house with upstairs apartment. The gardens are well maintained, and an “original to the home” tennis/sports court lies on the west side of the home. Moreover, what lakeside home wouldn’t be complete without large wrap around decks and a dock? This Lakeside home has been a labor of love and the attention to detail shows, but most importantly it is about comfort and easy living, and this home is a testament to that.
