The sidewalk along the Chadakoin will
be bustling Sunday, June 28 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 are a lot of people in this
area who are not aware of it, and it’s a
beautiful, beautiful area.”

The idea for the riverwalk festival came hosted a logo design contest, which was
to them in the fall, and there has been open for amateurs and professionals
alike. “To get interest in the new event,

“And as we developed what it was going as the winner. “When you look at this

launched an event page on Facebook also downtown, so it kind of ties
and immediately got
tons of interest in this,
both from vendors and
the public.”
In its first year, the
event has garnered
46 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.

Chautauqua County Government... on the Right Track
Article Contributed by
Vince Horrigan
County Executive
W hile traveling around Chautauqua
County during my Neighborhood
Chats, I am energized by the
conversations I am having with our
citizens. I am hearing that we are on
the right track but that more work
needs to be done. The condition of
our lakes and waterways is a hot topic
and people are encouraged by the
new Chautauqua Lake and Watershed
Management Alliance, Lake Erie
dredging projects, and completing
the sewer system around Chautauqua
Lake. Their message to me is, “You’re
on the right track, now get it done.”
Our seniors, farmers, and home owners
are in agreement with the multi-year
3 percent or more property tax relief
that will accompany the 1/2 percent
increase in sales tax pending approval
by the New York State Legislature
this week. They acknowledge that we
must grow this county by reducing the
burden of property taxes to encourage
new businesses and home owners to
move into Chautauqua County and
grow our tax base. They understand
that the small sales tax increase will be
shared by those visiting Chautauqua
County
through
our
growing
hospitality and tourism industry. They
think we are on the right track with
lower property taxes.
Some are still wondering what
happened to the proceeds from the
sale of the former Chautauqua County
Home. I remind them that the $14.3
million net proceeds from the closeout
of the County Home enterprise fund
has been moved into our fund balance
to maintain a minimum contingency
reserve fund. The privatization of the
senior care facility has added millions
of dollars to our tax base, expanded
jobs, and paved the way for expanding
senior care in Chautauqua County
via the private sector. In addition the
residents of Chautauqua County were
saved from a double digit property tax
hike to offset a depleted reserve fund.
Clearly, the sale fits right in with our
growth strategy.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE
June 22, 2015
E
ditor’s
Message
Festivals
The dictionary says a festival is “An organized series
of concerts, plays, or movies, typically one held
annually in the same place.”
Festivals come in all sizes and shapes and almost
any excuse in the world is good enough to have one.
But once in a while doesn’t that word “organized”
get in the way? I think part of the fun of a festival
is when it gets just a little bit out of hand. Nothing
dangerous. Nothing bad. Just a little sillier and less
organized than our usual buttoned-down, work-aday jobs. After all, you’ve got to loosen up once in
a while, right?
So how about the Riverwalk Festival in downtown
Jamestown? This week the Jamestown Gazette
invites one and all to follow your Page 1 tour guide,
the Gazette’s own Julia Eppehimer, down by the
riverside along the Chadakoin for no stranger reason
than to simply enjoy the beautiful new riverside
park still undergoing scenic improvements and
extensions and getting more beautiful every year.
Singing, dancing, backslapping greetings for old
friends and new ones, and maybe eating just a little
bit too much of stuff that tastes just a little bit too
good…now that’s a festival.
Food, music, friends and merchants will start things
off, but I predict that within a few years Jamestown’s
residents will make it bigger, better and (blame me
if it happens) a little wackier… just for the fun of it.
So how about these?
Festivals are supposed to be like that, right?
Here’s one more idea, maybe just right for our
neighborhood.
• There’s the National Hollerin’ Festival &
Contest, f ’rinstace. Motor on down to Spivey’s
Corner, North Carolina – usual population
49. They’re reviving the lost art of just plain
hollerin’ and it draws 10,000 people every year.
• Or how about a jaunt over to Fruita, Colorado.
You’ll find Mike the Headless Chicken Days, a
festival that honors a bizarre 1945 event when
a Fruita resident’s chicken lived without a head
for 18 months (farmer Lloyd Olsen’s bad aim
with the hatchet while fix’n dinner, they say).
Now that’s a festival!
• Winter lovers (and aren’t we all?) will love
“Frozen Dead Guy Days” one weekend every
March in Nederland, Colo. Grandpa Bredo,
in cryogenic storage awaiting a wakeup call
in some future when doctors can fix him, was
abandoned in his tool shed years ago. Now
they have coffin races, frozen-turkey bowling,
frozen-salmon tosses and more with live music
and lots of beer.
• Consider the annual Festival of Near Death
Experiences in the small town of Las Nieves
in Galicia, Spain. They celebrate people who
have come close to death and lived to tell all
about it. It is B.Y.O.C. -- bring your own coffin.
Did I mention Jamestown winters? This is for
everybody who steps outside in their slippers
and pajamas to get the mail on any wrong day
from October through March.
Please enjoy our own festival down by the river
side, and while you happen to have your copy of the
Jamestown Gazette in your hands, enjoy the read,
too.

Chautauqua Amphitheater
Named One of America’s Most
Endangered Historic Places
Jumping for joy may be an overstatement,
The National Trust for Historic
Preservation has named Chautauqua
Amphitheater in Chautauqua, NY to its
2015 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered
Historic Places. This annual list spotlights
important examples of the nation’s
architectural, cultural and natural heritage
that are at risk of destruction or irreparable
damage. More than 250 sites have been
on the list over its 28-year history, and in
that time, only a handful of listed sites have
been lost.
Chautauqua Amphitheater is a National
Historic Landmark located 70 miles
southwest of Buffalo, N.Y. Known
colloquially as the Amp, the Chautauqua
Amphitheater, which has hosted a wide
range of leaders, activists and artists over
its 122-year history, is threatened by the
Chautauqua Institution’s plan to demolish
the Amp to make way for a replica.
The National Trust has supported the
Chautauqua Institution in the past for
their thoughtful stewardship of this iconic
structure. A coalition of preservation
groups, including the National Trust, is now
calling on the Institution’s distinguished
Board of Trustees to reconsider the need to
replace this unique, storied structure. The
Amp is an authentic and important part
of the Institutions’ history of intellectual
engagement, entertainment and debate.
“The story of the Amp is the story of
America’s political, cultural and spiritual
identity,” said Stephanie Meeks, president
of the National Trust for Historic
Preservation. “Before television, radio
and the internet, America had the Amp
to communicate and share the news,
music and gospel of the day. For well over
a hundred years, it has occupied a special
place in American culture, and we believe
a solution can be found to ensure that it
stands for the next 100 years.”
Chautauqua transformed American life as
the first multi-use retreat in the U.S. that
is an arts colony, music festival, village
square and summer encampment all at
1
Washington
In January, the National Trust added the
Amp to its evolving portfolio of National
Treasures – a collection of threatened
historic
buildings,
neighborhoods,
communities, and landscapes across
the country where the National Trust
is committed to finding a long-term
preservation solution.
Members of the public are invited to learn
more about what they can do to support
these 11 historic places and hundreds
of other endangered sites at www.
PreservationNation.org/places
Follow us on Twitter at @presnation and
join the conversation using the hashtag
#11Most
America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic
Places has identified more than 250
threatened one-of-a-kind historic treasures
since 1988. Whether these sites are urban
districts or rural landscapes, Native
American landmarks or 20th-century
sports arenas, entire communities or single
buildings, the list spotlights historic places
across America that are threatened by
neglect, insufficient funds, inappropriate
development or insensitive public policy.
The designation has been a powerful tool
for raising awareness and rallying resources
to save endangered sites from every region
of the country. At times, that attention has
garnered public support to quickly rescue
a treasured landmark; while in other
instances, it has been the impetus of a long
battle to save an important piece of our
history.

Chautauqua County Government
. . . on the Right Track
Continued from Front Page
There is little doubt that work
on our roads and bridges is a
top concern as we emerge from
our rough winter season. People
want faster road repair on our
county and state roadways. The
good news is that our New York
State representatives have fought
for more highway funding and
more is on the way. County and
State highway workers are on
the job and we will all see better
road conditions within the next
several weeks.
Finally,
shared
services,
consolidations, and regional
approaches to create more
value for the taxpayer dollar
is in every conversation. Our
recent submission to New York
State of a $13 million savings
through a County wide shared
services plan is a great example
of progress. The recent meeting
of the Chautauqua County
Water Agency indicates that we
are nearing formal approval of a
Northern Chautauqua County
Water District that will provide
reliable, high quality water
with savings to all users in the
district while paving the way
for economic development in
Northern Chautauqua County.
The key to our success has
been the bi-partisan approach
to getting things done here in
Chautauqua County. In case you
haven’t noticed, your County
Government is spending time and
energy on the issues at hand and
not the politics of the moment.
That is clearly something we can
truly be proud of.

Commencement Ceremonies: Celebrating Culture, Achievement and New Adventures
Article Contributed by
Julia Eppehimer
They wait offstage with their
friends, nervously trying to keep
their hats in place and fixing their
hair for the plethora of photos
that are about to be taken. They’re
excited; finally their life is their
own. No more paths planned out
for them. No more meetings with
guidance counselors to choose
next year’s schedule. No more
asking mom and dad if it’s ok to
go out with their friends.
No more knowing
tomorrow holds.
what
This period of their lives, which
up till now seems to have taken
up a good deal of their time (it’s
been pretty much their whole
lives) is merely the preface of
where their paths will lead. It is
quite an unsettling thought for
one who has spent his whole
life in one place, always knowing
what comes next.
But in the midst of the uncertainty
and the thrill, there are certain
traditions that graduates can
hold onto. While the world is
full of the unknown and the
unexpected, graduates know that
they are not the first to step off
the platform. Hundreds of years
of college tradition dictates how
this night will run, and reassures
graduates that the world in which
they are entering is not wholly
without certainties.
It began in the middle ages, a
time often thought of as ignorant.
There were many scholars of the
church, however, who studied
and advanced their learning. As
members of the church, many
of them wore long clerical robes,
which also served to keep them
warm in the large, unheated
buildings.
Caps signified the superior
intelligence of the graduates,
which were often red in color
to represent life and blood. The
tassels were originally added
as a decorative feature, but a
new tradition grew out of them.
Today, the soon to be graduates
begin the commencement
ceremony with the tassel on their
right side. After they receive their
diploma, the tassel is moved to
the left.
At the end of the night, graduates
may toss up their caps, since
they won’t need them again.
This tradition began at the 1912
graduation of the Naval Academy.
That year graduates were
commissioned as naval officers
on their day of graduation;
therefore, they received brand
new officers’ hats that day. Since
their graduation caps were about
to be replaced with their officer
hats, they excitedly threw off
their caps and tossed them into
the air.
These are a few of the traditions
Americans fondly employ as
they celebrate the achievements
of their young men and women.
There will soon be parties, cakes,
and pictures sent out to all of the
relatives, and anyone who might
in some way be connected to
the family. Mom might go a little
crazy. But why not? Her child has
spent the last thirteen years hard
at work in school and at home,
and she deserves to do a little
boasting.
Congratulations, graduates. And
congratulations moms, and dads,
grandparents, and everyone else
who was always there to see them
through.

Lutheran Wins Healthiest
Employers’ Award
Members of the Lutheran Wellness Committee celebrate their recognition
as the Western New York Healthiest Employer/Large Division. (Front

Candace Muzza, Senior Housing Accountant.

Jumping for joy may be an overstatement,
however Katrina Jones, Vice President
for Lutheran Human Resources, was full
of excitement when she uncovered the
Golden Apple at the Western New York
Healthiest Employers 2015 banquet.
Finalists in the competition each received
a brown bag containing an apple. The
company representative who drew the
Golden Apple was announced as the 2015
winner. Lutheran won for the large division
based on 250-999 employees.
Lutheran began its Wellness Program to
impact health care costs and to improve
employee health and well-being. “We’ve
been finalists in previous years,” said Jones.
“This year we saw a marked improvement
in our biometric screenings, which
measure overall health, and risks for future
health problems in our employees. Rather
than just track attendance at events, we are
focused on measuring the impact of our
Wellness activities over time.”
Lutheran was honored for its innovative
“Try It. Like It. Do It” activities that are
often lead by employees with expertise
in such things as kayaking, Zumba,
hiking, or just being a kid again with hula
hooping and jumping rope. The year-long
programming offers a variety of education
sessions, as well as weight management
and fitness contests.
Employers who offer a Wellness Program
are leading the way in reducing employee
turnover, helping employees reduce stress
and absenteeism and creating a fun work
environment. “Studies show that if an
employee has a good friend at work, they
are more likely to stay with a company,”
Jones said. “Our Wellness activities
promote friendship and fun, and good
health across all of our departments.”
Lutheran has also seen results with
employees who have changed to a
healthier lifestyle based on their results.
“Ideally we would like every employee to
have a primary care provider,” Jones added.
“However, that is not always the case. So
these screenings can detect health concerns
before they become major issues.”
Healthiest Employers, LLC is the “data”
engine behind the National Healthiest
Employers awards. Its mission is to
recognize corporate wellness leaders.
There are over 40 awards’ programs. They
provide unbiased wellness information
to employers, wellness companies and
insurers/brokers. Each applicant is asked
75 questions evaluating the effectiveness
of the workplace wellness initiative to give
them an index rating. Then they use an
encrypted platform to rank the employers
by size and then by their index.
Lutheran, with its main campus at 715
Falconer Street in Jamestown, serves
youth with special needs through G.A.
Family Services; healthy adults over
age 55 in Senior Housing; older adults
in need of assisted living, rehabilitative
services and skilled nursing; and adults
with developmental disabilities. More
information is available on the website at

DOWN TO EARTH with JOANNE TANNER
Japanese Maples
Article Contributed by
Joanne Tanner
I recently attended an informative class on
Japanese Maples at a local garden center.
I did so because I would like to grow a
Japanese Maple in a large container and
wanted to know a little more about these
trees properly called “Acer Palmatum”.
The name includes hundreds of named
cultivars with countless forms and colors
ranging from white to green to reds. They
come in many leaf types and sizes. Japanese
Maples have been cultivated in Japan
for centuries. With shapes ranging from
Bonsai-looking to a straight shaped tree,
they are a beautiful and popular addition
to the landscape.
Popular varieties include:
‘Blood Good’ grows 15 feet tall with a
15 foot wide canopy, a brilliant scarlet
red leafed tree. This one is so spectacular
it could add thousands of dollars to the
value of your home. But do also think
about winter interest with these trees and
explore the many varieties with red, yellow
or orange bark.
Coral Bark- ‘sangokaku’ is a beautiful
tree (15 to 20 feet tall) that has brilliant
coral bark on young branches. The color
intensifies in winter. Its deeply cut light
green leaves display attractive margins
and turns golden in the fall. Or try
‘Winter Flame’ a rare variety. It is a dwarf
‘sangokaku’ growing only 8 to 10 feet tall
and great for a ‘Bonsai’ looking specimen.
‘Bihou’ is in this coral group and widely
sought after. Its chartreuse leaves appear
edged in red before turning green for
summer. The bark turns a yellow orange in
winter and seems to glow.
My favorites are the lace leaf varieties that
come in leaf colors of deep purple, reds or
greens. ‘Red dragon’ would be a nice choice
for growing in a container or rock garden.
Growing tips: Japanese maples are less
fuss to grow than you think. The most
important tip is to choose trees that have
been grafted onto ‘green Japanese root
stock’ verses from seed. You pay a good
price for these but they are a stronger tree
and can get through a winter like we had
with seven feet of snow. When grafted,
they do not need to be sheltered and can
grow in full sun.
The instructor in the class I attended,
recommended growing in ‘Stay Green soil’
(available at Loews) or a soil mix called
‘FAFARD3B’ for best results. Insect pests
for Japanese maples are the Japanese beetle.
For Further reading and reference a good
book to purchase is “Japanese Maple” by JD
Vertrees.

What I love about Angola:
I was born and raised in Angola and despite not knowing
anywhere else in the world I don’t mind, since there are so
many reasons why I like the place. It may be small, but the
comfortable familiarity of the simple and quiet things in life is
a lure. The closeness of the beach and
abundant nature around every corner
is something I associate with home now.
Even though it’s a little town it has a couple
things to offer; a theater, a book store and
if you don’t mind traveling down a bit, a lot
of home style diners nearby. While I know
my life may be changing, I have a bit of
hope not to leave.
Reading Camp Seeks
Community Support
Article Contributed by
Squirrel Hill Consulting
The “Children of the Book” Reading Camp,
an initiative of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church,
will be held this summer from June 29July 25th. Intended to promote Literacy
Skills for approximately 35 Love School
Elementary Students entering third,
fourth, or fifth grade, the half-day camp is a
volunteer-based program that will connect
the students with the community through
weekly-themed units and partner reading.
The camp is designed to inspire students
and parents to read together every day,
to enhance their literacy skills and to
celebrate the life of our community. The
program’s mission is to provide positive
family-focused literacy instruction to
children who are below grade level or are
at risk of falling below grade level during
the summer recess. It operates on the
belief that learners who are exposed to
a variety of opportunities and positive
reinforcement improve both their reading
levels and foster a life-long love of reading
and education. Parents of students who
participate in the camp will also be offered
instruction in ways to increase the literacy
of their home.
The camp will be led by certified teachers
and lay professionals from St Luke’s parish
and supported by other community
leaders. The Rev. Luke Fodor, Rector at St.
Luke’s, explains the program’s inception.
“As a ‘city church’ our church is looking
for new and innovative ways to serve the
local community. My children attend Love
School and through our own experiences
with the school it became apparent that
there was a need that we could fill there.
We have a strong and vibrant children’s
program here at St. Luke’s and many of
our parishioners are educators who are
interested in children’s literacy.” Camp
Director Susan Schrader, a Special
Education/ESL teacher at Jefferson
Middle School adds, “As teachers in the
system, we were aware that the Public
Schools are no longer able to fund summer
reading programs as they had in the past.
My colleagues and I know that all young
people experience learning losses when
they do not engage in educational activities
during the summer, and this camp is a way
that we can help.”
Organizers are looking for volunteers
to help in many ways, including Partner
Readers, Meal Servers and Special
Presenters. Volunteers can offer their time
on a daily, weekly or program-long basis.
Volunteer orientation will be held at St.
Luke’s on Tuesday, June 23rd from 5:00 to
6:30pm.
A fundraiser for the camp will be held at
Brazil Craft Beer and Wine Lounge, 10
East 4th Street, Jamestown, on Thursday,
June 25th starting at 5pm. 25% of all sales
from the evening will be donated to help
provide books for the students to take
home at the end of the program. There will
also be complimentary appetizers from 5-8
that night as well as raffles and drawings.
Other sponsors of the program include;
Chautauqua Alcohol and Substance
Abuse Council (CASAC), Chautauqua
Opportunities, James Prendergast Library,
Jamestown Noon Rotary (Monday),
Jamestown Morning Rotary (Wednesday),
Lutheran Social Services (Foster
Grandparent Program), MOVE: Dance
and Fitness, Planet Earth Catering, St.
Luke’s Thrift Store.

Great Jamestown
RiverWalk Festival
Continued from Front Page
everything together.”
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.”
Rain or shine, they will be
downtown promoting the best
of Jamestown on Sunday. And
there will be plenty to do, all day
long. Before the event begins, AM
Rotary is sponsoring a race, which
will raise money to further fund
the riverwalk construction.
After the race, the booths will
open at 10 a.m. and remain opened
until 5 p.m. There will be multiple
artists and crafters, including
several photographers, jewelry
makers, and a vendor who takes
used clothing and turns them into
new designs.
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, Chautauqua
Watershed
Conservancy,
Chautauqua County Healthy
Network, Grow Jamestown, and
the Fenton History Museum will all
be on site to provide information
and learning opportunities.
“Music wise, there will be
about 12-14 students from the
Infinity Music Program scattered
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 and
the Sauce Off, which are both in
their fourth years. “Hopefully this
one is a good one like the other
ones and this will be 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.
Jamestown Now aims to have four
events each year, one for each
season. “Sooner or later we’ll
come up with the right winter
event, and then we’ll have one for
every season,” Dykeman smiled.
Ironically, the organization was
first formed in the winter and
started to plan a winter event. But
that year there was no snow.
Thankfully, there will be no snow
at this event on Sunday, either, but
there will be plenty to do. “This is
a great family event. The riverwalk
is so beautiful; they can bring the
kids down, spend the afternoon
there,” Dykeman said.
Because of a few people who
cared about Jamestown and came
together to promote it, the city
now has three exciting events
throughout the year, and hopefully
a fourth. When some people put
in a little effort, the community
becomes a better place to live.
More information about the
event can be found on the
Facebook page: The Great
Jamestown RiverWalk Festival. To

CHERRY CREEK

Cherry Creek
200th Anniversary
Celebration
Article Contributed by
Julia Eppehimer
Not many people get to attend a 200th
birthday party. But for the folks in Cherry
Creek and all of the surrounding areas,
there will be celebrations all year long to
commemorate the 200 years since their
first settler in 1815. This weekend will be
a big party, with a car show Friday night,
a parade and fireworks on Saturday, and a
worship service Sunday morning.
The main event is the Independence
Parade, which starts at 1 p.m. on Saturday,
June 27. Cherry Creek has always held
their Fourth of July Parade a weekend
early, so as not to compete with the other
big parades around. But this year their
parade will have a historical theme.
“We’re having the big historical parade;
everybody that’s in it has been asked to do
a history related float,” Sharon Sweeting,
Cherry Creek Town Historian explained.
“We’re having more music than we’ve
ever had before. We also have an alumni
band…headed by a former band director
at Pine Valley. And this year there will be
horses to commemorate our horse past.”
Following the parade will be a chicken
barbeque and a carnival of rides, booths
and music in the park. The activities that
will be showcased also have a historical
theme. “We have a weaver, we have a
well-driller…all these ‘old-time’ things
that were important in 1815,” Sweeting
said. “One of them is not so ‘old-time,’
but it’s intriguing,” she smiled. “We have
a chainsaw sculptor.”
There will be a puppet team performance,
bubble mania, rides by Titan
Entertainment and Little Mr. and Miss
Cherry Creek. At the end of the evening
will be a Shawn Patrick McGraw concert,
sponsored by Ever Power. The concert
goes from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and ends just
in time for the firework show at 10.
In addition to the day long activities on
Saturday, there will be a classic car cruise
in at the ballpark on Friday from 6 p.m. to
8 p.m. Registration begins at 5 p.m. and
this event is also followed by music, with
a concert by Giva V and Bill Smith from
8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. is the
community worship service in the ball
park pavilion.
This event is one of four that are being
held throughout the year. In February
they held a fundraiser auction at the
Trillium Lodge to raise money for the
other festivities. August 29 they are
hosting a town picnic at the Cherry
Creek Inn. There will be ‘old-time’ games
and music. It will be Cherry Creek’s first
town picnic since 1902.
October 18, to celebrate the Amish
culture in the area, the Cherry Creek Inn
hosts an Amish style meal and a lecture
presentation to learn more about the
Amish lifestyle.
All of these events stemmed from
Sweeting’s passion to help the local
teenagers understand and appreciate
their heritage. “They have no pride of
community. They know nothing about
the history. They don’t teach local history
in the schools here anymore,” Sweeting
said despondently. “All they see are the
bad things about it.”
It was then that the town supervisor
discovered a grant from the Northern
Chautauqua Community Association
called the Community Pride Grant.
The town applied for the grant and was
awarded some money that funded the
“Cherry Creek 1815” banners that now
hang in downtown.
Howard Lime Service
From there, the ideas snowballed.
Sweeting approached the town officials
with the idea of a 200th anniversary
party, and people became excited. “Now
it’s totally out of my hands,” Sweeting
said. “It’s taken off! And it’s so fabulous
that people are interested in it.”

Just like when it was founded, Cherry
Creek is known as a farming community.
The soil is fertile, and much of the area
has black muck dirt, perfect for farming.
That was the original reason that Joseph
Kent stopped here on his way across New
York in 1815.
He found good land, so he built the area’s
first log cabin and moved in his wife and
FIVE children. But when they didn’t have
enough provisions to keep themselves
fed, he and his sons took some of the
crops they had grown, and floated down
the river to Pittsburgh. Thus began years
of a trading relationship with the city
that helped to develop the community of
Cherry Creek.
Two hundred years later, they still
produce those first crops of fertilizer and
maple products. It is a proud tradition
that deserves to be recognized. Come
out and join in the fun this weekend,
and throughout the year. For more

When Independence Day weekend rolls
around this summer, thousands of friends
and families will reunite for an annual
celebration of music and dance that has
come to symbolize American tradition to
them in the same way as baseball and apple
pie. With lawn chairs, coolers and camping
gear in tow, adults and children of all ages
head out to the rolling hills of southern
Chautauqua County for the three-day
musical extravaganza known as the Great
Blue Heron Festival.
The event serves up music all weekend
long on three stages that showcase
a well-curated mix of hard-working
and passionate musicians, with each
contributing a unique flavor ranging from
rock and reggae to bluegrass and old-time.
While music is always the main course,
the Heron’s 300+ acres include all of the
essential amenities for a weekend getaway
– open and wooded campsites, a spring-fed
pond with a supervised beach, and miles of
forested trails for hiking and biking.
While the annual lineup of national and
regional performers continues to evolve,
many of the crowd favorites remain the
same. Sugar Hill recording artists Donna
the Buffalo and their highly contagious
brand of danceable Americana rock have
been a hallmark of the event since the
beginning. Also back by popular demand
are Yep Roc recording artists and legendary
surf rock purveyors Los Straitjackets,
Vancouver Celt-rebels the Town Pants,
Binghamton’s acoustic rockers Driftwood,
Ithaca’s electro-rockers Jimkata, and
Chautauqua County’s own Big Leg Emma
and Smackdab.
Among the touring acts making their
debut at this year’s event are brass-powered
Afrobeat collective Big Mean Sound
Machine, country rocker and Nashville
Star semi-finalist Sean Patrick McGraw,
and the high-energy string band swing of
Jakob’s Ferry Stragglers.
In addition to live performance, the
schedule includes instrument workshops,
drum circles, zydeco and square dances,
and a broad roster of activities for both
children and teens. The vibrant festival
midway offers a wide variety of food and
drink, as well as clothing, jewelry, musical
instruments, and other unique artisan gifts.
As the festival approaches their silver
anniversary, the core principles of the
event remain the same – to showcase
a diverse blend of original music from
national and regional performers, to create
a magical space where festival-goers can
interact with the artists and each other,
and to foster a positive environment that
ensures a safe and satisfying experience.
Weekend passes are $70 through May 6, $80
after May 6, and $90 at the gate. Daily tickets
are available at the gate only: $40 for Friday
or Saturday and $30 for Sunday. Youth (ages
12-15) are $40 for the weekend. Children
under 12 are free. Ticket outlets include the
Reg Lenna and Trinity Guitars in Jamestown,
Terrapin Trading in Buffalo, and the
Grasshopper in Erie. For more information on
parking/camping and to order tickets online,

PIECES OF THE PAST with PATRICIA PIHL
Tackling a Scourge….
Cassadaga’s Newton Memorial Hospital
From 1919 to 1958, Newton Memorial
Hospital treated adults and children at its
hilltop location overlooking Cassadaga
Lake with the only known treatments for
tuberculosis - bed rest, good nutrition,
fresh air and sun exposure.
Mandates required counties across the
state to build sanitaria to treat the growing
numbers afflicted with the disease.
Newton, however, stands out due to the
significant contributions of Dr. Walter
Rathbun, a pioneer who endorsed the use
of x-ray machines for early diagnosis and
treatment.
A medical graduate of Yale University,
Rathbun started working at Newton in
1922. Previously, he observed that World
War I soldiers - many seemingly healthy
men – tested positive for tuberculosis
without having any of the disease’s
characteristic symptoms, including fever,
coughing and weakness. The disease, also
known as consumption and the white
plague, would not be under control until
the discovery of streptomycin in the 1940s.
Rathbun would become a strong advocate
for the use of the newest technology,
the portable x-ray machine, for use in
local schools to spot the cloudy masses
indicating the disease.
Due to his diligence, Chautauqua County
historian Michelle Henry says, “every
single child in school received an chest
x-ray, which not only identified kids who
were underdeveloped, but also those who
were healthy who contracted the disease.”
This was critical because when children
contracted
non-life
threatening
tuberculosis, the disease would leave
scarring in their lungs which predisposed
them to developing full-blown pulmonary

tuberculosis as adults.
Henry notes that in 1928, Newton would
become the largest children’s summer
camp in the state. Ten children’s cabins
were built at the site with the help of private
donations. “It just shows how people were
personally affected by TB,” says Henry,
noting that $150,000 was donated by
Elizabeth Newton of Fredonia to build the
hospital when she died in 1909. Newton’s
son, Harry, was a doctor who died from the
disease at age 24.
According to the county historian,
admission to Newton and disease testing
was voluntary, although not everyone
sought treatment or testing. She adds that
there was no indication from Rathbun’s
reports that quarantine was required for
TB patients and people could leave the
hospital voluntarily. Clinics also existed in
Jamestown and Dunkirk, but many weren’t
tested, Henry says, because of the stigma
associated with the disease.
Newton’s admissions increased from 40
patients to full capacity at 82 –with Dr.
Rathbun’s advocacy - before eventually
closing in 1958.
Henry says after the hospital closed,
medical records were handed over to the
department of health, and were probably
destroyed during a huge purge during the
1950s. Census figures from decades when
the hospital was in operation may give
some insight into its patients who were
there, however.

St. John Lutheran Church Amherst, NY
There is one church.
I know it doesn’t always seem that way.
Sometimes it seems like there are many
churches. It looks like the one church has
been divided into many different bodies.
We drive through Jamestown and see
Lutheran and Methodist, Catholic and
Protestant, Evangelical and Pentecostal,
and we’re tempted to believe that there
are lots of churches out there. But that’s
not true.
There is one church and it is the church of
Jesus Christ.
And so, what happened in Charleston,
SC - the deadly shooting of a pastor
and eight parishioners attending a Bible
study at their church - did not happen to
a church or some church, it happened to
our church. It happened to The Church
to which we belong. It happened to Jesus’
church, the one church of which we are
all members.
The pastor that was slain was a pastor
in our church. The disciples, who were
murdered while exercising their faith,
were our brothers and sisters in Christ.
This heinous act cannot just be the latest
in a series of unfortunate events. Rather,
there has to be some sort of Christian
response. That response should not just
come from African American Christians
or Christians in South Carolina. What is
called for now, is a response from the one
church. It is time for us to set aside that
which divides, and stand together against
racism and all other forms of hate.
I hope you’ll join me in prayer for the
families of the victims, the congregation,
the community, and the AME
denomination of our church.
I hope you’ll join me in prayer that justice
and peace can become hallmarks of our
congregations, communities and country.
I hope you’ll join me in prayer that the
one church can get over itself and work
together for the common good of all.
And after that, I hope you’ll join me in
living a life of love that reflects the love
we have received. We won’t be perfect,
but we can do a lot better and we can do
a lot more.
There is one church. It belongs to Jesus.
What do you think he would have us do?
In The Way, Pastor Scott Hannon
On a personal note...
Clementa Pinckney, the pastor and state
senator who was killed, attended Southern
Seminary at the same time I did. He was
a great man. He was kind and gentle, but
spoke with amazing power and authority.
When my class was asked who we wanted to
speak at our graduation (traditionally, the
Bishop, a theologian, current Biblical author
or speaker), we selected Clementa.
Often times, tragedies like this seem like far
off things that happen to
far away people. And that’s sort of true.
Until it isn’t.

SPORTS with BILL BURK
SPORTS with CODY CRANDALL
1972 Olympic Basketball
Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
A buzzer blasts from an overheard
scoreboard. A thousand of inhaled
breaths explode in a hailstorm. It’s
safe now, everybody breathe…going
to be okay, your sporting world has
been restored. On the floor, the
youngest team ever assembled to
represent the United States in an
Olympic basketball tournament
celebrates, glorious in victory,
relieved of their burden. We did it,
they say, we represented! Despite our
coach, and his slow-down, defensefirst philosophy we won. It was close
-too close- and had we pushed the
issue, had we run up and down the
court with energy and purpose, we
wouldn’t have needed those two
pressure-packed free throws with
three seconds left on the clock with
the Bears from Russia staring and
panting and making hopeless faces.
Had we done what we do best as
Americans, had we sprinted and
leapt and improvised with the energy
and confidence (and, yes arrogance)
of a country still building a world,
we wouldn’t have needed those
free throws to win this game (this
microcosm of the Cold War, this
vindication of systems of life both
athletic and political, as fair or unfair
as that may be). As USA guard Tom
Henderson said, “We should have
ran, and we’d have ran them back
to Russia.” But we did get the free
throws, and we did win.
This was that horrible 1972
Olympics, that epic tragedy in
Munich when the games ground
to a mind-numbing halt as eleven
members of the Israeli Olympic team
were murdered by Arab terrorists
putting the games on hold for
nearly two days. When competition
resumed, so did USA basketball,
defeating Italy to advance to the
gold medal game and extending their
Olympic winning streak to 63 games.
The Americans were the favorites,
sure, under the strict, ornery stare of
legendary Oklahoma State dictator
Hank Iba, he of the suffocating
defense and half-court sets. No
American team had ever lost in men’s
basketball in Olympic play, winning
seven gold medals dating back to
1936. The bigger, more experienced
Soviets weren’t typical underdogs,
well-seasoned and well coached.
“They had a great team,” said U.S.
assistant coach John Bach. “Their
team, it was reported, played almost
400 games together – 400 games. We
had played 12 exhibition games and
the trials.” And there was that Cold

Ah, another summer of baseball
at the historic Diethrick Park. It
might not be the Jammers we are
all used to, but these Jammers
certainly play hard and pack a
punch at the dish.
At the time of this writing,
the Jamestown Jammers find
themselves at the top of the
East Division in the Prospect
League. The Prospect League
is a collegiate, wood bat league.
According to the league’s website,
the purpose of the league is
to provide family friendly,
affordable baseball entertainment
in the communities where our
teams are located, to provide a
summer baseball program for
eligible college players to give
them experience using a wood
bat in a competitive atmosphere,
and to provide a venue to allow
MLB Scouts to watch collegiate
prospects using wood bats against
live pitching in competition.
In the recent MLB First Year
Players Draft, 31 players who
currently play in the Prospect
League were drafted. That should
show you that the talent level
Even though the old Jammers
are gone, there is some high
quality baseball finding a home
at Diethrick Park. These kids are
competitive, strong, and they can
do some amazing things on the
field. Come out down to the park
to watch them in action, you will
not regret it.
The Jammers will open up
a four game home stand
Tuesday, June 23rd against the
Chillicothe Paints. For tickets,
visit jamestownbaseball.com, or
stop by the front office at 485
Falconer Street in Jamestown.
For any more information on
the Jammers, like the team on
Facebook, follow the team on
Twitter (@jtownJammers), or

War thing.
No matter, there was team USA on
the floor celebrating, game over. Well
not quite. The game-horn was blown
four times in the last three seconds
of that Olympic championship game.
The scoreboard read USA 50, USSR
49 after three of them. The problem
was that it read USSR 51, USA after
the fourth. Here’s what happened
(see if you can follow it):
With three seconds on the clock
Collins is in the middle of shooting
his second, game-winning free
throw, when the horn sounds for
no particular reason (horn #1).
International rules say you can’t call
a time out after a made second free
throw, so team USA thinks maybe
time has miraculously expired and
the game is over. The officials realize
this isn’t the case and continue play.
The Soviets inbound and get the
ball to half court, stopping the clock
with one second left. The Russian
coaching staff charges the scorer’s
table, insisting they had tried to get
a time out BEFORE the second free
throw by Collins. Officials rule that
play will resume from the point when
the Soviet coaches disrupted the
game, with one second remaining
on the clock. The Soviets miss their
attempt, game over (horn #2). But
FIBA Secretary General Renato
William Jones comes down from the
stands and insists play re-start from
the point of Collins’ made free throw,
with three seconds remaining ( Jones,
by his own admission, after the fact,
had no authority to make rulings on
a game in progress). Okay, whatever,
celebration postponed. Play resumes
from that point, and the Soviets miss
another last-second attempt (horn
#3), and the game is FINALLY over,
let the party begin. But, as Lee Corso
might say, “Not so fast.”
As it turns out, the referees allowed
play to resume before the scorer’s
table had finished re-setting the
clock; the game clock still showed
50 seconds when the “final” play was
completed. So what, right? Manually
count three second of the play and
end the game. Instead, a decision
was made to re-play the final three
second again.
Aleksandr Belov catches Ivan
Edeshko’s pass as two American
defenders stumble and Belov hits
the game-winning layup. And there’s
your fateful horn #4. Final score
USSR 51, USA 50.
The
American
team
voted
unanimously not to attend the medal
ceremony or accept the medals
themselves; some have even written
that protest into their wills.

years of service.

Jamestown Public Schools’ Board of
Education honored one of their own
during a recent Board meeting. Laurel
Lucas, who will be leaving the Board at the
end of June, was honored for her 13 years
of service. Mrs. Lucas was given a plaque
recognizing her service and a watch from
her fellow board members.
Thanks to a grant from the Chautauqua
Region Community Foundation’s Fund
for the Region, CBA Vision Rehabilitation
Services (Chautauqua Blind Association)
was able to update every light fixture in
the office. According to the CBA staff,
lighting can make a critical difference to
people with deteriorating vision. As more
and more ceiling light fixtures refused to
illuminate, our office began to look like a
great example of “how not to light your
house to accommodate your declining
vision”. Today though, CBA is once again
demonstrating the proper use of lighting
and the importance of brightness to allow
for good visibility and mobility.
“Laurel is such a treasure for Jamestown
and its community,” said JPS Board of
Education President, Joe DiMaio. “She is
a true Red Raider and a great supporter of
Jamestown Schools. She has given so much
back to her community and we thank her
for all of her dedication and hard work over
the years to the school district.”
According to the CRCF, a gift to the
Fund for the Region Campaign provides
the broadest range of support for the
community’s well-being. For more
information on the Fund for the Region

“There are also good times and difficult
times but I have loved serving on the
Board,” said Mrs. Lucas. “We are so
fortunate to have a good administration
staff, principals, teachers, paraprofessionals
and support staff in this district. I know
that our kids are in good hands. I thank
