“We want to have a Chautauqua style
discussion where everybody has all the
information and can make a
good decision from there,”
George Murphy, Vice President
and Chief Marketing Officer
for Chautauqua Institution told
an interviewer recently.
Murphy
was
answering
questions about the controversy
over the proposed renovation
or replacement of the legendary
and historic Amphitheater at
the center of the Institution’s
grounds. The Amphitheater
project has drawn both fire and
praise from many.

reflected
that
no
controversy can be settled without looking
at both sides, an especially difficult exercise
once opinions have become polarized.
A recent pre-season visit to the grounds
revealed apparently reasonable opinions on
both sides of the issue.

Amphitheater reconstruction.
Voices to be Heard
A series of informational sessions will be
held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
through the first six weeks of the season at
Chautauqua Institution for participants to
hear in-depth discussions of the challenges
and plans involved in the project, to
ask questions, voice opinions and
register their approval or disapproval
based on that information. Guests are
also invited to tour the facilities as
part of these opportunities to see the
physical problems and opportunities
inherent to the project.
Members of the administration and
the production and artistic staff who
use the Amphitheater will also be
on hand to discuss their experiences
and needs in the production of live
entertainment.

Only Your Opinion?
There’s nothing “Only” about it. It is your
opinion and you have a right to it. Right?
The trouble is that too often we act like a feeling
is the same as an opinion. That is one of the most
dangerous mistakes a person can make. Opinions
take thought to form and feelings have no IQ at
all.
Feelings are important, even vital, but people
who try to think with their feelings often make
terrible decisions. Feelings have to be put under
your “thinking cap” along with actual facts in
order to form a real, useful opinion.
The word opinion comes from the ancient Latin,
opinor, which means I think…most definitely
not I feel. If somebody asks for your opinion, be
careful if you hear yourself say, “Well, here’s how
I feel about that…”
Without facts to back them up, opinions are as
counterfeit as money without the government to
back it up.
There is another word for opinions formed from
feelings alone, according to 20th century writer,
E. B. White. He said, “Prejudice is a great time
saver. You can form opinions without having to
get the facts.”
That’s the trouble with jumping on crowded
opinion bandwagons driven by popular, even
respected people. I’d rather borrow your
toothbrush than your opinion… if I haven’t done
all the looking under rocks, all the delving into
corners and lots of thinking-about-it for myself.
Respect your opinion enough to earn your own.
An opinion based on peer pressure is a ticket to
ride on the Dummy Line. Albert Einstein once
said, “Few people are capable of expressing with
poise opinions which differ from the prejudices
of their social environment. Most people are
even incapable of forming such opinions.”
But maybe that’s too harsh. We have to go
someplace to get our facts and that’s often to the
experts who know more than we do. Respecting
their opinions is wise, it’s just not enough.
You can’t be an expert in everything, but you can
become knowledgeable for yourself if something
is important enough to have an opinion on. That
takes work, but when is the last time you learned
something new, fascinating and useful and didn’t
feel good about it? The world is our very own
“brain gym.” Enjoy the workout.
So this week your Jamestown Gazette invites
you to Chautauqua Institution, not just to read
other people’s opinions about it, but to take a
trip for yourself. It’s an especially wonderful and
charming place to visit before the ticket booth
opens later this month.
A controversy is brewing there over the difference
between an old building and a new one. It
gets exciting when you realize tens of millions
of dollars are at stake and a perfect storm is
brewing over opinions, feelings and “authorities”
wrangling over the matter.
Our front page this week offers what we hope is
a balanced sampling of some facts and thoughtful
opinions on both sides which we gathered right
on site. We haven’t “picked a side” for ourselves.
We only want to whet your appetite enough to
tempt you into taking a look for yourself.
If you go, enjoy the tour. And today, enjoy the
read.

Extensive roof and support repairs under way due to winter snow collapse
of the northwest corner of the Amphitheater.
The Amphitheater was built in 1883
when the Institution itself was not yet 10
years old. “A lot of the features of the old
building cannot pass today’s building
codes,” according to Bill Flanders, a long
time Chautauqua resident, engineer
and builder whose family business was
instrumental in constructing many of
the Institution’s buildings over the years.
“There’s not as much of the original
Amphitheater left as some people may
think, considering the years of repairs
and modifications that have gone into
it,” he added. This view stands behind
the many who favor demolition.
Opponents of the old Amphitheater’s
demolition, however, counter that the
Institution’s plan will obliterate nearly
“…every character-defining element of
the structure,” a recognized National
Historic Landmark.
According to Brian Berg, chair of the
Committee to Preserve the Historic
Chautauqua Amphitheater, and the
National Treasures website (savingplaces.
org/amp), the Chautauqua Institution
administration has admitted to planning
demolition rather that their originally
stated “rehabilitation.” The website
states “…the Amp is certainly in need
of some upgrades and improvements
today. All buildings need to be cared
for and maintained over time” and with
“…careful stewardship, the Amp is still
very much a historic structure worthy of
preservation for future generations.”
Looking Ahead or Backward?
According to one Chautauqua property
owner who started coming to the
Institution 60 years ago as a youngster
with her family (who preferred not
to be named), “the founders of this
place were forward thinkers. They
were revolutionaries, not historic
preservationists. Doing ‘the new thing’
is in Chautauqua Institution’s DNA.
A 132-year-old building doesn’t make
sense with 21st Century technology
and a new century’s opportunities. We
weren’t meant to live in the past here.”
This view is consistent with the
Institution’s Study Group Report which
states, “The current structure has
many challenges because of age, size,
configuration, and the demands of
presenting a 21st century program in
a 19th century building.” See ciweb.
org/amp-report for more.
Historians note that the Institution
was founded as the Chautauqua
Lake Sunday School Assembly in
1874 to experiment in outside-ofschool, vacation-time education.
Quickly expanded to provide
teacher training and music, art,
philosophy and science, it became
the 19th Century version of “Viral”,
within only a few years spawning
hundreds of “Chautauquas” across
the nation, some of which still exist
today. Change and forward thinking,
according to many Chautauquans,
are the Institution’s most important
“historic landmarks” to preserve, not
buildings.
Nevertheless, according to savingplaces.
org, “The Institution’s own survey
shows that the architectural
history of the Amp was
the most important
feature in defining
the
Amphitheater
experience
among
respondents.
Additionally, 93% of respondents
indicated that the current Amp
adequately
accommodates
the
Institution’s programming, while 31%
felt that the Amp meets those needs
perfectly.”
According to Bill Flanders, “People here
feel they ‘own’ the Institution, in a way.
They have invested so many years and
dollars in it that their sense of ownership
and loyalty entitles them to a voice in
what happens here.”
Practical Matters
A recent visit to the Amphitheater
revealed repairs underway on a section
of the Amphitheater roof that had
collapsed under the weight of the 201415 winter snow. “Here’s the new beam,”
a construction worker said, indicating a
massive wooden beam and supporting

structures under a large new section of
roof. “The old one was rotted right out.
Lucky thing more didn’t come down this
year.”
“The back stage is abysmal, really,”
said a member of the Chautauqua
arts community describing the
behind the scenes facilities
that greet performers,
whether they are
Chautauqua’s own
performers or guests
stars and groups. It
was
also noted
that the back
stage loading
area, having been designed for 19th
century horses and freight is inadequate
and even inaccessible for 21st century
semis and heavy stage equipment.
Demo or Rehab?
The question most often voiced is
whether demolition or rehabilitation is
more appropriate.
“In the past, the changes that were
made to update and improve the
Amp were done incrementally and
with great respect to the historic
character and integrity of the original
design,” according to savingplaces.org.
Presumably, the 21st century upgrades
could be accomplished once again by
rehabilitating the existing structure
while maintaining its original character.
One Chautauquan asked, “Do we really
need to spend $33 million for a brand
new building that will only be used for
nine weeks every year?”
“Will the old Amphitheater really last
another 130 years, no matter how well
we care for it? An old building cobbled
out of a patchwork of fixes, repairs and
modifications just isn’t good enough,”
a senior member of the Chautauqua
Institution administration countered.
“We simply have to start from the ground
up to make it right. And shouldn’t we
offer our patrons and guests the kind
of safety, convenience, comfort and
theatrical experience that are simply
beyond the old building traditions
and out dated codes to provide?” The
new building is designed to retain the
“outdoor” experience and much of
the feel of the original architecture,
according to the architects developing
the project.
The 2011 Study Group Report provided,
“…a conceptual estimate of construction
costs showing a range from $19 million
to $21 million.” In 2015, a price tag of
$33 million is circulating and many
wonder if “project creep” can be far
behind.
Final Answer?
Whether the final answer will be based
on sentimental attachment to an historic
and noble structure, a forward looking
drive to a finer future or simply on
economic considerations, Chautauqua
Institution is poised to stop, look and
listen to all sides this summer with an
eye toward a final decision slated for
mid-August, 2015. Opinions on all sides
seem firm but few claim the final answer
will be simple to arrive at.

Last week I took out the garbage…

somebody’s garbage can that nearly took out
my front bumper. Garbage men work hard, so why
is it so hard for home owners to take in their empty cans
in the morning? Why not just leave it on the curb all day so the

Ring Elementary School students, Aubrey Bay,
Ariel Collazo, Arielle Norman, Alexander Pashkow and
Lillian Stormont, waved their flags during the school’s Walk for
Roadrunner Pride.
Jamestown Public Schools
Ring Elementary School recently held
its 4th Annual Roadrunner Pride Walk
to Washington Middle School as a
culminating event that raised over $3,000
for the general Ring PTA fund.
Contributing Writer
Pastor Scott Hannon
St. John Lutheran Church, Amherst, NY
I love water. As a child
I spent summers playing in the creeks at
Allegany State Park and swimming in the
lake at my family’s cottage. In high school
and college I worked as a lifeguard and
swim instructor. Even now, I love to water
ski and go tubing with Molly (note: I am
officially retired from tubing by myself,
too many unfriendly drivers over the
years).
I think water is awesome… but it also
scares me half to death.
There isn’t a moment when I am on the
water with my family that I am not a
little bit afraid. When my daughters are
swimming in pools or open water, or even
just taking a bath, I am filled with anxiety.
I love driving by rivers and creeks, but
they also strike me as a bit ominous. I try
to get on the Niagara River as much as
possible, but there’s never a time I don’t
think about where it eventually ends up.
Water is great, but it is also a powerful and
dangerous thing.
Since I was a child, I have been fascinated
by the water stories in scripture…
the chaotic waters of creation…
the parting of the Red Sea…
the flood that drowned mankind…
the stormy sea that Jesus calmed in in the
gospels…
leads to death.
Out of control water
In control water leads to life.
In creation, God’s Spirit rushes over the
waters to create life. In Exodus, God parts
the sea so the Israelites can be saved.
Through the flood God delivers Noah
and his family. Jesus calms the storm
before the disciples’ boat is capsized and
later walks on water to meet them in the
midst of chaos.
For the most part, water is out of our
control. Sure, we can harness a river’s
current for power, treat lake water for
drinking, and create reservoirs for supply,
but we still find ourselves victims of
droughts, floods and storms – and that is
downright scary! However, water is not
out of God’s jurisdiction and the One
who created, parted, flooded, and calmed
remains in control.
So, what’s the point? Well, my guess
is you’ll come across water today –
brushing your teeth, taking a shower,
driving around, eating a meal, etc. When
you do, take a moment to give thanks
for in control water that leads to life.
Remember your baptism. Reflect on the
wonderful, yet dangerous, realities water
brings. Dip your thumb in the water and
trace a cross on your forehead. Water is
not out of God’s control and God uses it
to call, claim and cleanse you.
the sea Jesus walked on in the middle of
the night…
I’ve wrestled, struggled, read and reread
these stories a thousand times now. Each
time I read I come away with a fresh take
on God’s action in the world, but here is
the one takeaway I always have:

Ring Elementary School students worked
for four weeks to raise the money to support
the PTA. Funds are used to provide: Fun
Nights, lamination, bussing to The Safety
Village, playground renovations, as well as
many other miscellaneous activities and
supplies for the students and staff at Ring
School.
Top money earners were rewarded with
prizes including: passes from Lakewood
Family Golf Center, kites, bikes, scooters,
basketballs, footballs, and skateboards.
“The Walk for Roadrunner Pride is a great
event to build school pride and show that we
are all working together to reach a common
goal,” said Ring Elementary School
Principal Connie Foster. “The students are
proud to bring in their donations and walk
together to Washington Middle School. It
is a wonderful experience to see everyone
in such a large school all working together.
The Walk for Roadrunner Pride is great for
school morale!”

Beer Can Summer
Contributing Writer
Vicki McGraw
Well, summer seems to have finally
arrived…and with that comes warm sunny
days, lots of time to relax, and of course,
no stress at all. Yeah right! We hope for
the warm sunny days, especially on the
weekends, please! But time to relax? No
stress? Come on, who are we kidding?
Summer means working hard to get the
stuff we NEED to do done quickly so we
can do the stuff we WANT to do! The
stress comes from that little idea! We need
to think ahead, so what we need to do
takes less time and effort, and we are able
to enjoy ourselves without the guilt!
My favorite part of the warmer months
is grilling…and luckily my husband is a
grill master! Chicken or burgers, chops
or kebabs, no matter what is, it just tastes
better cooked on the grill. While it may
take a little fore-thought to prepare some
things, the cook times are generally shorter
and the opportunity to serve a hot meal
without heating up your kitchen is the
best!
Meats are like sponges…they will absorb
the flavors you introduce them to! I always
season my meats with the intention of
letting them rest before cooking so that
the flavor of the seasoning will infuse the
meat. The longer it rests, the more flavor
will intensify. Another method of not just
flavoring but tenderizing meats is to brine
them; much like I would brine a turkey at
Thanksgiving, I will brine chicken pieces
to infuse an amazing deep flavor and add
unparalleled moisture to the meat.
A great flavor infused meat is grilled, beercan chicken. I always do two at a time to
be sure I have plenty! Using a “can stand”,
the chicken is cooked with the can inside
it, thus creating a steam bath of flavor.
Whether you use your favorite can of
beer, soft drink or fruit juice, the liquid
will heat to steaming and the vapors will
be absorbed into the meat. The important
thing to remember is to shove a potato or
an onion into the opening at the top of the
chicken so as to trap the flavorful steam!
We always need a tasty side dish to go
with our grilled meats, and there are many
summer salads we can whip up quickly.
The important thing to remember when
planning a summer salad is how “heat
resilient” it will be. I love mayo based
salads like potato and macaroni salads, but
when the weather is really warm, I turn
to different dressings to avoid possible
spoilage and the resulting “tummytroubles”.
Pasta Salad is a natural choice for a summer
side dish because it withstands the heat,
but why not try German potato salad for
a change? With its sweet vinegar dressing
it will hold well and can be served at room
temperature. Or how about a sweet pasta
salad…simply replace the veggies and
Italian dressing with chopped dried fruits
and nuts and dress with a sweet vinaigrette
dressing.
It doesn’t take much to turn a cold weather
dinner into a summer sensation!

Sweet Pasta Salad
•1 lb colored, shaped pasta
(I like bowties!), cooked al
dente
•½ c craisins
•1 c fresh blueberries
•1 c fresh raspberries
•½ c sunflower seeds
•½ c chopped pecans
•½ c (or to taste) raspberry
vinaigrette
Place all ingredients in a large bowl; toss carefully to coat with dressing.
Serve chilled.
Beer-Can Chicken
•(2) 3-4 lb whole chickens, rinsed
•(2) 12 oz cans of beer (soda or juice can be used,
also!)
•1 Tbsp olive oil
•Salt, pepper and seasoning of your choice (I like to
use different herb blends)
If you have a “can holder” for this purpose, place can in opening and
insert chicken cavity over can. If you don’t have a can holder, simply
insert chicken over can, stand in small roasting pan and surround with
crumpled foil to keep the chicken upright.
Please remember to “pop the top” on your beer or juice can before you
pop it onto the grill or into the oven, or more than the chicken may go
POP!
Drizzle olive oil over chicken and rub to coat; sprinkle with seasonings.
Place pan on grill that has been preheated to high. Close cover and cook
on high for ½ hour, then reduce heat to low and cook for an additional
1 ½ hours (total cook time 2 hrs). When done, chicken should be at 165*
and the juice will run clear. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before carving.
Jamestown
Municipal Band
at Allen Park
Todd McLean
The Jamestown Municipal Band will
perform its first concert of the summer
season at Allen Park on Wednesday, June
24 at 7:00 PM. The concert will feature
music by Italian composers, as well as
music with Italian themes. Inexpensive
and tasty refreshments will be served by
the Allen Park Women’s Club.
A highlight of the concert is music by
Giacomo Puccini. “Gianni Schicchi”,
written in 1918, is Puccini’s only truly
comic opera. It is in fact the third part of
a trilogy (“Il Trittico”) of one-act operas.
The other two, “Il Tabarro” and “Suor
Angelica”, both much less popular, are
rarely performed. The story, from Dante’s
“Inferno” (reportedly a true-to-life
account), concerns the death of a wealthy
miser who cuts all the members of his
greedy family out of his will. They seek the
help of the shady Gianni Schicchi to steal it
back. He then rips them off. The soprano
aria “O Mio Babbino Caro (O My Dearest
Papa)”, among Puccini’s most famous
numbers, is sung by Lauretta, Gianni
Schicchi’s daughter who is romantically
involved with Rinuccio, a member of the
miser’s family.
The aria will be sung by Jamestown’s
own Victoria McIlvain, now a student at
Mercyhurst University. She has also been
a contestant in Chautauqua Lake Voices.
Those who have heard Ms. McIlvain’s
previous performances have certainly
recognized her talent; now, combined
with diligent study it results in a polished
technique and a rare sort of musical
“magic.”
The theme from Martin Scorsese’s film
musical “New York, New York”, by Fred
Ebb and John Kander, made famous by one
of the most famous of all Italian-Americans
– Frank Sinatra – will also be performed,
among many others.
Other concerts by the band include the
patriotic concert July 1st, the Scandinavian
concert July 8th, and the Children’s
Concert/Christmas in July on July 15th.
In addition to the de rigueur Swedish
pieces, a special feature of the Scandinavian
concert will be music by the young Finnish
composer Ilari Hylkila, so far not widely
heard by American audiences. Although
much of his music is written for wind
bands rather than full orchestra, one can
still hear a clear affinity with the music of
the great Finnish classical composer Jean
Sibelius (a high compliment!) Even among
its modern cadences, one can hear a love of
the natural beauty of Finland, much as in
the music of Sibelius.
Perhaps even now, no musical figure looms
so large in the hearts and minds of Finns
as Sibelius, towering above all others.
Even with America’s numerous composers
classified as “great”, it is very hard to think
of a counterpart to Sibelius in American
minds, one occupying a similar space.
This is perhaps best illustrated by an
incident recounted by the Municipal
Band’s director, Richard Lundquist. One
year, after performing Sibelius’ “Finlandia”
at the Scandinavian Folk Festival, an elderly
woman from Finland, with tears in her
eyes, approached Lundquist and thanked
him profusely for the band’s performance
of her country’s beloved national theme.

What I love about Sinclairville:
Between the historic sights of Jamestown and the psychic
community of Lily Dale, lies Sinclairville, the heart of
Chautauqua County. Here you will find a close knit community
within the backdrop of green, rolling hills, a tradition of summer
festivities and a collection of small town
favorites such as veteran memorials, the
library, many different school programs
and heartfelt volunteer services such as
the VFD and historical society. In the
winter there are snowmobile trails that go
through the entire county, and in the fall
you can always look out your window and
see a group of deer or turkey grazing in the
fields. It is a great place to grow up.

Randolph Arts and
Crafts Fair
14 Church Street, Randolph
43rd Year and Growing
Jamestown Gazette Staff
“I was really impressed by how much
traffic the Arts and Crafts Fair brought
to the vendors and to all the downtown
stores,” said Mary Heyl, new director of
the Randolph Community Development
Corporation (RCDC).
On Saturday, June 20th, from 10:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m., the 43rd Annual Randolph
Arts and Crafts Festival will take over Main
Street, from the town’s main intersection
to School Street in historic downtown
Randolph and turn it over to street vendors
with all kinds of beautiful hand-made
wares and to the visiting pedestrians, rain
or shine. Nearly 100 vendors were already
promised by two weeks before the fair’s
opening, and according to Heyl, more may
be added to the list and even overflow the
sidewalks and fill the streets. “Every year it
just seems to get bigger and bigger,” Heyl
said.
In addition, an entire side street, Bank
Street just off Main, will be devoted to
festival food of nearly every conceivable
kind. Long time favorites, Fowlers Candy
and Franklin Maple are only two of many
popular and creative vendors returning to
serve up popular fare from taffy to candy
apples and lemonade, and from fried
dough to burgers, dogs and blooming
onions, with snacks and beverages of every
other kind to fill in the gaps.
“Get ready to kick off summer on Main
Street,” Heyl said. “The day also includes
raffles and contests, such as the Beautiful
Baby Contest and the Dog Show.” In
addition to the vendor’s booths and
displays under their own tents, according
to Heyl, the downtown stores along Main
Street will also welcome guests and visitors
with their own fine goods, foods and wares.
Heyl, herself a knitting enthusiast and new
Randolph resident, recently joined her
mother, Dianne Valvo, in running Yarn For
Ewe, a sewing craft store and café which
Diane recently moved from Kennedy, NY
to Randolph.
This family-friendly event also offers facepainting and games for children and a
petting zoo and the Birds of Prey display,
sponsored by Eagle Dream Rehabilitation
Center. Cattaraugus County Bank is
sponsoring the Bounce House, and free hay
rides will be provided by Camp Li-Lo-Li. A
Dunk Tank, sponsored by Randolph Retail
Company and Simply Natural Alpaca Gift
Shop will give everybody with a good
throwing arm a chance to give somebody
a good soaking for a good cause.
Live entertainment will include a
performance by Old Dawg Bluegrass, the
Jock-ular Juggler, who juggles kettle bells,
basketballs, golf clubs, and more, and an
amazing performance by a professional
magician. The dancers of Randolph’s
Expressions Performing Arts Center will
also be performing on Main Street.
Other weekend events include the
Randolph Library Book Sale from 10:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, June 19 and
Saturday, June 20. The Masonic Lodge of
Randolph is hosting a pancake breakfast
at the Randolph Fire Hall from 7:30 a.m.
to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. The Randolph
Historical Society will be open from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday with
their display on Randolph businesses over
the years. The popular Quilt Show will
take over the Community Room of the
Randolph Municipal Building from 10:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday.

SPORTS with BILL BURK
This n’ That: Advice
Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
Bill Burk has been on vacation where
he seems to have visited the Wisdom
Farm and come back home a little
wiser. We wish we knew what kind of
mischief he got himself into there, but
here’s a sampling of the wisdom he
brought back home. Ed.
Greetings Readers. Been out of
the loop a little bit lately. What’d I
miss? With graduations looming,
and as homage to the “Sunscreen”
phenomenon from a few years ago,
here’s some of my best advice:
You don’t get to choose your
nickname.
Never make the first out at third base.
You can make it at first or second,
but frankly, as a coach, I’d rather you
didn’t make it at all.
Life’s too short to eat hard cookies.
If you try to dunk in a game make
sure it goes in; two points are more
important than oohs and aahs from
the crowd.
Throw the football deep at least once
a quarter.
Always use the formal title
“President” when referring to the
leader of your country, no matter
how much you do or don’t like him.
Whatever you’re playing, never stand
still; except when it’s not your turn
to putt, bowl, shoot a free throw, or
stay on sides.
The faster you run, the sooner you
get there & Buy good shoes.
When there’s a ball (or puck)
involved, keep your head down!
Stand up to bullies. You’ll only have
to do it once.
Hold your heroes to a high standard.
If yours doesn’t stand up, get a new
one. If you can’t come up with one
ask me. There are plenty out there,
many whose name you haven’t heard
yet.
Potential means you haven’t done
anything yet.
I like my doctors and my pilots to be
older than me, and it’s getting harder
to find them every year.
Don’t teach your players five offenses
when they can’t make a lay-up.
Never lie to your doctor.
If you’re not on the field, look at
yourself before you look at the coach.
Learn how to use a 4-way Stop sign
for God’s sake.
There are good curve-ball hitters,
but no one hits a great curve ball.
Under no circumstances should you
ask a woman if she’s pregnant.
Throw when they expect you to run,
run when they expect you to throw.
When opening presents, no one likes
a good guesser.
Make your strikes look like balls, and
your balls look like strikes.
The three basics of the golf swing;
keep your head down, keep your darn
(sic) head down, keep your GOSH
DARN (sic x 2) head down.
If you HAVE to fight, punch first and
punch hard.
Trash talk is for players who aren’t
sure of themselves; pity them.
Never take the first pitch on purpose,
it might be the best one you see, and
it’s exactly what the pitcher wants.
Hit the first strike you see as hard as
you can.
Don’t boo. Even the ref is somebody’s
son (special note to self ).
They’re called cliché’s for a reason;
it really is hard to beat a team three
times in a season, most walks do
turn into runs, they really do grow
up before you know it, there really IS
no “I” in team (there’s a “ME” but it’s
backwards).
Give me the player with knowledge
and heart every time.
Better to keep your mouth shut and
appear ignorant than to open it and
remove all doubt.
If you’ve made your point, stop
talking.
If you make all your layups, and you
keep them from making theirs, you’ll
win more games than you lose.
Always sit in the front of the class.
The will to win isn’t nearly as
important as the will to prepare to
win.
The one thing you’ll always be able
to control is your level of fitness.
You are what you do. Not what you
say.
Don’t tell me about the 4-footer
you missed in competition until
you’ve missed a thousand of them in
practice.
Don’t litter.
Do your young players a favor and
teach them how to hit, not how to
walk. You aren’t a major league
coach, and 3-0 is the best pitch to hit.
Get rid of your “take” sign.
You won’t always be the strongest or
fastest, but you can be the toughest.
I promise making a fool of yourself
is more fun than sitting on the bench
alone; dance the dance.
And, here’s what I tell my kids before
every game;
Go Hard…Have Fun!

All Four Bills
Defensive Linemen
Make the NFL’s Top
100 Players
Contributing Writer
Cody Crandall
Last season, the Buffalo Bills defensive
line wreaked havoc on opposing
offensive lines and quarterbacks.
Now, that same Bills defensive line is
dominating the list of the NFL’s Top
100 Players of 2015.
All four current Bills defensive linemen
made the list, and the Bills became the
first franchise ever to have all four of
their defensive linemen to make the
list in the same year. Kyle Williams was
the first one to see his name on the list
when he came in at number 72. He was
followed by Jerry Hughes at number
63. Marcell Dareus was number 53, and
Mario Williams had the best ranking of
any Bills defensive linemen at 42.
Mario Williams set a career high in
sacks last year with 14.5 which also led
the team. Dareus was second on the
team with an even 10 sacks. Hughes
accumulated 9.5, which played a huge
role in him resigning with the Bills
this off-season. Kyle Williams had 5.5
sacks. Their combined play was an
integral role in the Bills leading all of
the National Football League in sacks.
As the 2015 season approaches, it will
be interesting to see if the Bills defense,
and specifically their defensive line,
can live up to high expectations. Those
expectations don’t just come from
these rankings, but several analysts,
including Chris Simms who is a former
NFL quarterback, think the Bills will
have the top total defense in the NFL
in 2015.
The defense is going to be the backbone
of the Bills this upcoming season. With
Rex Ryan now at the helm, and with
all of this top level talent, the defense
is going to need to “lead the charge.”
Yes, the Bills have some new weapons
on offense including LeSean McCoy,
Charles Clay, and Percy Harvin. But,
the continued success of the Bills
defense is paramount when it comes to
the Bills breaking their playoff drought.
Will the Bills defense live up to the
high expectations? Will their defensive
line continue to impose their will
on opposing teams? Well, the wait
is getting shorter Bills fans, so we all
won’t have to wait that much longer to
find out. Go Bills!

Executive. Back L to R: Brent Galuppo, General Manager Empire
Development Inc. and Bryan W. Aipoalani , Inscale Architects
CCIDA
County of Chautauqua Industrial
Development Agency (CCIDA) partnered
with Community Bank NA, to assist
in the building acquisition, renovation
and equipment purchases for Reverie
Creamery’s manufacturing and tourism
project. “Without this critical funding,
Reverie Creamery could not have become
a reality. The assistance, guidance and
nurturing relationships we have with both
organizations is greatly appreciated,” said
co-owner Riko Chandra. Owners, James
Howard and Riko Chandra are pioneers in
the production of European style, specialty
artisan cheeses in the Western New York
area.
“We are fortunate that not only has Reverie
Creamery chosen to make Chautauqua
County its home but we hope it encourages
others looking for a place that supports
new businesses,” said Gretchen Copella,
Vice President Community Bank NA.
Reverie plans a special focus on French
style, soft-ripened, aged and exclusively
Western New York sourced goat’s milk
cheese and cow’s milk cheese. The company
selects farmers who practice pasture based
herd feeding. Reverie’s traditional cheese
making methods will be applied with
state-of - the- art equipment in a facility
fully compliant with New York State and
Federal regulations. Approximately 60% of
the cheese products will be fresh cheeses
(25% Fresh and 35% soft-ripened). The
rest will be cheese aged for 3-4 months
(semi-hard cheese) and washed-rind
cheese through collaboration with local
wineries and breweries. They will vary by
season due to seasonality of pasture based
type milk.
“Milk produced solely for cheese making
and artisanal techniques combined
with proper aging produces cheese with
individuality, personality and character,
according to Riko Chandra. “We want to
excite local people with these products
made by hand and with natural ingredients.
Cheese is exciting, creamy, crumbly, and
pungent. Cheese can be rustic, refined,
and earthy. Cheese comes in all manners of
shape, size, color and smell. ”
Reverie will sell directly from Reverie
Market, its own onsite store featuring
a tasting room, seating indoors and
outdoors for visitors, and as a welcoming
stop along the bike-trail. Direct sales to
retail establishments will aim for a regional
market share and in larger cities with
distributorships and e-commerce. Reverie
Market will also sell American artisan and
farmstead regional cheeses and products
in collaboration with local artists and
artisans.
“We want to take people on a wonderful
journey to enjoy the great varieties of
artisan cheese produced by Reverie and
other American artisan cheesemakers.
These exceptional and wonderful cheeses
express the taste of place and commitment
of deep care for the welfare of animals and
the land, as well as dedication to practice,
tradition and craft.”, said James Howard,
co-owner of Reverie Creamery.
“Reverie Creamery will enhance the
tourism aspect in Chautauqua County,
and complement existing and/or new
restaurants, breweries and wineries
in our area, as well as outside the
area for distribution. It’s exciting that
operations will begin this summer”, said
Carol Rasmussen, CCIDA Business
Development Manager.
Riko Chandra has earned “The Science of
Cheesemaking” certification from Cornell
University and “Artisan Cheesemaking”
certification from Sterling College. Riko
also holds MSc in Information Technology
and MBA from University of Texas at Dallas
as well as MSc in Industrial Merchandising
from University of North Texas.
James Howard holds MSc and PhD degrees
in Geology from Stanford University in
California, and has held various ownership,
technical and management positions in the
US and overseas. Mr. Chandra and Mr.
Howard will also be joined by assistant
cheesemaker Rachel Vaillancourt from
Mayville. Rachel recently graduated with
a BSc in Livestock Science & Management
from Delaware Valley College, Doylestown,
PA.
“Reverie Creamery will be a great addition
to Chautauqua County,” said Vince
Horrigan, Chautauqua County Executive.
“I am thrilled that we will have this great
new business that will work with local
dairy farmers and expand our tourism
industry as residents and visitors can taste
and purchase these delicious local artisan
cheeses and get a behind the scenes look of
the cheese-making process.”
Reverie Creamery is located at 3943 route
394 in the Town of North Harmony.

Family members of the late Judy Pollino
will take to the race track twice this year
to share the early warning signs of ovarian
cancer with the public and raise money to
help the Judy Pollino Memorial Cancer
Care Fund grow larger. Through the fund,
grants are given to WCA Hospital for
cancer care and education, specifically
ovarian cancer. The Pollino family and
friends will sell 50/50 tickets for a fund
raising drawing at Stateline Speedway on
Fridays June 19 and July 3. Gates open at
6 p.m. and racing begins at 7 p.m.
Tammy Pollino, family spokesperson,
shared their hope for cancer success
stories.
“Ovarian cancer is a silent killer and very
prevalent. Our wish is to help other people
become aware and get the tests they
need,” said Tammy Pollino. “We hope our
family fund at WCA Foundation will help
others with knowledge about the disease
which will facilitate early detection of the
cancer.”
For five years, the Pollino family has
hosted benefit events entitled “Angels
Among Us” which have raised almost
$7,000 to support this endowed cancer
care fund at WCA Foundation.
Ovarian cancer causes more deaths
than any other cancer of the female
reproductive system. Early symptoms
may include bloating, pelvic pain, and
abdominal swelling, among others. But,
when ovarian cancer is found in its early
stages, treatment is most effective. The
American the American Cancer Society
estimates that in 2015, about 21,290 new
cases of ovarian cancer will be diagnosed
and 14,180 women will die of ovarian

Winged Ox Players
to Hold Auditions
Winged Ox Players
The Winged Ox Players, will hold auditions
for its fall production, “The Death and
Life of Everyman: A Comedy” by Patrick
Rainville Dorn on Monday, June 22 and
Tuesday, June 23 at 7:00pm at St. Luke’s
Episcopal Church, 410 North Main Street,
Jamestown.
This will be the sixth production by the
theatre group, which functions as an
outreach ministry for St. Luke’s. Founded
as a means to utilize the artistic talents of
the parish and the greater community, the
group presents plays that deliver a thoughtprovoking spiritual message while raising
funds to support local charities. A portion
of this productions proceeds will be
donated to Hospice Chautauqua County
and the WCA Palliative Care Program.
“The Death of Everyman” is a
contemporary and comedic interpretation
of the allegorical story of a man who
learns he must prepare to meet his maker,
before the play that he is in ends. As his
doom approaches, Everyman discovers
that family, friends and fortune cannot
accompany him, and that even strength,
beauty, intellect and emotion are no match
for the Grim Reaper.
The show, which will be directed by Daniel
Pierce ad Marge Fiore, will be performed
in late September at the Willow Bay
Theatre. Several roles are available for men
and women ages 20 to 60. Cast members
do not need to be members of St. Luke’s to
be a part of the production.
For more information about auditions
contact Pierce at 716-969-7412 or
dpackfan@gmail.com. Information about
the Winged Ox Players can also be found

Vinewood Acres Sugar Shack owner Gail Black
Charlie Chaplin’s “The Kid”
Vinewood Acres Sugar Shack
Julia Eppehimer
“Every human being should do everything
they can in the sphere of their influence
to help humanity.” That’s the motto that
Sugar Shack owner Gail Black lives by. And
it’s because her friends lived by it too, that
the Sugar Shack was opened 23 years ago.
Guarded by fields of grapevines in front,
and the cliffs above Lake Erie behind, the
Sugar Shack is a cozy country store with 31
different kinds of fruit syrup. “If it’s a fruit
and I discover it growing here, I make a
syrup,” Gail explained.
She’s got strawberry and apple, pumpkin
and cherry. But those are just the basics.
She makes mint pear syrup, wild currant
raspberry, and blueberry butter, with a hint
of cinnamon. Classic and creative, Gail had
been making syrup in her home for years
before the idea to sell it was even brought
up.
The story goes back a long ways to how
Gail ended up at her farm on Route 5
above Lake Erie. She bought the farm for
$9000 after an escape from an abusive
relationship, and she and her son moved
in. Gail was a grape farmer; in her spare
time she used her grandmother’s recipes,
along with a bit of experimentation, to
make a couple different kinds of syrup for
her family.
Gail’s fiery, yet warm personality has won
the hearts of the thousands of visitors who
stop by the Sugar Shack each year. “They’re
driving down the NY State Thruway, they
see my attraction sign, and they get off,”
Gail explained. Each year she keeps a map
to mark where the visitors come from.
Travellers place a star sticker over their
home state or country. Twenty-three of
these maps hang on the wall, flaunting
stars from all over the world. “Just in the
last two weeks,” Gail pointed out, “I got
these stars from Perm and Korea.”
Books of letters from newly made friends
and recurrent visitors show the impact
Gail has made in her customer’s lives.
She doesn’t just sell them her syrup, she
befriends them. She gives them a tour of
the farm, teaches them how her products
are made, gets to know them, and leaves a
spark of inspiration in their lives.
Yet none of this would have been, save for
a hard-fought battle against a paper mill in
1993. The company wanted to build a mill
just up the street from Gail’s little farm. The
fumes and waste from the factory would
have contaminated the lake and wiped out
all the grape farms within a 10-mile radius.
Gail fought them with everything she had,
and after four years, the fight was over and
the grape farms were left in peace. But Gail
was not.
“After this was all over, I was out there
throwing wood in that little wood fired
evaporator, madder than the dickens,
just taking out my temper on that,” Gail
recalled. The struggle had left her hardened
and angry.
“One of the people who helped with the
project walked in the door,” she said. And
he gave her a profound piece of advice:
“You need to get over being mad and move
forward, and do something else.”
Gail was not pleased with him. She didn’t
want to hear any of what he had to say.
That is, until she got a good look at herself,
and realized what she had become. “I went
stomping in the house, and I saw my face
in the mirror. I was the meanest most awful
looking old woman that you can imagine
staring back out of that mirror.”
Maybe what her neighbor had to say was
worth listening to. She called him up and
invited him back over. Then she went
searching her basement for something
to serve him. “The sun was coming in
the window…and it happened to hit a
bottle of strawberry syrup. It looked like a
highlighted word in a sentence,” Gail said.
She brought it up and served it to him on a
bowl of ice cream.
Her neighbor was thrilled with the syrup.
Immediately he decided that Gail needed
to hold classes and teach people how
to make it. Gail, in her grumpy mood,
mockingly told him she would rather sell
it.
She meant it all as a joke. Gail was not
interested in selling her syrup. But her
neighbor did not give up. He continued to
come by and encourage her, until she gave
in just to get him off her back.
He came in to the little shack in her
backyard, and said “‘Clean this place up!
Make some syrup! Nail up some shelves!
Put it in here and put a sign by the road!’
It was like a one sentence business plan,”
Gail mused.
Finally, she took a scrap piece of wood,
painted “Fruit Syrup, Free Tasting,” on
it, and set it by the road. She had not yet
returned to the house before her first
customer pulled in the driveway.
“In that one visit, I gave a tasting, I gave him
a tour…I showed him a bucket on a tree
and how it was made, he bought product,
and he asked me for tourist information…
That is the basis of what I have done for
23 years for thousands and thousands and
thousands of people.”
Vinewood Acres Sugar Shack is located at
7904 on Route 5 in Westfield. It is open 1
p.m. to 4 p.m. daily, or by appointment. For

endeavor to take the boy away. One of the
most famous silent films of all time -- and
the first that Chaplin wrote and directed
himself -- it is also regarded as the first-ever
comedy-drama.

Project LOVE Visits JPD and JFD
Jamestown Public Schools
With the help of Jamestown Police Officer,
Ron Powers, Love Elementary School
students had the opportunity to try on
SWAT gear and learn more about what a
police officer does in his or her day as part
of a field trip to the JPD. The students, who
are part of Project LOVE, visited the JPD
and the Jamestown Fire Department to
learn more about our local departments
that keep the community safe.
Love Elementary School Counselor
Patty Duncanson and JPD Captain
Bob Samuelson came up with the idea
of Project Love, a weekly
program, to increase positive
interactions/relationships
between
students
and
adults. The field trip was a
culminating activity for the
students who earned the
trip by being responsible,
respectful and safe.
Each
session,
Mrs.
Duncanson and Captain
Samuelson discuss issues that
have come up during the week
and positive ways of dealing
with difficult situations. They
also invited guest speakers
such as: Jamestown Chief
of Police, Harry Snellings,
Juvenile Detectives, Laurie Buchanan
and Diane Miraglia and Jamestown Fire
Department representatives who visited
and spoke about fire safety.
Project LOVE students with
Jamestown Police Officer Ron Powers.
“The vast majority of our students have
never experienced our community,” said
Mrs. Duncanson. “They do not know the
ins and outs of what makes our community
run. By seeing these places firsthand, it
gives them a better understanding of how
our community works. It also allows them
to meet our service providers firsthand
and get to know them and what they do.
These opportunities allow students to ask
questions and better understand the role
the JPD and JFD play in our community
and their lives.”
