This week the Jamestown Gazette, and just about everybody else in Jamestown, invites you out to the old ball game. Come on out to opening night, Wednesday, May 27, down at the Russell E. Diethrick, Jr. Park on the scenic greens beside Jamestown Community College for a pleasant spring evening out with your friends and neighbors. Do you remember Bullet Bob? That was Bob Feller, the Cleveland Indian pitcher with 570 trips to the mound to his credit who scored a phenomenal 62 wins out of every 100 games he ever played in the majors. He once explained baseball like this: “Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday’s success or put its failures behind and start over again. That’s the way life is, with a new game every day, and that’s the way baseball is.” He said he was talking about a lot more than baseball. Of course, more than one other great American philosopher has told us about baseball as a microcosm for life’s most important issues. Yogi Berra, for instance, once told a sports reporter, “Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.” He also displayed his unique grasp of the English language – and mathematical logic – in his statement that, “Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.” Baseball is the essential American sport. According to various reports, we took it over from another game, another time and another country and then changed it into our own. Some say it was originally the 13th century game called “Stoolball” played by English milkmaids while waiting for their husbands to return from working in the fields. Priests forbade it being played in churchyards. That’s the most entertaining theory I know of (716) 484-6935 [email protected] about baseball’s disputed origin. If it is true, it’s no wonder we took their ball, their bat, exchanged their milk stool target for a catcher, gave it to the boys and did all the other things to make it our own. Then we gave it back to the girls to play too, and to the whole world as American Baseball. But what is most American about baseball, in my opinion, makes it something more than a game. Al López, one of the winningest major league managers of all time and a great catcher during his playing days, said it like this, “Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it’s business or baseball, or the theater or any field. If you don’t love what you’re doing and you can’t give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You’ll be an old man before you know it.” Opening Day at Diethrick Field will be a great game. Peanuts and Crackerjacks, pretzels ‘n beer, and then on into those lazy, crazy hazy days of summer… and home runs and double plays and long fly balls scaring the pigeons off the outfield and into the sunset… that’s baseball at its best. But there’s one more thing out there on the field that always thrills me, at least one time in every game. It’s the passion to play the best game ever played, to hit the ball better than anybody’s every hit it before, to dive farther for that glove-web, shoestring catch that nobody ever caught the likes of before… and the players who leave it all on the field only after the very last out is played. That’s what American baseball is all about. And for real fans, it’s always more than a game. It’s a way to live our lives, just another example of what’s been called the great American spirit. Enjoy the game… and enjoy the read.

Jefferson Chalk Artists Learn More Horrigan to Visit Local Businesses Article Contributed by Chautauqua County Executive’s Office Kitchen, 4477 West Fairmount Ave. in Lakewood; In an effort to open up additional channels of communication, Chautauqua County Executive Vince Horrigan is prepared to visit several coffee shops and restaurants around the County as part of his 2015 Neighborhood Chats. • June 8 at 8:15 a.m. at Cassadaga ShurFine, 8038 Route 60 in Cassadaga. The Neighborhood Chats create an informal setting where residents and visitors can sit down with the County Executive and voice their concerns, raise issues they feel need to be addressed, and have their questions answered. Horrigan’s first round of Neighborhood Chats will be held on: • May 29 at 8:15 a.m. at the Bemus Point Inn, 4958 Main St. in Bemus Point; • June 1 at 9 a.m. at Schuyler’s Country • June 3 at 8:15 a.m. at Stedman Corners Cafe, 6335 Magnolia Stedman Rd. in Mayville; and “I look forward to meeting with my constituents to discuss and understand their concerns as we talk about the future of Chautauqua County,” said Horrigan. “I encourage area residents and visitors to stop by one of these restaurants and talk with me.” Plans are in place to have Horrigan travel to over a dozen locations across the county. Details about additional Neighborhood Chats will be released prior to his visit. Restaurant owners who are interested in having the County Executive visit can contact the County Executive’s Office at (716) 753-4211. Jefferson MIddle School 5th graders, Hannah Grey and Madison Arthurs, work on their chalk drawings with help from art teacher, Lisa Corey. Article Contributed by Jamestown Public Schools forms. Chalk is also a great material to use for tone because students can blend the powder easily. Jefferson Middle School fifth graders enjoyed being outside while also sharpening their artistic skills by becoming chalk artists for a day. Students in Lisa Corey’s art class learned how to draw forms and create a 3-dimensional look by using tone to shade. “I chose to take the students outside because it’s important to know that art isn’t always made on paper or canvas,” said Mrs. Corey. “It can be on many different surfaces and can be temporary. Most students have had experience drawing shapes on their sidewalks. Now they can take it to the next level and create volume in their drawings.” Mrs. Corey taught the students how to create the illusion of form on a flat surface by changing the values. As light hits the forms, the value changes from dark to medium to light. Being outside, students get to use a light source like the sun and see more clearly how shadows cast from the Chalk Walks are becoming more popular. Jamestown has a Chalk Walk in September and the Relay for Life will be having one on May 30th. Hopefully, some of the budding Jefferson chalk artists will feel inspired to enter a chalk walk with their new art skills. 6 JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com May 26, 2015 E N I EE H W FF TTHH !

Burke Difficulty : Medium Copyright 2015 by The Puzzle Syndicate HOW TO SOLVE: (Answer appears elsewhere in this issue) When it comes to planting your annuals and vegetables, it’s been a tough season to get going with these cold nights; a good reason to wait beyond the recommended May 15th planting date. Even waiting until Memorial Day seemed iffy. I am very excited to get started since I bought a raised garden bed 48” wide x 96” long x 12” deep. The boards are of a recycled plastic composite. Why a raised bed verses planting in the ground? What are the benefits of growing your vegetables or flowers in a raised garden bed or garden box? Here are the Pros: 1. You can use soil superior to the native yard soil, a loose mix to prevent soil compaction for easier weeding. 2. Raised beds provide good drainage. 3. You can grow atop concrete if the box soil is deep enough. 4. The soil warms up earlier so you can plant earlier and extend the growing season. The Cons are: 1. Start-up costs can be more. 2. Requires careful planning to make enough room for plants to spread out and for reaching the middle to tend plants. 3. They drain quicker and need to be watered more often. May require an irrigation system. Building it is easy. Home Improvement Stores carry garden kits or you can order lumber cut to size. Assemble the four sideswith brackets and fill with soil. It’s that simple. The size will determine how much soil you need. Go to Gardeners Supply Company at www.gardener.com, search for “Forever raised beds” and click on “How to & Instructions”. Pull up “How to Calculate Soil Volume”. Enter your dimensions and it will calculate the cubic yards of soil needed. I needed just a little over a yard of soil to fill my large bed. Before you order a truck of soil, visit the site where you will buy it. The lowest price might only buy a poor clay-stone mix. It could take weeks sifting stones and adding amendments for optimum growth and veggie planting. Some local nurseries will deliver a yard of good peat compost mix, premium grade soil, in a giant bag for your raised bed.

JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com May 26, 2015 716-450-7357 SPIRETHEATER.ORG 317 E 3rd St. Jamestown, NY 14701 FaithMatters 7 Dairy Promotions Committee Inducts New Princess Candidates Remembering Contributing Writer Pastor Shawn Hannon Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY Church people are generally really good at remembering—and I’m not talking about Joe who remembers when kids didn’t wear shorts to church or Judy who remembers when every seat was full. I’m talking about a deeper sense of remembering. I’m talking about a more real vision of the past in our present. Sometimes that remembering even sneaks into the language of our worship, but even when it doesn’t it is certainly there. Weekly the saints at the church I serve gather around a table set with bread and wine. Why? you may ask. That’s easy, because Jesus told us to do it in remembrance of him. But even before that, we remember that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We remember that Jesus alone has the words of eternal life. We remember, a lot. We are, if you want to take it one step forward, a remembering people. We are a people who were born in the waters of creation who have a salvation history from Egypt to exile to home again. We were saved by God’s love poured out for us on a cross, and we remember that every time we dip a finger in the baptismal font. We are a people who remember. Which is why I hoped to offer this week a simple article from a people who remember to a people celebrating Memorial Day. Here are a few quick tips of things I’ve learned about remembering: 1. Remembering is inherently THANKFUL. Another word for Last Supper is Eucharistic—a word literally meaning thanksgiving. When we remember Jesus’ sacrifice, we cannot do so without giving thanks first. May that be true for you this weekend as well. Do not simply remember those who have died, but give thanks for their life and sacrifice. 2. Remembrance is ACTIVE. So often when we think of remembrance we make it passive. We think of something in our heads, and it stays there. But remembering those who have died in service to our nation isn’t something we should think about in our head, but honor with our lives. After remembering our bondage to sin, we confess it. After remembering those who have died, what will you do to honor their sacrifice? 3. Remembering ISN’T a mandate to RELIVE THE PAST, but to carry the past’s lessons with us in the present and into the future. And isn’t that after all what the men and women who died in service were fighting for? For a new reality? A reality with more peace and less violence, more justice and less oppression, more regard for the sanctity of life, the common good, and world peace? Of course it is. A true Memorial Day shouldn’t make war mongers out of us, but a people ever more set on the course of peace. For many people Memorial Day serves a couple of different purposes. It is a long weekend to get your yard in order. It is the start of the summer season. Maybe it’s just a day off. But may it be more for you this year. May you REMEMBER as you REMEMBER to be thankful, be active, and continue the work of those who have gone before us, making our nation and our entire world a more just and peaceful place for those who will remember us to live. Amen. For more inspiration and insights from Pastor Shawn’s past columns, please visit www.jamestowngazette.com and click on the Faith Matters page.

Chautauqua County Dairy Princess candidates and Dairy Ambassadors display the colorful dairy mosaic they recently painted at their tea. L to R: Mikaela Johnson - the 2014-2015 Chautauqua County Dairy Princess, Madison Woodis, LynnDee Nagel, Autumn Gregory, Katelyn Miller, Jessica Morton – the 2014-2015 Alternate Dairy Princess, and Sophia Woodis. Lily Woodis also participated. Article Contributed by Cornell Cooperative Extension The Chautauqua County Dairy Promotions Committee recently held their annual tea at the Frank W. Bratt Agricultural Center with support from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County. The committee welcomes new dairy princess candidates and ambassadors to the program. The 2014-2015 Chautauqua County Dairy Princess, Mikaela Johnson, discussed her reign with attendees and answered questions about what the new princess might encounter in her role as dairy princess. “This year has been so much fun and it has been a great learning experience.” Johnson said. “I would like to thank everyone who helped me this year representing our local dairy industry as the Chautauqua County Dairy Princess.” This year’s activity was a youth-friendly sip and paint. Attendees completed a mosaic of a new logo from the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council (ADADC) as they enjoyed milk punch and other dairy-based snacks. The committee intends to display the dairy mosaic at events throughout the reign of the new princess. Two princess candidates were introduced at the event. Jessica Morton, 17, is the daughter of Karen and Stan Paszko. Morton lives in Sherman where she has worked on her grandparents’ (Perry and Betty Dewey) dairy farm. She served as the Chautauqua County Alternate Dairy Princess during the 2014-2015 reign, and is a junior at Sherman Central School. Morton is an active member of FFA, and participates in volleyball, track and National Honor Society. Madison Woodis, 16, is the daughter of Michael and Heather Woodis. Her family operates a dairy farm in Dewittville, NY. Woodis has been an ambassador with the dairy promotion program for several years, and is a sophomore at Chautauqua Lake Central School. She is an active member of the Canadaway 4-H club, volleyball, track, band, chorus and school government. Held in conjunction with the Chautauqua County Dairy of Distinction Award Program, this year’s Dairy Princess Pageant takes place on Friday, June 5th at 7 PM at the Falconer High School. For more information or to make reservations for the Dairy Princess Pageant and Dairy of Distinction Awards, please contact Lisa Kempisty, at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County at 6649502, Ext 203. The Chautauqua County Dairy Princess Program is made possible through the support of the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council: the local planning and management organization funded by dairy farmer check off dollars. The mission of ADADC is to encourage the consumption of milk and dairy products through advertising, education and promotion, and to reach consumers with product benefits and advantages. 8 JAMESTOWN GAZETTE www.JamestownGazette.com May 26, 2015 Foundation Presents Piece of World Trade Center to Piazza Carpet L to R: Chris Laury, Rick Piazza, owner of Piazza’s Carpet One Floor and Home and Joe Morstatt Article Contributed by Stephen Siller Foundation On Tuesday, May 19, representatives from the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization begun in memory of a fallen 9/11 firefighter, paid a special visit to Piazza’s Carpet-1 Floor & Home at 878 Fairmount Ave., Jamestown to personally thank Rick Piazza for his generous support of the Foundation’s Building for America’s Bravest (BFAB) program.

In recognition of that support, on Tuesday, members of the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY)—acting on their own initiative, as ambassadors of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation—presented a specially-designed shadowbox containing hallowed 9/11 steel from Ground Zero to Rick Piazza. “We are truly humbled and honored that the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and members of the FDNY—who were actually at Ground Zero on 9/11 and during its aftermath—are travelling all the way from their home base to visit us and express their gratitude to us,” said Piazza. “In fact, we are the ones who are thankful to them for their dedication and service. That is why we are so thrilled to be part of this impactful program that helps military heroes who have sustained the most devastating injuries.” About Carpet One Floor & Home Carpet One Floor & Home is a locally owned flooring retailer serving the Greater Jamestown Area.

Todd Burge resides in Parkersburg WV with his wife Lisa and their children, Will and Sophia. Formed in the small community of Fillmore, New York by songwriting brothers Matt and Nathan Corrigan, Tough Old Bird plays a potent blend of authentic folk and blues that reflects the rural landscape it comes from, a place where the last train just pulled out and the carnival is always on its way to the next town. From its formation in early 2013, Tough Old Bird rose quickly from open mic nights and campfire circles to opening and headlining gigs at bars, coffee shops and music clubs across the state. Tough Old Bird’s debut album, entitled Never to Return, was released on April 29th 2014, What I love about Westfield: b Jamy: i Pr ob e st Looking back, the 2014-2015 season has been a remarkable journey for us. It was highlighted by two men who are among the most important and high-profile figures in Americana music today. John McEuen not only brought sounds of American music like the mandolin and banjo into mainstream consciousness, but he was instrumental in carrying roots music across a crucial threshold in the early 1970’s. And we were not the first to call Jim Lauderdale “The King of Americana.” While they certainly headlined the season, it was all the many hard-working musicians that generously shared their time and talent with us that really represented what we do. Born and raised in Westfield, to this day I still call it my home. I’ve heard a lot of people complain about life here, and I’ve seen as many people leave because of those complaints. These are people who’ve never witnessed a talented local musician playing an original song for the first time in the dark corner of a bar, been influenced by one of our teachers, or seen the way our community puts differences aside and comes together to fight a common cause. The truth is that life here is what you choose to make of it. If all you expect is the negativity you see in the media, then you will truly miss out on everything life here has to offer. New JCC Board of Trustees Member Article Contributed by Jamestown Community College Tough Old Bird Radio is fortunate to be associated with Dennis and this great station. We are only one of the many things they do for the area. WRFA deserves our support. And, they know how to throw a party! An eleven time repeat guest on NPR’s “Mountain Stage,” Todd Burge has been called the “dean of WV songwriters, the best we have”, by its host, Larry Groce. Employing wry humor, dexterous guitar work and drawing on a rich variety of life experiences, Burge has emerged as one of West Virginia’s most prolific singer/ songwriters. Burge, has played everything Swimming Pools by SINCE 1960 9 and there may be more than a touch of irony to the record’s title – Tough Old Bird is here to stay. The duo is currently booking shows and festivals for the summer of 2014 and beyond. The core of Tough Old Bird’s sound comes from Matt Corrigan’s intricate acoustic guitar work, and from the voice and nimble harmonica playing of Nathan Corrigan, who holds a degree in literature and brings a poetic sensibility to the duo’s lyrics. Accents of accordion and waves of electric guitar give Tough Old Bird a sound that is at once modern and ancient. Cody Austin of Jamestown was recently elected as the student representative to the Jamestown Community College board of trustees for the 2015-16 academic year.

But the par 3 contest on the Wednesday before opening day might have been the best ever. Jack Nicklaus made his ONLY hole-in-one ever at Augusta National at age 75. That’s 55-some years playing the Masters (72 regulation holes plus another 9 at the par three tournament) over 4,000 holes played and not a single ace until this year. Better yet, and another first, he called his shot, predicting in an ESPN interview the day before that he’d make an ace. In this media era of Tiger Woods saturation, it’s hard to explain to the younger generation just what a legend The Golden Bear really was but that hole-in-one would be a nice place to start. Make a Wish Kevin Streelman won the par 3 tournament, which is only relatively newsworthy. That he did it with 13-year-old Ethan Couch on his bag is more interesting. Couch has an inoperable brain tumor and caddied for Streelman courtesy of the Makea-Wish Foundation. Streelman made Ethan’s dream come true. Pretty neat story, no? The Rose and the Ball Here’s my solution to the Pete Rose saga: he agreed to a lifetime ban, signed the paper and everything. So the day he dies, reinstate him, and let him in the hall wearing his Sketchers. Lifetime = lifetime. One more run at my obsession with Babe Ruth, then I’m done, I swear. I spent a few weeks in this space weaving a little melodrama about the Babe barnstorming Celoron for an exhibition game. Recently, Sports Illustrated featured a book excerpt on Tyrus Raymond Cobb (“Exit the King” by Charles Leehrsen, SI May 11th). The Georgia Peach famously played 23 seasons, batting .366 (still the major league record) using a split grip slap-swing that you might have recognized watching batting champs like Rod Carew, Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn and most recently Ichicro Suzuki. With a dead ball in play from 1888 until 1919, Cobb had to rely on the base-hit to make his mark, since nothing was going over fences back then (11 home runs in a season was, well, Ruthian). He famously choked the bat a foot up the handle and took a deliberate “unhealthy” (his words) swing at the ball. Said Cobb, “I stick to the sure system of just meeting the ball with a half-way grip”. He was the feature player in baseball in the early 1900s. Then, according to Leehrsen, a few things happened. First, World War I ended, and suddenly Americans with a little extra disposable cash were looking for entertainment. Baseball filled that gap becoming America’s pastime. Second, in 1919 Spalding came out with a new, more tightly wound baseball made from springy Australian wool. And third, Babe Ruth started playing outfield for the Red Sox, mostly because of that baseball, using a swing he built when he was used as a pitcher and didn’t have to make a living slapping a dead ball into small infield holes. How fickle the annals of history when a sporting goods company can change the course of a national pastime by shunning domestic sheep and importing their wool? Ruth went 29 (breaking the all-time HR record), 54 and 59 home runs in the years 1919-1921, and that was the end of Ty Cobb as a headliner. Golf the Right Way Last weekend at the PGA event at Quail Hollow the 16th hole played 514 yards as a par 4. There’s a bunker 305 yards out on the right that protects the fairway from a sweeping draw from right-handers. Except nobody told Rory McIlroy that. He blasted a 364 yard drive over the bunker, then hit a gap wedge to 3 feet and tapped in for birdie. What game is it he’s playing again? No Tipping, Please I care very little about A-Rod one way or the other. I only know what the media chooses to tell me (inescapable if you follow sports). They say he’s a calculating, insecure prima-Dona who can hit a baseball in the regular season (not so much in the playoffs). Okay, whatever…those traits wouldn’t necessarily be dealbreakers if I was a Yankee. HOWEVER, there are plenty of claims that he tipped pitches to shortstops on opposing teams; signaled them what pitch was coming when they batted, and they presumably returned the favor when he hit. That’s unforgivable, messing with the livelihood of your teammates. Guess how hard Catfish Hunter or Sparky Lyle or Goose Gossage (or me for that matter, if I were on the mound) would have punched him in the face if he tipped pitches while they were on the bump.

Only 74 w/In Store Coupon O Really, the NFL is just trying to add some skill to the extra point attempt, and increase the number of two point attempts after touchdowns. A kick from the 15 yard-line equals about a 33-yard kick all together, which makes for a more difficult attempt. Contributing Writer Cody Crandall Something subtle caught my eye in the sporting world this week. It had nothing to do with the “deflategate” scandal with the New England Patriots, the NBA playoffs and NHL Playoffs, or the MLB season that is now in full swing. Instead, it had to do with a rule change that will be implemented next season in the NFL. The new rule is that extra points after every touchdown will now be pushed back to the 15-yard line, while keeping two point conversion attempts at the 2-yard line. The play will also now be “live,” meaning that the defense could return a blocked extra point attempt or turnover on a two point conversion attempt for two points, which they weren’t allowed to do before. So why did the NFL make such an effort to change the rules regarding extra points? Well, since 2000, NFL place-kickers have converted around 98 percent of their extra point attempts. Since 2010, NFL place-kickers have converted almost 99 percent of their extra point attempts. When you think about it, the high and almost “The kicker is a skill position now,” said Troy Vincent, the NFL’s vice president of football operations. “They are extremely accurate. We are not trying to remove the foot out of the game.” It will be interesting to see how the kickers react to these longer attempts next season. Jay Feely, a 14-year NFL veteran kicker, wasn’t too pleased with the rule change. “What did the NFL really accomplish?” Feely said. “It’s still nearly an automatic kick, but there is a greater risk of injury to the offensive line.” This has been proposed as a one year rule just to see how it works for the 2015 season. However, ESPN states that the intention from the competition committee is that this rule change will be around for quite some time. Cody Crandall is an intern at the Jamestown Gazette.

My world is reduced to a single instinct: Survive. As the world fell it was hard to know who was more crazy: Me... Or everyone else.” The verdict is in, and George Miller’s relaunch of the Mad Max franchise, Fury Road, is the 21st century smash hit that no audience member nor fanboy can deny. Mad Max: Fury Road is like an adrenaline shot to the chest from straight out of Pulp Fiction. It has energy, it has combustion. Mad Max: Fury Road is a brilliantly choreographed, chaotic masterpiece. From the jump, the film takes off running. Literally, Max (Tom Hardy) is captured by a gang of War Boys, and the first of many chase sequences has him battling his way out of the catacombs of The Citadel, the oasis of his storied postapocalyptic wasteland. The Citadel is the home and sanctuary of Immortan Joe, a maniacal warlord with many devout followers and countless victims; one of them is his daughter, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), but soon, however, the tables would be turned on Immortan Joe. Furiosa has a plan, a plan of vengeance and selfredemption. The special effects are absolutely phenomenal. The contrast of night and day is reflected beautifully in shades of teal and orange. The obstacles of the wasteland are enough to put you on your heels and just say – wow. The only way someone could even think about sleeping in this movie is if they have narcolepsy, and I doubt it’d even be possible for them to tune out on Fury Road. It’s that captivating, it’s that enthralling, and it has all the elements of the Mad Max franchise that has kept it going for more than 35 years. The needle has been injected, the adrenaline is pumping through his veins, its official - Mad Max is alive and well, and it’s been kicked up a notch! Rating: 4/4 Stars J.F.

Perimeter Road, Steamburg, NY (Next to the Turtle Pit) Open 10am-7pm Mon-Sat 716-354-2100 Maple Springs Garden Walk Heather Johnson, co-owner of Chautauqua Miniatures and 2 Chixx Gift Shoppe, stands by one of the many miniature displays housed in the 1890s barn in Mayville. Chautauqua Miniatures and 2 Chixx Gift Shoppe Article Contributed by Julia Eppehimer An hour wouldn’t be enough time to see everything in Chautauqua Miniatures and 2 Chixx Gift Shoppe; it might take a whole day to really get a good look at everything. “We have antique jewelry…new jewelry… games…clothes. We love our clothes,” coowner Heather Johnson pointed out things on her left and right as she wandered through the store. “A lot of times people will say, ‘Oh, what is your store?’ And I always think, ‘How do I describe this place?’…It’s like a giant department store, with a miniature store attached…maybe a quirky department store.” Perhaps a quirky department store was not what Heather and her friend Sandra Duffee had in mind when they took over the Chautauqua Miniatures business twelve years ago, but over the years their inventory has expanded into a line of toys, clothes and gifts, in addition to their world of miniatures. But to own a miniature store was always part of the plan, even if it did not seem like it. Heather went to school to study education, and ended up at work in a landscaping business which she owned for 8 years. “And I ran the landscaping department at Chautauqua Institution for 15 years.” Heather had convinced her friend Sandra to come work at the landscaping business with her, then at Chautauqua. But the two friends also shared a long-time passion for miniatures. “We always said someday when we retire we’re going to run a miniature shop,” Sandra said. Twelve years ago Jean Pearson retired and decided to sell her miniature business. “I was like ‘Eek!’” Heather laughed. “Jean’s retiring; we need to do this right now!” And thus a lifelong dream came true. “It’s a good thing we didn’t know what we didn’t know!” Heather laughed. They began with the miniatures, but added a flower shop for a while and moved four times before they settled into their niche as a miniature shop, home boutique, toy store, housed in an 1890s barn. Sandra and Heather love to travel to shows around the country and find treasures from around the world. They met a lady Week of 5/2 from Washington who raises her own bees, and makes all natural lotions and health products. They have a new line of jewelry made from coconuts in Ecuador and a line of vintage jewelry courtesy of Sandra’s brother who has an antique store in Olean.“Everything has a story,” Heather said. This is a snapshot of the gardens at the home of Barry and Patty Eckwahl in Maple Springs, N.Y. The Eckwahl garden is one of 13 included in the Maple Springs Garden Walk on Saturday, July 11th. “We just shipped a whole bunch of these to Italy,” Heather said, holding a completely furnished miniature house in her hand. They sell products all over the world, and from all over the world. Tiny hand-blown wine glasses from England and glamorous vintage dressers from Germany line the antique display cases. Article Contributed by Lutheran Services Some of the furniture and props are made in their own workshop. Heather designs mini pieces of furniture, while Sandra forms little hats and purses. “We love to make things,” Heather smiled. One display has a theme that never changes. “Here’s mom!” Heather cried out excitedly. “She was an investigative reporter for the Buffalo News. And then when she retired, I did it in miniature for her!” Heather pointed to the newsroom, its walls covered in old articles her mom had written. Thirteen gardens throughout the village will be featured. The Chic Boutique is a collection of gently used items at reasonable prices for both inside and outside of the home. Hotdogs will be available for a small donation. “Our Walk is unique because all of the gardens are within walking distance and they come in all sizes and shapes,” Leary said. “Many of them are located at vacation homes, so easy maintenance is key.” Tickets are $5.00 pre-sale. They can be purchased on line at www.fomsp.org, at the Bemus Point Library and at the Whiteside Circle, lakeside, in Maple Springs on July 4th. Tickets are $7.00 the day of the event and will be sold at the Circle, where the tours begin. The event is sponsored in part by Chautauqua Brick. For more Copyright 2015 by The Puzzle Syndicate information contact Ms. Leary at 716-5803935. “We started the Garden Walk with Week of 5/25/15 - 5/31/15 three goals in mind,” said Eileen Leary, committee chairperson. “We wanted to get to know our neighbors, to improve the curb appeal of our homes in a fun way and to help sustain Midway State Park and our precious lake. It’s been a tremendous Family is important. Heather’s five grandchildren and Sandra’s three all get to hand-test the toys they sell. They love to play with the miniatures and watch the themes of the houses develop.

Previous donations supported the complete overhaul and painting of the historic carousel and horses. This year’s proceeds will help recreate the mini golf course at the Park. Their favorite part of the work is to set up the displays. Nursery themed cases, castle themed, Halloween themed and a delicious bakery filled with tiny handcrafted pies and cakes. The themes of the houses around the store change periodically. “I’ve watched customers’ kids grow from 8 to 20,” Heather said. “Now you know them, you know their families…everybody sort of becomes this family.” Some old customers greet new ones and even help them out. “I think that’s kind of the neatest part of it all,” Heather smiled.

Over 250 pieces of student artwork from kindergarten through 12th grades were on display. The art show is open to the public through June 2nd by visiting the Jefferson Middle School main office and receiving a visitor’s pass to view the exhibit. “We are thrilled with the turnout for the opening,” said Dave Mazzone, JPS Visual Art Chairman. “We have incredibly talented students who work very hard to create beautiful artwork. As an art department, we always have difficulty picking just a few pieces from each school and grade level. We have so many creative students in our district.” Artwork included in the show showcases all mediums from photography to mixed media to paintings to sculptures. The diversity of art is a testament to the wide-range of art courses available to JPS students. JHS junior Monica Wofford, who has shown artwork in the district show every year since fourth grade and has a selfportrait oil painting in this year’s show commented,” It is great that JPS has a district-wide art show every year to show the public what JPS students are capable of creating. We are very lucky in Jamestown to have the amount of art classes that we can take to help up develop and strengthen our skills and techniques. I plan to go into art education and become an art teacher so I have benefited from all the art classes I have taken.” Tickets are $5.00 pre-sale. They can be purchased on line at www.fomsp.org, at the Bemus Point Library and at the Whiteside Circle, lakeside, in Maple Springs on July 4th. Tickets are $7.00 the day of the event and will be sold at the Circle, where the tours begin. The event is sponsored in part by Chautauqua Brick.
