In the 1880s a group of local churchwomen
who saw the need for a hospital to care for
the sick in a young and growing city banded
together and formed the Woman’s Christian
Association (WCA). On May 23, 1885,
WCA Hospital was chartered as a one room
hospital. One hundred and thirty years
later, on Saturday, May 23, 2015, WCA will
celebrate its modest beginnings.
“We are honored and humbled to celebrate
130 years of service to our residents,” said
Betsy T. Wright, FACHE, WCA Hospital
President/CEO. “Founded by a group of
passionate women in 1885 who were devoted
to a city mission, we opened our doors as a
one-room hospital for the sick and injured.

Today, we are a regional health leader,
serving hundreds of thousands of patients
annually with the support of more than
1,200 compassionate and caring employees,
board and hospital leaders, physicians,
and volunteers who work 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, 365 days a year to improve
ONE OF OUR OWN
MARK HANNON
Article Contributed by
Walt Pickut
“You’ve just got to do your best every day,”
said Jamestown native, Mark Hannon,
talking about his 36 years of driving for
Upstate Niagara Cooperative. In March,
Hannon was awarded the NYS Motor
Truck Association Driver of the Year
for the Western Region, at a ceremony
in Albany. This past April Mark was
also inducted into the National Truck
Drivers Hall of Fame with a ceremony in
Cincinnati Ohio.
The National Hall of Fame is operated
under the aegis of the National Private
Truck Council (NPTC), a national trade
association dedicated exclusively to
representing the nation’s private motor
carrier fleets. To qualify for the annual
Hall of Fame induction, a driver must
have driven 3 million miles, or for 20
years or 50,000 hours of consecutive
driving without a preventable accident.
Only four drivers are selected across the
country every year from the nationwide
pool of qualified drivers. At the April
26 induction ceremony, NPTC honored
four truck drivers from across the
country who have together logged more
than 15 million miles of safe driving
in approximately 153 combined years
of service. Since the program began in
1987, NPTC has honored more than
100 drivers from a broad spectrum of the
nation’s top private truck fleets. Readers
can learn more at https://www.nptc.
org/.
Asked about the hardest part of the job,
Hannon answered with a smile, “I’ve
driven far enough for four or five trips to
the Moon and back by now. The hardest
part of the job, though, is the physical
demand.” Beyond driving, Hannon loads
and unloads his cargo of fresh-from-thefarm milk every day at the plant and at
every delivery point. “The hours can be
tough, too, because the job just has to get
done, no matter what.” Backing up that
statement is Hannon’s remarkable record
of calling in sick only one day in all his
years.
“The other drivers on the road, the ones
in their cars, can be a problem, too,”
Hannon admitted. “You have to become
aware of your surroundings all the time.
People have so many more things to
distract them than they used to, like cell
phones and GPS units.”
Safe driving, however, is also a team
effort. “Another reason I haven’t had an
accident in 36 years, is a credit to my
company,” Hannon explained. “They
always make sure we have safe vehicles.
When the trucks need to get fixed, they
get fixed, or they give you another one to
drive until it gets done.”
Hannon said, “First, I would be remiss
if I did not thank Upstate Niagara for
this nomination and the NPTC for their
ongoing commitment to professionalism
and excellence in driving. I could never
have imagined when I began driving for
Upstate 36 years ago that a nomination
for such an honor would have been in
my future. In truth, I was a young man
looking for an opportunity to put in a
hard day’s work to provide for his family.
I believe my long career at Upstate more
the health status of our residents, alongside
our health partners and our supportive and
giving community.”
The hospital idea originated with a group
Continued on Page 9
than speaks to that being exactly what I
found at the co-op.”
Unstated by Hannon’s employer or
NPTC, but at the core of his career and
his Hall of Fame award, is a strong work
ethic. “I wish I could share two ideas with
everyone entering today’s workforce, no
matter where they are and regardless of
their job,” Hannon said. “I have found a
couple of things to be true. First, I do not
simply drive for Upstate. I have always
believed I, as a small part of the whole,
am Upstate. I have always prided myself
on being the front lines for my employer.
I carry myself with integrity and treat
every person I meet with the upmost
respect. To date, I am extremely proud to
call many of these people friends.
Another thing I have learned is that a
job can be just a job, or it can be more.
In three decades of driving it has never

The People’s Paper.
Full of Sick People
America’s first hospital was built – long before there
was even an America – in the Pennsylvania Colony.
Colonists simply called it The Pennsylvania
Hospital. It was founded by Benjamin Franklin
and his good friend Dr. Thomas Bond in 1751. Its
mission was “To care for the sick-poor and insane
who were wandering the streets of Philadelphia.”
Some things just never change.
In those days the common cold was blamed on
‘obstructed perspiration’. A then famous Dr.
Wm. Buchan, however, advised rest, fluids, light
foods and an infusion of balm and citrus. He also
cautioned that “Many attempt to cure a cold by
getting drunk. But this, to say no worse of it, is a
very hazardous and fool-hardy experiment.” Some
things never change.
Also in the 1700s, the famous Scottish surgeon,
John Hunter, suggested that some cancers might be
cured by surgery, and if the tumor had not invaded
nearby tissue, he said, “There is no impropriety
in removing it.” Even in this simple notion, some
things never change.
Fortunately, though, some things in medicine do
change.
John Wesley, better known for his preaching and
co-founding Methodism with his brother Charles,
was fascinated by medicine. In 1761 he published
a compendium of popular “proven” cures in
Primitive Physick, or, An Easy and Natural Method
of Curing Most Diseases.
•
It “seldom fails” to cure asthma to live “a
fortnight on boiled carrots only.”
•
To cure a nose bleed “hold a red hot
poker under the nose” and “steep a linen rag in
sharp vinegar, burn it, and blow it up the nose with
a Quill.”
•
To heal a deep cut, “Bind onto it toasted
cheese” or “try pounded grass, applied fresh every
12 hours. It will also do the trick.”
And yet, some of the oldest things in medicine are
right in every age. The legendary angel of modern
nursing, Florence Nightingale, was not the first or
last to say it, but perhaps said it best, “The very
first requirement in a hospital is that it should do
the sick no harm.”
Of course, there’s always the would-be comic in
every neighborhood who will advise you, “If you
don’t feel good, stay away from the hospital…it’s
full of sick people!” Yes, it is.
But it is also way more full of people getting better,
day by day, in every way. That’s what modern
medicine is all about. Some things have definitely
changed.
This week the Jamestown Gazette invites you
to time travel with us and our friends at WCA
Hospital. Take a trip across three centuries, from
WCA’s founding as a single room in the 19th
Century to a 21st Century center of excellence
wielding its weapons against disease with the most
advanced medical knowledge and technology.
People often arrive sick at the hospital, on the
worst days of their lives… or with the highest and
happiest expectations ever for a new life about to
arrive. In either case, hospitals are charged with
emotions, hopes and fears. That’s why even the
world’s best technology still takes a back seat to
the people who offer their personal best in caring
for those people.
The people who work at hospitals like WCA across
the nation are, after all, the still greatest asset in
the healthcare system. Next time you visit, whether
as a patient or a patient’s friend, you may admire
the wonderful technology, but you may also find
that greatest healing still comes in the hands of the
people who care.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, popular British poet
of the Victorian era, said it like this, “See how
many desolate creatures on the earth have learnt
the simple virtues of fellowship and social comfort
in a hospital.” Fortunately, some things never
change.
Another thing we hope will never change is that,
with your own Jamestown Gazette in hand, you
will enjoy the read.

Article Contributed by
Julia Eppehimer
In May of 1868, the Grand Army
of the Republic planned an annual
“Decoration Day” to decorate the
gravesites of fallen soldiers. They
chose a day at the end of May so that
flowers all over the country would
be in bloom. Roberts Nursery,
located at 3172 Dry Brook Rd. in
Falconer, has hundreds of flowers in
bloom, for Memorial Day, Mother’s
Day or any day of the year.
“We make Memorial Day baskets,”
said Sandy O’Brien, owner of
Roberts Nursery. “I have a girl
who designs all the baskets.” Little
American flags peek out of the pots,
planted next to flowers of red, white
and blue tinted petals. Other baskets
display flowers of bright yellows,
pinks and oranges. Several rooms
full of different colored blossoms
invite guests to explore the garden
wonderland.
“I don’t think I could pick a favorite,”
Sandy said. She smirked when
asked how many different types of
flowers they have. “Let me say this,
we have annuals, perennials, herbs,
Geraniums, rose bushes, fruit trees,
regular trees and shrubs, blueberry
bushes,” she rattled off the list.
In addition to the menagerie of
flowers, Roberts Nursery also
sells gardening tools, fertilizer and
seeds, small benches and other
garden decorations. Robert’s has
a landscaping crew as well, who
will install shrubs at people’s
houses. Sandy’s son works on
the landscaping crew and her
granddaughter helps out in the
greenhouse.
Sandy bought the nursery with her
husband John 25 years ago. Her
husband had worked part-time at
the greenhouse for a while and got
to know the owner, Tom Roberts.
“He had a heart problem and
wasn’t going to be able to keep the
business,” Sandy said. “So he talked
us into buying it.”
They left their jobs and their home
in Randolph and moved into the
apartment above the greenhouse.
“We sold everything and came
here,” Sandy said. The couple threw
themselves into continuing the
business at Roberts Nursery.
Although her husband passed away
three years ago, Sandy continues
to pour her heart into the nursery.
“Since my husband passed away, the
work is good for me,” she said. She
has no regrets for leaving her home
25 years ago to come to Roberts
Nursery. “We’ve met many new
people; our customers have become
our friends,” she said.
Sandy was always interested in
gardening, even before it became
her whole life. Being able to watch a
flower grow from a little seed into a
full blossom is fascinating to her. “I
like seeing things grow,” she smiled.
Even with their interest in gardening,
it was no small commitment to
become the owners of a greenhouse.
Roberts is open seven days a week,
usually from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
although the hours sometimes
change based on the season. They
begin to plant seeds in March and
have the store open from April
through October.
When they are not watering seeds,
designing flower baskets or helping
customers, the greenhouse staff

Chautauqua Lake’s
Great Race
1879 Event Would Change Rowing History
Contributing Writer
Patricia Pihl
In early October of 1879, more
than
25,000
spectators
had
descended upon upper Chautauqua
Lake, swelling the shoreline with
spectators between Mayville and the
Chautauqua Assembly.
The throng had come to witness
two world-class athletes, American
Charles Courtney, and his Canadian
rival, Edward Hanlan, compete in
what had become a uniquely popular
sport of the day - sculling. Although
the event was postponed for a week,
the crowds stayed on, waiting in
anticipation of the race with a $6,000
purse. [Editor’s note: in 2015 that
value could exceed $1 million by
some estimates.]
Corruption associated with sculling
had increased with the sport’s
popularity and the hullaballoo
created by the Mayville event and the
associated betting, price gouging,
and race fixing would prove to be a
turning point in the sport’s history.
In his recently published book,
Chautauqua Lake’s Great Race,
The Courtney-Hanlan Fiasco, local
author and Bemus resident Fletcher
Ward looks at a piece of sculling’s
local history and its principals including millionaire promoter, Asa
Soule, who engineered the rowing
competition which would shine the
spotlight on the ill-fated race.
To put its popularity in historical
context, Ward says, one has to go back
in time when there was very little in
the way of sports. “Baseball was in
its infancy, boxing was practiced, but
there wasn’t basketball and certainly
no football.”
“Sculling came to the United States
in 1811, and it was front page news
in Harper’s Weekly, and all the major
news outlets. The sport grew and by
1871, most of the Ivy League schools
had a racing team.” Ward notes that
sculling, popular in Europe, also had
the broadest public interest of any
sport in the U.S.
Two of the sport’s best oarsmen,
Charles Courtney, a “notable
competitor” from Union Springs, PA
and Canadian sports hero Ed Hanlan,
would be brought together by Soule,
a Quaker whose enterprises included
baseball investor, rowing promoter,
master salesman, entrepreneur and
developer. Soule made his initial
fortune through the sale of his patent
medicine, Hop Bitters, and was
reportedly worth $10,000,000.
Considering the venture a fantastic
way to make money, Soule got the
pair together for three races – the
first near Montreal – the second at
Chautauqua and the third on the
Potomac in Washington, DC – the
winner determining the world’s
champion.
Chautauqua Lake was considered
an ideal venue for the race, as it
was “neutral ground” because it was
one of the few bodies of water that
neither opponent had ever rowed
and was equal distance from both
their homes.
Ward states in his book that by race
day every square inch of real estate
along the 2 1/2 miles of shoreline
was crammed with spectators. The
2,000 foot long grandstand built to
accommodate 50,000 spectators was
Rowing star Edward Hanlan
rapidly filling. In addition, along
the lakeshore and throughout the
village, booths had been erected
which housed every manner of games
of chance, betting parlors, beer and
other refreshments.
The “Prospect Park Railway” was
constructed with Soule’s funding,
which paralleled the racecourse from
Chautauqua Institute to a point near
Mayville. Two crafts, referred to as
“floating grandstands were also built
to accommodate 300 spectators.
An estimated five thousand transients
were sleeping anywhere they could
find – in hotel lobbies, tables in the
street, and rooms at inflated prices lodging that once rented for a dollar
a night went for $12.
“Soule got a piece of the railroad
tickets, monies from the sale of
food and rooms,” states Ward. “By
the time the race was to come
off, Mayville was absolutely alive
and in the midst of the scammers,
pickpockets and games of chance of
every description.”
The sport was further corrupted by
those attempting to “fix” races- even
to the point of adding substances
to food or drink to sicken athletes,
which had once reportedly happened
to Courtney before a race.
As the fog lifted off the lake on
that October morning, there was
excitement in the air and so much at
stake. As fate would have it, however,
only one rower, Hanlan, would even
make it into the water, row to the
shore of the Chautauqua Assembly
and complete the return trip back.
But an actual race never took place
because Courtney’s boat had been
sawed in two by an unknown saboteur
the night before the contest.
Hanlan would win the third race
in Washington, but by that time,
the tide had turned on the sport’s
popularity– the public disgusted
with its sullied reputation.
Ward states, “The life stories of each
of the three (Hanlan, Courtney,
Soule) are fascinating as the reader
will discover, but it will be the sum
total of the three, the uniqueness of
Chautauqua Lake and the element of
greed that would set this race apart
and forever change the course of
rowing history.”
Chautauqua’s Great Race is available
at Cadwell’s Cheese House in
Dewittville and the Lawson Boat
Center in Bemus Point.

FaithMatters
Old Testament Year
Contributing Writer
Pastor Shawn Hannon
Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY
Another year of confirmation ended
recently, and once again I’m astonished at
the ability of our young people to reflect
on our faith and its role in our lives today.
This year was an Old Testament year for
us. We studied the creation accounts in
Genesis, the formation of the people and
nation of Israel, the Exodus, King David,
the prophets and more. Our kids learned
a lot and absolutely aced the so-called
final exam. But what stands out to me
the most at the end of this Old Testament
year is not necessarily how much they’ve
learned, but how far they’ve come.
At confirmation orientation this year, I
took a moment to introduce the theme
to the youth and then asked if they had
any questions—which it turns out is
dangerous with particularly thoughtful
middle and high schoolers. One
young man raised his hand and simply
asked, “Why is God so mad in the Old
Testament?” When I asked him to say
more, he responded again, “You know,
why is God such a jerk?” And you know
what? I know where that question comes
from. It’s not the first time someone’s
asked, and it’s not even the first time I
myself have wondered just what to do
with a particular Old Testament story
about God’s wrath.
There are moments in the Old Testament
where God picks sides (helping the
Israelites crush their enemies), punishes
sin (Sodom and Gomorrah), and
institutes consequences (the death of
David’s child with Bathsheba). All of
those can strike us as completely against
the God of love and grace we encounter
in the person of Jesus; the God who
eats with tax collectors and sinners,
and defends the prostitute before she is
stoned. I totally understand the question.
But the problem is most of our answers
to this dichotomy are just a little too easy
and most of our solutions are just a little
too quick. What we end up with is a God
who is a “jerk” in the Old Testament and
“nice” in the New. So we throw the Old
Testament God out. But the problem is,
when we do that we end up forgetting
that God has a salvation history with his
people going back to the beginning of
creation, not simply the last 2,000 years
since Christ. We end up forgetting that
God didn’t become loving and forgiving
in Jesus, but that God has always been
love and grace.
We read the Old Testament this year as a
confirmation class. We didn’t read every
word together, but trust me when I say we
covered it thoroughly. We read the story of
Abraham, and saw how God was faithful
to his promise even when Sarah laughed
and Abraham tried to take matters into
his own hands. We watched God select
Jesse’s 8th and youngest son, and raise
him—imperfections and all—to the king
of Israel. We heard how Esther saved
the Jewish people from genocide and
how Deborah counseled the Israelites
to victory over the Canaanites. We saw
Jonah run from God’s call and pout over
God’s grace. We heard the prophets call
for justice to roll and were reminded
through Hosea that even though we
would be called “Not [God’s] People”
if it were up to us and our actions, that
God will make us his own no matter
what. We learned that God didn’t learn
love and grace in Jesus, but that God is
and has always been “a gracious God and
merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in
steadfast love.”
Which is why their answers didn’t
surprise me at all when I asked, “Describe
God according to how God acts in the
Old Testament to someone who has
never heard of him before.” This is what
they had to say:
God is someone who loves and cares for
all of us. He can get mad when we are not
following his way and word, but that never
stops him from loving us or forgiving us. No
matter what. God created us and gives us
what we need to follow his way every day of
our lives.
Quite a difference from “Why is God
such a jerk?” right?
I said before that in the Old Testament it
seems like God picks sides, punishes sin,
and institutes consequences. Sometimes
we talk about God like he stopped doing
those Old Testament things and started
doing this in a new way in Jesus Christ.
And to some extent he certainly did. But
love and grace weren’t something God
learned along the way, they are a part
of who God is and who God has to be.
As far as those three things God did in
the Old Testament, well, God still does
those things for us. God just does them
differently now. God still picks sides;
only that side is the whole world. God
still punishes sin; only now that sin was
hung on a cross in the one person that
didn’t deserve to be there. And God
still institutes consequences like life
everlasting.
God is, has always been, and will always
be “a gracious God and merciful, slow to
anger, and abounding in steadfast love.”
Or as our confirmands put it, “God will
always love and care for us… no matter
what.” Amen.

Rather, I have viewed every day as an
opportunity to work hard providing
a valuable service to my community,
and in so doing model for my two
sons and daughter the importance
of accountability, working hard and
doing something you love.”
Hannon added, however, that work is
not the most important thing in his
life. “My family is. The most important
commitment I have honored is the one
I made to my wife who I have been with
for 33 years as man and wife…We have
brought three children into this world
of whom I could not be more proud.
They are each college educated and in
careers of their own that they love; my
two sons as Lutheran pastors [whose
columns, “Faith Matters”, can be read
in the Jamestown Gazette every week]
and my daughter in insurance sales. We
raised them to love their family, better
their community and honor whatever
they call work. We are proud to see
them raise our five grandchildren in
the same vain.”
Mark has a long record of staying
committed to everything important
in his life; he has been a NYS High
School Football Official for 32 years.
In 2011 he was presented the Section
VI Football Federation Honors for
the Southwestern Chapter at Ralph
Wilson Stadium. During the season,
you can find him on any given Football
Field across the Southern Tier.
Mark Hannon’s wife, Stacey, added,
“Our jobs are completely different, but

Nelson, owner. Together they show the
way for youth to rebuild trust and improve
their skills for healthy living through the
care and love of horses.
“This is another way we help our youth
at G.A. to heal,” Pennington said. “We
involve the youth in both riding and horse
care activities because these activities and
the resulting relationships established
between horses and riders have been
shown to provide an effective form of
therapy.” The combination of a horse’s
size and gentleness is especially helpful in
teaching children that it is possible to be
both strong and kind without sacrificing
one for the other.
The youth participating in the program
are referred from G.A. Family Services. 16
year-old Destiny says she looks forward to
the riding sessions and her time with her
favorite horse, Regal. Destiny is also very
excited about the prospect of going to horse
shows this summer. “She loves horses and
has always wanted to ride,” Pennington
adds. “We have seen a dramatic change
in her since she began. She is more selfconfident, more open with her feelings,
and she seems genuinely happier.”
Tayler, another youth from G.A., is more
apt to be doing the physical chores that
are needed in caring for the horses, which
serves as an outlet for his emotions. “I
want to own a horse someday,” he said.
“I’m learning what I need to know to take
of one.” Pennington is pleased with the
progress she sees in Tayler. “He’s a quiet
young man and tends to hold his feelings
inside,” she said. “We’ve seen growth with
his social skills and overall engagement in
day to day activities. It’s amazing to watch
the transformation of these young lives.”
Ms. Pennington grew up riding, showing,
training, and caring for horses and now
shares her passion with the youth at
G.A. She is certified by the Pennsylvania
Council on Therapeutic Horsemanship.
In addition she holds a Masters’ Degree
in Social Work from The University of
Pittsburgh.
GAFS is a specialized treatment program
for youth and their families who are in need
of care. Treatment includes residential, a
learning center, therapeutic foster care,
adoption services and community based
and preventative services. For more

program call (716) 665-2116 and to learn

Continued From Front
WCA Hospital
of women who later affiliated with
the Woman’s Christian Association.
With Mrs. Josephus Clark as their first
president, they were chartered on May
23, 1885 under New York State law to
found and maintain a boarding house for
young, working women and a hospital
for its residents and other sick and
injured persons.
A New School of Nursing
In 1890 a training school for nurses was
opened with three students. It became
the main source of trained nurses not
only for WCA, but throughout the
southern tier. When state law mandated
that nurses must graduate from an
incorporated institution, the hospital
board withdrew from the Woman’s
Christian Association, and in 1907
formed a separate corporation devoted
solely to hospital work. The name “WCA
Hospital,” which had come to stand for
quality hospital care, was retained.
“The same passionate vision that
guided the young, working women
who originally chartered the Woman’s
Christian Association in 1885 is evident
even today,” Wright said. “We continue
to build upon our rich tradition of
enhancing services and technology and
affording high quality, accessible care to
every patient who enters our hospital.”
Medical and Technological Advances
From
early
surgical
procedures
to the most advanced diagnostic
medicine, WCA has kept pace with
medical and technological advances
over its 130-year history. During the
late 1960s through the mid-1970s,
medical
technology
underwent
revolutionary change throughout the
world. Tremendous strides were made
and WCA incorporated wide-spread
technological changes including a new
coronary care unit, cobalt therapy used
to treat patients diagnosed with cancer,
and other advanced medical equipment
improvements for the betterment of the
patients.
The late 1970s introduced many
more
innovative
programs
and
technologies. The most modern
diagnostic and treatment equipment
included ultrasound that provided
detailed images of the body’s interior.
The computerized tomograph (CT)
scanner and the angiography equipment
permitted detailed and faster diagnostic
studies. WCA
dialysis center
with kidney
chemotherapy
WCA.
has the area’s premier
for the care of patients
disorders. Cobalt and
treatments are given at
WCA
Hospital’s
long-standing
commitment to quality of care also
applies to outpatients. By 1986,
diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
offered on an outpatient basis included
ambulatory surgery, extensive services
for patients diagnosed with cancer,
cardiology, neurology, respiratory care
services and radiology procedures and
many other services.
Today, WCA Hospital has advanced
far beyond the expectations of the
dutiful women of 1885. Their vision
has evolved into a major regional asset
and flourished into an award-winning,
nationally recognized health leader.
Revolutionary First
WCA was the first and only hospital in
the Southern Tier to provide robotic
surgery, joining an elite group of hospitals
across the nation in 2011 performing
this revolutionary new mode of care.
With the arrival of this new system—a
sophisticated robotic platform designed
to expand the surgeon’s capability—
surgeons at WCA Hospital achieve
outstanding results performing the most
delicate microsurgical procedures with
an unprecidented level of precision.
“We continue to strategically expand
services in response to medical
and technology advances that offer
9
tremendous benefits for our patients,”
Wright said. “As WCA gains momentum
in the 21st Century and beyond, new
medical and technological advances
will influence the incidence of disease
and change the way we deliver care in
the future. We are grateful to everyone
who has left an indelible footprint on
one of the historic jewels of our city. As
we celebrate this special occasion, we
move forward with the knowledge that
our hospital would not exist without
the vision, commitment, passion, hard
work and generosity of uncountable
individuals. We are truly indebted
to everyone who helps us preserve a
healthy and safe community for our
residents today and well into our future.”

The “National Moment of Remembrance”
resolution was passed in December of
2000. The resolution asks that at 3:00 p.m.
local time on Memorial Day, all Americans
would: “Voluntarily and informally
observe in their own way a Moment of
Remembrance and respect [for the 1.8
million service men and women who have
given their lives for America since 1775],
pausing from whatever they are doing for
a moment of silence or reverence while
listening to the playing of ‘Taps.”
The President of the United States
stated: “Memorial Day represents one
day of national awareness and reverence,
honoring those Americans who died while
defending our Nation and its values…I
ask that all Americans come together to
recognize how fortunate we are to live
in freedom and to observe a universal
“National Moment of Remembrance”
on each Memorial Day. This memorial
observance represents a simple and
unifying way to commemorate our history
and honor the struggle to protect our
freedoms.
I encourage…Americans everywhere, to
pause for one minute at 3:00 p.m. (local
time) on Memorial Day, to remember and
reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to
provide freedom for all.”
William J. Clinton
The White House
December, 2000
Memorial Day for all soldiers is embodied
in the words of the oath that each takes
when first enlisted into the service of their
country:
I do solemnly swear that I will support and
defend the constitution of the united states
against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the
same; and that I will obey the orders of the
President of the United States and the orders
of the officers appointed over me, according to
regulations and the Uniform Code of Military
Justice. So help me god.
This oath is taken by each and every
soldier. It explains why soldiers do what
they do each and every day and why every
American is encouraged to observe the
National Moment of Remembrance.

Golf Tournament
Article Contributed by
WCA Hospital
Shortly after retiring from WCA
Hospital after more than 35 years of
dedicated service within the Radiology
Department, Vince Messina tragically
died. After his passing, Vince’s wife
Kathy created the Vincent A. Messina
Memorial Scholarship Fund to provide
scholarships to students enrolled in the
WCA Hospital School of Radiologic
Technology. Vince was a very proud
member of the radiology school’s first
graduating class in 1969 and loved the
game of golf.

Golf Tournament, go to WCA Hospital’s

together to sponsor, play or contribute to
the cause. Ames Insurance is the proud
sponsor of the event’s $5,000 hole-inone contest.
ACME the Appliance store has
generously donated a television set to
the cause. “We at ACME the Appliance

What I love about Jamestown:
I feel lucky as a lifelong Jamestown resident. The brutal winters only add to
the region’s uniqueness and our appreciation and enjoyment of springtime.
Jamestown’s resurgence credits the younger generation, not afraid to think
outside of the box. Their “no fear” dreams and ideas are bringing excitement
back to Jamestown. Mostly, I love Jamestown’s history… as an administrator
of the Facebook page “Classic Jamestown” my
heart skips every time we find and post new
historical pictures or fans post comments or personal
memories. As a woodworking hobbyist living in the
onetime “furniture capital” of the world, it is deeply
heartfelt every time I work on my grandfather Alfred
G. Pedersen’s workbench or walk past his handmade
kitchen cabinets in the home he built for his family. He
was lead quality control at Maddox Table Company;
no item of furniture ever shipped without his approval.

Cornell to Host Hops Conference
JCC, Penn College
Announce New

Cornell Cooperative
Extension
Cornell
Cooperative
Extension
Chautauqua County’s Lake Erie Regional
Grape Program is excited to announce
that the farm brewery legislation recently
passed in New York State, this has created
the need for locally grown brewing
materials; making hops one of the fastest
growing agricultural commodities in the
state. This has created a resurgence of
New York’s hops industry that, in 1849,
led the nation in hops production and
was selling over three million pounds
annually by 1855. Disease, insects and
finally prohibition, were responsible for
the collapse of the hops industry in New
York and its move to the Pacific Northwest,
where the majority of production remains
today.
The interest in hops production can be
seen in people from all walks of life, many
with little to no agricultural background or
production experience outside of a home
garden. Even those with an agricultural
background have little experience to call
upon when dealing with a perennial plant
that can grow over 20 feet tall in a single
season. To address the steep learning curve
for both of these groups regarding hops
production, processing and marketing, the
NYS IPM Program in conjunction with
the Lake Erie Regional Grape Program is
hosting a conference “Hops Production
in the Lake Erie Region”. While most
conferences are held during the dormant
season, this conference is planned to take
advantage of the two demonstrations
and research hop yards located at the
Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension
Laboratory (CLEREL) in Portland,
NY. Conference participants will have
the opportunity to learn about hops in
a classroom setting but will be able to
experience hops production in the field as
well.
The conference is scheduled for Friday,
June 26 and Saturday, June 27. Friday’s
agenda will focus on what you should
know before getting into hops, with
classroom and in-field opportunities to
learn first-hand the how’s’ and whys of
hops production. Saturday will provide
both the novice and experienced grower
the information they need to help them
become profitable in their hop growing
enterprise.
This conference will feature a number of
speakers that are both locally and nationally
known for their hops expertise. Featured
speakers include Mike Roy from Roy Farms
Inc. in Moxee Washington; Mary Gardiner,
Ohio State University; Beth Reed, Small
Business Development Center, Jamestown
CC; Steve Miller, Hops Educator with
Cornell Cooperative Extension; David
Spann of the Chautauqua County Soil
& Water Conservation District; Stephan
Schmidt, Schmidt Farm, Farmington, NY;
Michael Madison, Belle Terre Irrigation
and Dan Kamburoff, Columbus Irrigation
Company.
The conference starts at 9 AM and will
run until 4 PM each day. The CLEREL
meeting facilities, 6592 West Main Road,
Portland, NY 14769 will be used for the
classroom portion of the program. There
will be components of the program that
will take place in the hopyard (weather
permitting) so appropriate clothing is
suggested. Registration for the conference
is available for single days at $75/day with
a discounted rate of $125 when registering
for both days.
Jamestown Community College has

memorandum
of
understanding grants JCC graduates
guaranteed admission to most Penn
College majors and establishes guidelines
under which JCC graduates who are
New York state residents are eligible for
Penn College’s lower Pennsylvania instate tuition rate.
“JCC’s articulation agreements with
Penn College expand the ways in which
students can take advantage of academic
programs available at both institutions,”
said Marilyn A. Zagora, JCC’s vice
president of academic affairs. “This new
partnership creates additional pathways
to bachelor’s degrees for JCC graduates
and will assist our students in reaching
their career goals.”
Penn College, located in Williamsport,
PA, is an affiliate of Pennsylvania
State University committed to applied
technology education. The college has

Jamestown High School business students,
Dylan Glatz, Max Eimiller, Joe Ramos,
Christian Edborg, and Andrew Latona
recently attended the Pitch Perfect Business
competition at JCC’s Olean campus. JHS
students worked with other students from
regional schools to develop a new product
concept. The groups presented their
products to judges who ultimately picked
a winner and runner-up. Andrew Latona
was a member of the winning group and
Christian Edborg’s team was runner-up.
The students are taking JHS’ College
Connections Introduction to Business
through JCC taught by Dave Munella.
Students can select this course as part of
JHS’ Academy of Business, Management,
Marketing and Technology.
“We had an opportunity to add another
college level class to not only our
department, but the overall offerings
at Jamestown High School,” said Mr.
Munella. “The Introduction to Business
class was a natural fit taking the place of
Marketing. It allows me to expand upon
the concepts of how business plays an
important role in our everyday lives. The
students will receive not only their credit
toward graduation requirements, but
additionally, three college credits that
typically will transfer to most schools.”
Mr. Munella received an email from JCC
announcing the Pitch Perfect event and
thought it would be a great fit for his
students. “The Pitch Perfect event was a
wonderful opportunity for the students to
utilize real-life skills that they not only have
developed in the Introduction to Business
class, but also many other areas such
as public speaking. I have continuously
emphasized the need for them to
strengthen these areas as they move on to
college and their careers.”
The student groups created innovative
ideas including: an app that helps the
workforce, an online grocery app with
home delivery, a social media app called
MyCloset where clothes are stored and
people can match outfits, a power booster
for cell service, and a tap water filter similar
to Keurig’s coffee machines.

tricks that allow you to get the water where
you need it with a minimum of run off or

During prolonged dry spells, watering
in the evening allows plenty of time for
the water to soak down to the root zone
without competition from the hot sun.
Dishing the soil around the base of single
plants like tomatoes or planting row crops

water from running off and away from

17
harvests from crops that struggle under
those conditions, namely, leafy greens.
While many greens prefer cooler
temperatures, there are varieties (of lettuce
especially) that can tolerate heat without
bolting and becoming bitter. Including
some of these in your spring seed order
(or ordering them now) is a good idea. If
you grow spinach you know that it most
definitely is partial to a cooler season.
Switching to chard or some of the other
spinach substitutes that tolerate more heat
will also help keep the greens coming. And
while kale prefers things on the cool side,
it comes through the heat alright and then
picks up the pace again in the fall.
Keeping new plants coming to replace less
heat tolerant ones is a good way to have a
constant supply. Starting tender greens
can be a challenge during hot weather.
I usually start transplants in an area
protected from full sun. I do this either in
pots or by creating a little ‘salad nursery’
in a protected spot directly in the garden
where larger plants cast some shade and
help keep the soil relatively moist and cool.
I eventually move these starts to their final
resting place using an old teaspoon as a
mini-trowel, taking care to provide what
they need to cope with summer, using
some of the tips mentioned below.
Water conservation is important anytime
but it is even more important when the
water table is not being replenished with
rain. Mulch is a good way to keep your soil
from drying out too quickly. In fact, the
less bare soil you maintain in your garden
the better. Even weed cover can conserve
moisture by shading soil and preventing
it from baking and cracking in the sun.
Planting crops in blocks rather than long
narrow rows can help for the same reason.
in August 2016.” Tom Benson, National
Comedy Center chairmen
How you water is also important. While
drip lines are the Cadillac of dry weather
watering methods (especially under
large pop bottles, turning them into rootzone waterer that put moisture exactly
where it is needed. Using sprinklers in
most instances is an inefficient way to
water during hot weather due to increased
evaporation. If you must use a sprinkler in
that situation, do it in the early evening.
And remember in all cases that deep,
less frequent watering is better than just
moistening the surface. The goal should be
to have your top watering depth meet the
moisture coming from below with no dry
layer in between.
Shade is another way to protect heat
sensitive plants. You can take advantage of
taller plants and grow your greens on the
shady side or underneath (behind trellised
cucumbers is a good place). Creating
shade with commercial ‘shade cloth’
(available from garden supply companies)
or by propping up old screens or snow
fence over crops (especially young, newly
transplanted seedlings) will greatly
improve their quality.
I hope I’ve been able to provide you with
some solutions and make your hot weather
gardening a less stressful experience. And
less stress will help YOU keep your cool in
the garden. Enjoy the season!

Each year, the Center partners with the
Law, Youth and Citizenship Program
of the New York State Bar Association
to bring a young adult author to the
Center in celebration of the important
contribution young people’s literature
makes to lifelong literacy, education and
good citizenship.

surprises he encountered along the way.
In conjunction with the author’s
presentation, middle school students
were invited to participate in a statewide
essay contest based on Harper Lee’s
classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird.
Essay contest entrants were asked to tell
how Ms. Lee’s character, Atticus Finch
challenged the forces of racism and
discrimination while also explaining the
importance of Ms. Lee’s novel to their
own lives.
Three New York State 8th grade students
were recognized for their winning essays
at an awards dinner hosted at the Jackson
Center. Each winner was presented with
a $250 cash prize, a certificate, and an
autographed copy of Mockingbird in
recognition of their winning entries. The
contest winners were: Ariya Roberts,
Casey Middle School, Williamsville,

Stay Healthy

Cornell

Chautauqua County’s EFNEP Program
would like to offer some ways to stay
healthy. Good health is impossible without
good nutrition; you need a healthy
balanced diet. You may need to consider
your intake of salt, fats, and you should
watch your portion sizes. Include fruits
and vegetables in your diet, and vary what
you eat. Select whole-grain foods when
buying bread, cereals, pasta, or rice. These
are richer in nutrients and fiber than the
alternatives made from refined grains.
Watch your portions, eat small and lean
portions of meat and poultry and try to eat
fish a couple of times a week, if possible.
Avoid sugar and solid fats.

“Busti Bobby” Film
to be Shown at
Jackson Center
Article Contributed by
Stateline Legacy Fund
“Bobby Schnars - He’s the King – He’s like
Richard Petty”
Those words by Sammy LaMancuso, a
former racer at Stateline Speedway in
Busti, NY, depict the esteem that fellow
competitors and race fans felt for Bobby
Schnars at that NY-Pa. border oval from
1957-1977. For one to be likened to
Richard Petty, the greatest NASCAR racer
of all-time, is a comparison not to be given
or received lightly. Whenever Schnars,
driving one his famous M-1 cars, pulled
onto the oval at his hometown speedway,
he was greeted with a huge ovation. As one
of the most popular drivers in the history
of Stateline assumed his position at the
rear of the starting grid, the fans knew they
were in store for another patented charge
to the checkers by the talented Busti
throttle-stomper.
The Robert H. Jackson Center, 305 E. 4th
St., Jamestown, NY, will premiere “Busti
Bobby”, a documentary film chronicling
the legendary racing career of Bobby
Schnars, on Sunday, May 31st, at 2:00 p.m.
The movie, written and produced by Randy
Anderson, Greg Peterson and Randy
Sweeney, all of Lakewood, NY, highlights
the prolific stock car racing achievements
of one of the most accomplished race
car drivers in the 60 years of Stateline
Speedway.
Using video-taped interviews with Schnars,
his former pit crew, dozens of other racers,
the priceless picture collections of racing
photographers Gordon Mahan and Olen
Seidler, plus vintage home movies, the
film makers have brought to the screen the
fantastic racing years of the man known far
and wide for his talent behind the steering
wheel of a dirt-pounding stock car.
Schnars was honored and respected for
his mechanical genius and driving ability.
Although he competed at many other race
“Busti” Bobby Schnars with his
Racecar
tracks, Schnars’ main focus was at Stateline
and its sister track Eriez Speedway in
Erie, Pa. He racked up 181 feature race
victories and 25 track championships on
the Stateline-Eriez Circuit in just 20 years
of competition.
Following the viewing of the 72-minute
movie, Schnars will engage in a question
and answer session with the audience.
“Busti Bobby” is the third auto racing film
from Anderson, Peterson and Sweeney.
Their previous documentaries were
“Stateline Speedway - The First Ten Years,
1956-1964” released in 2010 and “Squirt,”
released in 2013.
The film “Busti Bobby” is a production of
the Stateline Legacy Fund of Jamestown,
NY in cooperation with the Chautauqua
Region Community Foundation and the
Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame. There
will be no admission charged. DVD copies
of the film will be available for purchase.

The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau
commemorated the 10th Anniversary of
the opening of the I-86 Rest Area Visitor
and Information Center with a luncheon
for volunteers at the Athenaeum Hotel at
Chautauqua Institution on Thursday. The
I-86 Rest Area Visitor and Information
Center opened in May 2005 through the
efforts of the New York State Department of
Transportation, Chautauqua County, and
the Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau.
Since then, a core group of approximately
30 volunteers, many from the Retired
Senior Volunteer Program (R.S.V.P.), and
Manager Michael Barnes have staffed the
Visitor and Information Center seven
days a week throughout the year. Two of
the volunteers at the luncheon, Evelyn
Hurlburt and John Swanson, have been
actively volunteering since its opening in
2005.
Andrew Nixon, director of the Chautauqua
County Visitors Bureau, welcomed guests,
Lisa Vanstrom, representing NYS Senator
Catherine Young, NYS Assemblyman
Andrew Goodell, Chautauqua County
Executive Vince Horrigan, and Darrell
Kaminski, regional director of the NYS
Department of Transportation. Nixon also
thanked Craig Mozrall, special projects
manager with the NYSDOT, Dwight
Mateer, regional utilities manager with the
NYSDOT, and Richard Babbage, former
Chautauqua County Legislator, who were
instrumental in developing the Rest Area
Visitor and Information Center in 2005.
Following the luncheon, Lisa Vanstrom
read a proclamation from Senator Young
commemorating Michael H. Barnes for 10
years of service at the Chautauqua Lake
Rest Area. Assemblyman Goodell then
spoke about the 400,000 visitors who
have been assisted by volunteers over the
last 10 years and the positive impact that
has had on Chautauqua County as well
as New York State. He stated, “35% of
people who stop at the Rest Area are first
time visitors”, adding that “65% are repeat
visitors.” Goodell especially thanked
volunteers for their efforts in staffing
the Center throughout difficult winters.
Elizabeth Rankin, a member of Goodell’s
staff and a Chautauqua County Legislator,
commented on how the Rest Area has
become a destination for visitors, a place to
take family and friends to watch the sunset,
have a picnic, and let the kids run around.
Stories about the volunteering experience
circulated amongst attendees. An often
cited comment was how many times
visitors declare that the Chautauqua Lake
Rest Area is the “most beautiful” and
the “cleanest” rest area they have ever
seen, a sentiment affirmed by each of the
speakers. Volunteers talked of meeting
visitors from as far away as Russia, Spain,
China and Germany. The Rest Area
facility has also played host to wedding
ceremonies, receptions, first dates, and is
an excellent spot to watch fireworks over
the lake. Cornelia Hennon, a volunteer
since 2007, summed up the experience,
saying, “volunteering at the Rest Area
is like going to a different world. You
stop feeling regional and become part of
something bigger.” A recent e-mail from
a rest area visitor affirmed the positive
impact volunteers are having, thanking
CCVB for “the courtesy extended to
(him) during a conversation with one of
the representatives. She certainly went out
of the way to provide me with as much
information as possible. I am confident
her extra effort will have a major positive
impact on the trip I am planning in your
area.”
The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau
recognizes Rest Area Volunteers for their
efforts at luncheons held three times each
year. For more information about the
Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau or

Area Information Center, call 716-3574569.

O
Last week, I discussed the “Deflategate”
scandal with the New England Patriots
and Tom Brady. At the time, the
punishment hadn’t been decided by the
National Football League. However,
several days ago the NFL came down
extremely hard on Tom Brady and the
Patriots. Brady has been suspended
for the first four regular season games
of next season, while the Patriots will
have to forfeit a 2016 first-round draft
pick and a 2017 fourth-round draft pick.
The team was also fined $1 million.
As of now, Brady plans to appeal the
suspension.
Now, the Patriots will most likely have
to begin their Super Bowl title defense
without their star quarterback. Four
games is a quarter of the NFL season. If
the Patriots stumble out of the gate due
to not having the services of Brady, that
could open up the AFC East for a team
like the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills
or New York Jets. The Dolphins, Bills
and Jets have all vastly improved over
the off-season. The Dolphins signed
Ndamukong Suh, who is arguably one
of, if not the best defensive players in the
game. I have chronicled some of the Bills
moves this off-season which included
trading for LeSean McCoy, re-singing
Jerry Hughes, and signing free agents
Percy Harvin and Charles Clay. The
Jets always have a formidable defense,
and they improved their offense this
off-season by acquiring wide receiver
Brandon Marshall.
The opportunity may now be there for
these hungry teams in the AFC East
to leapfrog the Patriots for supremacy
in the division. The Patriots first four
games next season are at home against
the Pittsburgh Steelers, on the road

against the Bills, at home against the
Jacksonville Jaguars, a bye week, and
then on the road against the Dallas
Cowboys. The Steelers, Bills, and
Cowboys were all over .500 last season,
so it wouldn’t be considered an easy start
to the season even if they had Brady at
quarterback.
Last year’s second round pick for the
Patriots, Jimmy Garoppolo, is expected
to start the season at quarterback in
New England if Brady’s suspension
holds. Garoppolo didn’t see a lot of
game action in his first season with the
Pats. He only had the chance to throw
27 passes during the regular season, and
threw for 182 yards and one touchdown.
He will certainly be thrown into the fire
if he is forced to start the season against
defenses like the Steelers and Bills.
As I said, Brady will appeal his
suspension. If he wins his appeal, the
suspension will either be reduced of
overturned. Even if the suspension is
reduced though, the Patriots will most
likely still have to rely on Garoppolo for
several games to start the season. Make
sure to stay up to date with Brady and
the Patriots reactions to the NFL’s harsh
punishment.

Susan Abers and crew members fertilize the fields
Abers Acres
Article Contributed by
Julia Eppehimer
“I grew up on a dairy farm,” Susan Abers,
co-owner of Abers Acres said. She met
her husband when they were both in a
4-H Club and both brought a cow of the
same name to the fair. “We thought we
were going to be dairy farmers,” she said.
Well, they didn’t turn out to be dairy
farmers. That was her father’s business,
so the Abers family had to set themselves
apart. Instead, they started to grow
strawberries.
“We both had a lot of interest in
landscaping,” she said. Susan and her
husband John thought they could start
a landscaping business, but being young
and hoping to make money faster, they
decided to plant something that would
yield a crop quickly. “We put in an early
field of strawberries because that was
something we could plant and it would
pay off quickly,” she explained.
They found they enjoyed growing fruit,
so they decided to keep it up. They also
found that they didn’t know that much
about growing strawberries. “You learn
a lot on your first field,” Susan laughed.
Faced with problems such as weeds and
insects, Susan and John searched for
any kind of solution they could find.
“Someone suggested geese,” she began to
explain. “So we bought like 10 geese to
help weed the strawberry field…Mostly
they ended up in the neighbor’s yard.”
Susan laughed as she recalled the geese
fiasco. “We made a lot of mistakes on
our first field, but now we’ve got it down
pretty well.”
Their farm was first opened in 1984 at
their primary location on Route 394. All
of their crops are grown around this area,
where their original fruit stand is still
located, as well as a year-round store in
the front room of their home.
They began with very simple crops:
strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.
Now they sell a wide variety of products,
including baked goods that are made
locally, all with fruits grown on the Abers
Acres farm. They are a certified organic
farm; all of their products are grown
organically, without any weed killers or
pesticides.
“We don’t spray for weeds,” Susan
explained. “All of our land is cultivated
or hand-worked.” A good portion of their
land is used to build up fertility, rather
than to grow crops. “About half our land
is a cover crop,” Susan explained. “It’s
planted, but the seed is dug into the soil
to build fertility…We have to prepare
land years ahead of time.”
But the extra work to avoid chemicals
is worth it. “We’ve discovered it’s very
feasible to farm without weed killer…
It all works together in a cycle,” Susan
declared. “Weeds aren’t all that bad…
Let nature work together.”
The Abers are able to employ local
help during the harvest season to hand
pick all the weeds. “We have five or six
kids weeding,” Susan said. She is glad
to be able to give young people the
opportunity to build up a strong work
ethic.
While they are busy weeding their fields
of berries and vegetables, three fields
of Evergreens are slowly growing into
Christmas trees. “It takes about eight
years for a spruce and 10 years for a fir
tree to grow into a good-sized Christmas
tree,” Susan said.
Being a farmer requires a great deal of
patience. And a great deal of long days.
On cold spring nights, John stays awake
to keep an eye on the overhead irrigation
system, which continuously sprays water
over the crops to protect them from
freezing when the temperatures get too
low. They only have about 20 minutes
to restart the system if the water stops
spraying before the crop freezes, so John
keeps watch, guarding the berries all
night long.
Susan and John, along with their son
Adam, work hard to manage the farm
and continue the business, which has
now spread to Warren, the local grocery
stores and numerous farmers markets.
“When we started, we were this little
stand with pick-your-own strawberries,”
Susan said. But Abers Acres is, after all, a
growing business.
Their fruit stand opens as soon as the
first strawberry crop is ready, usually at
the beginning of June. With the colder
year, Susan predicts the stand will open
around June 10. Their sales room is open
all year round and is right inside their
house on Route 394 in Kennedy, NY.
They still offer a pick-your-own option
in their fields at 409 Grub Hill Road.
In Warren, their stand is located at the
corner of US Route 62 and Jackson
St. They also sell their products at
the Farmers Market in downtown
Jamestown, June through October. To
reach the Abers by phone, call 716-2672431.
