Tax Dollars Going to Work
What Will April 15th Buy?
Submitted by:
Walt Pickut
Plan ahead! April 15, Tax Day, is just around
the corner. At this time of year taxpayers begin
to wonder where all the dollars are going.
Everybody knows where they come from,
taxpayers’ wallets. Running a city, county, state
and nation isn’t free, so getting good value for
every dollar is paramount.
Economy Begins at Home

for full copies of back issues,
extra content, and more!
Taxpayers and industries in the United States
will earn an estimated $18.5 trillion in 2015.
That’s a pretty big pay check. An old adage says,
“It costs money to make money,” and projections
predict taxes, the money we take in to run the
country, will be only 33 percent of our income,
$6.1 trillion. By some accounts, that’s not a bad
deal.
However, only about half of the tax dollars go to
Washington, the rest stays at home with states
and towns. That’s why the US government
borrows money to keep running. The bill for last
year is due on April 15. Tax payers appreciate
thrift in how their taxes are spent.
Jamestown’s budget, for instance, is pegged to a
plan which minimizes “tax and spending creep.”
Money spent last year is not the basis of what
to spend next year. According to Mayor Sam
Teresi, “…every single expenditure and revenue
line item in the 2015 budget, regardless of what
has been allocated in past years, began at the
zero point, and is based on hard documentation
and/or our best forecast of the actual needs for
the coming fiscal year.”
This policy, now in its 15th year, was adopted in
June, 2000 as part of the City’s Fiscal Recovery
Plan to “provide adequately for the mandated
and essential municipal services.” The proposed
spending allocations are shown on the chart in
Jamestown’s 2015 proposed budget submitted
on October 8, 2014. (see page 15)
Buyer Beware
In President Obama’s State of the Union
address last week, he promised, “Middle-class
economics works. Expanding opportunity
works. And these policies will continue to work,
as long as politics don’t get in the way.”
Two time-honored ways for taxpayers to
influence Washington politics are voting and
contacting their representatives. A third way to
control personal taxes is to spend tax returns
wisely.
In 2014, nearly 50 million US taxpayers, out of
the nearly 60 million tax filings, received a tax
return of overpaid taxes. Each return averaged
more than $3,000. In total, that was nearly $150
billion pumped back into tax payers’ pockets
and the nations’ economy. Most tax returns
are spent locally, in taxpayers’ hometowns; tax
returns boost local Continued on Page 15
2015 State of the State Address
Article Submitted by
Walt Pickut
of Governor Cuomo’s recent 2015 State of the State address and
budget plan. “I won’t read you the entire book,” he said displaying
the 3” thick volume, “or the entire 90 minute speech.” Zemsky did,
however, enthusiastically describe in brief many of the highlights.
Howard Zemsky, who came to Jamestown representing Governor
Cuomo, was well recommended by a trio of the region’s most
notable leaders who introduced him to a gathering at the Jamestown
Savings Bank Ice Arena on Friday evening.
Of primary importance was the fact that previously, New York’s
spending had significantly outpaced both inflation and income
growth for many years. Governor Cuomo’s administration,
according to Zemsky, has now reversed the spending trend from a
previous 6.8% annual increase rate down to a manageable and progrowth 1.3%.
New York State Assemblyman Andy Goodell, Chautauqua County
Executive, Vince Horrigan and Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi
introduced Zemsky as co-chair of the WNY Regional Council for
Economic Development, among many other distinctions, and as
Governor Cuomo’s newly appointed President and CEO of Empire
State Development Corporation (ESDC) and Commissioner of
Economic Development.
Zemsky, instrumental in many advancements and economic
development projects across Western New York, was also
welcomed by Todd Tranum, President and CEO of the Chautauqua
County Chamber of Commerce who identified three top regional
priorities in which
he looked forward to

The manufacturing tax rate for small businesses has also been
decreased from 6.5 to 2.5%, the lowest it has been since 1917. While
lowering many tax rates, which is aimed to increase new business
startups and movement into New York State, specific spending has
been targeted at expanding New York’s global exports.

Center.
Key targets for enhanced development will also include educational
excellence and affordability, from pre-K all the way through the
SUNY community college and university system. Governmental
reform and greater fairness within the criminal justice system
are slated for higher future priorities along with the educational
initiatives.

Prendergast Library will celebrate Take Your
Child to the Library Day Feb. 7 with an
author visit, technology demonstrations, and
a variety of drop-in family activities.
“We hope families will join us for fun activities
all day long,” said Director Tina Scott.
Jamestown native Deborah Bolling will
conduct a poetry writing session from 1 to 2
p.m. and sign copies of her book “Wonders”
from 2 to 3 p.m.
“A lot of times kids are interested in where
authors get ideas and how they put those ideas
into writing,” she said.
In simple rhyming text accompanied by
the beautifully detailed illustrations of Wes
Bossman, “Wonders” invites children to
look at nature and marvel at the intricacies of
creation.

“I have always enjoyed sharing my love of
God, nature and poetry with children and
now have the joy of sharing these things with
my grandchildren,” she said.
Throughout the book, corresponding Bible
verses are presented as caterpillars become
butterflies, flowers bloom, and stars twinkle in
the night sky.
Mrs. Bolling and her husband Eric are
both retired from teaching careers in the
Jamestown Public Schools. She is currently in
ministry at New Creation Assembly of God
church in Jamestown and serves on the Board
of Directors for the Reg Lenna Center for the

What I love about Jamestown:
While it’s easy to overlook all the great things your hometown has to offer, Jamestown
has much to appreciate. Growing up in Jamestown I take pride in the many historical
contributions this area has made, from manufacturing innovations to national and
global precedents led by individuals who call Jamestown home. Challenge yourself
to find out who these companies and individuals were, maybe they will inspire you
to excel. While the past is something to be proud of,
it’s what Jamestown offers today that makes it a great
and interesting place to live, work and play. Jamestown
is rich with opportunities in business, abundance of
natural assets, arts, entertainmen and recreation. Since
returning to the area after college, I am a founder of the
Chautauqua Lake Rowing Association, married the
love of my life, and opened my own business, Sixbey
Insurance Agency LLC.
As the winner of Prendergast Library’s giveaway from Doors Open Jan. 17, Jane
Kiendl of Jamestown, right, receives a bagful of books, including a title by one of
her favorite authors, from Librarian Liz Gruber.

What are You
Buying?
“I like to pay taxes. With them, I buy civilization,”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of the United States, said not
long before his death in 1935. He felt so strongly
about that, he willed his
estate to the United States
government.

told effectively enough that they have huge power

choice.”

What’s your “Moral
Choice” when it comes
to paying your taxes and
buying your civilization?
How’s that as a wakeup
call for those of us who
put off doing our taxes
until April 14?
This week the Jamestown
Gazette invites you to
look behind the curtain
and see who is spending
your money. It’s the
people you voted for.
Voting wisely and paying
the bill for everything
we value are two of the
greatest privileges and
responsibilities
of
civilization.
What is that thing Oliver
bought with his taxes? He
called it civilization. Well,
we are all going to buy
some more of it again on
April 15. Since tax time is
coming, it might be good
to know how much
civilization
your
dollars will buy this
year.
Civilization
has
been defined as “…
an advanced human
society with lofty
culture,
science,
industry
and
government.” I hope
that sounds good to
you. Our civilization,
however,
also
produces – or at least fails to consistently prevent –
large-scale warfare, slavery and starvation.
Maybe that’s why there are so many opinions for
and against paying our “fair share.”

This year, as you
prepare your tax
returns again – as
you prepare to loan
your credit card to
somebody one more
time – let it prompt
you attend just one
more school board
meeting or one
more town council
meeting or to get to
know one more elected official in your city or state
or country than you did last year.
You and I are paying for the shopping spree, but
we’re never quite sure who is doing the shopping.
Someone recently told me paying his taxes was like
loaning his credit card to his teenager.
April 15 this year may give you the best reason ever
for reading those election fliers that land in your
mail box every time a politician wants to get elected
or re-elected. They are like reading the menu at the
American Restaurant…see what you are getting
before you pay the bill.

JOIN ME IN THE KITCHEN with Vicki McGraw
Left-over Roast
Chicken Soup
Contributing Writer
Vicki McGraw
Again with the weather…how crazy has
it been? Really cold, then warm, then
really cold again; Wow! The only thing
I can think to do is make soup! OK, so
maybe warmer weather doesn’t make us
immediately think of soup (although I
do love a good batch of gazpacho), the
cold weather certainly does. Nothing
says comfort food on a cold day more
than a steaming hot bowl of homemade
soup.
This past weekend, WCA Hospital
partnered with Maplevale Farms, the
Media One Group and seventeen
local restaurants and caterers to host
the fourth annual “SOUP-er Bowl”
fundraising event to benefit the hospital.
I happily joined the event, choosing to
offer two of my favorite homemade soup
creations, Lobster, Crab and Roasted
Corn Chowder and White Chicken
Chili, into the competition for the title
of Favorite soup. Little did I know there
would be such stiff competition this
year!
I can turn them into a hearty meal. Left
over pot roast, potatoes and veggies,
added to a simple stock or loose gravy
become a delicious soup or stew. Left
over rotisserie chicken and a little
brown rice? Add a carton of chicken
broth (I prefer low sodium varieties)
and voila! Homemade chicken and rice
soup, better, not to mention cheaper,
than you will get from a can. A forlorn
stuffed pepper and a little V-8 juice can
be transformed into a quick and easy
stuffed pepper soup.
You might be wondering, what is the
difference between soups and stews…
soup and stew are similar, yet there
are a few significant differences. Soup
typically is a “quick cook” food, meaning
it is made with a liquid broth and
has meat, fish or veggies added. Stew
is typically a longer cooked, thicker
version. Stew is generally prepared by
simmering in a closed vessel (such as
a Dutch oven or crock pot) for a long
time, several hours or more. Because of
the long cook time, some of the liquid
will evaporate leaving the broth thicker.
Stews also tend to be chunkier, with
more large pieces of meat and veggies. I
like to follow Rachel Ray’s example and
create a “stoup” or quick cooked soup
that is thick and chunky like a stew.
Back to the “SOUP-er Bowl” for a final
thought; there were hundreds people
in attendance that day. Everyone had
a terrific time sampling the wonderful
soups we all had to offer, but in the end
only one choice could win, and those of
us involved offer our many thanks to all
who came out to support the event!
Variety abounded in the types of
soup offered. Numbering near thirty
varieties in all, there were several types
of chicken wing soup (stiff competition,
I might add), as well as many other
unique varieties of soups. From Prime
Rib vegetable soup and Roasted Red
Pepper Vegetable soup to Baked Potato
Soup, Rueben Soup and Broccoli
Cheese Soup…the options were far
from your basic can of chicken noodle!
These cooks put thought and flavor
together to come up with some of the
tastiest concoctions you can imagine.
From hearty meat soups and vegetarian
friendly choices, if you walked out
hungry, you had no one to blame but
yourself!!
Left-over Roast Chicken Soup
Soup making is one of my favorite
creative processes…you can start
with something as simple as a pot of
vegetable or chicken stock and turn it
into a hearty flavor-fest. Soup making
is also a great way to make use of leftovers. I love to find all of the “dibs and
dabs” I have in my fridge and see how

SKF Hosts Dream It
Do It Teacher Tour
Article Contributed by
Chautauqua County
Chamber Of Commerce
A group of teachers belonging to The New
York State Technology and Engineering
Educators’ Association (NYSTEEA) recently
toured SKF Aeroengine in Falconer as part of
a Dream It Do It Professional Development
Tour. Dream It Do It coordinates these
opportunities for educators, seeing these
professional development tours as invaluable
for teachers to make connections for students
about the content being taught and real world
application. Dream It Do It is a workforce
development initiative designed to eliminate
the misperceptions of manufacturing careers.
Justin Hanft, Dream It Do It Coordinator said,
“It is amazing the science, the technology,
the engineering, the mathematics and the
advanced skill sets that it takes to make the
products of today. Until you are exposed to
that information and see it in process it is hard
to fully understand.”
NYSTEEA is a professional association of
technology educators working to ensure
the technological literacy of New York State
students.
SKF Aeroengine is the largest producer of
Aeroengine bearings in the world and they
are located in Falconer, New York, most
commonly remembered as MRC Bearings.
This engineering brilliance and manufacturing
excellence that engraved SKF as the standard
in the Aeroengine bearings industry was
showcased to a group of ten Chautauqua
County Technology Teachers as they
participated in a Dream It Do It Professional
Development Tour.
In this well-organized tour, and after a company
background presentation, plant engineers
Tom Lunz and Craig Potwin lead teachers
through the various channels of the facility.
The engineers explained the production
and manufacturing phases of process as
well as product design, development, finish,
and quality control/assurance that had to
meet customers’ specifications. Mr. Potwin
also highlighted the importance of having
potential employees pass basic skills exams.
These exams would consist of math, science,
basic logic, mechanical aptitude, reading
and understanding a blue print views &
dimensions, design tolerances, as well as good
communication skills before any candidate
is considered for employment in this,
world-class, state-of-the-art, and high tech
environment.
Silver Creek Technology Teacher Jamie
Francisco was asked if this type of opportunity
was helpful for him as an educator and he
replied, “This might be one of the single most
important aspects of being an educator these
days in this discipline. We have a trainable
workforce looking for challenging, goodpaying careers yet there is a disconnect to the
employers in technology.”
These three organizations will once again join
forces in the upcoming STEM Wars & Career
Search event presented by Dream It Do It and
the NYSTEEA Chautauqua County Chapter
hosted at Jamestown Community College on
March 18th.

Watching the
Superbowl
Christine Kibbe, Love, INC Executive Director, volunteer Dan Swensen, Rev. Luke
Fodor, Rector, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church.
Contributing Writer
Pastor Shawn Hannon
Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to have a hard time watching the Super
Bowl this year. If you have turned on the television to ESPN, CNN, or even
the View in the last week, you have no doubt heard the news surrounding
‘Deflategate.’ On Sunday, January 18th, the Patriots beat the Colts—excuse
me, the Patriots beat down the Colts—45 to 7. But in a style we all want
to suspect, they did so using 11 of 12 balls deflated below league standards.
Long story short: They cheated. Again.
Now believe it or not the Bible actually has something to say about it. 2
Timothy 2:5 reads, “And in the case of an athlete, no one is crowned without
competing according to the rules.” Can anyone say *ASTERISK*?
But now that my angry Bills’ fan rant is over (and let’s face it, that’s all this is),
let me explain why I’m actually going to have a hard time watching the Super
Bowl this year. It’s actually the same reason I have a hard time watching the
Super Bowl every year. I cannot believe we live in a world where a 30 second
commercial costs 4 million dollars. I cannot believe we live in a world where
each team’s payroll this year was 133 million dollars, and where the winning
players will still see a payday of $92,000 (Sorry losers, it’s only $42,000 for
you). I cannot believe we live in a world where 3 times as many people will
tune in to see Katy Perry sing at half time, as tuned into the President’s State
of the Union last week. I can’t believe the average consumer will spend $68
on Sunday for food, gear, and suds, and that 7 million of us will call into work
the next day.
And I’m not sure any of those things are inherently bad or evil. But the
problem is on Monday I will encounter a world that falls short of that. On
Monday I will again encounter a world where 120 million Americans aren’t
stuffing their faces, but where 51 million Americans will wonder where their
next meal is coming from, and where far too many of them are children. I
will again hear people complain about an increasing minimum wage (which
I get! But remember a bunch of guys made $92,000 for one night’s work, and
we pretend there isn’t money for someone to make $30,000 for working all
year). I will again hear about this so called recession after watching a night of
extravagance on every level.
The real cancer affecting our society today is not the fall of our role models. It’s
not that people like Tom Brady are gaining a competitive edge by unethical
means. Our role models have always fallen short. The real cancer affecting
our society is the gap between those with and those without that continues
to grow while we bury our noses in our 60 inch flat screens. Now is the day to
do something about it.
So you may be wondering, what are we supposed to do about it? Stop watching
the Super Bowl? Absolutely not. We need as many people as possible rooting
against Bill Belichick and the Patriots. But there is something you can do
about it. There is always something we can do about it. We can incorporate a
charity element into our Super Bowl parties. We can give away the winnings
from our gambling squares. Forget our leftovers, we can provide as much
food to a needy or homeless family before the big game as we are buying
for ourselves. We can donate money to our local food pantry, Boys and Girls
Club, or charity of our choice. The options are endless.
The way to bring healing to our nation, peace to our world, and hope to our
children is not by crucifying Tom Brady, but by being the example ourselves.

Love, INC Feels the Love
of St. Luke’s Church
During the Holidays
Article Contributed by
Love INC.
Love INC. (In the Name of Christ ) and
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church partnered to
share God’s love this past Christmas season
by helping families provide gifts for their
children. With the assistance of Jamestown
Chapter of Credit Unions, Bethel Baptist
Church and Maple Grove High School,
who donated the toys and some funds to
purchase the wrapping paper, and Allied Fire
Protection, who provided gifts and financial
assistance, Love INC ensured that over 75
children received gifts who might not have
otherwise.
Christine Kibbe, Love, INC’s Executive
Director was ecstatic about the partnership
with St. Luke’s this year. “It has always been
my vision to have a place where we could
give our clients a relaxed and personal
shopping experience. When I expressed my
dream to Luke Fodor, Rector of St Luke’s, he
immediately offered St Luke’s as a location.”
Ms. Kibbe explained. “I cannot express
just how thankful I am for their efforts. The
weekend went off without a hitch. The
volunteers were helpful and happy to be
there.”
St Luke’s central location and large undercroft
provided space for parents to come in and
leisurely shop for their children’s gifts.
Parishioners provided festive holiday
refreshments and helped families wrap their
presents. Members of the church’s Youth
Group assisted shoppers with their selections.
Rev. Fodor was enthusiastic about having St.
Luke’s join the partnership this year. “We all
have been given many gifts and we are excited
to be able to share some of what we’ve been
given by opening our beautiful building to
community. This was an excellent opportunity
for us to live out what the Christmas season
is all about by giving to those in need,” he
remarked.
“It felt really good to actually see the people
that we were helping when we wrapped the
presents.” said one of St Luke’s parishioners
who participated in the event. “Many times
when we make donations we don’t really
experience the results of our gifts. Having
a chance to visit with the parents who were
shopping for their children and hearing them
express their appreciation was very rewarding.
I hope that we continue to be involved in this
event every year!”
Love INC has a mission to serve the poor
and the needy in the greater Jamestown
area through compassion, collaboration,
generosity and action. Through relational
ministry, Love INC helps individuals and
families make lasting changes in their lives by
linking church members with those in need
on a long-term basis to provide mentoring
and spiritual and emotional support, along
with a full array of material resources. Using
the clearinghouse model in mobilizing over
30 local churches to transform lives and
communities in the name of Christ, Love INC
refers clients to the most appropriate network
church, volunteer or agency to meet the needs
of the disadvantaged and under-resourced.
In 2014, Love INC mobilized over 300
volunteers from 32 partner churches.
Volunteers help meet address the needs of
over 250 families by transporting people
to medical appointments, shopping for
groceries for those who need the assistance,
visiting a shut in for companionship, helping
with a monthly budget, car repairs, home
repairs, moving help, and donating furniture,
appliances, and household goods. “We are
able to accomplish so much with the help of
our volunteers,” Ms. Kibbe says. “Most of our
resources come from those that sit in the pews
on a Sunday and want to make a difference
in someone’s life. We also partner with local
agencies when other resources are needed.
Our goal is to provide specific manageable
opportunities for people to volunteer.”

JBC Students Raise Money for
Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue
Article Contributed by
Jamestown Business College
Throughout the Fall 2014 term at Jamestown
Business College, Mr. Melquist’s and Mrs.
Reisenweber’s Marketing classes promoted
and sold products to the JBC and surrounding
communities. The two class collaborated on
some of the project to reach the same goal –
To market products that provide value to its
customers. In deciding this goal, they decided
that their profits should support a cause in the
county that more people should be aware of.
Both classes decided that their proceeds would
be donated to the Northern Chautauqua
Canine Rescue of Westfield, NY. Through
research, surveying the student body, and
analyzing the data, students decided to sell
JBC tumblers, JBC sweatshirts, JBC blankets
with a Northern Chautauqua Canine Rescue
logo hand-made by a JBC student, and JBC
t-shirts with the same NCCR logo. Students
were able to apply the principles they learned
in a real world project to raise over $1,200 and
supplies, such as dog food, bathing supplies,
treats, and much more. The efforts the students
made were outstanding. All proceeds, totaling
$1,282.50, went to the Northern Chautauqua
Canine Rescue, a not-for-profit organization,
no-kill shelter for dogs. Both classes would
like to thank everyone involved who helped
them to be a part of this opportunity and who
aided them in learning and raising money for
such a wonderful organization.

Cancer can rob a woman of her energy, appetite and strength. But it doesn’t have to take
away her self-confidence. Look Good Feel Better is a free program that offers female
cancer patients in active treatment techniques to restore their self-image and cope with
appearance-related side effects. Certified cosmetologists provide tips on make-up, skin
care, nail care, and teach women how to cope with skin changes and hair loss by using
new, donated cosmetic kits that patients are able to keep. Women also learn ways to
disguise hair loss with scarves and other accessories.
In collaboration with the WCA Hospital, sessions of the American Cancer Society’s ‘free’
Look Good Feel Better program will take place at the following locations and dates:
DATE:
Monday, February 9, 2015
TIME:
4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
LOCATION:
WCA Hospital Cancer Treatment Center, Conference Room
51 Glasgow Ave. Jamestown, NY 14701
“Our free program teaches women ways to help them with appearance-related side
effects,” said Toni DeAngelo, R.N., Community Health and Wellness Director and
certified patient navigator at WCA Hospital. “Our goal is to create an environment
where women join together in a celebration of courage, hope and beauty. We are very
excited to partner with the American Cancer Society in making women look and feel
beautiful and confident on their road to recovery. We encourage women of all ages to
experience our workshop how they can apply makeup and skincare that help them look
and feel their best on their road to survivorship.”
Look Good Feel Better is free BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Walk-ins cannot
be accommodated. For more information or to register, please call the American
Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345. The American Cancer Society is a good resource
for information about cancer-related appearance changes as well as all other cancer
information. To learn more visit www.cancer.org .

MOPS Celebrates
2015
Article Contributed by
MOPS, Mothers of Pre-Schoolers
MOPS, Mothers of Pre-Schoolers, celebrated the New Year with their annual brunch
at Hillcrest Baptist Church on Thursday, January 15. The Jamestown chapter of
MOPS is one of more than 3900 MOPS meeting across the United States and in 35
countries around the world.
MOPS is a grassroots movement that believes moms are world influencers and
better moms make a better world. “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed as a new mom,” said
coordinator for the Hillcrest group, Ella Montaygne, “but just a little time with other
moms going through the same things is amazing. It’s a rescue!” Two hours with other
moms and free child care twice a month, she explained, can be a life saver. It’s great
“Me time.”
(Left to right) Seated: Krista Rose, Nina Bell (new mentor mom), Shaina
Sullivan, Erin Coulter. Second row standing: Meagan: Jude, Dora Wedlock
(mentor mom), Ella Montaygne (Coordinator), Boon Coon, Jennifer
Sherman, Maria Olson. Third row: Kelli Lindboom, Kelly Inman (Hospitality),
Kelly Sherlock, Jada Martinez (Discussion leader), Laura Penhollow
(Discussion leader). Not pictured but present Helen Lamb and Sonya
Stratton (Discussion leader).
According to the MOPS website, www.mops.org/, “MOPS groups are rallying
women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by
journeying alongside one another…by preschoolers we mean kiddos from birth
through kindergarten.”
MOPS invites moms to Hillcrest Baptist Church, 40 Hallock St., Jamestown, on
the 1ST & 3RD Thursday of every month, 9:30-11:30am, except days when the
Jamestown schools are closed. To learn more, call (716) 483-3331.

ENJOY THE SUPERBOWL!
Super Bowl Preview
Defending Champs Meet Red Hot
Patriots February 1st in Arizona
Contributing Writer
Cody Crandall
As defending champion, I think it’s safe
to say the Seattle Seahawks have taken
the best shot of every team they have
faced this season. From their week two
loss to the San Diego Chargers, to their
miraculous comeback victory recently
in the NFC Championship game against
the Green Bay Packers, Seattle has had
a tough go of it this season. But, they
caught fire and haven’t loss since week
12. And here they are representing the
NFC in the Super Bowl for the second
straight season.
Representing the AFC, you have the
New England Patriots. The Patriots
are coming off of a 45-7 drubbing of
the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC
Championship game, but are currently
facing allegations that they used deflated
balls throughout the game which in turn
makes the ball easier to grip and control.
Allegations aside, the Patriots have had
a great season led by Tom Brady and Bill
Belichick, who are seeking their fourth
Super Bowl ring together.
This is a great match-up that almost
certainly will not disappoint. On one
side you of course have the New England
legends in Brady and Belichick. On the
other side, you have the Seahawks fierce
and relentless defense that arguably may
be one of the best Brady and Belichick
have ever encountered. Will Brady be
able to throw the ball down field against
the likes of Earl Thomas and Richard
Sherman? That will be something to
keep an eye on in this one. Will the
New England running game, featuring
LeGarrette Blount who scored three
touchdowns in the AFC championship
game, be able to move the ball against
Seattle’s tough front line?
For Seattle on offense, what kind of
performance can we expect from Russell
Wilson? The young quarterback threw
four interceptions against the Packers
in the NFC Championship, but then
bounced back in the blink of an eye to
lead his team to yet another Super Bowl
appearance. Wilson played great in the
Super Bowl last season, and will need to
play well again in order for the Seahawks
to become back to back champs.
There are plenty of other players that
could potentially have huge impacts on
the outcome of this game. From Rob
Gronkowski, to Marshawn Lynch, to
Darrelle Revis, to Kam Chancellor,
the talent on both sides of the field is
immense and close. Look for the team
that can avoid turnovers and sustain
long drives to have a slight advantage.
Here are some interesting statistics to
think about as the big game approaches.
In their last eight games, the Seahawks
have outscored their opponents 130-26
in the second half of those games. That
is a +104 point differencial! However,
the Patriots and their underrated
defense has been just as clutch when
it has mattered most, and has only
surrendered 12 points combined in the
fourth quarters of their last eight games.
Both of these teams just simply know
how to win. That is what makes this
game so intriguing. The NFL’s two top
seeds from each respective conference
are meeting on the NFL’s biggest stage
where there can only be one winner.
So sit back, relax and enjoy. This one is
going to be fun to watch.

Frewsburg Rest Home Residents
Donate to Local Organizations
Article Contributed by
Tanglewood Group
Residents of the Frewsburg Rest Home
turned their attention to the local community
during the past holiday season and beyond
by making several charitable contributions to
area organizations.
Their efforts actually began last summer when
residents sold cookies during community
events. Supplies for the cookies were provided
by the facility and the $575 that was raised
was used to make monetary donations to the
Meyers Memorial Library, St Susan’s Center,
Community Helping Hands, the Frewsburg
Fire Department, Chautauqua-Cattaraugus
Library System Outreach the Salvation Army
and the Chautauqua County Humane Society
during the month of December. This month,
in addition to the gifts of money, the residents
also donated 25 gently used blankets to the
Humane Society.
Brittany Anderson, Activities Director for
the facility recognizes that this area is where
most of the residents grew up and raised their
own families. “It doesn’t stop being THEIR
community just because they have changed
addresses or need more assistance with daily
living.” she states. “Participating in activities
that benefit others is very rewarding to them.”
she adds. Ms. Anderson strongly feels that her
residents are a caring group of people who
do not want to be seen as a burden. Their
community spirit also gives them a sense of
pride. “They like being recognized for the
good deeds that they do!” she proclaims.
The residents enjoy the camaraderie that they

feel with each other and the causes that they
serve. Living in a community setting serves
to increase their generous and caring energy.
One elderly gentleman made the following
observation; “I actually do more active
things here than I did when I was in my own
apartment!” Another added “Even though we
need some assistance, there are still people
out there who can use our help.” Working
together to help others has enriched the lives
of each resident, not only keeping them busy
but making them feel valued. “Helping others
makes life worth living” one of the ladies in
the group remarked. “People help us so much
it is nice to return the favor!”
The Rest Home’s owner, the Tanglewood
Group, was also a part of the community
giving this past year, donating $5,000 to The
Relief Zone, Inc., a community youth center
located in the village of Frewsburg. “We are
very excited to become involved with the
local community on a more intimate level as a
result of our acquisition, “ said Terri Ingersoll,
Tanglewood’s Chief Operating Officer. “It is
wonderful to witness our resident’s sense of
accomplishment and pride as a result of all of
our charitable endeavors.”
The Frewsburg Rest Home is located at 106
Main Street, Frewsburg, NY, and is a part of the
Tanglewood Group family of residences. The
Tanglewood Group has been offering quality
care to seniors in the greater Jamestown area
for over 30 years. For more information

Kent Knappenberger, of Westfield Academy
and Central School in Westfield, N.Y., has
devoted himself to bringing the joy of genuine
music to young lives in a way that lives and
breathes. Kent is the recipient of the first
annual Music Educator Award presented by
The Recording Academy and the GRAMMY
Foundation. The award was established to
recognize current educators (kindergarten
through college, public and private schools)
who have made a significant and lasting
contribution to the field of music education
and who demonstrate a commitment to the
broader cause of maintaining music education
in schools.
It is an honor to have this man and his family
back on our stage. They make beautiful Celtic
music, different than any we’ve ever had
before.
Ashley Brooke Toussant’s natural and
uncontrived music, best described as
atmospheric rather than belted, recalls
songwriters like Jewel from the recent past
and a bit further back, Melanie, but still,
there is no one like Ashley. Her music is
wryly intimate and cutely profound. If “cutely
profound” sounds paradoxical to you, you’re
on the right track. And if she doesn’t win your
heart, maybe we’d better talk. The Cleveland
singer-songwriter has charmed stages all
over Northeastern Ohio and the rest of the
country.

Tracy Martin to present,
‘The Trayvon Martin Story,’
at Fredonia in February
Article Contributed by
SUNY Fredonia
Crawford, Tamir Rice, and others, have
sparked national conversations about race
relations in the U.S.
As part of the observance of Black History
Month, the State University of New York
at Fredonia will host, “The Trayvon Martin
Story,” by Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, on
Wednesday, Feb. 11.
In his presentation, Martin will share a
message to all parents of how important it
is to let children know how much they are
valued and loved, no matter how they are
depicted in society. He also will emphasize
the importance of proper conflict resolution
techniques, suggesting tools that his audience
might employ in both their personal and
professional lives. By sharing his personal and
powerful stories, he will encourage groups to
remain educated and continue conversations
about civil rights in order to become catalysts
for social justice.
The event is free and open to the public in
King Concert Hall. Doors will open at 6:30
p.m. and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m.,
to be followed by a brief reception.
Led by the Black Student Union, Fredonia is
emphasizing social justice as one of several
themes during the month-long observance,
and feels that Mr. Martin will make an
important contribution to the discussion.
Martin lost his son, Trayvon, in 2012,
following a confrontation with neighborhood
watch captain George Zimmerman. With
a focus on transforming the tragedy into
positive change, Martin now works to ensure
the protection of all of children. Trayvon’s
death and the deaths of Eric Garner, John
Martin’s appearance at Fredonia is sponsored
by the Black Student Union, the President’s
Office, the Ethnic Studies Program, the
Department of Sociology, Anthropology,
Social Work and Criminal Justice; the Dean
of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences;
the Women’s Student Union; and the Office

JBC Students Earn Top Ranking
in Simulated Business Strategy
Article Contributed by
Jamestown Business College
Business students at Jamestown Business
College ( JBC) recently earned a Global
Top 25 ranking for their strategic business
decisions in the Business Strategy Game
(BSG) simulation. The game’s founders,
Art Thompson, Greg Stappenbeck, and
Mark Reidenbach sent students and their
instructor, Joseph Pillittere, a congratulatory
letter informing them of this accomplishment.
During the week of January 5 through January
11, 2015, JBC Business students Seth, Cory,
Sarah, Brandi, and Tim tied for 6th best Overall
Score worldwide. In addition, they had top
scores worldwide for their Return on Equity
and Stock Price. Through the BSG simulation,
Business students at JBC operate an athletic
footwear company that produces and markets
both branded and private-label footwear.
This simulation provides an integrative
experience in applying the knowledge
and skills developed in prior coursework
within the functional business areas. In the
simulation, students are required to apply
concepts from management, accounting,
operations, marketing, economics, and
finance. Students not only compete head-tohead against footwear companies run by other
members of the class, they also compete with
other students worldwide. Each company
competes in a global market arena, selling
in four geographic regions—Europe-Africa,
North America, Asia-Pacific, and Latin
America. The management of each company
is approached from an interdisciplinary
approach, focusing on the development
and offering more attractive pricing, larger
selection, more appealing styling and quality,
greater advertising, and even hiring celebrities
to endorse its brand.
Jamestown Business College offers businessfocused Associate and Bachelor degrees and
certificate programs that include targeted
professional development activities. For

Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
A bunch of years ago I was on vacation
in Aruba. Every evening vendors set up
booths and shopped their wares; tropical
jewelry, exotic spices, Cuban cigars,
and butt-ugly Hawaiian shirts. One
shirt design pictured a man sitting at an
easel in a thatch hut painting a view of a
tropical ocean sunset outside a window.
Another shirt was the sunset itself. An
ingenious gimmick to get me to buy two
unlovely silk-ish shirts instead of one
useless article of swag.
The Bills hired Rex Ryan as their next head
coach. I was no fan of his with the Jets;
he’s a blowhard and, unless I’m missing
something, not a very good coach (5052 overall, 4-12 last season). His teams
are noted for defense, and that’s the last
thing the Bills need. They were 4th in
the league last year, and they wasted one
of the best defensive performances in
team history by missing the playoffs. The
Bills scored 21.4 points per game, the
Jets 17.7. The Bills gave up 18 ppg, the
Jets 25. Both teams played basically the
same schedule. Tell me again how Rex
Ryan upgrades our coaching situation?
Terry Pegula, team owner, said Ryan was
a good interview. I can see that. Pegula
also said he’s a “good fit”. I can’t see that.
Ryan was fired from a team with a solid
defense, and an underachieving, salarycap killing, over-drafted quarterback.
He’s taking over a team with great defense
and an underachieving, salary-cap killing,
over-drafted quarterback. It’s like my
Aruba Hawaiian shirts. Maybe Ryan is
the horizon and Marrone the painter, but
it feels like an ingenious way to get me to
buy more useless swag.
That said, I believe pro sports are for
entertainment purposes only (see
Cowboys-comma-Dallas and the myriad
rules created from a Tom Brady pass
attempt; the Tuck Rule and 95% of
roughing the passer penalties). Rex Ryan
will be entertaining at the least, the same
way interstate pile-ups and reality TV are
entertaining. I just don’t think this is the
formula to get the Bills to a Super Bowl.
Deflate-gate, Non-inflate-gate, whatever
you want to call it, the New England
Patriots supposedly cheated in the AFC
Championship by using soft footballs.
Maybe you heard about it. I don’t really
care, except that it’s another prism through
which people can psychoanalyze Bill
Belechick and ratify their paranoia that
the Patriots are an evil empire. I’ll repeat
myself, pro sports are for entertainment
purposes only. I say enjoy the debate,
but don’t come to the conclusion that it
matters. If you’re looking to pro sports
for your daily dose of integrity, you’re not
looking in the right place. Besides, it’s a
pretty stupid rule.
It would have been brutal waking up last
Monday if you were a rabid Packers fan;
just a ridiculous and improbable series
of events that had to happen for them
not to be suiting up in Glendale, Arizona
next Sunday for another Super Bowl.
When Green Bay safety Morgan Burnett
intercepted the ball with five minutes,
13 seconds left, the Packers had a 98.2%
chance of winning the game. Not sure
what metrics they use to come up with
that number, but 98.2% is a number you
just don’t get in sports. I don’t think the
Heidi game, or the 1982 Russian hockey
team got to 98.2%. Those are odds you’d
only find in a Syracuse basketball nonconference game, or Southwestern girls
swim meet. A big number. You almost
have to try to lose when you’re sitting on
98.2%.
The problem for Green Bay was that
Mike McCarthy was forced to coach. He
didn’t. The game came down to yards
and seconds, and he handled neither with
what you’d expect from a head coach.
Picture any NFL coach you consider
good. Now picture him losing that game.
I can’t. In McCarthy’s defense only
two teams in conference championship
history had come back from a 16 point
deficit, but he HAD to have felt the
momentum shift. He had to have some
sort of feel for destiny in this game. He
twice had his team kick field goals from
the Seahawks’ one yard-line. He took the
ball out of the hands of the best player in
the game to hand it off and plead for the
clock to tick down to zero. He failed to
coach enough to stop a fake field goal, an
onside kick and a 2-point conversion in
the same game. Any idea the last time a
team pulled off that tri-fecta in the same
game? Yeah, me neither.
These two quotes say it best for me:
“We just kept believing,” Seattle receiver
Jermaine Kearse said. Yeah, sure.
“We gave it away,” Green Bay quarterback
Aaron Rodgers said. Yes, you did.

economies.
Tax preparers warn, however, that
sudden wealth often prompts impulse
spending on non-necessities. A recent,
Jamestown Gazette informal poll of
local tax preparers prompted responses
like, “I advise people to make a plan for
their returns,” and, “We remind people
of investment opportunities at tax time,”
and one local tax preparer calculates
credit card interest wasted on minimum
payments by her clients. “I show them
hundreds or even thousands of dollars
they will save by simply paying off their
credit cards ASAP. It’s not as much fun as
some things, but it is like extra income!”
“Tax returns,” according to a local
financial advisor, “are not just ‘easy
money’. You earned it. Spend it wisely.
Buyer beware.” With a knowing smile,
she added, “Then vote for politicians
who will do the same.”
New Regulations
New tax regulations have been created
every year since 1913 when the U.S.
Congress ratified the 16th Amendment
to the Constitution authorizing a
federal income tax. Today, the tax code
is generally considered by many tax
preparers and legislators to be unreadable
and unintelligible to anyone in its
entirety. The entire tax code, however,
does not apply to everyone but specific
provisions do apply to special groups for
special purposes.
Some new regulations, for example, are
created to make it easier for taxpayers to
make money. A single recent, regulation,
for instance, helps inner city workers.
Companies can now pay $240 a month
of parking tax-free for their employees;
it’s not considered income. There is no
requirement, however, for employers to
pay for their employees’ parking.
Affordable Care Act
Perhaps the biggest change, depending
on a tax-filer’s circumstances, is the
Affordable Care Act (ACA). This is the

first year tax payers will have to report
health care coverage on tax returns. The
new Individual Shared Responsibility
Provision requires each family member
to have minimum essential coverage,
qualify for a coverage exemption, or
make an individual shared responsibility
payment when filing federal income tax
returns.
Objectors to ACA may opt to pay the
individual shared responsibility payment
– called a penalty by some – instead of
enrolling in minimum essential coverage.
The IRS warns, however, that this means
a citizen will also have to pay the entire
cost of all medical care and won’t be
protected from the kind of very high
medical bills that can sometimes lead to
bankruptcy.
For those making the individual shared
responsibility payment, paying the
penalty, worksheets accompany the
instructions on Form 8965, Health
Coverage Exemptions. Tax preparers
and the IRS strongly advise seeking
assistance with this and other procedures,
especially the new ones, and preparing
and filing tax returns electronically using
tax preparation software. Electronic
Filing options include free Volunteer
Assistance, IRS Free File, commercial
software and professional assistance.

Giving money away is probably only
fun, according to one local tax preparer,
for Bill and Melinda Gates. However,
getting good value for money well spent
is satisfying for everyone.
Taxes pay for many necessary goods and
services most people take for granted,
like roads, schools and good sanitation
systems – which historians claim have
added 50 years to the average human life
span over the centuries. Taxes buy many
of the benefits of civilization.
According to Jamestown’s Mayor Sam
Teresi, reasonable taxation depends
upon reasonable spending and those
things depend on wise voting.

G.A. Family Services Honors Joe
Lynch as Employee of the Year

It is seldom that you find Joe Lynch, the
coordinator for the Resource Team at the G.A.
Learning center, speechless. He was caught off
guard when his name was called as the 2014 G.A.
Family Services Employee of the Year.
“I was born to do this type of work,” Lynch said
with a smile. “I can’t imagine doing anything
else. It has always been my motivation to work
tirelessly to do whatever is in my power to help our
youth through difficult times, as well as to teach
them new coping skills. To receive this honor
was tremendous, especially because my daughter
Jessica was there to share in the excitement.”
Lynch has been a member of the G.A. employee
family for 29 years. He began his career as a Child
Care Counselor and continued to be promoted
and recognized for his dedication. He is the
Resource Team Coordinator. “I have an amazing
team with very unique skills,” he said. “It’s so
important for us to be able to triage situations,
think on our feet and multitask, and all with a
sense of humor!” He and his Team canvass the
hallways of the Learning Center and are always
just a moment away when needed, giving the
teachers and other staff some peace of mind. The
Team knows the students well. They know what
triggers negative behaviors and they know how to
help the youth find ways to cope, before a crisis
situation occurs.
The G.A. Employee of the Month Team is a
group of employees who oversee the recognition
program and plan fun events for employees
throughout the year. Lynch was chosen from
among the 12 employees of the month at
G.A. who were nominated by their peers. The
nominations are then presented to a team of
employees who make the final decision.

Movie Review

More than anything, Clint Eastwood’s
newest film American Sniper is a
testament to the unwavering character
of late U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle. This
movie does not glorify violence, but does
shine a light on the very true and harsh
realities of the War on Terror in Iraq.

Prendergast Library is displaying a mural and
photography display created by Gustavus Adolphus
(G.A.) Family Services for a year-end visit to
Jamestown by New York State Sen. Cathy Young.
The mural was created by lead artist Kelly Foringer
and youth participants, who revealed the surprise to
the legislator during a celebration that included pizza
donated by Honest John’s.
Some of the photographs on the panel to the right
of the mural show life skills, fitness, mentoring,
homework help, and community service projects
involving the Accountability and Responsibility
Program for youth who need additional services to
prevent out-of-home placement. It focuses on the
Forward Thinking Interactive Journaling Series that
helps young people make positive changes in thoughts,
feelings and behaviors. It also seeks partnerships
with local businesses and community agencies
such as SKF Aeroengine North America, James
Prendergast Library, Western New York Pennsylvania
Railroad LLC, Rexel Electrical, The Gateway Center,
Family Learning Zone, Chautauqua Works – Youth
Group, Jamestown Community College, Landmark
Restaurant, Lutheran, S. Tabone Paving, City Hall
and the Parks and Recreation Department. Housed
at 515 W. Fifth St., Jamestown, the program operates
from 3 to 8 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
G.A. Family Services Therapeutic Foster Care has
offices in Jamestown, Chaffee, and West Seneca.
Children from Erie, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus,
Allegany and Wyoming counties are placed in
specialized foster care homes as close to home as
possible throughout the region. As part of Family
Services’ wrap-around care, there are also a residential
home, group homes and a learning center to meet the
needs of children with severe behavioral issues.
According to Program Manager Ericka Garcia,
the display of pictures at the library is intended to
show how G.A. Family Services touches the lives of
hundreds of children every year and is continuing to
grow to meet area needs.
“We’re pleased to be a source of information about all
of these services,” said Library Director Tina Scott.
Prendergast Library is located at 509 Cherry St.,
Jamestown, where the display will be available
through the end of January. For information, call 4847135.
Chris Kyle was raised a country boy
in Odessa, TX. Growing up, his father
planted the ethical and moral seeds in
order for Kyle to grow up strong. He
was very forward about telling Chris and
his younger brother about the evils that
walked the planet.
He proclaimed to a young Kyle that there
were three types of people in this world:
sheep, wolves, and sheep dogs. It was his
father’s goal that Kyle grows up a sheep
dog; one to protect the weak and the
helpless from the predators that inhabit
this Earth.
At the age of 30, following a terrorist
attack on a foreign U.S. Embassy, Kyle
felt it was his duty to protect his country.
He enlisted with the United States Navy
SEALs. After 9/11, realization that
terrorists had declared war refocused his
mind. On his wedding day he found out
This is a very real story. It takes the viewer
through each of Kyle’s four tours of
overseas duty and his visits back home.
With each return Chris Kyle makes,
viewers feel the tension building in a
way that really does become unsettling
to watch and experience. Eastwood’s
direction uses sound effect cues skillfully,
for instance to set a menacing tone
alluding to the effects of post traumatic
stress haunting Kyle’s mind. In another
instance, a blank television screen
becomes a battleground for gunfire,
shrieks of suffering and terror.
Chris Kyle’s character – with its loving,
loyal, humble, kind, protective, good
and fun-loving qualities – ultimately
becomes obscured by the terrible effects
of war. He becomes lost in his slate
black sunglasses and new persona, “The
Legend”.
Chris Kyle died tragically at a stateside
shooting range after his tours of active
duty were completed. He was shot by an
apparently deranged ex-Marine whose
motives remain the subject of debate.
Though I rarely say this about any film,
I urge viewers to stay in their seats to
watch the movie’s end credits. More
than the names of actors and crew, the
final scenes present raw footage of Kyle’s
memorial service in Dallas. Viewers may
find it a fitting tribute to offer Kyle those
last few moments of honor.
Rating: 3.5/4 stars

A RARE COMMODITY

traditional hobby shops.”
The model planes and the bright colored
signs hanging from the ceiling welcome
customers into one of the last hobby shops
around. Craft World and Actions Hobbies,
located at 509 W. 3rd St. is a rare gem in the
world of malls and online shopping.
“My mom and dad started it when I was a
junior in high school, in 1975,” owner Greg
Moller said. After owning the store for 25
years, Terry and ZoeAnne Moller decided
it was time to pull back a bit, so they left the
ownership of the store to their son Greg.
He has owned the store for the past 15
years. “My son is next in line,” Greg said of
when he retires.
The entire family is very much involved
in running the business. ZoeAnne greets
the customers who walk in with a bright
smile, while her son is upstairs helping a
customer with a problem. Terry has his
very own spot in the front left corner of the
store, where he will repair and answer any
questions about trains. One of the neon
signs marks his domain. Greg’s son is also
involved; he currently manages the website
and all of the online orders.
“We’re a full line hobby shop,” Greg
described. “We have trains, rockets,
models, remote controls, puzzles, art
supplies.” The list goes on. Two full floors
and a website worth of model parts and art
supplies. “We pretty much have to do it all,
because we’re a small town,” Greg said.
Small town or not, people come from all
over, including Pittsburgh and Cleveland,
to browse around Jamestown’s hobby
shop. “When they get here, they’re just so
thrilled that they have a place to go,” Greg
said. “We’re kind of one of the last of the
Times have greatly changed in the 40 years
since the Mollers first opened their hobby
shop. However, Craft World and Action
Hobbies has grown significantly since
then. “It was right next to the Post-Journal
for the first five years, on 2nd St. There used
to be a series of stores right in the parking
ramp there,” Greg remembered.
The shop then moved to Cherry St. for
about 20 years, until Greg took it over and
moved it to its current location. “I wanted
a parking lot,” he explained.
Prior to taking over his parents’ shop,
Greg owned an auto parts store, where
he learned how to run a business. The
most important thing he has learned from
running a business is how to listen to
people, a good skill for any area of life.
“It may not be a matter of stocking what
you like, you have to stock what your
customers are going to like. If I filled the
store with stuff that I liked, then I’d be out
of business in a month,” Greg smiled. “You
have to go with what they’re looking for.”
With the variety of items sold at Craft World
and Action Hobbies, it would be hard for
customers not to find what they’re looking
for. The shop on 3rd St. is open from 9:30
a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday,
from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, and
9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The shop
is closed on Sundays, but is always open
online at www.cwactionhobbies.com. The
phone number is 716-484-1780.

DEALER SHOWCASE
Jones
Valhalla Restaurant
Sean Jones, chef/owner of Jones Valhalla Restaurant.
Article Contributed by
Julia Eppehimer
The restaurant that recently opened at 306 N. Main St. continues 106 years of family
tradition. Jones Valhalla Restaurant, formally Jones 212 Bakery & Café, opened its
doors in November in its newest and largest location.
“I wanted to move to a different situation…to show that the restaurant is moving
forward and going above just being the bakery that it’s always been,” owner Sean
Jones explained. “I’m not doing as much baking as I was over there. I’m focusing
more now on the food aspect of it, and doing more things that I enjoy to cook.”
Sweets lovers, fear not. There is still the traditional counter full of goodies at the
door. But the larger location has much more of a restaurant feel than the previous
café. With weekly specials including options like pan seared pork cutlets and sesame
crusted cod, and of course, the homemade mac and cheese, Sean is taking Jones
Valhalla Restaurant to a new level. “It will definitely get bigger and better as we
continue on,” he said.
It was 1909, over one hundred years ago, that the Jones family originally started the
bakery in Jamestown. Sean’s great grandfather and his family ran the first bakery,
which moved to several locations before settling as Jones Tasty Bakery on Pine St. in
1974. Part of the original sign from those 40 years ago hangs in the back of the new
Jones Valhalla Restaurant.
Jones Tasty Bakery closed in 2005, but Sean reopened it as Jones 212 Bakery &
Café in 2010, right across the street from its old place of residence. The progression
continues into the new restaurant now located on N. Main St.
“Valhalla is Viking heaven,” Sean described. “Valhalla was a giant hall filled with food,
drink, and maidens.” The new name, stemming from the Jones’ Swedish descent,
alludes to the large space filled with food and drink that is Jones Valhalla Restaurant.
Sean got his start working with food as a boy growing up in his family’s bakery. At the
age of 20, he left the family business to work in a restaurant, but he learned his best
cooking skills from his mother.
“My mother’s a wonderful cook. She’s Italian, and she always cooked wonderful,
wonderful food growing up,” Sean raved. “I never missed dinner.” A lifetime of
working with and eating good food has developed in Sean a passion for creating good
classic foods and experimenting with new flavors.
His ideas stem from a mix of things he’s cooked in the past and new things in
magazines or books that catch his eye. “It just kind of comes to you,” Sean explained.
“I’ve been working with food a long time and I’ve cooked many different styles.”
The menu is always changing to exhibit his creations, with new specials each week.
There are some constant classics on the menu as well, like the pesto grilled chicken
salad. “That has been on the menu ever since I opened [on Pine St.],” Sean said. “It’s
kind of a downtown staple.”
Combining all the different flavors to create something new is one of Sean’s favorite
things about cooking, but the thrill of creating something is not what takes the cake.
“The best satisfaction is making someone happy,” he said. “That makes me feel really
good inside because I know that I made that person’s day.”
It seems appropriate for the Jones name to have a main spot in downtown after so
many years. Sean hopes to continue expanding the business, and eventually be open
for dinner. Currently, Jones Valhalla Restaurant is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday, with lunch served from 11-3. On Saturdays they are open from 9 a.m.
to 3 p.m., with lunch from 11-2.

hope everyone at least comes in once, and gives us a chance to make them happy.”
