The Chautauqua Star Community You Can Observe Professionals Banding Birds at Audubon
2 • Friday, April 27, 2018
You can observe bird scientists in action and birds up close at bird banding demonstrations any Saturday morning from April 28 through May 19 at Audubon Community Nature Center. This picture of a Flicker being released after it was banded was taken by D. Arlene Bonnett of Jamestown; it was recognized as a “Photograph of Merit” in Audubon’s 2017 Nature Photography Contest. (For information about the 2018 Contest, visit acncphotocontest. com.)
Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Jamestown, NY – Bird banding is an age-old technique used to discover details about the behaviors of birds.
On Saturday mornings from April 28 through May 19, you are invited to join ornithologists at Audubon Community Nature Center to observe them banding birds.
You can drop in any time between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. to learn exactly how this is done and why. Come on your own or bring the kids with you to view this amazing process. If the weather is too harsh for the safety of the birds, the nets will not be open and an alternate date will be chosen.
The bird scientists capture migrating and resident birds in “mist” nets, so-called because they are so fine they are almost like mist.
You can watch how they fit them with identification bands, measure and weigh and then release them to go on with their lives. You might even be selected to help release a bird.
While not necessary to enjoy the demonstrations, you may want to bring bird guides and binoculars if you have them, and remember to dress for the weather. Plan to listen closely to the scientists and follow their instructions carefully, as safety of the birds is the priority.
Come to the picnic pavilion on the west side of the Audubon property at 1600 Riverside Road, just east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. Look for a “Bird Banding” sign at the entrance closer to Route 62. Drive right in and park on the grass. This program is made possible in part by an S. Knox Harper grant from the Northern Allegheny Conservation Association. Audubon offers these demonstrations to the public free of charge, but donations are greatly appreciated. Each of the bird banders brings extensive experience and expertise to their tasks. With a Master Banding permit and 39 years of bird banding experience, Dr. Scott Stoleson has published over 60 scientific papers on the ecology and conservation of birds. He has conducted avian research in the western United States, Central and South America, and led natural history tours to the Caribbean and Latin America. He is currently the Research Wildlife Biologist at the U.S. Forest Service Northern Research Station lab in Irvine, Pa., and a Research Associate of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute. Don Watts is a Master Bird Bander and monitors the American Kestrel Nestbox trail in his native Warren County, Pa. His numerous birding activities include being Wildlife Technician for the United States Forest Service in the study of the Cerulean Warbler, monitoring of sensitive species, and conducting bird surveys, and being a participant in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service breeding bird surveys for more than 20 years. Watts is past president of Roger Tory Peterson Ornithological Club and Coordinator of the Warren Christmas Bird Count. Emily Thomas Perlock’s degrees include a Master’s in Wildlife and Fisheries Science at Penn State. She has worked as a wildlife biologist for the USFS Northern Research Station’s Forestry Sciences Laboratory in Irvine, Pa. and is currently employed as an Instructor in Wildlife Technology at Penn State DuBois. She learned how to band in 2005 and has banded over 4000 birds since. She holds a Master Banding permit and is certified as a bird bander by the North American Banding Council. With a Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science from Penn State, Nathan Weyandt is a Fisheries Biologist Aide for the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. He has banded approximately 1900 birds of 99 species in Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Maine, and American Samoa. In American Samoa he ran a tropical MAPS station looking at feather molting patterns of island birds. The Nature Center building and Blue Heron Gift Shop hours are 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and Sundays 1-4:30 p.m. More than five miles of trails and Bald Eagle viewing are open dawn to dusk daily. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or visit auduboncnc.org. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

The Chautauqua Star Neutrals create the perfect backdrop for bringing in your favorite colors. They won’t compete with other colors, they’ll complement them. So how can you bring in these colors? There are the clear choices like pillows, picture frames, and artwork. Those are all great, but we’re looking for projects.
Bringing the Sunshine Inside
By Katy Wise
Contributing Writer
One of the most fun ways to add color into your home is with accent furniture. Especially when the current trends are neutral, light colors. If you take a look at Pinterest, or just about any HGTV show, there are numerous votes for colors that aren’t highly pigmented, that will complement multiple décor styles, and different pieces. Tans, browns, off-whites, beige, greige, and a large spectrum of gray colored paint, have been the most popular choices for years now.
Most of our house is filled with these neutral colors.
A side chair for your entryway, chairs for a kitchen island, a bathroom mirror, or buffet table.
It coordinates with all of our furniture, various holiday decorations, and will last for quite some time without becoming tiresome.
Maybe it’s something that has been handed down through the years of your family, or maybe it was a great deal at a yard sale but needed just a little something.
Or at least that’s what the goal is. With all of these neutrals, we need some color thrown in there. Some people can be one hundred percent happy in a completely neutral home, and it looks beautiful and timeless.
Sometimes it’s an item that you’ve been searching for in various stores, but just couldn’t find in the right color.
If you’re in that category, then this might not be the project for you, and that’s ok! One thing that we all need to keep in mind when reading about all these new trends and home ideas, is what we actually like, and what brings you joy.
It’s easy to see why, as many of these paint colors have a high light reflective value, which ultimately means that your space will look brighter.
Something that looks great in someone else’s home, may also look great in yours, but if you don’t like it, what’s the point?
While this style is probably very popular in many places all over, I personally think it’s highly appealing to those who often have an extended winter season.
You may also see something that you like, that only works in a particular style of house. For example, the farmhouse trend. It’s cute, trendy, or in a lot of houses, especially in a historic area, it fits in perfectly.
In other words, us. It’s finally spring here in Western New York, and the vast majority of us are rejoicing over the current weather. How you can you bring a bit of spring and summer into your house when it isn’t the current season, though?
Furniture that needs a new lease on life, or just a fresh coat of paint.
This might not be the case if you live in a home that was built in the past 50 years and has more of an eclectic feel to it. Back to the pops of color, though.
Why not make it yourself? A couple of my favorite projects were ones that others were about to give up on and throw in the dumpster. We have at least a dozen pieces of furniture in our home that I have painted and made our own. Those ones are my favorites. There’s also one that my grandma painted, years before I could paint furniture on my own. That one might be my favorite, and it matches our house, while telling a story. I know the work that went into them, and they are exactly as I would have bought them from a store. They just didn’t happen to come from a store! Here is what I hope will be a nice little dose of inspiration for you, to bring some more color into your home. As always, thanks for reading! Happy renovating from hbk!
Time to Get Your Assigned Area for BOS Bird Count Jamestown, N.Y. – Every May, the Buffalo Ornithological Society (BOS) sponsors a bird count in Western New York.
For more information, visit the BOS website, http://www.buffaloornithologicalsociety.org/countsand-research/may-count
The first BOS count was held in 1939. It provides a historical reference for bird species found in Western New York.
The Audubon Community Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, N.Y., and Warren, Pa. The building, with its collection of live animals, interactive exhibits and the Blue Heron Gift Shop, is open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1-4:30 p.m. Sundays. The grounds, including trails, gardens, picnic tables, arboretum, and Liberty the Bald Eagle can be visited from dawn until dusk daily.
It takes many people, beginning to advanced birders, to cover the four-county territory, whether watching on their own property or committing to a larger area. It is important that each person has an assigned territory, to give the broadest coverage without overlapping.
This Cardinal is one of the species that is sure to be spotted during the Buffalo Ornithological Society’s Bird Count on Sunday, May 20. To be part of this major endeavor and receive an assigned count area, contact Audubon Community Nature Center by Tuesday, May 1. (Photograph by Suzette Paduano)

Did you know? Spring cleaning is a ritual that many people participate in as the last vestiges of winter disappear. Spring cleaning is a time to open windows, deep clean rooms and closets and take down and launder window treatments and linens. Others use spring cleaning as a time to sort and donate or discard clutter that might have accumulated over the winter. Even though spring cleaning seems like a modern invention, the act of spring cleaning is believed to have originated centuries ago. Some say that the ancient Chinese cleaned in preparation for their New Year as they hoped to wipe away any bad luck and misfortune from the previous year. Similarly, the ancient Hebrew practice of thoroughly cleansing a home before the springtime feast of Passover may have evolved into the spring cleaning we know today. Another possible connection is the tradition of “shaking the house clean” in Iran. Iranians celebrate Now Rouz (Persian New Year) with many different rituals, one of which involves buying new clothes and cleaning every corner of the family home to signify renewal.

How to repot a plant Gardening time is here, with people enjoying plants both inside and outside of their homes. Container gardening, which is a planting method in which flowers and other plants are grown in pots and other containers, is quite popular because of design versatility. Containers can be moved from location to location if plants are not thriving in a particular spot. They also make gardening possible when there isn’t any available land space, which might be the case for apartment-dwellers. Flower pots enable plant enthusiasts to enjoy foliage inside of the home as well. Houseplants can add beauty to interior spaces and help filter indoor air. In the late 1980s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America actually studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants are particularly good at filtering out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Having plants around can create inviting spaces and improve healthy conditions inside and out. Part of caring for plants in containers involves knowing when a potted plant might need a little tender loving care. As plants grow larger, they may outgrow their containers and require more roomy quarters. Without ample space, plants may not be able to adequately draw up water and nutrients to support top growth. Repotting may seem like it is easy, but it actually takes a little finesse so not to damage the plants. Gardening experts like those from Fine Gardening, HGTV and Today’s Homeowner suggest these repotting tips. • Be sure the plant is well watered for a few days prior to the repotting process. Watering also will help loosen the root ball from inside of the smaller pot.
• A plant ready for repotting should slide out with most of the soil in one piece. If the soil is free-falling, it may not need to be repotted at this point because there’s still room for the roots to expand. Other signs that plants may need repotting include roots poking out of the soil or plants that are straggly and pale. • Consider repotting outside because the process can be messy. Have all of your materials, which include a trowel, gloves, scissors, and potting soil, handy so that you can tackle the process smoothly. • Remove your plant from the pot carefully. Place the plant on its side, then support the main stem in one hand and use the other hand to gently pull the pot away. Be careful not to pull on the main stem or break the stem. Tread gently. • Cut away any rotten or dead roots, and trim really long ends. Make three or four vertical cuts about a third of the way up the remaining root ball. This also will help with water and nutrient absorption once the plant is in its new pot. • Gently untangle any remaining roots and prepare to place the plant in a new pot. • Choose a new pot that is slightly larger than the root ball. Fill the pot with soil so that the root ball sits about an inch below the rim of the pot. Add more soil around the roots to fill the pot. Be sure to leave enough room so that with each watering the pot can hold water. • Thoroughly water the plant after repotting to moisten the soil. Watch your plant afterwards to be sure that it’s taking to its new potted home. It can take around three to four weeks for the plant to recover from repotting. Water regularly, avoid fertilizing and keep the plant out of direct sunlight.

Take a Photographic Journey through Spring Wildflowers at Audubon on Wednesday, May 2
FIRST EARTH DAY APRIL 22, 1970
The genesis of Earth Day is credited to Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin. After witnessing the ravages of the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, and inspired by the student anti-war movement, he called for an environmental teach-in, later called “Earth Day”.

Friday, April 27, 2018 • 9 Community United Way Finds a Lewis & Lewis, P.C. New Home Offices to Move to Tew Mansion
The Chautauqua Star
Amy Rohler, Executive Director of the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County, hands the keys to the Tew Mansion to George Panebianco, Managing Partner of Lewis & Lewis Law Firm. Lewis & Lewis is swapping offices with the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County to move into the Tew Mansion. The United Way will be moving into Lewis & Lewis’ current location at 208 Pine Street.

United Way of Southern Chautauqua County is moving its offices to 208 Pine Street, a more centralized location in downtown Jamestown, following the swap of office space with local attorney, George Panebianco of Lewis & Lewis P.C. The change in offices will occur on April 24th. After 29 years in the Tew Mansion on North Main Street, the United Way will renovate office space at 208 Pine Street, making it more convenient for the organization to serve downtown agencies that benefit from United Way funding. According to Executive Director Amy Rohler, the move will also result in reduced occupancy and administrative costs, as compared to operating within the 1880s Victorian mansion-turned office. “More of our donor dollars will be invested in local programs that help people improve their lives,” stated Rohler. The Gebbie Foundation purchased the Tew Mansion in 1989 as a way to maintain the historic northern gateway to the city. At the time of purchase, extensive renovation and restoration work was done on the building and donated to the United Way for use as a community service center for non-profit organizations. In 2013, United Way sold the building due to excessive maintenance costs— but remained there as a tenant. Early this winter, the Tew Mansion was for sale and it was not long before Mr. Panebianco offered to purcrhase the building. “We were looking for a new home for Lewis & Lewis and the Tew Mansion is the perfect space for our growing
law firm,” said Mr. Panebianco. “I am a huge supporter of the United Way and all they do for our community and wanted to help ensure that they also could stay downtown and continue work on their mission. I’m happy to offer the option of the United Way moving into our space at 208 Pine Street and so pleased that this will work out to the benefit of the United Way. We are two organizations that wanted to stay in downtown Jamestown and worked together to achieve that goal.” Every year, United Way raises over $1.3 million and invests those dollars in 42 community based programs that align with four priorities: ensuring that families are self-sufficient, everyone is ready to work, young people succeed in school, and those in need can find help.

[Jamestown, NY] – The Jamestown office of Lewis & Lewis, P.C. will move to the Tew Mansion at 413 North Main Street in Jamestown on April 30, 2018. Lewis & Lewis is swapping offices with the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County. The United Way will be moving into Lewis & Lewis’ current location at 208 Pine Street.
Some minor renovations of the 208 Pine Street location are planned. These will most likely take four to eight weeks, and were made possible by the generous donation and support of several local organizations and businesses, including Hope’s Windows, Ahlstrom Schaeffer Electric, Artone and E.E.Austin & Son.
“Lewis & Lewis is absolutely thrilled to be staying in downtown Jamestown and moving to the Tew Mansion. Due to large increases in business and personnel, it became imperative to expand our offices. Despite many alternatives outside of Jamestown, it was our clear intention to stay in the vibrant downtown Jamestown area,” says the Managing Partner George Panebianco.
While the renovations are completed, United Way staff will have temporary office space at Allied Alarm Company (2020 Allen Street Ext, Falconer). They can still be reached at (716) 4831561, and their temporary mailing address will be 708 Foote Avenue, #286; Jamestown, NY 14701. An open house for their new offices will be held sometime in early summer.
Lewis & Lewis is a full-service law office that began in 1944 in Buffalo, NY. Lewis & Lewis currently has five offices located in Buffalo, Jamestown, Olean, Niagara Falls and Batavia, with their primary focus on Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation Law. The Jamestown office originally opened in 1994 by its Managing Partner George Panebianco, Esq. The
Jamestown office currently employs four attorneys and a licensed Workers’ Compensation representative, along with five other staff members. The Tew Mansion was originally constructed in 1881 as the private home of former President of City National Bank, George Washington Tew. The Victorian mansion was used as a private residence and has had multiple uses since the late 1800s. In 1989, the Tew Mansion was renovated and restored to its original condition through the generosity of the Gebbie Foundation. The United Way of Southern Chautauqua County has been the chief tenant of the Tew Mansion since the renovation. “Working with the United Way on this transition could not have gone any smoother,” said Panebianco. “For many years, we have been a large supported of the United Way and are very grateful that we were able to help accommodate their move to our former location at 208 Pine Street. Executive Director, Amy Rohler, and her staff have been absolutely incredible to work with during this transition. I believe this was a win-win situation for both organizations and for downtown Jamestown.”
Experience a Western U.S. Trek at Audubon’s May 4 First Friday Beginning his trip in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, he forded many rivers flooded with snowmelt runoff while the region ushered in the springtime. After completing the 180 miles of the Ozark Highlands Trail, he flew to Phoenix where he began hiking the Grand Enchantment Trail. Nearly 800 desert miles later, after lengthy water carries, cross-country traverses, and even drinking out of cow troughs, Prindle-Cassidy arrived in Albuquerque. From there, he flew to San Diego and began his long-time goal of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. The Pacific Crest Trail took him through the deserts of southern California, the snow-covered Sierra, a smoky northern California and Oregon, and the alpine regions of Washington. Upon reaching the northern terminus in Canada, he continued his adventure as he hiked 65 miles across the Olympic National Park before returning home. Last year, local resident Jake Prindle-Cassidy walked 3,600 miles through much of the wilderness of the western United States. He will share the highlights of that experience at Audubon Community Nature Center’s First Friday Lunch Bunch on May 4, 2018.

musical experiment gone wrong. Mason explodes on stage with unfathomable energy, relentlessly pounding away at the audience with his witty charm and hilariously original songs. He has made multiple appearances on NBC, and has been featured on Nerdist.com, MTV Geek News, and Time Magazine’s Techland.
