Jackson Center TO OFFER CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION PROGRAMS VIA LIVESTREAMING Contributed Article The Robert H. Jackson Center
Ring Elementary School students Ty McVey,Tatiana Harris, Sahirys Santiago Torres, Tommy Kathman, Lucas Johnson and Anthony Barone III presented a check for $625 to Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Jeff Kroon.
Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools
[Jamestown, NY] – Ring Elementary School students recently donated $625 to the Winifred Crawford Dibert Boys & Girls Club of Jamestown from their Red Nose Day fundraising. The students presented the check to Executive Director Jeff Kroon. This is the third year that C.C. Ring Elementary School has participated in the day that was originally introduced as a school wide program by teachers, Brandi Meacham and Carrie Davenport. “It’s great to see young people doing things for other young people,” said Mr. Kroon. “The spirit of volunteering and giving to others is so important. We are so happy to receive this donation and the funds will go to our summer programming. We try to use donations like this to buy something that will directly benefit the kids, something they can touch and use like arts and crafts supplies or new balls. We are very excited to give our children more opportunities through this donation.” Ring Elementary School raised the funds in only a week through an all-school grade-level coin challenge in honor of Red Nose Day. As the Boys & Girls Clubs were a designated recipient of Red Nose Day, the school decided to donate the funds to their local club that helps so many Jamestown children. The students also participated in “kindness challenges” and others wrote essays on how kids can help out with projects like Red Nose Day.
JAMESTOWN, NY– The Robert H. Jackson Center, a non-profit dedicated to promoting liberty under law through the examination of the life and work of Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson and its relevance to current events and issues, will partner with Chautauqua Institution to offer two programs at the Jackson Center each week, via livestreaming from the Chautauqua Institution grounds. Robert H. Jackson Center President Susan Moran Murphy made the announcement. The Jackson Center is pleased to collaborate with Chautauqua Institution to livestream lectures to the Jackson Center this summer, partnering with Chautauqua in their outreach into the community beyond the grounds. The 10:45am Amphitheater lecture will be livestreamed each Monday, and the 2:00pm Hall of Philosophy lecture will be livestreamed each Friday, essentially “bookending” each of Chautauqua Institution’s 2018 nine-week summer season of programming. The series will launch on Friday, June 29, and the final livestream to the Jackson Center will be on Friday, August 24. The livestreamed programs are offered at no charge to Jackson Center visitors in our air-conditioned, ADA accessible Cappa Theatre, allowing visitors to participate in these extraordinary learning experiences. The Jackson Center is located at 305 E. 4th Street, Jamestown, NY 14701. Please visit www. roberthjackson.org for details. The Robert H. Jackson Center is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that envisions a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness and justice prevail. The Center invites and engages students of all ages, scholars, educators, national officials and international dignitaries to analyze contemporary issues of peace and justice through the lens of Justice Jackson’s body of work.

Summer Bucket List
By Katy Wise
Contributing Writer
It’s that time of year for making plans that take advantage of the gorgeous weather outside. Time to get things done that we can’t the rest of the year because there just isn’t enough daylight, or someone has to go to bed on time for school the next morning. Our kids don’t go to bed at crazy hours of the night, but they do get a little bit more playtime during this time of the year.
There are a few things that we’ve already gotten done, but there are still quite a few more to be done. We have also been adding to the list as we go, so who knows if we will actually get around to the whole list or not. When they drift over in to dream vacation mode and start adding things like,’ Go to Disney World,’ well, it becomes a little less realistic for us. These are things that don’t cost a savings account, and most of them are actually free things that you can do if you have a car or a bike. If you need some ideas for fun things to do this year, or just some ideas for how to entertain your kids, here’s your ticket. Of course, you can also head over to Pinterest and throw in some of their ideas, but these are just the ideas of a mom, a seven-year old, a five-year old, and a three-year old. Some of these things are also area specific, so if you live a little further away from creeks or Niagara Falls, those things won’t be realistic for you. Oh, and Lucy is our dog, in case you’re wondering why we might be taking just one of our children to get ice cream or for a walk.

Wishing you a wonderful summer! We hope that these ideas can inspire you. As always, thanks for reading! Happy summer from hbk!
We don’t have to be bound to our strict school year schedule to ensure that we all survive the week. Can anyone else relate? If nothing else, it’s incredibly nice to not have to put our kids to bed right after dinner and bath time. We can actually spend time with them instead of going through the cycle of everyday life. Even if you don’t have school age kids in your house, I am sure that the difference between summer and the rest of the year is something that we can all relate to. No offense to the other seasons, but there’s just so much more to choose from during the warm weather seasons. The last week of school, the kids and I started discussing the various things that they wanted to accomplish this summer vacation. We started making a mental list, and this week, we started to write them down so that we can check them off as we go.

[Jamestown, NY] – Jamestown High Schools’ Gardens of Weedin’ Club has been out and about finding time to dig in the dirt. Their first mission was to weed the overgrown “secret garden” area by the bench in front of JHS. Over the past few years, the club has planted annuals and perennials in this area to beautify the school. This year, the club added a three-tiered stacked planter. In the near future, they hope to add some hanging flower baskets at the front entrance of the school. For the fifth year, the Gardeners of Weedin’ spread love through their “Flowers for Friends.” Every fall, the club plants tulip and daffodil bulbs and in the late spring to deliver to the residents at Heritage Park Skilled Nursing Home. The club members love seeing the smiling faces of many residents at Heritage Park. “We look forward to bringing the flowers every year as the students and I very much enjoy bringing a little sunshine into someone’s room,” said Cheryl Jones, JHS Gardeners of Weedin’ Advisor. In May, City Arborist Dan Stone came to JHS to

The Zelkovas are native to Japan, Korea and Taiwan and the fall color can be bright yellow to rusty red. “A special thank you to Dan Stone and our maintenance crew at JHS,” said Mrs. Jones. “These folks always make time for us and we are very appreciative. Thank you to Brenda Harding, Andy Field, Craig Robbins and Carl Myers for being available to assist us with our many gardening needs. For those of you that have contemplated a flower or vegetable garden, we encourage you to do so. It is very therapeutic and you will literally reap what you sow. A word of encouragement, keep in mind that there are no gardening mistakes, only experiments. You can do it!”

Jamestown, N.Y. – Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) has a new way of fund raising that offers distinctive opportunities and unusual experiences or serves as a gateway to experts with time and talent to share. Some of these Audubon Exclusives are activities like learning to make gourmet pizza, touring Kinzua Dam, or being a fisheries biologist for a day. Others are a variety of specialized services that can be “purchased.” Current time and talent offerings are presented by a story teller, a friend you can rent, and a coin appraiser. Whether it’s youngsters at a birthday party, family cookouts, a group camping trip, or Scouting event, people of all ages love getting caught up in a good story. “Grandpa Dave” is a warm, friendly bear of a man, who will capture your group’s imagination and hold them on the edge of their seats with an assortment of fascinating tales. His repertoire encompasses a wide variety of topics including Native American folklore, the early history of our area, ghost stories, legends, and his personal favorite: Bigfoot and other cryptozoological creatures. Friends can be a huge help with everyday chores like yardwork, but not everyone has such a friend available. ACNC board member Nate Welker is offering himself as a
solution: Rent-a-Friend! In exchange for a generous contribution to Audubon, Welker will provide lawn and garden maintenance such as tree and limb cutting, pruning, weeding, landscaping, mowing, clearing brush, planting, cleaning gutters, winterizing, light chainsaw work, string trimming, and more. Perhaps you are curious about the value of that coin collection you started in childhood or one that used to belong to a relative. Or maybe you’d just like to know if there is anything of value in all the change you’ve been saving for years. The long-time president of the Jamestown Coin Club will be happy to appraise your coins and possibly even purchase them if you are interested. Each of these talents is offered a very limited number of times, and the required donations vary. Details for all, including how to get more information, are on the Audubon Exclusives page at 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. Visit at 1600 Riverside Road, onequarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, N.Y., and Warren, Pa., or online at auduboncnc.org.

STATE AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER ANNOUNCES $17 MILLION TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE WATER QUALITY ACROSS NEW YORK Funding Supports Soil and Water Conservation Projects on Farms Statewide 2018-2019 Executive Budget Provides Support for Next Round of Program through Environmental Protection Fund Complements Historic $2.5 Billion Clean Water Infrastructure Act of 2017
Contributed Article NYS Agricultire and Markets
State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball today announced $17 million is available to protect and conserve critical soil and water resources on farms across New York State. Grants provided through the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Program will help farmers address water quality challenges in priority watersheds by supporting strategic environmental planning and the implementation of best management practices.
State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said, “With the Governor’s leadership, the Empire State continues to serve as a model for environmental stewardship. This program is a key part of that effort, supporting projects with far-reaching benefits that enhance our farms and ensure the health and quality of our farmland and fresh water resources—two of our most valuable assets.”
Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos said, “New York farmers are the backbone of communities across the state and a critical part of our growing economy. These funds are yet another example of Governor Cuomo’s commitment to ensure water quality challenges are addressed safely and responsibly and that New York continues to serve as an aggressive leader in environmental protections.”
The Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Program provides grants to County Soil and Water Conservation Districts on behalf of farmers statewide. The funding will assist farms to implement a variety of best management practice systems, such as manure storage facilities for enhanced nutrient management, buffer strips to prevent and intercept nutrient runoff, and cover crops to enhance soil health.
The Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Program also builds on the Governor’s efforts to provide historic water quality protections across the state through the $2.5 billion Clean Water Infrastructure Act of 2017. Supported projects will enhance community health and wellness, safeguard the state’s most important water resources, and create jobs. As part of the initiative, the Governor announced $50 million last September to implement water quality protection projects on New York livestock farms.
The Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Program is funded in the 2017-18 State Budget through the historic $300 million New York State Environmental Protection Fund (EPF). This year’s budget includes a continuation of record funding for the EPF for a third consecutive year and funds a 25th round of the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Program. Since 1993, New York State has dedicated nearly $177 million to the program.
The program is managed by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and the New York State Soil and Water Conservation Committee. It is
a part of the Agricultural Environmental Management framework, a broader effort that helps farmers achieve higher levels of environmental stewardship and more efficient, cost-effective farming systems. County Soil and Water Conservation Districts use the AEM framework to assist interested farmers through several stages of planning and implementation to make science-based and cost-effective decisions. As a result, farmers can meet business goals while protecting and conserving the state’s natural resources. Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Senator Patty Ritchie said, “New York State’s hardworking farmers are leading the way when it comes to implementing environmentally safe practices that help to protect our soil and water. Through this program, which I was proud to advocate for, they can continue the important work they do not only to support New York’s leading industry, but also to be good stewards of the land and other natural resources they use.” Assembly Agriculture Committee Chair Assemblyman Bill Magee said, “This funding is essential to the health and well-being of our farms and our communities. It will help keep our waters clean and safe for future generations, while ensuring that farmers can continue to produce fresh, local foods while doing their part to protect our waters from pollution sources.” Dale Stein, Chair of the NYS Soil and Water Conservation Committee said, “This program greatly helps farmers install innovative programs on their farms that help protect our vital waterways, improve soil health, improve air quality, and improve the farmer’s ability to efficiently operate their farm. Without this program few farmers would be able to accomplish these practices. I am grateful for the Governor’s continued support of this program, the Environmental Protection Fund, and the state’s Soil and Water Conservation Districts.” David Fisher, New York Farm Bureau President said, “The latest round of grant funding through the Agricultural Nonpoint Source Abatement and Control Program will continue in the long tradition that farmers have in this state of protecting our environment and waterways. The investment farmers make in best management practices showcases their commitment to reducing soil erosion and nutrient runoff. Governor Cuomo has made a long-standing commitment to the Environmental Protection Fund and New York Farm Bureau appreciates the continued funding of this essential program.” Districts can apply for Round 24 of the program now through August 20, 2018. The Request for Proposals is available on the Department of Agriculture and Markets website. All appropriate materials must be submitted through the New York State Soil and Water Conservation Committee SharePoint website. For additional details about this program and other natural resource protection programs, please contact your local County Soil and Water Conservation District.

Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Jamestown, N.Y. – Last Friday afternoon (June 8) the Nature Center building at Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) was filled with well-wishers expressing their appreciation to now-retired president Ruth Lundin for her 19 years of service. Following a food-laden social hour, tributes were paid to Lundin by a host of key Audubon figures and community leaders. ACNC board chair Pierre Chagnon described Lundin as “the Yoda of Audubon,” noting her strongerthan-most connection to nature and the board’s realization under her direction that their “product” is wonder. He thanked her for her guidance, devotion to task, and welcoming demeanor, offering his best wishes in her next phase and welcoming her to the Retirement Club. Lundin’s brief remarks focused on thanking those who helped build ACNC to what it is today, from Jim Yaich, its first director, to all the staff and volunteers, including “board, membership, events, building and grounds, gardeners, and others who fill every need we have.” She said she looks forward to working side by side with those present to continue to better the community.
Former ACNC board member Peter Stark noted the Ruth Lundin Environmental Internship Endowment Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, established by the Lenna Foundation and contributed to by the Sheldon Foundation. Current board member Rose Stark described her challenges in finding a gift related to the Brown Creeper, Lundin’s favorite bird, and then presented her with a lovely woodcarving of the small songbird. l Sheldon Foundation Executive Director Linda Swanson shared some of the unusual needs Lundin had requested of them, from roofing to funding the Education Plan, and said that more than half of the support Sheldon has provided for Audubon has been during Lundin’s tenure. New York State Assemblyman Andrew Goodell shared his personal history with Audubon and said to Lundin, who came here from a position in Ohio, “You came from outside, but you came inside.” Senior Naturalist Jeff Tome read a warmhearted message from volunteer John Willsie, who was unable to be present.
Craig Thompson is Vice Chair of the Audubon Council of New York State that represents 27 Audubon chapter members. Noting that he once worked at ACNC and is now returning to the area, he praised Lundin for her many initiatives at the state level and pointed out that “there is no ‘I’ in Ruth.” Retired Roger Tory Peterson Institute President Jim Berry said he and Lundin had been colleagues and friends from when they both worked in Ohio. He cited her impact on the national and international levels as former president of the Association of Nature Center Administrators. ACNC board member and founder/ CEO of Whirley Industries in Warren, Pa., Bob Sokolski completed the program by sharing how Lundin engaged him in Audubon. Lundin returned the favor by noting that with Sokolski’s help, Audubon is now presenting education programs in schools throughout Warren County. Those who would like to recognize Lundin’s service to the community can do so with a gift to the Ruth Lundin Environmental Internship Endowment Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. Gifts can be made online at crcfonline.org, by calling the Foundation at (716) 661-3390, or by mailing a check with the name of the fund in the memo line to 418 Spring Street, Jamestown, NY 14701. Audubon’s new president, Leigh Rovegno, is relocating from Colorado and will assume her duties later this summer. Program Director Jennifer Schlick will provide leadership in the interim. Located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, N.Y., and Warren, Pa., Audubon Community Nature Center has more than five miles of beautifully maintained trails on a 600-acre wetland preserve. Its three-story building, open daily, houses the Blue Heron Gift Shop and a collection of live fish, reptiles, and amphibians. One of the most visited exhibits is Liberty, a nonreleasable Bald Eagle, in her outdoor habitat. To learn more about Audubon and its many programs, call (716) 5692345 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.

Why Do Some People Have Dimples?
Dimples are caused by an abnormally short facial muscle. The zygomaticus major, a facial muscle, is attached to the skin of your cheeks. Dimples appear when the muscle pulls hard enough on your cheeks to cause visible indentations on your face. This usually occurs when we speak or smile, when the muscle is contracting.
