CHAUTAUQUA LAKE ASSOCIATION Jamestown Board Member, ANNOUNCES DENIM AND DIAMONDS Nina Karbacka, FUNDRAISER FOR THE LAKE Receives NYSSBA Recognition
Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools

LAKEWOOD, N.Y. (May 17,

This event is a celebration of Chautauqua Lake while helping to raise funds and awareness of lake issues. “Chautauqua Lake is our most precious natural resource. Celebrating its beauty and the collaborated efforts that go into keeping it safe deserve recognition,” stated CLA President Paul Stage. “This event pays tribute to the hard work, year round, that is necessary for all lake users to have an enjoyable summer season on Chautauqua Lake,” said Stage.
The Denim and Diamonds event features dinner and drinks prepared by EBC, live music performed by The Untouchables, silent auction, prizes, and more. Diamond inspired jewelry and denim attire are encourage to support the event theme of Chautauqua Lake being the area’s crown jewel. Aside from the event, this summer the CLA will be celebrating its 65th year of stewardship and lake maintenance. Through those years their programs have evolved to meet the changing demands of Chautauqua Lake. What has not changed is their dedication to their mission. “We are very excited for summer to arrive. Our equipment is ready to launch. We are accepting applications and contacting our returning summer crews. We have many community events like

TACKLE HOME MAINTENANCE PROJECTS TO SAVE MONEY
Much like the upkeep on your car, tackling home maintenance on a regular basis will prevent problems from developing and save you from larger repair costs down the road. Some projects should be left to the professionals, but there are plenty of weekend jobs that any homeowner can easily handle, like these: Inspect your roof and make minor repairs. Winter can be especially hard on a roof. Look for ice, hail or water damage. Replace any cracked or missing shingles and clear any debris. Clean your gutters. It's not glamorous work, but your home's gutters play an essential role in moving water away from your home and preventing damage. Consider installing gutter guards to ensure your gutters remain functional and free from debris. Inspect windows and doors and re-caulk where necessary. Because a proper seal is essential in both heating and cooling seasons, this job should be performed twice a year to protect against drafts and moisture, and to keep insects out. Worn weather stripping should also be replaced. Check your insulation. Attics should be insulated to R50, which can usually be achieved with an insulation depth of at least 16 inches. Top up with an insulation product that is water repellant and fire resistant. Don't forget to ensure that your basement headers are insulated properly to prevent overworking your furnace and air conditioner. Other simple jobs include fixing leaky faucets, repairing and resealing decks, inspecting the foundation and scheduling a check-up for your HVAC system. The key is being honest about what you can handle and, when in doubt, call in the pros.

Mrs. Miller has received training in early childhood leadership, cognitive coaching, assessment and student success in a differentiated classroom and NWEA.
“I am very excited to become the principal at Ring Elementary School,” said Mrs. Miller. “I began 27 years ago in Jamestown Schools as an elementary school teacher and it is a full-circle moment for me to go back to my roots and passion to become one of our amazing elementary schools principals. I am looking forward to working with the fantastic staff, students, families and Ring Elementary School community to create a loving, learning atmosphere. It takes a community to raise a child.” Mrs. Miller holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Clarion University, a Master of Science degree in Reading Education from the State University of New York College at Fredonia and an Educational Leadership: Principal Certification from Gannon University.

2. In a large saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and sugar. My original recipe did not say what size saucepan to use and we quickly had an emergency on our hands. I’m trying to spare you, here. 3. Stir in milk. I used reduced fat, 2% because it’s what our kids drink, but whole milk definitely would add to the flavor.
Boston Cream Cake By Katy Wise
Which is precisely why we are not going to be calling this cake that is clearly a cake, a pie.
4. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Do NOT stop stirring. You will get a thick, undesirable buildup on the bottom of your pan.
If someone knows the history of why it’s called that, feel free to contact us, because I have always wondered.
5. Remove from heat, gradually stir 1 cup of the milk and sugar mixture into the egg yolks.
Contributing Writer
There is a slight chance that I have shared a similar recipe for this dessert before. This version, however, has a dramatic improvement. This was the first time that I have tried making pudding from scratch. Yes, it might shock you. It shocked me when I realized, ‘oh, I’ve actually never tried that before.’ You see, I have some things that I hold against boxed ingredients. I just don’t prefer for them. Sometimes there’s just no avoiding that, and I don’t absolutely refuse to use them. If there’s an alternative, though, I’m taking it. Something about all the unknown ingredients and preservatives, and then there’s the fact that some of it just doesn’t even taste like real food.
This recipe is more of a two-part recipe, since it has a full recipe for one of its components. We’ll go ahead and call this a buy one get one recipe, a ‘BOGO,’ for all of my fellow shoppers out there. Without any further delay… Here are the two recipes that you need to make this cake. You may also notice that I remembered to take a picture… but only after the cake had been cut and served to our entire family. Still working on that detail. As always, thanks for reading, and happy baking from hbk!
On the subject of cake, the question was brought up as to why this particular recipe is most often referred to as a pie. Even though it is most definitely a cake…
Boston Cream Cake Yellow cake, 2 round layers 2 C Vanilla pudding, prepared 1 ½ C Chocolate chips ¼ C Butter Straw!
3. Evenly spread 1 cup of pudding across the cake layer, then let sit for about 10 minutes. Add more pudding, reserving a few tablespoons’ worth for the top layer, filling all of the holes.
I am just pro-homemade. The extra effort to eliminate extra chemicals and things that are either bad for us, or no one really knows whether or not they’re bad.
Recently we celebrated a birthday, and this was the birthday boy’s favorite cake.
8. Transfer pudding to a medium bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Can be served either warm or cold, but will take about 3 hours to chill.
2. Immediately after the bottom cake layer comes out of the oven, poke all over with a straw.
That is one hundred percent not my purpose behind any of these articles.
All things in moderation, right?
7. Stir in butter and vanilla.
1. Prepare vanilla pudding before making your cake, or while the cake is in the oven.
I’m not a food snob by any means. This also isn’t intended to make anyone feel like they’ve made poor baking choices.
That isn’t to say that I’m over here saying that desserts made with pure sugar are good for you, there’s balance…
6. Stir the egg mixture into the milk and sugar remaining in the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, then cook and stir (keep on stirring!) for 2 more minutes.
Vanilla Pudding ¾ C Sugar 3 TBSP Cornstarch 3 C Whole milk or reduced fat 2% milk 4 Egg yolks, beaten 1 TBSP Butter 1 ½ tsp Vanilla extract 1. Place egg yolks in a separate bowl, leaving a little room to stir some ingredients in.
4. Spread remaining pudding across top, then stick in the fridge so the pudding can firm up. About 20 minutes. This will take less time if you make your pudding a few hours in advance, or the night before. 5. Using a microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt your chocolate chips and butter together, in 30 second increments. Stir after each time. You should have a smooth mixture after the second time in the microwave. 6. Slowly pour and spread across the cake. A tablespoon is perfect for this task. Let refrigerate 45 minutes to an hour before serving. Enjoy!

Friday, June 8, 2018 • 5 Events MHA Group Celebrates World Wide Knit in Public Day and Jamestown Public Market Opening, Saturday, June 9
The Chautauqua Star
welcome to participate and, like all of the MHA’s services and programs, there is no charge. Forbes, an RN who worked in health care and non-profit organizations before her retirement, has been fascinated by the wealth of recent research that confirms the many benefits of knitting - her lifelong passion. Knitting is linked to reducing depression, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness and isolation. While distracting from chronic pain, it increases a sense of wellbeing, accomplishment, and inclusion in society. Knitting provides a portable, easy to learn skill that calms the mind and keeps a person’s hands happily occupied while creating beautiful items for oneself or a gift for family and friends.
e
“We have been delighted with the joy that the participants express with learning a new skill that helps them self-calm and focus while knitting beautiful hats, scarves, and baby items. It is such fun to listen to needles clicking as we chat and learn together,” said Forbes. “Knitting with a variety of yarn textures and colors gives knitters an opportunity to express their creativity and enjoy the tactile and visual aspects of fiber arts.”
Members of the Mental Health Association’s Knitting for Wellbeing group are looking forward to sharing their new passion on World Wide Knit in Public Day during the Jamestown Public Market’s opening day, Saturday, June 9. Pictured working on their latest projects are group members, from left, Gloria Pacheco, Dan Carson, and Krystina Papaserge.

Jamestown, N.Y. – Saturday, June 9, not only marks the opening of the Jamestown Public Market, it is also World Wide Knit in Public Day. To celebrate both these events, the Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County’s (MHA) Knitting for Wellbeing group will be part of the Market’s Opening Day festivities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at its location between Second and Third Streets in downtown Jamestown. Group members will share their love of knitting and its therapeutic value, while staff and board members showcase all the services and collaborations. In February, community volunteers Janet Forbes and Jeanette Moore started the Knitting for Wellbeing group that meets at 10 a.m. on Wednesdays. Anyone is
Begun in 2005, World Wide Knit in Public Day is the largest knitter-run event in the world. Last year there were 1,125 Knit-In-Public local events, each put together by a volunteer or a group of volunteers. Events have been held in 54 different countries including Australia, China, England, Finland, France, Ireland, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, United States and more. A United Way Partner Organization since 2015, the MHA is located at 31 Water Street, Door 14, in the rear of the Gateway Center. The peer-run organization offers support services to people with substance use disorders and all other forms of mental health diagnosis. The MHA works in collaboration with local treatment providers, other non-profits, communitybased partners, and treatment courts to empower individuals in attaining their goals.

St. Luke’s Announces Summer Kayak Mass Dates
Contributed Article
All paddlers, regardless of experience, are invited to join the Rev. Luke Fodor and friends this year for another summer season of outdoor worship on the waters of Chautauqua County. Fodor, who is Rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown, has been leading the Kayak Mass/ Canoeucharist excursions on Chautauqua and Cassadaga Lake each summer since he moved to the area four years ago. He feels that these type of experiential worship opportunities offer people a way to celebrate God’s beauty in nature while enjoying the fellowship of other like-minded individuals. “Our group paddles have become a way for participants to break away from their normal Sunday habits and experience ‘church’ in a new way.” says Fodor. “The gatherings are not just about worship, but also about community and nature. We have been joined by all types of individuals, whether they were young or old, church-goers or not, all coming together to be inspired and awed by our surroundings.” There will be a total of four monthly services on June 17th, July 8th, August 19st and September 16th from 4 to 6pm. Launch sites will be determined near the day of each event and will be selected to accommodate weather conditions. The community is invited to participate in any or all of the events, regardless of their religious affiliation.
Participants should bring their own canoes, kayaks, or paddleboards. There will also be a limited number of rentals available through Evergreen Outfitters, who will deliver the kayaks and equipment to the launch site. Anyone interested in renting should contact Evergreen in advance at 716763-2266. The two-hour paddle outings are suitable for all levels of experience. The events are family friendly and novice paddlers are especially welcome. For many, the Kayak Mass was their first experience at paddling. “The Kayak Mass is something that we look forward to every summer. It is a great way to get out on the lake.” says one participant. “My wife and I had always wanted to try kayaking but had never really had the opportunity. The first time we came out the people from Evergreen Outfitters helped us determine exactly what kind of kayak was right for us and even gave us a bit of instruction before we set out. The group is welcoming and helpful and the outings are quite relaxing - even for beginners.” Reservations are not required, but paddlers are asked to contact the church office at 716-483-6405 the Friday before each service, so that they can communicate the launch site and any changes in plans. St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is located at 410 North Main Street, Corner of Fourth and Main, Jamestown, NY. For more information about any of the church’s offerings visit their website: www.stlukesjamestown.org

HISTORY OF THE POPSICLE®
The Popsicle® brand is an American classic, with more than 30 creative variations of the original Popsicle® product. And believe it or not, it all started with an accident! In 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson left a mixture of powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick in a cup on his porch. It was a cold night, and Epperson awoke the next morning to find a frozen pop. He called it the “Epsicle.” It was a hit with his friends at school, and later with his own kids. They constantly called for “Pop’s ‘sicle.” So in 1923, Epperson changed the name and applied for a patent. A couple of years later, Epperson sold the rights to the brand name Popsicle® to the Joe Lowe Company in New York. The rest is history!
Great News! Hope Chautauqua assisted in increasing Chautauqua County’s medication drop box sites from five to six with the newest location at the Lakewood-Busti Police Department, 20 W Summit St, Lakewood. Medication drop box sites allow local residents to drop off their unused, unwanted or expired medications with the goal to keep our communities safer and healthier. “The installation of the drug drop box at Lakewood-Busti Police station is a positive step toward assisting the community in taking potentially dangerous drugs off the street and being able to properly dispose of them” said John Bently, Chief of the Lakewood-Busti Police Department.

Contributed Article Conewango Creek Watershed Association
The County of Chautauqua registered this cleanup as one of their official “Earth Day” organized events, which allows for the disposing of trash and tires at no cost. Other agencies and businesses partnering in this cleanup effort included the US Forest Service—Allegheny National Forest, which provided a jet boat and crew, Rock of WNY, which provided a barge with crane, and Bestway Disposal, which provided a 30 cubic yard dumpster. The CLA provided 2 barges, a crane and crew. The Conservation District provided a dump truck for tires and volunteers. The barges and the jet boat were instrumental in hoisting some very large and heavy items out of the lake, including two large wooden docks, several concrete piers, hundreds of pounds of old railroad materials, large tractor-sized tires, and other industrial and commercial waste. Sue Nielsen, CCWA board member stated, “Thank you to all of our partners that have come on board the last few years. The addition of the dump truck, jet boat, barges and cranes have been critical additions to removing large items efficiently, reducing how many times volunteers must handle the same material while reducing the risk of injury to our volunteers. We look forward to working with everyone again next year.”
The Fourth Annual Chautauqua Lake Cleanup was held on Saturday, May 19 from 8 am to 2:30pm. Despite dreary and intermittent rainy weather, a robust crew of 21 volunteers scoured the shorelines by various watercraft to collect 54 tires, 12 cubic yards of trash and 1,020 pounds of mixed metals. The metals were recycled, and the tires were taken to the Chautauqua County Landfill to be properly disposed. This year’s cleanup was co-hosted by Conewango Creek Watershed Association (CCWA), Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA), Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy (CWC), Chautauqua Co. Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Chautauqua Lake and Watershed Management Alliance (CLWMA). Once again, the Chautauqua Lake Fishing Association provided its property for registration and donated coffee and doughnuts in the morning and cooked a hot dog and hamburger lunch after the cleanup. The staging area was moved to McCrea Point Park in Jamestown this year for easier transport of trash and boats on and off the water.

NYSDOT ANNOUNCES THE COMPLETION OF SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS AT FACILITIES IN WESTERN NEW YORK Three State Department of Transportation Sites to Be Powered by Solar Panels Contributed Article NYSDOT
New York State Department of Transportation Acting Commissioner Paul A. Karas today announced the completed installation of solar energy systems at three New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) properties in Western New York. The solar pilot project included placement of groundmounted solar panel systems at: • Interstate 290/990 Pump Station, Erie County • Sherman Maintenance SubResidency, Chautauqua County • Interstate 86 Rest Area, Bemus Point, Chautauqua County “Under Governor Cuomo’s continued leadership, New York State has furthered its commitment to clean energy innovation, reliability and affordability,” Acting Commissioner Karas said. “The installation of solar panels at DOT facilities in Western New York is expected to provide approximately 80 percent of the power normally used at those facilities with clean, green energy. This is a true win-win project for our Department and the State of New York.” Governor Cuomo has been a national leader on the issue of global climate change and this effort is consistent with his initiatives to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 (“40-by-30”).
The solar installation was completed by CIR Electrical Construction Corp. of Buffalo in Erie County, and was administered through a partnership between NYSDOT and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), which will be providing incentives towards the solar panel installation costs through the NY-Sun program. Alicia Barton, President and CEO of NYSERDA, said, “New York State continues to lead the nation in advancing and adopting clean energy, and Governor Cuomo’s NY-Sun initiative is one example of how the state is ‘walking the talk’ by powering its own facilities with solar energy. These projects showcase how accessible solar energy has become for public entities, businesses, and residents alike who want to lower their energy bills, reduce their carbon footprint and ensure cleaner, greener communities for future generations.” NYSDOT is funding the project through a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement with the solar provider. Under the agreement, the provider will continue to own and operate the panels and NYSDOT will buy the power they produce at a set rate. The total production output of the systems is approximately 345,600 kilowatthours of energy per year. Follow New York State DOT on Twitter: @NYSDOT and @ NYSDOTBuffalo.

Washington School Students Place 2nd in Chautauqua Institution Battle of the Books
Washington Middle School’s “Northside Knows” celebrate a 2nd place finish at Chautauqua Institution’s Battle of the Books. Pictured are: Coach Elizabeth Rowe-Baehr (mother of Mathis and JPS teacher), Jackson Kresge, Mathis Baehr, David Zampogna, Belle Johnson and Kate Kathman
Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools
[Jamestown, NY] – The Washington Middle School “Northside Knows” recently placed second in Chautauqua Institution’s Battle of the Books. JHS teacher and parent, Betsy Rowe-Baehr, coached the fifth grade team of Mathis Baehr, Belle Johnson, Kate Kathman, Jackson Kresge and David Zampogna. They will receive a trophy and medallions for their win.
As part of the Battle of the Books competition, the teams received 12 selected texts to read over the last few months. The “Northside Knows” put in place a rotating schedule and goals, as each student finished; they passed the book on to another reader. The team met five times throughout the experience to build team spirit, encourage one another to review and study the plot details, key quotations, and illustrations, and set reading goals to become “experts” on select texts.
“This is the first year Jamestown Schools has participated in the competition,” said Mrs. Rowe-Baehr. “As both a mother and teacher in Jamestown Public Schools, it was an honor to coach and represent such a dynamic group of eager readers and cool kids. They were open to the process and supportive of one another throughout the challenge. They worked very hard, even when they were challenged. I think they were pleasantly surprised by genres that they had not typically read and it was exciting to see them discuss the stories and surprises along the way.” The team travelled to Chautauqua Institution to participated in the Battle of the Books competition with other local fifth grade teams. Battle of the Books gets Chautauqua County fifth-graders excited about reading. A lively academic competition, Battle of the Books improves reading comprehension, builds vocabulary, and teaches teamwork and good sportsmanship. Teams of five students and one adult coach each read the same 12 pre-assigned books over five months. Selected in conjunction with Chautauqua Institution’s CLSC Young Readers Program, titles include a wide range of reading levels and subjects. Thanks to generous donors, all teams receive a set of books. During the “battle,” a moderator asked approximately 50 trivia questions that relate to one of the following: a direct quote from one of the book characters; a statement about something that happens in the book; a passage taken directly from the book; details about an illustration or picture. After each question, popular and upbeat music blared and the team danced, rocked hands in the air and chanted “Northside Knows.” The team also dressed up with funny nose glasses, t-shirts, and per Jackson Kresge’s request, Booker T. Washington pins to honor the work and dedication to learning that as an African American educator and intellectual of the early 20th century, Washington demonstrated in the spirit of learning. The team also created a poster with a quote from Washington, “Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.”
