Maple Springs Garden Walk features Porches and Posies
Springs not only boasts beautiful gardens and landscaping but also the most welcoming porches. Many of the homes in Maple Springs were built when the front porch was the connection to your neighbors and that tradition condition continues. Over 20 flower-filled gardens and cozy porches are included on the tour for the viewing pleasure of participants. The Garden Walk also includes the much anticipated Chic Boutique Yard Sale. Spearheaded by Bob Terreberry, the Chic Boutique started as a gardener’s yard sale and has evolved to include any type of gently used items.
New to the Garden Walk this year and included in price of ticket, is a talk by Master Gardener, Cheryl Wahlstrom at 11:30am. She will discuss how to attract beneficial bugs in order to manage garden pests while protecting native bees. Plan to bring a chair for the presentation. There will also be a unique basket raffle, a 50-50 and the Maple Springs Volunteer Fire Company will be on hand grilling hot dogs for purchase to benefit the fire department.

HOW SHOPPING LOCALLY CAN HELP YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY
Today’s consumers have more shopping options at their disposal than they did in years past. Though the Internet may put the world at one’s fingertips, more and more shoppers are discovering that buying locally makes for a superior shopping experience. The benefits associated with shopping locally are many, and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than their own communities when planning their next shopping excursions. Keeps money in the local economy Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well. Save money When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers. Diversify your home and lifestyle Shoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores. Larger retailers offer the same products to customers regardless of where those customers live, so a person in California may be decorating his or her home with the same furnishings as a person in North Carolina. But local shops tend to produce more unique items that are not available nationwide. Promote entrepreneurship Small businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth. By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important segment of the national economy. Help establish local pride Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods. Attract other businesses Private and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores. Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons, and other businesses may move in as well. Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.

The Chautauqua Star I usually line with parchment paper, especially when the recipe being made will fill the whole pan. For the crust you can either use refrigerated (pre-made) cookie dough or homemade. My personal preference is homemade, but I haven’t always had the time to do so. Either will work just fine.
Patriotic Fruit Pizza By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
The Fourth of July is this week, and for many of us that means picnic time! At the very least, it’s time to eat some food outside, usually on the grill. What better way to celebrate living in the USA than with a red, white and blue treat? It has become a tradition in our house to have fruit pizza on holidays such as the ‘4th,’ so what better time to share this delicious (and easy) dessert? What is fruit pizza? Sugar cookie ‘pizza,’ cream cheese ‘sauce,’ and fruit instead of toppings. In other words, heaven in pizza form. Another thing to note concerning this recipe, is that you do not have to take the formal pizza shape described here. If you have more than 12 people, you may opt to make individual cookie pizzas. This way you can make as many cookies as you have people ensuring that you have enough for everyone. There is a bit more work involved in mini fruit pizzas, as you have to decorate each one individually, as opposed to all at once. Just a disclaimer if you decide to go that route. More work, but also more dessert...
If you are planning to make the larger, rectangular pizza, remember to take into consideration how many guests will be in attendance and what pattern you will be going with. The pattern will determine how much of each kind of fruit you will need.
Roll out cookie dough to general shape of the cookie sheet, this does not have to be perfect! Place cookie dough on cookie sheet, and press into the edges of the pan. Once again, your cookie crust will be smothered in cream cheese and fruit and will not be visible, so don’t worry about it being perfectly flat.
This recipe makes 12 good sized servings, but if you have more than that number you may want to double the recipe. As far as the shape goes, I did a rectangle shape last year, which was the full size of my cookie sheet. This allowed plenty of space to make a ‘flag’ out of the dessert, and was very easy to cut into squares. Keep in mind that the smaller your pan is, the thicker the crust will be. Without waiting any longer, here is the recipe that you need this week! As always, thank you for reading and happy baking from hbk! Patriotic Fruit Pizza Ingredients Needed: 1 batch sugar cookie dough 1 block cream cheese, softened (16 oz.) 1/4 C. granulated sugar 1/2 Tsp. vanilla extract 3-4 C. fruit (sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare cookie sheet or baking pan.

Bake cookie crust for about 12-15 minutes, or until firm. Allow to cool, then transfer to the plate you will be serving from. While your cookie crust is baking, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. To keep the fruit looking and tasting great, you can use a small amount of apricot preserves mixed with water to brush over the entire pizza. kraft.com recommends pressing the preserves through a sieve to remove any clumps before use. On a side note, I have never taken this extra step. I usually make this dessert the morning of the event or evening before. We keep this dessert in the fridge until it is time to eat and have never had a problem. If you are prepping in advance, you may want to consider ‘preserving’ your fruit. Once the crust is cool, your cream cheese mixture is smooth, and your fruit is ready, you can assemble to your hearts’ content. Have fun decorating, and enjoy!
Chautauqua County Until 1849 the official spelling was CHAUTAUQUE. Chautauqua in the Native American languages translates to: • “bag tied in the middle” - referring to the hour-glass shape of Lake Chautauqua. • “where the fish was taken out” originating from a legend of a huge muskie being caught, and then leaping out of the boat back into the lake. • “the place of easy death” - from another Native American legend about a maiden who, after eating a root which caused a terrible thirst, bent down to drink from the waters of the lake and disappeared into its depths - never to be seen again. Some profess that Chautauqua is of Spanish origins and some say it came from the French. Perhaps we shall never really know its origins.

Chautauqua County Earns Clean Energy Community Designation for its Commitment to Cut Costs and Reduce Energy Consumption Borrello. “This will allow us to further implement clean energy projects in our operations and allow us to reduce costs for our local taxpayers.” “I commend Chautauqua County for setting an example for other communities across the state that want to cut operating costs and reduce energy consumption,” said Alicia Barton, President and CEO, NYSERDA. “Governor Cuomo’s commitment to renewable energy and energy efficiency will deliver substantial economic and environmental benefits for all New Yorkers.”

Contributed Article Chautauqua County Planning & Community Development Chautauqua County today announced it has been designated a Clean Energy Community by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), recognizing its leadership in reducing energy use, cutting costs and driving clean energy locally. Announced by Governor Cuomo in August 2016, the $16 million Clean Energy Communities initiative supports local government leaders across the state by providing grants to eligible municipalities to implement energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainable development projects in their communities. Clean Energy Communities advances the Governor’s Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) strategy by demonstrating the importance of communities in helping New York reach its Clean Energy Standard mandate of having half of the state’s electricity coming from renewable energy resources by 2030. Chautauqua County received the Clean Energy Community designation for completing four of 10 highimpact clean energy actions identified by NYSERDA as part of the Clean Energy Communities initiative. The designation gives Chautauqua County an opportunity to apply for up to $150,000 toward additional clean energy projects, with no local cost share. “As a Clean Energy Community, this designation opens the door for Chautauqua County to access more grant funding,” said Chautauqua County Executive George
In 2016, an Energy Committee, comprised of both public and private sector stakeholders, was tasked by the County Executive to review the Energy Cluster section of Chautauqua County’s 2020 Comprehensive Plan to explore current energy positioning, reliability, and opportunities. Mark Odell, Chairman of the Energy Committee, said “At our formation meeting we looked at the map of New York State, which showed where Clean Energy and Climate Smart Communities in the state were located. At that time, Chautauqua County and the whole Southern Tier was a sea of white with no activity. We quickly knew that we had some serious work to do. With the assistance of the Southern Tier West Regional Planning Board, we gained a better understanding of what the program entailed and what steps we needed to take. Through the collaborative efforts of the County’s Division of Planning and Community Development and the Department of Public Facilities over the past 18 months, Chautauqua County was able to attain its Clean Energy Community designation by NYSERDA. In addition, through the efforts of many of our County’s towns and villages, several local communities have attained this status as well. These important actions are designed to save money, foster a vibrant economy, and improve the environment and public health. These communities, and the County, have received significant grant awards as a reward for their innovative leadership and dedicated efforts. I am very proud to have been involved in the two-year process.” To earn the Clean Energy Community designation, Chautauqua County completed the following highimpact clean energy actions: · Adopted an energy benchmarking policy to track and report energy use in the County’s municipal buildings. · Deployed two all-electric, heavy-duty trucks in the County’s municipal fleet and installed two electric vehicle charging stations. · Participated in Solar Chautauqua, a Solarize campaign to encourage homeowners to install solar panels. · Established an Energize NY Finance Program that enables long-term, affordable financing for energy
efficiency and renewable energy projects at commercial buildings and not-for-profits in the County. Cities, counties, towns and villages that complete at least four of 10 high-impact clean energy actions are designated Clean Energy Communities and are eligible to apply for funding of up to $250,000 with no local cost share and the option of receiving up to 25 percent paid in advance to support additional clean energy projects. At least two of the four actions must have been completed after August 1, 2016. NYSERDA is accepting applications for funding on a rolling basis through September 30, 2019 or until funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. Funds are being provided through the Clean Energy Fund and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Additional clean energy action items communities can take to achieve designation include: Performing energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades to municipal buildings. Implementing Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) so residents can gain greater choice and control over energy use as a group. Earning Climate Smart Communities Certification through the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for developing a comprehensive program to reduce its carbon footprint and improve the environment. · Streamlining local approval processes for solar projects through adoption of the NYS Unified Solar Permit. · Converting streetlights to energy efficient LED technology. · Providing energy code enforcement training to code officers. Once all funding is exhausted for large or small/medium categories in a region, local governments designated a Clean Energy Community are eligible to apply for a $5,000 grant, on a first-come, first-serve basis until such funds are exhausted. Clean Energy Community Coordinators are also available at no charge to help communities to develop and prioritize clean energy goals, access easy-to-use resources such as guidance documents and case studies, and take advantage of available funding and technical assistance opportunities. For more information on Clean Energy Communities, visit www.nyserda.ny.gov/cec. For assistance navigating the program, local government officials or employees can find contact information for their respective coordinator on NYSERDA’s website at www.nyserda. ny.gov/Contractors/Find-a-Contractor/Clean-EnergyCommunity-Coordinators.

Jefferson Middle School Students Donates to the GA Family Services Through EASE Program
Wine Tips Boiling the cork in hot water for a few minutes makes it easier to put back into a wine bottle. Chilling makes wine less sweet. If a red wine is allowed to get too warm, it may lose some of the fruit flavor. Jefferson Middle School students recently presented their donation to GA Family Services Pictured are: Augustine Sprague, Ayonna Jackson, Sara Patterson Advisor from Jefferson Middle School, Lydia Simpson, Jesse Sprague, Darian McCauley, Faith Daniels, Jennifer Nelson and Beth Lamphiere from GA Family Services and Sue Cunningham, Advisor from Jamestown Community Learning Council
Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools [Jamestown, NY] – Jefferson Middle School students recently organized a Summer Toy Drive for kids and families working with GA Family Services. They collected toys for two weeks to donate with the help of Sue Cunningham, Jamestown Community Learning Council’s EASE (Educational Advocacy & Scholastic Enrichment) Program Coordinator. “The students who organized this drive learned that no matter what life is like at home, at school or on the streets, they can make a positive difference in the lives of others and in their own lives,” said Mrs. Cunningham. “Through this project, the kids are having fun, learning new skills and building self-esteem.” The students picked the service project they wanted to work on, set it up, wrote and read announcements over the PA system at Jefferson School and designed a flyer.
Jamestown Community Learning Council’s EASE Program is a partnership with Jamestown Public Schools. EASE provides fun-filled, school-based family engagement events for middle school students and their parents where they learn about NYS curriculum, extracurricular opportunities for students as well as ways parents can become partners in their child’s learning. EASE also offers many enrichment opportunities for adults including parent visitation to their child’s classroom, parent support groups and a variety of workshops by community specialists. Gustavus Adolphus (G.A.) Family Services is founded on a tradition of caring and compassion toward youth that reflects its heritage back to 1885. They provide a full continuum of services for at-risk youth and their families including a residential and group home level of care, a Chapter 853 education program, therapeutic foster care, traditional foster care and preventative services.
By swirling wine in the glass, oxygen enters the wine, allowing the aroma to better escape. The ideal serving temperature for wines: Whites: Chilled (45-55 degrees) for a few hours. Reds: Slightly cooler than room temperature (about 65 degrees). Younger fruity reds especially benefit from chilling. Sparkling: Thoroughly chilled, refrigerate several hours or the night before serving. Dessert: Room temperature. When serving several types of wines, they should be offered in the following orders: dry before sweet, white before red, light before heavy, less before finer, young before old. This allows the tastebuds to better adapt to increasing strength and complexity. Simply removing the cork and letting a bottle of wine sit for an hour or so does nothing to better help it “breathe” - it should instead be poured into a serving decanter or pitcher, which will allow oxygen to reach the wine. Decanting is typically done to remove sediment from older wines, though it can also help in softening younger red wines. For younger wines, it is best to decant sooner, while older wines should be decanted closer to consumption.

State Working to Help Businesses Borrow through LDP A move in Albany to increase the lifetime cap on the amount a company can borrow through a state program was approved in the Assembly in the 2018 legislative session, but has been stalled in the Senate. Assemblyman Robin Schimminger of Kenmore sponsored the bill at the request of Empire State Development. It calls for increasing the lifetime cap on the amount a company may borrow through the state’s Excelsior Linked Deposit Program. The LDP leverages low-interest loans to small and medium sized businesses in New York State from participating lenders, which in turn receive state deposits that earn a comparably reduced rate of return. It allows companies to expand or improve through financially stable investments. Assemblyman Schimminger noted that 71 companies have already reached the lifetime maximum of $2-million under the program. His bill would increase that lifetime maximum to $5-million. The Excelsior Linked Deposit Program is available to manufacturers with 500 or fewer full-time employees in New York State, as well as service businesses that are independently owned and have 100 or fewer full-time employees in the state. Empire State Development must approve the eligibility of the project and most businesses qualify for an interest rate reduction of up to 2-percent. There are currently 74 lenders participating in the program. Schimminger notes, “Small businesses already face a variety of unique challenges...and it is imperative
they continue to thrive.” This measure received bipartisan support in the State Assembly where it was approved 139-2. Local Assemblyman Andrew Goodell voted for it. A companion bill was cosponsored by Senator Cathy Young, but did not come to the floor for a vote during this past legislative session. As New York State works towards become more business friendly we hope this bill will be considered again in the next legislative session.

Poetry Event in Falconer
World-renowned spoken word artist, Levi MacAllister, better known as Levi the Poet, will be putting on a nearby show as part of the Northeastern portion of his current tour. Levi's poetry covers incredibly important topics and speaks like to those in tough situations. Born the introverted son of a father whose mental illness led to suicide, and a mother who clung to her faith, Levi turned to writing as a therapeutic means of private expression. At the age of 18, he began to share his work in the form of spoken word poetry. Levi's broad taste in everything from hardcore to hip-hop has resulted in a unique contribution to the genre that seems to both fit and transcend it.Through blunt lyricism and a captivating audiovisual production, his performances are a wholly immersive experience: an invitation to an audience that might see itself in his stories, and complete them.
The event will be on Thursday, August 2nd at 7pm, and it will take place in the Levant Community Room in Falconer, NY. This event will include 3 local openers: Mason Premo, owner of Premo Leather; local poet Adriana Roehmholdt; and event host & founder of Rhema Poetry, Faith Gibbons. Tickets are $8 and can be found here: levithepoetaugust2.eventbrite.com For more information, visit the link above or contact Faith at: faith.wappat@live.com

Contributed Article
Auditions will be held Monday, July 9 and Tuesday, July 10 for “Ain’t Missin’ Dinner!”, a cabaret-style mini-musical written by local playwright, Tom Andolora. The auditions will be held at First Lutheran Church in Jamestown, 120 Chandler St in Jamestown from 5-8pm each evening. Andolora is collaborating with Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care to bring the popular cabaret musical that he co-authored back to Chautauqua as a fundraiser. Performances will be on consecutive weekends in October at First Lutheran Church in Jamestown and the Williams Center at The State University of New York at Fredonia. This cabaret-style performance is a minimusical with a plot that is set at a convention for the “Chubby and Proud Support Group” at the Hilton Hotel in Savannah, Georgia. Audience members become convention goers as they arrive to “register,” then hear the “testimonials” of other conventioneers. “We’re seeking performers of all shapes, sizes, races and ages,” said Andolora. “I wrote this musical based on my own struggle with weight during my youth. It is a fun-spirited celebration of who we are, not what others expect us to be. We need performers who are proud, funny and can sing the gospel of food!” Characters include Dottie May, the gracious, quick-witted Southern Belle who hosts the convention. Melissa is from NYC and fanaticizes about being a trendsetting celebrity model. Bill is a sincere, Midwesterner best played by a high baritone of tenor. Gloria, proud of her size and willing to tell everyone about it, sings a robust gospel number. Finally, three or four waiters are active in the show and provide choral support. Detailed descriptions of the characters, as well as audition requirements can be found at www. ChubbyAndProud.com. Volunteers are needed. Help with technical aspects, ushers and ticket sales should be directed to the CHPC offices at 338-0033, x218. Performance locations and dates will be October 5th and 6th in Jamestown at the First Lutheran Church Parlors at 120 Chandler Street. The Fredonia performances will be on October 12th and 13th at the State University of New York at Fredonia in the Williams Center Multi-Purpose Room.

[Jamestown, NY] – Persell Middle School’s Produce Patch was recently filled with potential gardeners at their first Community Garden Event. Persell’s Family & Community Engagement Committee partnered up with the Persell Produce Patch to hold the event in the school garden. Teachers, Lina Scoma, Devyn Agett and Annika Putney helped spearhead the Produce Patch Garden. “This is the third summer with our Produce Patch and each year we keep expanding and adding more things. It is completely run by Persell students including a Garden Club that meets once a week,” said Mrs. Putney. “We will be open in the summer on Mondays and Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and we invite anyone to come over and help us pull some weeds and pick some vegetables. We are very excited about our garden and very passionate about what we are doing with the kids and community at our
school.” In addition to touring the garden, the event invited students and families from Persell, Lincoln and Fletcher Schools and the local community to visit three stations: Linnea Carlson from Jamestown Public Market conducting blind taste tests of fruits and vegetables and talking about their “Sprouts” summer program, Master Gardeners and “Garden Grandparents,” Jim Cowan and Janet Forbes, helped participants plant seeds, Mary Maxwell from Jamestown Renaissance Corp. read about the Three Sisters garden to go along with the food demo Molly Howell from Eat Smart New York was doing, which included two of the sisters, corn and beans. Thank you to the many donors including: Brigotta’s, Mike’s Nursery, Roger Tory Peterson Institute, Audubon Community Nature Center and Biodome Project, who gave amazing door prizes for the event.
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, received the green light from New York State officials on May 15, 2018 to begin its Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) award funded renovation project. Robert H. Jackson Center President Susan Moran Murphy made the announcement. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on August 9, 2017 that the Jackson Center was awarded $1.5 million to “undertake needed upgrades to improve the visitor experience to the Jackson Center and enable the center to grow as a local cultural and historical anchor institution. Upgrades to the historic 1858 mansion that houses the center will include stabilizing and improving the structure, modernizing infrastructure, and creating more useable space that enhances the center’s collection and is conducive to program expansion opportunities. The upgrades will improve the facility’s visitor experience and enable more productive partnerships with local, regional, national, and international groups.” Since August 2017, the Jackson Center has been working with its assigned program director from New York State Homes & Community Renewal (NYSHCR), City of Jamestown representatives, and other agencies involved in the project to complete all required submissions and approvals. On May 15, 2018, the Jackson Center was notified by NYSHCR that work
could commence on the project. The Jackson Center has hired LaBella Associates to provide full architectural and engineering services for the project. David A. Walter of Walter Management, PLLC will be part of the team for the duration of LaBella’s services. Several less visible phases of the project must be completed before construction activities can begin. The Jackson Center currently anticipates construction will begin in late winter/early spring of 2019 and last approximately 12 months. Construction should not affect the fulsome Jackson Center programs schedule, however, visitors will be asked to “pardon our dust” at times during the construction phase. “We would like to express our deep gratitude to the leaders and members of the Scottish Right Freemasons Valley of Jamestown for partnering with us to make this renovation project possible within the timeframe necessary,” said Susan Moran Murphy. “And, we thank our dedicated volunteers from Cummins, Inc. Jamestown Engine Plant for providing their muscle power, knowledge, and can-do attitude on Wednesday, June 6 and two previous occasions, to clear out heavy items from key areas targeted for this project. Cummins is a great partner of the Jackson Center and in the larger community.” 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.
