Many Activities at Audubon’s Monarch Butterfly Festival, Saturday, August 25 At 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. you can take a nature walk led by a naturalist. If you stay till the Festival’s close at 4 p.m., you can watch the Monarchs when they are released to fly to Mexico. Be sure to bring your camera: Getting your picture taken as a giant caterpillar or butterfly is just one of many photo opportunities you won’t want to miss. Scouts and other children can earn the right to purchase a Monarch Butterfly Fun Patch, available on a first come first served basis. Visit the Welcome Desk at the Nature Center when you arrive for a list of requirements. You can also explore the Ted Grisez arboretum and additional gardens, exhibits of live fish, reptiles, and amphibians, and Liberty, Audubon’s resident Bald Eagle, in her outdoor home. The Blue Heron Gift Shop will feature butterfly items from books to t-shirts in addition to the usual treasure trove of puppets, puzzles, jewelry, notecards, handcrafted walking sticks, books and field guides, bird feeders and seed, and locally-produced soaps and edibles. The once abundant Monarch Butterfly has been disappearing from the landscape in recent years, though it is slowly recovering from record low populations. All Monarchs were hand-raised at ACNC for this event and to increase the local Monarch population. As you see from this young lady’s reaction, something magical happens when you get close to a real live butterfly. At Audubon Community Nature Center’s Monarch Butterfly Festival on Saturday, August 25, you and your young ones can hold both a real butterfly and a real caterpillar and inspect their eggs and chrysalises as well. Then take your picture with their human-sized cutouts, have some great food, and enjoy many more activities.

Jamestown, N.Y. – The magic of live butterflies makes their exhibits major attractions at botanical gardens and tourist destinations. You can experience an indoor butterfly garden and many more delights at Audubon Community Nature Center’s (ACNC) Monarch Butterfly Festival on Saturday, August 25. Beginning at 10 a.m., you can hand-feed the butterflies or wander over to see how citizen scientists tag them to track their migration to Mexico. Observe their life cycle as you examine Monarch eggs, hold caterpillars, and perhaps even see a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis. Keep in mind that colorful clothes tend to attract the Monarchs, and be prepared for activities both inside and out. Tour the outdoor butterfly garden and learn how to create one of your own. Then use a net to catch insects around the pond, take a nature hike or selfguided walk, or get a Monarch tattoo. You can purchase great food from 3 C’s Food Truck.
Festival admission is $8, $6 for Nature Center members and children ages 3-15, and free for two and under. Parking is free.

The Fact Remains – Western New York Needs Power Generation Despite the NRG decision to pull out of the repowering plan for the Dunkirk facility there remains a need for power generation in Western New York. There are several issues being faced by residents and businesses as a result of Dunkirk facility being offline. There is a lack of base load power generation in the region. There are issues with power reliability. This summer we have witnessed price spikes as a result of inadequate power generation. If our hope is to sustain and grow our existing businesses and encourage new businesses to move into the region repowering the Dunkirk facility is essential.
Not only is the loss of power generation at the Dunkirk facility a blow to the economy it will create financial challenges across the entire county. NRG has been the largest county taxpayer for a very long time and a mothballed or even closed plant represents substantially lower tax revenue than a fully operational plant. The loss of good paying jobs is significant as well. At the moment there are stop-gap measures in place to help ease the blow to the property tax losses for the City of Dunkirk, the Dunkirk School District, and Chautauqua County. In the long term, the loss of the power plant will result in a substantial tax revenue losses, which could dramatically increase levies for all other taxpayers or result in a significant decrease in public services.
There was a herculean effort on the part of many who worked closely together and tirelessly on the repowering effort. Senator Cathy Young, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Dunkirk Mayor Rosas, labor and business leaders and community groups built a strong coalition in support of repowering the Dunkirk facility. As a community, we all came together to advocate for the repowering effort. We
P A
cannot let the major setback of the NRG decision prevent our community from repowering the Dunkirk facility. Ideally a private firm will emerge that is interested in repowering the facility. The community should also be thinking about the viability of forming a municipal utility. There is a great deal of experience with running a municipal facility and utilizing natural gas for power generation at the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities. It seems to us that the JBPU has a very valuable knowledge base that may have some insight on utilization of the Dunkirk facility. The community rallied in support of NRG and repowering of the Dunkirk plant. It would be our hope that during this process of identifying a means of repowering, that NRG work collaboratively towards a solution. Western New York needs Dunkirk produced electrical power and it will take continued engagement from the community to make that happen.

A CAPPELLA PERFORMANCE AT LAKESIDE PARK IN MAYVILLE
Contributed Article Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce
The featured performers for the August 23, 2018 performance of the Entertainment in the Park Summer Concert Series will be ‘The Lake Effect’, an all-male a cappella group hailing from the Buffalo, NY area. This concert will take place from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at Lakeside Park, located along the shores of Chautauqua Lake, in the Village of Mayville NY. Members of the group are Ron Veiders, Matthew Sciara, Andy Pacer, Scott Panfil, and Mark Marinaccio. Now in its 17th year, this 5-member all-male a cappella group uses all vocals to perform originals and covers of your favorite songs, from the Beatles to Justin Timberlake. They are a talented group of performers who give another definition to the term ‘the lake effect’ and who are unified in one common goal: the promotion and performance of allmale a cappella music in Western New York. These performers graced our concert stage two years ago with their unique, musical style, and we are very pleased to welcome them back this year for another great performance. Rainbow the Clown (Jerry Stimson) will also be on hand to entertain the children with face painting and balloon sculptures. Rainbow is a favorite with the children and they’re sure to have a great time as well. The Entertainment in the Park musical performances are provided at no cost to the public through the sponsorship and support of the Village of Mayville and Town of Chautauqua. In case of rain, the performance will take place in the Carlson Community

Rosemary-Lemon All-Purpose Cleaning Spray
2 sprigs rosemary Peels of 2 lemons 2 cups water 2 cups white vinegar
In a one quart jar, combine rosemary, lemon peels, water and vinegar. Allow to rest 10-14 days in a cool location to allow oils to infuse. Strain lemon peels and rosemary and transfer liquid to a spray bottle for use. If desired, lemon peels and rosemary may be placed directly inside the spray bottle. The scent will intensify over time before breaking down and the bottle will look great sitting on the shelf.

A 50/50 drawing will be held at each of the concerts this summer benefiting the Mayville/ Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce (organizers of this annual concert series) and its work in the community, with the winner announced just before the end of each performance. The Maple Springs Fire Department will be selling delicious BBQ dinners at each of our concerts this summer, benefiting their Fire Department. The Mayville Fire Department also offers popcorn and water at each of these performances on a donation basis, for the benefit of their Fire Department. Your support of these two essential and important organizations is greatly appreciated.

Plan on coming to Mayville’s Lakeside Park the evening of August 23rd for a memorable and unique performance on the shores of beautiful Chautauqua Lake. As a correction, please note that there is a slight change in the August 16, 2018 concert information. Instead of Rainbow the Clown (Jerry Stimson) at that performance, his daughter, Nicole Guerra of Fairy Tale Fun, will be on hand to entertain the children. Rainbow will be back for the August 23rd performance. We have wonderful entertainment planned this summer, and we hope you’ll join us for an evening of relaxation, music, food and fun.

The Chautauqua Star reading just can’t be duplicated in other ways. We have been reading at least two times a day in order to spend time together, to learn, and to keep that reading skill intact while school isn’t in session. Reading is one of the simplest, most fun, and most affordable ways to spend time with your child, even before they can read themselves.
Back to School Crash Course
As easy as it is to do some of these things, regression when it comes to reading and school is not something that any parent wants.
Our two younger children are not reading on their own yet, so we have been going over other skills that we can brush up on before school resumes.
It’s not a matter of beating your children over the book with a head or making them read before they get to go outside.
Reviewing our alphabet and numbers, both by writing them and identifying them.
It can be about taking the book outside with you and getting to do both things at once.
One of the most fun ways that we’ve found so far is sprinkle writing. This is, of course, one of the many helpful parenting finds on Pinterest.
By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
We filled a baking pan with sprinkles, then used our fingers or a paint brush to practice writing each letter.
It’s that time of year again! Time for school supplies, backpacks and time to get back on a normal sleep schedule.
Our five-year old is practicing his grip on the brush and identifying whether each letter is upper case or lower case. The pan also gives him enough room to work on his name, and at the end some superhero drawing just because he can.
This is a bit different of a subject from what we normally talk about, but it’s something that has been a goal in our household this summer. From the time that I was very young, I was a reader. I was never one of those kids that complained of boredom, I simply found a book or a craft to do. Summer was something that I looked forward to because it meant more time to read Nancy Drew and play in the creek. Like most parents, I have tried to instill a love of reading in our children since they were very young. Reading at bedtime and trying to encourage them to read on their own as well. Yes, even before they can actually string those words together. During a season that tries to take advantage of the outdoors, it can be easy to forget your normal habits. Lots of us find ourselves skipping some of our normal meals in order to spend more time outdoors or prolonging the time in between house cleaning.
The youngest kiddo in our house prefers to use just her index finger and would really rather eat the sprinkles. Which we’re working on and having fun throughout the process! For your child, it might just take seeing their parents read first, and realizing that it really is a lifelong skill. Not just a skill, but something that can enrich their lives if they let it. ‘Readers become leaders,’ is something that I’ve heard many times in my life, and it’s true! People who have the desire to continually gain more knowledge, generally tend to lead others. This isn’t to say that every child is a leader, or that they need to be a leader. Simply to state that knowledge gained by reading will further a child in the best ways, and the vast majority of skills and information picked up through
August is the perfect time to squeeze in some of these activities, whether you’re a stay at home mom, a working mom, a dad looking to squeeze in some extra fun with your kids or a grandparent who wants to help ensure your grandkid’s success. These are all fun ways to help encourage learning, and to help kids understand that learning doesn’t have to be some boring, rudimentary task. I truly hope that this inspires some families out there. As always, thanks for reading, and happy end of summer from hbk!

Close to Midway State Park on Route 430, Tom’s Tavern has been a favorite watering hole in Maple Springs for a very long time. The main structure was built in the late 1800’s, when they used tree trunks instead of milled lumber for beams. Over the years, the place has been a bar and restaurant under many owners, and was a gas station and convenience store in the 1940s and 50s. It’s offered “food, spirits, and tomfoolery” for the last 16 years with Tom Stanton at the helm. Known for good burgers, wings and pizza, Tom’s is a destination for locals, summer tourists and snowmobilers. “We get 300 to 400 sleds in here a weekend when the snowmobile trails are open,” Tom said. “And if there’s good snow, we’ll do about 40% of our annual business between Christmas and New Year’s. The economy in this county is really dependent on the weather, summer and winter.” Local bands play every Saturday night, and dancing is encouraged. Bumper, one of the regular
bartenders, pours beer and drinks and occasionally shakes his tambourine in time with the music. Nancy and Brian help Tom with food and drinks, too, and provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere for regulars and newcomers alike. Tom has a long history in the food service industry, and wanted to have his own restaurant for a long time before he bought the Tavern. One of six children – four boys and two “mistakes,” he jokes – Tom grew up in Sinclairville and still has a lot of family in the area. “There were 46 of us at the holiday dinner this year,” he said. “Next year we’re expecting at least 64.” In addition to taking care of patrons during business hours, Tom does a lot to support the community, too. He furnishes the beer for the annual Labor Day picnic at the Maple Springs Fire Company, and has done a number of fundraisers over the years for customers and friends who have had accidents or illnesses, or otherwise found themselves in great need. The first Saturday after Labor Day is Tom’s anniversary party – a pig
roast that feels like a block party he throws to show gratitude to loyal customers and the whole community. Halloween brings another party, with music and a costume contest. Otherwise responsible and respectable adults dress up in outlandish costumes and, at the designated time, line up outside. They march through the tavern twice – in the front door, out the back, and around again – to give appointed judges and patrons a good view. Prizes are awarded for the most original costume, the scariest costume and the funniest costume.
Families home for the holidays gather at Tom’s Tavern, and those who find themselves alone also have a welcoming place to go. Tom provides full fixings for a free Christmas Eve buffet, complete with a drink or two, until 5 p.m. The place closes so the employees can enjoy their C Christmas, but opens back up A on Christmas evening, providing another opportunity for folks to F visit with friends and family, or to S escape those loved ones who were B welcomed so warmly earlier in N the week. A band is featured for Tom’s New Year’s Eve party, too. S “Walk or designate a driver if you C plan to drink,” Tom says. a m You can find Tom’s Tavern b on Facebook, but he admits r honestly, the page isn’t very well maintained. Tom is more S of a social person than a “social a media” person. The schedule r for upcoming bands is posted C on a board inside the tavern, so t you might want to just stop by and have a look. Pretty soon, Th everyone will know your name. C m T

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen Fred Rogers Documentary
Contributed Article The 1891 Fredonia Opera House
FREDONIA – The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the acclaimed, uplifting documentary on Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers), “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” It will be screened on Sat., Aug. 18, and Tues., Aug. 21, at 7:30 p.m. For more than 30 years, Fred Rogers, an unassuming minister, puppeteer, writer and producer was beamed daily into homes across America. In his beloved television program, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Rogers and his cast of puppets and friends spoke directly to young children about some of life’s weightiest issues, in a simple, direct fashion. There hadn’t been anything like Mr. Rogers on television before and there hasn’t been since. Though he may be best known today as a softspoken, cardigan-wearing children’s television host, in reality, Rogers’ career represents a sustained attempt to present a coherent, beneficent view about how we should best speak to children about important matters and how television could be
used as a positive force in our society. “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” looks back on Rogers’ legacy, focusing on his radically kind ideas. While the nation changed around him, Rogers stood firm in his beliefs about the importance of protecting childhood. Rafer Guzman, in Newsday, calls the film “a poignant tribute to the mild-mannered fatherfigure who served as moral compass to generations.” Walter Addiego, in the San Francisco Chronicle, calls it “enlightening and deeply touching.” Joe Morgenstern, in the Wall Street Journal, calls it “a beautiful film (that) celebrates a deeply good man with a great gift for repairing.” Calvin Wilson, in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, says “at a time when tolerance and compassion often seem to be under siege, ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor?’ reminds us that the softest voices often have the strongest impact.” Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and language, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” runs one hour, 34 minutes.
The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www. fredopera.org. Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor, the first 20 SUNY Fredonia students at each screening are admitted free. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearingimpaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a membersupported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Chautauqua rails to trails invites you to “antarctica: a day in the life with david akin”
Contributed Article Chautauqua Rails to Trails
Chautauqua Rails to Trails would like to invite trail and nature lovers to a presentation, “Antarctica: A Day in the Life With David Akin.” David is a member of the Board of Directors of Chautauqua Rails to Trails. This will take place on Thursday, August 30 at 7 PM at Bellinger Hall (77 Hedding Avenue) on the grounds of Chautauqua Institution. Dave, a Chautauqua native, has spent ten seasons working in Antarctica, and among his many responsibilities, he has worked very hard to improve many segments of a well-established hiking trail
system, the Ross Island Trail System, at McMurdo Station and Scott Base. He will share his knowledge and experience about his life and work there. There will be opportunities to ask questions. Due to the fact that the Chautauqua “season” will have concluded, guests are advised to drive into the Main Gate and head west (left) to the destination. No gate passes or car passes are required. (Please be advised that GPS may advise drivers to enter through the Elm Gate, which will be closed at that time of day.) Parking is available close to the venue.
Chautauqua Rails to Trails, a non-profit organization, will welcome a $5 donation from each attendee. Board members invite all interested individuals, on and off the grounds, to this sharing of an extraordinary and relevant experience.
