PANAMA, N.Y. – The Chautauqua County Historical Society’s (CCHS) annual picnic returns this year to focus on a sweet subject: the history of local honey production and beekeeping. On Wednesday Aug. 15 local beekeepers Dennis and Laura LaMonica will present “Pioneering Efforts of Honey Production in Chautauqua County” at
The LaMonica’s own and operate Panama Bee Farm & Honey Company and bring decades of beekeeping experience to the table. They will lead a presentation focusing on the early history of beekeeping and honey production in Chautauqua County. CCHS is partnering with Panama Rocks to help promote the presentation, which will also serve as the society’s annual picnic. Food will be served at 6 p.m., with the presentation tentatively slated to begin at 7 p.m. “We’re looking forward to learning more about the local honey production and beekeeping from the LaMonicas, who’ve done an excellent job researching the subject,” noted historical society programming chair Jason Sample. “We also appreciate the time and effort put forward by our friends at Panama Rocks in helping to organize and host this event.” The event will take place rain or shine and there is no cost to attend. Everyone who attends is encouraged to provide a dish to pass. Beverages (water, iced tea and coffee) will also be provided free of charge. If possible, please RSVP with CCHS before Aug. 10 by calling (716) 326-2977 or emailing cchs@mcclurgmuseum.org. For more information on the Chautauqua County Historical Society visit www.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS Chrysanthemums contain a chemical called pyrenthrum, which helps naturally repel most bugs. The chrysanthemum means compassion, cheerfulness, rest, loveliness, optimism, abundance, wealth, friendship and secret love. The chrysanthemum flower symbolizes long life, joy, optimism and fidelity.
Keeping The Faith inexperience, or being overwhelmed during a “rough patch”, people can freeze up and not know what to say to God or they may experience a lack of connection or emotion. This can lead to frustration and an avoidance of prayer time, altogether. So, what to do? Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, I seem to stall when I try to pray. How can I kick start my prayer relationship with God? I understand what you’re experiencing. Many writers share that they have experienced a time where they looked at their keyboards and had a “writer’s block”. No matter what they did, they couldn’t think of what to write. Christians, even those who are mature and developed, sometimes experience a kind of “prayer block” where they just can’t seem to know where to start. Maybe its
We know that everything we receive from God must be by faith. Hebrews 11:6 declares this, “And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing to God; for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Did you know that this applies to your prayers as well, even during those times where you feel dry, unconnected, and “stuck”? Because the Word tells us that “God always hears us”, we must believe that even when we aren’t “feeling it”, He does! Most of us have experienced these times but because we know His promises, persistence gets us through! Just keep at it
and don’t quit praying. You will eventually push through and experience that comfortable flow of communication with your Father God. If all else fails, try another way to pray! Like the Old Testament psalmists, who set their prayers and praises to music, they knew that there were other ways to honor God. The Apostle Paul, in reference to his spending time with his Father, declared in 1 Corinthians 14:15, “What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also”. Here Paul was telling Believers that he “mixed it up” by praying in words and songs, as well as praying by speaking in tongues and singing in tongues, too. While this may seem less “traditional”, it’s all communication with our Father. And isn’t prayer just a way to talk to Him?

Andrew’s Zucchini Muffins By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Zucchini time! One of the best times of the year. Zucchini baked goods and summer are just about as great as pumpkin baked goods and fall. A match made in heaven. Oh, and also the only way I can get my kids to eat zucchini right now. Anyone else in the same boat? As long as they are getting some other veggies and fruits in, I am not that concerned. It just baffles me. They like broccoli, green beans, salad, snap peas, carrots, avocado, the list could go on and on. When I serve zucchini, though? Not happening. I have heard the, ‘zucchini, again?’ question far more than necessary. This could easily be a point of frustration as a parent, since it’s one of mine and my husband’s favorite side dishes, and in the summer I like to cook zucchini quite often. A couple of weeks ago, our middle son and I had the afternoon to ourselves. Older brother was out and about with grandma and little sister was napping. The last time we had the afternoon together was back during the school year, when he would come home from preschool just in time for lunch and then his sister would nap. We were very much in need of this time together. So often when kids start getting a little antsy or difficult to interact with, it’s simply because they need some quality, one on one attention.
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.
It doesn’t always need to be super long, or extravagant by any means, but we had been approaching this point for awhile. We were very used to our little afternoon routine before his older brother was home from school for summer vacation, and some quality time was needed. When I asked him if he’d like to make some muffins with me, he was ecstatic. He loves any opportunity to make the kitchen a mess, much like any young boy. Then I mentioned the ‘zucchini’ part of the muffins. ‘Mama, I’m not sure about this…’ was his response, and he tried for the next several minutes to talk me into a more reasonable dessert. What about brownies? Cookies? Surely my common sense had flown out the window, at least according to my five year-old. We settled on a deal. I told him that if he tried these and didn’t like them, then I would make him something else. It’s an easy bet when you already know that you’re making something good. Eggs were cracked, and dropped on the floor, flour got all over us, and we had a wonderful time. I should also mention that the egg was dropped on the floor by me. It’s a funny thing when adults forget that we are also capable of the very same messes and mistakes that we may fear from our kids. Once I did it myself, I definitely wasn’t as concerned about him possibly making a mess. Problem solved! He set the timer, and then consistently checked the time until the stove started beeping and he shrieked with joy. The wait for the muffins to cool was hard, but worth it. Ice Cream sundaes were invented when it became illegal to sell ice-cream sodas on a Sunday in the American town of Evanston during the late 19th century. To get around the problem some traders replaced the soda with syrup and called the dessert an "Ice Cream Sunday.”
Then he accused me of not putting the zucchini in them at all, which was hilarious, since he had been the one to scrape the zucchini into the stand mixer bowl. After being reminded of this, he agreed that zucchini could actually be good, after all. Success. Combined with a wonderful memory. We hope that you can use this recipe to make your own memories with. Enjoy! As always, thanks for reading, and happy baking from hbk! INGREDIENTS 2 1 1/3 C 2 tsp 3 C zucchinis) 3/4 C 2 3/4 C 1 tsp 1 tsp 1/4 tsp 2 tsp 1 tsp
large eggs sugar vanilla extract grated fresh zucchini (2 medium butter, melted all-purpose flour baking soda baking powder salt cinnamon all-spice seasoning
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare muffin pan with liners or cooking spray. 2. Peel and finely grate zucchini. Try to remove all full seeds from the bowl. 3. Beat the eggs in a large bowl, and melt butter in a microwavable bowl or measuring cup. 4. Combine wet ingredients, then add in grated zucchini and stir together well. 5. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. 6. Combine dry ingredients with the butter and sugar mixture. Stir well! Batter will still be lumpy and that is just fine. 7. Fill muffin pan. Use a spoon to distribute the muffin batter equally among the cups, about half way to ¾ full. This equates to about two tablespoons per cup. 8. Bake until muffins are golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. Test with a toothpick to make sure the centers of the muffins are fully baked through. 9. Allow to cool before serving, makes about 30-36 muffins.
The original Price is Right gave a contestant a real elephant as a gag prize, and planned later to give the winner $4,000 instead. The winner complained and demanded an elephant as promised. The show finally conceded and delivered it to the contestant’s home in Texas.
Juggling Performance at Library Dave and Kyle Fultz are a father-and–son team of professional jugglers that have been performing all over New York state and Western Pennsylvania for the past several years as the group “Gravitational Bull”. They will be entertaining the community of Ellington on Tuesday, August 7 from 1-2pm at the Ellington Farman Library. Dave’s unique style is a blend of contemporary object manipulation with a touch of Vaudeville. He’s performed on stage multiple times with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2012 Dave performed in the circus scene of the American Academy of Ballet’s adaptation of “The Nutcracker”. Kyle starting juggling at age 14 and now is an accomplished juggler who tends to favor today’s modern jugglers rather than the more traditional styles. This free performance is part of the Library’s Summer Reading Program and is funded in part by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation with a grant through the Falconer Region Community Fund. Gravitational Bull is appropriate for all aged audiences. In addition to juggling, Gravitational Bull performances usually contain comedy, magic, balloon twisting, story telling, ball & plate spinning and balancing. So whether you’re amused or amazed, stand back, because they’re throwing stuff around! The Ellington Farman library is located on 760 Thornton Road, Ellington and you may call 287-2945 for information on this and any other library program.

Simple solutions for a better night’s sleep
The importance of a good night’s sleep is welldocumented. Numerous studies have found that the effects of a good night’s sleep go beyond boosting energy levels and improving alertness. A better sex life, less chronic pain and an improved mood are just a handful of the documented benefits that a good night’s sleep can provide. As important and beneficial as sleep is, many adults in the United States simply aren’t getting enough rest. A 2016 study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that more than one-third of American adults are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. Those findings are based on guidelines from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society that recommend adults between the ages of 18 and 60 sleep at least seven hours each night. Getting a more restful night’s sleep requires concerted efforts on the part of adults who are falling short of seven hours each night. But the following are some simple ways for adults to start getting more rest. • Stick to a routine seven days a week. People tend to alter their sleep routines based on the
day of the week, with many going to bed later at night and sleeping in later in the morning on weekends. But the National Sleep Foundation notes that going to bed at the same time each day, including weekends, helps people feel more sleepy at bedtime and fall asleep quickly. • Avoid alcohol in the hours before going to bed. Alcohol can make people feel sleepy, but that effect is short-lived. The sleepiness many people feel after consuming alcohol wears off quickly, and that can lead to interruptions in sleep. • Avoid stimulants in the late afternoon and at night. Alcohol is a depressant that can affect the quality of sleep a person gets. But stimulants can also make it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Nicotine acts as a stimulant in small doses, so smokers should stop smoking that last cigarette before bedtime if they’re not getting decent or adequate sleep. Caffeinated beverages also should be avoided in the late afternoon and at night because caffeine stimulates the nervous system and can make it difficult to fall asleep, even if it’s been several hours since that last cup of coffee. • Take short daytime naps. Some people find that daytime naps improve the quality of their nighttime sleep. That might be due to the link between naps and stress. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that short naps can reduce stress. Reduced stress levels can make it easier to fall asleep at night. Limit naps to between 20 and 30 minutes, as naps that stretch on too long may interfere with nighttime sleep. Sufficient sleep can have a dramatic, positive impact on a person’s quality of life. Developing a good sleep routine and employing additional strategies can help sleep-deprived men and women get more restful nights’ sleep.

Oven-free summer dinner ideas
Mid- to late-summer is appropriately known as “the dog days of summer” because it can be so doggone hot. The humid, sticky conditions of late summer can make people feel sluggish and looking for ways to cool down. The idea of warming up the house by turning on the oven to cook a meal may be especially unappealing. Recipes that require little to no cooking — and no stove — can be a home cook’s best friend as summer progresses. Here are a few ideas to get started. Grilled paninis Gather some favorite sandwich fixings, such as sliced meats, vegetables and cheeses, and head to the grill. Put ingredients between two slices of crusty bread and place on the grill over low or indirect heat. Weigh down the sandwiches with cast-iron pans to flatten out the sandwiches. Savory salads Cool salads can be refreshing and light on hot summer evenings. Salads can range from tradition lettuce- or greens-based salads to pasta salads and chicken or tuna salads. Mix ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Serve chilled with toppings like shredded cheese, bacon bits and croutons to dress up the salads. Cold buffet Summer is a time to avoid hearty, belly-filling meals. Instead, produce a spread of finger foods, ranging from crackers and cheese to vegetables and dips. Fresh fruit also can accompany buffet-style meals, as can slices of Italian bread and homemade tomato bruschetta. When the weather is hot, think cool, no-fuss meals that keep the stove off but bellies full.
You are most likely to get sunburn between 10am and 4pm, when the sun’s rays are the strongest.

“The Pride of Jamestown” An Interview with Irv Noren
Irving Arnold Noren, a 1985 CSHOF inductee, was born November 29, 1924 in Jamestown, New York. He was a former professional baseball and basketball player. Noren was an outfielder in the Major Leagues from 1950 through 1960 for the Washington Senators, New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers. He also played for the National Basketball League’s Chicago American Gears in 1946–47.

Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame. At the behest of CSHOF President Randy Anderson, Olsen visited Mr. Noren at his Oceanside, California home and conducted a lengthy video interview with him. Among the many topics covered were Noren’s recollections of his early years growing up in the Allen Park neighborhood of Jamestown, his father’s decision to relocate the family to Pasadena, Noren’s friendship with Jackie Robinson, his minor and major league baseball career, his close associations with New York Yankee legends Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford and Casey Stengel, Noren’s time as a third base coach for the World Champion Oakland A’s owned by Charlie Finley and his post-baseball life.

The Chautauqua Star
Chautauqua Business Weekly Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers Association of the Southern Tier
Get Ready! The National Comedy Center Opens this Week After years of planning, fundraising, and construction, the National Comedy Center is poised to open this week. The Center opening in conjunction with the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival will bring thousands of people to Chautauqua County. Get ready! This is a great opportunity for businesses to benefit economically from the influx of people coming to our communities. This is a time to showcase our area and all it has to offer. We are fortunate as a community to have an international attraction being realized here in our county. We are appreciative of the blood, sweat, and tears of the staff, board of directors, and community, state, and national stakeholders that have brought the project to fruition. That this state of the art experiential museum and repository for all things comedic is opening during the annual festival devoted to the memory of native daughter Lucille Ball is especially fitting. Lucy loved her hometown, and the current museum dedicated to the life work of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz was the first step towards memorializing the craft of comedy and a building block that has led to the formation of National Comedy Center. The National Comedy Center and tourism as a whole is great for Chautauqua County businesses! The National Comedy Center is expected to attract over 100,000 visitors annually, creating an economic impact on our region of $23-million. It is worth noting that tourism already represents a $260-million economic impact in Chautauqua County, according to figures released just last year by the County. More than half of all tourism-related spending is in lodging and dining, while retail and transportation make up another 40%. The amount spent on recreation including admission fees and cultural events represents just about 10% of all travelers spending, according to a report on the Economic Impact of Tourism in New York State in 2016. What does of this mean for our region as we prepare to welcome the brand new National Comedy Center? It means new dollars coming into our economy and increased sales opportunities for local businesses. As we see an influx in tourists in our communities we must be prepared to welcome them with open arms so they will enjoy their stay, consider a return visit, and tell their friends and family about the extraordinary experience they had in Chautauqua County. If you are a business owner or manager there are some simple steps you can follow to quickly get your business and your staff up to speed: Hours of Operation: Check the complete festival calendar of events online at tickets.comedycenter. org to see when things are happening. Adjust your hours of operation accordingly to be sure you’re open when travelers may be passing through or looking for a place to eat or shop. Make sure you are adequately staffed and supplies are stocked to serve large numbers of people, this is especially pertinent in the immediate downtown Jamestown area for the coming weekend as we welcome not only visitors for the Comedy Festival and National Comedy Center opening, but also the families of teams that will be participating in the 16-18 Year Old Babe Ruth World Series. Customer Service: Spend a few minutes on staff training to make sure everyone who represents your business is ready to serve courteously and be as helpful as possible. The Jamestown Renaissance Corporation (JRC) has put together a very simple, yet comprehensive, Jamestown Ambassador Training program available online at jamestownrenaissance.org/downtown/ambassador. It takes just minutes to learn some easy ways to welcome guests to your business and our community. Also check out the online customer service training videos at www.tourchautauqua. com/customer-service. Parking: Kindly let people know that downtown Jamestown has enforced metered parking, but that ramp space is available and convenient. If you have a private parking lot in Jamestown, consider setting up your own parking enterprise for the festival weekend when your employees and customers won’t be using that space. Visitors can also park across the Chadakoin River and use the new footbridges to access Comedy Center Park and downtown events. Public Restrooms: Restroom access can be problematic during festivals. JRC is setting up portable facilities in a spruced up alleyway on Third Street between Washington and Cherry Streets. If your private business does not allow public use of restrooms, we recommend posting a notice that says restrooms for customer use. That way you can do someone a favor as well as sell a cup of coffee or
other item at the same time. Directions: JRC has posted new way-finding signs downtown pointing people to parking facilities as well as all of the major attractions. Maps will be posted in downtown sidewalk kiosks. If someone asks you for directions and you can’t help them, point them to a nearby map. Printed tear-off maps will also be available from JRC. Lodging: The Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau (CCVB) has conducted a survey of available rooms in the area. Many hotels and motels in the immediate Jamestown area are sold out for the festival weekend, but other nearby sites may still have space. Contact CCVB for assistance at 866908-4569. The entire festival calendar is online at comedycenter.org. A few shows are sold out, but tickets remain for most events including the Amy Schumer and Friends shows at Northwest Arena. The block parties at 5pm Friday in front of the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts and 5pm Saturday in front of Northwest Arena are free to attend. Thank you in advance for making your business a true Ambassador as the community kicks off a new era in year-round tourism and visitation to Chautauqua County, and congratulations to the board and staff of the National Comedy Center as they watch years of hard work be transformed into an amazing new attraction, the only one of its kind in the United States. The story of comedy lives here. Babe Ruth World Series August 4-11 Once again this year local organizers are proud to welcome the finest baseball players in the 16-18 year old age group to Jamestown for the Babe Ruth World Series. The festivities kick off with the Babe Ruth World Series parade at 10am Saturday, August 4, along Third Street in downtown Jamestown and back to back games begin at noon that same day. This high quality baseball will be played at Russell E. Diethrick Jr. Park and all games are free to attend thanks to corporate sponsorship.

The local team playing features the best high school players from all over Chautauqua County. Please help welcome these teams and their families to our region and fill the stands to see some spectacular baseball. And when they’re off the field, we hope you’ll welcome these players, coaches, families, and their hosts. Chamber Golf Tournament is August 16 The Annual Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament is August 16. You can play where the pros play on the spectacular upper course at Peek’n Peak! The 2018 Chamber Golf Tournament is sponsored by DFT Communications, Bush Industries, Community Bank, County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency, Insurance Management Company, Jamestown Mattress Company, Koester Associates, Lake Shore Savings Bank, Lawley Insurance, Lynn Development, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, National Grid, Nestle Purina PetCare, OBSERVER, The Post-Journal, and Shults Auto Group.

This popular event will be held from 5-10pm along Third Street in downtown Jamestown between Spring and Washington Streets.

A variety of vendors will be on hand with food and beverages, and there will be a hula hoop contest, bubble gum contest, and more! Drivers are encouraged to pre-register their vehicles for easy and quick entry the day of the event.

Vendor spaces are available and will be taken first come, first served with all vendors encouraged to provide exclusive offerings in order to encourage diversity of products.

Western New York Public Health Alliance and the New York State Public Health Association Symposium: Concussion Management Forum
Contributed Article Western New York Public Health Alliance
On Thursday July 12th, the Western New York Public Health Alliance and the New York State Public Health Association collaborated to host the first Symposium in a series of Symposiums on brain health with the topic of Concussion Management. This free Symposium was held at Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville NY and was open to the public. We had 100 attendees representing all eight counties of WNY, including many school coaches, trainers and nurses, along with county employees and other interested participants. The Symposium included four different speakers, with the first one being Mark Kelso, formerly a Safety with the Buffalo Bills who transitioned to a career coaching and training. His years of experience as a player and as a coach were shared with the audience with a special focus on concussions. Mr. Kelso was able to engage the audience with his stories about being one of the first NFL players to address concussion issues with helmet design changes and he brought examples of the helmets to demonstrate the changes made to protect the player from concussions.

After lunch the Symposium transitioned to more of a medical perspective on concussions. The next speaker was Dr. Ryan Krzyzanowicz who is a Clinical Associate Professor and Program Director for the Master of Science in Athletic Training at the University of Buffalo. Dr. Kyzyzanowicz discussed the role of the Athletic Trainer in concussion management and gave an overview of signs and symptoms that Trainers look for when working with athletes. The final speaker of the day was Dr. John Leddy, Professor of Clinical Orthopedics and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Leddy went into detail on the physiology of concussions and provided the audience with an understanding of recovery protocols. These protocols included the latest research on how soon people who have suffered a concussion can return to both regular activities and games. The second symposium on brain health will focus on Dementia related topics and will be held this fall. The Western New York Public Health Alliance (WNYPHA) is a not-for-profit organization comprised of the Health Commissioners/Public Health Directors and other community public health leaders from the eight counties of Western New York. Their mission is to support collaboration across WNY to further public health initiatives and priorities. As part of this mission, the WNYPHA works to provide health education and information to prevent disease and improve population health.

Despite her efforts at recovery, McKenzie Paulson passed away from her struggle with drugs at the age of 23. Her mother, Lauri Keller of Falconer, is organizing this event, now in its third year. Keller noted that her daughter was a typical AllAmerican girl who, with her good grades, graduated a year early from Falconer High School. McKenzie enjoyed working with the elderly and those with disabilities and went to Jamestown Community College with plans to go into nursing. This year the focus of the walk is to applaud the efforts of the volunteers with A Fresh Start and all the agencies and organizations that are assisting those with substance use disorders. Proceeds benefit two A Fresh Start programs in Jamestown: the Marvin and Dolly Sutton Fresh Start House, a safe and secure home for women in recovery from substance use disorders and their children, and Child Warriors, helping children who have been touched by substance use disorders.

Lucky Day for WMH Foundation 26th Annual Golf Tournament
Contributed Article Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation
Westfield, NY – Friday, the 13th turned out to be a lucky day for Westfield’s community hospital when the Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation (WMHF) was incorporated under its original name of Chautauqua Health Care Foundation, exactly 40 years ago on the same date. The foundation was renamed to Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation on June 5, 1996. This year, the foundation hosted its 26th Annual Golf Tournament at the Chautauqua Golf Club on Friday, July 13....also a lucky day! The WMHF Golf Tournament draws medical and corporate professionals, business owners and employees, hospital associates and community members interested in keeping quality healthcare in our region while enjoying a great day of golf. The event featured a continental breakfast, lunch, an afternoon out on the links, and a clam bar, which was then followed by a cocktail reception and a prime rib dinner. The proceeds from the tournament will benefit the foundation’s Annual Campaign in support of the hospital. The WMHF Annual Golf Tournament event has proudly donated more than $800,000 to Westfield Memorial
SHARON LOUDEN NAMED ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF VISUAL ARTS AT CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION Contributed Article Chautauqua Institution
CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. — Chautauqua Institution today announced the appointment of Sharon Louden as the artistic director and Sydelle Sonkin and Herb Siegel Chair of its resident visual arts program, VACI (Visual Arts at Chautauqua Institution). In this capacity, Louden will oversee a dynamic department composed of the Chautauqua School of Art, Strohl and Fowler-Kellogg Art Centers, an artist lecture series and growing education and community engagement programs. Louden succeeds Don Kimes, who announced in November his intention to step down following the 2018 Chautauqua season. “It is an honor to receive the opportunity to build upon the legacy Don Kimes has left after his remarkable 33-year tenure,” Louden said. “I’m excited to develop an incubator of inclusive, expansive programming in the visual arts, including professional development for artists, the art of pedagogy, writing in the 21st century, and emphasizing the relevance of art history today. I’m looking forward to collaborating with everyone at Chautauqua as we increase the value of the visual arts through VACI’s programming.” Louden will assume the artistic director role at VACI effective Sept. 1, and immediately begin preparations for her inaugural season in 2019. Her appointment is the culmination of a search and selection process led by Deborah Sunya Moore, vice president of performing and visual arts, with the assistance of a search committee of nationally known advisers, Institution trustees, members of the volunteer community support group VACI Partners, and other credentialed members of the Chautauqua community.

Hospital through the quarter of a century it has been held. WMHF is very grateful to its numerous individual and corporate sponsors for the event and acknowledges all of its treasured donors. WMH Foundation President Kathryn Bronstein, PhD, RN, said: “We are beyond thrilled by the sheer number of businesses, civic organizations and members of our community who in addition to sponsorships also donated exceptional Gifts-in-Kind to the hospital and foundation’s largest fundraiser.” “As we all know, there is no “I” in teamwork; it took many hands including those of various board members, hospital associates and volunteers who helped to ensure the success of our annual golf tournament. We remain indebted and incredibly grateful to all those who support our community hospital and its foundation – especially during our 40th anniversary year,” remarked WMH Foundation Executive Director/2018 Golf Committee Chair Patricia Gaughan DiPalma.

“I hoped that our next artistic director would be able to build on Don Kimes’ legacy, offer her own bold vision for the future of VACI, and be able to bring increasing recognition and diversity to our program,” Moore said. “I believe Sharon can do all this and more. She offers an unmatched combination of being recognized nationally, committed locally and engaged socially through her generous spirit and much-lauded accomplishments.” Louden has contributed to Chautauqua’s visual arts programs in several different seasons as a guest faculty member and lecturer on the Visual Arts Lecture Series. “Having known Sharon Louden for more than 25 years, I know that her energy, enthusiasm and support for art and artists is continuous, passionate and contagious,” Kimes said. “I am so pleased to know that an artist with this kind of conviction and a deep belief in the power of art will be succeeding my three-plus decades building the visual art programs here at Chautauqua. Sharon’s background places her in a position to sustain and continue to develop Chautauqua’s national and international reputation. I look forward to working closely in this transition to new leadership.”
Louden is an artist, educator, advocate for artists, and editor of the Living and Sustaining a Creative Life series of books. Her work has been exhibited in numerous venues including the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the Drawing Center, Carnegie Mellon University, Weisman Art Museum, National Gallery of Art, Birmingham Museum of Art, Weatherspoon Art Museum and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. Upcoming exhibitions include solo shows at the University of Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie, Wyoming, in 2018–19, and the Philbrook Museum of Art, Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2019. An educator since 1991, Louden’s teaching experience includes studio and professional practice classes for students of all levels in many institutions throughout the United States. Colleges and universities at which she has lectured and taught include the Kansas City Art Institute, College of Saint Rose, Minneapolis College of Art and Design and Vanderbilt University. She currently serves on the faculty in the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts in New York and as a senior critic at the New York Academy of Art, where she organizes a popular lecture series. Louden graduated with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Yale University School of Art. View her full biography at sharonlouden.com and livesustain. org.
