Audubon Presenting Caterpillar Wrangling Workshop Thursday, September 6 hands-on workshop.

Caterpillars can be very fussy eaters and may only eat one kind of food.

You can learn how to identify and find the proper food for different caterpillars, what containers to use, and how to overwinter cocoons for insects that don’t emerge until the following year.

Instructor Jeff Tome has been raising Monarch caterpillars for years. He has recently branched out to raise a variety of other caterpillars and moths as well.

Learn how you can help restore the populations of butterflies and moths at Audubon Community Nature Center’s Caterpillar Wrangling workshop, Thursday, September 6, 5-6:30 p.m. The Spicebush Swallowtail pictured here is one of the caterpillars you will learn about.

WHO CREATED THE FIRST PIZZA THAT RESEMBLES PIZZA TODAY?

The world can thank Raffaele Esposito for creating the first pizza that resembled the pizza the world knows today. Esposito created the pizza for Italy’s Queen Margherita when she visited Naples in 1889. The crust was garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil to represent the national colors of Italy: red, white and green.

The Value of Membership: Supporting Small Business As a member of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce you are part of one of the largest businesses associations in Western New York. The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is unique in that it has collaborative county wide presence in partnership with six community chambers in Dunkirk, Fredonia, Hanover, Jamestown, Mayville-Chautauqua, and Westfield-Barcelona. The Chamber coordinates over 100 community based events each year to help drive foot and internet traffic to our small business members and build business-to-business connections. Working with our six Community Chambers of Commerce, these events focus on programming that attracts residents and visitors to our local businesses.

The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce works year-round to promote local businesses and reinforce the importance of supporting local business. Studies have consistently shown that shopping locally is good for our economy. When goods and services are purchased locally those dollars are dispersed through local wages and benefits, charitable donations, taxes that fund local services, and purchases of goods and services through other local businesses. And it’s not just shopping that makes a difference. When you work with local providers for professional services, real estate, healthcare, and finance, you are also contributing to gains in our local economy.

Last fall the Chamber launched the Shoptauqua Gift Card program, designed to encourage people to shop locally. More than 120 local merchants are now participating, so you can use a Shoptauqua Gift Card for everything from hardware to groceries to local wine and attractions. Call our offices for more information at (716) 484-1101 or (716) 366-6200.

Jamestown PROMISE Fund To Hold Musical Instrument Drive

Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools

[Jamestown, NY] – The Jamestown PROMISE Fund, in collaboration with the JPS Music Department and the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, will hold its first Musical Instrument Drive on Saturday, September 8th at Jamestown High School from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Jamestown PROMISE Fund Advisory Board is asking the community to search their attics, closets and basements for musical instruments, new or used, to donate to help more Jamestown students continue the wonderful tradition of music in the district.

“We know that over a number of years the school budget has not allowed for the regular maintenance and repair of instruments, or the routine addition of all the needed new ones. The total financial need is quite significant if the gap is to be filled,” said Dr. Lillian Ney, Vice Chair of the PROMISE Fund Board, and Coordinator of the Drive. John Zabrodsky, Board Chair adds “Music is part of the fabric of our community. In support of this great tradition of players and singers, we are asking friends, alumni and the community to help us gather musical instruments that may be taking up room in a closet or attic, so that our next generation can have the opportunity to participate in JPS’s great educational and musical programming.”

Volunteers will be available on September 8th to accept the community’s donations of musical instruments and monetary donations.

Checks can be made out to the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation with the memo line JPS PROMISE Fund.

“The JPS music programs provide an invaluable opportunity for our students,” said Meghan Murray, JHS Band Director. “It is our hope that this Community Instrument Drive might help provide instruments for students who may not otherwise be able to rent or buy, and thus are unable to join band or orchestra due to financial reasons.”

Jamestown students also appreciate the role music plays in their lives.

“We have been in the music programs since elementary and middle school,” said JHS seniors Ellen Cross and Natalie Carlson, who are involved in the JHS Marching Band, Concert Band, Concert Orchestra and A Cappella Choir. “Music is so important to us and to a lot of other students. Music creates relationships between kids and between kids and their directors and other adults.

Music helps develop different ways of understanding, which elevates their thinking skills and academics overall.”

“Our students have a greater need than ever for the support of our schools and our community,” said Katie Derrenbacher, JHS Orchestra Director. “As music teachers, we focus on developing the right brain to balance the rigorous left brain work that occurs during the school day.

Our students need the opportunity for creativity and development of their whole brain in order to help shape the whole child. Since the burden of purchasing or even renting can exclude the child from participating, we need our schools and community to step in and make this opportunity a real possibility for them.”

4th Annual Community Hockey Game On Friday September 7th @ 7pm, Community Through Hockey will hold it’s 4th Annual Community Hockey Game at the Northwest Arena. This year’s game will benefit 9-year old Kody Howard from Panama, NY who was diagnosed with a rare stomach cancer in February. Admission is free and will feature a basket raffle, large item raffle and 50/50. Since 2015, we have raised over $12,500 for area families and organizations. We hope the community comes out and helps make it the best one yet. Check out “Community Through Hockey” and “Howard Strong” on facebook for more information.

The Chautauqua Star Unless you’re on call for work, the majority of phone calls can wait.

Limit yourself to pictures right as the activity is starting, and then again as it’s ending, so you can be fully present while that middle part is taking place.

The First and the Last Days

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

The first day of school is just around the bend, and we’re in the last free days of summer.

Sure, the calendar says that summer still has a bit more time, but school schedules don’t allow for that freedom of summer like summer vacation does.

A few weeks ago, we focused on getting all the fun stuff done during the summer and making a bucket list of sorts.

Filled with things that you could do own your own, or with friends, with your kids, your grandkids, family, the list goes on and on.

Although the list is nearly endless, this week’s focus is on those young ones who are going back to school far too soon.

Perhaps yours are already back in school, as some schools around our area seem to vary just a bit on this. Ours have this last week, and we are going to enjoy it as much as we can.

Parent schedules can vary a bit, as some stay home with their kids, some work full time, some work part time and some work from home like myself.

Then there’s the teacher schedule which gives you the summer with your kids, and the rest of your year is shared between your biological kids and the ones entrusted to you for learning.

Whatever your schedule may be, there’s still time to pack in the warm weather kind of quality moments that we all need.

While we’ve already shared plenty of ideas, from chalk drawing to camping, swimming to taking hikes, this isn’t another list of things to do.

•The fingerprints of koala bears are virtually indistinguishable from those of humans, so much so that they could be confused at a crime scene.

•It is possible to lead a cow up stairs but not down stairs, because a cow’s knees can’t bend properly to walk back down.

•Cats can hear ultrasound.

•All the pet hamsters in the world are descended from just one female wild golden hamster found with a litter of 12 young in Syria in 1930. The species was named in 1839 when a single animal was found in Syria, but it hadn’t been seen by scientists for nearly a century.

•The placement of a donkey’s eyes in it’s head enables it to see all four feet at all times.

2018 Daniel Feather Memorial 5K Sunday, September 2 • 9:30am Bergman Park

487 Baker St., Jamestown Registration Starts at 8:00am To Register Online & for More Info visit www.chautauquastriders.org For further information, contact David Reinhardt with the Chautauqua Striders at 716-489-3489 or david@chautauqua-striders.org

This is an encouragement to get out there and do those things before you run out of time.

Not just time for the summer, but time with your kids while they’re little.

Everyone says, “it goes fast,” but that’s probably the biggest understatement that there ever was. Kids grow up in the blink of an eye.

Seeing our seven-yearold enter the second grade when it seems as though just yesterday I was cuddling him in the N.I.C.U. has opened my eyes to that.

Don’t take that time for granted.

I now wish I had more videos of conversations that I had with our oldest when he was little.

Just paying attention to the pronunciations of various words, and the different facial expressions that go with each one.

At least I am now known by my kids for taking what they consider to be too many pictures.

Thirty pictures of the three of them in front of our house on the first and last days of school?

Check.

An additional twenty photos on the school lawn? Check.

On that note, if you like to get creative with your first day pictures, get your family a couple of little chalkboards along with a chalk marker to write down details of the first day.

These have made some of my very favorite photos that we’ve taken, and an easy way to remember what year and classroom each photo is from.

They won’t be pottytraining forever, or saying, “Are we there yet?” for every car ride to come.

That time is severely limited, and often undervalued.

We also made a t-shirt with our firstborn’s graduating class year on the front. Hopefully that detail doesn’t get misplaced before he graduates!

Make the most of your time with your little ones. Whether they are biologically your children or not.

I know how much I enjoy looking at my childhood pictures, and those that my in-laws took of my husband growing up as well.

Draw pictures with them, read them bedtime stories and tell them the things that you want them to hear today, not when they get older.

These are memories that can be handed down for generations to come, but sometimes we forget just how big a little thing can be.

Take pictures and videos as much as you can.

With another summer almost under our belts, I hope that this can inspire you to get out there and check some things off of your bucket list, and to spend some quality time with your loved ones.

I know there’s a lot of pressure on parents to not use their phones, and I wholeheartedly agree.

If you are also trying to limit your technology time within your household, just put your phone on silent when you are doing an activity with your kids.

Make this summer count.

As always, thanks for reading, and happy back to school days from hbk!

OF CHAUTAUQUA

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?

JACKSON CENTER WELCOMES pulitzer prize winning author for fall program

Contributed Article Robert H. Jackson Center

JAMESTOWN, NY, August 14, 2018 – 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, is pleased to invite Dr. Heather Ann Thompson as a keynote speaker at its Fall Continuing Legal Education seminar on Thursday, September 13, 2018. This free event will be held at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, NY. Robert H. Jackson Center Executive Director Deke Kathman made the announcement.

Dr. Thompson is an historian, author, speaker and college professor at the University of Michigan. She earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Michigan and earned her PhD at Princeton University. Thompson was previously on the faculty of the University of North Carolina in Charlotte and Temple University in Philadelphia from 2009-2015. Thompson has written about the history and current crises of mass incarceration for numerous popular and scholarly publications, including The New York Times, Newsweek, The Washington Post, Jacobin, NBC, Time Magazine, The Atlantic, and Huffington Post.

In 2017, Thompson won the Pulitzer Prize in History for her work “Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy.” The book tells the gripping, apolitical, and behind-thescenes story of a pivotal moment in history and the lessons that were learned from that event. As part of the CLE, Thompson will discuss the historic uprising and the untold story of exactly what happened at Attica.

THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST

Opens in Chautauqua Friday, August 31st at the Balcony Cinema at Chautauqua Contributed Article

THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST, starring Chloë Grace Moretz, opens Friday, August 31st in Chautauqua at the Balcony Cinema at Chautauqua.

Wowing audiences and critics alike, the film won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and was named a NY Times Critics’ Pick.

From writer/director Desiree Akhavan and based on the celebrated novel by Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post follows Cameron (Chloë Grace Moretz) as she is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after getting caught with another girl in the back seat of a car on prom night. Run by the strict and severe Dr. Lydia Marsh (Jennifer Ehle) and her brother, Reverend Rick (John Gallagher Jr.)—himself an example of how those in the program can be “cured”—the center is built upon repenting for “same sex attraction.” In the face of intolerance and denial, Cameron meets a group of fellow sinners including the amputee stoner Jane (Sasha Lane), and her friend, the Lakota Two-Spirit, Adam (Forrest Goodluck). Together, this group of teenagers form an unlikely family as they fight to survive.

The CLE will begin at 8:00 a.m. with registration and a continental breakfast in the Jackson Center banquet room. The program will begin in the Cappa Theatre at 8:30 a.m. with introductions, followed by “Diversity, Inclusion and Elimination of Bias,” presented by Amanda Lowe, Esq. At 9:45 a.m., “Blood in the Water” will be discussed during an interview of Dr. Thompson by Phillips Lytle partner Gregory L. Peterson, Esq., co-founder of The Robert H. Jackson Center.

At 11:00 a.m., Thompson will join a panel to discuss “Attica: Legal Perspectives and Legacy” with Lee Coppola, former dean of the Jandoli School of Communication at St. Bonaventure University. In 1971, Coppola was at Attica prison as a reporter for The Buffalo Evening News on the date the prison was retaken. James P. Kennedy, United States Attorney for the Western District of New York will complete the panel moderated by Greg Peterson.

A luncheon will follow at 12:45pm in the Jackson Center banquet room. During lunch, Peterson will interview Don Luce, former professional Canadian ice hockey centre, executive and scout. Luce played 13 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres, Los Angeles Kings and Toronto Maple Leafs from 1969 to 1982.The entire event will end at approximately 2:00 p.m.

Guests are required to register by September 6, 2018 for the CLE online at www.roberthjackson.org/ events, or by calling the Jackson Center at (716)4836646.

Contributed Article The Lawson Center

The Lawson Center has scheduled a centennial event to publicly recognize the Lawson Family’s 100-year presence in the Chautauqua Lake Region. In 1918, David Lawson, Sr. purchased the property at 73 Lakeside Drive in Bemus Point. Already the site of a boat livery at that time, the business was named the Lawson Boat & Engine Company; and later renamed L.S. Aero Marine when Ralph Sheldon became a partner. Through the years, the Lawson Family, including David, Jr and sister Jean Lawson, operated the marine business until 2010 when the property was donated for the purpose of creating The Lawson Center, a museum with the mission of celebrating boating history on Chautauqua Lake and the contributions that the Lawson Family made.

The celebration reception will be held on Saturday, September 15th from 1-3 p.m. at The Lawson Center. The public is invited to share refreshments and memories and to meet with Dave, Jr., the volunteers, and the trustees in recognizing this 100th year anniversary event. The museum will be open that day for its normal hours of 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. The event is scheduled to coincide with the celebration of Bemus Point Fall Fest which runs from Friday through Sunday, September 14th-16th throughout the Village.
