CCHS, Jamestown Audubon Collaborate To Host Aug. 15 Presentation

OBITUARIES July 22, 2015 Margaret A. Rugg July 28, 2015 Kenneth Lyal Johnson

Contributed Article CCHS

The Chautauqua County Historical Society (CCHS) is partnering with the Jamestown Audubon Center later this month to give residents an opportunity to learn more about how the region appeared more than 200 years ago.

Those with even a basic knowledge of the county's history know that prior to settlement at the start of the 19th century, the area was dominated by an unbroken wilderness consisting of virgin forests and thick vegetation. But few people are aware of the volume or specific types of native flora that was allowed to grow and flourish, largely undisturbed and unmolested by man.

On Saturday morning, Aug. 15, CCHS and the Jamestown Audubon Center will co-host a free presentation that will take attendees to a point in our region's history that pre-dates the arrival of early settlers. The presentation will be given

by Dr. Stephen Tulowiecki, a Western New York native and Adjunct Lecturer of Geography at SUNY Geneseo.

For the past several years, Dr. Tulowiecki has researched the land survey records of the Holland Land Co., which provide specific details of the topographical makeup of the land, including the ever-expanding primordial forests that were said to have “cast their dark shadows everywhere" in the area that is now Chautauqua County. Local and regional historians have always been aware of the Holland Land Company's survey records, but it wasn't until Dr. Tullowiecki's research that the information was finally compiled into a more comprehensive presentation.

Mapping Pre-Settlement Chautauqua County Dr. Tulowiecki’s research interests involve mapping forest conditions that existed prior to European-American settlement in Eastern North America. Through his effort, he ‘reconstructs’ past forested landscapes by using various historical and ecological data, along with quantitative modeling and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). His research is currently investigating the role of Native American societies in shaping the forest patterns that were observed prior to European-American arrival.

As part of his research, Dr. Tuloweicki has spent the past several years studying the land survey records of the Holland Land Company and has

quick and easy biscuits

By Katy Wise Contributing Writer

We are still in the midst of fresh fruit season, and while it may not last too much longer, now is the perfect time for peach shortcake.

Not that this is the only reason to share this recipe, these biscuits make for a perfect appetizer or dinner companion.

If you throw some cheddar cheese into the mix along with a little bit of garlic powder, they will taste almost identical to the "famous" Red Lobster biscuits.

Those biscuits are delicious and I don't even eat seafood. I willingly accompany my husband to that restaurant just for the biscuits.

You can also use them as a breakfast food, or in a dinner such as chicken and biscuits, and make mixed vegetables with shredded chicken and gravy to serve over top.

For the super fast track dinner option, pick up a rotisserie chicken, microwave steamable veggies and some gravy.

There are plenty of variations for this recipe. If you discover some other brilliant meal idea utilizing these biscuits, please share it with us!

But before you can go be creative, you need the original directions, so here you go.

Ingredients: 2 Cups All purpose flour, leveled 1/2 Cup Cold butter, better measured as 1 stick 1 Tbsp. Baking powder 1 tsp.

Salt 1 Cup Milk Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare baking sheet, parchment paper will work wonderfully for these biscuits.

Cut up butter into small pieces. This is another recipe that could probably be quickly accomplished using a food processor.

Once again, we aren't that fancy around here. Mix together dry ingredients in a stand mixer, then drop in small pieces of butter and mix together.

Mix on medium for about 2 minutes, or until you can see small crumbles of butter evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Add milk and mix well. There should be nothing dry left in the bowl.

Scoop onto baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes. You can get 10-12 smaller biscuits out of this mix, or 6-8 huge biscuits which are perfect for shortcake.

If your home is heavily populated by toddlers, like ours is, I would recommend 4 large biscuits and 4 small.

For peach shortcake, simply peel and slice peaches, place in a bowl and sprinkle sugar on top. There will be a perfect amount of juice at the bottom of you take this step before making your biscuits.

You can also add fresh blueberries or raspberries to make this even better! As always, thanks for reading, and happy biscuit-ing!

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Infinitely Polar Bear”

Contributed Article 1891 Fredonia Opera House

The next feature fi lm in the Opera House Cinema Series is “Infinitely Polar Bear,” a funny and heartbreaking portrait of the many unexpected ways in which parents and children save each other. It is based on a true story, and will be screened on Sat., Aug. 15, and Tues., Aug. 18, at 7:30 p.m.

While most fathers spend their days at work, Cam Stuart (Mark Ruffalo) is more likely to be found mushroom-hunting, cooking elaborate meals, or working on one of his many halfcompleted projects. His family’s wealth keeps his family just barely afloat, while Cam struggles to live with manic depression. When Cam has a manic breakdown that lands him in a mental hospital, his wife Maggie (Zoe Saldana) and their two young daughters, Amelia and Faith, are forced to leave their house in the country and move into a cramped apartment in Cambridge, where Maggie tries to find a decent job, with no luck.

Broke, stressed, and overwhelmed, Maggie applies to business school and is accepted to Columbia Univer-

sity’s MBA program. Seeing this as her chance to build a better life for their daughters, Maggie asks Cam to become the primary caregiver for the girls while she completes her degree in New York. After all, routine is what the doctor ordered and the girls miss their dad. Cam agrees, hoping to rebuild his family. But the two spirited girls are not interested in making things easy for him; and he quickly realizes that he’s in over his head. Over the course of the next 18 months, as Maggie rushes to complete her degree, he learns, through trial and a lot of error, how to take care of his precocious daughters

as well as himself.

Peter Travers, in Rolling Stone calls the fi lm “an indelibly intimate portrait of what makes a family when the roles of parent and child are reversed.” Moira MacDonald, in the Seattle Times, calls it “irresistible.”

Steven Rea, in the Philadelphia Inquirer, calls it “deeply personal and fi lled with love.” Peter Keough, in the Boston Globe, says “the fi lm boasts two of the best child performances so far this year, and Saldana has never been tougher or more vulnerable. Then there’s Ruffalo, who demonstrates again why he may be the best actor of his genera-

tion.” Rated R for language, “Infinitely Polar Bear” runs 90 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. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Series continues with the Amy Winehouse documentary/ biopic “Amy” on Aug. 22 & 25; and “Mr. Holmes,” starring Ian McKellen, on Aug. 29 & Sept. 1.

The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning

headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. Headset funding provided by Robert & Marilyn Maytum, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, the DunkirkFredonia Lions Club, and by a grant from Theatre Development Fund’s TAP Plus program in partnership with the New York State Council on the Arts.

Keeping the Faith

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org

Dear Pastor, I did some stupid things and can’t get past them.

How do I move on?

I’m sorry that this has been so difficult for you but please know that it’s not God’s will that you be struggling about this. Living in the past can rob you of any future peace and victory and will most definitely keep you from fulfi lling your God given destiny. Let’s look to the Word of God for the answers to your dilemma.

There are two parts to the problem of forgiveness. The first is understanding and believing that God has made forgiveness possible.

According to the Bible, God made it available for all His Believers.

Colossians 2:13 declares, “And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses.”

Notice that the forgiveness mentioned is past tense and includes ALL sin. Jesus ALREADY did this through His death and resurrection.

If Jesus already did this then we must believe that it’s available to us.

Like a cook who opens the refrigerator and sees all the ingredients

for his dinner neatly tucked on the shelves, our righteousness through Jesus has made available everything we need! All forgiveness, all healing, all provision, all strength and peace is already there. So the issue isn’t that God doesn’t have forgiveness for you.

The second aspect of the forgiveness process is that we must receive what’s been provided! It’s important that we remember that we have a part to do in this process. Let’s look at James 5:15-19 which says, “And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise Him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.” Notice that right after the forgiveness of sins is declared “confessing” is mentioned. Taken in the broader sense, even our Salvation cannot be obtained without repentance and confessing to God. This isn’t saying that you need to shout all your business to anyone around, but it does indicate the importance

family church F R E D O N I A

of repenting to God in prayer. This will guarantee that He hears your repentance for what happened and your request for forgiveness. But like the passage above, it must be received by faith.

Next time: more on the faith to forgive.

Chairman Tom Benson points out that the National Comedy Center has been formally adopted as part of New York State’s long term, statewide tourism strategy.

He said, “We look forward to creating a place of laughter and learning for generations to come.” We couldn’t agree more.

We are fortunate to have a substantial tourism base in Chautauqua County already, featuring the considerable contributions from Chautauqua Institution, Lake Erie Wine Country, Lily Dale Assembly, the Roger Tory Peterson Institute, the Robert H. Jackson Center, and so much more.

We look forward to welcoming even more tourists with

the addition of this jewel to the mix, and the boost in businesses for both downtown Jamestown and the county as a whole.

It was great fun to have family members from some of the legends of comedy on hand for the groundbreaking, but we need to recognize the real movers and shakers who have made this project a reality.

We applaud the hard work and dedication of National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson, Chairman Tom Benson, and the entire board of the Lucy-Desi Museum and Center for Comedy. Their persistent efforts, and the support of all local and state elected officials, have created an extraordinary opportunity for a huge payoff for our entire region.

Learn To Make Fairy Creatures At The Nature Center Contributed Article Audubon Center and Sanctuary

Nature can provide the materials for whimsical creatures and creations to commemorate a family trip, a special event, or just a favorite place.

You can learn to use materials found at the Audubon Nature Center for “Making Fairy Creatures” on Saturday, August 22 from 10 a.m. to noon.

A favorite activity of Nature Center summer campers is making “peep” houses for imaginary creatures that live in the forest. This workshop takes that idea further, using pine cones, leaves, sticks, and seeds to create miniature forest creatures – some real and some fantastical.

In addition to its obvious craft nature, this workshop will also give you a different perspective on the outdoors, focus your attention on things you might not otherwise notice, and channel your creativity into a unique, place-based item. You will also learn more about the plants and animals of the region and showcase them in one-of-a-kind creations.

JCC Receives $1M For Scholarships Contributed Article JCC

Jamestown Community College students pursuing nursing and health-related degrees will benefit significantly from a $1 million dollar investment by the Johnson Foundation of Jamestown.

The John A. and Oscar Johnson Memorial Trust Scholarship Fund for Nursing and Health-Related Professions, established through the investment, will provide scholarships with a preference given to students who have graduated from Chautauqua County high schools, are Chautauqua County residents, and who meet financial aid eligibility requirements.

The investment was formally accepted at a special meeting of the JCC board of trustees on August 11.

“JCC is extremely honored to be the recipient of such an important and impressive gift,” said JCC president Cory L. Duckworth. “The Johnson Trust has a strong history of strengthening our region and this investment in the lives of our nursing and health-related students at the college will perpetuate that legacy well into the future.

“What is particularly important about this gift is that it will help students and, at the same time, strengthen our healthcare sector by insuring the availability of high

quality health service providers in the region,” Dr. Duckworth added.

Johnson Scholarship funds may be used for tuition and living expenses that are unmet by other scholarships and other forms of financial aid.

In recognition of the Johnson Foundation gift, the JCC board of trustees announced that JCC’s nursing program facility, located in the Arts and Sciences Center, will be named the John A. and Oscar Johnson Nursing Education Center.

The facility, which has a capacity for 200 students, features two large classrooms and two 10-bed clinical laboratory units with simulation

rooms.

JCC’s associate degree in nursing program was established in 1963 with a $7,600 grant from the Kellogg Foundation and served as the only such program in western New York for several years. From seven pilot associate nursing degree programs in four states in 1958 to 130 nationwide by 1963, nursing education programs are now offered at more than 1,000 community colleges.

The Johnson Foundation, established by the John A. and Oscar Johnson Memorial Trust, has supported charitable, religious, and

educational organizations, particularly those that focus on children, the elderly, and Swedish heritage, for the past 20 years.

John Johnson came to the U.S. from Sweden in the 1920s and lived with his brother Oscar in Jamestown.

The brothers built houses for area families. John also worked for the Marlin Rockwell Corporation, retiring in 1967. He inherited Oscar’s estate in 1976.

Created in 1995 following John’s death, the Johnson Foundation has been administered by Carole Sellstrom, executive director, and her husband, John, and Bessemer Trust Company of New York City as co-trustees.

“It has been a great honor to administer the Johnson Foundation,” said John Sellstrom. “While John Johnson spent the majority of his life in Jamestown as a Swedish citizen, he was proud to have become an American citizen and to be able to give back to his adopted home and its many worthy organizations and citizens.”

Mr. Sellstrom also noted the Johnson Foundation trustees are in the process of closing the foundation, according to John Johnson’s wishes.

“This very large investment of $1,000,000 in JCC will carry out Johnson’s plan to assist students and the community in positive steps toward enhancing our area’s healthcare system,” Sellstrom added.

Fredonia College Foundation Bestows Distinguished Service Awards Contributed Article Fredonia

r

The Distinguished Service Award, the most prestigious honor given by the Fredonia College Foundation, d was presented recently to Dr. Robert L. Heichberger and Fredonia alumnus Dr. Michael Marletta, and to the 1891 Fredonia Opera House, to recognize their service to their community, the world at large, and ” most importantly, to Fredonia.

Nearly 150 people gathered at the Distinguished Service Award banquet held in their honor at the Williams Center. Since 1980, the biennial event has generated funds for foundation programs, including, most recently, the Keeper of the Dream Scholarship and Leadership program.

Dr. Heichberger was an integral part of Fredonia for several decades, beginning in 1964 upon his faculty appointment to the College of Education. After teaching for 28 years, he established and then directed the Graduate Educational Administration and Supervision program for many years. Other high-level campus positions included Executive Assistant to the President and Acting Dean of Professional Studies.

Heichberger’s steadfast commitment to education extended beyond the campus. He was a school principal in East Aurora Public Schools for 13 years and an adjunct faculty member at the University at Buffalo.

Staff of the 1891 Fredonia Opera House including (left to right) Executive Director Rick Davis, Business/Box Office Manager Marcia Finley, Technical Director Dan Allen and Richard Lewis, president of its board of directors.

Additionally, Heichberger served 13 years on the Fredonia College Council, was elected to the Gowanda Central School Board of Education and was a member of the Tri-County Hospital Board and a host of other statewide committees devoted to the advancement of professional education. His service in educational administration has been recognized the American Association of School Administrators and he is the recipient of the Educator of the Year Award from Phi Delta Kappa International.

Heichberger is also known in the surrounding community as the founder, producer and moderator of the radio program “Focus on Education;” as a regular columnist in the Observer daily newspaper and as a motivational speaker. He established the Heichberger Family and Scholars Leadership Endow-

ment through the Fredonia College Foundation to benefit future educators.

Dr. Marletta, a 1973 graduate of Fredonia, has compiled an impressive career as an educator and researcher after receiving his doctorate from the University of California at San Francisco. He has taught at M.I.T., the University of Michigan and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and also taught and held an endowed chair at the University of California at Berkley.

Marletta also served as president and CEO and held an endowed chair at The Scripps Research Institute, a world renowned pioneer in biomedical science. He recently returned to the University of California at Berkley as the CH and Annie Li Chair in the Molecular Biology of Diseases.

Marletta was awarded the prestigious John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship and elected to the Institute of Medicine, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Inventors.

Individual awards received by Marletta include the Fredonia Alumni Outstanding Achievement Award, the Harrison Howe Award, the Repligen Award, the Esselen Award for Chemistry in the Public Interest, the Alfred Bader Award in Bioorganic or Bioinorganic Chemistry and the University of California at San Francisco’s 150th Anniversary Alumni Excellence Award.

Marletta continues to support science education and research at Fredonia. He served as an advisor in the development of the Biochemistry major, as a guest lecturer, mentor and chair of the Science Advisory Council, and advisor in the development of Fredonia’s new Science Center. He has been a board member of the Fredonia College Foundation since 2002 and, with his wife, Margaret, established the Mary J. Marletta Scholarship.

For more than 20 years, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House has provided a wide range of programming including music, theater and dance performances and independent fi lm screenings. It also hosts high-definition satellite broadcasts and the annual Bach and Beyond Baroque Music Festival.

I don’t want you, or me to be the next person who invites disaster into their life through an inactive lifestyle. We must be the ones who change mindsets, find intentions that matter, and act inspired to honor those intentions.

Thinking of these scenarios may help bring the change: 1. The next time you

wake up, and don’t feel like exercising; think of the little boy who has been paralyzed since birth, and would give all he has to take the steps you take. He dreams of the ability to move his body in the way YOU are able.

Physical movement is a blessing; if exercising for your own benefit does not motivate you, do it for this child. The one who would hate to see the blessing of movement go to waste.

2. If improving the aesthetics of your body does not motivate you, then focus on the benefits exercise will bring your family. Think of the TIME exercise adds

Each repetition can bring another breath; each drop of sweat another minute.

3. Exercise makes you fit to answer the call.

Each of us has been created for a specific purpose. Therefore, we must be the WHO we were created to be, in order to do the WHAT we were created to do.

Part of “being the who” is becoming fit to fulfill your purpose. Picture this…You’re sitting at home finishing dinner with your family, and notice the smell of smoke. As you look out the window, you realize your neighbor’s house has caught on fire. In-

stantly, you feel the call to help your neighbors get out of the house.

Would you want to be the one who gets every person out? Or the one who has to stop running to catch their breath?

We must be able to answer the call with our full potential.

Thinking of fitness in these scenarios unlocks a whole new world.

Strength wasn’t created to be left it the gym. That’s simply the factory where it’s built and refined. We must increase our strength so when the true calling comes, we are STRONG enough to CONTINUED ON PG 22

My daughter will tell you she loves “fruits and vegetables” and she does, especially cut up peppers, and tomatoes from Grandpa’s garden, apples, berries and raisins, to name a few - but she will sometimes points out rice or chicken as a vegetable, presenting a great learning opportunity! I took her to the blueberry patch to learn exactly where her favorite fruit comes from and she loved it. Yes, it seemed as though she ate more than she picked but what a great snack for her and an overall fun learning experience for us both.

For her third birthday party, I had a hot dog bar (what kid doesn’t love hot dogs?). I offered the all-beef with no nitrates dogs as well as the old-fashioned pork links that we all love, along with wholewheat and enriched white

buns. What I also did was offer a variety of local vegetable toppings including onions, tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeño peppers, sauerkraut, pickles and relish. Cole slaw (what a great way to get cabbage in!) and fresh sweet corn were the sides - see how easy it is to make half your plate full of vegetables?! My aunt brought a fruit salad with berries, grapes and melon which added fruit to our plates. (And yes, we did have homemade cupcakes, a children’s book themed cake and ice cream that we all enjoyed).

We are fortunate enough to live in an area rich in agriculture so check out your local farmers market - or stop by a roadside stands as part of a country drive - and enjoy the abundant vegetables and fruits!

Out Of The Darkness Walk To Benefit Suicide Prevention Contributed Article Chautauqua Tapestry

Community members from all over the area are expected to participate in the upcoming Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Saturday, October 17. The fundraising walk supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) by helping support local suicide prevention and awareness programs right here in Chautauqua County. The goal for this year is to raise at least $15,000.

This walk is being organized by the local suicide awareness and prevention coalition within Chautauqua County called The Community Alliance for Suicide Prevention with other local organizations including the Chautauqua County Early Identification and Recognition Program, Chautauqua Tapestry, Chautauqua County Mental Hygiene, Compeer Chautauqua, and passionate community members.

The Jamestown Out of the Darkness Walk is one of more than 360 Out of the Darkness Community Walks being held across the country this

fall. The walks are expected to unite more than 200,000 walkers nationally and raise more than $15 million for suicide prevention efforts.

"The group is continually organizing trainings on topics of suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention that will be available to local organizations, agencies, schools and community members," said Victoria Patti, co-coordinator of the Community Alliance. "Our goal is to create a change in the way we currently look at suicide and eliminate the stigma surrounding the topic as a whole. The goal of increased education will be a reduction in the number of suicides in our community. The over-arching mission is to eliminate occurrences of suicide all together. Suicide has devastating effects on so many people. There needs to be better understanding regarding its causes and prevention. There is so much misinformation surrounding the topic of suicide and the underlying mental disorders that can sometimes lead to suicide. The Out of the Darkness Community Walk is aimed at raising awareness and eliminating that stigma."

The Jamestown Out of the Darkness Community Walk will take place at the Dr. Lillian Vitanza

Ney Renaissance Center with registration beginning at 9:00 am and the walk beginning at 10:00 am. To register, go to www.outofthedarkness.org and click on find an event to search and register for the Jamestown Out of the Darkness Community Walk.

“After cancer and heart disease, suicide accounts for more years of life lost than any other cause of death,” said Sarah Clark, Western New York Area Director of AFSP. “This fall, thousands will be walking to raise money for prevention and awareness, and offer hope to millions of people who have lost a loved one to suicide or who battle personally with depression, bipolar illness, addiction and other mental illnesses," continued Clark.

About the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention: The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education and advocacy as well as to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.

Dr. Marlena Vega, ASCW, PhD, To Hold Workshop Contributed Article Dept. of Health and Human Services

Dr. Marlena Vega, a pioneering psycho-oncologist, will present a free adult bilingual workshop on “Making Life Work for You: Beyond Disease” on Tuesday, September 8 at 9:30 a.m. The workshop will be held at the Fredonia Technology Incubator, 214 Central Avenue, Dunkirk and is sponsored by the Chautauqua County Department of Health & Human Services, Cancer Services Program.

Dr. Vega is a third generation breast and skin cancer survivor. She is one of the nation's foremost experts on survivorship. Able to reach large and diverse audiences regardless of ethnic, social, or language barriers, Dr. Vega speaks on such issues as overcoming a life threatening illness such as cancer, substance abuse, AIDS, and mental health. Dr. Vega

teaches people how to reach the goals that they set and how to find the ability to overcome the challenges and obstacles that they face in their lives.

“Dr. Vega has been all over the world working with survivorship and we’re fortunate to have her here to share her methods of self-empowerment with us,” said Christine Schuyler, County Director of Health & Human Services. “Supporting a loved one during a life threatening illness, trying to break an addiction or cope with a mental illness can put a strain on the entire family structure. The opportunity to learn tools which instill success and survival is phenomenal and we are thrilled to be able to share these tools with our community residents and caregivers through Dr. Vega,” added Schuyler.

Dr. Vega's lessons have been translated into several languages and have helped countless individu-

als throughout the years. She has appeared on news segments, talk shows, documentaries, and has lectured at academic institutions and organizations such as Harvard University, Columbia University's School of Public Health, Pace University, Hebrew University, The University of Puerto Rico, and the National Coalition for Breast Can-

24 THIS GREAT COUNTY

CHAUTAUQUA STAR FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 2015

Chautauqua Western New York has so many great places to see and things to do. Each city, village and town has a story, and we’ve set out to tell that story. We’ll go through the county, place by place, for the next few months. Check back every week for the next edition of “This Great County."

Star Special Feature

In 1805 Jonathan Smith made the first settlement on the west side of Lake Chautauqua, near the grounds of the future Chautauqua Assembly. The following year the Prendergasts contracted for a large tract of land nearby, and the same month James and William Prendergast, Jr., erected a log house there.

As a result of its perfect location, the Chautauqua movement began here in 1873. Fair Point, as it was known then, transformed into a permanent community of importance, while the lands bordering the upper part of the lake within the town steadily increased in value because of their spectacular lakeside location. First proposed by John Heyl Vincent and Lewis Miller, the assembly began as a Methodist Episcopal program camp. The eightweek summer program offered participants secular and religious instruction; and lectures by authors, explorers, musicians, and political leaders.

Half revival meetings and half recreation camp, Chautauqua drew thousands of participants each year.

Heyl Vincent, co-founder and a prominent minister, later became a Methodist bishop. Miller, an industrialist from Akron, Ohio, designed a chalettype cottage, which was the first permanent cottage in Chautauqua. It was among the earliest examples of the pre-fabrication movement in America.

Unfortunately Lewis Miller’s son Theodore Miller was killed in action on San Juan Hill while serving with Colonel Roosevelt in the Spanish American War. Miller’s daughter, Mina, became the second wife of Thomas Edison.

The Institution, originally the Chautauqua Lake Sunday School Assembly, was founded as an educational experiment in out-of-school, vacation learning. It was successful and broadened almost immediately beyond courses

While founders Miller and Heyl Vincent were Methodists, other Protestant denominations participated from the first year onward, and today Chautauqua continues to be ecumenical in spirit and practice. Chautauqua's Department of Religion presents distinguished religious leaders of many faiths from this country and abroad, both as preachers and teachers.

First Class Entertainment By 1880 the Chautauqua platform had established itself as a national forum for open discussion of public issues, international relations, literature and science. Approximately 100 lecturers appear at Chautauqua during a season.

Music became increasingly important at Chautauqua, especially after the turn of the century. A symphony orchestra season became part of the regular program in 1920. The Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1929, now performs three times a week with leading soloists in the 5,000seat amphitheater, Chautauqua's program center.

The Chautauqua Ballet Company also appears in the Amphitheater, sometimes with guest artists, while the Chautauqua Conservatory Theater presents its season in Bratton Theater. The Chautauqua Opera Company, also founded in 1929, performs in English in Norton Hall.

of the Chautauqua movement. The program would be presented in tents pitched "on a well-drained field near town." After several days, the Chautauqua would fold its tents and move on.

Lectures were the mainstay of the Chautauqua tent movement. Topics included current events, travel and stories, often with a comedic twist. William Jennings Bryan with his populist and evangelical message addressing topics such as temperance, was the most popular Chautauqua speaker until his death in 1925.

The Book Club The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) was started in 1878 to provide those who could not afford the time or money to attend college the opportunity of acquiring the skills and essential knowledge of a college education. The CLSC continues to be one of the oldest book clubs in America and historically provided educational opportunities to women and rural populations that were unprecedented anywhere else in the nation. It was based on the premise that everyone "has a right to be all that he can be -- to know all that he can know".

Famous Chautauquans The charming 19th century institution has attracted a variety of diverse resident artists and lecturers, including George Gershwin, Lucille Ball and Horace Greeley. President Grant was the first of nine presidents to visit the Chautauqua Institution; President Bill Clinton was the most recent.

Many of these presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Bill Clinton have given speeches at the Institution. Most notably President Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his "I Hate War" speech in the Amphitheater in 1936.

President Theodore Roosevelt was quoted as saying that “Chautauqua is a gathering of America that is typical of America."

Golfing at Chautauqua Besides U.S. Open golf Champions Walter Hagen and Ben Hogan, the

most famous person on the 14th fairway at the Chautauqua Golf Course had to be Amelia Earhart. On July 20, 1929, a year after being the first woman to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean, she landed her Lockheed "Vega" named "Gray Gables" on the golf course. After lunching with Dr. and Mrs. Bestor she gave a rousing lecture to 5,000 in the amphitheater before entertaining questions. The most famous aviatrix of the time, Amelia gave new meaning to the term "playing through," maybe irritating a few regular golfers.

The original 18 holes at Chautauqua have given way for two expansions to 36 holes making it one of the largest golf courses in the region. Very historic and picturesque overlooking beautiful Chautauqua Lake from several holes and is available for public play. Who knows, you might spot Bill Clinton or Willie Nelson on a golf cart during your round. Both enjoyed the course while coming to the Institution.

Miller Bell Tower Today The iconic image of the Miller Bell Tower on the point jutting into the lake sums up the commitment, heritage and durability of the many programs that Chautauqua has helped promote in America. Appealing to many different groups and ages of people with art or music, literature, education, theater and physical fitness at the same time tempered with the clear ring of religious morality. Take advantage of the many offerings of the Chautauqua Institution this summer because each week is a new adventure that can excite your passions or your imagination with its natural beauty and programming.

The weather was perfect on Saturday. The fields were in pristine condition. There were more than 250 people participating.

Yes, it was a wonderful day for the 7th Annual Nathan George Softball Tournament.

“Are you kidding?,” vice president of the Nathan George Foundation Sandy George responded when asked what her son would think about the event. “He would be absolutely amazed. As Nathan would say, ‘total awesomeness!’”

There were 18 teams competing in the tournament with well over 250 individual athletes taking part in the event. Games were played across three fields in Dunkirk.

COMMENTARY, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 27 passed. That doesn’t mean that a person can’t try, though, right?

What this really has to do with is the Buffalo Bills’ current quarterback situation. If you haven’t totally blocked it from your memory, the Bills drafted E.J. Manuel out of Florida State with the 16th overall pick in that draft.

The draft started well for Buffalo.

They were able to trade down when the St. Louis Rams wanted that No. 8 spot to draft “playmaker” (he says while trying to stifle a laugh) Tavon Austin. That was great. Now with the No. 16 pick (and extra picks added in the trade), the Bills were in great position to add an impact player.

Instead, they took Manuel.

Really, though, did the Bills actually have a chance to draft a great player? The 2013 NFL Draft is looking pretty weak after two full seasons.

There have been exactly seven Pro Bowlers selected from that class. One of those was is a good special teams player and a terrible wide receiver (Cordarrelle Patterson, Vikings, 29th overall).

Two are interior offensive lineman (Kyle Long, Bears, 18th overall and Travis Frederick, Cowboys, 31st overall). While the Bills could probably use O-Line help, interior linemen are generally considered replaceable.

There were, however, some players the Bills could have drafted that would have significantly changed and improved this year’s team.

Consider this: both Green Bay’s Eddie Lacy and Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell (and, to a lesser extent, Cincinnati’s Giovani Bernard) were drafted in the second round and are arguably the best two running backs in the league.

What would have happened had Buffalo drafted one of those two guys instead of Manuel? Well, you can bet that they wouldn’t have given up Kiko Alonso to get LeSean McCoy this past offseason.

That’s not to mention the salary

Eric Fisher No. 1 overall before the Jaguars picked Luke Joeckel at No. 2.

From all accounts, Fisher has been a disappointment for the Chiefs.

Pass protection really derailed Kansas City’s offense and Fisher was as big a culprit as anyone.

Adam Teicher just wrote an article on ESPN.com entitled, “If Eric Fisher isn’t better, Chiefs’ offense also won’t improve.” It’s a terribly wordy title, but speaks volumes about the former No. 1 overall pick.

Likewise, the Jaguars have been left wanting more from Joeckel.

He fractured his ankle and played just five games his rookie year. He then allowed eight of Jacksonville’s Odell Beckham, Jr. could be in a Buffalo Bills uniform right now had things NFL-worst 71 sacks allowed last played out slightly differently.

hadn’t actually played without me at all either, so he had nearly a month of rust to knock off.

That being said, we were both very surprised when he smoked his fi rst drive right down the middle of the fairway and followed that up with a beautiful hybrid shot that nearly reached the green. He suffered from some of that poor chipping that plagued me, but for the most part, I was impressed by his ability to bounce back from not swinging a club in quite a few weeks.

It was nice to be back at Pinehurst, as well.

I hadn’t been up there in quite some time.

Westfield was crushed by that flooding and the course was torn up pretty good. Then when I played with my wife, I chose a course that was a little more doable for a person that never plays.

Neither course is impossible, but Pinehurst is defi nitely a little longer and that can make a big difference knowing Adriel’s game.

One more note from that round: I found some really nice golf balls out on the course. I found a Titleist ProV1. I found a Nike Mojo. I found a Callaway Diablo. I found a Callaway Chromesoft. That’s a nice haul. Now I NEVER condone picking up a ball if there are other golfers anywhere in sight. You never know just how terrible their tee shot was and where their ball ended up. That includes hitting trees and bouncing into other fairways. When in doubt, leave the ball where you found it. But if you’re out there on the course with no other golfers nearby, scoop those bad boys up. Goodness knows we all lose enough balls in the course of a season. It might just save a lawnmower blade as well.

Keep sending me information on tournaments you might be running or playing in. I still don’t have much on my calendar for August and I love covering golf tournaments.

As always, golf is great. Go get some.

Gerry Rodeo Wraps Up With Record Numbers

Contributed Article Paul Cooley

The 71st annual PRCA rodeo sponsored by the Gerry Volunteer Fire Department concluded on Saturday night with what rodeo officials termed “the best in recent memory� as records were set in both the number of contestants and the total prize money paid out, and attendance was 7576, nearly 2000 over last year for the four performances.

A record number of more than 200 professional cowboys and cowgirls from 25 states as well as Canada and Australia arrived in Gerry with the hopes of taking home some of the record $61,172 in prize money, which comes from the fire department itself, sponsoring area businesses, and from entry fees which each contestant has to pay.

Those entry fees range from $90 to $150 depending on the event. Competitors who do not place in their event, lose that entry fee and go home empty handed plus having paid travel expenses.

Darren Morgan, Fort Ann, New York, was named the All Around cowboy, an award which goes to the cowboy who wins the most money while competing in at least two events. Although Morgan did not take first in his events, he won $437 in the tie-down roping and $639 in the team roping for a total of $1076. J.R. Myers, Felton, Pennsylvania, won his second consecutive tie-down roping championship in Gerry and took home $1313 and a set of Montana Silversmith spurs.

Sabres To Host Bruins, Devils In Prospects Tournament Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Sabres will host the Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils in a pre-training camp prospects tournament, which they hope to turn into an annual event.

Each teams' prospects will play two games during a tournament that will run from Sept. 12-14, the Sabres announced Tuesday. Games will be played at the Sabres' home arena and adjoining HarborCenter, a newly opened two-rink hotel/entertainment complex which hosted the NHL pre-draft scouting combine in June.

The Sabres began developing plans for the tournament earlier this year in a bid to showcase their up-and-coming stars. They include Boston University center Jack Eichel, who was drafted second overall in June.

New Team, Same Rex: Ryan Takes Buffalo By Storm

By John Wawrow AP Sports Writer

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) -- Rex Ryan had just finished wrapping up his daily post-practice session with reporters at training camp when a Bills fan in the nearby stands delivered what has become a common message to the team's new coach. ''We love you, Rex!'' the woman yelled. ''Thank you,'' Ryan responded. Smiling, he added as an aside for only a few to hear: ''We haven't lost yet.''

There's truth in that, though don't think for an instant the ever-confident Ryan believes there will be many losses in the Bills' immediate future. ''Everybody gets it, that this is the honeymoon period, and we haven't lost a game,'' Ryan said. ''But you know what the great thing is? This ain't the honeymoon period. The honeymoon period's coming,'' he said. ''I truly believe there's going to be such great days ahead of us that the true honeymoon period is getting ready to take place.

It hasn't taken place.''

If that sounds like a playoff promise, you wouldn't be wrong. ''Yeah, we're all in,'' Ryan said. ''It's never crossed my mind that this team wouldn't be a factor.''

New team. New city. Same Rex. With a bigger than-life-personality, Ryan has taken western New York by storm since arriving in mid-January. Weeks after being fired by the New York Jets, Ryan replaced Doug Marrone, who abruptly stepped down on Dec. 31.

Ryan's embraced the blue-collar town and culture by having beer and wings at The Big Tree Inn, a long-time Bills hangout, while referencing the franchise's storied past, from Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly to 1960s star running back Cookie Gilchrist. ''Rex gets it,'' Kelly said. ''If there's somebody in Buffalo that's not excited about this season, something's wrong.''

Added veteran defensive tackle Kyle Williams: ''He understands what the history of this team means to the community. Because once you understand that connection, you can understand why our fans are as passionate as they are.''

Ryan has provided a brash voice and swagger to a team that's faded from relevance during a 15-season stretch of missing the playoffs - the NFL's longest active drought.

He has vowed to build a ''bully.'' He's tricked-out

like I was an employee.''

Ryan went 46-50, and in his first two years led the Jets to consecutive AFC championship games, both losses.

In Buffalo, the 52-year-old defensive specialist and son of famed coach Buddy Ryan is re-energized. ''I feel like I've been here for years,'' Ryan said.

He's no stranger to Buffalo. He and his twin brother Rob spent much of the 1970s growing up in nearby Toronto. Ryan attended several Bills home games, though he was rooting for the Jets, when his father was an assistant coach from 1968-75. ''Buffalo's different,'' Ryan said. ''I think I'm the only (coaching candidate) who brought it up, about fielding a team that would represent this community, and recognizing the loyalty of the fan base.''

Pegula recalls the first thing Ryan said was how Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan smiles as he he wanted to live in the part of town where it delivers on a challenge by eating two dog biscuits following practice at the team's training camp snowed the most. facility in Pittsford, N.Y., Thursday, Aug. 6, 2015.

Phil, Fowler, Spieth Add Spice To PGA Practice

By Eddie Pells AP National Writer

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) -Jordan Spieth let out a very large ''Whooooooo'' after watching the 20-foot putt hit the bottom of the cup.

Sunday on the 18th green at the PGA Championship?

Not quite.

But still very satisfying. And it wasn't even Spieth's putt.

Rather, it was rookie Justin Thomas making the long twister on No. 16 at Whistling Straits to give himself and Spieth a 2-up lead over Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler in their Tuesday best-ball match. Mickelson has been setting up these practice-round games - just for fun and a bit of cash - for years. ''It feels good for everyone,'' Spieth said. ''That's why Phil gets them together.''

Two-down with two holes to go, Mickelson and Fowler pressed Spieth and Thomas on the 17th tee box, setting up a new bet that covered only the last two holes.

Mickelson responded by hitting his tee shot pin high, to 8 feet, on the 223-yard par 3, then making the putt for birdie to win the hole.

That set up some drama on 18, when Fowler drained a 20-foot birdie putt, forcing Spieth to knock one in from about 5 feet to halve the whole, keep the lead in the overall game and end up even in the betting.

Which, of course, is what really counts on days like this. ''You don't want to lose and have to hand those guys whatever you play for,'' said Spieth, who goes for his third major of the season when the 'real' golf starts Thursday. ''There's a little bit of nerves strictly because of bragging rights. And also because it means some-

thing.''

Nobody reveals the stakes.

Suffice to say it's not a $2 Nassau. The combined career earnings of the four players is more than $135 million.

Thomas, a 22-year-old tour rookie making his second appearance in a major, has won only $2 million of that.

His entry into this game is another longstanding tradition of Mickelson's. In addition to getting sharp for the grinding week ahead, Mickelson sets up these games to give the young players the taste of pressure - and, specifically, pressure

in a team game, the likes of which they play every year on the U.S. side in the Presidents or Ryder Cups. ''If I go out and play on a Tuesday, I don't get much out of it,'' Thomas said. ''You lose focus. You kind of hit shots that don't mean anything. Every shot means something on a day like today. The nerves can get going.''

Anticipating the showdown with Mickelson, Spieth suggested last week that he might bring the U.S. Open trophy he won at Chambers Bay and place it on every green. It's the only major trophy Lefty has yet to win. ''It's the first time I have something on him,'' Spieth said.

But it never came to that.

Less is more, Spieth said, when going against Mickelson, a Grade A trash talker who once made copies of the $100 bills he won off Tiger Woods, drew smiley faces on them and placed them in Woods' locker, along with a note telling Tiger the Benjamins were very happy in their new home. ''He doesn't like it if you're quiet,'' Spieth said about Mickelson. ''If you give it back to him, that's when he

knows it's bothering you.''

And so, after Thomas made the 20 footer on 16 to go 2 up with two to go, he passed Fowler and gave him a nice slap on the butt. That, along with Spieth's shout, were the winning team's most outward displays of emotion.

With money still on the line on the 18th green, Fowler made his long putt, then high-fived and shared a Ryder Cup-esque hug with Mickelson. Then, they stood almost directly behind Spieth as he lined up a fairly simple 5-footer to ensure he and Thomas would break even.

Spieth made it. Never a doubt. ''Me making (my) putt was to save some money,'' Fowler said. ''And it was nice to walk away with that.''

After his final make, Spieth simply offered a meek bow toward Mickelson, who brought him into these games a few years back.

The four posed on the green for some pictures. A friendly close to a bloodless, but stillentertaining day. ''It was a great match,'' Spieth said. ''We had a good time with it. And we kept Phil quiet most of the day.''

Logano Wins At Watkins Glen, Saves Fuel This Time

By John Kekis AP Sports Writer

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) -- Joey Logano kept his foot on the gas pedal a little bit longer than usual after taking the checkered flag at Watkins Glen International, a huge cloud of smoke wafting toward victory lane.

This time he had more than enough left in the tank of his No. 22 Ford. ''It makes up a lot for last week,'' Logano said Sunday after notching his first Sprint Cup victory on a road course and second of the season.

He also won the season-opening Daytona 500. ''It's nice it played out this time. We may not have had the fastest race car, but the execution of the day is what won us this race. What goes around comes around, I guess.''

A week after running out of gas while leading at Pocono with three laps to go, Logano passed Kevin Harvick on the final turn of the 90-lap race as Harvick ran dry.

Logano completed the first NASCAR weekend sweep at the track after winning the Xfinity race Saturday. He also gave Roger Penske his first Cup victory at The Glen. ''It means an awful lot to Team Penske,'' team vice chairman Walt Czarnecki said. ''I believe this is our winningest track in the whole history of our company going back to the Trans-Am and Can-Am, so this is particularly meaningful for us.''

Kyle Busch, who ran out of fuel on the last lap at Pocono while leading, finished second and moved to 30th in points, the cutoff to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup title as he continued his remarkable surge. ''I had a chance. I could've raced the 22,'' said Busch, six points ahead of Cole Whitt and just one behind Justin Allgaier. ''I felt like I was better than he was, but my crew chief (Adam Stevens) called in scared on the fuel situation from last week and I don't blame him. We didn't want to do the same thing.''

Harvick coasted home third, Matt Kenseth was fourth, and Kurt Busch fifth. Clint Bowyer, Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards, Sam Hornish Jr. and Jimmie Johnson rounded out the top 10.

Tony Stewart, who qualified third, was competing at Watkins Glen for the first time after missing the previous two Cup races at the track. He was nursing a broken right leg two

years ago and sat out last year's race after the sprint car he was driving in a race at nearby Canandaigua struck and killed 20-year-old driver Kevin Ward Jr. the night before Stewart was scheduled to race at Watkins Glen.

On Friday, Stewart again had to revisit that tragedy. Attorneys representing the Ward family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Stewart, another hurdle in what has been a season without much hope until recently, and Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of Ward's death.

Stewart, a five-time winner at The Glen, was greeted warmly by fans during driver introductions but finished last after his car broke a

rear gear midway through the 90-lap race.

In the last road race of his NASCAR career, Jeff Gordon had brake problems and finished 41st to take another big hit in points.

The race turned on strategy. Martin Truex Jr., who started second, pitted after a red flag just past the midpoint of the race as the top drivers stayed out.

Harvick, who pitted two laps before Truex, then gained the lead on a restart on Lap 61, passing Kenseth and pulling out to a lead of over a half-second with Truex third.

Harvick's crew told him he was two laps short on fuel as the race wound down, but he did enough conserving to salvage a podium finish. ''I thought I'd done a pretty good job of saving fuel under the caution,'' Harvick said. ''Really, I was just running as fast as I needed to. Once the 22 got there, I had to pick up the pace.''

Truex's chances disappeared when he suffered a flat left front tire and was forced to pit with 22 laps left around the 2.45-mile natural terrain course. He finished 25th.

Busch had to pit from the lead with just over 30 laps left and dropped deep in the field. He then steadily mounted an aggressive charge back and got past Harvick for second after the final turn. ''I ran hard that whole run,'' said Busch, who has won four races since coming back from a broken leg and foot suffered in an Xfinity race at Daytona in February that forced him to miss the first 11 races of the Cup season. ''I never quite got close enough to him. I couldn't afford to run out of gas.''

Lake Erie Fishing Hotline Contributed Article NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Windy weather limited fishing outings early in the week. Walleye anglers have been able to get out the past two days, with varying results. Trollers off Dunkirk and west towards Brocton Shoal saw very good action yesterday in 70-90 feet of water, where walleye are suspended at varying depths.

There were also plenty of boats working the same depths off Barcelona, but catches were modest. Worm harnesses and stickbaits have both worked well for walleye. Anglers are also catching lots of white bass, so check your lines often for stripped harnesses or dragging white bass. Closer to Buffalo, anglers have really struggled the past couple days in areas that were previously productive. Recent winds have scattered bait and walleye on that end.

Lake trout are available outside 75 feet of water, west of Dunkirk. Anglers have recently done very well on spoons run near the bottom. Lakers in the 8 pound range have been common, with a few 20 pound fish mixed in.

Yellow perch continue to be very tough to find for most anglers. Anglers are catching some smallmouth bass, but the bite has been relatively light.

Target bass around structure areas like reefs, rock piles and drop-offs in 2040 feet of water. Drop-shot rigs combined with crayfish, minnows, plastics or tubes works well. For more information see the Smallmouth Bass Fishing on Lake Erie page.

Walleye Reward Tag Program: The New York State DEC Lake Erie Research Unit, along with other jurisdictions around Lake Erie are conducting a walleye movement study. If you catch a tagged walleye, there is a $100 reward for the return of the whole fish and its internal transmitter. Tag handling and reward information are displayed on an orange external loop tag on the walleye's back. Your cooperation with this research is greatly appreciated!

Upper Niagara River Worms, crayfish and minnows produce a mixed catch of perch, rock bass and smaller black bass from City of Buffalo shore sites. Boaters have a better chance of catching sizeable smallmouth bass. Drifting and bottom bouncing with crayfish works well outside weed edges in 10-20 feet of water.

The east side of Strawberry and Motor Islands is a good bet. Shore anglers should be aware that the Ferry Street bridge to Broderick Park is closed for repairs until early 2016. Currently, Unity Island is only accessible from the bridge at the north end of the island.

Chautauqua Lake Good largemouth bass action remains in shallower areas around docks, weed edges and pockets within the weeds. Surface action is exciting on topwater lures. Bass will also hit live shiners, stickbaits, tubes and jigs with plastics. Musky action has been fair along weedlines on stickbaits and bucktail spinners for both trollers and casters. Trollers can also target suspended musky over deeper waters of 25 feet plus. Anglers see decent catches of keeper yellow perch and sunfish around weedbeds. Small minnows are top bait for perch. Small jigs with grubs or piece of worm and fished under a float, will catch a mix of perch and sunfish.

Inland Trout Fishing The region's trout streams have moderate to slightly lower flows. There are some tricos and caddisfl ies hatching in the area. Stimulator patterns and

terrestrials (ants, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets) will also draw trout to the surface. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you are a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it is a good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook.

Western New York anglers have a variety of Wild Trout Streams and Stocked Trout Streams to choose from. In addition, Public Fishing Rights Maps are available for many of the area's best trout streams. Check out the Fishing For Stream Trout page for introductory information on trout baits, lures, fishing equipment and techniques.

Wiscoy Creek Angler Diary Program DEC Region 9 Fisheries Unit will be running an angler diary program for Wiscoy Creek in Allegany and Wyoming Counties during 2015, and is currently looking for anglers to keep diaries. If you fish Wiscoy Creek (even once) and would like to keep a diary, please call DEC Fisheries at (716) 372-0645 or email at fwfish9@dec.ny.gov. The program will run March 1st through October 31st. This program duplicates one run in 2012 (2012 survey summary) and will be used in conjunction with a late-summer electrofishing survey to evaluate the fishery's overall quality.

If you need more fishing information or would like to contribute to the fishing report, please call or e-mail Mike Todd (716-851-7010; michael.todd@ dec.ny.gov). Good Luck Fishing!

The fishing hotline can also be heard at (716) 679-ERIE or (716) 855-FISH. DEC Seeks Participants For Summer Turkey Survey New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today encouraged New Yorkers to participate in a survey for wild turkeys throughout the month of August.

Citizen science efforts provide wildlife managers with invaluable data and give the public the opportunity to partner with DEC to help monitor New York's wildlife resources. Participants can record observations of turkeys while exploring the forests and fields around their home or driving through the state's beautiful landscapes this summer.

Since 1996, DEC has conducted the Summer Wild Turkey Sighting Survey to estimate the number of wild turkey poults (young of the year) per hen statewide. Weather, predation and habitat conditions during the breeding and brood-rearing seasons can all significantly impact nest success, hen survival and poult survival. This index allows us to gauge reproductive success and predict fall harvest potential.

During the month of August, survey participants record the sex and age composition of all flocks of wild turkeys observed during normal travel.

Those that would like to participate can download a Summer Wild Turkey Sighting Survey form from DEC's website.

Detailed instructions can be found with the data sheet. Survey cards can also be obtained by contacting your regional DEC office, by calling (518) 402-8886, or by e-mailing wildlife@dec.ny.gov (type "Turkey Survey" in the subject line). Observations can also be submitted online.
