FREDONIA OPERA HOUSE PRESENTS GRAMMY-WINNING FOLK ICON
the Zoo and “The FREDONIA, NY — The 1891 Marvelous Toy.”
Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center presents Grammy winner and folk music icon Tom Paxton in concert on Sat., June 18, at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Folk in Fredonia Music Series.
Lifetime Achievement Grammy winner Paxton will appear with the Grammy-winning duo, The DonJuans – singer-songwriters Don Henry and Jon Vezner. The three began writing and playing together and, within days of doing so, knew they were on to something special. Now, they’ve taken that something special on the road! The concert will begin with Vezner moderating a brief conversation and Q&A session between the trio and the audience.
Paxton is one of the great songwriters of his generation. He has performed thousands of concerts around the world, including in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong, Scandinavia, France, Italy, Belgium, Holland, England, Scotland, Ireland and Canada. That fans still enjoy his work is a testament to the quality of his recent output, and to the enduring power of modern standards like “The Last Thing on My Mind,” “Ramblin’ Boy,” “Bottle of Wine,” “Whose Garden Was This?,” “Goin’ to

BY EMILY REYNOLDS JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK -- Cornell Cooperative
Extension of Chautauqua County’s Agricultural Program is excited to announce Cassandra Skal has joined the team in a newly developed position at CCE, Agricultural Coordinator. “Now more than ever we have noticed a need for support to local beginning farmers, established farms looking to diversify and grow, agriculture enthusiasts, and homesteaders” said Executive Director, Emily Reynolds. Cassandra will be coordinating the popular CCE L.E.A.F. (Learn. Empower. Achieve. Farm.) Program as well as Chautauqua Grown, (your source for all things local foods), and in assisting with other agricultural programming throughout the year. Cassandra says she is “incredibly excited to begin her journey as the Agriculture Program Coordinator. Working for Cornell Cooperative Extension has been a dream of mine since I was in Chautauqua County 4-H from a young age” Cassie has agricultural exposure outside of your typical rural experiences from growing up in Erie, PA. She received her first John Deere tractor before she could even walk and attended tractor shows yearly with her grandparents. When she joined Chautauqua County 4-H she fell in love with the show ring, animals, and the agriculture industry. When describing her 4-H career she says, “It all

started with dogs and ended with dogs, rabbits, sheep, pigs, poultry, sewing, leadership, many useful crafting skills, friendships that are still relevant, and so many useful day-to-day and professional skill sets. I was the fortunate recipient of many Awards Trips throughout the years including Career Explorations at Cornell University, Foods Awards trips throughout the county, Capital Days in Albany, NY, and a trip out to Fort Worth, Texas to learn about their agricultural industry amongst other things. Needless to say, I took the privilege of participating in 4-H on full force and with the help of my mom made every opportunity count.” Miss Skal says her experiences in Chautauqua County 4-H inspired her to attend The University of Findlay to study Animal Science. While at The University of Findlay she participated in the beef cattle show team and showed her first bovine at The North American International Livestock Expo. She also showed sheep at The Ohio State fair and several other large sheep shows with the sheep show team. In 2015, Cassandra graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science and as she describes it “a long list of fond memories and lessons to last a lifetime.” After graduation she entered the work force starting out at Moore Research as a Research Assistant and later becoming a Research Coordinator. Since moving to North Clymer, NY she began
working at Cummins Engine Plant in Lakewood. Cassandra says when she saw the Agriculture Program Coordinator position she thought “this is where you need to be! There are no words to describe how excited I am for this long-awaited adventure. The Agriculture Program Coordinator fills so many of my aspirations at one time.” In this position, Cassandra will utilize her love of the agricultural industry, going to and being involved in farms, making connections, sharing connections, organizing events, teaching new skill sets, learning new skills, helping people, and so much more. Cassandra started with CCE Chautauqua in May and has been making new connections daily, she says she is “looking forward to where this position will lead me in time. It is incredibly rewarding to be able to work with Emily Reynolds and Lisa Kempisty, who have been mentors to me since my days in Chautauqua County 4-H.” Outside of work her interests and hobbies include running her own hobby farm that is home to two opinionated horses, half a dozen sheep, a handful of chickens and ducks, two very rambunctious goats, and more rabbits than she wants to admit. Her aspirations include revisiting her wool spinning skills and making things out of her own sheep wool in the near future. She has also planted her largest to-date vegetable garden in hopes it will be incredibly prosperous and provide enough for
her family and neighbors to do some canning this season. You can reach the CCE Agricultural Program by calling or emailing the office 716-664-9502, chautauquaag@cornell.edu. Cassandra can be welcomed directly at Ext 202, or by email at cks83@cornell.edu. The Agricultural Program is one of many programs offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County (CCE-Chautauqua). CCE-Chautauqua is a subordinate governmental agency with an educational mission that operates under a form of organization and administration approved by Cornell University as agent for the State of New York.

“Pomp and Circumstance” This tradition marked by the playing of “Pomp and Circumstance” is rooted in the work of William Shakespeare, which makes it seem like a perfect fit for graduation ceremonies. Sir Edward Elgar composed “Pomp and Circumstance” in 1901 and the title for the song was inspired by a line in the bard’s “Othello.” Elgar received an honorary degree from Yale University in 1905, and during that ceremony “Pomp and Circumstance” was played. The song apparently made a strong impression, as it soon began to be played at various commencement ceremonies, a tradition that continues today.

result, they still needed their graduation caps. But beginning with the class of 1912, graduates were automatically commissioned as officers, so they no longer needed their hats. That led the graduates to throw them in the air, thus beginning one of the more fun and photo-worthy graduation traditions.
Barbecue season has arrived, so soon people will be bonding in the backyard over hamburgers and hot dogs. Backyard barbecue season begins in spring and continues through summer and, where the weather allows, into fall. Barbecues are a perfect summertime soiree, as they’re usually laid back affairs and make use of the pleasant weather. While it’s fun to expand your culinary horizons over the open flame of a grill, it’s important that you never forget the basics, especially when entertaining crowds who are no doubt looking forward to grilled burgers. Giving the masses what they want is good hosting, but you can still try
your hand at a little experimentation when serving burgers at your next backyard barbecue. The following recipe for “Herb CheeseStuffed Garlic Burgers” from Andrew Schloss’ and David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill” (Chronicle Books) provides the best of both worlds. Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers Makes 6 servings 2 pounds ground beef chuck, 85 percent lean 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1. Heat the grill as directed. 2. Using your hands, mix the beef, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well blended; do not overmix. Using a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1⁄2-inch thick. 3. Put a portion (about 11⁄2 teaspoons) of cream cheese in the center of each of the 6 patties; top with the remaining patties and press together, taking care to seal the edges well. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready. 4. Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burgers on the grill, cover and cook for 9 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes, for medium-done (150 F, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160 F). 5. To toast the buns, put them cutsides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking. 6. If serving the burgers di rectly
from the grill, serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and burgers separate until just before eating.
