A Third Option

Back in 2016 the summer Olympicsmdashthe 31st Olympiad of the Modern Eramdashbrought athletes together from 207

countries to compete in Rio de Janeiro Brazil The medal count added up to 307 gold 307 silver and 359 bronze medals for a grand total of 973 athletes on the podium out of the 11238 athletes competing

This year the 32nd Olympiad will create a similar spectacle for the whole world to watch in Tokyo Japan It will once again create a very strange paradox that almost nobody notices

Paradoxically everybody but the gold medal winners can be called losers The Olympic ideal however says that the very good athletesmdashsilver and bronze medal winnersmdashdo deserve credit beside the gold medal best

Joe Torre who managed the New York Yankees to four World Series championships and was the only major leaguer to tally up 2000 hits and 2000 wins as a manager saw the paradox too Joe once told a sports reporter ldquoIts nice to be in first place But just because youre not a winner doesnt mean youre a loserrdquo

Yet it seems we do disagree with Joe Consider some of our other favorite competitions like the Super Bowl the Wimbledon the Stanley Cup and even Joersquos World Series Nobody ever got a silver or bronze medal for losing those We love winners and losers and we love it when the winners take all

And thatrsquos a problem

This week the Jamestown Gazettersquos guest contributor Joni Blackman brings us an in-depth conversation with another winner local attorney

Eddie Sundquist who was just sworn in as the next mayor of Jamestown New York

Mayor Sundquistrsquos success in the recent election however will not guarantee his success as a mayor nor would it for any other winner Success depends on whether a politician or citizen treats an election like the Olympics or like the Superbowl

The Superbowl model of politics says winner takes all in power decision making and goal setting Losers get nothing But usually in American politics at all levels the winner rarely wins by a landslide Nearly as many people voted for the loser And thatrsquos a silver medal

Winner takes all may be one of the worst of all models for politics It risks granting power to a winner to ignore even dominate the second largest part of the population

The Olympic model of politics on the other hand says that second best is nearly as good as the best when all the votes are counted and should not be discounted for losing

Winner-takes-all politics urges voters in the winning party to assume the losers are all wrong ignorant or misinformed and deserve no role in piloting the ship of state

Democracy is not that kind of sport We are all on the winnerrsquos team and the winner plays to win for us all

Thatrsquos the third option beyond winners and losers

Enjoy the read

Christmas Deer

As I left church on Christmas Eve I noticed five deer grazing through our ldquoback fortyrdquo I typically see these deer on Christmas Eve (technically Christmas Day) I havenrsquot seen them on any other night I call them Christmas deer I look for them on Christmas they rarely disappoint

This year as I watched them peacefully make themselves at home at St John there was something holy about the moment See at 1200AM on Christmas Day things feel different at St John In fact things feel different in Williamsville The world seems different Stars shine brighter Life is calmer Individual snowflakes seem precious - each in their own way The world is quiet Silence speaks The Divine seems near

As I drove away from church I thought briefly about the faith of those deer How wonderful I mused to myself that even the deer know to worship baby Jesus on this night How great is it that creation itself pauses for adoration I thought of the animals present at that first Christmas (a donkey camels and sheep) and gave thanks for the ongoing piety of creatures big and small

And then it occurred to mehellip

The deer probably didnrsquot go to church to worship

I did

What was different about this night had nothing to do with Mother Nature or devout deer but me I then realized that I probably donrsquot see those deer on other nights because Irsquom not at church at midnight on other nights These ldquoChristmas deerrdquo are probably the same ones who leave tracks in the snow and mud on ordinary days too These adorable deer are probably the same pests whorsquore eating our arborvitae and

leaving landmines in our yard These Christmas deer are just deer

What makes Christmas Eve and Christmastime special is not that things are different or that God is different It is not special because God is closer to us than normal (God is never nearer or farther from us than God is right now) What makes it special is that we are different We choose to be different We choose to gather in a room with strangers turn the lights off light a candle and sing We scheme up ways to honor people we love with gifts We take time off of work We make time for people We party We pray We praise

God is not different on special days of the year We are On certain days ndash especially on holidays ndash we change We change our routine our mindset our patterns and in many cases our spiritual awareness In that transformation we notice that which is and always was in new and holy ways

And so the invitation comes to us not just on Christmas Day but every day will we make room for God today Will we be changed today Will we as the Apostle writes allow for the transformation of our minds even right now Even in the midst of work and crazy schedules and a life filled with the ordinary will we keep our eyes open to see God at work

Will we make time look for deer peacefully grazing in a vacant field today Will we light a candle today Will we seek God in our darkness today Will we endeavor to honor God and those we love today Will we count the stars today Will we catch a snowflake today Will we party today Will we pray today

There are no Christmas deer There are no Christmas stars There is no Christmas snow There are just deer the same stars and cold snow And all of it is singing Godrsquos praise and calling you to do the same Today

Merry Christmas

Spring 2019 will see the completion of the Martz-Kohl Obser-vatoryrsquos 10-year expansion project For readers and guests who have been fol-lowing the progress a brief history was recently prepared by long-time mem-ber Richard Carlson a founding mem-ber of the association who as a teenage astronomy enthusiast worked with Marshal Martz as far back as the 1950s Richard recalls Marshal Martz founder of the Martz observatory had a dream His wife Mary wanted to perpetuate his dream upon his passing not knowing what would become of her husbands ambition to construct an observatory occupied by one of the largest tele-scopes ever constructed by one man a 30-inch [mirror] Newtonian reflector Time waits for no one and Mary Martz could only wonder what would become of the observatory that had expanded beyond a simple cement block build-ing with a large telescopehellip becoming an educational facility both she and her husband Marshal had dreamed about During the early stages of change the observatory was still Marys home By this time more and more activity was taking place on location by the cor-poration she was responsible to have formed known as the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association Inc which was meeting in an addition attached to the observatory It wasnt until Mary be-queathed the observatory to the as-sociation following her move to a new residence that volunteer observatory members fully realized the potential the observatory had should improve-ments to the facility be made It began as a slow process to improve the facil-ity with fresh paint and minor repairs followed by the replacement of the outdated original telescope with a 24-

inch Cassegrain especially designed for scientific astro-imaging The true renaissance was seen by the general public to emerge with the addition of the Dr Ronald Kohl observatory com-bined with the Martz facility in 2014 which led the observatory to be totally upgraded Following three months of construction in 2018 the observatory reopened its doors to the public with-out fanfare in November The long-awaited effort to complete the revital-ization of the buildings structure had neared conclusionhellipsafety concerns were reduced and guests could once again be invited to the observatory for pleasurable educational experienceshellip including looking through the Kohl telescope exploring the roll-off roof [observing] area and seeing the 24-inch telescope under its dome On November 28th [2018] the association board approved Nu-Wood Creations to complete the inte-riors of the Welcome Center and the new additions added to the front of the observatory Regular activities will re-sume following construction in January when safety concerns will no longer be an issue for our guests The shutdown due to construction came between the Mars opposition that occurred at the end of July 2018 and the Doors Open Jamestown event on January 19th 2019 with a brief reopening in Novem-ber The observatory resumed its regu-lar activities on January 19th 2019 Please visit the Martz-Kohl website to see the calendar of events at httpmartzobservatoryorg observa-tory-calendar News from the Marshal Martz Observatory and the universe beyond our skies is brought to our readers every month by Hall amp Laury Optical at 707 Fairmount Ave Ste 10 Jamestown NY the quality local source for the latest in fashion and highest of quality in glasses and optical aids of every kind including repairs

Spring 2019 Sees Completion

As a child my active mind was full of images experienced while awake and asleep

Trying to paint those scenes onto a canvas always resulted in my being disappointed in the final image failing to capture the essence Crayons were first used with the results acceptable for a child under five The teachers and Nuns at St James School always criticized or tore up my attempts to portray on paper what my mind saw Except for Mrs Muzza of Kindergarten she tried to get me to conform to the directions but usually relented after I stubbornly continued to put wax to paper the way I wanted to Then I tried water colors but lost patience because there was no light in the renderings Next was chalk but without guidance I still failed to capture on the paper with the colors what my mind saw So I started writing Poems had no allure to me I wanted to paint a story with words to describe my visions and experiences I wanted to share all the discoveries made by reading massive quantity of books since age four I got permission to walk to Prendergast Library after school to read until father picked me up on his way home from work What a wonderful place a library is for a child with an acute imagination and a hunger to learn No one was there to tell me what I could not read Instead I was guided to the books they knew from their experience of seeing what I read and checked out every day

My attempts to write stories were either dismissed as fanciful meanderings or falsehoods by the staff of St James RC School The last story I wrote involved traveling to Jupiter to visit several of its moons The Nun told me that there were no such moons I never heard of

Io Europa Ganymede or Callisto F was my grade for making up such nonsense I did not write again until the end of Ninth Grade A fellow student knew how to type She transcribed my chicken scratching to a readable verse There were three chapters I got a B if I remember correctly but do not know what happened to my first short story

My handwriting wasis atrocious A teacher told me she believed it was because my mind was always ahead of my hand hence illegible script A High School Councilor put me into typing class Best thing that ever happened but I did not have a typewriter

Summer of 2012 a trip via ambulance to the Cardiac Intensive Care Ward changed a lot of things The next morning after a lot of tests a heart specialist asked me Is there any stress in your life unresolved My heart attack was induced by extreme anxiety A Shrink was located by a service attached to the Health Insurance I am blessed to have care of Colleens employer After the first few sessions she asked me who are these Stupid People that pop up in our sessions Next week I want you to write a short story about each one of them and also chapters of Nice People The next weeks session a folder with twenty-two chapters was handed to her You do not have time to read all these now do you She responded by asking how many there were and when I told her twenty-two she then asked if that meant eleven Stupid and eleven Nice No there are no nice people I remember in the slum apartments my father managed When she next instructed me to put the pages into the shredder my response Hell no I am going to write a book Almost five years later 87 chapters and counting I do not know when they will be made into a book 147 Chapters to date 12202019

Now I paint with the Microsoft Word(tm) to put images into my readers minds I enjoy making people laugh think or possibly inspire them to write also

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week

Phrases I donrsquot understand catch my attention As a writer I like words to have meanings

we all understand Words shouldnrsquot mean whatever we want them to mean When they do they are a barrier to communication

Take the phrase ldquoLove yourdquo If my wife says it and a waitress says it I hope they donrsquot mean the same thing When you truly do love someone how difficult is it to add the personal pronoun and actually declare a commitment ldquoLove yourdquo is much weaker than ldquoI love yourdquo

I know not everyone will agree and maybe I overreact so letrsquos move on to another phrase ldquofriends of animalsrdquo Who doesnrsquot think of themselves as a friend of animals Hunters are friends of animals and killing animals doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot love them We may not feel warm fuzzies about big brown eyes but we know that killing a deer helps not only the species but other species that share its habitat

Yes ldquoFriends of Animalsrdquo is the name of an organization that saved a mangy bear by taking it from its habitat curing it and prolonging its life in an artificial environment I donrsquot object to that but it does nothing for the mangy bear that walked through my yard several

times last year or any bear that caught the disease from it Mange is a symptom of overpopulation so this issue is bigger than a single animal Spending enormous amounts to save individual animals is not the best investment in the species Money goes further when it supports and sustains species not just individual animals

ldquoTrophy huntingrdquo can also be a confusing phrase People who use it arenrsquot often clear about what they mean Is a trophy hunter a hunter who shoots only the biggest most impressive specimen he can find Is a trophy hunter the one who aims to put animals in record books Or can we call any hunter who brings home the animal he pursues a trophy hunter I would say yes a trophy is the animal the hunter legally bags and tags regardless of its size

The questions ldquoWhat does he scorerdquo and ldquoWill he make the bookrdquo might imply that a big animal is worth more than a small animal or that the hunter who shoots a big animal is a better hunter than the one who shoots a small animal but it doesnrsquot

work that way

ldquoHow can a small animal be a trophyrdquo you

might ask Good question Irsquove shot many animals Regardless of size all are trophies in my eyes For

me every hunt is a trophy hunt

Sometimes a trophy is represented by a keepsake mdash a set of antlers big or small or a hide or a skull or just a photo I regret that I do not have photos of some of my trophies

Sometimes the trophy is in the intangibles It might be the length to which the hunter went to succeed

Sometimes adverse hunting conditions make an animal a trophy like the time I took a doe when the temperature was minus 26 degrees A doe mind you was the trophy

And thatrsquos the way it should be To a fox a mouse is his trophy To a coyote it may be a fawn or a woodchuck TV documentaries show us the hunts of lions and tigers and bears and commonly refer to their prey as trophies To be consistent whatever a rifleman a shotgunner an archer or even a trapper takes is also a trophy

Enter your buck in a record book if you like (and Irsquoll congratulate you) but letrsquos remember that record books represent only a fraction of the trophies hunters take When I shot my first buck a 5-point his antlers fell off Was he a trophy You bet he was

Irsquom in favor of record books but letrsquos not allow them to divide hunters or to define what a trophy is Every hunter pursues trophies and if so-called trophy hunting (whatever anyone means by that) comes to an end all hunting is not far behind

When ldquoThe Everyday Hunterrdquo isnrsquot hunting hersquos thinking about hunting talking about hunting dreaming about hunting writing about hunting or wishing he were hunting If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is contact him through his website wwwEverydayHuntercom He writes for top outdoor magazines and won the 2015 and 2018 national ldquoPinnacle Awardrdquo for outdoor writing

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

A Third Option

Back in 2016 the summer Olympicsmdashthe 31st Olympiad of the Modern Eramdashbrought athletes together from 207

countries to compete in Rio de Janeiro Brazil The medal count added up to 307 gold 307 silver and 359 bronze medals for a grand total of 973 athletes on the podium out of the 11238 athletes competing

This year the 32nd Olympiad will create a similar spectacle for the whole world to watch in Tokyo Japan It will once again create a very strange paradox that almost nobody notices

Paradoxically everybody but the gold medal winners can be called losers The Olympic ideal however says that the very good athletesmdashsilver and bronze medal winnersmdashdo deserve credit beside the gold medal best

Joe Torre who managed the New York Yankees to four World Series championships and was the only major leaguer to tally up 2000 hits and 2000 wins as a manager saw the paradox too Joe once told a sports reporter ldquoIts nice to be in first place But just because youre not a winner doesnt mean youre a loserrdquo

Yet it seems we do disagree with Joe Consider some of our other favorite competitions like the Super Bowl the Wimbledon the Stanley Cup and even Joersquos World Series Nobody ever got a silver or bronze medal for losing those We love winners and losers and we love it when the winners take all

And thatrsquos a problem

This week the Jamestown Gazettersquos guest contributor Joni Blackman brings us an in-depth conversation with another winner local attorney

Eddie Sundquist who was just sworn in as the next mayor of Jamestown New York

Mayor Sundquistrsquos success in the recent election however will not guarantee his success as a mayor nor would it for any other winner Success depends on whether a politician or citizen treats an election like the Olympics or like the Superbowl

The Superbowl model of politics says winner takes all in power decision making and goal setting Losers get nothing But usually in American politics at all levels the winner rarely wins by a landslide Nearly as many people voted for the loser And thatrsquos a silver medal

Winner takes all may be one of the worst of all models for politics It risks granting power to a winner to ignore even dominate the second largest part of the population

The Olympic model of politics on the other hand says that second best is nearly as good as the best when all the votes are counted and should not be discounted for losing

Winner-takes-all politics urges voters in the winning party to assume the losers are all wrong ignorant or misinformed and deserve no role in piloting the ship of state

Democracy is not that kind of sport We are all on the winnerrsquos team and the winner plays to win for us all

Thatrsquos the third option beyond winners and losers

Enjoy the read

Christmas Deer

As I left church on Christmas Eve I noticed five deer grazing through our ldquoback fortyrdquo I typically see these deer on Christmas Eve (technically Christmas Day) I havenrsquot seen them on any other night I call them Christmas deer I look for them on Christmas they rarely disappoint

This year as I watched them peacefully make themselves at home at St John there was something holy about the moment See at 1200AM on Christmas Day things feel different at St John In fact things feel different in Williamsville The world seems different Stars shine brighter Life is calmer Individual snowflakes seem precious - each in their own way The world is quiet Silence speaks The Divine seems near

As I drove away from church I thought briefly about the faith of those deer How wonderful I mused to myself that even the deer know to worship baby Jesus on this night How great is it that creation itself pauses for adoration I thought of the animals present at that first Christmas (a donkey camels and sheep) and gave thanks for the ongoing piety of creatures big and small

And then it occurred to mehellip

The deer probably didnrsquot go to church to worship

I did

What was different about this night had nothing to do with Mother Nature or devout deer but me I then realized that I probably donrsquot see those deer on other nights because Irsquom not at church at midnight on other nights These ldquoChristmas deerrdquo are probably the same ones who leave tracks in the snow and mud on ordinary days too These adorable deer are probably the same pests whorsquore eating our arborvitae and

leaving landmines in our yard These Christmas deer are just deer

What makes Christmas Eve and Christmastime special is not that things are different or that God is different It is not special because God is closer to us than normal (God is never nearer or farther from us than God is right now) What makes it special is that we are different We choose to be different We choose to gather in a room with strangers turn the lights off light a candle and sing We scheme up ways to honor people we love with gifts We take time off of work We make time for people We party We pray We praise

God is not different on special days of the year We are On certain days ndash especially on holidays ndash we change We change our routine our mindset our patterns and in many cases our spiritual awareness In that transformation we notice that which is and always was in new and holy ways

And so the invitation comes to us not just on Christmas Day but every day will we make room for God today Will we be changed today Will we as the Apostle writes allow for the transformation of our minds even right now Even in the midst of work and crazy schedules and a life filled with the ordinary will we keep our eyes open to see God at work

Will we make time look for deer peacefully grazing in a vacant field today Will we light a candle today Will we seek God in our darkness today Will we endeavor to honor God and those we love today Will we count the stars today Will we catch a snowflake today Will we party today Will we pray today

There are no Christmas deer There are no Christmas stars There is no Christmas snow There are just deer the same stars and cold snow And all of it is singing Godrsquos praise and calling you to do the same Today

Merry Christmas

Spring 2019 will see the completion of the Martz-Kohl Obser-vatoryrsquos 10-year expansion project For readers and guests who have been fol-lowing the progress a brief history was recently prepared by long-time mem-ber Richard Carlson a founding mem-ber of the association who as a teenage astronomy enthusiast worked with Marshal Martz as far back as the 1950s Richard recalls Marshal Martz founder of the Martz observatory had a dream His wife Mary wanted to perpetuate his dream upon his passing not knowing what would become of her husbands ambition to construct an observatory occupied by one of the largest tele-scopes ever constructed by one man a 30-inch [mirror] Newtonian reflector Time waits for no one and Mary Martz could only wonder what would become of the observatory that had expanded beyond a simple cement block build-ing with a large telescopehellip becoming an educational facility both she and her husband Marshal had dreamed about During the early stages of change the observatory was still Marys home By this time more and more activity was taking place on location by the cor-poration she was responsible to have formed known as the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association Inc which was meeting in an addition attached to the observatory It wasnt until Mary be-queathed the observatory to the as-sociation following her move to a new residence that volunteer observatory members fully realized the potential the observatory had should improve-ments to the facility be made It began as a slow process to improve the facil-ity with fresh paint and minor repairs followed by the replacement of the outdated original telescope with a 24-

inch Cassegrain especially designed for scientific astro-imaging The true renaissance was seen by the general public to emerge with the addition of the Dr Ronald Kohl observatory com-bined with the Martz facility in 2014 which led the observatory to be totally upgraded Following three months of construction in 2018 the observatory reopened its doors to the public with-out fanfare in November The long-awaited effort to complete the revital-ization of the buildings structure had neared conclusionhellipsafety concerns were reduced and guests could once again be invited to the observatory for pleasurable educational experienceshellip including looking through the Kohl telescope exploring the roll-off roof [observing] area and seeing the 24-inch telescope under its dome On November 28th [2018] the association board approved Nu-Wood Creations to complete the inte-riors of the Welcome Center and the new additions added to the front of the observatory Regular activities will re-sume following construction in January when safety concerns will no longer be an issue for our guests The shutdown due to construction came between the Mars opposition that occurred at the end of July 2018 and the Doors Open Jamestown event on January 19th 2019 with a brief reopening in Novem-ber The observatory resumed its regu-lar activities on January 19th 2019 Please visit the Martz-Kohl website to see the calendar of events at httpmartzobservatoryorg observa-tory-calendar News from the Marshal Martz Observatory and the universe beyond our skies is brought to our readers every month by Hall amp Laury Optical at 707 Fairmount Ave Ste 10 Jamestown NY the quality local source for the latest in fashion and highest of quality in glasses and optical aids of every kind including repairs

As a child my active mind was full of images experienced while awake and asleep

Trying to paint those scenes onto a canvas always resulted in my being disappointed in the final image failing to capture the essence Crayons were first used with the results acceptable for a child under five The teachers and Nuns at St James School always criticized or tore up my attempts to portray on paper what my mind saw Except for Mrs Muzza of Kindergarten she tried to get me to conform to the directions but usually relented after I stubbornly continued to put wax to paper the way I wanted to Then I tried water colors but lost patience because there was no light in the renderings Next was chalk but without guidance I still failed to capture on the paper with the colors what my mind saw So I started writing Poems had no allure to me I wanted to paint a story with words to describe my visions and experiences I wanted to share all the discoveries made by reading massive quantity of books since age four I got permission to walk to Prendergast Library after school to read until father picked me up on his way home from work What a wonderful place a library is for a child with an acute imagination and a hunger to learn No one was there to tell me what I could not read Instead I was guided to the books they knew from their experience of seeing what I read and checked out every day

My attempts to write stories were either dismissed as fanciful meanderings or falsehoods by the staff of St James RC School The last story I wrote involved traveling to Jupiter to visit several of its moons The Nun told me that there were no such moons I never heard of

Io Europa Ganymede or Callisto F was my grade for making up such nonsense I did not write again until the end of Ninth Grade A fellow student knew how to type She transcribed my chicken scratching to a readable verse There were three chapters I got a B if I remember correctly but do not know what happened to my first short story

My handwriting wasis atrocious A teacher told me she believed it was because my mind was always ahead of my hand hence illegible script A High School Councilor put me into typing class Best thing that ever happened but I did not have a typewriter

Summer of 2012 a trip via ambulance to the Cardiac Intensive Care Ward changed a lot of things The next morning after a lot of tests a heart specialist asked me Is there any stress in your life unresolved My heart attack was induced by extreme anxiety A Shrink was located by a service attached to the Health Insurance I am blessed to have care of Colleens employer After the first few sessions she asked me who are these Stupid People that pop up in our sessions Next week I want you to write a short story about each one of them and also chapters of Nice People The next weeks session a folder with twenty-two chapters was handed to her You do not have time to read all these now do you She responded by asking how many there were and when I told her twenty-two she then asked if that meant eleven Stupid and eleven Nice No there are no nice people I remember in the slum apartments my father managed When she next instructed me to put the pages into the shredder my response Hell no I am going to write a book Almost five years later 87 chapters and counting I do not know when they will be made into a book 147 Chapters to date 12202019

Now I paint with the Microsoft Word(tm) to put images into my readers minds I enjoy making people laugh think or possibly inspire them to write also

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week

Phrases I donrsquot understand catch my attention As a writer I like words to have meanings

we all understand Words shouldnrsquot mean whatever we want them to mean When they do they are a barrier to communication

Take the phrase ldquoLove yourdquo If my wife says it and a waitress says it I hope they donrsquot mean the same thing When you truly do love someone how difficult is it to add the personal pronoun and actually declare a commitment ldquoLove yourdquo is much weaker than ldquoI love yourdquo

I know not everyone will agree and maybe I overreact so letrsquos move on to another phrase ldquofriends of animalsrdquo Who doesnrsquot think of themselves as a friend of animals Hunters are friends of animals and killing animals doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot love them We may not feel warm fuzzies about big brown eyes but we know that killing a deer helps not only the species but other species that share its habitat

Yes ldquoFriends of Animalsrdquo is the name of an organization that saved a mangy bear by taking it from its habitat curing it and prolonging its life in an artificial environment I donrsquot object to that but it does nothing for the mangy bear that walked through my yard several

times last year or any bear that caught the disease from it Mange is a symptom of overpopulation so this issue is bigger than a single animal Spending enormous amounts to save individual animals is not the best investment in the species Money goes further when it supports and sustains species not just individual animals

ldquoTrophy huntingrdquo can also be a confusing phrase People who use it arenrsquot often clear about what they mean Is a trophy hunter a hunter who shoots only the biggest most impressive specimen he can find Is a trophy hunter the one who aims to put animals in record books Or can we call any hunter who brings home the animal he pursues a trophy hunter I would say yes a trophy is the animal the hunter legally bags and tags regardless of its size

The questions ldquoWhat does he scorerdquo and ldquoWill he make the bookrdquo might imply that a big animal is worth more than a small animal or that the hunter who shoots a big animal is a better hunter than the one who shoots a small animal but it doesnrsquot

work that way

ldquoHow can a small animal be a trophyrdquo you

might ask Good question Irsquove shot many animals Regardless of size all are trophies in my eyes For

me every hunt is a trophy hunt

Sometimes a trophy is represented by a keepsake mdash a set of antlers big or small or a hide or a skull or just a photo I regret that I do not have photos of some of my trophies

Sometimes the trophy is in the intangibles It might be the length to which the hunter went to succeed

Sometimes adverse hunting conditions make an animal a trophy like the time I took a doe when the temperature was minus 26 degrees A doe mind you was the trophy

And thatrsquos the way it should be To a fox a mouse is his trophy To a coyote it may be a fawn or a woodchuck TV documentaries show us the hunts of lions and tigers and bears and commonly refer to their prey as trophies To be consistent whatever a rifleman a shotgunner an archer or even a trapper takes is also a trophy

Enter your buck in a record book if you like (and Irsquoll congratulate you) but letrsquos remember that record books represent only a fraction of the trophies hunters take When I shot my first buck a 5-point his antlers fell off Was he a trophy You bet he was

Irsquom in favor of record books but letrsquos not allow them to divide hunters or to define what a trophy is Every hunter pursues trophies and if so-called trophy hunting (whatever anyone means by that) comes to an end all hunting is not far behind

When ldquoThe Everyday Hunterrdquo isnrsquot hunting hersquos thinking about hunting talking about hunting dreaming about hunting writing about hunting or wishing he were hunting If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is contact him through his website wwwEverydayHuntercom He writes for top outdoor magazines and won the 2015 and 2018 national ldquoPinnacle Awardrdquo for outdoor writing

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

To learn more about Audubon and its many programs call (716) 569-2345 or visit AudubonCNCorg

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

A Third Option

Back in 2016 the summer Olympicsmdashthe 31st Olympiad of the Modern Eramdashbrought athletes together from 207

countries to compete in Rio de Janeiro Brazil The medal count added up to 307 gold 307 silver and 359 bronze medals for a grand total of 973 athletes on the podium out of the 11238 athletes competing

This year the 32nd Olympiad will create a similar spectacle for the whole world to watch in Tokyo Japan It will once again create a very strange paradox that almost nobody notices

Paradoxically everybody but the gold medal winners can be called losers The Olympic ideal however says that the very good athletesmdashsilver and bronze medal winnersmdashdo deserve credit beside the gold medal best

Joe Torre who managed the New York Yankees to four World Series championships and was the only major leaguer to tally up 2000 hits and 2000 wins as a manager saw the paradox too Joe once told a sports reporter ldquoIts nice to be in first place But just because youre not a winner doesnt mean youre a loserrdquo

Yet it seems we do disagree with Joe Consider some of our other favorite competitions like the Super Bowl the Wimbledon the Stanley Cup and even Joersquos World Series Nobody ever got a silver or bronze medal for losing those We love winners and losers and we love it when the winners take all

And thatrsquos a problem

This week the Jamestown Gazettersquos guest contributor Joni Blackman brings us an in-depth conversation with another winner local attorney

Eddie Sundquist who was just sworn in as the next mayor of Jamestown New York

Mayor Sundquistrsquos success in the recent election however will not guarantee his success as a mayor nor would it for any other winner Success depends on whether a politician or citizen treats an election like the Olympics or like the Superbowl

The Superbowl model of politics says winner takes all in power decision making and goal setting Losers get nothing But usually in American politics at all levels the winner rarely wins by a landslide Nearly as many people voted for the loser And thatrsquos a silver medal

Winner takes all may be one of the worst of all models for politics It risks granting power to a winner to ignore even dominate the second largest part of the population

The Olympic model of politics on the other hand says that second best is nearly as good as the best when all the votes are counted and should not be discounted for losing

Winner-takes-all politics urges voters in the winning party to assume the losers are all wrong ignorant or misinformed and deserve no role in piloting the ship of state

Democracy is not that kind of sport We are all on the winnerrsquos team and the winner plays to win for us all

Thatrsquos the third option beyond winners and losers

Enjoy the read

Christmas Deer

As I left church on Christmas Eve I noticed five deer grazing through our ldquoback fortyrdquo I typically see these deer on Christmas Eve (technically Christmas Day) I havenrsquot seen them on any other night I call them Christmas deer I look for them on Christmas they rarely disappoint

This year as I watched them peacefully make themselves at home at St John there was something holy about the moment See at 1200AM on Christmas Day things feel different at St John In fact things feel different in Williamsville The world seems different Stars shine brighter Life is calmer Individual snowflakes seem precious - each in their own way The world is quiet Silence speaks The Divine seems near

As I drove away from church I thought briefly about the faith of those deer How wonderful I mused to myself that even the deer know to worship baby Jesus on this night How great is it that creation itself pauses for adoration I thought of the animals present at that first Christmas (a donkey camels and sheep) and gave thanks for the ongoing piety of creatures big and small

And then it occurred to mehellip

The deer probably didnrsquot go to church to worship

I did

What was different about this night had nothing to do with Mother Nature or devout deer but me I then realized that I probably donrsquot see those deer on other nights because Irsquom not at church at midnight on other nights These ldquoChristmas deerrdquo are probably the same ones who leave tracks in the snow and mud on ordinary days too These adorable deer are probably the same pests whorsquore eating our arborvitae and

leaving landmines in our yard These Christmas deer are just deer

What makes Christmas Eve and Christmastime special is not that things are different or that God is different It is not special because God is closer to us than normal (God is never nearer or farther from us than God is right now) What makes it special is that we are different We choose to be different We choose to gather in a room with strangers turn the lights off light a candle and sing We scheme up ways to honor people we love with gifts We take time off of work We make time for people We party We pray We praise

God is not different on special days of the year We are On certain days ndash especially on holidays ndash we change We change our routine our mindset our patterns and in many cases our spiritual awareness In that transformation we notice that which is and always was in new and holy ways

And so the invitation comes to us not just on Christmas Day but every day will we make room for God today Will we be changed today Will we as the Apostle writes allow for the transformation of our minds even right now Even in the midst of work and crazy schedules and a life filled with the ordinary will we keep our eyes open to see God at work

Will we make time look for deer peacefully grazing in a vacant field today Will we light a candle today Will we seek God in our darkness today Will we endeavor to honor God and those we love today Will we count the stars today Will we catch a snowflake today Will we party today Will we pray today

There are no Christmas deer There are no Christmas stars There is no Christmas snow There are just deer the same stars and cold snow And all of it is singing Godrsquos praise and calling you to do the same Today

Merry Christmas

OBITUARIES

When someone you love becomes a memory

that memory becomes a treasure

Spring 2019 will see the completion of the Martz-Kohl Obser-vatoryrsquos 10-year expansion project For readers and guests who have been fol-lowing the progress a brief history was recently prepared by long-time mem-ber Richard Carlson a founding mem-ber of the association who as a teenage astronomy enthusiast worked with Marshal Martz as far back as the 1950s Richard recalls Marshal Martz founder of the Martz observatory had a dream His wife Mary wanted to perpetuate his dream upon his passing not knowing what would become of her husbands ambition to construct an observatory occupied by one of the largest tele-scopes ever constructed by one man a 30-inch [mirror] Newtonian reflector Time waits for no one and Mary Martz could only wonder what would become of the observatory that had expanded beyond a simple cement block build-ing with a large telescopehellip becoming an educational facility both she and her husband Marshal had dreamed about During the early stages of change the observatory was still Marys home By this time more and more activity was taking place on location by the cor-poration she was responsible to have formed known as the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association Inc which was meeting in an addition attached to the observatory It wasnt until Mary be-queathed the observatory to the as-sociation following her move to a new residence that volunteer observatory members fully realized the potential the observatory had should improve-ments to the facility be made It began as a slow process to improve the facil-ity with fresh paint and minor repairs followed by the replacement of the outdated original telescope with a 24-

inch Cassegrain especially designed for scientific astro-imaging The true renaissance was seen by the general public to emerge with the addition of the Dr Ronald Kohl observatory com-bined with the Martz facility in 2014 which led the observatory to be totally upgraded Following three months of construction in 2018 the observatory reopened its doors to the public with-out fanfare in November The long-awaited effort to complete the revital-ization of the buildings structure had neared conclusionhellipsafety concerns were reduced and guests could once again be invited to the observatory for pleasurable educational experienceshellip including looking through the Kohl telescope exploring the roll-off roof [observing] area and seeing the 24-inch telescope under its dome On November 28th [2018] the association board approved Nu-Wood Creations to complete the inte-riors of the Welcome Center and the new additions added to the front of the observatory Regular activities will re-sume following construction in January when safety concerns will no longer be an issue for our guests The shutdown due to construction came between the Mars opposition that occurred at the end of July 2018 and the Doors Open Jamestown event on January 19th 2019 with a brief reopening in Novem-ber The observatory resumed its regu-lar activities on January 19th 2019 Please visit the Martz-Kohl website to see the calendar of events at httpmartzobservatoryorg observa-tory-calendar News from the Marshal Martz Observatory and the universe beyond our skies is brought to our readers every month by Hall amp Laury Optical at 707 Fairmount Ave Ste 10 Jamestown NY the quality local source for the latest in fashion and highest of quality in glasses and optical aids of every kind including repairs

Spring 2019 Sees Completion

As a child my active mind was full of images experienced while awake and asleep

Trying to paint those scenes onto a canvas always resulted in my being disappointed in the final image failing to capture the essence Crayons were first used with the results acceptable for a child under five The teachers and Nuns at St James School always criticized or tore up my attempts to portray on paper what my mind saw Except for Mrs Muzza of Kindergarten she tried to get me to conform to the directions but usually relented after I stubbornly continued to put wax to paper the way I wanted to Then I tried water colors but lost patience because there was no light in the renderings Next was chalk but without guidance I still failed to capture on the paper with the colors what my mind saw So I started writing Poems had no allure to me I wanted to paint a story with words to describe my visions and experiences I wanted to share all the discoveries made by reading massive quantity of books since age four I got permission to walk to Prendergast Library after school to read until father picked me up on his way home from work What a wonderful place a library is for a child with an acute imagination and a hunger to learn No one was there to tell me what I could not read Instead I was guided to the books they knew from their experience of seeing what I read and checked out every day

My attempts to write stories were either dismissed as fanciful meanderings or falsehoods by the staff of St James RC School The last story I wrote involved traveling to Jupiter to visit several of its moons The Nun told me that there were no such moons I never heard of

Io Europa Ganymede or Callisto F was my grade for making up such nonsense I did not write again until the end of Ninth Grade A fellow student knew how to type She transcribed my chicken scratching to a readable verse There were three chapters I got a B if I remember correctly but do not know what happened to my first short story

My handwriting wasis atrocious A teacher told me she believed it was because my mind was always ahead of my hand hence illegible script A High School Councilor put me into typing class Best thing that ever happened but I did not have a typewriter

Summer of 2012 a trip via ambulance to the Cardiac Intensive Care Ward changed a lot of things The next morning after a lot of tests a heart specialist asked me Is there any stress in your life unresolved My heart attack was induced by extreme anxiety A Shrink was located by a service attached to the Health Insurance I am blessed to have care of Colleens employer After the first few sessions she asked me who are these Stupid People that pop up in our sessions Next week I want you to write a short story about each one of them and also chapters of Nice People The next weeks session a folder with twenty-two chapters was handed to her You do not have time to read all these now do you She responded by asking how many there were and when I told her twenty-two she then asked if that meant eleven Stupid and eleven Nice No there are no nice people I remember in the slum apartments my father managed When she next instructed me to put the pages into the shredder my response Hell no I am going to write a book Almost five years later 87 chapters and counting I do not know when they will be made into a book 147 Chapters to date 12202019

Now I paint with the Microsoft Word(tm) to put images into my readers minds I enjoy making people laugh think or possibly inspire them to write also

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week

Phrases I donrsquot understand catch my attention As a writer I like words to have meanings

we all understand Words shouldnrsquot mean whatever we want them to mean When they do they are a barrier to communication

Take the phrase ldquoLove yourdquo If my wife says it and a waitress says it I hope they donrsquot mean the same thing When you truly do love someone how difficult is it to add the personal pronoun and actually declare a commitment ldquoLove yourdquo is much weaker than ldquoI love yourdquo

I know not everyone will agree and maybe I overreact so letrsquos move on to another phrase ldquofriends of animalsrdquo Who doesnrsquot think of themselves as a friend of animals Hunters are friends of animals and killing animals doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot love them We may not feel warm fuzzies about big brown eyes but we know that killing a deer helps not only the species but other species that share its habitat

Yes ldquoFriends of Animalsrdquo is the name of an organization that saved a mangy bear by taking it from its habitat curing it and prolonging its life in an artificial environment I donrsquot object to that but it does nothing for the mangy bear that walked through my yard several

times last year or any bear that caught the disease from it Mange is a symptom of overpopulation so this issue is bigger than a single animal Spending enormous amounts to save individual animals is not the best investment in the species Money goes further when it supports and sustains species not just individual animals

ldquoTrophy huntingrdquo can also be a confusing phrase People who use it arenrsquot often clear about what they mean Is a trophy hunter a hunter who shoots only the biggest most impressive specimen he can find Is a trophy hunter the one who aims to put animals in record books Or can we call any hunter who brings home the animal he pursues a trophy hunter I would say yes a trophy is the animal the hunter legally bags and tags regardless of its size

The questions ldquoWhat does he scorerdquo and ldquoWill he make the bookrdquo might imply that a big animal is worth more than a small animal or that the hunter who shoots a big animal is a better hunter than the one who shoots a small animal but it doesnrsquot

work that way

ldquoHow can a small animal be a trophyrdquo you

might ask Good question Irsquove shot many animals Regardless of size all are trophies in my eyes For

me every hunt is a trophy hunt

Sometimes a trophy is represented by a keepsake mdash a set of antlers big or small or a hide or a skull or just a photo I regret that I do not have photos of some of my trophies

Sometimes the trophy is in the intangibles It might be the length to which the hunter went to succeed

Sometimes adverse hunting conditions make an animal a trophy like the time I took a doe when the temperature was minus 26 degrees A doe mind you was the trophy

And thatrsquos the way it should be To a fox a mouse is his trophy To a coyote it may be a fawn or a woodchuck TV documentaries show us the hunts of lions and tigers and bears and commonly refer to their prey as trophies To be consistent whatever a rifleman a shotgunner an archer or even a trapper takes is also a trophy

Enter your buck in a record book if you like (and Irsquoll congratulate you) but letrsquos remember that record books represent only a fraction of the trophies hunters take When I shot my first buck a 5-point his antlers fell off Was he a trophy You bet he was

Irsquom in favor of record books but letrsquos not allow them to divide hunters or to define what a trophy is Every hunter pursues trophies and if so-called trophy hunting (whatever anyone means by that) comes to an end all hunting is not far behind

When ldquoThe Everyday Hunterrdquo isnrsquot hunting hersquos thinking about hunting talking about hunting dreaming about hunting writing about hunting or wishing he were hunting If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is contact him through his website wwwEverydayHuntercom He writes for top outdoor magazines and won the 2015 and 2018 national ldquoPinnacle Awardrdquo for outdoor writing

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

Christmas Deer

As I left church on Christmas Eve I noticed five deer grazing through our ldquoback fortyrdquo I typically see these deer on Christmas Eve (technically Christmas Day) I havenrsquot seen them on any other night I call them Christmas deer I look for them on Christmas they rarely disappoint

This year as I watched them peacefully make themselves at home at St John there was something holy about the moment See at 1200AM on Christmas Day things feel different at St John In fact things feel different in Williamsville The world seems different Stars shine brighter Life is calmer Individual snowflakes seem precious - each in their own way The world is quiet Silence speaks The Divine seems near

As I drove away from church I thought briefly about the faith of those deer How wonderful I mused to myself that even the deer know to worship baby Jesus on this night How great is it that creation itself pauses for adoration I thought of the animals present at that first Christmas (a donkey camels and sheep) and gave thanks for the ongoing piety of creatures big and small

And then it occurred to mehellip

The deer probably didnrsquot go to church to worship

I did

What was different about this night had nothing to do with Mother Nature or devout deer but me I then realized that I probably donrsquot see those deer on other nights because Irsquom not at church at midnight on other nights These ldquoChristmas deerrdquo are probably the same ones who leave tracks in the snow and mud on ordinary days too These adorable deer are probably the same pests whorsquore eating our arborvitae and

leaving landmines in our yard These Christmas deer are just deer

What makes Christmas Eve and Christmastime special is not that things are different or that God is different It is not special because God is closer to us than normal (God is never nearer or farther from us than God is right now) What makes it special is that we are different We choose to be different We choose to gather in a room with strangers turn the lights off light a candle and sing We scheme up ways to honor people we love with gifts We take time off of work We make time for people We party We pray We praise

God is not different on special days of the year We are On certain days ndash especially on holidays ndash we change We change our routine our mindset our patterns and in many cases our spiritual awareness In that transformation we notice that which is and always was in new and holy ways

And so the invitation comes to us not just on Christmas Day but every day will we make room for God today Will we be changed today Will we as the Apostle writes allow for the transformation of our minds even right now Even in the midst of work and crazy schedules and a life filled with the ordinary will we keep our eyes open to see God at work

Will we make time look for deer peacefully grazing in a vacant field today Will we light a candle today Will we seek God in our darkness today Will we endeavor to honor God and those we love today Will we count the stars today Will we catch a snowflake today Will we party today Will we pray today

There are no Christmas deer There are no Christmas stars There is no Christmas snow There are just deer the same stars and cold snow And all of it is singing Godrsquos praise and calling you to do the same Today

Merry Christmas

inch Cassegrain especially designed for scientific astro-imaging The true renaissance was seen by the general public to emerge with the addition of the Dr Ronald Kohl observatory com-bined with the Martz facility in 2014 which led the observatory to be totally upgraded Following three months of construction in 2018 the observatory reopened its doors to the public with-out fanfare in November The long-awaited effort to complete the revital-ization of the buildings structure had neared conclusionhellipsafety concerns were reduced and guests could once again be invited to the observatory for pleasurable educational experienceshellip including looking through the Kohl telescope exploring the roll-off roof [observing] area and seeing the 24-inch telescope under its dome On November 28th [2018] the association board approved Nu-Wood Creations to complete the inte-riors of the Welcome Center and the new additions added to the front of the observatory Regular activities will re-sume following construction in January when safety concerns will no longer be an issue for our guests The shutdown due to construction came between the Mars opposition that occurred at the end of July 2018 and the Doors Open Jamestown event on January 19th 2019 with a brief reopening in Novem-ber The observatory resumed its regu-lar activities on January 19th 2019 Please visit the Martz-Kohl website to see the calendar of events at httpmartzobservatoryorg observa-tory-calendar News from the Marshal Martz Observatory and the universe beyond our skies is brought to our readers every month by Hall amp Laury Optical at 707 Fairmount Ave Ste 10 Jamestown NY the quality local source for the latest in fashion and highest of quality in glasses and optical aids of every kind including repairs

Spring 2019 Sees Completion

As a child my active mind was full of images experienced while awake and asleep

Trying to paint those scenes onto a canvas always resulted in my being disappointed in the final image failing to capture the essence Crayons were first used with the results acceptable for a child under five The teachers and Nuns at St James School always criticized or tore up my attempts to portray on paper what my mind saw Except for Mrs Muzza of Kindergarten she tried to get me to conform to the directions but usually relented after I stubbornly continued to put wax to paper the way I wanted to Then I tried water colors but lost patience because there was no light in the renderings Next was chalk but without guidance I still failed to capture on the paper with the colors what my mind saw So I started writing Poems had no allure to me I wanted to paint a story with words to describe my visions and experiences I wanted to share all the discoveries made by reading massive quantity of books since age four I got permission to walk to Prendergast Library after school to read until father picked me up on his way home from work What a wonderful place a library is for a child with an acute imagination and a hunger to learn No one was there to tell me what I could not read Instead I was guided to the books they knew from their experience of seeing what I read and checked out every day

My attempts to write stories were either dismissed as fanciful meanderings or falsehoods by the staff of St James RC School The last story I wrote involved traveling to Jupiter to visit several of its moons The Nun told me that there were no such moons I never heard of

Io Europa Ganymede or Callisto F was my grade for making up such nonsense I did not write again until the end of Ninth Grade A fellow student knew how to type She transcribed my chicken scratching to a readable verse There were three chapters I got a B if I remember correctly but do not know what happened to my first short story

My handwriting wasis atrocious A teacher told me she believed it was because my mind was always ahead of my hand hence illegible script A High School Councilor put me into typing class Best thing that ever happened but I did not have a typewriter

Summer of 2012 a trip via ambulance to the Cardiac Intensive Care Ward changed a lot of things The next morning after a lot of tests a heart specialist asked me Is there any stress in your life unresolved My heart attack was induced by extreme anxiety A Shrink was located by a service attached to the Health Insurance I am blessed to have care of Colleens employer After the first few sessions she asked me who are these Stupid People that pop up in our sessions Next week I want you to write a short story about each one of them and also chapters of Nice People The next weeks session a folder with twenty-two chapters was handed to her You do not have time to read all these now do you She responded by asking how many there were and when I told her twenty-two she then asked if that meant eleven Stupid and eleven Nice No there are no nice people I remember in the slum apartments my father managed When she next instructed me to put the pages into the shredder my response Hell no I am going to write a book Almost five years later 87 chapters and counting I do not know when they will be made into a book 147 Chapters to date 12202019

Now I paint with the Microsoft Word(tm) to put images into my readers minds I enjoy making people laugh think or possibly inspire them to write also

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week

Phrases I donrsquot understand catch my attention As a writer I like words to have meanings

we all understand Words shouldnrsquot mean whatever we want them to mean When they do they are a barrier to communication

Take the phrase ldquoLove yourdquo If my wife says it and a waitress says it I hope they donrsquot mean the same thing When you truly do love someone how difficult is it to add the personal pronoun and actually declare a commitment ldquoLove yourdquo is much weaker than ldquoI love yourdquo

I know not everyone will agree and maybe I overreact so letrsquos move on to another phrase ldquofriends of animalsrdquo Who doesnrsquot think of themselves as a friend of animals Hunters are friends of animals and killing animals doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot love them We may not feel warm fuzzies about big brown eyes but we know that killing a deer helps not only the species but other species that share its habitat

Yes ldquoFriends of Animalsrdquo is the name of an organization that saved a mangy bear by taking it from its habitat curing it and prolonging its life in an artificial environment I donrsquot object to that but it does nothing for the mangy bear that walked through my yard several

times last year or any bear that caught the disease from it Mange is a symptom of overpopulation so this issue is bigger than a single animal Spending enormous amounts to save individual animals is not the best investment in the species Money goes further when it supports and sustains species not just individual animals

ldquoTrophy huntingrdquo can also be a confusing phrase People who use it arenrsquot often clear about what they mean Is a trophy hunter a hunter who shoots only the biggest most impressive specimen he can find Is a trophy hunter the one who aims to put animals in record books Or can we call any hunter who brings home the animal he pursues a trophy hunter I would say yes a trophy is the animal the hunter legally bags and tags regardless of its size

The questions ldquoWhat does he scorerdquo and ldquoWill he make the bookrdquo might imply that a big animal is worth more than a small animal or that the hunter who shoots a big animal is a better hunter than the one who shoots a small animal but it doesnrsquot

work that way

ldquoHow can a small animal be a trophyrdquo you

might ask Good question Irsquove shot many animals Regardless of size all are trophies in my eyes For

me every hunt is a trophy hunt

Sometimes a trophy is represented by a keepsake mdash a set of antlers big or small or a hide or a skull or just a photo I regret that I do not have photos of some of my trophies

Sometimes the trophy is in the intangibles It might be the length to which the hunter went to succeed

Sometimes adverse hunting conditions make an animal a trophy like the time I took a doe when the temperature was minus 26 degrees A doe mind you was the trophy

And thatrsquos the way it should be To a fox a mouse is his trophy To a coyote it may be a fawn or a woodchuck TV documentaries show us the hunts of lions and tigers and bears and commonly refer to their prey as trophies To be consistent whatever a rifleman a shotgunner an archer or even a trapper takes is also a trophy

Enter your buck in a record book if you like (and Irsquoll congratulate you) but letrsquos remember that record books represent only a fraction of the trophies hunters take When I shot my first buck a 5-point his antlers fell off Was he a trophy You bet he was

Irsquom in favor of record books but letrsquos not allow them to divide hunters or to define what a trophy is Every hunter pursues trophies and if so-called trophy hunting (whatever anyone means by that) comes to an end all hunting is not far behind

When ldquoThe Everyday Hunterrdquo isnrsquot hunting hersquos thinking about hunting talking about hunting dreaming about hunting writing about hunting or wishing he were hunting If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is contact him through his website wwwEverydayHuntercom He writes for top outdoor magazines and won the 2015 and 2018 national ldquoPinnacle Awardrdquo for outdoor writing

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

Spring 2019 will see the completion of the Martz-Kohl Obser-vatoryrsquos 10-year expansion project For readers and guests who have been fol-lowing the progress a brief history was recently prepared by long-time mem-ber Richard Carlson a founding mem-ber of the association who as a teenage astronomy enthusiast worked with Marshal Martz as far back as the 1950s Richard recalls Marshal Martz founder of the Martz observatory had a dream His wife Mary wanted to perpetuate his dream upon his passing not knowing what would become of her husbands ambition to construct an observatory occupied by one of the largest tele-scopes ever constructed by one man a 30-inch [mirror] Newtonian reflector Time waits for no one and Mary Martz could only wonder what would become of the observatory that had expanded beyond a simple cement block build-ing with a large telescopehellip becoming an educational facility both she and her husband Marshal had dreamed about During the early stages of change the observatory was still Marys home By this time more and more activity was taking place on location by the cor-poration she was responsible to have formed known as the Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association Inc which was meeting in an addition attached to the observatory It wasnt until Mary be-queathed the observatory to the as-sociation following her move to a new residence that volunteer observatory members fully realized the potential the observatory had should improve-ments to the facility be made It began as a slow process to improve the facil-ity with fresh paint and minor repairs followed by the replacement of the outdated original telescope with a 24-

inch Cassegrain especially designed for scientific astro-imaging The true renaissance was seen by the general public to emerge with the addition of the Dr Ronald Kohl observatory com-bined with the Martz facility in 2014 which led the observatory to be totally upgraded Following three months of construction in 2018 the observatory reopened its doors to the public with-out fanfare in November The long-awaited effort to complete the revital-ization of the buildings structure had neared conclusionhellipsafety concerns were reduced and guests could once again be invited to the observatory for pleasurable educational experienceshellip including looking through the Kohl telescope exploring the roll-off roof [observing] area and seeing the 24-inch telescope under its dome On November 28th [2018] the association board approved Nu-Wood Creations to complete the inte-riors of the Welcome Center and the new additions added to the front of the observatory Regular activities will re-sume following construction in January when safety concerns will no longer be an issue for our guests The shutdown due to construction came between the Mars opposition that occurred at the end of July 2018 and the Doors Open Jamestown event on January 19th 2019 with a brief reopening in Novem-ber The observatory resumed its regu-lar activities on January 19th 2019 Please visit the Martz-Kohl website to see the calendar of events at httpmartzobservatoryorg observa-tory-calendar News from the Marshal Martz Observatory and the universe beyond our skies is brought to our readers every month by Hall amp Laury Optical at 707 Fairmount Ave Ste 10 Jamestown NY the quality local source for the latest in fashion and highest of quality in glasses and optical aids of every kind including repairs

Spring 2019 Sees Completion

As a child my active mind was full of images experienced while awake and asleep

Trying to paint those scenes onto a canvas always resulted in my being disappointed in the final image failing to capture the essence Crayons were first used with the results acceptable for a child under five The teachers and Nuns at St James School always criticized or tore up my attempts to portray on paper what my mind saw Except for Mrs Muzza of Kindergarten she tried to get me to conform to the directions but usually relented after I stubbornly continued to put wax to paper the way I wanted to Then I tried water colors but lost patience because there was no light in the renderings Next was chalk but without guidance I still failed to capture on the paper with the colors what my mind saw So I started writing Poems had no allure to me I wanted to paint a story with words to describe my visions and experiences I wanted to share all the discoveries made by reading massive quantity of books since age four I got permission to walk to Prendergast Library after school to read until father picked me up on his way home from work What a wonderful place a library is for a child with an acute imagination and a hunger to learn No one was there to tell me what I could not read Instead I was guided to the books they knew from their experience of seeing what I read and checked out every day

My attempts to write stories were either dismissed as fanciful meanderings or falsehoods by the staff of St James RC School The last story I wrote involved traveling to Jupiter to visit several of its moons The Nun told me that there were no such moons I never heard of

Io Europa Ganymede or Callisto F was my grade for making up such nonsense I did not write again until the end of Ninth Grade A fellow student knew how to type She transcribed my chicken scratching to a readable verse There were three chapters I got a B if I remember correctly but do not know what happened to my first short story

My handwriting wasis atrocious A teacher told me she believed it was because my mind was always ahead of my hand hence illegible script A High School Councilor put me into typing class Best thing that ever happened but I did not have a typewriter

Summer of 2012 a trip via ambulance to the Cardiac Intensive Care Ward changed a lot of things The next morning after a lot of tests a heart specialist asked me Is there any stress in your life unresolved My heart attack was induced by extreme anxiety A Shrink was located by a service attached to the Health Insurance I am blessed to have care of Colleens employer After the first few sessions she asked me who are these Stupid People that pop up in our sessions Next week I want you to write a short story about each one of them and also chapters of Nice People The next weeks session a folder with twenty-two chapters was handed to her You do not have time to read all these now do you She responded by asking how many there were and when I told her twenty-two she then asked if that meant eleven Stupid and eleven Nice No there are no nice people I remember in the slum apartments my father managed When she next instructed me to put the pages into the shredder my response Hell no I am going to write a book Almost five years later 87 chapters and counting I do not know when they will be made into a book 147 Chapters to date 12202019

Now I paint with the Microsoft Word(tm) to put images into my readers minds I enjoy making people laugh think or possibly inspire them to write also

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week

Phrases I donrsquot understand catch my attention As a writer I like words to have meanings

we all understand Words shouldnrsquot mean whatever we want them to mean When they do they are a barrier to communication

Take the phrase ldquoLove yourdquo If my wife says it and a waitress says it I hope they donrsquot mean the same thing When you truly do love someone how difficult is it to add the personal pronoun and actually declare a commitment ldquoLove yourdquo is much weaker than ldquoI love yourdquo

I know not everyone will agree and maybe I overreact so letrsquos move on to another phrase ldquofriends of animalsrdquo Who doesnrsquot think of themselves as a friend of animals Hunters are friends of animals and killing animals doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot love them We may not feel warm fuzzies about big brown eyes but we know that killing a deer helps not only the species but other species that share its habitat

Yes ldquoFriends of Animalsrdquo is the name of an organization that saved a mangy bear by taking it from its habitat curing it and prolonging its life in an artificial environment I donrsquot object to that but it does nothing for the mangy bear that walked through my yard several

times last year or any bear that caught the disease from it Mange is a symptom of overpopulation so this issue is bigger than a single animal Spending enormous amounts to save individual animals is not the best investment in the species Money goes further when it supports and sustains species not just individual animals

ldquoTrophy huntingrdquo can also be a confusing phrase People who use it arenrsquot often clear about what they mean Is a trophy hunter a hunter who shoots only the biggest most impressive specimen he can find Is a trophy hunter the one who aims to put animals in record books Or can we call any hunter who brings home the animal he pursues a trophy hunter I would say yes a trophy is the animal the hunter legally bags and tags regardless of its size

The questions ldquoWhat does he scorerdquo and ldquoWill he make the bookrdquo might imply that a big animal is worth more than a small animal or that the hunter who shoots a big animal is a better hunter than the one who shoots a small animal but it doesnrsquot

work that way

ldquoHow can a small animal be a trophyrdquo you

might ask Good question Irsquove shot many animals Regardless of size all are trophies in my eyes For

me every hunt is a trophy hunt

Sometimes a trophy is represented by a keepsake mdash a set of antlers big or small or a hide or a skull or just a photo I regret that I do not have photos of some of my trophies

Sometimes the trophy is in the intangibles It might be the length to which the hunter went to succeed

Sometimes adverse hunting conditions make an animal a trophy like the time I took a doe when the temperature was minus 26 degrees A doe mind you was the trophy

And thatrsquos the way it should be To a fox a mouse is his trophy To a coyote it may be a fawn or a woodchuck TV documentaries show us the hunts of lions and tigers and bears and commonly refer to their prey as trophies To be consistent whatever a rifleman a shotgunner an archer or even a trapper takes is also a trophy

Enter your buck in a record book if you like (and Irsquoll congratulate you) but letrsquos remember that record books represent only a fraction of the trophies hunters take When I shot my first buck a 5-point his antlers fell off Was he a trophy You bet he was

Irsquom in favor of record books but letrsquos not allow them to divide hunters or to define what a trophy is Every hunter pursues trophies and if so-called trophy hunting (whatever anyone means by that) comes to an end all hunting is not far behind

When ldquoThe Everyday Hunterrdquo isnrsquot hunting hersquos thinking about hunting talking about hunting dreaming about hunting writing about hunting or wishing he were hunting If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is contact him through his website wwwEverydayHuntercom He writes for top outdoor magazines and won the 2015 and 2018 national ldquoPinnacle Awardrdquo for outdoor writing

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week

Phrases I donrsquot understand catch my attention As a writer I like words to have meanings

we all understand Words shouldnrsquot mean whatever we want them to mean When they do they are a barrier to communication

Take the phrase ldquoLove yourdquo If my wife says it and a waitress says it I hope they donrsquot mean the same thing When you truly do love someone how difficult is it to add the personal pronoun and actually declare a commitment ldquoLove yourdquo is much weaker than ldquoI love yourdquo

I know not everyone will agree and maybe I overreact so letrsquos move on to another phrase ldquofriends of animalsrdquo Who doesnrsquot think of themselves as a friend of animals Hunters are friends of animals and killing animals doesnrsquot mean we donrsquot love them We may not feel warm fuzzies about big brown eyes but we know that killing a deer helps not only the species but other species that share its habitat

Yes ldquoFriends of Animalsrdquo is the name of an organization that saved a mangy bear by taking it from its habitat curing it and prolonging its life in an artificial environment I donrsquot object to that but it does nothing for the mangy bear that walked through my yard several

times last year or any bear that caught the disease from it Mange is a symptom of overpopulation so this issue is bigger than a single animal Spending enormous amounts to save individual animals is not the best investment in the species Money goes further when it supports and sustains species not just individual animals

ldquoTrophy huntingrdquo can also be a confusing phrase People who use it arenrsquot often clear about what they mean Is a trophy hunter a hunter who shoots only the biggest most impressive specimen he can find Is a trophy hunter the one who aims to put animals in record books Or can we call any hunter who brings home the animal he pursues a trophy hunter I would say yes a trophy is the animal the hunter legally bags and tags regardless of its size

The questions ldquoWhat does he scorerdquo and ldquoWill he make the bookrdquo might imply that a big animal is worth more than a small animal or that the hunter who shoots a big animal is a better hunter than the one who shoots a small animal but it doesnrsquot

work that way

ldquoHow can a small animal be a trophyrdquo you

might ask Good question Irsquove shot many animals Regardless of size all are trophies in my eyes For

me every hunt is a trophy hunt

Sometimes a trophy is represented by a keepsake mdash a set of antlers big or small or a hide or a skull or just a photo I regret that I do not have photos of some of my trophies

Sometimes the trophy is in the intangibles It might be the length to which the hunter went to succeed

Sometimes adverse hunting conditions make an animal a trophy like the time I took a doe when the temperature was minus 26 degrees A doe mind you was the trophy

And thatrsquos the way it should be To a fox a mouse is his trophy To a coyote it may be a fawn or a woodchuck TV documentaries show us the hunts of lions and tigers and bears and commonly refer to their prey as trophies To be consistent whatever a rifleman a shotgunner an archer or even a trapper takes is also a trophy

Enter your buck in a record book if you like (and Irsquoll congratulate you) but letrsquos remember that record books represent only a fraction of the trophies hunters take When I shot my first buck a 5-point his antlers fell off Was he a trophy You bet he was

Irsquom in favor of record books but letrsquos not allow them to divide hunters or to define what a trophy is Every hunter pursues trophies and if so-called trophy hunting (whatever anyone means by that) comes to an end all hunting is not far behind

When ldquoThe Everyday Hunterrdquo isnrsquot hunting hersquos thinking about hunting talking about hunting dreaming about hunting writing about hunting or wishing he were hunting If you want to tell Steve exactly where your favorite hunting spot is contact him through his website wwwEverydayHuntercom He writes for top outdoor magazines and won the 2015 and 2018 national ldquoPinnacle Awardrdquo for outdoor writing

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

Lots of different people are investing their personal capital in this process We all need to embrace this change and throw away all that is negative We all need to buy in to this process for the betterment of the Cityrdquo The transition team has given Sundquist a diverse slate of names It includes people from all walks of life ages and backgrounds They will fill the commissions boards and department head openings in the new administration

When asked about the possible issues with a Republican City Council and a Democratic Mayoral office Benson said ldquowe are all working for a better Jamestown My hope is the politics wonrsquot matter There isnrsquot room for a divide We need open communication and to build trustrdquo

The First 100 Days

When asked what he plans for the first 100 days benchmark Sundquist answered ldquoNothing Meaning I am listening to the City employees that know what works and have suggestions for improvements I am working on understanding the processes then I will be able to see where we can achieve efficiencies to better serve the residents of Jamestownrdquo Sundquist loves finding new ways to do things that improve the procedures and the outcome He said ldquoI want to change the way the City worksrdquo To do that he will be talking with City employees residents and tourists to find out what they think about the City

Mayor Sundquist sees his management style as that of a train conductor ldquoI see myself guiding and coordinating the very capable department heads and employees We are a team I encourage the City employees and managers to openly communicate with me and between themselves to make the City strongerrdquo

Listening First Actions Second

The four pre-inaugural public sessions were well attended The four sessions drew approximately 250 attendees that gave many suggestions and raised good questions The Cityrsquos drug problems housing needs and tax burden were

main topics of discussion Mayor Sundquist believes strengthening the relationship between the community and the safety officers fire and police during both working and non-working hours will help curb the safety issues Affordable housing is a great need in the city along with dealing with landlords abandoned properties lead and safe housing Mayor Sundquist is looking at creating a housing advisory committee comprised of experts engaged in solving the many issues connected to the housing puzzle By pooling knowledge building partnerships and collaboration he hopes to improve the housing issue The heavy tax burden is not unique to Jamestown Mayor Sundquist is looking at tax and fee models used by other New York State cities along with consulting with local experts to find a better way for Jamestownrsquos landowners

Jamestown is a City of Innovation

Mayor Sundquist is excited about the positive culture shift he is seeing in

Jamestown He wants to work with the City employees to set the vision for the City He sees Jamestown on the cusp of being a City of innovation ldquoThere are goldmines of opportunity

in Jamestown We will test ideas if some fail that is OK We still learn how to make

it better We want to build on the relationship between technology and our everyday lives to make

things more efficient and productive For example a small thing such as putting sensors in trash bins that will send a message to the DPW workers that the bin is empty Then they can do something else instead of wasting time on an empty trash bin There are many ways we can embrace technology from trash bins to smarter LED lighting installationsrdquo

ldquoJamestown has seen a growth in remote workers employed by west coast companiesrdquo Sundquist added ldquothey are moving here because it is affordable I would like to build on thatrdquo One can tell he has many ideas It will be interesting to watch this young Mayorrsquos path unfold as he builds his administration and together they build Jamestownrsquos future

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is part of a wave of young people who are being elected to local political

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

office across the nation over the past few years While no two are alike they have a few things in common a natural ease with technology an appetite for collaboration and impatience with automatic partisanship They are ready and prepared to reshape their local governments With many current local elected officials in their 60s and 70s young people are eager to take on the responsibility of running our towns and cities

Jamestownrsquos new Mayor is cut from the same cloth Young people work in a very different way than older politicians They donrsquot want to wait for a year to go by before tackling challenges They want to try it now While jumping in can have unintended consequences Mayor Sundquist is very intent on listening to City employees and senior staff to make sure he makes sound decisions

Another trait is teamwork Young people approach a problem or task by forming a team of diverse talents to figure out a solution That works very well in government where public

input is a regular piece to solving most puzzles

Ambition bordering on overconfidence and a willingness to tackle the most difficult problems are common among young leaders polled by TIME magazine Svante Myrick the 30-year-old mayor of Ithaca NY says ldquoMillennials are more politically similar to their grandparents who fought World War II than their boomer parents ldquoFinancial adversity and scarcity and austerity and being shocked into a global awareness means that our generation is primed and prepared for greatnessrdquo

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

To learn more about Audubon and its many programs call (716) 569-2345 or visit AudubonCNCorg

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa

The three-story Nature Center building contains interactive displays a collection of live animals and the Blue Heron Gift Shop Building hours are Monday-Saturday 10 am-430 pm and Sundays 1-4 pm

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Here it is the New Year a time of resolutions and good intentions We are all going

to lose weight and organize our closets or maybe not A great way for family researchers to start out the year is to work on organizing our documents photos and other items that we have accumulated over time There is only one rule to organizing your research and that is that if works for you it is good We can all find articles or webinars on organization from the simplest to the ultra- complex but the bottom line is if you do not use it is no good at all Having said that I will offer a two-part article that encompasses both the paper and the computer records that we acquire

As I begin to prepare for the new year one of the first things that I do is to set up a research schedule for the coming year I assign each surname a month that I will focus my time looking at that specific surname As each month comes around I look at what I have on that family stacks of paper cryptic notes photos articles etc I use Family Tree Maker software so I also look at the Task list that is available for each surname This gives me a starting point for the month and allows me to set my goals However if you are really buried in documents and paper you may want to designate January as an overall organization month

So as you look through the stacks you have acquired I am sure that you will find some information on all of the surnames that you are working on This is the time to start setting up a general filing system using small banker boxes and hanging files I find that an Alphabetical system works best for me I start with the family surname and then create sub files within the larger file For now as you attempt to get a handle on the accumulated mountain of paper you can just drop any documents papers and lists into the correct section of the larger box They will then be there when you reach the month that was assigned to that surname

Once you have done the initial sorting you need to set up a more detailed system I keep a 3-ring

binder for each family To copy my system you will need 3-ring binders index sheets and page protectors Begin with printing or filling out a Family Tree (usually restricting it to 5 generations) a Family Group Sheet for each generation and a copy of the entire family history as it exists today Place your Family Tree and the Family History and at least one map of the area that your family comes from in the front of your notebook

You are now ready to move on to the generational divisions As I file the information I start with the furthest back generation Example I started with John William my g-g-grandfather and included his family group sheet and any documents that pertain to that generation Then I moved on to my great grandfather David and then my grandfather James Gordon and so forth Dividing the family by generations allows me to locate information and documents quickly It also is easy to see what I do not have and need to search for

It is now time to tackle the various documents lists and odd bits and pieces of paper that you have for this family Place the documents in the correct generation in the notebook Now tackle the lists and odd bits and pieces of paper As you sort through the ratty scraps of paper and lists and before you throw them out review them carefully adding any needed chores to the correct surname To Do List I find this last task to be essential as working from one centralized list for each family allows you to focus on what really needs done and reduces the chance of repeating research that was completed some time ago If you use a legal tablet for each family and tuck it in with the other papers and documents that you have for that family it will make it easier to locate when you work on that specific surname This is a skill that I have not mastered I somehow manage to make random notes on several families all on the same tablet Then I am doomed to read through all the strange notes that I have made and wonder what I intended to do with that specific information In January perhaps one of my resolutions will be to practice what I preach

A Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan recently partnered with Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) to create an artistic image to promote the nature program that serves the Western New YorkNorthwestern Pennsylvania region

Laura Wilderrsquos artwork for Audubon was funded by a generous donor who is both a member and supporter of ACNC as well as a long-time fan of Wilderrsquos work The image celebrates Audubonrsquos history and growth through a timeless design that is being used in its marketing and on items available for sale in its Blue Heron Gift Shop

After receiving her degree in art and spending several years as a graphic designer and commercial illustrator Wilder

discovered the designs and philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement Inspired she learned printmaking and submitted her vintage-style block prints to the Roycroft Renaissance Jury The jury certified her as a Roycroft Renaissance Artisan and soon elevated her to Master Artisan

Twenty years later the Rochester NY artist continues to make block prints and paintings inspired by the beauty in nature the Arts and Crafts Movement and the sweet simple things in life More of her artwork can be found at laurawildercom

Audubonrsquos Blue Heron Gift Shop is now stocked with a variety of items that feature the commissioned work Included are canvas tote bags magnets postcards prints and more All proceeds from sales of Laura Wilder art items go directly to support ACNC and its nature education programs that reach thousands of schoolchildren every year

Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown NY and Warren Pa
