celebrating local labor power - jamestowngazette.com · 8/31/2020 · engine—the most productive...

Labor Day weekend is much-anticipated. Many people look forward to Labor Day weekend because it offers one last extended break to enjoy summer weather. Though summer does not officially end until September is nearly over, for many people Labor Day, which is celebrated annually on the first Monday in September, marks the unofficial end of summer.

But Labor Day is more than just one final chance to embrace the relaxed vibe of summer and soak up some rays. In fact,

Labor Day boasts a unique history that's worth celebrating for a variety of reasons.

What is Labor Day?

The United States Department of Labor notes that Labor Day is a celebration

of American workers that dates back to the 19th century. The day is meant to commemorate the contributions workers in the United States have made to the nation, helping to make it one of the strongest and most prosperous countries in the world.

Who came up with the idea of Labor Day?

Despite the fact that municipal legislation surrounding Labor Day was initially introduced in the 1880s, debate remains as to just who should be credited with proposing a day to honor

Why Labor Day is Worth Celebrating

Celebrating Local Labor PowerLABOR DAY 2020

Labor Day celebrates American labor, the hard work of millions who built the wealthiest nation

in the world. But undeniably, the celebration may be harder this year for some people. Covid has stolen the jobs and livelihoods from millions. But wait!

Resilience!

“We have a national reputation for a fantastic workforce,” New York State Assemblyman Andy Goodell recently told the Jamestown Gazette.

“Companies recognize that we have a high-quality workforce that is reliable, efficient, works well together, and is well-educated.

Goodell refers to the unique local culture of labor and industry that have, for example, made one local employer—Cummins Engine—the most productive plant in their entire, worldwide system. “We have attracted many other industries from across the country because of our workforce. He credits the standards, the reliability, and the efficiency of local workers as ‘unmatched.’”

“The American ideal has always been realized by a very resilient work force,”

Tom Farrell reassures readers. Farrell is vice president of Infinity Resources, a local branch of the tri-state employment service, human resource, and business consulting corporation employing thousands. “You do your work every day and there is no limit to what you might achieve,” Farrell promises.

Employers reopening now or in the near future will experience an opportunity to bounce back quickly with a pool of instantly-employable, highly-trained workers.

In Memoriam

LOVE IS TAKING TIME TO REMEMBER

WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE BECOMES A MEMORY, THAT MEMORY BECOMES A TRE ASURE

OBITUARIES

"When someone you love becomes a memory,

that memory becomes a treasure."

Spring, 2019 will see the completion of the Martz-Kohl Obser-vatory’s 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 husband's 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 telescope… becoming an educational facility both she and her husband, Marshal, had dreamed about. During the early stages of change, the observatory was still Mary's 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 wasn't 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 building's structure had neared conclusion…safety concerns were reduced and guests could once again be invited to the observatory for pleasurable educational experiences… 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 http://martzobservatory.org/ observa-tory-calendar/.

What is hard labor?

For some people—it’s mostly kids and slobs I’m thinking about here—hard labor is simply picking up your socks.

A long time ago, though, hard labor was the work of a prisoner sentenced to years of turning big boulders into tiny gravel in the hot sun all day long with a 16-pound sledge hammer—even harder than picking up socks, right?

Right! Almost anything that looks and feels like work is called Labor. Hard or easy, some things just have to get done. That’s why when things go right, there’s a reward for your labor.

President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt put it like this:

“It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.”

So, if we get better things by our labor, no wonder we celebrate Labor Day. Maybe the words “Sentenced to hard labor” should be replaced by “Blessed with hard labor.”

For those of our readers who look to the ancient scriptures

for inspiration, they will be pleased to share these words with everyone and hear few objections. The Creator said, “You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.” That is a song of high praise for labor (Psalm 128:2).

And for those of us moderns who speak the language of the 21st Century, “it shall be well with you” often means money, income, capital. Labor and capital are inseparably mingled in today’s world as always.

So, to celebrate Labor Day 2020 is to also celebrate capital, the value and the wealth created in the United States by American laborers, building the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. But that is not a new idea.

Abraham Lincoln, a president who understood the value of labor and laborers, once said, “Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

That is why this week your Jamestown Gazette is inviting all of our readers to join us in the celebrating Labor Day by celebrating all of us who have been blessed, surely not sentenced, to hard labor.

That is also why Samuel Gompers, a man who started as a humble cigar-maker more than 140 years ago, founded the American Federation of Labor (AFL). He once said,

“Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation. The day is for everybody who works.”

The first Labor Day celebration was held publicly in 1882 as a parade planned by the Central Labor Union in New York, though the state of Oregon was the first to pass a law that made it a legal holiday in 1887. We now celebrate it on the first Monday every September in the United States, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, and the Virgin Islands. Canada also celebrates Labour Day (that’s how they spell it!) on the same day.

Unfortunately, in this year of worldwide pandemic, labor has been hard to keep, but—though slowly at first—it will become easier to find again.

So this year, go celebrate yourself ! Happy Labor Day.

And because it is never hard labor with a Jamestown Gazette in your hands, enjoy the read.

Contributing WriterRev. Dr. Scott D. Hannon

St. John Lutheran Church,

Amherst, NY

“MEAT AND KETCHUP!” my four-year-old son John yelled at me when I entered the house.

His face and hands were covered in ketchup. His clothes were too. He had a baby ‘spork’ in his right hand and he couldn’t have been prouder of himself.

“Meat and ketchup,” I replied. “Yum.”

“NO!” he shouted back. “MEAT AND KETCHUP.”

“Yea, Johnny, I heard you,” I offered. “Meat and ketchup. Good boy.”

With his ketchup covered fingers he grabbed my hand and led me to the table. He pointed to his plate, dug the spork in and ate a mouthful of ketchup.

“I’m eating ketchup,” he said.

He sure was. It wasn’t meat and ketchup. He was eating ketchup. He shoveled spork-ful after spork-ful of ketchup into his mouth. When the spork wasn’t cutting it he literally licked the plate clean.

As I watched my son, I couldn’t help but wonder why a person would ever do such a thing. What kind of person just eats a plate of ketchup? There’s no point. It’s not filling. It’s not nutritional. It’s sort of gross. Actually, it’s really gross. It might even be bad for you. And yet here was my son – my offspring, my pride, my joy – eating ketchup like a bowl of soup.

All of which, naturally, got me thinking about faith. I wondered in what ways we grownups do that same thing on a different level. How do we, as Jesus says, “eat the bread that leads to death?” How do

we settle for things that taste great, even if they aren’t filling? Do we proudly eat ketchup and miss the meat? Do we take the condiment without the meal? Do we settle for the sugar without the nutrition?

As I sat with those questions at our kitchen table with my son covered in ketchup, I came to realization that we do. Instead of meat and ketchupa lot of times we’re justeating ketchup. We settle for messages that are meaningless. We trust lies. We cling to tribal ideologies that are against our self-interests.

When bishops and church leaders lie and cover up abuse and we settle for their thin apologies without any recourse or action – we’re eating ketchup. When politicians abuse their power and serve themselves rather than their constituents and we still just vote the part line – we’re eating ketchup. When pastors promise us that enough faith will make us rich or tell us God just needed another angel and we buy it – we’re eating ketchup. When we ignore the obvious and cling to vain, contrived notions of humanity – we’re eating ketchup. When we value our own life and size others up based on how things look on social media – we’re eating ketchup.

It is time for us to put the meat back in the meal. God is calling for us to tackle tough subjects, to think critically, to open our minds, and, indeed, to open our lives. We are called to put the paper down and open our Bible, to turn off the TV and start to pray. We are invited to cross party lines, to tear down walls, to ask critical questions, and to speak truth to power. If we don’t this world and our lives will be as messy as my son eating ketchup.

In the Way,

PSDH

If you like to solve puzzles, you are in for a treat at the new Escape Rooms Jamestown, relocated to 100 E. Second St. at the corner of Second St. and Pine St. “Shocked and disheartened was how I felt when I knew I had to leave our Third St. location,” said Cathy Johnner, owner of Escape Rooms Jamestown. “COVID-19 shut us down on March 15 and I couldn’t find a way to keep the space without going into the red. Realtor Taylor Scott had a couple spots for me to look at and five seconds after seeing the new space, I knew I found the perfect place to relocate.”

The Escape Rooms Jamestown are located in the basement at 100 E. Second St. The four rooms are smaller, but there are larger rooms for other activities. There will be a vintage arcade room with arcade games from the 1950s through the 1970s. The other large space will be good for socially distanced events such as paint nights and other activities.

“The build out has been a challenge, but the landlord has been very helpful and let us use space in the building to store the room contents while we where building. The basement had an old floor safe in it and we have incorporated that into our new room, ‘Arthur Chrystal’s Last Will and Testament’ where players search for his will and whomever finds it, inherits everything,” said Ms. Johnner.

The corner is hopping this Labor day week

with Studio D’s food wagon,

ice cream at the Sprinkle Cone, and i n t e r e s t i n g shopping at

the Biodome. Throw an

escape in there too!

The pandemic guidelines limit four players to a room. The escapes are 45 minutes long. The cost is usually $25 per person, but for the opening week from September 2nd to the 9 th , the cost will be $15 per person. The hours are noon to 6 PM every day. Walk-ins are welcome and reservations can be made on the Facebook page, @escaperoomsJamestown, or the website, www.escaperoomsjamestown.com.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Chautauqua County announces its 2nd annual CASA’s for CASA playhouse raffle fundraiser. CASA of Chautauqua County has once again partnered with Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate to raise funds to provide children with a safe and permanent home.

On September 7, CASA will raffle a KidKraft Garden View playhouse built to inspire imaginative play in a beautiful house that is full of fun and excitement. This playhouse features exciting details like a working doorbell, phone with clicking buttons, a clock with moveable hands, a functioning mailbox and a bistro awning. Perfect for that special little one to enjoy for years to come.

“Last year was our inaugural CASA’s for CASA playhouse raffle and it was a huge success thanks to all of our sponsors and supporters! This year, we are so excited to bring it back and offer an adorable little playhouse that will be a perfect addition to any backyard play space,” says Kathy Park, executive director of CASA. “We have found that even through trying times, our wonderful supporters continue to give and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

“CASA of Chautauqua County plays such an integral role in ensuring abused and neglected children find a permanent home where they can thrive. For over 35 years, our family of agents have been finding the perfect homes for families right here in Chautauqua County,” says Stephen Holt, real estate broker of Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate and presenting sponsor. “I’m proud to support CASA while they advocate for children who are in search of a home where they can feel loved.”

Entries are $10 and available online at www.ChautauquaCASA.

com, at any Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate location and from any CASA board or staff member. Proceeds go towards crucial funding of the CASA program.

CASA of Chautauqua County provides a caring adult to advocate for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. Currently the program is reaching half of the children that would benefit from having a CASA volunteer. The specially trained volunteers help guide these children through the overburdened legal and child welfare systems, ensuring they don’t get overlooked, receive the services they need and ultimately, find placement in a safe and loving home.

Denise Jones has again been listed among the area’s most respected businesswomen.

Jones, The Resource Center’s chief executive officer, is ranked No. 22 on Buffalo Business First magazine’s 2020 list of the 150 most powerful women in Western New York. This marks the sixth straight year Jones has been ranked in the top 50 on the annual list of the most powerful businesswomen in the eight-county region. It also marks the second time this year she has been recognized by Business First: in February, the magazine ranked Jones No. 74 on its list of the 250 most influential people in Western New York.

The Power 150 Women list was compiled by Business First’s reporters and editors. Jones was the highest-ranked Chautauqua County businesswoman on the list.

TRC officials were pleased she again has been recognized by Business First.

“The board of directors congratulates Denise on her recognition by Business First as one of the 150 Most Powerful Women in Western New York,” said Patricia Perlee, board president. “Denise has led TRC through the tumultuous time of COVID-19 in a calm and thoughtful manner while

understanding the needs of staff, clients, residents, and families. This distinction by Business First is well earned. TRC is very fortunate to have Denise serve as our executive director.”

Jones has been with The Resource Center since 1990. She served as TRC’s associate executive director and chief operating officer for eight years before being named executive director and CEO in 2015.

The Resource Center operates three business lines. TRC’s core mission is to support people with disabilities and their families. The Resource Center also provides a variety of health-related services that can be utilized by anyone, regardless of whether they have a disability. TRC also performs subcontracting work for local businesses and the federal government at manufacturing facilities in Jamestown and Dunkirk.

Hello everyone. My name is Meg. I am a sweet, quiet girl who was brought to Paws as a stray.

I am extremely shy, but once I get to know you I enjoy giving affection and love. I will need a

According to owner Bruce Stanton, “Stella is a lot of things. Stella means star.

We want to be a shining star here in Lakewood. Laurie {Mrs. Stanton} and I love New Orleans and Charleston, S.C. We love the food, the music, the culture. We are drawn to restaurants with girl’s names.” The brand image for Stella is an innocent young woman’s face which makes one wonder “what’s her story?”

New Orleans is where Tennessee Williams wrote “A Streetcar Named Desire”. Stella Kowalski is the steady, emotional center of the play. We know her story, what’s this Stella’s story?

The full name of the venture is Stella, a kitchen and bar, located at 60 Chautauqua Ave., Lakewood, N.Y. When you enter Stella, you immediately feel like you are going to have a good experience. The Stanton’s years in the hospitality business and love of fine dining are evident in the clean, uncluttered yet whimsical décor. The main dining room is open, airy, and beautifully decorated. The large, attached porch is the busiest dining area. It gives one the feeling of dining on a New Orleans second floor porch complete with flowers and wrought iron.

Stella has a full bar offering southern inspired specialty drinks that compliment the casual fine dining menu. The menu is based on locally available fresh ingredients. Bruce said, “We make fresh ricotta every day. This morning Laurie was baking chocolate pies. Everything is made

in house. We are at a point now where we can offer nightly specials based on what is available locally this week.”When asked about the opening, he added, “It has been a rollercoaster, we were supposed to open in April but could not, then we opened 3 weeks ago with lots of trepidation. So far, it has been the best it can be. We are very surprised and blessed at the support the community has shown us.” Bruce and Laurie Stanton’s network of friends, colleagues and acquaintances has spread Stella’s opening across the region. “We have had guests from Chautauqua that knew us from there, we’ve had guests from Buffalo who heard about us from social media and decided to visit beautiful Chautauqua County. We are consistently serving 60 meals a night. We are ironing out the start up bumps right now and eventually we will be open longer dinner hours, adding breakfast and lunch time meeting options and limited catering.”

Decades of Tourism Promotion

Stanton said, “Laurie and I understand the importance of tourism in the region. We want to promote the Southern Tier’s activities, local businesses and new opportunities. New York State has so much to offer, no matter where you are. We have been in the tourism business for many years. I started in the restaurant business when I was 16 years old.” Bruce oversaw food service and hospitality at the Chautauqua Institution’s Athenaeum Hotel along with the hotel’s general manager’s responsibilities for 25 years, and

The Rev. Daniel K. Nagle will preach his final sermon as pastor of the Jamestown First Lutheran Church this coming Sunday, September 6 th at the 10 a.m. traditional worship service. Pastor Nagle is a son of the congregation and he was also ordained here at First Lutheran Church in June 1977. After ordination he became the pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Castleton-on-Hudson, New York until 1981. He then spent 2 years in the Army Reserves and 26 years as an active duty chaplain in the U.S. Army.

Pastor’s undergraduate studies were completed at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York and North Park College, Chicago, Illinois. Following college graduation, Nagle completed his seminary studies at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and as an Army chaplain, graduate studies in ethics from Duke University and in the strategic studies at the Army War College. His military service included duty in Korea and Germany as well as several locations in the United States. Following his graduate studies at Duke University, he served on the faculty of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Following Pastor Dan’s military career, he became pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in

Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania prior to being appointed as pastor of the Jamestown First Lutheran Church on April 10, 2011.

Pastor Dan’s family include his wife, Donna, a native of Lynn Massachusetts, and two daughtersIngrid (Rick) Kraft and Meredith (Steve) Toth, and grandchildren Gwyneth and Lukas Kraft, and Rowen and Linnea Toth.

The grateful congregation of First Lutheran Church has relished in the recounting of Pastor Nagle’s chaplain experiences and how he so skillfully connects them to the gospel in such a meaningful way. The congregation has grown both spiritually and numerically during his 9½ years of ministry and he and his family will be deeply missed. The public is welcome to attend this service on Sunday, September 6th .

There’s Still Time to Complete the Census

We will continue to beat this drum until the count is complete. Locally, there are still Census workers going door to door to reminder people to complete the 2020 Census. Their efforts were delayed by the Coronavirus shut down earlier this year. But they are out now and the field data

collection is set to run through the month of September.

You can also still complete the Census online at 2020census.gov. It takes just minutes and is safe and secure. Your answers to Census questions are always confidential.

We urge all residents to complete the Census, and all businesses to get involved by encouraging your employees, vendors, and contractors to complete the Census. It is a community effort that makes a genuine difference. Make sure you’re counted!

Visitors will find a sparkling clean facility, a new brand, and a fresh website when the Northwest Arena reopens for limited activities starting Wednesday, September 2.

"We cleaned 18-years' worth of accumulated wear-and-tear on a building that was open for 365 days per year," exclaimed Keith Martin. "It had never been done before!"

From March to July, a handful of staff thoroughly washed 480 sides of glass, sanitized 1,900 seats, power washed floors, and painted the rotunda and hallways along with locker rooms, walls around rink B, café, kitchen and Sully's Lounge. They sharpened more than 400 pairs of skates. And, they installed cameras on both rinks to capture live action during tournaments and games, providing streaming capability through LiveBarn, a subscription-based, on-demand video broadcast service.

Reopening protocols reflect New York State and the

Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines as well as recommendations for rinks provided by USA Hockey and U.S. Figure Skating. For the time being, groups and individuals may rent the main rink for low contact activities such as hockey clinics, drills and private figure skating.

Skate 'n Shoot times will be offered shortly after reopening, by reservation only, and Backyard Curling leagues will resume Monday, October 12th with registrations to be announced in September. The walking track, Weight Watchers meetings, public skating, and ice bumper cars will be on hold, as will the reopening of the café and lounge.

For information about ice rentals, email Craig Hinderleider, director of operations, or call the Northwest Arena at 716-484-2624 during new office hours between 10am and 4pm, Monday through Friday.

Northwest Arena Reopeningwith a Fresh New Look


10 August 31, 2020JAMESTOWN GAZETTEwww.JamestownGazette.com LABOR DAY 2020

Powerful Local Economy

The Jamestown Gazette is read in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties in New York, and Warren County, Pennsylvania. The economy, however, is not confined to borders. It is regional in nature, so the following statistics, though for Chautauqua County, generally reflect a wider reality.

Labor creates wealth. Chautauqua County alone accounted for more than $3.5 billion in consumer spending in 2019, according to Environmental Systems Research Institute.

The Chautauqua County economy tallied 61,609 workers employed in a wide range of businesses, industries, and agriculture in 2019. Nearly half of that number, 48.7 percent, worked in service industries, and wholesale/retrial accounted for more than 10 percent.

Labor Overcomes Difficulties

“We have some of the best workforces, I would say, anywhere in the country,” P. J.Wendell, Chautauqua County Executive explained. “It is the team approach that accomplishes things here.” That is especially reflected in a strong collaboration between labor and management.

Wendell cites major local industries dealing with the new, frequently changing protocols and issues around the Covid pandemic, for example. “Employees are doing the right things,” Wendell said, “wearing masks and social distancing. They are complying with every change that comes along.”

“The way it is being done,” Wendell added, “we have not heard any complaints from labor and we haven’t heard any issues from employers. Everyone is just working together to get the job done and

keep people employed.” That appears to be worth celebrating for Labor Day, 2020, Wendell agreed.

Organized Labor

Organized labor also plays a critical role locally in employee/employer collaboration to provide high-quality products and high-quality employment. For a list of local and regional organized labor offices and representatives, please see the list on this page.

Michael Haines, Organizer at IBEW Local 106 in Jamestown, sees the role of American labor as worth celebrating for Labor Day 2020. “We believe in the fundamental principle that every human being has a right to a job that provides them dignity,” Haines said. “Our strength is in our numbers and our pride comes from a hard day’s work well done.”

Agricultural Labor

The WNY/NW PA region is renowned for productive agriculture, with Chautauqua ranking near the top of New York States’ farm productivity. That remarkable economic power comes from less than three percent of the county’s employees. And they are nearly all multi-generational, family-owned farms.

The current population of Chautauqua County is approximately 130,000. Forty-five percent of that is rural, home to about 1,650 farms, #1 in the State for number of farms. That remarkable labor-force produces annual sales of livestock and produce topping $150 million, a remarkable labor product of such a small portion of the population.

“I am proud to be the ranking member of Agriculture in the New York State Senate,” George Borrello, representing District 57 since 2019, told the Gazette. “It is critical that people are able to get food that is safe, fresh, and local.”

“From a food security and an economic security standpoint,” Borrello explained, “we need to keep our family farms growing. It is not uncommon to find fourth and fifth generation farms, even as many as ninth generation families whose ancestors began farming in the early 1800s or before.”

“The labor represented by our family farmers makes them strong and contributing members of the community,” Borrello added. “Strong family farms give young people a good reason to stay in the area.” A stable, long-term labor force is critical to a local economy, and farm labor is a key to that factor across the region.

Local Labor’s Future

Planning for the future, according to Borrello, will guarantee that local labor will remain strong and resilient. “We set out to create the next generation of a qualified work force so that local businesses would not only survive but thrive,” Borrello said.

“We have done that in partnership with our schools, programs like BOCES, Dream It-Do It, and others. I am confident that despite all the adversity we face in Chautauqua County and the entire region, with our long history of a strong work force, this will be the place to be for manufacturing in the future.”

Celebrating Labor

The local workforce, whether laboring in factories or on farms, in offices or in front of a classroom, virtual or real, is strong and resilient, according to community, county, and state leaders. Though the worldwide pandemic has slowed and damaged much, local confidence appears high that celebrating Labor Day 2020 is a celebration of a powerful workforce that is poised for success and growth.

Stella’s is open Wednesday through Saturday for dinners, and Sunday for brunch. The restaurant does not offer takeout yet. “We want to get our table service perfect and then we will add takeout,” Bruce said.

The Menu

The menu offers a variety of seafood, fish, chicken, and beef. From homemade Crespelle Lasagna Bolognaise to New Bedford Sea Scallops over spaghetti squash with tangerine beurre blanc to a Bijou Filet Mignon. Soups and burgers are also on the menu. The appetizers and salads are fresh and will delight your sweet and savory taste buds. The prices are very reasonable. According to Bruce, the menu will be seasonal and

change as locally available produce is available.

Give the new Stella, a kitchen and bar, a try, I think you will be back frequently.

Reservations are requested and can be made on the Open Table app and by phoning (716) 526-1124. Information can be found on the Stella Facebook page @stellaakitchenandbarllc and the restaurant’s website, https://stellaakitchenandbar.wordpress.com/.

Labor Day (or Labour Day in Canada) was created by the labor movement to shine light on the achievements and contributions of workers. Without hardworking men and women, the economy would not thrive and the prosperity of a nation would be unlikely.

Like many other holidays, Labor Day's message may play second fiddle to the more widespread celebrations that take place. It's easy to think that Labor Day commemorates the unofficial end of summer rather than the North American worker, but those who want to celebrate more mindfully can consider these ideas.

• Research local industry and schedule a tour of a factory, farm or another place of business that ties into this industry.

• While many people are off on Labor Day, essential workers may not be. Bring lunch to a police station or firehouse, or simply thank workers you come across, such as grocery store employees, for doing their jobs.

• Active military who are deployed may be missing home, especially during national holidays. Send a care package to them that they can enjoy overseas.

• Purchase items made domestically to support national industry.

• Bosses can reach out to employees with words of praise and encouragement. Too often employees are told what they

need to improve rather than what they are doing right. A few words of gratitude can buoy spirits.

• Employers can start the three-day weekend early by enabling workers to leave a few hours early on the Friday preceding the holiday weekend.

• Organize a company-based competition, like a chili cook-off, pie-eating contest or video game competition. This can boost morale and strengthen connections among staff.

Labor Day is often dominated by backyard barbecues and trips to the beach. Those who want to be more in touch with the meaning behind the holiday can look for additional ways to celebrate it.

NY-The Robert H. Jackson Center will host its Fixed Star Gala on Thursday, September 10 at 6:45pm. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic safety restrictions, the Jackson Center is hosting its major fundraising event virtually in 2020. Registration for the event is free. “The Fixed Star Virtual Gala benefits the programs and initiatives we provide to our local, national, and international communities,” said Kristan McMahon, Robert H. Jackson Center president. “This is a fitting opportunity to reflect on the full measure of Justice Jackson’s influence from Chautauqua County lawyer to Chief U.S. prosecutor at the first Nuremberg trial in Germany and how that influence continues to shape and impact our world today.” The Robert H. Jackson Center is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that envisions a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness and justice prevail.

Benjamin Ferencz, Chief Prosecutor for the U.S. Army at the Einsatzgruppen trial in Nuremberg and subject of the Netflix documentary on his life, Prosecuting Evil, will open the event at 7:00 pm (EST) and is the Gala’s honoree. In his 100th year, Ferencz continues to advocate for "law, not war."

Joyce Sechler, Host Gala Committee Co-Chair, has a special connection to the work of Robert H. Jackson and the Jackson Center. She was

born in a Japanese internment camp after the U.S. Supreme Court decided Korematsu v. United States, which held that U.S. citizens of Japanese descent could lawfully be held in these camps. It was Justice Jackson who strongly dissented from the decision. Joyce said, “The emphasis on educating youth on these important points in our history and Jackson’s role in defending civil liberties plays a crucial role in ensuring history’s mistakes are not repeated.”

Leah Weinberg, Chair of the Robert H. Jackson Center Board of Directors who will co-host the gala live from the Jackson Center with McMahon, hopes the Gala will garner additional support for the Center’s free educational programs for all ages and provide more national and international awareness of the Center’s work. “We want to showcase the relevance of Jackson’s ideas and work to all generations,” she said. “Educating people on Jackson’s views concerning civil and human rights so they can help foster conversation and bring about real change is especially important in our current social and political climates.” The broad range of programs and initiatives the Center provides will be highlighted at the gala by special guests.

Graham’s Market, located at 104 Church Street, Sherman, NY, is a grocery store that was originally established in 1969 as a Quality Market, was later taken over by Jeff and Jody Mack in 2004, and closed in 2018 for personal reasons. The closure of the store created a “food desert” due to the fact that the closest grocery stores offering fresh produce were approximately ten miles from Sherman. The population of Sherman consists of a large contingent of senior citizens and young families, both of which have limited access to transportation and therefore have limited access to nutritional food choices with the absence of a local grocery store. Responding to this need, Mark Graham left his successful construction business of 30 years and pursued acquiring the closed grocery store, which took almost three years. Mr. Graham is continuing the family tradition bringing the recipes and history from his father and grandfather who had the original “Graham’s Market” and “Bill’s IGA” on Sherman’s Main Street.

The County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA), in collaboration with Five Star Bank and Southern Tier West, provided a financing package for the purchase and re-opening of this sole grocery store located in the Village of Sherman in late 2019, at which time Mr. Graham moved ahead with the project to purchase and renovate the facility as a local

grocery store. Chautauqua County Executive, PJ Wendel said, “By re-opening this grocery store, the Sherman community can enjoy fresh produce once again. I applaud all of the agencies involved in making this happen.”

“This is great news for the Sherman Community,” said Mark Geise, Deputy County Executive for Economic Development/Chief Executive Officer of the County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency. “I’m glad the CCIDA could provide its assistance in bringing this project to fruition, and I’m grateful to Five Star Bank and Southern Tier West for partnering with us.”

According to Colleen Meeder, Village of Sherman Mayor, “many residents requested that the Village takeaction to see that the grocery store is reopened. We committed extensive hours to supporting Mark Grahamin this endeavor, and though we are facing many challenges due to COVID at the moment, we are optimist that Graham’s Market will increase traffic in downtown Sherman. With the opening of Graham’s Market residents are overjoyed that they can now purchase healthy foods locally,” continued Mayor Meeder. The Sherman Chamber of Commerce President, Debra Sanders, also provided a letter in support of the project.

Any comments or questions regarding this announcement should be addressed to Deputy County Executive for Economic Development/CCIDA Chief Executive Officer, Mark Geise, at [email protected].

The pandemic has forced the cancellation of this year’s Mark Pacheco WOW Fund Lip Sync Battle fund-raiser, but area residents still have an opportunity to support the fund.

The sixth annual Lip Sync Battle had been scheduled to take place in August at the Celoron Legion. Because the popular event draws a standing-room-only audience of several hundred people, organizers decided to cancel this year’s contest to avoid the possibility of spreading the virus.

As a way to generate money to partially replace the revenues that will be lost by not having a Lip Sync Battle, there will be a drawing for a Samsung television. The TV was donated by ACME The Appliance Center of Jamestown.

“We are very thankful for The Resource Center and the positive impact they have on our community,” said Dan Hocking, who with his wife, Beth, owns ACME. “We are pleased to help in a small way with this 55-inch, high-definition TV donation to help raise money for the WOW

Fund. The Resource Center makes a difference in people’s lives on a daily basis, and we are happy to support their efforts.”

The Mark Pacheco WOW (Working on Wonders) Fund awards money to people with special needs so they can do things they may not otherwise be able to afford, such as attend a sporting event or a concert, or take a vacation. The fund is administered by Filling the Gap, Inc., which works with The Resource Center to support people with disabilities in Chautauqua County.

The fund was created in memory of Pacheco, an employee of The Resource Center who died in 2010 of injuries sustained in an altercation on a Jamestown street. Pacheco’s family and friends suggested the establishment of the WOW Fund as a tribute to him and to create something positive from his death.

The drawing for the TV will take place September 15. For information on how to enter the drawing, phone 661-1477. Proceeds will be directed to The Resource Center’s Mark Pacheco WOW Fund at the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation.

Chautauqua County Humane Society Pets of the Week


After my first deer successful deer season in 1967 I remember counting the

days until the 1968 season. By my count it was 351 days from the end of one season to the beginning of the next, and since 1968 was a Leap Year, I’d have to wait an extra day.

In those days the season opener seemed like it was an eternity away. Today I live on the border of New York and Pennsylvania, which enables me to hunt both states. Much has changed, including more seasons and more opportunities to get into the woods.

The passage of the years also means more adult responsibilities. I no longer count the days because the seasons come along almost too quickly, and then rapidly speed by.

Despite the fact that adult men revert to boys now and then (a fact women know well), I’ve grown up a little since 1967. I’m thankful that the wait isn’t nearly so long. In fact, the seasons come so quickly that finding time to get ready for them is a challenge.

Something is in season nearly all the time. We have a 6-week archery season. We enjoy almost two months of turkey hunting, considering both fall and spring opportunities. We can pursue the elusive eastern coyote during winter months.

We can maintain familiarity with our favorite bow or rifle and practice our marksmanship on woodchucks all summer. Plus, we have small game opportunities, and out-of-state hunts easier to plan than ever before.

Getting ready for the season used to mean sharpening my knife, assembling my handloads, sighting in my rifle, making sure my hunting clothes were in good condition, and doing my preseason scouting. Now my preparation goes way beyond my hunting gear.

Now it means making sure the lawn stays mowed — more difficult as the days become short. It means making sure I change oil in my truck, car, lawn tractor and snowblower. It means planning for Christmas shopping

with my wife. It means cutting firewood and putting the garage in some semblance of cleanliness and order, and finishing household

projects before winter.

And then, the writing

deadlines. Most people would be surprised to learn that being an outdoor writer can

actually mean you hunt less

than the average guy. Unfortunately,

what I want to do often competes with what I must do. That’s what it means to live in the adult world. Who of us is

ever really caught up with adult responsibilities?

Whether we count the days or not, it’s important that we make the days count. It’s too easy to allow our favorite pastime to govern our lives and tempt us to live purely for our personal enjoyment. There is more to life than hunting — and although our days are numbered, there’s more to living than counting the days until our next hunt.

Time is fleeting. It never speeds by more quickly than during hunting season, but don’t let that rob you of living responsibly, or rob you of gratitude. The responsible hunter keeps hunting in proper perspective, and keeps his life in balance. It’s not easy, but we’re better off for it.

The responsible hunter is also grateful for the privilege of inheriting a rich a hunting heritage. Remember to be thankful for that heritage and for all who have given it to us. And remember that it’s not merely a bequest from some long dead conservationists. As the conservationists who will leave the legacy to others, how we use our days matters.

When “The Everyday Hunter” isn’t hunting , he’s 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, www.EverydayHunter.com. He writes for top outdoor magazines, and won the 2015 and 2018 national “Pinnacle Award” for outdoor writing.

Why Labor Day is Worth CelebratingCONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

American workers. Some records suggest that Peter J. McGuire, who served as general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and cofounded the American Federation of Labor, deserves the credit for Labor Day. However, the Department of Labor notes that many people believe a machinist named Matthew Maguire (no relation to Peter) was the first to propose a holiday honoring workers in 1882. At that time Maguire was serving as secretary of New York's Central Labor Union, which later adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic. The first Labor Day was ultimately celebrated in New York City on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in accordance with the plans made by the Central Labor Union, which strongly suggests that Maguire does, in fact,

deserve the credit for coming up with the holiday.

Why celebrate Labor Day?

Labor Day is worth celebrating because, without the contributions of millions of workers every year, the United States would not be the success story it is and has been for more than 200 years. In addition to the United States, many countries across the globe, including Canada and Australia, have their own versions of Labor Day.

Labor Day weekend might now be seen as the unofficial end of summer. But this Labor Day weekend, celebrants and workers should remember that Labor Day also should be a time to reflect on the value of hard work.
