Multiple Audubon Opportunities to Learn to Raise Monarchs

Audubon Community Nature Center has four opportunities for you to learn how to raise the beautiful Monarch Butterfly.

Raising Monarch Caterpillars programs for adults and children 9 and older are scheduled on:

• Wednesday, August 12, 6-7:30 p.m.• Wednesday, August 26, 6-7:30 p.m.• Tuesday, September 1, 5-6:30 p.m.

A Raising Monarchs Family Program is planned for those with younger children on Thursday, August 27, 10-11 a.m.

This is your chance to learn how to find and raise Monarch Butterflies as they change from egg to larva to pupa, then finally emerge as adults.

The presentation and hands-on experience will begin indoors, where you will go through all the basics of how to care for and raise butterflies, as well as how to find them. After experiencing the different parts of the Monarch life cycle, you will go

on a short walk to look for signs of Monarchs in Audubon’s milkweed patch.

The Family program meets outside in the Stephanie Frucella Education pavilion. It is shorter than the others and will be less technical.

Because of COVID, face coverings are required for all participants ages 3 and up for indoor programs and for

outdoor programs where participants cannot maintain six feet of distance between family groups.

The fee for the ages 9+ programs is $12 for adults, $9 for Nature Center members and children ages 9-15. The fee for the Family program is $8 for adults, $6 for Nature Center members and children ages 3-15, and free for children 2 and under.

Brought to you by:

Here’s a conversation I’ve never heard:

“Hi pal, how you doing?”“I’m un-sick today, thank you for

asking.”

Get the point? Un-sick is better than sick, for sure. But just not being sick isn’t good enough, is it? It’s not as good as being well. I mean really well.

But wellness is a funny thing. Even the word Wellness barely existed in the English language before the early 1950s. But today, the word is used 10,000 times more often than it was back then. Check it out for yourself at: books.google.com/ngrams.

Before modern medicine and public sanitation were widespread, most people were probably either sick or not sick. Only the very wealthy or the rare, far-sighted “physical culture” enthusiast even thought of anything beyond being just okay, beyond just not being sick. Un-sick was just fine.

So what is wellness, if it’s such a new idea? Wellness is as far above “I’m okay” as sickness is

below it. Wellness is the highest state of health. So if you’re okay now, how much wellness would you like to add on top of that?

This week, your Jamestown Gazette reminds all of our readers that August is National Wellness Month and we also bring you some good news about immunizations. We’re asking our readers: “How much better than “just okay” would you like to be?”

Here’s what wellness will give you. Wellness makes you more resilient, better at bouncing back from whatever knocks you down. Wellness makes you less vulnerable, less susceptible to sickness and stress. Wellness gives you the strength you need when you need more strength than you think you have. Wellness makes you confident.

See how much better wellness can be than simply living un-sick? And best of all, you do not need a prescription for wellness.

It is a blessing of modern medicine when a doctor can make you un-sick. But then the next step up to wellness is in your hands and there are no mysteries to that. First, stop doing things that make you sick—and you already know what they are—then start doing more of the things that make you well—and those are no mysteries there, either.

But wellness, unlike medicine, cannot be given to you. Use the resources of National Wellness Month and get yourself on track for the wellness you want.

There is, however one exception to the do-it-yourself method of wellness. It’s one of modern medicine’s greatest contributions to keeping you well.

Planet Earth is full of dangerous things. Some of them are germs and viruses. Vaccinations and immunizations save millions of lives every year by keeping people from ever becoming sick. They never have to become un-sick from something that simply can’t make them sick.

And for folks who distrust vaccines, we know the world will never be perfectly safe, but viruses are the deadlier alternative. Consider polio. At its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, polio paralyzed or killed more than half a million people every year. Polio vaccine has now reduced that to nearly zero worldwide. And people who don’t catch it, cannot spread it. Vaccine is safer than the polio virus.

Then there’s rabies. If a rabid dog bites you, the rabies virus will kill you with 100 percent certainty without the rabies vaccine. Some diseases are milder, but still more dangerous than their prevention.

So, this week, your Jamestown Gazette wishes all of our readers wellness far beyond un-sickness.

Enjoy the read.

"When someone you love becomes a memory, that

memory becomes a treasure."

This is hard. Life in the coronatimes is difficult. It is tough time to be old

and a tough time to be young. It is a tough time to be working and a tough time for those looking for work. It is a tough time for those close to retirement or retiring. It is a tough time to be a pre-schooler, a tough time to be a highschooler, and a tough time to be a grad-student. I hope it goes without saying that it is a tough time to be teaching on any level. This is tough.

It is hard being pregnant right now or sick right now. It is hard to be home alone and it is hard to be home with constant roommates. It is hard on kids, hard on teens, hard on young adults, hard on middle adults, and hard on older adults. (Keep in mind I have not even touched on the ethical and political realities facing our country right now.)

Therefore, it should go as no surprise that it is a hard time to practice our faith in the ways that we were accustomed. These are difficult days and religion has not been extended an abstention. On the contrary, life for Christians (and many believers of other faiths) is complicated right now too.

What I hope we can keep in mind is perspective. While it is easy to get down and feel sorry, in reality the struggles of the church in the midst of the coronacrisis pale in comparison to what Chrsitians have endured for centuries. Our forebearers were persecuted for their faith. Some were

fed to lions. Others were burned at stakes. Some were tortured for the enjoyment of cruel leaders.

For many Christians going to church was never easy (even in recent years). It involved miles of walking. Many risked their lives to worship. In some countries it remains illegal to practice Christianity. Prior to the corona, faithfulness to Jesus has divided households, ended relationships, and upended reality.

All of which I offer to encourage patience and endurance as we continue our faithfulness in the midst of a global pandemic. I will be the first to say that I have lamented the cessation of public worship and attempted closure of “church,” but let me also be the first to say that our struggles as 21 st century Americans pales in comparison to the struggles of Christians through the centuries and around the globe. If this is our “lot”, we still won the Christian “lottery.”

In scripture Jesus tells his disciples that they will “have trouble in this world.” That warning was not reserved for the ancient disciples or third-world disciples, but for all disciples. Jesus knew that we would have trouble in this world. He never promised that it would be easy. In fact, in other verses he coached them for quite the opposite. He told his disciples that faithfulness would require gentleness, patience, sacrifice, prayer, and love.

Now is the time for us to practice what we preach. The day will soon be upon us when some sort of new-normal worship will resume. Until then, let us endeavor in every way possible to show the world that the church never closed.

Jamestown Community College is preparing to welcome over 200 students to its residence halls later this month.

The move-in schedule will be conducted from August 20-22 to provide maximum social distancing and enhanced safety protocols for students and their families in Hillside Suites.

“Residence hall students will be sent their room and suite assignments by email early next week,” noted Tyler Silagyi, JCC’s residence life director. “The information will include their assigned move-in day and time. Students and up to two family members can come on campus for move-in and all will have to complete a COVID-19 health questionnaire at the time of their arrival.”

Prior to move-in, all residence hall students must also complete a pre-arrival questionnaire required by New York state. The link to the questionnaire, as well as a list of recommended cleaning supplies, will be provided in email to students.

“JCC officials have worked closely with the Chautauqua County Health Department on protocols and procedures for students who are coming to campus from states or other countries that will require a14-day quarantine period,” Silagyi added. Those students begin arriving on campus August 10 and will be monitored on a daily basis by the college’s health center.

Residence hall students must sign a housing addendum for the fall semester that includes a strict ‘no visitor’ policy, monitored by security staff, as part of overall campus safety procedures.

In addition, noted Silagyi, laundry rooms, elevators, and common spaces will have occupancy restrictions. Public areas are equipped with hand sanitizer stations. Face coverings are required

in all public areas but not within each student’s assigned suite.

“All students are required to take a daily health survey through a mobile app to help JCC’s health center monitor anyone who might develop symptoms that could be related to COVID-19,” according to Silagyi.

All residence hall students have meal plans as part of their housing agreement. Meals, available Monday through Friday, are provided at the Jayhawk Café in the Hamilton Collegiate Center. Seating in the dining area will be limited due to social distancing requirements.

Personal Touch Food Service, the contracted food service provider, will offer refrigerated and frozen meals for students to take back to their suites for later use. The serving area will also have ‘grab & go’packaged options, sandwiches, pre-made salads and soups, and hot meals.

Applications are still being accepted for the residence halls, which were cleaned according to CDC and OSHA guidelines during the summer. Hillside Suites allow for students to have private bedrooms in apartment-style living quarters, with up to four individuals assigned to each suite. Each suite will be considered a ‘family unit,’ according to CDC guidelines.

Additional details about JCC’s on-campus housing program and safety protocols for residence halls can be obtained by contacting the residence life office at 716.338.1188 or [email protected].

Chautauqua County Executive Paul M. Wendel, Jr. recently announced that Jessica Wisniewski, Chautauqua County Director of Human Resources, will resign from her position effective August 7, 2020.

“It is with a heavy heart that I am resigning my position as Director of Human Resources but I have certainly appreciated my time with Chautauqua County thoroughly,” said Wisniewski. “My family and I are relocating to North Carolina, which is my home state and where my extended family resides. My position with Chautauqua County has been a very rewarding experience and I am, and always will be, grateful to have been part of this wonderful organization. I plan to visit this beautiful area often in the future and I wish nothing but the best to Chautauqua County!”

Wisniewski first began her career with the county on June 21, 2017, when she was appointed as director. Throughout her career with the County, Wisniewski helped ensure the workplace entitlements of all employees; maintained statutory compliance with Federal, State and County requirements; facilitated employee recruitment; and promoted fair hiring practices while enforcing county policies.

She also has managed collective bargaining agreements and was lead negotiator for four union contracts with the five recognized labor organizations in County Government.

In addition to these duties, she also oversaw the administration of New York State Civil Services for 68 entities within Chautauqua County including local school districts and municipalities with responsibilities for over 5800 Civil Service employees.

“Over the past three years, Jessica has been an exceptional leader for our Human Resources Department,” said Wendel. “She has worked tirelessly to serve civil service employees and county employees; and to assist the public with finding career opportunities in local government. I thank Jessica for her incredible and exemplary service to Chautauqua County and wish her the best with her future endeavors.”

Wendel established a bi-partisan search committee to help him find the County’s next human resources director, who was selected and recently appointed at a special meeting of the Chautauqua County Legislature.

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/.

NYS Governor Andrew Cuomo announced today that school districts can open school buildings in the fall, leaving the decision on how to reopen to individual districts, while also changing some of the guidance that was previously issued to schools. Governor Cuomo has announced additional requirements and modifications to the previously established guidance from the Department of Health and State Education Department that we have been operating under since they were released in mid-July. In order to determine the proper path to address these changes, we will need to gain clarification from the NYS Department of Health and the Department of Education to better understand which guidance is to be treated as the controlling language.

In the meantime, we are running short on time. JPS will continue with our planning process, takinginto account the changes that we are faced with. We care deeply

about our JPS community and want to ensure that our process continues to involve the input of our parents and community members. We want to be sure that our school plans address safety concerns in the best way possible, and with input from our students, parents and staff. JPS’ on-line survey regarding our reopening plan remains open for feedback.

As announced in our original timeline, we will be communicating by the end of

next week about the modifications to our reopening plan based on our community’s input. We will also be scheduling virtual meetings with parents and teachers to discuss our reopening plan prior

to August 21st. Please visit our website or social media platforms for information about the dates and times of these events.

Please know that the health and safety of our students and staff is our number one priority and we continue to focus our efforts on our number one goal of student and staff safety.

Statement fromJPS SuperintendentDr. Kevin Whitaker


www.JamestownGazette.com

The City of Jamestown Fire Department held a graduation ceremony to install three recruits who successfully completed the Fire Academy as Firefighters for the City of Jamestown.

Mayor Eddie Sundquist welcomed the new firefighters to the department and presented them with recognition certificates. Deputy Fire Chief Matthew Coon presented each recruit with their Firefighter's badge.

"All three recruits have met rigorous standards to get to this level. his year was a particular challenge with the completion of their training being delayed due to the Pandemic. They have certainly earned the right to be called 'Professional Firefighters'," said Coon.

Mayor Sundquist said, "I congratulate and welcome

these three men to the City of Jamestown Fire Department. We look forward to your service with us."

The three recruits recognized today are Luke Ames, Gage Bird, and Dylan Monroe. All three completed training at the New York State Academy of Fire Science in Glen Falls, New York this year.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Coon offered the newly-assigned firefighters a few words of advice: "As you begin your careers, I encourage each of you to remember this day and all that you have accomplished to get to this point. We, as a Department, are very proud of all you accomplished thus far. Please continue to develop your skills, apply what you have learned, and most of all, enjoy the ride!"

Firefighter Ben McLaughlin also was recognized with a promotion to Lieutenant.

The Arbor Day Foundation has designated Jamestown Community College a Tree Campus Higher Education institution for the 11th consecutive year.

Tree Campus Higher Education is a national program created in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and studentsin conservation goals.

JCC, the first community college in New York state to earn the Tree Campus designation, met five standards, which include having a tree advisory committee, an Arbor Day observance, and a campus tree care plan, dedicating annual expenditures for a campus

tree program, and sponsoring student service learning projects.

JCC was also one of 29 colleges first awarded the Tree Campus designation when the program began in 2008. As of 2019, 402 colleges and universities have achieved the designation.

The Arbor Day Foundation has helped campuses throughout the country plant hundreds of thousands of trees, and Tree Campus Higher Education colleges and universities invested over $55 million in campus forest management last year.

The mission of the Arbor Day Foundation, a nonprofit conservation and education organization, is to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. More information can be found at arborday.org.

Diabetes is a serious condition that, if not controlled, can cause health problems such as heart disease, nerve damage, eye problems, kidney damage, and teeth and gum damage. Controlling diabetes is a lot of work – you have to work to maintain your weight, increase physical activity, make healthy food choices, and take your medicines even when you feel good. While diabetes cannot be cured, it can be controlled so the complications of diabetes can be delayed or prevented. It is not easy, but definitely worth it!

Blood sugar monitoring is the only way to know how well your diabetes is under control. Your doctor will develop an individual goal for you, but the American Diabetes Association suggests keeping your levels consistently between 80-130 mg/dl before meals. Your blood sugar levels accumulate in your blood stream as you consume carbohydrates at meals and snacks. When blood sugar levels approach the upper range, the role of insulin is to take those sugar molecules to the cells of the body to be used for energy or storage. However, those with diabetes either do not have enough insulin or the body is less sensitive to the insulin produced and therefore leads to an accumulation of blood sugar in the blood stream. When the body no longer works to control the levels in the blood stream, you must take action to control those blood sugar levels through choosing the right foods and increasing physical activity. Blood sugar monitoring at home gives you immediate feedback about your current blood sugar levels so you can make educated choices about the foods to consume for that next meal. Additionally, there is bloodwork called A1C that your doctor will order to measure your average blood sugar level over the past three months. This is generally ordered twice a year with a goal to stay under 7.

While good nutrition matters, eating well does not have to be overwhelming. Eating the same about of food at the same time of the day is important. This helps to avoid huge swells or big drops in your blood sugar levels from meal to

meal. Consistency is key! A general goal is to consume 45-60 grams of carbohydrates at each of your meals and to evenly space your meals out throughout the day. Your doctor or a registered dietitian can give you an individualized plan. All your food and beverage choices matter. Simple shifts in your eating can make big differences in achieving your carbohydrate intake goals and controlling your blood sugar levels. For example, make half your plate fruits and vegetables, with a focus on whole foods. Make half of your grains whole grains to increase vitamins and fiber. Drink and eat foods with less sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars to maintain your weight and prevent heart disease associated with diabetes.

Physical activity also makes a big impact on controlling your diabetes. The Institute of Medicine recommends 30 minutes of movement most days of the week. You should try to exercise around the same time each day to help make your blood sugar levels more predictable. In addition to cardio-respiratory activities, you should incorporate muscle-strengthening activities twice a week. Flexibility and Balance activities are also important. The main goal is to do more of something you enjoy doing.

We know the healthy choice is not always the easiest choice, but small changes can make a big difference. Chautauqua County Office for Aging Dietitians, Cheryl Wahlstrom RDN and Carey Skelton RDN are available for nutrition counseling and SNAP-ed programs. The SNAP-ed program is FREE for those who receive or qualify for SNAP benefits. We want to help you save time, save money, and eat healthy! Chautauqua County Office for Aging Senior Nutrition Program also provides nutritious meals through Home Delivered Meals, Congregate Dining In Sites, as well as a Restaurant Dining Out Program throughout the county. We also sponsor several exercise programs. Please remember to contribute toward your OFA nutrition services if you can. These programs are not sustainable without the support of participant and community contributions. Be aware that SNAP benefits can be used toward your contribution.

Many people expect their vision to fade as they grow older. Such expectations are not unfounded, as the National Eye Institute notes that certain vision changes, including diminished vision and difficulty distinguishing colors, are a normal part of aging. But even children can experience changing vision, which only highlights the importance of kids receiving routine eye exams.Eye examination frequency depends on the age of the child and the condition of his or her eyesight at the time of each exam. The American Optometric Association has established these guidelines for pediatric eye examination frequency to help parents know when to get their youngsters' vision checked.

Birth to 2 years

Children in this age group whose physicians have deemed them asymptomatic of potential eye conditions or at low risk of developing eye conditions should have their eyes examined sometime between six and 12 months of age. Kids who may be at risk should adhere to the same schedule, though the AOA notes that exams for at-risk children may need to be conducted more frequently, even in this age group, than kids who

are symptom-free. Eye doctors will speak with parents and recommend an eye exam schedule based on their initial examination.

3 through 5 years

Children between the ages of three and five who are at low risk of developing eye conditions should have their eyes examined at least once between their third and fifth birthdays. The same goes for kids who are at risk, though doctors may recommend more frequent examinations for such youngsters.

6 through 18 years

Whether they are at risk of eye conditions or not, children between the ages of six and 18 should have their eyes examined before first grade and annually thereafter. Youngsters who are at risk may need more frequent examinations as they get older.

Eye examinations are an important component of child healthcare. By adhering to AOA eye examination guidelines, parents can ensure any vision problems their children develop are quickly caught and can be treated before they adversely affect youngsters' lives.

How often do Kids need Eye Exams?


The immune system is a powerful component of the human body. The immune system recognizes when viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders enter or compromise the body, and then takes action to prevent illnesses from taking over. The average person can help his or her immune system do its job more effectively by making the immune system as strong as it can be.

Harvard Medical School says that diet, exercise, age, and psychological stress may affect immune system response. Certain lifestyle choices can promote a strong immune system.

• Get adequate sleep. Doctors believe sleep and immunity are closely tied. A study of 164 healthy adults published by the National Institutes of Health found those who slept fewer than six hours each night were more likely to catch a cold than people who slept for more than six hours. Aim for adequate rest each night to keep your body in top form.

• Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables supply the powerhouse antioxidants that are essential for protecting a body against free radicals. Free radicals may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Serve fruits and/or vegetables with every meal to ensure you're getting enough antioxidant-rich foods.

• Consume fiber and fermented foods. Fiber can help feed the gut microbiome, which is linked to a robust immune system. The microbiome also may prevent harmful pathogens from entering the body through the digestive tract. Data also suggests that eating more fermented foods can

further strengthen and populate healthy bacteria in the gut.

• Exercise regularly. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day, advises the American Heart Association. Thirty minutes of exercise each day can go a long way toward keeping the body healthy. The U.S. National Library of Medicine says physical activity may help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. Exercise causes changes in antibodies and white blood cells. These antibodies and white blood cells circulate rapidly, so they may detect illnesses earlier than they would if you do not exercise. Body temperature also rises during exercise, which could naturally prevent bacteria from growing.

• Try to minimize stress. According to Simply Psychology, when people are stressed, the immune system's ability to fight off antigens is reduced, making people more susceptible to infections. The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of the immune system. Limiting stress through meditation and breathing exercises, or trying to remove stressors from one's life, may help.

A healthy immune system is vital to fending off or recovering from illness.

Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care (CHPC) is pleased to formally announce plans to establish a hospice house in Chautauqua County.

Most large communities have a residence that provides round the clock hospice care. CHPC is regularly reminded of this profound necessity because too many of our most frail patients are transferred from the area because we don’t have our own hospice residence; the nearest hospice residence is located in Warren, PA.

Outside of a hospital or nursing home, hospice care in Chautauqua County does not provide in-home 24-hour care. Hospice care team members visit regularly, sometimes multiple times a day, but are not able to stay with the patient day and night. Once admitted to the hospital, patient stays are limited and, if unable to return home, they are transferred to a nursing home or an out-of-area hospice residence. The result is sometimes feelings of abandonment by the patient, stressful circumstances

when the patient is most vulnerable and severance of existing hospice care relationships.

Area residents Liz Frederick and Eric Hall, helped to remind CHPC staff about the need for a residence, after finding a wondering neighbor, who was on hospice care. The gentleman had no family caregiver and ultimately passed in the hospital. Although he had the resources to hire private in-home care, none could be found on short notice.

“My dear neighbor’s financial resources could not buy a caregiver on short notice when his illness overpowered him,” said Frederick, who has volunteered as a campaign committee member to raise the necessary funds. “The fright he experienced when he thought he would be transferred in his last days to the care of strangers and lose his beloved hospice nurse will always be with me.”

The vast majority of people at the end of their life would prefer to die at home. Sadly, there are many more situations where it’s not feasible to remain at home due to difficult living conditions including lack of financial

resources or complex medical needs. A local hospice residence will enable these patients to transition to a dignified and beautiful home-like environment, easing the stress of all those involved with caregiving. The strong bonds that have been developed with CHPC staff can remain in place. More significantly, family visitation will be easier than if the patient were transferred to a more distant care setting. An estimated 200 patients and their families will be served by the residence each year.

To realize the dream of a residence in Chautauqua County, CHPC set out to raise $2.1 million through the “Our House” campaign, and has currently raised more than $1.1 million through generous donors and foundations. The funds would allow for the home on the property to be converted into a five-patient facility complete with accommodations for out-of-town guests and a separate kitchen for their meal preparation.

The hospice residence will be accessible to everyone regardless of ability to pay. “Room and board will be paid in full by Medicaid or private pay on a sliding scale, or with funds provided for the un- and under-

insured through an existing fund at the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation,” according to Shauna Anderson, President & CEO.

She added, “This will be a community asset available to everyone in the county and will make a difference in ways we don’t think about. At the end of life, family members need to be family—emotionally supportive companions, allowing time for reconciliation and growth. This would allow them not to become exhausted from the overwhelming stress of providing physical care as well.”

A one-minute animated video provides an exterior and interior tour of the future house at chpc.care/hh.

The mission of CHPC is to provide comprehensive palliative/end-of-life care and education. CHPC provides hospice care for patients and families facing life-limiting terminal illness, palliative care for those with serious chronic illness, and bereavement support to individuals, families and organizations who have suffered the loss of a loved one.

A comprehensive vision exam with a developmental optometrist is the first step in uncovering the link

between a child’s vision and any learning problems they may be struggling with unnecessarily.

Zoom over to the Martz-Kohl Observatory at 7:30 on Wednesday evening, August 19 and hear about what the sky is like on other planets across the galaxy.

The Martz-Kohl Observatory welcomes back Darren Williams, PhD, Physics Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Penn State Behrend, our special guest speaker for August, 2020.

Dr. Williams, a long-time friend of the observatory, will present “Taking the Temperature of an Extrasolar Planet.” He will discuss how astronomers take a planet’s temperatures by using light hiding in the host-star’s spectrum, orbital shapes, and extreme planet-wide seasonal cycles.

Dr. Williams will also discuss the latest news in the field of exoplanets and the continuing search for worlds that are similar to our own, Earth-like worlds of distant stars. After the presentation, anyone “zoomed-in” is invited to take part in a lively question & answer session limited only by the curiosity and imagination of our guests.

Dr. Darren Williams earned his Bachelor of Science in Physics at the University of Pittsburgh and his PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics at The Pennsylvania State University. His research interests include, Asteroid Impacts on Terrestrial Planets; Climates of Terrestrial Planets; Evolution of the Solar System; Exoplanets and Exomoons; and Spin-Orbital Dynamics of Planets and Moons.

How to Zoom In

The “doors open” for signing on at 7:15 for the program that starts at 7:30. Using a computer at home

or a smart phone anywhere, just click on this link at the Martz-Kohl Observatory website: https://martzobservatory.org/zoom/ or on “Taking the Temperature of an Extrasolar Planet” on the home page.

The Other Big Show

On August 11 and 12, don’t miss the Perseids Meteor Shower. The Perseids is one of the best meteor showers of the year. Late night sky-watchers can see a large number of bright meteors, often as many as 60 per hour at its peak. The spectacle is produced by Earth passing through the debris trail streaming through space from comet Swift-Tuttle, which was discovered in 1862.

Every year the shower can be seen at some time between July 17 and August 24, this year mostly on the night of the 11th and morning of the 12th. The bright second quarter moon will outshine some of the fainter meteors this year, but the Perseids are so numerous and bright that they should still be a pretty good show. As always, the best viewing will be after midnight from a dark location. The meteor shower gets its name from the constellation Perseus from which most of the meteors will appear to radiate, though they can appear anywhere in the sky.

What color is the sky on your planet?

Martz-Kohl Observatory Board of Directors


Darren Williams, Ph.D.

The Jamestown Board of Education appointed Lauren Scharf as the new Jamestown High School Choral Director, which includes the JHS A Cappella Choir, at Tuesday’s meeting. Ms. Scharf is only the fifth A Cappella Choir director in its 96-year history. Ms. Scharf takes the reins from Norman Lydell, who led the A Cappella Choir since the fall of 2003 following the retirement of Brian Bogey who served from 1982-2003. Donald Bube led the choir from 1958-1981 and Ebba Goranson, A Cappella founder, was the first director in 1924.

“I am thrilled to be stepping into the role of Choral Director at Jamestown High School,” said Ms. Scharf. "My passion has always been working with students and watching them grow, both as musicians and as individuals. I will now get to do that on a daily basis, which is really exciting. I am thankful to those who came before me who developed and maintained a program of such prestige. I look forward to upholding this legacy as we negotiate the challenges ahead."

Ms. Scharf was most recently the Persell Middle School 5-8 general music/choral music teacher. She has also been the JHS Musical Director since 2017 and the JHS Musical Vocal Director in 2015-2016. She received her Bachelor of Music in Music Education from the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam and her Master of Music from the Fredonia School of Music at SUNY Fredonia.

“Jamestown High School is extremely happy to have Ms. Scharf with us to take over the A Cappella program,” said JHS Principal Dana Williams. “Taking over for Mr. Lydell is a big task, but we know she’ll do a tremendous job.”

The 80-voice JHS A Cappella Choir features smaller ensembles, including the Madrigal Singers, Men of Tomorrow and Ladies of Today. The A Cappella Choir is known as the “Choir of Cathedrals.” With performances at the National Shrine Basilica in Washington, D.C; New York City’s famed Saint Patrick’s Cathedral and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church; St. Stephan’s Cathedral in Vienna, (home of the Vienna Boys Choir); the Basilica in Innsbrook; the Cathedral in Salzburg; England’s Saint Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Cathedral. The choir has participated in master classes at Harvard University, North Park University and the University of Maryland. The choir has performed at professional sporting events and historical sites, including the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington, the Holocaust Museum, the Kennedy Center, Arlington National Cemetery, and Fort McHenry. In December of 2009, the Madrigal Singers performed with recording artist Kenny Rogers. In 2014 and 2019, the A Cappella Choir performed at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.

Well, friends, have you had any homegrown produce yet this season? With the

warmth and moderate rain we have had, the zucchini is great so far! This is the time of year when you walk in to the breakroom at work you are met by a big basket of zucchini and a sign that reads “free…Help Yourself ”! Zucchini is one of those plants that, when it flourishes, it does so to excess! If you have ever grown zucchini, you really understand what it means to share. Anyone I have ever known that has grown zucchini (even just one plant), usually finds themselves with an overabundance of those long green squash.

Summer time is such perfect time to enjoy the bounties of a great garden, and it is an even better time to get creative with those fresh veggies! Sautéing veggies is always good, but how about cooking them on the grill or under the broiler? I like to slice my firm veggies (like zucchini or yellow summer squash) into thick slices, toss them in an herb infused olive oil and grill over a medium heat until they are tender. You can also cut your veggies into chunks, toss in that yummy herbed oil and then thread on skewers. Grill them over a medium heat, turning to get grill marked on all sides. If you have a grill basket or tray, you can cook smaller pieces of veggies without having to worry about them falling through the grates.

Fresh veggies can also be added when making terrific sweet treats! Everyone loves carrot cake, but don’t forget about the tasty treats you can make with that big basket of zucchini you have sitting on your counter. Zucchini bread may be the first thing to come to your mind, but you can shred zucchini (and yellow squash) and mix it into many different dishes. Lemon zucchini scones are a wonderful breakfast treat, as are orange zucchini muffins. Much like I have suggested adding applesauce to baked goods, you can add shredded zucchini to batters and doughs to add not only moisture, but

a little extra nutrition as well. Add a little shredded zucchini to your pancake batter for texture, moisture and vitamins! I remember my Nana adding zucchini to her chocolate cake…it was the most-moist cake you could find! An important thing to remember, however, is to peel your zucchini before shredding if you plan to add it to a light colored batter or dough. While I like to keep the peels on for color in some dishes, if I want to keep that addition a secret, I don’t want green specs showing up! Another suggestion I will offer is to allow your shredded zucchini to rest in a colander for 20-30 minutes before mixing into batter or dough; sometimes zucchini are wet and you won’t necessarily want that much extra liquid in your recipe!

As with anything we eat, you never know exactly how something new will work out until you try, so don’t be afraid to get creative and add some home grown goodness to a favorite recipe this week!

Lemon Zucchini Bread

• 1 cup vegetable oil• ¾ C greek yogurt (vanilla or lemon)• 1 T lemon juice (fresh squeezed is

best!)• 3 eggs• 2 C sugar• 3 C flour• 1 t baking soda• ¼ t baking powder• 1 t salt• 2 T lemon zest• 2 C shredded zucchini

Preheat oven to 350*

Sift together dry ingredients and set aside. Cream together oil, yogurt, eggs, sugar and lemon juice and zest. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until combined. Stir in zucchini.

Divide batter evenly between two greased 8 ½” x 4 ½” loaf pans. Bake for 55-60 minutes (until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean). Allow to cool 15-20 minutes before removing from pans and placing on a cooling rack. Glaze if desired!
