“Everybody knows somebody,” Dr Lillian V. Ney said recently, explaining how local residents can help attract doctors to practice in Jamestown. She was talking about knowing people with a passion to help people. They might be high school students dreaming of medical school, medical students planning their future lives or seasoned clinicians who’ve come to prefer the warmth of community over big city bustle.

Dr. Ney chairs Jamestown’s Health Care Action Team—HCAT. The team came together as the result of the Jamestown’s Strategic Planning and Partnerships Commission request to study and act on the importance of health care to the economic health of our region, job creation and retention and concern for the scarcity of health care professionals in our area.

One of the first issues addressed by the team is the local doctor shortage, which is pointed out in regional surveys, and the experience of many southern Chautauqua County residents. “But Jamestown is not unique in that,” Dr. Ney says. “We’re competing with a lot of fine communities trying to attract doctors.”But the HCAT is also finding new opportunities. A doctor with assistants can do much more than a doctor working alone. ““We are hoping to mentor and encourage young people,” Dr. Ney says, “whether they want to be doctors, physical therapists, respiratory therapists, nurse practitioners or midwives.” Those careers and many more make up a group of practitioners called physician extenders. “We’re really recruiting the whole health care team.”

The Action Team has set up a ‘Grow Your Own Program’ which reflects the team’s confidence in Jamestown’s youth. Students interested in a health career are offered physician and hospital shadowing experiences, Middle School and High School Healthcare Career Exploration Programs and similar educational enhancements. For instance, the most recent Career Fair, held at WCA Hospital, brought health care providers together with high school students to expose them to the myriad possible health care paths open to them. Students are at the beginning of HCAT’s recruitment pipeline.

“I had family here. This was my hometown,” Dr. Ney says. “That’s why I came back here to practice.” A main focus of physician recruitment is reaching out to students and doctors who have local roots. But some doctors may be looking for a new place to establish their family roots. A number of published studies on attracting doctors to rural areas show that a doctor’s spouse and children are equally important to recruit.

The Action Team often has only 48 hours, all the time a busy physician may have available to visit, in order to arrange a hospital tour, introduce potential colleagues, visit schools, help a spouse find a second family job,

look at homes and show off the region’s many attractions. Dr. Ney explains that if Action Team members have stayed in contact with and encouraged a physician through the school years, such a whirlwind visit can be made to feel much more like old friends inviting the whole family to a new life.

Medical school is expensive. “Some doctors graduate with $200,000 to $300,000 of debt,” Dr. Ney says. Many rural communities recruit doctors with an offer to share in paying that debt down by a certain amount for every year they practice locally. “We don’t have an endowment yet to make that kind of offer on a large scale, but we’ve applied for a grant to jump start it,” Dr. Ney says.

The Action Team believes the whole community, WCA Hospital and even local healthcare vendors, will benefit by helping solve the physician shortage. Health care will improve, the local tax base will expand, new doctors will employ more people and more hospital services will bring in more income. One estimate reckons that every new doctor in the hospital generates between $1 million and $3 million every year—a good antidote for the escalating costs of managing a hospital in New York State.

“But whom should we recruit?” Dr. Ney says that is a critical question. The only fair answer requires a thorough needs assessment. The proportion of old and young residents, number of births expected annually, typical occupations, for instance farm vs. factory, and many other factors come into play. In addition, retirement or departure of established doctors are also important factors to consider.

The complexity of attracting new doctors—the HCAT projects 10 successful recruitments in its first 12 to 18 months of operation—has called together a coalition of community activists and organizations. ““Initially we needed a period of time simply to understand the needs and concerns of all our team members and the issues they all brought to the table,” Dr. Ney explains. “We believe in consensus and synergy. We can accomplish much more as a team than by working alone.”

“Our region offers a high quality of life, a rural setting that fights the big city’s stress, noise and pollution, good educational systems and community revitalization programs. These are all assets in the competition to recruit doctors and health care professionals to Jamestown and Chautauqua County,” Dr. Lillian V. Ney says confidently. “We are building an outstanding health care community.”

politics: love it or hAte it— you live with it

Few words wear as many faces—and disguises—as politics.

On the dark side, sometimes it takes a comedian to nail it down. Groucho Marx said, “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.” In this week’s Jamestown Gazette you’ll meet a local baker and his family who have achieved a four-generation record of sweet success and service to their community. But today, our baker tells us that politicians—the very people we elect to protect our ability to succeed—may have indeed misdiagnosed the nation’s energy problem and misapplied the wrong remedy. They have shoved our food into our cars’ gas tanks. The baker may have first-hand knowledge that explains why food costs are rising and a gallon of gas will drain your wallet of more than $4 at the pump. You may or may not agree, but you can stop by Ecklof ’s Bakery & Deli, enjoy something traditional, delightful and sweet, and talk it all over with Rick at Jamestown’s ‘Last Swedish Bakery Standing’.

On the other hand, Merriam-Webster lists among its many definitions of politics, “The total complex of relations between people living in society.” The implication is that good politics leads to a society living well. And the Jamestown Gazette this week brings you an outstanding example of just such a reality taking shape in the City of Jamestown. Dr. Lillian Vitanza Ney, chairing the Health Care Action Team for Jamestown’s Strategic Planning Commission and Partnerships, is spearheading a political and community alliance to recruit new doctors and bring a new level of medical excellence to the region. Politics is people working together for everyone’s good. The original Greek root of politics simply means “of, for, or relating to citizens.”

American politics is said by many to be crowned by our guarantee of religious freedom. This week readers will meet Lee Lindeman, Executive Director of the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center—LCLC. For generations the LCLC camp in Bemus Point has been training the region’s youth for leadership with the kind of ethical and moral courage that makes strong families, communities, churches and politics a self-fulfilling promise.

Politics: Love it or hate it. We live with what we make of it.

Enjoy the read.

neeD help puttinG sleep problems to rest?

According to the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 70 million people in the United States are affected by a sleep problem. About 40 million Americans suffer from a chronic sleep disorder and an additional 20-30 million are affected by intermittent sleep-related problems. If a lack of sleep is taking a toll on your life, you may need to be evaluated by a specialist.

if you experience Any of the followinG symptoms, you mAy hAve A sleep DisorDer.• Difficulty falling asleep

• Inability to sleep through the night

• Snoring accompanied by pauses in breathing

• Tingling sensations in your legs and arms when lying in bed

• Waking from sleep feeling un-refreshed

• Fall asleep at inappropriate times; while driving or at work

• Take frequent naps

• Walk in your sleep

• Wake up with headaches

• Your partner complains that you often snore loudly.

The staff at the WCA Hospital Sleep Center understands that you can’t be your best without a full night’s rest. Sleep deprivation can cause poor performance at work or school and strain relationships. It also has been directly linked to serious illnesses such as diabetes, stroke, and obesity.

That’s why the newly-expanded WCA Sleep Center, located on the 3rd Floor of the WCA Hospital offers comprehensive, in-depth sleep monitoring based on your individual needs. Our facility has been awarded a five-year term of accreditation by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and offers the latest diagnostic technology and treatments for a variety of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy.

Rockland Milne, FACHE, RRT, RPSGT, Director of Respiratory and Neurology Care says, “The members of our sleep team completed extensive training and are pleased to offer this service to our community so parents no longer have to travel far to receive diagnostic evaluation and treatment for children with various types of sleep disorders.”

An Answer to peDiAtric sleep DisorDersThe WCA Sleep Center offers adult and pediatric sleep studies for children 5 years of age and older. “Children often have different symptoms from adults, meaning more specialized equipment needs to be use, and technicians must score results differently,” says Frank Arnal, MD, FCCP and Medical Director of the WCA Sleep Center. “Treatment of sleep disorders helps reduce a patient’s risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and driving or work-related accidents. Everyone wants to wake up each day feeling rejuvenated and energetic. Our state-of-the-art sleep center provides patients with thorough, immediate treatment, helping improve their quality of life right away.”

6 wAys to sleep At niGhtFollow these tips to enhance the quality of your slumber.

1. Avoid caffeine close to bedtime.

2. Use your bedroom for sleep only.

3. Sleep in a dark, quiet environment.

4. Exercise regularly.

5. Maintain a regular bedtime schedule, even on weekends.

6. Finish eating at least tow hours before sleep.

If you’ve been told you snore, gasp for air, or stop breathing while you sleep, you may suffer from a sleep disorder. Don’t put it off another night. Call (716) 664-8430 to make an appointment with a sleep specialist at the WCA Sleep Center.

You are invited to spend an evening learning about the American Woodcock and observing the unusual looking birds’ courting rituals at the Audubon Center and Sanctuary and the Hatch Run Preserve on Friday, May 13. Audubon program director Jennifer Schlick captured this image of a woodcock during a recent bird banding at the Sanctuary.

AuDubon offers wooDcock wAlk –

AnD riDe!

Jamestown, NY – It’s spring and time to think about finding a mate, at least if you are a woodcock! Every spring the male woodcock makes elaborate mating flights above local fields, soaring over 300 feet into the air while singing his heart out. He displays like this every night at sunset.

Come to the Audubon Center and Sanctuary on Friday, May 13 at 7 pm for a short program, including a video, to get to know woodcocks better. They are quirky little birds with backwards facing brains and eyes in the back of their head.

After the program, the group will drive the short distance to the Warren County (Pennsylvania) Conservation District’s Hatch Run Preserve, set up lawn chairs and watch for the woodcocks. There is about a half mile uphill hike at Hatch Run, but a van will be provided to help people and chairs get up the hill. Senior naturalist Jeff Tome will direct.

The program is $5 for members and $7 for non-members.

To register, call (71) 569-2345 or email your interest to [email protected] with you name and phone number.

The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.

Sunday my beloved and I were supposed to see Wicked The Musical at Shea’s in Buffalo, then have a romantic anniversary dinner. Instead, he got sick. My daughter loved the theater, whether it’s high school musicals, The Little Theater, or Shea’s. After inviting her to see Wicked, her excitement made me feel like a super hero, until I remembered how deep Wicked actually is. Add to that the flying monkeys, the intensity of the music, the dark stage, and I began to doubt my decision. Especially because Cricket (her nickname) has a hard time not chirping.

When we got to the theater, I noticed she was the only little child there. Young Frankenstein had a slew of youngsters, so surely some of these parents would bring their five-year-olds to see Wicked! Instead, I received some curious looks and heard some comments about bringing such a young girl, which I agreed with. My apprehension increasing, I bought Cricket a big cookie and grabbed a program. We talked through the whole first act, and I explained what she would see, summarized the storyline, and reviewed the rules.

Rule #1: Save all of your questions until intermission.

Rule #2: Save all of your comments until intermission.

Rule #3: Save any questions or comments until intermission.

When the lights lowered, she sat up in anticipation. In the first scene, the main character was born. Ergh! I quickly distracted Cricket with the cookie, but the rest of the first half went smooth. She laughed, she got scared, she clapped. When the lights went on, her questions began.

If Glinda is good, why was she mean?

Why were they laughing at her just because she was different? Don’t they know she felt bad?

Can I get a book of magic spells?

Cricket felt for the lead character and remembered when she had been teased like the character in the show. She stated how she stood up for herself, and began lecturing on the importance of doing the right thing, even if it was lonely or scary. How impressed and proud was I?

I prepped her for the second half, again telling her what she would see, reviewing the rules. When it was over, she leaped to her feet, declaring, “This is the best!” to those around us.

I couldn’t have agreed more. It was a good example of knowing what my daughter could handle, preparing her with both the content and my expectations of her, and she proved that buying tickets to The Lion King was a good idea. Phew!

5 must-know GooGle tricks

Contributing Writer Dan Nunn

The internet has become an invaluable resource in modern life, with nearly all of society’s public information available in some fashion. It wasn’t always so easy to sort through what Google has estimated as 1 trillion web pages out there. Prior to the launch of Google in 1998, search engines were slow, cumbersome, and difficult to use. Google changed all of that with the concept of PageRank, their term for the popularity of a site, as measured by how many other sites link to it. This has made it easier than ever to find what you need on the web. But are there secrets to Google that you don’t know? I will present my top five must know tricks that you can use to better find what you are looking for.

5. GooGle’s pHone triCks. Google has a number of tools you can use to get phone book information. Missed a call and want to see who it was? Enter the phone number in Google for a reverse phone lookup. It will only work if the number is list-ed, but if it’s an unlisted number, try entering just the area code to narrow it down geographically. Need to search for a person or a business? Enter their name and zip code and you’ll be presented with their name, address and phone number.

4. tHe “site” keyWorD. Often, you may come across a site with a wealth of information but no proper way to search it. With Google, you can search their site by entering “site:www.yoursite-here.com” followed by your search query. The search results will come exclusively from that site.

3. GooGle CAlCulAtor. Quickly do math by enter-ing your calculation as a search term and Google will provide you with the answer. In addition to math, you may also convert dozens of common measurements, so the next time you are in the kitchen and your recipe calls for 5 tablespoons of an ingredi-ent, a Google search for “5 tablespoons in ounces” will let you know that 2.5 ounces is equivalent. Or, if you’ve brought home some pesos from your last vacation, Google can tell you that “250 pesos in dollars” leaves you with a little bit more than a $20 bill.

2. File seArCH. If you’ve ever needed a particular type of file, Google can come to the rescue with the “filetype” feature. This can be especially handy when searching for PDFs or other files you may be looking for. For example, a wealth of information can be had by searching for “jamestown ny census filetype:pdf.”

1. DeFine WorDs. Still have a dictionary? Make some space on that bookshelf by learning to use the “define” feature. Search for “define eclectic,” for example, and Google will present you with the meaning of the word eclectic, as well as several links to other dictionary sites you can use to do further research.

This list barely scratches the surface of the tips and tricks with Google. There are dozens more features available right at the Google search box. For more information on what is available with Google, search for “Search Features” and click the first link. Happy searching!

Bits & Bytes

Jill Henderson Lehman, a former member of the Jamestown AM Rotary and current member of Falconer Rotary, recently returned from The Gambia and shared her story of life as a Peace Corps volunteer.

Jill had been in Africa for about 1 ½ years as a member of the Peace Corps. Prior to this she sold her house, business and many possessions to fulfill the requirements of the Peace Corps. She then traveled to Africa where she experienced 9 weeks of intense training and learning: local languages, culture, and job skills: ex making compost, organic pesticides and learning the native trees. While training she lived with a local host family in a hut.

She was officially sworn into the Peace Corps on Jan. 7th, 2010 and subsequently moved to Kunkujang, Gambia out in the bush area that was part of a 15 unit compound. Here she lived in a hut with mud walls, thatched roof and NO plumbing or electricity and ate with the families of the compound. Mostly meals of couscous or rice with sauces they made from leaves and other things - same food for lunch and supper. The huts harbored many mice that made it necessary sweep bed covers off daily to remove droppings. Animal sounds made it very noisy at night and difficult to sleep. She noted that the family dynamics in her compound were wonderful and that the surrounding area was beautiful. During the dry season the landscape was barren but during the rainy season it transformed into a lush terrain with flamboyant trees.

There were no schools in her compound but were 23 children in this area needing education. Jill worked with 5 local schools where she taught 6th grade English. She also worked in tree nurseries, gardens and clubs at these schools- 1 focused on trash and waste management. Another project at one of the schools was the proper disposal of used batteries (they use loads of them). She worked with the Green Foundation helping to establish mango and cashew orchards and teaching vision for maintenance. They had no tractors using very simple tools for gardening and burn offs to clear large areas for their orchards.

In May Jill got sick with diarrhea requiring that she go to hospital where she was treated for hook worms and parasites due to lack of sanitation from no running water. As she was not recovering she was sent to a South African hospital and had her gall bladder removed. Upon return from hospital she moved to a larger village with electricity and plumbing and cooked her own meals.

Jill’s work with the Peace Corp was interrupted 3 weeks ago because of safety issues. She wanted to stay but was not allowed to do so. She was whisked out of the country and back to the US without even being able to say goodbye. One of the projects that she left behind was a science lab that Rotary is trying to build in Gambia that all schools could make use of.

Gambia is the smallest African country with a very corrupt government where temperatures range from lows in the 70’s to highs of 130. The weather is hot and humid but rains come in June. Ground nuts are the major export. Bird watching brings people from all over the world providing tourism dollars.

There are 6 languages in use but only English is used in the schools. The dress is conservative in this country of Christians and Muslims. Every village has a mosque. The local people love holidays both Christian and Muslim.

There are a number of health issues facing the citizens, primarily Malaria and HIV-AIDS. Much money has been spent trying to conquer these problems, especially HIV-AIDS. And as a result there is less of a problem there than in the USA. When a person dies in Gambia burials must be the same day as death but somehow are very well attended, word travels fast.

ecklof bAkerythe last swedish bakery

EditorWalter Pickut

“We’re the last bakery standing,” says Rick Ecklof. “The last Swedish bakery, that is.” Once there were at least a dozen Swedish bakeries in Jamestown, Rick reminisces. “But either supermarkets killed them off or the old Swedes died and left nobody to pick up after them.”

“We have things people grew up with,” Rick says, gesturing toward a glistening display case filled with fresh baked goods. A long tray of cream colored, oblong cookies, sporting a thick stripe of pink icing down the middle, lay stacked there row upon row. “We bake 50 to 70 dozen of those ‘Pink Stripes’ every day.” His father, Richard Ecklof, Sr., had given a free, pink stripe cookie to every child who entered the store with a parent for years. “People remember those things.”

“They’ve become a cult,” Rick says, smiling. “We ship them all over the country.” Ecklof ’s signature cookie even has its own Facebook page called ‘I love Pink Stripe Cookies from Ecklof ’s Bakery,’ posted by Scott Costantino. Scott no longer lives in Jamestown, but the Pink Stripe Cookie is something he has to have when he comes back home.

The way to be ‘the last bakery standing’, Ecklof claims, is to preserve your niche market with hard to find specialties—and quality. Old fashioned Swedish specialties, for instance the traditional twice-baked skorpor, Limpa rye bread, sweet almond tarts and cardamom flavored fresh baked goods, draw in loyal customers for treats of their homeland not found anywhere else nearby.Swedish specialties, however, remain only a part of the 200 different items Ecklof bakes, from all-American pies to fresh bread, special occasion cakes and favorites for each season. And Ecklof Bakery is also a deli—with counter service and, starting at 6 am, morning coffee to match any pastry.

As for quality, Rick Ecklof is a Certified Master Baker. He explains that industrial, assembly-line baked goods sold in the ‘Big Box’ chain stores is uniform and nutritious enough, but lacks creativity and distinctive, hand-made quality. Ecklof earned his journeyman and Master Baker’s honors in 1987 from the American Institute of Baking in Chicago.

“My wife, Susan, is also a highly qualified cake decorator,” Rick says. Susan crafts the bakery’s

most artistic special cakes and creative baked goods for distinctive occasions and clients throughout the region.

“We run a scratch shop here,” Ecklof says. “It is fascinating, and great fun, to start from scratch—with nothing more than bags of raw ingredients—and fill your cases with fresh, quality goods every day.”

“However, quality costs,” Ecklof says. “But I refuse to change the quality of our products.” Every corner of the food industry, from bakers to butchers and from bistros to breweries has felt the impact of high gas prices. However, the problem is not simply higher delivery costs for ingredients. “The wheat, soy and corn are going into your gas tank,” Ecklof says, “one way or another we’re using food for energy.”

Vast quantities of corn and other food substances are being fermented into ethanol, dislocating every other part of the world-wide human and livestock food resources. “Politicians have no concept of the long range consequences of their actions. They simply do not understand. They’ve disrupted the whole world’s food chain to save us a few cents a gallon at the pump,” Ecklof says.

“Between political misuse of food and poor harvests, national wheat and other reserves are at their lowest point in 50 years,” Ecklof adds. “That raises my costs and cuts into my operating margins.”

“Take cardamom, for instance. Floods in India, where most of it comes from, have boosted the price of a packet from $35 to $150, practically overnight.” Nuts, sugar and shortening have as much as doubled in the last six months. He calls those prices the new cost of quality for all segments of the food industry.

But Rick Ecklof sees a good future for ‘the last Swedish bakery standing’. The bakery will remain a family business. Rick’s eldest son, after nine years in the US Navy, realized he missed the bakery. He came back to civilian life in Jamestown to be the fourth generation of Ecklofs in the business. “He’s already qualified to be qualified as a Master Baker,” Rick says proudly, “and he’ll meet the time requirement for it soon, too.” His younger son is studying marketing in college, which may also someday be an asset to the family business.

Rick Ecklof ’s grandfather arrived from Sweden in the 1920s and settled in Warren, Pennsylvania,

working for the Ideal Bakery. By the 1930s he had moved to Jamestown and founded the Scandia Bakery. Rick’s dad followed in his father’s footsteps opening and running the Ecklof Bakery from 1956 until his death at the age of 43 in 1968.

“I was looking for a job about then, after high school graduation,” Rick recalls. “My dad’s bakers trained me.” After army service interrupted his baking career, he returned to Jamestown. In 1976 he became the full owner of Ecklof Bakery.

Rick Ecklof, a slim and muscular man with a ready smile, says baking is hard work and takes up a lot of hours. A Master Baker needs to be on hand for all the baking. “But since I start my day at 4 am, I can be on the golf course by 2 pm,” he says with a laugh.

“This is a place where I can be me.” Lee Lindeman, Executive Director of the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center—LCLC—quotes countless teens who rediscovered something, sometimes almost everything, about themselves at summer camp on the shores of Chautauqua Lake. “’This is a place where you can be who you really are,’ is a pledge we make to all of our campers.”

In a new environment, far from their usual support systems, young people often find new abilities for leadership and success. One way we do this is by putting campers in situations where they get to communicate verbally, person to person rather than electronically. “Texting and social media can isolate people from each other. Though it seems to be communication, it can be counterfeit for the real thing.” Lindeman’s observation makes sense in light of an April 2010 Pew Internet Research report that 72 percent of teens text 15 times a day and some send as many as 200 text messages every day, or 6,000 in one month.

“But we also have one of the biggest fleets of Hobie cats on Chautauqua Lake,” Lindeman says, “and nearly 3,000 feet of shore line.” Hobies, catamarans and mono-hulls designed for sports and leisure, make sailing and learning to sail one of LCLC’s most popular activities. The most exciting part of sailing, exploring the forest hiking trails or taking the Adventure Course is the chance to make real-life choices and evaluate the consequences, Lindeman says. “Life-sized problem solving, even for little problems, can be life-changing and exciting—and just plain fun—with a whole team of new friends.”

A highlight of the eight different summer programs available at LCLC is the four-week Leaders-In-Training—LIT—Program for senior high school students. LITs, called “lights,” explore the meanings, challenges and rewards of leadership to take back to their communities, schools, homes and churches.

For one young woman, a LIT camper, the camp also became a haven, and later, a mission. During her stay at camp her mother passed away. She had suffered through a long illness that had forced the teen into “parenting” her younger siblings in the absence of their late father. Lindeman vividly recalled her words, the young woman fled from the funeral, directly back to camp, to “the place I feel closest to God in the storm, with friends and counselors who really care.” For many years after that summer she returned as a leader and a counselor to “give back what I got.”

After long summer days of sports and activities an evening bonfire brings the whole camp together. Counselors and campers share “Grace Moments,” insights of a personal, thrilling or a spiritual nature where everyday life and faith merge in practical ways. Lindeman recounts a common “Light Bulb Moment,” a predictable epiphany. After some time without cell phones one or another camper will declare “I don’t know why, but it just feels…different… here. Lindeman says, with a satisfied smile, they are just rediscovering relationships, community and a personal reality where a seed of life’s spiritual values can grow.

At night, a camper’s cabin becomes home. Two counselors, always specially trained college students, and eight to 10 campers make up each group in the average population of 70 campers per week. But cabin life is more than a good night’s sleep. It is a time designed for campers to learn acceptance, independence and leadership.

Lee Lindeman, holding a degree in elementary education, was himself a counselor for five years and has now been a camp director for 20 years. He believes summer camping can be a vital key to growing up in the 21st century. “Camp’s not a throwback. It is a return to community.”

for everyoneThe old Jamestown Swedish Lutheran community, part of the Augustana Synod, started the LCLC in 1936 by renting a bit of Bemus Point woods and lakefront clearings from the Girl Scout camp next door. The plan, whose original spirit and purpose still guide the LCLC, centered around creating a Youth Leadership Development Center. The immediate success and popularity of the Center led the camp directors immediately to buy the original land and begin acquiring adjacent forest and lakefront lots north of the camp in succeeding years.

By the 1960s and ‘70s the camp’s leadership recognized that they could continue to prosper only if the camp also served adults and stayed open all year. An ambitious marketing and building campaign have since transformed the LCLC into a destination of choice for churches, schools, community organizations and businesses, including a high comfort Retreat Center, with professional staff to facilitate the users’ programs. The Retreat Center offers 24 rooms, a main conference room and small break-out rooms, a fireplace lounge and free

internet access.

Wedding receptions or banquets for 200 guests can take advantage of a full-service kitchen and a panoramic Chautauqua Lake view from St. John’s Hall. And the Redeemer Lodge provides a winterized but somewhat more rustic setting , suitable for youth groups and small gatherings, with a spacious meeting area, a kitchen and dorm-style lodging for as many as 28 people.

Summer hiking trails and fields also provide for winter sports, including nearby snowmobiling and cross country skiing. A large picnic pavilion provides facilities for spring and fall outings, including basketball, field games, group challenge courses, reunions and even old fashioned campfires.

To find out more about the Lake Chautauqua Lutheran Center, tour the facilities at 5013 Route 430, Bemus Point, New York, 14712, call 716-386-4125, log on to www.lclcenter.org or [email protected]. Or ask a friend. Most readers probably know somebody who knows somebody with fond memories of summer camp on Lake Chautauqua.

I object to the lack of concern shown by thoughtless driv-ers without physical problems, those not hurting, when they occupy a handicap parking spot. I recently saw a car without a handicapped hanger on the rear view mirror parked in the handicapped spot in front of a super mar-ket. I took a picture and showed it to the store manager. The response was, “Not my problem. That’s the plaza owner’s responsibility.” I could not talk to that owner and I haven’t gone back to that grocery store for my weekly shopping. Weather, parking lot resurfacing and other changes can make “Handicapped Parking” signs hard to see. This is a good time to remind store owners of the handicap laws and that their customers might get fined $105*. The police department or building code officer should cite the store or plaza owner if the marking or sign aren’t kept visible.

*Note: According to the Jamestown Parking Violations Bu-reau the fine for unauthorized use of a handicap parking spot is $105. If unpaid after 10 business days, it goes to $150 and after 20 business days to $225. Readers who spot a violation can contact a parking violation officer or call the Parking Violations Bureau at 483-7512, they can send an officer to ticket the car.

Paying Highest PricesFor Your Gold, Silver & Coins

GOLD AND SILVER EXCHANGE

Submited by Fern Bertch

Every once in a while, during the course of a busy day, we come across an individual who - just by doing their job to the best of their ability - makes an impression. Maybe it’s a waitress who treats you like you’re the only customer she has (even though the place is packed), or the stock boy at the grocery store who volunteers to help lift that heavy cat litter bag into the cart.

Whenever I’m fortunate enough to meet one of the workers, I can’t help but wonder, “Do they know?” Has anyone told them what a difference they’ve made? Do they know that these days - when it seems like indifference to good customer service is more the norm than the exception - they’ve stood out from crowd?

A few months ago, I waited in a very long line for coffee at a local coffee house. The workers behind the counter were struggling to keep up with the never-ending influx of caffeine-deprived early-morning customers. These are people that haven’t had their coffee yet. Don’t mess with them. As my turn at the order counter came up, I was close enough to notice that the older female patron in front of me was particularly fussy about her order - lots of special requests, lots of questions, a little impatient and rude, and then - God forbid - she thought she might have a nickel in the bottom of her enormous-sized purse so she wouldn’t have to get 95 cents back in change. It was at this point that I wondered if the trainee behind the counter would attack. She was new. She looked tough. I figured she was young enough to be of the “screw the good customer service” mindset and actually do the customer physical harm. I figured if push came to shove, I’d have to help out… I mean, how tough could the ol’ lady be? I think between the two of us we could take her (remember: I hadn’t had my caffeine yet)!

To my surprise, the young trainee was extremely patient and kind. She answered all the lady’s questions, repeated her order back slowly and clearly, and walked the order out to the lady’s table so she wouldn’t have to get up. The trainee then went back to her hectic station and waited on probably a thousand people that day. She probably screwed up at some point - got something wrong - lost her composure. She probably made it through that whole day without knowing how wonderful she was. That moment. That customer. String a bunch of those together, and she’ll have herself a pretty good reputation as worker.

Several weeks later, I made it a point to tell her how impressed I was with what I saw that day. She looked like she could use a little encouragement. I’m happy to say my special trainee is still working at that busy coffeehouse. Some come, some go. I think she’ll stick around for a while.

As any Mom knows, the first words spoken by your children when you walk in the door at the end of the day are NOT “Hi, Mom! How was your day?” Oh, no. The first words I hear are “When is Supper? I’m starving to death!” Since I spend my day cooking, when I get home I really want to get away from the kitchen for a few minutes…just long enough to regain my senses and remember my name!! I usually can’t even think of what is in the fridge and cupboard at that point, let alone come up with an instant fabulous meal. This is when one of my very favorite pieces of cooking equipment gets my undying appreciation…my crockpot!!!

I firmly believe the inventor of the crock pot (or any similar slow-cooker) deserves a big hug. Imagine, walking in the door and having

instant dinner! All you need to do is set the table and call the troops in. The crock pot is such a versatile tool, too. It’s not just soups, stews and pot roast any more. From Meatloaf burgers and lemon-thyme chicken to black and blue cobbler and chocolate pudding cake the possibilities are endless.

Crock pots come in a variety of shapes and sizes; many have cook timers and different heat settings, and most have removable ceramic pots to go directly to the table. Another wonderful invention is the crock pot liner bag (from Reynolds Wrap). This is a heat resistant plastic bag which lines the crock to make clean up a breeze. No more scrapping cooked on goo! And my favorite part of slow cooking is I don’t have to think about supper at the last minute.

A few words of caution regarding slow cooking, however. While most food can be safely cooked slowly, it isn’t recommended to cook a whole chicken or small turkey this way (poultry pieces work fine, as they cook quicker). The reason for this is because of the possibility for bacteria growth within the poultry during the early cooking process. The temperature in a crock pot rises slowly, unlike and oven, therefore the chicken spends more time in the temperature “danger-zone” than is safe. Also, unexpected loss of power can really screw up dinner! If the power goes off while your meal is cooking, some units will not go back on when the power resumes. I always check the internal temperature of my meats to be sure they are cooked to a safe temperature.

Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add the molasses and vanilla and mix well. Sift 2 cups of the flour with the cinnamon, ginger, soda and salt and add to the wet ingredients. Continue to add flour and water alternately until dough is very stiff. Chill, roll and bake at 350° for 10 -12 minutes. Finger should leave just a slight imprint when done. Fair warning – the recipe makes a ton of themMy grandfather was born in 1902 in a tiny town in Maine. He was orphaned at age 12 and his uncles and grandfather took him into the woods with them to the lumber camps that they worked at. Here at age 12 , he worked as the cook’s assistant. It was here that he first learned to baked Molasses cookies. He continued to bake them all his life and we always told him that his were better than Grammie’s. (They really were) We loved them warm from the oven with a big glass of milk. I still bake them for the family reunions. Much time has passed and we only have 2 members of that generation still living. However, getting together and reminiscing about “the old days” is wonderful and gives us the chance to share the stories with the younger generations.

She’s going to talk about soil again. Ahhh! I know what you’re going to say, “Not Soil again, I just want to garden!” Well yes I am. I’ve been asked every year to speak on soil, compost and fertilizer at the Garden Information day in the spring at the Cooperative Extension in Erie County. I must be doing it right or the Master Gardeners wouldn’t ask me back every year. It’s either that or no one else wants to talk about it…boring! But I don’t think so. I love soil and I get excited about Compost, Black Gold. The earthy smell intoxicates me.

I cannot stress enough on the importance of building the foundation for your garden. Sally Cunningham, my mentor used to correct us if you said “I was digging in the dirt”. “No”, Sally would say. “Dirt is something you sweep off the floor, it’s not what we plant in”. That statement has always stuck with me.

Healthy soil creates healthy plants and Compost is the solution to balancing most any type of garden soil from clay to sandy soil. But let’s take it one step further and talk about the PH of your soil. It’s a good idea to have your soil PH tested to determine the types of plants that can grow in your soil or if modification is necessary.

ok now the science…. soil ph A Ph Scale ranges from 0 to 14. 0 being very acidic to 14 being very alkaline. Neutral is 6.6 to 7.3 on the scale. Before a nutrient can be used by a plant it must be dissolved in the soil solution. Most minerals or nutrients are more soluble or available in slightly acidic soils than in neutral or slightly alkaline soils. Plants, such as your vegetables and flowers grow the best and are able to take up nutrients and minerals from the soil when the PH is at 6.0 to 7.0 (this range is slightly acidic to neutral)

If the soil is too acidic, a range of 5.9 down to 4.5 or less, Lime can be added to the garden soil to increase the PH.

Please do not assume that you need lime in your soil without first doing a PH test.

So now get out there and go dig in the soil and as Sally says, “NO MORE DIGGING IN THE DIRT”!

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is

your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” and from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

John 19:26-27

As Jesus was hanging on a cross mere moments from death he looked out and saw a familiar sight- his mother standing at his side. Jesus’ mother, the ultimate “helicopter mom”, did not abandoned her son. Rather, in his hour of pain and death she stood nearby. She hovered, that her son might not be alone. And Jesus, looking out and seeing his mother and the disciple he loved, with a dying breath gives his mother a new son and the disciple a new mother.

This dying act proves what we already know: Moms matter... to children, to disciples, to Jesus, to God.

moms mAtter, we Give thAnks for moms AnD All women who offer motherly cAre.

We give thanks for moms like Mary. Moms who may not have all the answers and can’t always bail their sons out of trouble, but who never cease pouring out love and affection, who remain a constant presence in the lives of their children. We give thanks for all the moms out there who watch over their children with love and stand by their sides at all times. This world is a better place because of these inspirational women who challenge their children, offer support, wipe tears and give strength. Thank you moms, you really do matter.

So whether you’ve got a helicopter mom, a stay at home mom, a grand-mom, a soccer mom, a step mom, or a working mom take a moment to say thanks, because Moms matter.

Dear God,

Thanks for moms. Bless our mothers and all who give motherly care. Build strong bonds and tender affections in families and friendships.

In Jesus’ name...

amen

Thanks Moms,

Pastor Scott

Lunches and Dinner

This week our group decided to lunch at Cooper’s Cyber Café & Deli located in the Arts Block on Third and Pine Streets. The area on the east side of Third beginning at Taco Hut and heading west includes the following restaurants: Mariner’s Pier Express, Forté, Cooper’s, Jones 212 Bakery and Cafe, Town Club and MacDuff ’s and is becoming known as a center for arts and good food. Arts are abundant there with Infinity Performing and Visual Arts Center on one side and the Reg Lenna Civic Center, Arts Council for Chautauqua County, WRFA-LP 107.9 FM Radio for the Arts, Chautauqua Regional Youth Orchestra, MediaWorks, Reg Studio Theater and now the new Literary Trail. There is excitement on this side of town due to the cluster of these arts and dining locations and Cooper’s adds to the vibe.

As we push the glass doors open and lower our umbrellas (yes, it is raining yet again) we see almost every table occupied in the eclectic urban-style restaurant. According to www.great-home-decorating.com, decorating in an urban style means it should be uncluttered and spacious. This is the feeling you get as you walk in and sit at one of the tables or overstuffed chairs. A playful collection of clocks pepper the restaurant walls.

Patrons obtain menus in a bin by the cash register where you place your order. Almost every entree is named for a breed of our canine friends, in fact Cooper is (or was) the name of the family pet. I have to admit, the first time I ordered I felt a little funny ordering a Poodle as I would never eat a curly furred four-legged creature. But at Cooper’s a “Poodle” is “Meatballs in a marinara sauce served on a long roll with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.” Yum!

Some of the more frugal of the group sincerely enjoy the fact that tips are not encouraged for servers, but Cooper’s gratefully accepts donations for the Humane Society in a box on the counter. Also, there is a display in the restaurant showing “man’s best friends” for adoption from the Humane Society. I’m surprised we didn’t leave with at least one of us making a call right from our table as we are all dog-lovers and those faces are hard to resist.

The group places their orders for a bowl of chili, a Pug on white (grilled portabella mushroom, tomato, buffalo mozzarella, balsamic vinaigrette), Boxer on wheat (roast beef, chipotle pesto, lettuce, tomato, onion and Swiss cheese) and a Saluki (chicken salad with walnuts and cranberries). With the sandwiches we had a choice of chips, macaroni salad, pasta salad or a small salad. The macaroni salad is absolutely scrumptious and not

quite like how mom used to make it – thank goodness! Extreme discipline keeps us from ordering the alluring desserts displayed in the front case. All give thumbs up on their lunches and award the restaurant a high rating of 4 forks.

Cooper’s offers breakfast and recently began “Cooper’s After Dark”, meaning they now serve dinner. Our group needs to make sure we return as we understand the restaurant transforms into another dining establishment for the evening. Also, Cooper’s offers adult beverages of wine and beer.

You can find Cooper’s at 102 East 3rd Street in Jamestown. The phone is 716-338-0344 and the website is www.cooperscybercafe.com. They are open Monday from 8:30 a.m. To 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. On Saturdays they are open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Check it out. It’s well-worth your time, money and waistline.

The Four Discriminate Diners are a group of friends who get together nearly every weekend to enjoy food, laughter and friendship. Exclusive to the Jamestown Gazette – the Peoples’ Paper, this monthly review examines dining establishments in and around the Chautauqua County Area. Our plan is to remain anonymous, to ensure we find the restaurants and servers as they are normally.

Patriotism has been pumping through America’s veins ever since the news broke of Osama Bin Laden’s death.

Word of the terrorist’s death caused rumblings of emotions that first erupted within America’s gut on September 11, 2001. This past week has allowed us to revisit some fiery emotions that may have died down over the past ten years.

After Osama’s death was revealed, fans at the Mets vs. Phillies game belted out chants of USA, paralleling the sight of fans unable to hide their emotions at sporting events after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. This brought me back to the many memorable images of players and fans alike that helped to tell America’s story after the attack on the twin towers in New York City.

While looking back on the events of September 11th, I realized that those feelings of patriotism and unity are tightly mirrored in fans feelings of belonging and loyalty to a sports team. Fans are loyal to their teams, love their teams and support their teams just like they do their country.

Sports have the unique ability to extract the same kind of emotions and reactions out of people as matters that have to do with their country. Think of the rollercoaster of emotions that fans experience while rooting for their teams; from the lowest of lows to ultimate highs. Fans despise the other side while they will root for their beloved team no matter what.

It’s kind of embarrassing, really; that a silly game can be taken that seriously and have that big of an influence on people?

Actually, I believe that the beauty of sports is the effect that it has on people. It taps into a person’s truest emotions and this love of competition has been groomed into the human psyche since the Coliseum of Ancient Rome.

We have grown up playing and watching the sports we love. It seems like life wouldn’t be the same if those sports were taken away. When our country’s security is threatened like it was on 9/11, we realize the insignificance of everyday worries along with the enormous amount of importance we place on meaningless things.

Yes, “it’s only a game”, but what would it be like without that game?

America’s freedoms allow us to participate in and be spectators to sports. Competition has become such a huge part of our culture that sport helps to define the American way of life. It is intertwined with who we are as a nation, and without it America wouldn’t be the same.

Events like 9/11 give us the opportunity to take a good account of our blessings and appreciate the things that we take for granted. It is during those times that I reflect on America’s enjoyment of pure competition and realize that I have been raised on it from playing in little league to watching the pro’s at the ballpark.

The NFL Draft comes around once every year. However, this year’s draft unfortunately was almost cancelled due to the potential lockout of the players. Luckily for football fans all over the world the draft went on as scheduled resulting in some interesting picks and some rather predictable selections as well. With the first overall pick the Carolina Panthers didn’t surprise anyone by taking Auburn Quarterback Cam Newton. The second overall pick went to the Denver Broncos and they added the agile linebacker from Texas A&M, Von Miller. Then finally with potentially the best draft pick in years, the Buffalo Bills selected Marcell Dareus. Dareus is a 319 pound defensive lineman from Alabama. The Buffalo Bills finally drafted players that were absolutely necessary to better the team, resulting in one of the best drafts for them in years. They did not reach for players they believed had the potential to be a good NFL player in a few years. They drafted players that can start immediately and make an impact very quickly on many points on the field. However, with the potential of a lockout this year the players in the draft must still be thinking, “Am I really going to play this year?” For the players selected this year, get into the weight room, into NFL shape and learn the respective team’s playbook so come September, if there is a season, they can be at their best. One may think that the Bills did not address their quarterback situation but, do they really need to address it? The Buffalo Bills have other positions that need more attention than the Quarterback position. They have shown that they can win with Ryan Fitzpatrick, last year they were 4-12. They need a lot of help on defensive side of the ball, and they did that in this year’s draft. The selections of Marcell Dareus, Aaron Williams, and Kelvin Sheppard show that the Bills are already thinking ahead to the playoffs next year and about the emphasis on defense. Aaron Williams, who played cornerback at Texas, in arguably one of the toughest conferences in the country, the Big 12, was drafted as cornerback for the Buffalo Bills. Kelvin Sheppard who played linebacker at LSU is no stranger to high energy football so I believe he will fit nicely into the “new look” defense the Bills started to put together this week in the draft. Finally, for these draft picks to pan out for the Bills, the coaching staff must work a lot with these young men to make sure the transition to the NFL is as smooth as possible. The Bills coaching staff must use this momentum from the draft and start Dareus, Williams, and Sheppard in the game as soon as possible. They should start teaching them the way they should play to make it in the NFL and further their sports career with the Buffalo Bills.
