The Garden as Art
Gardens Make a Statement Mid July .. Pg. 9
Sue Seamans Retires as Director of Falconer Library
By Sharon Witchey
By Ann-Marie Gariepy
Much has been in the news lately about the stewardship of Chautauqua Lake. Towns, villages, an Institution and not-for-profit groups have signed a Memorandum of Understanding about the care of the Lake; yet, stewardship also includes the people who choose to navigate a particular lake by motorized watercraft. In 2018, eight thousand boats were inspected for the purpose of preventing the transmission of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) at seven sites around Lake Tahoe. Fifty-six percent of those inspections were failures and required decontamination. Since 2008, mandatory inspections have stopped AIS from entering Lake Tahoe. In an article published on May 24, 2019 in The Tahoe Daily Tribune, credit was given to the boating community for its cooperation in keeping AIS out of the lake. Why are boat inspections with the goal
I read a lot. And I mean A LOT. As most voracious readers and I can attest to, there is someone who sparked in us and planted the seed of the joy of reading. And then like a gardener, we cultivated, fed and nurtured that joy until it grew into something much bigger than ourselves. Reading became more than just words on pages bound in a book. It was a relationship earthed in a shared love of stories, education and the ability to go anywhere you wanted in the world and beyond, just by turning the pages. I refer to these extraordinary people as “Touchstones”, exemplar guides, sharing in the benchmarks of your reading careers. From picture book and first readers to the great classics and beyond, these remarkable people are with you every step of the way. Those to whom I bestow such praise and respect upon are our local Librarians. I recently had the pleasure of a

Shari Grice: Inspiring Personal Growth By Judy Shuler
Particularly at this time of mid July the gardens really start to make a statement. All of a sudden it is all coming into it’s own maturity of dimension and of course colour. It’s fun to speak of colour in the garden because it is the main ingredient for sensation and attractiveness!

When you purchase a fractional ownership in a condominium unit, the owners can utilize their unit just like a second home for up to nine weeks per year, including two to three weeks in each season. It will be just like buying a vacation home with partners without any financial co-entanglement. Each owner owns every sixth week forever, so you
grit, and compunction. Born in the Dunkirk/Fredonia area, McGraw has been on the road for twenty years or more, and, he says, “I get back about every other month. My mother still lives in Fredonia. I was supposed to play on the Pier in Dunkirk last month but the weather didn’t cooperate. My band “The James” and I are playing at Merritt Estate Winery for their Fall Fest in September.” He says he has always been a performer. “I jumped up on a countertop and sang “Hitchin a Ride” when I was 5. I started playing Trombone when I was eight. I really don’t know what it’s like to not to live and breathe music. I always have.” McGraw has written and performed songs for television and movies and toured with some of the biggest names in country music like Toby Keith in 2009. And though he might argue the point, he’s got one of those natural voices that never hit a bad note. It’s a tonal quality,

“Blue Mind” Final Evening Exhibit Leaves the 3rd on 3rd Gallery, July 20
Jamestown YWCA recently named recipients of their 22nd annual Women of Achievement awards: Diana Butcher, Linnea Carlson, Shari Grice, Gaylene Lindell and Mary Maxwell. This is the third of their weekly profiles. Shari Grice received the Mentorship/Education/Training Award. It is given to a woman who inspires others with her passion for personal growth, development and lifelong learning. The recipient must develop innovative programs through education, employee training or community education. It was a Christian mission trip that inspired Grice. A friend from a church she once attended told Grice about the New York School of Urban Ministry and encouraged her to attend. The program was the ministry’s Extreme Makeover Weekend. She felt it was doable since she still worked full-time, and she went on a weekend mission to New York City in May of 2014. It changed her life. Grice was among some 250 women who came from throughout the country to participate. They went to a
The “Blue Mind” art exhibit currently showing at 3rd on 3rd Gallery in Reg Lenna Center for The Arts will end its run with a closing artists reception and two lectures Sat., July 20 at 7 pm.

Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy’s Jane Conroe will discuss the aesthetics of protecting the watershed. Several of the participating artists are expected to be in attendance. “Blue Mind” is an exhibit that features art that celebrates the beauty and joy of water in all its forms. Artist Karen Glosser created the exhibit. Blue Mind

Did You Know:
Swimming
Swimming Is the 4th Most Popular Activity in the United States
According to statistics, 36 percent of children aged 7 to 17 years, and 15 percent of adults go swimming at least six times annually in the United States. People do not just swim in pools, about 91 million people over the age of 16 swim in oceans, lakes, and rivers each year in the United States.
Weekly Column By, Donna Germain Did you know ..? I know the weather is really hot and we are looking to jump in that refreshing pool. Maybe you just want to relax in that hot tub after work regardless of the heat. There are over 10.4 million residential and 309,000 public swimming pools in the United States according to the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP). It may not be as relaxing as you think if you’re a germ freak. There are so many germs lurking in those waters that are causing infectious diseases. Swimming is actually the fourth mostpopular sport or activity in the United States. Swimming can be a fun activity that offers a totalbody workout, is easier on the joints, increases flexibility, and can be enjoyed at any age—from toddlers to seniors. While it’s most often associated with summer,
swimming is actually a physical activity in which you can participate any time of the year if an indoor pool is available or you live in an area where the weather stays warm enough to use your outdoor pool year all year. With temperatures rising everyone looks around for the friend with the pool. The next best bet: a local club or community pool. According to statistics, 36 percent of children aged 7 to 17 years, and 15 percent of adults go swimming at least six times annually in the United States. People do not just swim in pools, about 91 million people over the age of 16 swim in oceans, lakes, and rivers each year in the United States. The five states that have the highest number of above ground pool sales and installations are: California, Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Illinois. California, Florida, Texas, Arizona, New York report having the most in-ground pools. Swimming has

81st Westfield Antique Show At Eason Hall In Westfield, July 20th & 21st, Times Vary
WESTFIELD, N.Y. – The Annual Westfield Antique Show, sponsored by the Chautauqua County Historical Society, will be celebrating its 81st consecutive year in 2019 and just like in past years, there’s going to be a wide variety of items on display and available for sale. This year’s Antique Show will be held Saturday, July 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 21 from 11 am to 4 pm at Eason Hall (23 Elm St., Westfield, NY). The event
will feature antique furniture, dinning sets, glassware, silver, jewelry and much more. Over 20 different dealers will be in attendance. The Westfield Antique Show has its origin dating back to 1938, when Doc and Edis Shelkey organized the first ever event in Westfield. The two were well-known local antique dealers during that era and the event was so well attended they decided to hold it each year. Since then the show has become an annual

mist nets, weigh, measure, and identify them, fit them with a uniquely numbered band, and then set them free. If the weather is too harsh for the safety of the birds, the nets will not be open and an alternate date will be chosen. This is the ninth year that Audubon has participated in the continent-wide MAPS (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) birdbanding program. Data gathered during these sessions help bird scientists understand more about bird species locally and beyond. Since 1989, more than 1,200 MAPS stations in nearly every state and Canadian province have collected over two million bird capture records. For more information on the national MAPS program, visit birdpop.org/pages/ maps.php. Plan to take some pictures, but please: no dogs or other pets. Emily Perlock, wildlife tech instructor at Penn State DuBois, oversees the research. Perlock has been banding birds since 2007, holds a Master Banding permit, and is a certified bander through the North American Banding Council. While not necessary to enjoy the demonstrations, you may want to bring bird guides and binoculars
if you have them, and remember to dress for the weather. Plan to listen closely to the scientists and follow their instructions carefully, as safety of the birds is the priority. Come to the picnic pavilion on the west side of the Audubon property at 1600 Riverside Road, just east of Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren. Look for a “Bird Banding” sign at the entrance closer to Route 62. Drive right in and park on the grass. Bird banding is supported in part by the Northern Allegheny Conservation Association. Audubon offers these demonstrations to the public free of charge, but donations are greatly appreciated. The Nature Center building and Blue Heron Gift Shop hours are 10 am - 4:30 pm MondaySaturday, and Sundays 1-4:30 pm. More than five miles of trails and Bald Eagle viewing are open dawn to dusk daily. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or visit auduboncnc.org. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

Many purchasers have found that they can own fractional ownership for less than their annual expense to rent 7-10 nights per year and receive an incredibly high quality experience packed with 4 star amenities and services. Your deeded fractional ownership can be passed down through the generations of your family. Jim and Sally Webb presented the original idea for the resort, to the Mayville village government in 1998. However, a major update to the infrastructure along State Route 394 had to be done and it halted construction for a while. They removed old railroad tracks and brick streets, necessitating new water and sewer lines, a project that was finished in 2004. The Webbs, now including their son Ben Webb, reintroduced the project for a renewed approval in 2015. The Webb family is a long-time staple in Mayville’s history owning businesses in the area for 76 years. Currently they own the popular Webb’s Captain’s Table restaurant, a motel, and a candy store and are regarded as upstanding citizens of Mayville. Jim Webb believes The Lodge at Chautauqua Lake

will be his family’s greatest accomplishment to date. I spoke with Terry Elsemore who is spearheading the sales and marketing efforts for the long-anticipated resort. Elsemore said that he is very excited to be working on the Lodge project with the Webb family who have worked tirelessly to make this dream luxury resort possible. Mr. Elsemore has made his home in Southern Maine for the past 16 years and he specializes in project design, sales and marketing, legal documentation, and development planning and project management on behalf of his company Fractional Strategies Inc. This is his sixth project in New York State including his work on Holiday Valley’s Tamarack Club, which also offers fractional ownership, as will The Lodge at Chautauqua Lake. He has been involved with 21 other condo/hotel projects ranging from: The Kaatskill Mountain Club and Hunter Mountain Resort, in Hunter NY, the Jackson Gore Inn at Okemo Mountain Resort, Ludlow, Vermont, and The Jordan Grand Hotel in Sunday River, Maine. During his long tenure he has been involved with the development of over 90% of the existing fractional projects in the Northeast today.

that sweetness. It can’t be taught. And sometimes there’s a songwriter who after all the bars and gin joints on the road, hangs tight to what’s in his heart and what he believes is right. Those beliefs show up as great songs. McGraw’s songs not only tell a story but also tap into our better selves. Songs like “On the Front Porch of America” and “Jesus Had Two Daddies” are songs like that. Such songs speak to us with melody, chords, and heart. “On the Front Porch of America,” a cut from his East Side Songs (CD release date 2017), is about the strife in America today and how we have divided into different camps. “What makes us different is what makes us strong, / Might be in different keys, but we’re singing the same song.” It reminds us of the millions of immigrants who came to America as “The huddled masses, the tired and the poor, for 500 years we have sailed to these shores/ With just the clothes on our backs, and the
Steward
dream of something more…” Similarly, “Jesus Had Two Daddies” is an anthem for tolerance and compassion with lines like “The prince of peace, the very king of kings, it all comes down to pretty much one thing, you’ve got to love your neighbor, be generous and kind. Jesus had two daddies, and he turned out just fine. The best songs merge melody and language seamlessly. Songs like these do that. His songs were not always full of such reflection, and some of them hint to rocky times. He confesses, “I wrote some really dumb songs a long time ago to try and get on Country Radio and I’ve penned a few real cheesy things for a Hallmark movie or two to pay my bills, but my last couple CD’s have been mostly songs with observations about what’s going on in the world. I mean “Jesus Had Two Daddy’s” is about tolerance, as is “Front Porch of America.” “Generation Greed” and “Way That Never Was” are downright political...I really loathe lowest common denominator/ pandering music. I’ve done it, I regret it, and I’d rather not be known for it.”
As an artist, he relates, “I’m still striving to improve my craft as a songwriter. I made country records when that Cont.

There is no fee for the and dedication. Pursue your inspection or decontamination at Lake George. passion!” The fees to implement the
program at Lake George are split between the New York State Environmental Protection Fund and local partnerships. There is a registration fee to launch a boat on Lake George for any boat having a motor of 10 hp or greater. This fee ranges from $12 for a one-day registration to $40 or more dependent upon the length of time on the lake, the size of the boat, and the equipment on the boat. A sticker is issued when the registration fee is paid. The money collected from the annual registration fees support the Lake George Park Trust Fund. In simple terms, prevention begins with the words CLEAN/ DRAIN/ DRY. The New York State DEC revised regulations at state boat launching facilities on June 4, 2014 to include removing any animal or plant parts attached to any boat equipment or gear and draining watercraft including bilge areas, live wells, bait wells and ballast tanks before entering and leaving a launch site. An inspection program takes the revised DEC regulations a step further by engaging and teaching boaters how to inspect and clean their own
equipment and educating them as to why these actions are necessary besides preventing the launch of a contaminated boat. If boaters successfully monitor their own equipment, the time spent in an inspection queue is minimal. Boats that are only used at Lake George and whose seals are intact do not have to be inspected again. Wire seals are placed through the bow ring of a boat and are attached to the boat’s trailer after inspection at one of seven inspection sites, confirmed at a launch site and reapplied after exiting the lake. Boats that travel from one body of water to another must be reinspected. Decontamination involves flushing a boat with 140-degree water to kill any organisms.

Cont. From Cover reunion with my Touchstone after nearly 30 years. There were tears and hugs and reminiscing. Growing up in a small town, the library directly behind my house, I spent countless hours rummaging, reading and checking out piles of books to take home. It was the first place I was allowed to go on my own. I paid nearly a daily visit to a place that became a sort of second home to me. In Falconer, NY Sue Seamans filled that role for the Falconer Public Library for 44 years. Quietly retiring from the place where she connected with so many people was emotional for Sue. I could hear it in her voice when we spoke at length about her time as Director at the library. Previously a teacher in Brocton, NY and a librarian there as well, a flip of a coin sealed the move of Sue and her husband to Falconer and changed her life forever. The little library, which was founded in the early 1900’s by the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, grew immeasurably over the years. The Falconer Public Library is unique in that it is housed and funded by the government
Volume 3 ~ Issue 30
and library patrons through grants, donations and post humus gifts. Because of this designation no private fund raising events can be had. With the wonderful repertoire she and her staff had with the community of Falconer Sue was able to make connections with people who believed in growth. The first library in the area to have a fax machine and be fully air conditioned was exciting. In 1989 the library began hosting band concerts in the town, which have always been well attended. The library is also home to a rich local Historian room. Reading Club’s were formed. These “Stellar Moments” as they were titled by Sue were just a part of setting and attaining “proactive and realistic” objectives for the library’s community outreach. “Helping people beyond what you would normally do.” was the goal she said. From helping a patron find their niche in the library world to being the stable, soft spot for the little girl who’s parents were going through a divorce- all the familiar faces at the Falconer Library welcome all through their doors. “The library is full of great book and great people and holds a wonderful sense of community, integrity and history”, relayed Sue. The Falconer library was listed
as one of the Top Libraries in the United States in 2000 and having their director as one of only 28 honored Librarians in the United States in 2004. “Things just started changing (for the better)” she commented. People started coming to the library in droves. Circulation increased. Things were better than ever and continue to be moving onward and upward. She taught her staff to represent themselves well and use their tongues kindly (with patrons). So why would she want to leave? “It was time,” she said with such a compassionate tone in her voice. “You have to live your life everyday.” And that is exactly what she is doing. Not stepping completely away from her need to provide the community with books on which to feast, she currently holds the position of Outreach Coordinator for the library. With a trunk full of books she refers to herself as “Sugar Plum Deliveries” and facilitates book borrowing at adult day centers, assisted living communities and residential campuses locally. “The Falconer Library is a gem and a gift to many.” Sue said thoughtfully as we wrapped up our conversation. I can say with utmost certainty after meeting her that in the eyes of the community of Falconer, it is she that is the gem.
