Veteran of Two Wars Shares Adventures & Untold Truths
The JOURNAL in the title of the local newspaper, POSTJOURNAL, refers to a publication having an unbroken existence since its founding in1826. The first settlers had come to the area early in1800. A census at that time listed numerous mills, manufactories and small shops supplying residents’ needs. At this time the leaders of the village, regretting the absence of a school or library, agreed that a newspaper would provide both education and culture. The Jamestown Journal was born. Abner Hazeltine, member of a prominent village family, a lawyer, teacher, and legislator had charge of all arrangements. He found Adolphus Fletcher, an unemployed printer who had learned the trade back in Massachusetts to be the Editor. This fortunate choice gave the new venture professionalism and stability. Fletcher remained as Editor for twenty years. See “JOURNAL” Page 11

We have been so fortunate with our applicants this year that we have many applications on a waiting list.” Hanson has been making jewelry for over 20 years. Her shop, The Creative Mind, is located right in Bemus Point at 3958 Barton Ave. The boutique features “unique one of a kind items that are created by myself and my husband.” That is the beauty of The Stir of Artists: See “ARTISTS” Page 10

Marking the 50th anniversary year of their firing by CBS, Tom and Dick Smothers reflected on their career, their landmark TV show “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” comedy and censorship, and the importance of the First Amendment – both See “BROTHERS” Page 11

OH BEHAVE!
The Mannerhausens Present Free Family-Friendly Event, August 10 at Reg Direct from New York City, a new family musical, “OH BEHAVE! with The Mannerhausens”, is making waves by creating “Ambassadors of Kindness”. Zany British sisters, Eddy and Kit Mannerhausen, teach manners, social etiquette and kindness in a one-of-a-kind hilarious way! It’s like having Mary Poppins and Mrs. Doubtfire all rolled into one! In this day and age, Eddy and Kit feel everyone can use "a reminder to be kinder". Co-creator and star, Jamestown native Leah Gerstel, is over the moon with excitement and pride to be returning home to perform at the NCC’s 2019 Lucille Ball Comedy Fest! A fun fact: Leah wore an original Lucy costume and had the honor of performing for Lucy Arnaz as part of the rededication of The Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown in 1991. Leah credits her experiences performing with The Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown, their Jr. Guilders and her talented and supportive family with the inspiration to pursue a career in the arts. Her entire family has a deep connection to the Jamestown theater community: her late mother, MaryJane Gerstel, created brilliant original choreography for The Lucille Ball Little Theater, LBLTJ Jr. Guilders, and Jamestown High School, and her aunt and uncle, Irene and Bob Terreberry continue to write, direct and perform in the area. This gift of a rich arts foundation and a strong moral compass led to teaching and creating the production company, The Drama Ladies. Their distinctive brand of “entertrainment” mixes cutting edge behavioral techniques with theater and allows them to “hide the
peas in the applesauce”, making learning so outrageously fun, it sticks! The company searches for ways to create community connection, by encouraging people to “take a look around you, see what people need,” thereby creating a positive, lasting impact on a global scale. The Drama Ladies duo, Leah Gerstel and Megan MacKenzie Lawrence, became fast friends while performing in Point Park University productions in Pittsburgh. They shared a creative brain and zany sense of humor which allowed them to work amazingly well together. Years later, they found themselves honing their unique teaching style at numerous renowned NYC institutions. After a decade of shaping young minds through drama and ”entertrainment”, they started to notice a shift in behavior- “social climate change” was becoming a real issue in the classroom, the city and the world. They found themselves living in a world claiming to be “connected” through technology and social media, but in reality, possibly more disconnected than ever before. The Mannerhausens were born of a need to address this lack of social awareness, manners and kindness they were witnessing on a shockingly large scale. Their goal is for kids to acquire a set of tools to be able to navigate everyday social scenarios at a young age, setting them up for a lifetime of success: kinder kids, kinder world. Since introducing OH BEHAVE! With The Mannerhausens to a wider audience, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. As kids absorb, retain and pass along the messaging, kindness is catching on! Grownups are
Parents! Summer “NO’s” got you down?! Nag no more! “The Wonder Women of Manners”, Eddy & Kit Mannerhausen, are here to save the day! Treat the fabulous kids in your life to “OH BEHAVE! with The Mannerhausens” at The National Comedy Center’s Lucille Ball Comedy Fest, Saturday, August 10th at 11am. It’s not be missed! The best part is, it’s as easy as 1,2... FREE!
thrilled that topics that are sometimes hard to address with their kids are presented in a manner that encourages open dialog, topics such as: diversity, bullying, empathy, emotions, gratitude and healthy technology use. The show is an interactive 60 minutes, with sing-along songs that allow Eddy and Kit to prove that "Learning manners can be fun and manners are for everyone!" Perfect for ages 5-10 and guaranteed fun for the whole family! For more show info and music to sing along to, visit themannerhausens.com The Reg Lenna Civic Center is located at 116 East Third Street in Jamestown, NY.

Rolling Hills Radio at the Institution Annual Summer Show Arrives On August 4th
Top: Christine Lavin, Bottom: The Farmer & Adele
Jamestown, NY (July 22, 2019) – Rolling Hills Radio will present its annual show on the Amphitheater stage in Chautauqua Institution Sunday, August 4. Christine Lavin and The Farmer & Adele will be the guests on this nationally syndicated radio show.
Christine Lavin is a singer/ songwriter/guitarist/recording artist/author/videographer who has been working as a musician based in New York City since 1984. She just released her 23rd solo album, which charted at #5 for the month of September 2017 on the International FolkDJ charts. The Farmer & Adele are reimaging the modern cowboy/cowgirl while respecting its beginnings. Based out of Nashville, TN, The Farmer & Adele – led by Grace Adele and Keenan Wade – leads the pack of a new wave of musicians revitalizing western swing music. “Being on this venerable stage is at once an honor and very natural for what we do,” said Ken Hardley, host and executive producer of Rolling Hills Radio. “Our format and the musicians we bring to the stage harken to a different era in many ways, an era in which music like we will present in Chautauqua thrived.” Rolling Hills Radio is a celebration of American music with a format that was popular in the middle of the last century. Artists perform songs and participate in interviews

with Hardley onstage in front of a live studio audience. The show is a nationally syndicated radio show, a video version of which is available on a limited number of television stations and the “Rolling Hills Radio with Ken Hardley” YouTube channel. While Rolling Hills is normally recorded during its regular season in front of a limited audience of 75-120 people in Jamestown, NY, on August 4 the popular show opens up to whomever would like to attend, and this one time per year only, free of charge. The regular season is recorded monthly from September through April, but Rolling Hills goes on the road over the summer. “The live experience is, in its essence, an intimate look at the taping of a radio show,” says Hardley. “Such a concept is rare in this era of twodimensional entertainment and I think this is a large part of the appeal and what keeps our audience coming back. People can witness the taping as it occurs, complete with all of the spontaneity, bloopers, and moments of inspiration one can expect from an unrehearsed live show.”
The Chautauqua Leadership Network, developed in 1993, will honor four outstanding recipients at their annual Leaders of the Year Awards on Tuesday morning, August 13, 2019 at Chautauqua Suites in Mayville, NY. Purina and The Resource Center sponsor the open to public event with registration starting at 7 a.m. and 7:30 program start time. Ticket cost is $25 per person or $250 for a table sponsorship.

The CLN Volunteer Leader of the Year Award honors Brad Raak, a former customer field representative for the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities a dedicated volunteer at the National Comedy Center and the Lucy Comedy Festival who sadly passed away in January 2019. This award is presented to an individual

Aside from nourishment, the corn provided stalks for liquid storage and weapons, husks for dolls, baskets and other creative endeavors, and cobs for fires. Hearty souls, the Iroquois played challenging games. The one most enjoyed today by their American cousins is Lacrosse. Coincidentally, Rhino Lacrosse and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Lacrosse tournament on September 20-21 at various spots in Ellicottville. The Seneca-Iroquois National Museum will be part of this event. Add that to your calendar and do inquire about its Native American origins when you visit the Cultural Center. Fishing was important for the natives. They built their canoes from elm bark. Needless to say, having to give up their traditional ways of living, hunting and fishing along the Allegany River to make way for the Kinzua Dam project is still remembered with sadness by many Native American elders.

The
‘Lilium’ Family. They differ in their classification because they are not a ‘Bulb’ but are clump forming ryzomes or corms that look like little nuggets that spread wildly and are easily grown. Their real name is ‘Hemerocallis’. They are pretty much foolproof and a guarantee in almost any situation except full shade. They have been hybridized to the extent that you can find them in all of the warm colours in every size and configuration. There is something for everyone in this group of perennials. After their blooming I like to clean up the browned foliage and remove the spent scapes and even cut back the entire plant so it can send up some nice clean, new foliage to provide background for the autumn blooming perennials. Daylily flowers only bloom for one day but have many blossoms on one single stem, or scape, so do last a good long time, and the true Lilliums will also
blossom for about 2 weeks. Some of my favorite ‘Tiger Lilies’ (meaning Liliums), are starting to open just now at the peak of the Daylilies so will be the next attraction as the Daylilies, (Hemerocallis) start to subside. On or about the first of August the Orange ‘Henrii ‘ turkscap Tiger Lily will open as well as the magnificent ‘Black Beauty’ Lilium, also a turkscap. It’s a reddish maroon shade with white edged petals that recurve back and has a white throat with a green Star in the center. For me they are stunning in their most elegant display of a candelabra style tall arrangement with many flowers on many stems. Also blooming now are the Crocosmias, aptly named Lucifer, in their brilliant red-orange or scarlet colourations. Still in blossom and a Hummingbird favorite is the Monarda or Bee Balm.

‘A’ is for August
By Carol Fisher The Senecas, are part of the larger Iroquois Confederacy of Nations: six Nations that joined to become one - the Mohawk (Keepers of the Eastern Door – of Central NYS), Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca (Keepers of the Western Door), and Tuscarora. They call themselves Haudenosaunee (pronounced “hooh-deenoh-SHAW-nee”), or people of the longhouse, with doors to the east and west. In spirit, they are a 300-mile long longhouse across the state, hence the designated “keepers of the doors.” Members of these tribes belong to animal clans: Deer, Wolf and Bear; Turtle, Beaver, Hawk, Heron and Snipe. The Seneca Nation is a matrilineal, sovereign, selfgoverning Nation with over 8,300 citizens. They are the largest of six Nations and are a democratic Nation that pre-dates the United States Constitution. The traditions of the American Natives is profoundly interesting, entertaining, important, and rich with nuance. In this article, I will tell you a few of their stories, but I encourage you to visit the Onohsagwe:de Cultural Center in Salamanca to add to your knowledge of this amazing society whose constitution served as a model for our very own American Constitution. The Iroquois were an agricultural society, raising three primary crops known as “The Three Sisters,” believed to have been supplied by their Creator: Beans climbed the corn

We can’t say enough good things about The Suites. Ken is such a gracious host and the Apartment we stayed in was fantastic. It’s perfect for a couple, but large enough for a family of 4. The layout is wonderful, going from a covered front porch with rockers, into an enclosed sitting area, then into the main living room area that has a cozy, full-windowed reading area off to the side. The spacious bedroom is off to the left, along with a small bathroom. The suite also has a mini-fridge, sink, microwave and Keurig. The location is great, as it’s literally within 100 yards of almost everything in Bemus Point. If you forgot your bike, you can even rent one right next door.

Achievement Awards:
Mary Maxwell
Building Neighborhoods
By Judy Shuler 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 last of their profiles. When does repairing and painting a house do more than beautify the block? When it builds a neighborhood. “It’s not as much about fixing up houses as getting neighbors to talk to each other,” says Mary Winslow Maxwell. “They work together. More things get done. They’re required to have communication. They’re required to have a year-end party.” Maxwell oversees Jamestown’s Renaissance Block Challenge for the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation. She was awarded the first ever YWCA Unity Award for working to promote inclusion and bring the community together; for working to eliminate racism and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Maxwell learned about inclusion at early age. She grew up two hours south of Norfolk, VA. “We moved to the farm when I was 11. I should have been going to school in my district but we had a choice. A lot of Caucasians said they wouldn’t go to class with black students and went to private schools. This is 1970. They still hadn’t integrated schools. My father said that these are our neighbors; we are not going to private school. I had to go

where half the 8th grade was learning to read, half were going to college. In a class of 64, 80% were black.” “While I didn’t get a good education, I got an education in another area. Somehow our class clicked and we decided we were going to get along. They were the first class to start in high school as an integrated class. I’m “woke”. I’m aware of racial inequality.” She met her husband David at a friend’s wedding. She has an undergraduate degree in history education from Meredith College in Raleigh; he went to school in furniture and design. They could have gone anywhere, she says. They decided to settle in the Northeast to be closer to aging parents. He got an offer from Bush Industries in Jamestown. They planned to stay three to five years; that was 35 years ago. After she could not conceive the child they both longed for, they had an epiphany in a Chinese language class. Asked by the instructor why they had enrolled, one woman said she had just adopted a baby from China. A light went off for both of them. They brought Mei home 36 hours before the towers fell on Sept. 11. She just graduated from high school and will enroll at the University of Buffalo in the fall. When an ad appeared for Maxwell’s current position with Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, a friend said, “you’ve got to read this.” She’d already studied abroad, interned in curriculum development with the U.S. Navy, taught junior high school history, worked in retail management, a veterinary clinic and a library; earned an art degree at JCC; and started her own computer graphics business. And interestingly, she’d help organize the Wild West Side Every-Odd-Year Block Sale on Jamestown’s Westside where they live which consists of eleven streets, nine blocks, and 60 houses: “If you do it every year people don’t participate. In two years they forget how much work it is. I already do all this,” Mary thought after reading the ad. She was hired in 2013. off the events, followed by a cake-cutting ceremony and the opening of vendor booths. A tattoo artist will present his trade and offer indigenous henna tattoos; Michael Galban will talk on the history of these beautiful tattoos. If you happen to have an INDIGENOUS one, (maybe a clan animal?) arrive for the contest to be judged (see schedule on line). Appreciate the display

approximately 11 percent of the U.S. population, aged 18 through 37, only 0.8 percent of Army enlistees were black” during the end of the 1940’s. “In October, Army Lt. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem Jr. is appointed to study the Army’s race policies and prepare a directive for the post-war black soldiers. In November, the Gillem Board made 18 recommendations to improve the Army’s employment and treatment of black soldiers. In 1946 the Army and Navy adopt policies of integration and equal rights for black service members, though the policies were not widely implemented or enforced. War Secretary Robert P. Patterson directs militarywide acceptance of the new policies in April. But the Services continue to challenge integration and Patterson suspends black enlistments in the regular Army in July. Meanwhile, racial turmoil across the United States prompts President Harry S. Truman in September to establish a civil rights committee to investigate racial violence – a decision that becomes the catalyst for widespread military integration over the next decade. “ (source: https://archive. defense.gov/home/ features/2008/0708_ integration/military_ integration_timeline.pdf) In this three-part series, you will read of six examples of career challenges/ disappointments forever etched in 1LT Manus’ mind which characterize his journey across seas and foreign lands serving America with flying colors using gentle charisma: Vignette #1 The ThreeYear Bait and Switch Promise Known as “Three for Two.” Luther was drafted on 22 Mar 1946. His uncle warned him to stay out of the Pacific Theater of War and go to Europe. The Army had a program that if you enlisted for three years instead of two years, they would send you to Europe; consequently, Luther followed his Uncle’s advice. He completed Basic Training and then received orders to Fort Stillman,
California. He questioned this assignment since he was being sent in the wrong direction (not towards Europe). They continued to send him West to Hawaii and then the Philippines where he guarded Japanese prisoners of war such as a war-torn Japanese Admiral who spoke fluent English and may have been the smartest man Luther had ever met. The Japanese trained in English because they believed they needed the language skills when then took over the Continental United States. After three years and a broken contract promise, Luther honorably separated from the US Army as a Private Second Class or E-2, to head back home to complete a four-year degree at Gannon University, Erie, PA. He received a commission as a Second Lieutenant (O-1) and was assigned to Fort Gordon, GA, Fort Dix, NJ, and Fort Drum, NY as a Combat vehicle and Ordinance Maintenance Officer. Vignette #2: the RIF Also Known as Reduction-InForce. By 1953, Luther was a First Lieutenant (O2) Reserve Officer and susceptible to reductions in military manpower cuts because of budget constraints. Given the shrinking military budget, by 1953, 1Lt Luther was asked to take a demotion to Staff Sergeant E-6, a rank with “three chevrons up and two down” as Luther likes to call it. For the love of country, he accepted this significant downgrade, but always looked on the bright side thinking, “well after seven years I moved up five grades from E-1 to E-6! In reality, he was demoted five grades from O-2 to E-6 losing officer privileges in the process. He always saw the glass half full and not half empty. He was always one to obey orders. He accepted his fate, and is assigned to handle inspection preparations at Fort Drum, NY where a he questioned and disobeyed an order to contaminate the environment leading to a win-win solution. (Please read the next two vignettes in next week’s Lakeside Ledger.)

Jennie Vimmerstedt, a staff member was honored by the Swedish government for her many Swedish based history stories and associations with the large Swedish population of which she was a part. Commentaries and oftencomplete texts of popular lecture series attracted serious readership. The occasional debates between longtime Mayor Sam Carlson and popular lawyer, Bob Jackson, both men of oral skill and wit, were always printed in full. Throughout the first 100 years, all community celebrations received widespread publicity. The 100th birthday of the Jamestown Journal in July 1926 was most notable. The complete copy of the first paper in addition to news articles of events throughout the 100 years was made available as souvenirs of the occasion. The 1920s were a golden age for the Jamestown Evening Journal. But since 1901 it had been competing with a paper of similar coverage, The Morning Post. All the pluses that had supported both papers dwindled as the economy fell throughout the 1930s. Negotiations were begun to combine individual strengths and in May of 1941, the first copy of the JAMESTON POSTJOURNAL appeared.

In 1886 John Hall died and Fred Hall became the sole owner-editor. He remained in this position for over 50 years. His stated purpose was to make the Evening Journal a big city newspaper. Physical changes occurred with first years of young Hall’s ownership. The Journal was moved to a large building on West Second St. New basic equipment featured a press that could print on both sides of the paper simultaneously and several newly invented linotype machines. In that first quarter century, Hall saw that he and his newspaper became a part of the community. He became a familiar figure about town and secured memberships in city clubs of various varieties and purposes. Hall encouraged his staff to make community connections. E.B. (Cap’n) Briggs, the City Editor, spent most of his time on the street making friends. He was a genuine extrovert, using stories from the streets to create well-written stories for the paper. He was also a military buff and went off to fight in both the Mexican War and the First World War. The whimsey and humor of his stories earned for him the title of Will Rogers of Jamestown.
Brothers
Cont. From Cover 50 years ago and today, in a discussion moderated by NPR “Fresh Air” TV critic David Bianculli, who authored an acclaimed book about the Smothers Brothers and their network TV show. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday afternoon at the National Comedy Center, the Smothers Brothers unveiled a display of archival material they donated to the National Comedy Center, including their iconic red suit jackets, Tom’s guitar and Dick’s bass, scripts and creative papers, a letter from President Lyndon Johnson which was read by the Smothers Brothers on their TV show, as well as legal documents from their landmark 1970s litigation against CBS in defense of their First Amendment rights. “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” debuted in 1967 and quickly became a counter-cultural lightning rod, setting enduring First Amendment precedents that altered the course of comedy history. With their irreverent
Volume 3 ~ Issue 32
humor and singular blend of comedic and musical talent, the Brothers satirized politics, combated racism, and protested the Vietnam War, while pushing the boundaries of what was considered permissible on network television. Despite their tremendous popularity, CBS fired the Smothers Brothers due to political pressure in April 1969. This year marks the 50th anniversary of their wrongful firing, which was litigated in the precedentsetting censorship case Smothers Brothers v. Columbia Broadcasting System, Inc. “We are honored to bring Tom and Dick Smothers back to the stage after nine years, as we celebrate their extraordinary career and showcase important artifacts from their archives at the National Comedy Center,” stated Journey Gunderson, National Comedy Center Executive Director. “‘The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour’ was a major milestone and an inflection point for comedy – influencing generations of comedy creators. We look forward to sharing the Smothers Brothers’ important story and preserving it for future generations.” “The National Comedy
Center is an incredible cultural institution. Until now, comedy was never considered serious art, and it is serious art,” stated Tom Smothers. “Laughter is being honored in this museum and we are so glad to be a part of it.” “My brother and I are truly honored to be included in the National Comedy Center,” stated Dick Smothers. “This is the most unique museum in the entire world.” The Smothers Brothers were the special guests for the first day of a comedy-themed week entitled “What’s Funny?” at the world-renowned Chautauqua Institution, July 29 – August 2, programmed in partnership with the National Comedy Center, which will be followed by the National Comedy Center’s annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival in Jamestown, NY, August 7 through 11.
