As a child growing up in Fort Kent, Maine (the youngest of six) Henry chose to work at the age of nine in the diner of the Rocks Motel because he “didn’t want to pick potatoes.” He learned the value of hard work getting up at 5am to wash dishes that were used Henry Sirois grew up in Fort to serve the lumberjacks and Kent, Maine and learned a local farmers who frequented lot during his work in Africa. the establishment.

Lots of dark furs, huge feet, apelike, and larger than humans are some of the descriptors of the creature known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Local enthusiast Peter Weimer, whose interest in the subject began 25 years ago, offered a program on the topic at the Sept. 17 meeting of the Westfield-Mayville Rotary Club at The Parkview in Westfield. John “Doc” Hamels, Club President, sponsored his program. “They’re as real as the mountain lions in Chautauqua County,” Weimer said. “Many area individuals who say they have had eyewitness sightings of Bigfoot have contacted me. Some are afraid to have their identities known because they are fearful of being ridiculed. Others are concerned that if they report sightings of the creature to local authorities, the Bigfoot would become an endangered species.”

The film stars the Four Marx Brothers - Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Zeppo. Groucho plays Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding, the African explorer.

International Peacemaker Visits Rev. Thang Van Lian Spends A Week In WNY Starting October 1st
First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo is initiating opportunities the first week of October to meet a leading voice for peace, and to gather as a community with the common goal of promoting harmony and good will. Rev. Thang Van Lian (pronounced Tong Van LEE-an), a minister of the Presbyterian Church of Myanmar, will visit Western New York as an “International Peacemaker” selected by the Presbyterian Church (USA) to attest to the power of nonviolence. Rev. Thang comes with firsthand knowledge of the cause to which he testifies. He grew up in a poor, rural village in Myanmar (the nation formerly known as Burma) experiencing significant challenges, racial and religious discrimination, and life-threatening situations. On Wednesday, October 2 from 5:00-8:00 pm First Church will host a public forum featuring Rev. Thang, Adela Smehlik from Journey’s End Refugee Services, and Isok Kim from the University at Buffalo School of Social Work, moderated by Rev. Dr. Kenneth E. Hughes, Pastor of First Church. This secular event will cover the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar and a discussion of what a peaceful response may look like.
The event will begin at 5:00 pm with a resource and cultural fair in the chapel of First Presbyterian Church, followed by the panel discussion, with opportunities for questions, from 6:00-7:30 pm. The evening will end with a symbolic peace activity on Symphony Circle at 7:30 pm. This event is free and open to the public. Community leaders, politicians, people of the immigrant and refugee communities, and persons of all faiths are encouraged to attend. Rev. Thang will make other presentations at multiple locations during his WNY visit: Tuesday, October 1 — 6:00 pm presentation and dinner at North Presbyterian Church in Williamsville, Thursday, October 3 — 6:00 pm dinner and presentation at Lewiston Presbyterian Church and Friday, October 4 – 5:00 pm presentation at Robert H. Jackson Center, Jamestown under sponsorship of the First Presbyterian Church of Jamestown Based on his life experiences, and twenty years in ministry, Rev. Thang will speak at these events about the Rohingya crisis, the current civil war on ethnic minority groups, the silence of the Myanmar churches, and what a faithful response might look like to the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar today. He also will share the current peace, justice, and development work of the Presbyterian Church of Myanmar. Rev. Thang will return to First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo on World Communion Sunday, October 6 to lead Adult Sunday school (9:30 am), preach and lead communion at the 11:00 am service, and

quickly. They have been sighted in gorges, swamps, by creeks, behind sheds, in wooded areas, and backyards. They can be strong enough to seriously damage a car door, and they throw stones and sticks. Bigfoots come in different sizes, and appear to have families. A baby Bigfoot was spotted playing overhead in a tree. Bigfoots have been known to watch and sometimes interact with humans. Weimer said, “One thing for certain, Bigfoots are looking for food. If you see one, throw food, such as an apple or candy bar. There is a lady from Panama who puts dog food out for her local Bigfoot. I know a guy who puts a pizza on his picnic table every Friday night for a Bigfoot. There are plenty of huge footprints on his property. Folks don’t want to tell their exact locations for fear of creating a circus or a hunting ground.” “Since creating the Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo, I am up to 41 Eyewitnesses to a Bigfoot sighting from here in Chautauqua County, eight from Cattaraugus County and more than a dozen from Warren County, PA that have contacted me personally. I didn’t realize at the time, that the CLBF Expo and I would become the center of the universe to eyewitnesses to reach out to or to come to the Expo in getting closure in knowing they aren’t crazy or alone in seeing a Bigfoot. New York, Pennsylvania & every Government in the USA will never acknowledge the existence of Bigfoot because
if they did, the Endangered Species Act of 1973 signed into law by President Nixon would automatically kick in, shutting the Woods / Forests down to timbering and hunting, quadrupling the cost of building a home because we would have to import all of our lumber, putting millions of contractors out of business and banks too from writing home loans. It is all about the Economy and has nothing to do about the reality of Bigfoot… There are hundreds of Bigfoots in New York State, the same in Pennsylvania, Ohio and across the USA.” Weimer invited those of all ages who are interested in the topic to the 8th Annual Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo, Oct. 11 to 13, at YMCA Camp Onyasha, 5411 E. Lake Road, Dewittville, NY 14728. There will be a movie festival, town hall meeting, and more. “At this year’s Chautauqua Lake Bigfoot Expo, we will have five National Bigfoot Speakers and Researchers speak and show pictures, footprint casts and PowerPoint presentations to the Reality of Bigfoots here in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and across the USA.

Cont. From Cover Some of those stories are about loss. Loss of her mom last March. The decline and loss of a beloved dog Benny. A search for home. Born in Kitimat, British Columbia, a tiny town north of Vancouver, she subsequently lived in Oswego and Rochester; in two towns each in California and Pennsylvania, and in Athens, GA. Moving a lot as a child, she says she had a stable family life but an unstable home. Search for a sense of home, of one’s place in the world suffuses her photography yet today. One constant in her peripatetic childhood was spending time every summer at a camp in Canada above the Thousand Islands, a tradition she has continued through adulthood. Her mother’s family owned it. “We went up this summer without her for the first time.” She moved to Jamestown in 1989 after meeting her husband George, a lifelong resident, at Allegheny College. Her aha moment in photography came during a darkroom class at Jamestown Community College, when 35 mm film was the medium and she could see the potential of manipulating images. Like the rest of the world she has gone digital. Her tool of choice, the camera
on her smart phone. It’s always with her, and quality rivals and exceeds many cameras. IPhone apps that allow her to edit remind her of working in a darkroom, but results are immediate. “There’s something about taking it, you can edit it right there. It’s super addictive. You find the ones you like. It just gives you a different look to your photos.” One of her favorites is Hipstamatic. As soon as she saw a photo filtered through the program she said “that’s what I feel like.” When capturing images, “I want it to look how I feel.” She says she sees one way in black and white, one way in color. Apps allow her to choose either. She has taught iPhoneo-Graphy at Jamestown Audubon Center and in the Special Studies Program at Chautauqua Institution. “I also take a lot of pictures of dogs.” As a volunteer at the Chautauqua County Humane Society she takes the winsome photos of adoptable dogs for their website. She has also done commissions of animals for their owners. One of her newer projects is capturing the spirit of people and animals. “Souls of animals and how that relates to people. A lot of my photographs are like spirits.” A friend once told her “it’s like you put the spirits of those you love in current landscapes.” Panebianco‘s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Her
Benny Was a Good Boy Series, in black and white, was spotlight feature in Black & White Magazine. It chronicled her aging dog’s decline in his final year and ultimately became a way for her to deal with loss and death. It was a semi-finalist in Portfolio Competition at Soho Photo Gallery, New York City. In No Memory is Ever Alone she takes slides her father showed his family every Christmas, photographing them in her current landscape. It won first place in the fine art category at the International Photography Awards in Los Angeles this year, and awards in exhibitions in Houston, Portland and San Francisco. In addition to information about exhibitions and contests, she has found a community of photographers on line who support and critique each other’s work. Having a piece in the Erie Art Museum encouraged her to “explore and find out what my voice was.” It also gave her confidence to apply for shows in bigger cities. “This area has a nice art community. There’s a lot going on if you choose to look for it.” In her day job she is parttime communications coordinator for Jamestown Public School District, a job she has held for 19 years. More of her background and examples of her work can be found at catherinepanebianco.com.

She and her brother Dan Minner, Head Brew Master at EBC grew up in the South Dayton area loving the supermarket and their tasty treats. “We had to get there early Sunday morning, or they’d be gone”, Beth remembered. Her brother Dan Minner chimes in and says, “We’d take turns picking up doughnuts for the family, and we had to get there super early otherwise they would be gone.” This award sparked an idea for a collaboration with the brewery and the supermarket.

on one of their creations: it is a powered donut with angel cream and strawberry filling; in other words, a mouth party. Dan Minner started formulating a beer that would mimic the taste of the doughnut. He got to work utilizing a secret blend of hops, and flavorings to create the Super Duper Jelly Beer; a cream ale with a jelly doughnut chaser. A swilly sweet mouth party. They created a can with bright pink lettering and a character that vaguely resembles a mash-up of Homer Simpson, Sponge Bob Square Pants and a doughnut. On the canning line the brightly colored, 16-oz cans of the brew are being filled, capped and put in cases for delivery. The two Eklund brothers tell me they might take up to 100 cases to sell at the Market. According to Dan Minner the collaboration with the South Dayton Market is part of an ongoing program at EBC. “We find local folks that are Treating or want to take that special someone on a date they’ll never forget, we’ve got you covered.

Over 100 Craft Booths Line Grounds this Sunday
By Nicholas Pircio The 45th annual Busti Apple Festival takes place on Sunday September 29th, on the grounds of the sponsoring Busti Historical Society, next to the historic Busti Gristmill and museum. The festival runs from 11am-5pm, traditionally on the last Sunday in September. Bob Shultz, who’s been active with the festival since its inception back around 1970, encourages one and all to take in the day. Visitors will find demonstrations of pioneer life and survival skills, vendors offering handmade handicraft items for sale, a farmers market featuring locally grown produce, and foods that you can eat there or take home. Schultz says, “There will be pony rides (with a horse drawn carriage) and a Civil War reenactment with the 111th Pennsylvania Infantry. Weinrich’s battery will be there shooting a 3-inch cannon. And
I’m hoping the riflemen will be shooting several times a day.” The demonstrations include spinning and weaving, quilting, flax breaking, candle making, log hewing and soap making. The craft booths number well over 100, according to the Town of Busti website. At the farmers market, you will find apples, cider, pumpkins, honey, maple products and vegetables. A stroll about the grounds will find beef on weck, hot dogs, hamburgers, pop, funnel cakes, baked goods and more. And don’t leave without trying a homemade pie. Schultz notes that vendors will be lined up on the street. Wonder what it’s like to attend school in a one-room schoolhouse? Schultz said the teacher will be in her classroom, complete with a dunce cap. “She will explain how teaching was done in a one-room school, with a demonstration.” And, the man who makes the cider encourages kids to come and
turn the crank to help make the cider. You will also find agriculture equipment on display and for demonstration. “And the genealogical society will be there to help people with their research, to get them started. There’s also a single cylinder oil field engine which will be running.” Schultz said the Busti Apple Festival has, over the years, raised funds to keep the gristmill running. “We have a house built by the same man who built the mill, and I’m in the process of restoring that now.” The house will be open to visitors. “We’ll have a string band playing traditional music. There’s no electrification, it’s all acoustic instruments. They sound very nice. And if you really want to enjoy, you’ve got to sit down and listen.” There is an admission fee. Parking is free on the adjoining Busti Volunteer Fire Department grounds.
Did You Know:
Indian Summer
Where Do these Terms Come From?
Weekly Column By Donna Germain Did you know? ... Summer has passed us by, or so we think it has. We have had some pretty nice weather thus far after Labor Day. Many people say they hope we have an Indian summer. So, what exactly is an Indian summer and how did the term Indian summer ever come about? Well there are several theories on the Indian summer. From written books and articles, and oral stories from older people, we can derive that long summers have been called Indian summers for at least 150 years. These days, it seems like every summer is an Indian summer. Usually unseasonably warm, dry and calm weather, followed by a period of colder weather or frost in the late Autumn. In the Southern hemisphere, where the term
is less common, it refers to the late spring. Some people argue that is due to global climate change caused by humans, and others argue that is just the cycle our Earth is going through. There are a lot of different theories as to why it is called Indian summer. One theory that is plausible comes from the early settlers. The Native Americans would raid farms after the harvest, if the weather proved good. But if autumn weather came, the Native Americans would leave and not raid the farms. Thus, if the summer stayed long past harvest, then the Native Americans would come. The term Indian summer reached England in the 19th century, during the heyday of the British Raj in India. This led to the mistaken belief that the term referred to the Indian subcontinent. In fact, the “Indians” in question were the Native Americans,
and the term began use there in the late 18th century. There are many references to the term in American literature in the following hundred years or so. In the 1830s Indian summer began to be used figuratively, to refer to any late flowering following a period of decline. It was well enough established as a phrase by 1834 for John Greenleaf Whittier to use the term that way, when in his poem Memories he wrote of “The Indian summer of the heart!” The English already had names for the phenomenon - St. Luke’s Summer, St. Martin’s Summer, or AllHallows Summer, but these have now all but disappeared and, most of the world uses the term Indian Summer. The truth is that nobody can know for certain the exact origins of the term and chances are we’ll never know. So, enjoy the nice weather. Now you know...
