Mayville Restaurant Hosts Collaborative Dinner Series
Contributed Article By Harley Anderson
The White Carrot restaurant, located in Mayville, kicked of its “Chefs Unchained” series last Monday, inviting Chef Edward Forster of The Dapper Goose to create a collaborative dinner with White Carrot chef and owner, Brian Kiendl. Chef Brian introduced the idea for collaborating with other chefs, hoping to get closer to the Buffalo dining scene by “bringing chefs down I greatly respect and want to get to get to know and have some fun cooking awesome food.” After only a week of collaboration, Chef Brian and Chef Edward were able to put together a tasting menu featuring “the bounty of Chautauqua” as their muse, based upon ingredients that flourish in the region, including peas, strawberries, garlic, and local Reverie creamery cheeses. Chef Edward shared on how they chose ingredients, saying that “The starting point was the season and what’s good. . . We picked things that we thought would be able to be used in a unique way.” This helped them to present the fresh ingredients in ways that challenged tradition, such as strawberries being featured in a savory main course and cheese being
used in the dessert course. The dinner moved through four courses, each focused on a different ingredient. Three courses offered three dishes each, including one presented by Chef Brian, one presented by Chef Edward, as well as a collaborative dish by both chefs. Two wine pairings were served for each dish, selected by sommeliers Jess Railey and Tom English. Guests enjoyed the event in an “atmosphere that cannot be replicated,” according to diner Jason Toczydlowski. He commented on the creativity and ingenuity of two well respected chefs coming together, a reaction that was shared by many guests. The White Carrot will be holding two more “Chefs Unchained” events this summer, including collaboration with Chef Steve Gedra on July 23rd and Chef Ross Worhol on August 20th. Seats are very limited and fill up quickly, so it’s important to make reservations well in advance. To stay up to date on future events and make reservations, The White Carrot can be found on Facebook, Instagram, and their website whitecarrotrestaurant.com. Reservations can also be made by calling (716) 269-6000.

Rev. Michael Lokietek Family Church Fredonia fcfredonia.org
Dear Pastor, is it okay for a Christian to be patriotic? As one who is a frequent traveler, I find that our country seems very patriotic when compared to others. We just celebrated Independence Day with flags flying, picnics, fireworks, and time off from work for family celebrations. This idea of independence and freedom has permeated the very cultural identity and is the foundation of our ideals of democracy. If you consider the Christian culture,
there also seems to be a similarity of ideals. This results in a kind of cross-over in culture including “God and country” themed music, flags displayed in church, and an almost assumption of patriotic values within the Christian culture. While many believe it’s admirable to be patriotic, is this a mandate from God? Does it honor God to be patriotic? Let’s see what the Bible says about this topic.
If we look at Romans 13:1 “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” Notice that it doesn’t say anything about the “who” of the authorities but rather the idea of being a good citizen in general. Why? Because God put the concept of government in place as a means of order and protection. We are even called to pray for those that rule over us. 1 Timothy 4:1 declares,
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” You can see by these scriptures that our prayers for the authorities have a dual purpose by God; that we live in peace and more importantly, that all come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. So while I don’t see anything from the Word against being patriotic, we are rather called to be obedient, law-abiding citizens, even paying taxes, (Matthew 22:21) to be pleasing to God. More importantly to Him, however, we are called to pray for those governing us and for all to come to know Him as Lord and Savior!

We are still in the midst of fresh fruit season, and while it may not last too much longer, now is the perfect time for peach shortcake. Not that this is the only reason to share this recipe, these biscuits make for a perfect appetizer or dinner companion. If you throw some cheddar cheese into the mix along with a little bit of garlic powder, they will taste almost identical to the famous Red Lobster biscuits. Those biscuits are delicious, and I don’t even eat seafood. I willingly accompany my husband to that restaurant just for the biscuits. You can also use them as a breakfast food, or in a dinner such as chicken & biscuits, and make mixed vegetables with shredded chicken and gravy to serve over top. For the super-fast track dinner option, pick
Perfect seasonal treat or meal, right there. There are plenty of variations for this recipe. If you discover some other brilliant meal idea utilizing these biscuits, please share it with us! But before you can go be creative, you need the original directions, so here you go. Ingredients: 2 Cups 1/2 Cup stick 1 Tbsp. 1 tsp. 1 Cup
All-purpose flour, leveled Cold butter, better measured as 1 Baking powder Salt Milk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare baking sheet, parchment paper will work wonderfully
Once again, we aren’t that fancy around here. Mix together dry ingredients in stand mixer, then drop in small pieces of butter and mix together. Mix on medium for about 2 minutes, or until you can see small crumbles of butter evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Add milk and mix well. There should be nothing dry left in the bowl. Scoop onto baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes. You can get 10-12 smaller biscuits out of this mix, or 6-8 huge biscuits which are perfect for shortcake. If your home is heavily populated by toddlers, much like ours is, I would recommend 4 large biscuits and 4 small. For peach shortcake, simply peel and slice peaches, place in a bowl and sprinkle sugar on top. There will be a perfect amount of juice at the bottom of you take this step before making your biscuits. You can also add fresh blueberries or raspberries to make this even better! As always, thanks for reading, and happy biscuit making!
The history of Hersheypark began with the founding of the town of Hershey in 1903. The owner of the Hershey Chocolate Company surveyed a nearby area of land, which was to become a leisure park for the employees of his chocolate company. People began visiting the grounds of the future park in 1904 and 1905, while the park's first pavilion was built in the fall of 1905. The park was formally opened on May 30, 1906, when the park opened as Hershey Park. The park slowly added rides until 1923, when the first roller coaster, Wild Cat, was built. From then on, rides were regularly added, except during World War II. The park was redeveloped into Hersheypark in 1970, through a multi-phase project. Since then, the park has added ten roller coasters, expanded to over 110 acres, and features many other attractions including shows with sea lions.

are off to a good start already this summer.”
Jamestown, N.Y. – Summer in Chautauqua County means Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) must again attack the European Water Chestnut that first appeared in 2013.
Tome noted that one 20-acre pond at Audubon that took weeks to clear of Water Chestnut five years ago was cleared in a single morning this year. “With enough staff and volunteer help, the problem is getting easier to handle each year.”
Audubon will be hosting a major Water Chestnut pull to remove it from ACNC’s Big Pond on Saturday, July 14, from 9 a.m. until noon. Lunch will be served afterward.
To participate in the Big Pull on July 14, email Water Chestnut Coordinator Tiffany Donaldson at waterchestnut@auduboncnc.org or call (716) 569-2345.
The European Water Chestnut can cover a water body so densely it chokes out other plants and animal life. A different species from the water chestnut that can be purchased in cans, in its native habitat in Europe, Asia and Africa, the plant is kept in check by local insect parasites not found in North America.
Western New York PRISM is a regional partnership created to address the negative impacts of invasive species on our economy, environment, and human health. With offices in the Great Lakes Center at SUNY Buffalo State, their collaborative approach to invasive species management includes local citizens, private landowners, non-profit organizations, state, federal, tribal, and local agencies, business, researchers and universities. More information can be found at wnyprism.org.
Much of Audubon’s 600-acre wetland preserve is comprised of a series of ponds, making it dangerously vulnerable to the annual invader. With the help of a grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Audubon staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly since its first appearance to control its infestation and prevent it from spreading to other waterways in the region, including Conewango Creek and Chautauqua Lake. Audubon Senior Naturalist Jeff Tome reported that, “Western New York PRISM (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management) staff recently spent two days pulling water chestnut out of our waterways, so we

JHS AP Biology Students Volunteer Time for Jefferson Arboretum
Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Jamestown, N.Y. – Opportunities remain to observe Audubon Community Nature Center’s (ACNC) participation in the continent-wide MAPS bird banding program, now in its eighth year there. Bird scientists will be working at ACNC on Saturdays, July 14 and 21 and August 4. While you are likely to see more the earlier you come when it is cooler, you can drop in any time between 6 a.m. and noon to learn how bird banding is conducted and why. You can walk side-by-side with ornithologists to learn how they capture birds in 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. Data gathered during these MAPS (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) sessions help bird scientists understand more about bird species in our region and beyond. Since 1989, more than 1,200 MAPS stations spread across 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. Come on your own or bring the kids with you to view this amazing process, and plan to take some pictures. 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.

so everyone could collaborate on the project. The two brochures were designed, laid out and written by the students, including a link to their website with QR codes. The website (https://sites.google.com/jpsny.org/jeffersonarboretum/home) includes: the goal of the project, a list & photos of the different types of tree at the Jefferson Arboretum and the “tree rap” song, which was produced as a video. The song, created by Sarah Russo and Morgan Tracy, is about all the different trees at the arboretum and people they met through the project like Mr. Stone. The rap was created with the help of fellow classmates, Izzy Knapp, Elle Noon and Kara Triscari. The students used the JHS recording and video studio with the assistance of teacher, Sam Qadri, to put their tree rap song video together. All of the students really enjoyed the project.
[Jamestown, NY] – JHS AP Biology students in Jennifer Lumia’s classes channeled their end-of-the-school year excitement to create promotional materials for the Jefferson Arboretum on Martin Road. The students created two brochures, a website and a rap video about trees to help let the community know about this wonderful resource for walking and viewing nature. “Every year after the AP exams, I ask my students to do a community project. I feel very strongly that our best and brightest should give back to their community. This year, they chose the Jefferson Arboretum,” said Mrs. Lumia. “ I am very proud of the work they did. They persevered as a team, even knowing that they didn’t have to do this for a grade or test, to follow through and complete the projects. It lets them see a real-life use for the knowledge that they have gained in the classroom. The classes first took a field trip to the Jefferson Arboretum and met with City Arborist, Dan Stone, who helped them identify trees. Students also took photographs for their website and brochure. District Technology Information Specialist Coach, Jason Kathman, helped students set-up a team Google Drive
“Sometimes during an AP class you get lost in the process of working and getting ready for a test,” said Jamestown High School junior Grayson Holt. “But a project like this lets you use the knowledge you’ve learned in the classroom, outside of school. You learn that it can be applied anywhere. I also didn’t realize there were people like Mr. Stone who are so knowledgeable and passionate about trees. He was fantastic and so willing to share his passion with us. It was great to do something with no incentive but to collaborate with others to do something for the community.”
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. 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 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and Sundays 1-4:30 p.m. More than five miles of trails and Bald Eagle viewing are open dawn to dusk daily.

Ice Cream sundaes were invented when it became illegal to sell ice-cream sodas on a Sunday in the American town of Evanston during the late 19th century.

Jamestown Board of Education Welcomes Student Board Members Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools
[Jamestown, NY] – The Jamestown Board of Education is proud to announce the appointment of two ex-officio student board members, Natalie Carlson and Ellen Cross, for the 2018-19 school year. Natalie and Ellen will both be seniors at Jamestown High School and are the co-public relations officers for the National Honor Society. Their term begins July 2, 2018 and ends June 30, 2019. At the last budget vote and school board election on May 15th, the public approved the ex-officio student position. JHS chose to have two students fill the position to ensure a student would be available at every board meeting. “It is important that students know that they have a voice with the Board of Education,” said Paul Abbott, Jamestown Board of Education President. “Having it formalized with ex-officio members ensures a student presence at all meetings. I hope our student body utilizes this opportunity and supports Natalie and Ellen by giving them their suggestions and input. I also hope their presence sends a message to all students that they are welcome at any Board of Education meeting because they are the reason we do
what we do.”
Natalie and Ellen are both very involved at Jamestown High School. Natalie is in the JHS Marching Band, Concert Band, Chamber Orchestra, Musical Pit Orchestra, JHS Softball team, Ski Club, Yearbook Club and Key Club. Ellen participates in the JHS Marching Band, Concert Band, Chamber Orchestra, A Cappella Choir, Musical Pit, Ski Club, French Club, Key Club, Raider Readers, Yearbook Club and Student Council. Both students are excited to start their term on the Board of Education. “I think being on the Board of Education is a great opportunity to give students a voice and a presence on the Board,” said Natalie who hopes to study business. “We are very involved at JHS and hope to be a voice for the extracurriculars that are available at Jamestown schools and show how important they are in all the schools.” “I will try to represent my school from the student perspective. I think it is important for us to share what is going on in the schools; what is working, what might need improvement and how we can do better,” said Ellen who plans to study communications.

Guests who overstayed their welcome in the Middle Ages were served cold beef, to hint that it was time to leave. Several helpings of nothing but chilly shoulders of beef were supposed to send home even the most persistent. Thus the phrase “giving someone a cold shoulder”, which now means to publicly snub someone, had much more literal origins!

Local cyclists are invited to take part in the 16th annual ‘Loop the Lake’ bicycle ride on Saturday, July 21st. The charity event – believed to be the longest-running group ride around the circumference of Chautauqua Lake – is coordinated annually by St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown. All proceeds from the ride will benefit local youth programs, including the Children of the Book Summer Reading Program, a five-week day camp for children who will be entering grade 4 through 6 in the fall who need assistance with literary skills. The emphasis of the program is to help maintain reading levels over the summer months, as well as to provide participants and their families with structure and support. The camp, which is currently in its third year, runs for five weeks at the church’s downtown location, 410 North Main Street. The event is being organized again this year by St Luke’s parishioners Jay and Lisa Yaggie and David and Cilla Menzies. Registration will be held at 7:45am the day of the race at the Yaggie’s home, 90 West Summit Avenue, Lakewood. Riders may start as soon as they are registered. Donations will be accepted in lieu of registration fees and riders are encouraged to solicit sponsorships. A $25 donation is suggested for registration. A sag wagon will be available throughout the ride and helmets are required for all riders. “The ride is a 41.4-mile self-paced tour around the entire lake.” explains
Yaggie. “There will be plenty of rest stops along the way. We encourage all levels of riders to participate and we will also be offering a half tour (approximately 20 miles) that crosses the lake at Bemus Point for anyone who is not interested in the full loop.” There will be a rest stop with refreshments at the halfway point and a picnic lunch at the Yaggie’s after completion of the ride.
“This year the route will take us through the new Chadakoin Park Bike Path, which was recently opened as a part of the Greater Jamestown Riverwalk.” says Yaggie. “This new section of the ride is not only a beautiful and scenic addition to our annual ride, it helps to avoid the traffic and congestion of Washington Street.”
While the purpose of the ride is to raise funds, the focus is more about fellowship and personal improvement. “The original intent of the ‘Loop the Lake’ ride was to involve riders of all abilities.” Yaggie adds. “Historically we have had the involvement of serious riders, as well as families and individuals who ride just for fun. The half loop is a great way for the less experienced riders to get involved and enjoy an easier ride. It is a very enjoyable morning, and everyone really seems to have a good time.” The ride is open to the public – riders do not need to be members of St. Luke’s to participate. Persons interested in riding, donating or volunteering for the event should call the church office at 716-483-6405 or contact Yaggie at jay@theyaggies.com

cFREDONIA – The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the Beatles’ classic 1968 animated film “Yellow Submarine.” It will be screened on Sat., July 14, and Tues., July 17, at 7:30 p.m.
.In celebration of the 50th anniversary of its original release, the film has been restored, remastered and rereleased to give Beatles fans of all ages the opportunity to come together and share in this visually stunning movie and soundtrack. “Yellow Submarine,” based upon a song by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, is a fantastic tale brimming with peace, love, and hope, propelled by Beatles songs, including Eleanor Rigby, When I’m Sixty-Four, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, All You Need Is Love, and It’s All Too Much. When the film debuted in 1968, it was instantly recognized as a landmark achievement, revolutionizing a genre by integrating the freestyle approach of the era with innovative animation techniques. For the re-release, the film’s songs and score were remixed in 5.1 stereo surround sound at UMG’s Abbey Road Studios. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-drawn original artwork, no automated software was used in the digital clean-up of the film’s restored
Matt Brunson, in Creative Loafing, calls the film “an outrageously inventive piece of eye-popping pop. It still qualifies as one of the greatest animated movies ever made.” TIME magazine, calls it “a breakthrough combination of feature film and art’s intimacy with the unconscious.” Lisa Alspector, in the Chicago Reader, calls it “a marvel of innocence and free association, blending several animation techniques in a loose narrative full of gentle bad puns and flowing visual segues.” Edna Gunderson, of AARP Movies for Grownups, calls it “definitely seaworthy again. All aboard!” Rated G, “Yellow Submarine” runs 90 minutes. The Opera House Cinema Series is sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank. Tickets are available at the door for $7 (adults), $6.50 (seniors & Opera House members) and $5 (students) the night of each screening. A book of 10 movie passes is available for $60 at the door or online at www.fredopera.org. Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor, the first 20 SUNY Fredonia students at each screening are admitted free. For more information, call the Opera House Box Office at 716-679-1891. The Opera House is equipped with individualized closed captioning headsets for the deaf as well as with assistive listening headsets for the hearing-impaired.

The reason dates back to the time of manual typewriters. When first invented , they had keys arranged in an alphabetical order, but people typed so fast that the mechanical character arms got tangled up. So the keys were randomly positioned to actually slow down typing and prevent key jams.

HISTORY OF THE POPSICLE®
The Popsicle® brand is an American classic, with more than 30 creative variations of the original Popsicle® product. And believe it or not, it all started with an accident! In 1905, 11-year-old Frank Epperson left a mixture of powdered soda, water, and a stirring stick in a cup on his porch. It was a cold night, and Epperson awoke the next morning to find a frozen pop. He called it the “Epsicle.” It was a hit with his friends at school, and later with his own kids. They constantly called for “Pop’s ‘sicle.” So in 1923, Epperson changed the name and applied for a patent. A couple of years later, Epperson sold the rights to the brand name Popsicle® to the Joe Lowe Company in New York. The rest is history!
