Contributed Article The 1891 Fredonia Opera House
FREDONIA – The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is “RBG,” the critically acclaimed documentary on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It will be screened on Sat., July 28, and Tues., July 31, at 7:30 p.m. At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior’s rise to the nation’s highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. Bruce DeMara, in the Toronto Star, calls the film “an intriguing portrait of a woman described as shy and retiring but with ‘a quiet magnetism,’ a work horse and a master legal strategist.” Bilge Ebiri, in the Village Voice, calls it “a film that informs, and even delights with its portrait of one of the more remarkable lawyers, judges, and feminist icons of our time.” Kenneth Turan, in the Los Angeles Times, says “make no mistake about it, this woman is a force, and the great service this clear-eyed and admiring documentary provides is to emphasize not just Ginsburg’s work on the court but how extraordinarily influential she was before she even got there.” Rated PG for some thematic elements and language, “RBG” runs 96 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. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.

Unitarian Church Installs Book Box for Kids
St. Isaac Jogues Church is sponsoring a Bike Parade for children 14 years old or under, starting @ 11:30.
David Winner designed and built the Book Box that is now in front of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown. He is pictured with his creation that reads “Reading Helps You Grow” on the side. Children and parents are invited to stop by and choose a book from the Book Box that will be theirs to keep.
Contributed Article Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown
Jamestown, N.Y. – Members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown (UUCJ) have installed a Book Box in front of their building at 1255 Prendergast Avenue. Children and parents are invited to stop by and select one of the books inside that they can keep as their own. Wood craftsman and UUCJ President David Winner volunteered to design and build the Book Box for the latest project of the church's Social Justice Committee. This outreach program was inspired by Ruby Wiles, the recipient of the church's 2017 Richard T. Parker Award for Social Justice. The Parker Award recognizes individuals whose volunteer work for social justice has not been widely acknowledged. A Warren, Pa., resident, Wiles is the founder of Free Books for Kids Town and Halloween Read and Treat. She is passionate about encouraging children to read by having books that belong to them. Her passion is supported by an international study that found having books in the home helps all children–but especially those from disadvantaged homes–to go further in school. After meeting with Wiles, the Social Justice Committee decided to promote reading by getting books to kids who might not have them. It funded church member and Washington Middle School English as a New Language teacher Emily Garrick's purchase of books for her students and provided books to Fletcher Elementary School kindergarteners. The mission of the UUCJ is to promote and provide a community where diverse people of all ages may explore the meaning of existence, give expression to liberal religious values, and work for a just, sustainable society. Members strive to provide programs and a caring community in which all persons are empowered to serve one another, encouraged to pursue spiritual growth, accepted for who they are, and supported in life's transitions. During the summer UUCJ members participate in Sunday morning Unitarian services at Chautauqua Institution. Jamestown services will resume at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays in the fall. You can learn more about the UUCJ at JamestownUU.org and on their Facebook page, facebook.com/jamestownuu. Information about Free Books for Kids Town can be found at facebook. com/FreeBooksForKidsTown. Halloween Read and Treat information is at halloweenreadandtreat.weebly.com.

HBK
The Chautauqua Star community fundraiser? So here was the perfect situation for confetti cookie success, and they were even better than I could have hoped.
FUNFETTI COOKIES By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Recently, we had an opportunity to whip up some goodies for a bake sale. Our kids also had the opportunity to work the bake sale, which was a very interesting situation.
wasn’t overwhelmed by the quality or taste. Some were a little hard, had too many sprinkles, tasted bland, or the sprinkles were crunchy.
One might think that just because you have bought things from a bake sale before, that your kids would somehow magically understand how such a thing works. Like most learning opportunities in parenting, this was definitely not the case. We quickly found out that our kids only had intentions of eating said bake sale items, not selling. Totally different scenario than selling them for charity. We had a brief discussion, and at least one of three kids now has a basic understanding of what this whole thing means. Who knows what might happen at the next one, though! A long, long time ago, when I first started baking a lot, there was a recipe for funfetti cookies on the back of the funfetti cake mix box.
As always, thanks for reading, and happy baking from hbk! Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature* 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg, at room temperature* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cream of tartar (cannot be omitted) 1/2 cup sprinkles Directions:
1. In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter for about 1 minute on None of these factors being desirable for a medium speed. Get it nice and smooth, then cookie, and nothing like the ones that sprang add the sugar on medium speed until fluffy from a box mix. and light in color. Mix in egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides as needed. Set aside. When making something from scratch, the tastes should equal the effort put into it. A homemade recipe should taste better than a box, or what exactly is all the work for? Sure, it’s better for you, but it should also taste better.
It’s entirely possible that this recipe is still there, but I no longer use box mixes so I’m not the one to ask.
Well, throw in the bake sale, and the search for the perfect sprinkle cookie, then add in one more factor.
These were the best cookies ever. Everyone loved them and they were moist, chewy, easy to make, everything you could want in a cookie.
Our church had recently had our annual reunion, where all of our churches that have been launched from our home church in Fredonia, get together for ice cream.
Throughout the last several years, I have been on a search to find the perfect recipe for these cookies but made from scratch.
Everyone brings a topping, which results in hundreds of people, hundreds of toppings, and thousands of sprinkles!
I try to cut out as much processed food as possible from our family diet, so that transfers over to my baking as well.
It’s a wonderful time, and whilst you may be wondering how these can possibly correlate, I somehow ended up with a whole bunch of leftover sprinkles.
I have tried a couple of these sprinkle infested cookie recipes, but honestly just
Without any further delay, I present to you, the perfect from scratch funfetti cookies!
2. In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 different parts. The dough is quite thick and you may have to stir the rest by hand. Once combined, fold in 1/2 cup sprinkles. 3. Chill dough 2 hours and up to 48 hours in the refrigerator. This step will prevent spreading in the oven. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
4. Bake chilled cookie dough for 12-13 minutes. The cookies will appear very soft in the centers. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for 3 minutes and move to wire rack to cool completely. 5. Cookies stay soft & fresh for up to 1 week at room temperature. Cookies freeze well. Cookies may be rolled into balls and frozen up to 3 months to bake at a later date. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

ROLLING HILLS RADIO AT CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 5TH
Contributed Article Rolling Hills Radio
As part of its “summer on the road,” Rolling Hills Radio with Ken Hardley will present Joe Crookston and Todd Burge on the Amphitheater stage at the Chautauqua Institution at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 5, 2018. Hardley notes that this concert is an excellent opportunity to hear these well-known musicians and to experience a Rolling Hills Radio show. Joe Crookston is a songwriter, guitarist, painter, fiddler, slide player, eco-village member and believer in all things possible, but he is, above all else, a storyteller. His songs are rich retellings of peoples’ lives, whether his own father building airstrips in the South Pacific in World War II or the imagined life of a man who one day found inaction to no longer be possible. And these stories are set to glorious guitar work which blends his classical guitar training with the deep roots of Americana music. Says Hardley of Crookston, “He writes such high quality songs and, more often than most, hits them out of the park. His songs move the listener immediately and constantly.” Crookston’s career has been a string of successes. His first album, 2004’s “Fall Down as the Rain,” was rated one of the year’s top twelve self-produced recordings and was featured on NPR’s “All Songs Considered.” In 2007, he received a Rockefeller Foundation grant for a project called “Songs of the Finger Lakes.” He spent a year traveling central
New York, finding stories to turn into songs, several of which have been recorded. His 2009 CD, “Able Baker Charlie & Dog,” was awarded “Album of the Year” by the International Folk Alliance in Memphis, Tennessee. Sing Out Magazine writes, “With all the performers out there, an artist has to go beyond good...and Joe does.”
Todd Burge has emerged as one of West Virginia’s most prolific singers/songwriters. He employs wry humor, dexterous guitar work and an assortment of odd characters—from humans to bugs to animals— to sing his stories. Host Ken Hardley says that he “cannot listen to a Todd Burge song without being simultaneously amused, perplexed, moved and, often, deeply touched.” So it is not surprising that this artist wrote a song about a woman who buries her husband of 35 years in her flower garden, then waters him daily while telling him to “grow up!” Burge has played venues from the Kennedy Center and the Country Music Hall of Fame to literally hundreds of clubs, including the obscure. He is a repeat guest on NPR’s Mountain Stage, where he also hosts from time to time. He wrote 13 songs for a musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labours Lost,” and he has collaborated with arts such as Tim O’Brien on his several albums. Burge has shared the stage with performers such as Hot Tuna, Bela Fleck and Ricky Skaggs. Pete Marshall, owner of a Charlottesville venue where Burge
performed, said he is “literate, witty, off-kilter and always highly entertaining...a real revelation.”
This will be the fifth year for a Chautauqua presentation of Rolling Hills Radio. Ken Hardley says he “feels at home at Chautauqua” because the show and the Institution share the American values of intellectual curiosity, multi-culturalism and authenticity. “It is the perfect setting for a peaceful Sunday afternoon of Rolling Hills Radio music and conversation. Like a visit with some old friends. “ says Hardley. Chautauqua Institution is open free of charge to the public on Sundays. The show, which will be episode 77 for Rolling Hills Radio, can be heard locally on WFRA 107.9 in Jamestown, nationally through Global Community Radio (check local listings) and seen on Spectrum channel 1331, Access Channel 5 in Mayville, and in the capital region on Open Stage Media in Schenectady. It will also be available, after broadcast, on-line through the Rolling Hills Radio website www.rollinghillsradio.org. Season tickets for Rolling Hills Radio with Ken Hardley are currently available for purchase at www. chautauquachamber.org but beginning August 1st, individual and season tickets will be available by calling 716-294-0416, online rollinghillsradio. ticketleap.com, or at the door starting October 22, 2018.

The Story of Comedy Lives Here
Press Release The National Comedy Center is the first nonprofit cultural institution and national-scale visitor experience dedicated to the art of omedy. Featuring more than 50 immersive and interactive exhibits, the Center celebrates comedy in all of its forms, educating and engaging visitors with the story of the art form and its artists. Design of the museum has been provided by some of the most prominent cultural and interactive design firms in the world, whose portfolios collectively include the award-winning 9/11 Memorial Museum, the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, the College Football Hall of Fame, Saturday Night Live: The Experience, Universal Studios and more. In production now in Lucille Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, New York and inspired by her vision to establish it as a destination for the celebration of the comedic arts, the Center plans its ribbon-cutting celebration August 1-4, 2018 coinciding with the organization’s annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. The National Comedy Center, Inc. also operates the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum in Jamestown, New York.
More About the National Comedy Center Visitor Experience
Not a traditionally typical, stuffy, do-not-touch museum, guests will be encouraged to engage with many of the exhibits, and with more than 37,000 square feet of exhibit space the museum will have something for every sense of humor. Each visitor will experience a personalized trip through the Center as exhibits respond to one’s personal comedic sensibilities via use of an RFID chip worn throughout the stay. Can’t-miss exhibits include a hologram theater that presents
performances of some of comedy’s most notable figures, George Carlin’s personal archives which provides a glimpse into one of comedy’s most prolific minds, and even some experiences that allow visitors to step into the shoes of a stand-up comedian. The museum will also feature an adultsonly “Blue Room,” which will explore the art form’s more mature subject matter and the history of taboo and censorship in our culture. Additionally, the National Comedy Center exhibit experience is annotated with artifact displays of props, costumes and screen-used items from television and film, putting a visitor in the presence of some of the most legendary comedy DNA dating back to vaudeville. Outside the museum, which repurposes the structure of Jamestown’s original 1930 art-deco Gateway Train Station, a waterfront community green space is provided with Comedy Center Park.
Project Background
After breaking ground in 2015, the National Comedy Center completed its capital campaign in April of 2017 in what is a $50 million endeavor funded by New York State, federal and private philanthropic support. Through the support of I LOVE NEW YORK program, more than $9 million of funding has been provided by Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State’s Empire State Development and the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The Center embodies Lucille Ball’s vision for her hometown to become a destination for the celebration of the comedic arts – a vision already begun to be realized via the programming of the National Comedy Center’s dialogues, the renowned Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, and the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum.
Past festival performers and National Comedy Center dialogue participants in Jamestown include Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan, Lewis Black, Trevor Noah, W Kamau Bell, Jay Leno, Kelly Carlin, Brian Regan, Kevin James, Joan & Melissa Rivers, Robert Klein, David Steinberg, Paula Poundstone, Lisa Lampanelli, Peter Farrelly, Kathleen Madigan, Martin Short, Joy Behar, Kliph Nesteroff, Bill Engvall, Ray Romano, Ellen Degeneres, Bob Newhart, the Smothers Brothers, the creative team of David Letterman’s 33- year career, the families of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Harold Ramis, and more than 100 other comedic artists. With the funds in hand to build this unique national cultural institution, the National Comedy Center has shifted its fundraising focus to the endowment that will keep the Center a vibrant, ever-relevant destination; an institution with its finger on the pulse of comedy’s role in our culture – leading that conversation, and putting the larger meanings into context for generations to come. Jamestown, Chautauqua, and Western New York Located on beautiful Chautauqua Lake in western New York, Jamestown is Lucille Ball’s hometown and site of the National Comedy Center. It is within three hours of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Rochester and Syracuse, and within a day’s drive of 2/3 of the U.S. population including New York City. Each year Jamestown hosts the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, a weeklong celebration of all things comedy that attracts more than 20,000 annual visitors representing zip codes from more than 40 States each year over just four days. Chautauqua Lake is a popular tourist destination that keeps visitors coming to Jamestown all year long. It features 41 miles of shoreline, restaurants, bars, luxury homes and regional attractions including the world-renowned Chautauqua Institution. The Chautauqua Institution sees more than 100,000 visitors over the course of its nine-week summer program season (CHQ.org).

Contributed Article Audubon Community Nature Center
Jamestown, N.Y. – Audubon Community Nature Center awarded its 2018 Ryan Exline Memorial Scholarship to Christina McMillan of Jamestown, N.Y.
McMillan is a 2018 graduate of Jamestown High School who will begin studying environmental engineering at Cornell University in the fall. Deeply interested in the natural sciences, she was active in Jamestown High School’s Environmental Club and enjoys hiking and gardening. Her goal is to have an engineering job focused around wildlife preservation and habitat restoration.
Every spring since 2003 Audubon’s Education Staff has raised scholarship funds through their Fledgling Birdathon. Participants look for as many species as possible over a 24-hour period, and generous supporters pledge an amount, either per species or in total. The end result is a $500 scholarship.
This scholarship is named in memory of one of its very first recipients. Ryan Exline was an integral part of the Audubon family for many years, where he assisted with
gardening, eagle care, live animal care, and educational programs. A resident of Russell, Pennsylvania, he was pursuing a master’s degree at Duke University when he died in a car accident. His love of nature and of nurturing future generations of “nature nerds” lives on through this scholarship. Scholarship applicants must be local residents pursuing a degree in the natural sciences. Recipients must be passionate about the natural world. Previous scholarship winners are Heather Zimba, Taylor West, Brandon Allen, Connor Clendenen, Allison Cramer, Alex Kulakowski, Elyse Johnson, Brenton Maille, Alyssa D’Alessandro, Alexa Vazquez, Tricia Bergstue, Karen Eckstrom, Bill Langworthy, Rex Everett, Ryan Exline, and Eve Gaus.

Opera House Cinema Series to Screen “Hearts Beat Loud” Contributed Article Fredonia Opera House FREDONIA – The next feature film in the Opera House Cinema Series is the indie darling “Heart Beat Loud,” starring Nick Offerman and newcomer Kiersey Clemons. It will be screened on Sat., Aug. 4, and Tues., Aug. 7, at 7:30 p.m. In the hip Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook, single dad and record store owner Frank (Offerman) is preparing to send his hard-working daughter Sam off to college while being forced to close his vintage music shop. Hoping to stay connected through their shared musical passions, Frank urges Sam to turn their weekly jam sessions into a fatherdaughter live act. After their first song becomes an internet breakout, the two embark on a journey of love, growing up and musical discovery. Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com, calls the film “a truly sweet, funny, and downright likable comedy.” Peter Howell, in the Toronto Star, calls it “a movie you not only want to see, but also to put on the turntable.” Rafer Guzman, in Newsday, calls it “a sparkling gem with an indie-rock soul.” Kenneth Turan, in the Los Angeles Times, says “Frank and Sam make beautiful music together. No, that’s not a metaphor; it’s an accurate description that’s central to what makes ‘Hearts Beat Loud’ such an engaging endeavor.” Rated PG-13 for some drug references and brief language, “Hearts beat Loud” runs 97 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. Simply request one from any usher or Opera House staff member. The 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit performing arts center located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia.
