“This is our best group ever!” said
Meghan Murray, Jamestown High
School Red Raider Marching Band
director, speaking about this year’s
New York State championship. “It’s
great how they worked together,
right from the start.” The Marching
Band officially became “Number
One,” taking home 1st Place
honors, on Sunday,
October 26, at the
New York State Field
Band
Conference
Championships
in
Syracuse.
But of course, Murray
acknowledges with
pride, with previous
first place wins in 1991
and 2002, and a long history of
competitive successes, the Red
Raiders can honestly boast about
decades of “Best Ever” bands. The
nearly endless line of banners,
trophies, championship cups
and plaques that march around
the walls and cabinet tops of the

room prove that point
beyond any doubt.
Although
band
competition at JHS
dates back more than three
decades, including its first trips to
famous locations like Wildwood,
New Jersey, in 1982, a 1984
performance in New York City’s
Macy’s Parade, marching at Disney
World and many other spectacular
events, in May 2015 Jamestown
High School will celebrate the 90th
anniversary of its band program.
“Lou Deppas was here for 20 years
before me,” Murray said, now in her
ninth year as director, “and most of
the trophies are from his time, but
I’m happy to carry on that great
tradition if I can.”
It took even more than a great
band, an illustrious history and
a dedicated director to win the
New York State Field Band
championship for 2014, though.
“The band didn’t do it alone,”
Murray said. “Jamestown is a very
special place when it comes to
community
support for a
prize winning
program like
this.”
More Than a Band
“At least 100 parents, grandparents
and band alumni “march” with us
every time we hit the field,” Murray
said. “The Boosters are as much a
part of this championship as the
students themselves.”
Marching bands today have been
renamed “Field Bands” because

A stolid figure sits at the grand table, a host of
pages and event information at his fingertips.
With bright eyes and baritone voice, he
cheerfully recounts his tale, highlighting
special events and happy moments with
a hearty chuckle. “Really, I haven’t done
anything I dislike,” Lee Harkness, the General
Manager of the Jamestown Gateway Train
Station explains. A man dedicated to his
work and to the surrounding community, Lee
Harkness is a treasure to our area and has a
heart as big as Chautauqua Lake.
Harkness grew up in Cherry Creek, NY, but
his family originated in Randolph, NY. “I went
to Pine Valley High School - I was in the first
class!” He continued on to higher education
at Jamestown Community College. He also

became involved in the Chautauqua County
Department of Economic Development/
IDA as a Rural Development Specialist. “I
would try to use the ideas of the community,”
he explains. With these ideas at heart, he
created bonds with the people he was serving,
and solved problems one step at a time. “I
ended up working in every community in the
county,” Harkness laughs.
attended Cornell University in the late
sixties, studying Animal Science, along with
Economics and Business Administration.
From 1967 to 1969, he devoted his time and
efforts to the United States Army, working in
plans, training, and security. “In the long run,
it prepared me. It was a good experience.” he
explains. “I was responsible for emergency
medicals teams; we provided support for
Washington D.C.” Harkness moved back to
Randolph after his military service, joining
into the family business of selling feed and
operating a western wear and tack shop.
“In the first part of my life, I was a horse shoer,
until I went into the Army,” Harkness recalls.
“I’ve ridden about any kind of horse you’d
want.” Horses played a large role throughout
his life; from riding and breeding horses to
breaking and training them, Harkness was
very involved in matters of the equine. “I
relate well to animals,” He recalls. ”When you
go in in the morning and night, you’re always
talking to them– it was kind of relaxing.” This
kind spirit shows through in other facets of his
life, from his efforts in the community to his
Lee Harkness
charismatic manner.
With a vibrant career path, and wide
involvement in local organizations, Harkness
has focused on the community, but even
more so on what the people in the community
want and need. From 1994 to 2003, he
He later went on to become president of
several organizations, such as the Jamestown
Renaissance Corporation, the Chautauqua
County Business Bureau, the Randolph Area
Business Association, and the Cattaraugus
County Fair, as well as the Executive Director
of the Downtown Jamestown Development
Corporation. Harkness is also involved in
several organizations, such as Rotary of
Jamestown, Randolph American Legion,
Boy Scouts of America, New York State
Association of Fairs, and many more. While
he has put in a great amount of dedication
and effort over the years, he remains humble,
reflecting his accomplishments back onto the
community itself. “I think the community has

Field Band Conference Championship - 1st Place.
Marching With the Drummers
Community Wins a Championship
they do so much more than merely march.
“There was a time when great marching
and well played popular music could win a
championship,” Murray said. “But today, a
winning performance has to be theatrical. It
has to tell a whole story.” Props and scenes and
costumes and settings are as important as they
are in a Broadway play.
They learn accountability, responsibility
and discipline, too. And for some, the band
becomes a family that stays with them long
after graduation. That’s not exactly in the
budget, but it’s an important part of what the
budget and community support buys.”
This year’s winning performance by the Red
Raider Marching Band depicted the romance
and adventure of the 1849 California Gold
Rush.
“We help create leaders,” said Kris Paterniti,
current president of the Red Raiders Marching
Band Boosters. “The kids are amazing and it
is a pleasure.” The Boosters organization is
composed of five officers and as many as 50
to 100 parents, grandparents and alumni.
Kris’s husband, David Paterniti, heads the 26
member Pit Crew. “When something needs
to be done, they put their heads and hands
together and just make it happen.”
“I told our boosters what I needed one
Tuesday night” Murray said, “and by Thursday
night they had built me an entire gold mine
with its own railroad and figured out how
to bring it out on the field and set it up in
minutes for the show! They’re called our ‘Pit
Crew’ and they’re amazing.” The Boosters also
prepare meals on trips, create costumes and
props and accompany the students as their
“band family” at every event.
“You just can’t buy that kind of help,” Murray
said.
The Budget
Jamestown high school’s administration and
the Board of Education are very supportive of
the Red Raider Marching Band program and
make them an important part of the school’s
annual budget. However, according to Murray,
90 to 95 percent of the support in money
and volunteer labor comes directly from the
community. “That’s why I see a championship
like this as a wonderful way to thank the
community and repay their support,” Murray
said.
The marching band stands at about 100 strong
as the most public face of the 130 student
high school band program. Music is a credit
earning subject in the curriculum but the field
performances are strictly extracurricular.
“We teach more than music here,” Murray said.
“Band students learn to count on one another.
The Boosters
For away trips, the boosters bring drinks,
make sandwiches, grill dogs and burgers and
generally help make the trips safe, fun and
help create the performances by supervising,
shipping, movement of instruments and
props.
The Boosters play a key role in fundraising,
too. The Fall Festival of Bands in September of
every year is always the year’s first competition
at home. It is also the biggest fundraiser of the
year. The boosters start the parents meetings
early in August to begin preparing for the
festival. They staff the food concessions, set
up tents and tables, buy, grill and serve the
food and make many the arrangements that
make the festival and the football season the
great Jamestown autumn tradition that it has
become over the years.
One More Time
We really appreciate, and need, the
community’s continuing support,” Murray
said. When people see band members at any
one of the 120 locations we set up every year
for contributions, we’d like them to invest
in our next championship, but even more
important, in the lives of our amazing young
people.”

When is Music More?
By Walt Pickut
If you ask what music is, you’ll get as many
answers as the people you ask. As those old
noble Romans told their kids who didn’t
like their parents’ music, De gustibus non
disputandum est, or in plain English, “In
matters of taste, there can be no disputes.”
My dictionary says music is “…any sounds
combined to produce beauty of form,
harmony, and expression of emotion.”
According to that definition, my uncle
Charley’s
1955
Ford
Thunderbird
Convertible with its Interceptor V8 engine
purring seductively in the driveway makes
the very music of heaven… for some people.
I happen to like bands and orchestras and
groups, whether it’s Barbershop or Beetles,
Bebop jazz or the Vienna Boy’s Choir.
When people play together they make
beautiful music… and sometimes, they make
something more than music while they play,
almost like a good medicine for what ails you.
Bob Marley said, “One good thing about
music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
It can harmonize life itself, as Marley’s old
friend, Plato, once said, “Music is a moral
law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the
mind, flight to the imagination, and charm
and gaiety to life and to everything.”
If you look around today you’ll find a few
places where that kind of thing is needed in
our world. The good news this week in the
Jamestown Gazette is that where it might be
needed most it is also being made.
We invite you to march with the band this
week. The Jamestown High School Red
Raider Marching Band makes prize winning
music…1st Prize in New York State as a
matter of fact. Become a supporter or a
Booster and you’ll be making your own kind
of music with them, even if you can’t blow a
horn or bang a drum.
But there’s one more kind of music they
make. It’s the music, harmony of expression
those students make when they learn what
it takes to work together, to hold each other
accountable to play their parts, to learn the
discipline of practice and the striving to
become ever better at their art and craft.
Cooperation to achieve a higher purpose is
a kind of music in itself and it is something
everyone can play at, and maybe even learn
about from the best of our youth.
This week, listen to the music, and as always,
enjoy the read.

gotten a lot of things done that others are just starting to think about,” he explains.
Currently, Lee Harkness is the General Manager of the Jamestown Gateway Train Station. “I’m
here seven days a week,” he says. “This place got busier quicker than anybody thought.” Kept
busy with local events, business meetings, and more, Harkness seldom has a moment to himself.
“There really is not any time,” he says, wistfully. Thankfully, he enjoys the tranquility and quiet
of the countryside. “I like living in the country – I’ve got about 70 acres.”
From horse shoer to soldier, to organization president and onward, Lee Harkness has always
kept the people he was serving in his heart. “I actually like most everybody,” he says with a
smile. Clearly a servant-leader, a kind soul, and a dedicated worker, Harkness has listened to the
people, learned through experience, and brought about lasting change in Jamestown and the
surrounding areas. “Jamestown is very fortunate and has come a long way,” he muses as he looks
out over the rail way.

FAITH
Denomination to
Temporarily Withdraw
Workers from Guinea
Submitted by:
November 3, 2014
FaithMatters
I Was Hungry
C&MA Alliance
nearly 100 turkeys for families in need in our
community. Our local school children are
preparing to send care packages to troops
overseas just like the Lutheran Church
sent thousands of “baskets of promise”
to developing nations last Lent. And that
doesn’t even touch the on-going ministry
made possible by the donations of faithful
people pooled among many denominations
to help fight world hunger, refugee work,
disaster response, and so much more.
The U.S. Christian and Missionary Alliance (The Alliance) made the difficult decision to
temporarily withdraw all personnel from Guinea, West Africa, for several months to better
assess long-term implications regarding staff location and ministry. This decision was reached
based on current realities regarding the rapid spread of the Ebola virus.
Frequent contact with citizens in Conakry, where the majority of Alliance workers in Guinea
serve, continues to place these workers at an elevated risk of exposure to the contagion.
Although no team members have been in direct bodily contact with known Ebola victims, the
public nature of Alliance ministries in Guinea will pose an increasing threat of exposure to these
workers based on World Health Organization projections for the escalation of the infection rate.
“Many of our Alliance workers put their lives on the line every day by serving in places of
great risk around the world,” say Pastor Wayne Eppehimer in Jamestown, Pastor Lyle Leach
in Dewittville and Pastor Marc A. Samworth in Frewsburg, in a joint communiqué from the
local congregations, and “As a U.S. Alliance church, we feel privileged to support these frontline
workers by praying specifically for them and setting aside a portion of our giving to make sure
they remain equipped to care for the immense physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of
hurting and displaced people throughout the world.”
They also note the danger to those involved in Ebola awareness training in West Africa.
Recently, Rev. Moise Mamy, a Guinean national worker affiliated with The Alliance, was brutally
murdered while teaching villagers how to avoid contracting the disease.
Most workers being withdrawn will relocate to other countries in West Africa, where they will
resume church-related ministries and find new opportunities to care for the sick and afflicted.
The few workers returning to the States will observe all reentry protocols established by the U.S.
Center for Disease Control.
“Because our values are rooted in service during such crises, it is with heavy hearts that our
team is planning this move,” writes Tim Crouch, U.S. Alliance vice president for International
Ministries. “We are working in earnest with the national church in Guinea to ensure that the
withdrawal is executed in a way that provides for ongoing service through national channels and
promising bridges for return of staff. In the meantime, however, the risks continue to grow, and
we must operate in a way that minimizes the threat to our workers and serves the best interest
of U.S. health and security.”
Contributing Writer
Pastor Shawn Hannon
Hope Lutheran Church, Arcade, NY
There’s a song I was first introduced to when
my church council gathered with two other
churches for 5 strategic visioning sessions
in East Aurora earlier this year. As we ended
our last session with communion we sang a
song that was meant to remind us why we
were there in the first place. It was called
“I Was Hungry.” The lyrics follow Jesus’
words from Matthew 25, and we sang,
“I was hungry, and you gave me bread.
Homeless, you gave a place to lay my head.
I was naked, you clothed me.
I was imprisoned, and you set me free.”
Since we sang that song last May the lyrics
have been racing through my head, but
full disclosure: It’s not because it’s a catchy
tune. It’s because every time I turn around it
seems like someone or some group of folks
are living it out. Because everywhere I look
I get to witness people becoming Christ for
their neighbor in need.
As I write this our newest ministry at Hope,
Brother’s Keeper, InC., is preparing for its
3rd major construction project this year
(we hope to put a new roof on the back
portion of a member’s house by winter). In
just two weeks, I’ve seen 5 churches collect
Jesus said,
“The Righteous will say, ‘Lord, when was it
that we saw you hungry and gave you food,
or thirsty and gave you something to drink?
And when was it that we saw you a stranger
and welcomed you, or naked and gave you
clothing? And when was it that we saw you
sick or in prison and visited you?’” And he
answered, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to
one of the least of these who are members of my
family, you did it to me.”
(Matthew 25:31-46)
We are entering a time of the year where
everyone seems to have the giving spirit,
and I am thankful for all the ways people
are and will continue to reach out to those
in need in the next two months. They need
it (really need it), and God calls us to do
it (really do it). But more than that, for
reaching out to the least of these all year
and at all times. Each time you do, not only
are you helping Jesus himself, but you are
acting as Jesus himself.
Thanks be to God for you! Keep It Up!

He is currently working on his capstone project, which, like
“Niche,” explores elements of the microscopic natural world. He
hopes this project will aid in improving his filmmaking techniques
and refine his storytelling abilities. Searle hopes to ultimately
pursue a career as a cinematographer, as well as produce and shoot
nature documentaries.
State University of New York at Fredonia senior Ben Searle’s
short film, “Niche,” won two awards at the Toronto Student
Film Festival – the CBC Documentary Channel Award for
Best Documentary, as well as the Vistek Award for Best
Cinematography.
“Ben is a great student, and I’m very happy for his achievement,”
said Associate Professor Phil Hastings, for whose class Searle

The 2014 Toronto Student Film Festival received approximately
250 entries, 70 percent of which were international. The executive
committee pre-screened these entries and then selected 21 finalists.
The 21 films were then curated by the guest jurors, including
director Sarah Goodman, who is one of the executive producers
of “Gossip Girl;” Maxine Bailey, vice president of Advancement
at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Professor Kass

through with this type of pursuit, and I believe when students
take these actions, it indicates a willingness to engage in their
education and professional growth. Too often course work done
by students has no context other than it being an assignment,
but artists and filmmakers have these wonderful opportunities
to see how it is received through real world settings such as
festivals or gallery shows,” added Hastings.
The Toronto Student Film Festival was founded in 2006 to promote
and showcase the work that young filmmakers are creating around
the world. The festival takes place at the University of Toronto
in the Isabel Bader Theater, where winners in 13 categories are
awarded prizes ranging from cash to film programs to scholarships.
Hastings went on to note that professionals’ appreciation and
acknowledgment often act as a strong incentive for students to
continue their hard work and effort, as well as validate the work
of the film and video arts program at Fredonia.
Searle, a senior in the Department of Visual Arts and New
Media from Randolph, N.Y., created “Niche” in his advanced
experimental video class. He identifies his film as “an exploration

Martz
Observatory
Four Billion Year Old
Ghost Light Arrives Just
in Time for Halloween
Submitted by:
Walt Pickut
MMMAA Board of Directors
In the spirit of Halloween the Martz
Observatory in Frewsburg, New York,
announces that NASA has added a
spooky cosmic twist to this Halloween.
The Hubble Space Telescope has just
made an unexpected discovery of eerie
“ghost light” emitted from the remains of
a multi-galaxy massacre 6 billion years in
the making and 4 billion light-years away.
According to Space.com, “As many as
six galaxies roughly the size of our own
Milky Way met their grisly deaths at the
hands of gravity. The celestial bloodbath
occurred over a period of 6 billion years
when a group of galaxies collided with
each other in a cataclysm of unimaginable
proportions.”
About 200 billion stars, many millions of
them possibly home to suns and Earthlike planets like ours, were torn from
their home galaxies in the smashups
and hurled on lonely trajectories out
into deep space. The Hubble Space
Telescope has now found those lone stars
wandering the region of space where
their parent galaxies were once “pulled
apart like taffy,” NASA officials say.
The individual lost stars from those
galaxies were seen emitting a “faint,
ghostly glow” by utilizing the Hubble
Space Telescope’s unique capabilities
over a three year period of observations.
The region where these massive
collisions took place — officially known
as Abell 2744 — is nicknamed “Pandora’s
Cluster.”
Astronomers have been searching for the
light from these orphaned stars for many
years, but their collective light has been
found to only make up about 10 percent
of the total light from Pandora.
According to Space.com’s reporter, Calla
Cofield, however, the researchers who
discovered the ghostly glow don’t appear
to be frightened by their discovery,
Halloween or not.
Happy Halloween to Jamestown Gazette

Observatory, where deep space and the

Jamestown Board of Public Utilities Announces
2015 Energy Efficiency Rebate Programs
Article Contributed by
Jamestown BPU
The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU)
today approved its Energy Efficiency Rebate
Programs for 2015. Only two programs have
changed.
The ENERGY STAR Rebate Program continues
into 2015, with one rebate increase for the
coming year. The ENERGY STAR Rebate
Program offers the following rebate credits for
the purchase of certain, new ENERGY STAR
products:
Residential Window $35 Skylights $25
Residential Entry Door $50 HVAC Heat Pumps
$500 per ton#, up from $250 per ton
Through the Wall A/C Unit $100* Central Air
Conditioning Units $100 per ton#
* indicates minimum of 12,000 BTU
# one ton of heating or cooling capacity equals
approximately 12,000BTU
Participants in this program may mail or bring
into Customer Service the receipt from the
purchase of the new product, the completed
rebate form and the energy guide label from the
manufacturer. For windows, skylights and entry
doors, the original NFRC labels also must be
provided. Rebate forms are supplied by BPU
Customer Service or may be downloaded from
www.jamestownbpu.com.
Upon verification, the rebate will be issued
in the form of a credit on the electric bill. For
rental property owners, rebates less than $500
will be applied as credits to the accounts. If the
rebate exceeds the $500 limit, the rental property
owner may request a check for the rebate.
The limit for BPU ENERGY STAR rebate credits
is $1,000 per customer account per calendar
year and $5,000 per year for rental property
owners. Rebate applications take 4-6 weeks for
processing.
Home Energy Audits & Weatherization Rebates
for Residential Customers
New York State offers free home energy audits
to homeowners who make less than $108,000 a
year under its New York State Energy Research
Development Authority (NYSERDA) Green
Jobs, Green New York program. BPU electric
customers who complete projects as a result
of such audits – performed by a BPI-certified
contractor - may be eligible for BPU rebate
credits.
For BPU electric customers making more than
$108,000 a year, the BPU offers subsidized
audits at a fee of $100. Again, work suggested by
the audit is eligible for rebates.
Jamestown BPU rebates will cover twentyfive percent of the cost of the weatherization
improvements, with a $1,500 maximum limit
per audit, for all residential electric customers.
They will cover fifty percent, up to $3,000,
for customers who have used electric as their
primary heat source for at least three years. Upon
verification, rebates will be issued in the form of
a check, within four-six weeks of the date that the
rebate request is received.
NYSERDA also provides rebates as a result of
their free audits. Rebates of ten percent up to
a $3,000 maximum are available on eligible
measures. Rebates of fifty percent, up to $5,000,
are available on eligible measures for households
with annual income below eighty percent of the
state median ($65,000 for a family of four).
NYSERDA offers low interest loan financing.
For more information on NYSERDA programs,
visit the www.nyserda.ny.gov website.
Audits include blower door testing, thermal
imaging photography to locate air leakage and
assess insulation levels, electrical metering of
large appliances, a lighting review, combustion
efficiency tests for natural gas-fired heating and
hot water tanks, carbon monoxide and gas leak
detection and more.
Residential Attic Insulation Program
The BPU’s third energy efficiency residential
program is the Residential Attic Insulation
Program which is designed to assist electric
customers who use permanently installed
electric heating equipment as the residence’s
primary heat source.
Rebates are limited to fifty percent of the cost
of material; $500 maximum per building and
$5,000 per person.
Participating customers must submit a picture
showing the depth of insulation before and after
the installation. The pictures may be submitted
with the original receipt or invoice from the
insulation purchase and the rebate form.
Rebates are available for fiberglass and cellulose
insulation.
Rebates are in the form of a check and take foursix weeks for processing.
Lighting and Motor Rebates for Commercial and
Industrial Customers
The Lighting and Motor Rebates Program for
BPU commercial and industrial customers
promotes investment in new high quality lighting
and motor equipment that operate at a very high
level of electrical efficiency. Commercial and
industrial electric customers classified as Service
Class 2 or 3 qualify for the program.
The purchase cost of new, permanently-installed
light fixtures, ballasts, bulbs, sockets, LED exit
signs, occupancy sensors, electric motor and
variable speed drives all qualify for the program.
LED Light fixtures of 200 watts or greater have
been added to the program with a $400 rebate
each. Certain restrictions apply, so interested
customers should stop at BPU Customer Service
for a program brochure or click on the energy
efficiency opportunities icon on the home page
at www.jamestownbpu.com.
Portable equipment and labor costs to install
equipment are not included.
Companies are limited to a maximum of $15,000
of rebates annually. The rebates are in the form
of a check.
Weatherization for Commercial and Industrial
Customers Program
This commercial and industrial program is
open to customers classified as Service Class 2
and 3 who use electric or district heat as their
primary heat source. The goal of the program is
to encourage investment in improvement of the
thermal envelope of the customer’s building to
lower energy consumption.
Rebates up to $10,000 annually are offered for
windows, glass doors, air ceiling, strip doors
and insulation of walls, ceilings, floors and pipes.
Full information is available at BPU Customer
Service, at www.jamestownbpu.com or by
contacting BPU Energy Efficiency Coordinator
Dan Reynolds.
Any project with a total anticipated rebate of
$1,000 or more must contact Reynolds to gain
pre-approval.
Customized Incentive Program for Commercial &
Industrial Customers
The Customized Incentive Program is available
to commercial and industrial customers who
improve energy efficiency at their businesses in
a way that they think is most beneficial to them.
They essentially design a program and suggest
it to the BPU as a way to improve their own
facilities’ energy efficiency.
Commercial and industrial electric customers
classified as Service Class 2, 3 or 6 qualify for the
program.
The companies are limited to a maximum of
$15,000 in rebates annually.
Under the program, customers are paid based on
energy savings (kWh) or a specific amount for
each kWh of electricity saved. These savings may
result from efficiency measures that the company
has researched on their own. Customers
have to provide supporting documentation to
demonstrate potential energy savings.
Energy efficiency measures that could receive
funding under the custom incentive program
include but are not limited to: building system
automation, heat recovery systems, natural
lighting, efficient equipment, fixing leaks in
air systems, reflective surfaces for roofs and
windows and air or ground source heat pumps.
Any project that would not be covered by another
BPU energy efficiency program may qualify.
All projects must receive pre-approval from
Jamestown BPU Energy Efficiency Coordinator
Dan Reynolds.
For all questions about any of the 2015 BPU
Energy Efficiency Programs, electric customers
may contact Reynolds at 661-1646 or by e-mail:
dreynolds@jamestownbpu.com. Information
about all the programs is available at www.

that Kevin Saff has been appointed the Director
of Senior Housing following the retirement of
Sharon Hamilton.

Journey From New England
The Mayflower Families, The Women
of the Mayflower, and Mayflower
Descendants for those attempting to
contact with the Mayflower. A reference
titled Early Massachusetts Marriages
contains hundreds of records that could
be helpful in finally finding that maiden
name you have been searching for.
“I’m delighted to welcome Kevin to Lutheran,”
said Tom Holt, President and CEO. “He’s
someone I’ve known for years and I’ve admired
his work from a distance. I have always been
impressed by his professionalism, his sense of
family, and his commitment to the community.”
Saff is a native of the area graduating from
Jamestown Community College.
He
continued his education at Rochester Institute
of Technology, served as Captain in the United
States Army and earned a Masters’ Degree in
Strategic Leadership from Roberts Wesleyan
College after returning to the area. He has
held several positions related to seniors and
housing, including administrator for both the
Warner Home and the Suites at the Rouse and
director for Loyalton of Lakewood. For the past
eleven years, Saff was the Executive Director
of Jamestown Area Medical Associates, where
he was successful in working closely with the
developer and architectural team to bring the
Riverwalk Medical Center from conception to
completion.
“The traits that have supported his career to
this point will help ensure Kevin’s success at
Lutheran,” Holt said. “We are experiencing
a sea of change in the field of aging services,
so Kevin joins us at a very exciting time. His
energy, passion for working with seniors,
and service to community make him a great
addition to our team.”
Saff heads up all of Lutheran Senior Housing,
which includes seven HUD subsidized
housing units, the Senior Life Matters outreach
program, and Edgewood Communities, which
offers a beautiful and vibrant community for
adults age 55 years and older. Edgewood is
located on the Lutheran Campus off Falconer
Street in Jamestown and includes one and two
bedroom apartments, duplex homes and the
new Smartment® Building.
“I’m very excited to be joining the Lutheran
Team and getting to know the people we
serve,” said Saff. “Lutheran has a proud
and longstanding traditional of providing
supportive services to the residents of this
region. With the growing population of
Baby Boomers turning 65, and subsequently
entering their retirement years, senior care
and senior living options are quickly coming
to the forefront of issues impacting the U.S.
I look forward to looking outside the box of
senior housing possibilities and enhancing
Edgewood Communities’ robust independent
housing options and offerings.”

After the Revolutionary War, people
began to migrate west, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and
Vermont all contributed to this westward
flow of settlers. At first, these folks moved
primarily into eastern Pennsylvania and
New York. As more land opened up, they
continued their westward travel. Not
long after the Revolutionary War over
two million acres in Genesee County
was ceded to Massachusetts. Much of
this land was purchased by two men
who divided it up into townships and
then began selling it to individuals. This
process continued over many years
gradually bringing a large number of the
early settlers to Chautauqua County.
Perhaps your family took part in this
migration from New England.
Whether you are researching family
history or general history of our area,
there are literally dozens of resources
located at the Hall Research Center at
the Fenton available for you to use. One
of the best places to start is The New
England Historical and Genealogical
Register. We have 153 volumes as well as
an index to this set of books.

for a playoff run, essentially letting the
pack into the post-season party. The
Packers repaid the favor by knocking
the “rested” Bears out of the playoffs in
the conference championship.
Contributing Writer
Bill Burk
“It’s not how you start. It’s how you finish,
I guess.”
Doug Armstrong
In the last ten Super Bowls the NFL
team with the lower regular season
winning percentage has beaten the team
with the higher percentage six times.
The team that had to (was fortunate to?)
play a first-round wild-card game has
won half those games (5), compared to
only two wild card teams that have lost,
and the team that had a first-round bye
has lost eight of the last ten. That feels
a little like a trend to me. Take a look
at the list.
The ’12 Giants might have been worse
than the ’08 Giants; they had a worse
regular season record. Eli manning
looked pedestrian almost all the time.
Except when he was orchestrating comebacks in five of their nine wins. Just an
incredible feat, and the kind of karma
you ride to a world championship.
The ’13 Ravens looked like all the other
Ravens teams you’d ever seen; built on
defense, which in this case wasn’t all that
good. They had no chance, until Joe
Flacco impersonated Joe Montana, and
got hotter than any other player in the
playoffs, and Ray Lewis consummated
his own devilish pact.
And that brings me to this.
The team that wins the Super Bowl
almost always gets hot at the end of the
year (devil-worshipping Patriots and
hate-able Terrible-Towel-Waving-OneFor-The-Thumb-Steelers teams being
the notable exceptions). So why, if you
could, wouldn’t you set up your season

Let’s break this list down:
The ’04, and ‘05 Patriots (Pats) teams
were dominant and destined. They
were blessed…or in another scenario,
you could picture Belichick and
Beelzebub shaking hands in an antigentlemen’s agreement for those two
years. I understand you need luck and
a few bounces to go your way to win in
the league, but there was an inordinate
number of things that went exactly right
for those Super Bowl teams.
The ’08 Giants team that beat a 16-0
Pats team (did the devil contract come
due Bill?) looked HORRIBLE for
most of the year. They had to win their
final game to even get in the playoffs,
but developed a wicked pass rush that
carried them through the playoffs and
knocked the Pats off the unbeaten
pedestal.
The ’11 Packers got into the playoffs
by beating the Bears in the last game
of the season 10-6; a game where the
Bears rested a lot of their team to prep
Playoff berth
to do exactly that? If you’re Denver, for
instance, why wouldn’t you rest players
during the regular season, maybe risk a
loss (maybe not), and get them ready
for the end of the season? They’ve built
a 6-1 record, some pretty good winningpercentage equity; why not parlay that
into an “end-of-the-season-hot-streak?”
Teams with nothing to play for in weeks
16 or 17 always debate sitting players,
why not flip the script and do it earlier
in the season? Going 15-1 in the regular
season doesn’t help you win the big one
(ask the 1998 Vikings). I’m not saying
sit Peyton Manning every game, but I
am saying this; Denver was favored last
Super Bowl because of their sustained
excellence…and they lost by a hundred
to a team that got very hot at the right
time. Turns out it happens a lot.

OK kids, you learned your numbers and
letters, and by high school some history and
geometry too. So how about those pesky
colors, like red and green? Yesterday a
couple of young Jamestown scholars
crossed in the crosswalk while the light was
green for me and looked very confused when I almost
ran you down. You would have been lucky to crawl back to
the curb. It happens a lot. Is there
something you don’t understand?

Help the Fight Against Cancer
Article Contributed by

The Jamestown High School Lady Raider
Varsity and JV Soccer teams recently raised
$573 for the fight against breast cancer by
participating in the “Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer Walk” on Sunday. Over 20
players and two coaches, JHS Varsity Soccer
Head Coach, Maggie Dalton, and Volunteer
Assistant Coach, Paul Abbott, participated in
the fundraising walk.
“Collecting donations and participating in the
walk has actually been a tradition of the Girls
Soccer Program,” Ms. Dalton. “I think it is
great that we keep the tradition going as a way
for the girls to be involved, and to give back,
to those in need. I was very pleased with the
girls who volunteered their time and showed
up for a nice, chilly walk!”
“I think it’s encouraging that we are able to
help out women who have, or have had, breast
cancer,” said JHS Senior and Co-Captain,
Katie Andalora. “We never know if one day we
too will be diagnosed with it, and hopefully
when we grow older the younger generation
of girls will also help support us. Since I was a
freshman, this has always been a highlight of
the soccer season. Aside from the walk itself,
we also ‘pink the field’ during warm-ups of
every soccer game in October. It’s important
that we take part in such a serious issue and
I’m glad we were able to help where we could!”

Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs
entered Ralph Wilson Stadium as one
of the National Football League’s best
teams, and they happened to have an
8-0 record. Despite that, the Buffalo
Bills gave the Chiefs everything they
could handle, and then some. Buffalo
controlled the majority of the game,
before Kansas City pulled away with the
big play being a 100-yard interception
return for a touchdown thrown by then
Bills quarterback, Jeff Tuel. The Chiefs
ended up winning the game 23-13.
This Sunday, the Bills and Chiefs will
meet again at the “Ralph,” and this
showdown has major implications
when it comes to standings in the AFC.
At the time of this writing, Kansas City
has a record of 4-3, and the Bills have
a record of 5-3. Both teams could put
themselves in a much better position for
a potential Wild Card birth with a win
Sunday.
The Chiefs have been playing well of
late, picking up victories in the past
month against some of the AFC’s best
in the New England Patriots, and San
Diego Chargers (both teams the Bills
have lost to this season). Kansas City
has one of the NFL’s best defenses as
well, holding opposing quarterbacks to
For the Bills, Kyle Orton is coming
off of a four touchdown performance
against the New York Jets. It looks like
Orton is also beginning to develop a
solid relationship with rookie, wide
reciever Sammy Watkins, who had 175
receiving yards against the Jets. If Orton
and Watkins continue to be on the same
page, that could be great news for Bills
fans. The challenge in this game will be
finding success in the running game,
and finding ways to get Watkins the ball
against a great Chiefs secondary.
The Bills defense was outstanding
against the Jets. The defensive line
continued their relentless pursuit of
opposing quarterbacks, and the defense
as a whole forced six total turnovers
against New York (4 interceptions,
2 fumbles). Jets quarterback Geno
Smith completed more passes to Bills
defensive players, than he completed to
his own receivers.
This should be a really entertaining
game. Expect a defensive battle, with
plenty of hard hits, and big plays. If the
Bills can manage to find ways to move
the ball against the Chiefs D, then they
have a good chance of pulling out the
victory. Go Bills!

Walmart Surprises Bush Elementary School
Teachers With Teacher Rewards Program

local kindergarten through eighth grade public school
to receive the donation each year.
Jamestown Public Schools
Bush Elementary School teachers recently received
a wonderful surprise from Walmart at an all-school
assembly to the cheers of their student body. Twenty
teachers were randomly selected to receive a $50
dollar gift card as part of Walmart’s Teacher Rewards
Program.
“We know how important it is that teachers have the
supplies they need and many pay for their classroom
supplies out-of-pocket,” said Lisa Anderson, Lakewood
Walmart Personnel Manager. “We are so happy to give
back to our community to directly help children in our
schools.”
These funds come at a critical time, as U.S. teachers
going back to school will often spend their own money
to ensure their students have the supplies they need to
learn throughout the school year. Winning teachers
can use the funds to purchase essential items for their
classrooms such as paper, folders, binders, clipboards,
pens, pencils, crayons and markers.
The Teacher Reward Program helps offset the cost of classroom
expenses for teachers across the country. Walmart chooses one
“We appreciate Walmart choosing Bush School this
year. It really helps our teachers to receive a gift card
that will enable them purchase supplies for their
classrooms. We can’t thank Walmart enough for this
donation,” said Bush Elementary School Principal, Dan Bracey.

Premiere Les Misérables
Article Contributed by
Jamestown Community College
Performances of Les Misérables begin at 7:30
p.m. and will be presented on November 7-8,
13-15, and 19-22 and at 2 p.m. on November
9 and 16 in Scharmann Theatre on JCC’s
Jamestown Campus.
“The production by an outstanding cast
promises to be the biggest undertaking yet for
the JCC Uncommoners,” said director Robert
Schlick. “It features an elaborate set and
costuming. Eighty-five people are involved
in bringing it to the stage, including a large
technical crew, an 18-piece orchestra, and 40
actors playing various roles.”
Set in early 19th century France and based on
the novel by Victor Hugo, “Les Misérables”
is the story of Jean Valjean, a French peasant,
and his quest for redemption after serving 19
years in jail for having stolen a loaf of bread for
his starving sister’s child.
Valjean decides to break his parole after a
kindly bishop inspires him by a tremendous
act of mercy, but he is relentlessly pursued
by a police inspector named Javert. Along the
way, Valjean and a slew of characters are swept
into a revolutionary period in France.
In its original 1987 Broadway production,
“Les Misérables” ran for 6,680 performances
and won eight Tony awards, including
Best Musical. The production, considered
a modern day opera, features the songs: “I
Dreamed a Dream,” “Who Am I?” “Castle
on a Cloud,” “Master of the House,” “Red
and Black,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?,”
“In My Life,” “On My Own,” “A Little Fall of
Rain,” “Drink With Me,” “Bring Him Home,”
and “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables.”
Tickets can be purchased by calling JCC’s
box office at 716.338.1187 or online at www.

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS
With No Rate Increase for Sixth
Consecutive Year
Article Contributed by
Jamestown BPU
The Jamestown Board of Public Utilities
(BPU) voted today to approve the 2015
Wastewater Division budget with no rate
increase in the coming year.
“This 2015 budget provides no rate increase
in this division for the sixth consecutive year,”
noted BPU General Manager David Leathers.
“We are very proud of this achievement and of
our ability to control rates for our wastewater
customers.”
The 2015 division budget calls for operating
expenses of $4.8 million, which is 6.7%
more than projected operating expenses
for 2014. The most significant increase is
collection labor of $107,000 to administer
the dye-testing sewer inspection program to
control storm water inflow into the sanitary
system. Other increases include $74,000 for
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) labor
and $50,000 for professional engineering
services related to the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation
consent order. The 2015 WW Tax Equivalent
Payment is budgeted at $439,959.
The 2015 capital budget stands at $1.23
million. Major project expenses for 2015
include $565,000 for equipment replacement
and facilities improvements at the WWTP;
$540,000 for sewer replacements and other
collection system improvements; and
$125,000 for vehicle replacements and safety
equipment.
