Jamestown’s Landmark FigureSkating Competition to be Held ThisWeekend
Jamestown’s landmark figure skatingcompetition Skate Chautauqua will beheld this weekend, August 14-15, 2009at the Jamestown Savings Bank IceArena. This is the annual event that hasgiven Jamestown a stellar reputationfor producing figure skating events.
Skate Chautauqua has presentedcountless National Champions,National Medalists, InternationalMedalists, World and Olympiccompetitors. Sarah Hughes, 2002Olympic Champion skated to victoryat Skate Chautauqua in 1997 andalways says that Jamestown is whereher ‘winning streak’ began. MikiAndo, 2007 World Champion, wongold medals at Skate Chautauqua just 3years ago in 2005. Kimmie Meissner,2006 World Champion, skated to goldmedals at Skate Chautauqua in 2002and Jennifer Kirk, the 2000 JuniorWorld Champion was a winner inJamestown in 1998.
Who will you see August 14 & 15at the JSB Ice Arena? You neverknow! Can you pick the next OlympicChampion from the line up? It’s quitelikely a champion will again skate herethis year.Skate Chautauqua has been the catalyst
that has allowed Jamestown SkatingClub and Jamestown to win the bidsto present the 2005 U.S. Junior FigureSkating Championships and the 2009,2007 and 2004 North Atlantic RegionalFigure Skating Championships. All of this greatly contributes to the economic
development of the Jamestown/Chautauqua area – and SkateChautauqua is proud to make thesemajor contributions to the community.The Skating Academy and JamestownSkating Club have given Jamestowna reputation for presenting the highestlevel amateur figure skating eventsin United States, and as a result haveintroduced thousands of visitors toJamestown.
The prestige of Skate Chautauquacan be attributed to the support of theJamestown community and volunteers.Great opportunities are created forskaters at Skate Chautauqua to bepresented in a professional atmosphere,be critiqued by World and International
judges, and have valuable interactionbetween coaches, judges, and skaters.The public is welcome to attend Skate
Chautauqua. This year, complimentsof Chautauqua Ice and Jamestown

of eliminations. After givingthe first contestants a weekwithout eliminations to workout their jitters, and rehearsesome songs the competition
started with performances andeliminations every Mondaynight at the Pops concertlocation on Bemus Bay.
As the competition has goneon contestants have had toperform up to ten songs overthe summer. The performancenights were organized aroundmusical themes, constantshad to work up songs from:the Beatles, to Andrew Lloyd
ebber, as well as country, andclassic rock. The judges madecomments to the singers andthose are not eliminated wenton to perform the followingweek. For the most part theudges keep their comments to
constructive criticism, unlikeon that TV show, says Andrew,“Do we have a Simon Cowellper say? No!”
In talking to finalist Shawnilder, his enthusiasm almost
umps through the phone,
“I’ve had so much fun! I’mso happy I’ve gotten this far.”He goes on, “You have noidea the feeling, you know,of being up there in front of everybody, when everybodyis watching you and yoursinging with the band…it’s
just overwhelming.”The performers chose an
appropriate for the week andsend a copy to John Crossand the Babalu Band (theIdol performance band). Theyare then given just two run-throughs of the song with theband on performance night.While this might intimidateanother singer Shawn seemsto thrive on it, saying of the band, “Oh man, they’reamazing! They’re wonderfulguys. They have fun rightalong with you. They makeyour song theirs and youmake their song yours…It’sawesome!”Shawn admits that some of the music themes put him out
of his country music comfortzone, but he appears to havehandled them well. Shawnsees himself pursuing a careerin country western musicand is considering moving toNashville.
Another of the finalists isKira Chadwick, who is nostranger to performing, havingdone numerous musicaltheatre performances in thearea. She, like Shawn seemsto be having a blast, “I’m justso happy and thrilled that Imade it to the final three!”Unlike Shawn, Kira seems to
be happy singing just aboutanything, “I like a little hip-hop, a little country, I loveclassic rock, I like anything…Ilove show tunes.” But singingis not in Kira’s career path, asshe plans to be a kindergartenteacher.
Rather than be competitivethe finalists appear to becomegood friends, Kira, herboyfriend and Shawn havebeen known to go out andsing karaoke together, andboth speak highly of eachother and Steve Davis (I wasunable to contact Steve beforepublication). No matter whathappens on Monday night
those that don’t win are sureto be thrilled for the winner.No matter what career paththe contestants choose, SE93’sChautauqua Lake Idol willgive audiences a glimpse of future greatness.

It’s the middle of Augustand the living is easy! Perhaps‘relaxing’ would be a betterchoice of words, as life herereally starts to slow down toa nice little pace about thistime of year. Perhaps it’s theweather, or the water, or thehappy people who are just sodarned glad to be here. Butone thing’s for sure – if you’reliving or visiting ChautauquaCounty right now, you are onefortunate individual!
After all, we’re blessedwith beautiful lakes,gorgeous grapes, wonderful
wineries and more culinaryopportunities than you canpossibly tackle in one summerof overeating. Chautauqua’scultural events are quiteliterally second to none, andthe resort centers available tous are truly amazing. But wetry to experience it all anyway,don’t we?
Well, that’s totallyunderstandable. Justremember to have fun, be niceto those who serve you andtake deep breaths of the clean,crisp air. It’s just good for yoursoul! Until next week… JZ-B
“They’ll come out asindividual units and thenplay two tunes together,”Clark said. The morningmassed band will play thetunes “Scotland the Braveand Wings” and “BonnieDundee.” The clans will beintroduced during the massedband and led off the field by asolo piper.
“We’re trying somethingnew,” Clark said about theevening massed band. Theunits will march onto the fieldindividually, then gather in asemicircle to play two sets of tunes (“Green Hills & Battle’sOre” followed by “AmazingGrace”).
The massed bands are animpressive site and sound,Clark said. “We get about 100pipers. It’s pretty cool.”
Although the pipe bands arethe focus of the festival, theyaren’t the only part. Celticthemed food and vendorswill round out the festival,along with area Celtic musicand dance groups. The AnitaMountain Highland Dancers,from Erie, PA, and the OleanArea Irish Dancers, fromOlean, NY, will perform,along with the music groupsStep In Time and Celtic Creek.Both groups are area husbandand wife teams. Step In Timebrand their music as “CelticEclectic” while Celtic Creekworks to keep the traditionalCeltic styles alive.
The festival also includesScottish heavy athletics, such
as the caber toss (tossinga long, tapered pine log),hammer and stone throw.Although the pipe bands won’tbe competing at the festival,the heavy athletes will be.“They’re not just amateurs,”Clark said, “these athletesare competing for prizes.”Jamestown is home of The96th Highlanders Pipes andDrums, and they representChautauqua county, but theband includes members fromsurrounding areas. They havecompeted and performed athighland games and festivalsin New York, Pennsylvania,and Canada. The bandhas used many of theirperformances to raise moneyfor the families of firefighters,police, and members of themilitary as well as victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Garden Gone WildIt’s Lily Time in Lindaland: Stalking, Deadheading, Pruning and Raking is Garden Consultant Linda Yates’ Passion
BY LINDA YATES
Hey! It’s Showtime in Lilyland! The summer show hasfinally arrived despite theunseasonal and exceptionallyrainy weather. The gardens areaglow with colour even thoughit’s overcast. Quick, run out, abit of sun! We don’t want to
miss a thing right now. It’san incredible palette of everyconceivable colour and textureso amazing that I cannot takemy eyes off of the scenery.It’s Lily time in Lindaland Icall it. It is my happy placeno matter what the work load.Staking, deadheading, pruningor raking, it is my joy andpassion here.
The chores give time to enjoythe flowers, to hang out withthe fragrances, to take timeout from the human race andmingle with Mother Naturefor a while. The rewards aregreater than I ever expected.
It is a gardener’s dreamlandof discovery and delight. It ISa big show with a new trickaround every corner. Forgottenflower friends return eachyear to greet me, new friendssurprise me; all rise to theoccasion of Show time! ‘TheQueen has arrived’, the Queenof the gardens that is.
The show offs and theunmistakable beauties are here.I tag this title to the Orientalfragrant tall lilies, especiallythe pure white Casa Blanca.They have their schedule andshow up for their yearly debut.“We’re here” they proclaimall fresh and smelling sweet.So I run out and take photosof them promptly before theyhave their freshness washedby the unending rain. Thereare so many different varietiesand colors and being a Liliumcollector there are a few here.
Let’s take a tour and see whatwe encounter. First, a huge
white Oriental with outwardfacing petals with tiny maroonspeckles. Next we see a yellowstar, a Citronella Strain,speckled with black spots, 5feet in height. Moving alongthere is a famous tiger lilyfrom the far east long knownas L.tigrinum, a Turk’s-capflower who is orange with dark
purple spotting and 7 feet tall.The lilies are accompaniedby many other bloomingperennials, especially lots of day lilies, phlox and monarda.There is a lovely tall standof Black Beauties who beardistinctive blooms of deepmaroon-red with a narrowwhite edge, green star centerand long protruding anthers,it’s petals tightly reflexed. Itis nearly shrub-like and long-lived and multiplies readilyby offsets. It’s a winner! Hereare a half dozen-brandy newpink 5-foot tall oriental’sthat just opened today and
are looking so fresh. Theyhave a backdrop of clear pinkhollyhocks and purplish-pinkmonarda, so sweet! Throughthe arbor we have someStargazers mingling with tallpink anemones robustissimusand every shade of phlox andpurple-pink coneflowers.
Moving away from the house
and the sun gardens we callthem, we have in the DawnRedwood bed the oversizedO.T. (Oriental-Trumpethybrids) topping out at ninefeet tall with a dozen bloomsof the palest yellow waxyflower and so highly fragrantas to perfume the entire yard.It’s undoubtedly the perfectcompliment. At the MoonGarden the stately all whiteCasa Blancas and Liliumauratum reside alongside lotsof shasta daisies, white phlox,false dragonhead, lobelia andcleomes. Earlier there are tallwhite Trumpet lilies and later
there will be the ultimate andlast to bloom Speciosum lilies.Speciosum translated means“good looking,” “showy,”“splendid” and “brilliant,”all aptly describing whatmany consider to be the mostbeautiful of all Oriental lilyspecies. They actually are thelast to bloom in late August
and early September. Sucha treat. I call them whitebutterflies.
Elsewhere in the gardens isevery colour in the spectrum.All blending beautifully,all happy together. Behindthe formal garden the royalpurple Gypsy Queen clematisand the Lavender-blueGeneral Sikorski clematis arereblooming. Well gardeningfriends, another huge rainstormhas blown in and toppled lotsof nice specimen plants whichis very disheartening becausewe have waited an entire yearfor these plants to bloom.
Some staking is in order andit is still very wet and todayunusually murky and muggy.A not fun situation for gardenchores.
We seem to be between arock and a hard place withour green thumb endeavorslately. It’s too wet, rainy,sultry whatever. Oh well, like
housework it can wait tilllater. Let’s have lemonade and
just look at the gardens for achange; enjoy the colours andshapes and textures.Enjoy the moment because thatis all that is guaranteed. Andknow that Showtime will alsofleet. Let’s take it all in everychance we get; take pictures,make notes and sketches and
journals. It’ll be a marvelousread in the OFF-season. LindaYates is a garden consultant who also gives tours or herown spectacular property. Shecan be contacted at 716-483-2668.

The Falcon’s Club is a newdevelopment by a father andson team which is just in thefinishing stages of the firstset of condos that have beenrevamped.
The Falcon’s Club,formerly the Falcon’s Nest,
sits down a long swoopingdrive to unobstructed viewsof Chautauqua Lake. Therefurbished and updatedcondos are some of the largeston the lake. On the expansivegrounds, the new tennis courtis already in place; soon therest of the grounds will belandscaped to “golf course-like” presence, according toDonna Breen of Century 21Turner Brokers. Additionally,a basketball court for the useof the condo owners has alsobeen recently completed.The owners are in the golf course business and use thisbackground and knowledge in
revamping the new landscapedesign. This gorgeous pieceof property sits on six hundred
feet of lakefront, with dock inplace.
The project will ultimatelyhouse 16 condos and a fewsmall cottages. There’s lots of space to play, both inside andout. Children will find the siteparticularly appealing whatwith lots of room for a footballgame right on the lake. The
townhomes are on theSouthside of the lake and takeadvantage of the spectacularsunsets that Chautauqua Lakehas to offer. “When finished,it’s going to be a fantasticplace” said Breen. “the condosare large and the amenitiesare amazing” she said. Theyafford the owners privacy andease of maintenance. Whilehomes require maintenanceand constant upkeep, owninga condo gives the ownerthe freedom to come and gowithout having to worry aboutmowing the lawn or trimmingthe hedges. The condominiumsare being fully refurbished and
include hickory floors, granitecounter tops in the kitchen andbathrooms, high ceilings and
an abundance of space for thegrowing family. Each unit isbetween 2,700 and 3,500 feet,giving the homeowners amplespace to lounge. The condos of the Falcon’s Club Townhomesare really large by otherstandards on the lake. Onedoesn’t feel claustrophobic asyou do in many of the lake’s
townhomes. Also, the viewsare amazing, looking over thelawn and onto the lake beyond.
Each unit has a two-cargarage, three bedrooms andtwo full baths. They also haveupstairs and downstairs washerand dryer facilities, whichmakes things very convenientfor the homeowner. All thehomes are three stories, withthe first floor including arec/media room and garage.One can picture curlingup with some popcorn andhaving the surround soundfilling the room, watching agood movie on a projectionscreen. Upstairs contains an
open floor plan in the ‘greatroom’ style, which is idealfor entertaining with the
