  • The Child Advocacy Program (CAP) in Chautauqua County is truly a ‘shining’ example of what a community can accomplish when coming together.

    In 2007 former District Attorney David Foley, applied for a grant that would provide significant funding for a cause within the county: supporting a dedicated team in advocating against and responding to child abuse and neglect. Today, the impact this team, and the resulting organization CAP, has been immeasurable.

    Community Building

    Under the 2007 funding, Project Director Jana McDermott was hired, the only staff member of what soon became the Child Advocacy Program. Today, CAP has 14 staff members as part of their ‘Multi-Disciplinary Team. As CAP states, ‘…the group has grown from sharing an office with the district

    attorney’s office to having a space of their own on West 3rd street. The team is the heart of our CAP’s response to allegations of child abuse. Each person is crucial to maximize the ability to provide thorough and effective services to children and their families.”

    CAP, with offices in both Jamestown and Fredonia, works to provide services

    to children and families county wide. Staff, volunteers, law enforcement agencies, youth advocates, and community partners work to create a safe environment for children who have experienced significant trauma, be that physical abuse, sexual abuse,

  • 2 March 16, 2020JAMESTOWN GAZETTEwww.JamestownGazette.com

    - I’d like to take a moment to address some of the recent developments surrounding the Novel Coronavirus pandemic. The health and well-being of Chautauqua County residents is our utmost priority. While there is need for concern and preparedness; there is no need for panic.

    There are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Chautauqua County. We have two (2) persons in Precautionary Quarantine. One of them met criteria to be tested for COVID-19 and we are awaiting those results.

    From what we know, COVID-19 appears to be especially targeting those age 65 or older; those with underlying health conditions such as heart, lung, kidney, neurologic, or liver disease or diabetes; those with c o m p r o m i s e d immune systems; and pregnant women. Anyone in these high risk categories should be extra vigilant about respiratory and hand hygiene and avoid gatherings of 10 people or more.

    Please stay home if you are ill and avoid others. If you have a fever and worsening symptoms of respiratory illness such cough and difficulty breathing, call your healthcare provider for advisement. Your healthcare provider should do an initial screening over the phone and determine if you need to be evaluated. At the time of evaluation, you will be provided with a mask before you enter the office and your healthcare provider should test for common respiratory illnesses, such as influenza. If your healthcare provider feels that you require further testing for COVID-19, he/she will consult with staff here at the Local Health Department to make that determination. There are

    no special COVID-19 testing kits. Specimen collection consists of swabbing your nose and mouth and inserting those swabs in a special media for transport to a laboratory. As of today, those specimens are then taken to the Erie County Public Health Lab in Buffalo by our Local Health Department staff.

    Chautauqua County’s response to this pandemic involves phasing in a series of actions to help slow the spread of respiratory viruses such as COVID-19 so that our health care system is not overburdened. These actions first include personal protective measures for everyday use (staying home when ill, covering coughs and sneezes, and washing hands often) and frequent and thorough environmental cleaning. From there, we move to community mitigation strategies. Here we have started with social distancing measures which can reduce the spread of a virus by

    decreasing the frequency and duration of social contact among persons of all ages. These measures are common-sense approaches to limiting face-to-face contact which reduces person-to-person

    transmission of disease. This is why public gatherings with 500 or more participants are not permitted at this time, occupancy of certain other venues is now reduced by 50% (New York has issued more specific guidance), and nursing homes are not allowing visitors. Schools in Chautauqua County have received recommendations to forego field trips, school events where more than 50 members of the public will attend, and school wide assemblies.

    Because this situation is changing continuously, public health strategies will also change. As we evolve into the community spread phase of pandemic, mitigation strategies will also increase. We are all in this together – thank you!

    20•20•2020 CELEBRATIONCOMMUNITY

    What is the guidance on personal hygiene?

    • Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.o Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds (sing the “happy birthday” song to yourself twiceslowly).o If soap and water are not available, use hand-sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.• Avoid close contact with sick people.• Stay home when you are sick.• Cover your cough. Cough into your elbow or a tissue. Throw tissues in the trash. Wash your hands.• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as phones, computers, door knobs, elevatorbuttons, light switches, toys, and serving utensils.

    What should I do if I feel sick?

    • STAY HOME, except to get necessary medical care. If you have a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness,such as cough or difficulty breathing, and especially if you are 65 years or age or older, are pregnant or have chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, a compromised immune system, chronic lung disease and/or cancer, call your healthcare provider.

    Should I go to work?

    • If you are experiencing cold or flu-like symptoms, STAY HOME. Call your employer and let them know. Follow advice above.• Do not go back to work until you have been fever-free for 72 hours without the use of fever-reducing

    drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen.Should I consider telecommuting?

    • If you are sick, STAY HOME.• Employers and workers should consider telecommuting where appropriate.

    Should I send kids to school?

    • If your child is experiencing any cold or flu-like symptoms, keep them HOME, except to get necessary medical care. Follow advice above.• Do not send them to school until they have been fever-free for at least 72 hours without the use of feverreducing drugs like Tylenol or ibuprofen.

    Can I go to public gatherings? Church? Sporting events? Museums?

    • If you are sick, STAY HOME.• If you are 65 years of age or older, are pregnant, or have chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, ac o m p r o m i s e d immune system,

    chronic lung disease and/or cancer, we are advising you to limit your exposure tolarge gatherings and crowds (greater than 10 people).• If you have no symptoms, it’s okay to go to events but we’re asking everyone to continue to practice good hygiene and remain vigilant about their health.

    Will Chautauqua County be cancelling large events?

    • Right now, we are not recommending that any large events or public gatherings are cancelled but we willcontinue to monitor developments and adjust as needed.

    EDITORIAL

    If you see something, say something.That simple phrase became the unofficial slogan of America after the Twin Towers came down in New York City. On the very next day, September 12, 2001, an advertising executive named Allen Kay came up with those words while trying to learn something useful from the tragedy. “See something” of course, means “see something wrong.”

    If you say something you become an advocate.

    But what if you say something and nothing happens? You yell! But what if you yell and nothing happens? That’s when advocates become activists. They do something.

    An advocate is a person who pleads for a cause or acts in aid of someone else in need. The advocate experiences empathy for another person’s pain or danger.

    I just wish it really worked that

    way, or at least more often than it does.

    There is another tragedy we see or hear of every day, and in some ways, it is worse than 9/11. The victims are equally helpless, nearly 3,000 are killed by it every year, and as many as 3 million are injured.

    The tragedy I am talking about is child abuse, neglect, and domestic violence. Amy Klobuchar recently said, “It doesn't take a bruise or a broken bone for a child to be a victim

    of domestic violence. Kids who witness domestic violence are victims, too.”

    I’m sure we’ve all seen it or its effects. So, have you and I said something? If we did, it wasn’t enough to stop it. So, did we yell? If we did, it wasn’t loud enough to stop it. That leaves action.

    This week your Jamestown Gazette brings you face to face

    with the heroic Child Advocacy Program (CAP) of Chautauqua County, the advocates who take action against child abuse and who advocate for the children.

    According to CAP, “Child Abuse is a very serious crime that needs to be reported right away, even if it’s just suspected. Only 1 in every 10 children that are abused will tell someone about it, and even fewer cases get reported.”

    CAP's mission and passion is to see something, say something, and yell about it. But CAP yells gently—in homes that need healing and in courts that find justice for the abused. Author and pastor, Ralph W. Sockman, once explained, “Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.”

    This week we invite our readers to be inspired to take action. Nobody in our community is more vulnerable than our children nor more important to rescue from abuse when and where it happens.If you see something, say something. It’s an action we can all take.

    Enjoy the read.

    Like it or not...

    Believe it or not...

    Agree with it or not...

    COVID-19 aka Coronavirus has reminded us that we are all in this together. When it comes to our health, safety, and livelihood, humanity is intricately and inexplicably tied together... to the point that there are no points of escape, denial, or refuge. In the past, the world could fall apart, and we could seek sanctuary in a church. All hell could break loose and we could turn our brains off at a movie theater. The yogurt could hit the fan and we could still distract ourselves with a sporting event. That is no longer the case.

    Now we can't.

    Rather, the interconnectedness of humanity is on full display. The reality that we are not just responsible for ourselves, but for each other is unavoidable. During this time of isolation, fear, uncertainty, and anxiety I hope that we as a people can find a way to once again come together (even if that means staying apart!).

    Now is not the time to build toilet paper towers in our basements. Nor is it an occasion to panic and run. Pointing fingers and blaming others won't help. Putting our heads in the sand will be disastrous and potentially catastrophic.

    In times like these we are tempted to think about ourselves – our safety, our supplies, our people, our protection. In the midst of that worry let us also consider the needs of our neighbors. Let us remember the poor and homeless who don't have medical care. Let us remember the doctors, nurses, and hospital employees who can't bunker down for a few weeks. Let us remember the immunocompromised and the already sick and suffering whose worries and fear are greater than others.

    Let us remember that we are all in this together. Moreover, may this reminder of our interconnectedness help us to live, compromise, support, and care for each other even when the pandemic ends.

    You're going to have a lot of "experts" tell you what to do over the next few weeks. At times, their advice will contradict each other. You won't know what you believe. Our insecurity will leave us desperate for certainty – tempted to listen to anyone or anything. At all times and in all places, leave a little room for some advice from the greatest teacher of all. When Jesus was asked what command or rule was the most important to follow, he said this:

    "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37-39

    No matter what happens, don't forget to love.

    WAY-ward,

    PSDH

    Love

    Spring can be a time for aligning with nature, surrendering negative thoughts, and shedding unhealthy habits to make space for seeds of growth,

    love, and new beginnings. Get started at Audubon Community Nature Center’s The Balance of Spring workshop on Saturday afternoon, March 21.

A perfect way to honor nature, to join together as a community, and to plant the seeds of our intentions for the coming of spring.

    New Flyer of America Inc. (“New Flyer”), a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. (“NFI”), one of the world’s leading independent global bus manufacturers, today announced that in partnership with the Transportation Diversity Council (“TDC”), it has launched its Community Benefits Framework (“CBF”). The CBF will complement local agreements that New Flyer establishes with transit agencies and community partners across America, and is the foundation that will govern, create, and implement robust programming at all New Flyer facilities.

    The CBF, prefaced in January 2020 during New Flyer’s announcement of an expanded partnership with TDC that began in 2017, is a mechanism for accountability and enforcement that magnifies existing approaches to support workforce development, while enhancing the hiring of underserved and underrepresented individuals.

    More specifically, the CBF includes New Flyer’s approach to support its workforce and community, establishment of the Employee Engagement Committee, effective management of a safe and respectful workplace, execution of leading environmental health and safety practices, commitments to disadvantaged business enterprise (“DBE”), and industry advocacy and support for workforce development and inclusion.

    “New Flyer remains committed to ongoing career development for people of all walks of life, including veterans, women, people of color, people with differing abilities, and underrepresented and underserved individuals in the field of advanced manufacturing,” said Chris Stoddart, President, New Flyer. “We delivered nearly 140,000 hours of training to our team in 2019 – but training alone is not enough. We recognized a more holistic approach was needed to support the well-being of our team

    and communities, and appreciate the greater compliance, accountability, and action that comes from our CBF. We are proud of this work, and our partnership with TDC.”

    With the launch of the CBF, New Flyer expands its existing workforce diversity and workforce development model, with the CBF directing and supporting local initiatives that benefit people and communities. While the CBF governs multiple partnerships and agreements across America, including in Minnesota, California, and New York, its initial focus intensively supports identifying, training, and onboarding new hires at New Flyer’s Anniston, Alabama facility.

    “TDC is a proud partner of New Flyer in expanding, strengthening, and diversifying its talent pipeline,” said Dwayne Sampson, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TDC. “As America’s biggest bus manufacturer, New Flyer has what it takes to advance and diligently work to ensure underserved and underrepresented individuals get the opportunity to find and keep their jobs and support their families.

    Several well-known medical professionals whose practices were located in or along the periphery of Brooklyn Square shared a common heritage and origin: Italy. Dr. Vincent Castile came to Buffalo from Italy in 1909. After attending and graduating from the University of Buffalo Dental School in 1918, he arrived in Jamestown and practiced dentistry until 1964 in an upstairs office of the Rogers Building at 13 N. Main Street in Brooklyn Square. As Rosella Agostine stated in her booklet “Something About the Italians in Jamestown,” Dr. Castile was known for his “kindness and generosity.” As a child, Ann Dahl Luce lived in the Rogers Building with her family. Her father, Fillmore Dahl, was the building’s custodian. Ann recalled in a chapter from her book Smackers and Tootsie Toasters that she would make the rounds of the businesses in the Rogers Building, mentioning that she would visit Dr. Castile’s office where she was allowed to sit on the low sill of his office that overlooked the Square and watch as he tended to his patients. 0nce in awhile Ann would be given a stick of Dentyne gum from Dr. Castile while his daughter Josephine informed Ann that among the unfamiliar languages she was hearing was Italian.

    When I was growing up in the 1940s and 1950s, two well-known Italian American physicians had offices on Allen Street within close proximity to Brooklyn Square: Dr. James F. Valone at 25 Allen Street and Dr. George F. Caccamise at 63 Allen

    Street

    Dr. James Valone’s mother came to America from Valledolmo (Valley of the Elm), Sicily, with her sons and settled in Fredonia among relatives, where she helped harvesting fruits and vegetables along with her older children. With the money they earned, they succeeded in putting James through Fredonia Normal and then the University of Buffalo where he graduated with a medical degree circa 1914. He was, according to Agostine, “the first doctor of the Italian community in Jamestown where he came to set up practice.” As a footnote to Dr. Valone’s home, which also housed his office, my father was employed by him and kept Dr. Valone’s front lawn immaculately mowed and hand-edged!

    Our family doctor for all

    of the years of my youth was Dr. George F. Caccamise whose office was at 63 Allen Street. His brother Joseph was also a medical doctor; his brother James was a dentist, and his

    brother Charles was a pharmacist. Dr. George Caccamise’s parents came from Valledolmo, Sicily, but he was born in Buffalo in 1896. His parents worked at a variety of jobs that demanded hard physical labor in the fields as well as working at French Cannery (later Welch’s) and the United Canning Company. Sometimes his father would bring home sacks of string beans that the whole family snapped for factory processing and canning, earning one cent a pound. Through long hours of hard work by his parents, siblings and himself, George attended and graduated from the University of Buffalo. Upon entering the medical profession and setting up a private practice, he took on the responsibility of putting his three brothers through college. (Dr. George Caccamise)

    In 1921, Dr. Caccamise set up an office on Allen Street, directly across Institute Street from St. James Church. ( 63 Allen Street) Many residents of the Lost Neighborhood

    filled his office. According to Agostine in a Post-Journal article in 1975: “No doctor has given so freely of his services to so many people in the area.” The Italian-American Club of Falconer paid two dollars a year per family which gave them medical services such as births, house calls, and operations. As a member of the Club, Dr. George gave these services for 20 years. During the years of the Great Depression, Dr. Caccamise often took care of his patients without payment.

    From 1933-1951, he served on the Jamestown General Hospital Board and the Chautauqua County Health Board in 1957 until 1974. Dr. George died in 1979 and is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. To many, he was a giving physician. As his son David recalled in a phone conversation with me in 2013, his father “truly practiced medicine solely for the good of his patients.” (Photos courtesy Jim Auria and Ardith Caccamise)

    Watching for the Wrong Bird

    Are you looking for signs of spring? Punxsutawney Phil’s forecast disappoints us repeatedly. Crocus flowers sticking their heads up are a delight to the eyes, but they get buried by snow every year, and sometimes lots of it. And those of us who look for robins to herald the coming of spring are looking for the wrong bird.

    So what is a better harbinger of spring? Turkey vultures, that’s what. Turkey vultures fly south, like many birds do, and if they’re not back yet it’s a pretty good sign spring hasn’t sprung.

    Yes, robins are the wrong bird to watch for. In fact, I once saw a robin on January 1, and that bird sure wasn’t a sign of spring. Many people don’t realize that a few robins actually spend winters here. When you see a robin in the dead of winter, it’s either one of the few homebodies that didn’t fly south, or it’s a migrant from farther north that stopped here on its southbound sojourn. While the ground is covered with snow they subsist on leftover berries and the few bugs and worms they are lucky enough to find.

    On the other hand, when you

    see a turkey vulture spring is guaranteed. The habits of turkey vultures mean they can’t stick around here like the occasional robin, and they can’t stop here for the winter like a few robins from north of the border. Vultures must vamoose before the freeze-up and they can’t come back until things thaw out.

    Why not? Because they can’t eat frozen food. Vultures eat carrion. They clean up roadkill, dead animals around farms, victims of predators, unrecovered game animals, and whatever other wildlife is dead for whatever reason.

    I’ve seen vultures circling woodchucks I’d just shot, and I’ve known them to totally dismember and entirely devour freshly killed kin of Punxsutawney Phil within a few hours, but they don’t demand fresh meat. They seem to prefer dead carcasses that have been rotting for weeks. They’re nature’s sanitary engineers. They’ll eat the stinkiest meat around.

    Vultures are uniquely suited for this clean-up job. Unlike bald eagles, vultures really are bald. If their heads were feathered, they’d soak up putrid rot when they reach inside the body cavities of the critters they’re having for dinner. As you might expect, turkey vultures are exposed to lots of bacteria, but their urine is strong enough to kill bacteria when they spray it on their feet. I can hear Mrs. Vulture saying to Mr. Vulture when he comes home from the job, “Don’t come in until you’ve sprayed your feet!”

    Vultures don’t get much love, but they do deserve our appreciation for the work they do. They just can’t do that job when their meals are still in the freezer.

    For the surest sign of spring, look to the sky for big birds with a wingspan up to six feet. You can tell them apart from eagles (which spend winter near open water) by the fact that they hold their wings in a shallow “V” when soaring high in circles looking for lunch. Soaring eagles hold their more muscular wings straight out. So, “V” is for vulture, not eagle.

    Vultures have excellent long-range vision and giant nostrils on their sniffers through which they collect molecules of scent from far off decaying flesh. As long a dead animal hasn’t yet frozen, or it has thawed, it’s on their menu.

    If you haven’t seen a turkey vulture yet, be patient. They’re working their way here. And when you see one, you’ll know winter has released its icy grip.

    neglect, or living through a traumatic experience.

    Utilizing the model of Forensic Interviewing, trained staff work with children asking non-leading questions, within CAP offices. This form of interviewing is important as it provides the space to record an interview with a child once, preventing the traumatization that can come with repeated interviews with various individuals and agencies. CAP provides all of its services for free.

    Beth Oakes, Executive Director, emphasizes the importance of offering these services at no cost. “We provide advocacy to families and children, as they go through the court system and the process, helping the families heal. Mental health counselors provide trauma counseling for free. The nice features of not charging are no paperwork and we can see them [families] sooner.”

    New and Valued Services

    CAP also provides medical exams for children to assure of their health and answer questions. The ‘Less is More’ program works with mandated reporters to share information on what an individual should and should not do when a child discloses abuse. Listening to the child and letting the system take them through one step at a time is best, creating a less traumatic environment.

    Another component of CAP’s advocacy work is the ‘Stewards of Children’ program, an educational workshop where adults who work with or are interested in advocating for youth learn to recognize child abuse, as well as protective factors to prevent abuse.

    CAP has most recently contracted with the County to oversee the ‘Safe Harbour Program’, an anti human-

    trafficking program funded through New York State. Human trafficking can come in many forms, however in all cases includes the exploitation of children by others, usually adults. As Oakes states, “It fits right in with what we do, a lot of the children we see, as they get older may be at risk…it [human trafficking] takes many different faces in our area.”

    In addition, CAP recently hired a bilingual advocate, expanding their capacity to service area Spanish speaking families.

    Precious as a Diamond

    Celebrating their ten year anniversary, CAP is gearing up to present the 10th Annual ‘Diamond Dinner.’ In 2019 over 350 individuals attended. The success of the event lies in the collaborative nature of the work CAP does, Oakes states. “It is a unique fundraiser, and you do look at ‘when has a fundraiser run its course, what do you do to interest people in coming’. But each year we have a lot of law enforcement officers, CPS, community partners involved with CAP, as well as great partners in the community that care about people, that might not be directly involved in the work or CAP. Everyone wants children to have healthier lives.”

    As in the past, the Diamond Dinner will feature the auction of a beautiful diamond ring. Each attendee is automatically entered to win, with additional chances available for purchase. The event will also include a live auction, with interactive experiences up for bid including a boat ride and a hot air balloon excursion. A silent auction will also be available with a variety of baskets donated by local businesses.

    The Diamond Dinner is not only an exciting night out, funds raised go towards funding CAP’s programs. In 2019 CAP served over 500 children throughout Chautauqua County,

    with 199 forensic interviews being conducted, and 2641 adults trained in Stewards of Children. Oakes reports that they have seen real demand for their services, indicating that increased outreach has been touching many lives.

    CAP is excited to celebrate at this year’s event, recognizing ten years of community organizing and impact.

    The annual Diamond Dinner will be held April 4 at Chautauqua Suites in Mayville. Tickets can be purchased at www.capjustice.org; reservations are to be made by March 23. Individuals can purchase tickets at $75 apiece, or groups can purchase a table for 8 guests. Cocktail hour starts at 5 pm, with dinner beginning at 7 pm.

    Sponsors of the event include Chautauqua Suites and Expo Center; Lake Shore Paving Inc.; Media One Group; Afloral; Contract Interior Solutions; Cummins JEP; FSC Systems; Jamestown Pediatric Associations; Jamestown Roofing; Moonlight Electric of Jamestown; National Fuel; SKF Aeroengine; Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union; PEL Industrial Supply Inc.; Kranky Plate Productions; Bemus Point United Methodist Church; Gugino & Ryel Financial; HOPE’s Window Inc; Integrated Benefit Solutions Inc; Jamestown

    impact can be made in bettering

    emphasizes the value of CAP and

    the work done. “I think it is very

    important for communities to come

    abuse and neglect and whether that is

    coming to a dinner, or volunteering

    organizations that do those things,

    Congress designated March as Women’s History month in 1987. What does that mean? It means we remember, celebrate and learn from the women who fought for the rights we take for granted. Rights like owning property, having our own credit cards, custody of our children, access to legal contraception, safe legal abortion and the big one, the right to vote.

    Prior to the Civil War women were leading the temperance movement. They saw what alcohol was doing to their husbands and fathers. It destroyed families. Women fought to limit its influence. They learned how to work together and take a stand. They learned how to influence lawmakers, rally public support and ultimately make a difference to make the change(s) they needed for a better life for themselves and their families. They applied all that experience to the suffrage movement, the right to vote. According to the “Making Women’s History in Southwestern New York State” website (www.sunyjcc.edu/womenshistory/): “In the early 1890s, Chautauqua County was home to the largest county organization in the nation dedicated to women’s suffrage. This distinction is but one highlight of the area’s rich women’s history. From the 1873 women’s temperance crusade in Fredonia to the annual women’s days held at Chautauqua and Lily Dale, events here inspired women near and far to claim a greater role in public life. These achievements remind us that history is made from the bottom up — by

    individuals at the local level."

    Fast forward to the 1960s and 1970s women were fighting for equal rights with men, contraceptive

    rights and the very controversial Roe v. Wade decision on abortion rights. The leaders of the movements were standing on the shoulders of the strong hardworking women of the 19th century as they used many of their strategies and tactics. Most recently we have seen the power of social media in bringing the Marches on Washington by both men and women, and the #metoo movement.

    A few of the women from Chautauqua County and Jamestown that made changes in our lives today are:

    Calista Jones (1823-1900) was a school teacher that fought for equal

    pay, $1/day, when she was asked to fill in for a male colleague. She won. She taught in the Jamestown schools for 50 years. She of course fought for the right to vote.

    Kate Stoneman (1841-1925) also

    a teacher, was a suffrage leader, and most remembered for being the first woman in New York State admitted to New York State Bar and first woman to graduate from Albany Law School. She continued to teach school and maintained a law office in

    Albany for forty years.

    Edith Ainge (1873-1948) A native of England, Edith came to Jamestown as a child. She took her fight for the

    vote to Washington, D.C. in 1917 and was promptly arrested with many other protesters. She was arrested 5 times over the course of the next couple of years. She reported the brutal treatment the women received, including losing over 20 pounds while in jail. All for asking for the right to vote.

    Ellen Y. Miller (1882-1940) First woman in the state of New York to be elected to the position of County Clerk. She held office from 1919 until her death in 1940. At that time, she was serving

    her eighth term and had held public office longer than any other woman in the state’s history. She was opposed in only one primary. She also helped form a statewide County Clerks Association as well as being

    active throughout the County in various organizations.

    Lucille Ball Morton (1911-1989) Lucille overcame many odds to do what she loved; performing. Her diligence paid off. She is known worldwide as an American actress and pioneer in comedy. As an entertainer and businesswoman, Ball continuously broke barriers for women in entertainment business. And as the pioneers before her, she mentored younger women on how to succeed.

    These brave women saw an injustice. They made it their life’s work to change the traditional system that created the injustice. We are grateful everyday for their dedication to making our lives better.

    “I have enjoyed working at our com-munity hospital,” Gambino said. “What I will miss the most is the people.”

    Joining WMH Associates at her farewell celebration was Gambi-no’s husband, Jack of 50 years and her five-year-old grandson, Luca Gambino.

    The grandmother of seven plans to spend more time with her family and will baby-sit her three mon-th-old granddaughter, Anna, when Anna’s mom, Jacquie returns to her business, ‘The Wooden Soup’ located on Elm Street in Westfield, NY.

    Maple syrup is can be used as a sugar substitute for those who strive to use less refined sugar. For substitution, typically one cup of white sugar can be replaced with 2/3 to ¾ cup of maple syrup. To substitute for honey, the ration is the same. So one tablespoon equals one tablespoon. Maple syrup caramelizes at a lower temperature than sugar does, so you may have to adjust the temperature.

    Health Benefits ofMaple Sugar

    Article Courtesy ofEnchanted Mountains

    enchantedmountains.com

    Maple syrup has many properties that are good for the body including antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It has fewer calories, and is general-ly much more sweet. Drizzling maple syrup on your oatmeal may help prevent inflammatory diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s, a University of Rhode Island study found. It is great for youthful skin, re-pairing environmental and free radical damage. Tummy troubles? Maple Syrup is less likely to cause indigestion, gas, and bloating, compared with processed sweeteners. Syrup contains essential nutrients like zinc and manganese, which can help you ward off illness, so be sure to pour it on your breakfast if you're feeling sick!

    Jamestown Community Baseball with Randy Anderson

    The 2-year run of the Jamestown Falcons as PONY League regular season champions ended in 1948 as they were edged out by Lockport. But the “Falks” did have the league’s batting champ, Pat Haggerty, with a .369 average. National Football League fans will recognize the name Pat Haggerty. He was a top referee in the NFL for 28 years including officiating 3 Super Bowls.

    The ace of the Jamestown pitching staff was Jerry Kleinsmith. Posting a 16-7 record with a 2.62 ERA, Kleinsmith had a rare oddity in ’48. He led the PONY League in both strikeouts (258) and bases-on-balls (163). He broke the loop mark with 19 strikeouts in a game, then reset it a few weeks later when he whiffed 20.

    After the season, owner John Jachym dropped a bombshell on

    the local fans when he sold the team to the Detroit Tigers for $50,000, earning a $28,000 profit for his three years of ownership. A year later, 1949, Jachym headed a syndicate of businessmen that purchased a 40% minority interest in the major league Washington Senators for $500,000.

    Clark Griffith, the 81-year-old majority owner of the Senators, resented the purchase and never welcomed the 31-year-old Jachym as a partner. After just six months, Jachym sold his shares and moved out of baseball entirely. He later became a multimillionaire in a variety of business ventures and was an influential businessman and confidante to presidents and celebrities until his death in 2005.
