Area Favorite, the Sauce Boss (above, left) prepares gumbo on stage for the audience while “mixing his own spicy original music, Florida Slide Guitar Blues.” Susan McKay, activities coordinator, notes, “We put together eight gallons of rice and twelve pounds of shrimp,” with the Farmer’sMarket donating the vegetables and the Food Pantry providing the rice. “It’s a real community event to put this together.” The Sauce Boss shouldbe able to serve about three to four hundred people. McKay continues, “We have fi fteen blues bands” who are expected to take part in the festi-val this year. “It’s a street party.”

Dan Barrett (above), part of the Alden-Barrett Quintet will perform during the Jazz at Chautauqua Event along with over 30 other renowned jazz musicians. These performances will showcase the golden days of jazz; featuring the composers of the 20’s, 30’s & 40’s.

Taking a step back into musical history, over 30 musicians from across the country will celebrate the golden days of jazz at the 13th Annual Jazz at Chautauqua. The festival, September 16-19, takes place at the “Grande Dame” Athenaeum Hotel and is presented by the Allegheny Jazz Society. “There is a real following for this type of music. It’s a dedicated following that is looking for artists that can still play that era of music,” said Bruce Stanton, the general manager of the Athenaeum Hotel. Those dedicated followers attending the festival will be presented with around 27 hours of jazz from the composers of the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. “The popular American song was kind of what that era of jazz was considered,” said Stanton, “After that time I guess you would say that a fair amount changed and that different styles of jazz occurred.” Among this year’s artists is jazz trumpeter Joe Wilder. In 2008, Wilder was awarded the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award and has played with Benny Goodman and Billie Holiday, among others. Scott Robinson, the “Jazz

Ambassador” appointed by the U.S. State Department for 2001 will make his 9th appearance at this year’s festival. Although most well-known as a saxophonist, Robinson plays a variety of instruments, including

obscure ones like the ophicleide. Guitarist Marty Grosz is also performing at this year’s event. Besides being a well-known jazz

We’re Looking for Heroes...www.wnykidneyconnection.org

Last weekend several friends and I decided to bundle up a touch and do a little stargazing over Chautauqua Lake. At dusk we built a small fi re, pulled out the folding lawn chairs and opened a nice bottle of white, grown right here in our own region. Words can’t describe how gorgeous it all was – the night sky simply sparkled. It was a wonderful way to unwind after a very busy week. There’s not too many of these weekends left. Summer is fi nally closing out and yielding to more autumn-like weather. Our little community here has taken on a life of its own. Waking up from its long, silent winter sleep, spring time is much like a yawn and a stretch. Activity starts

in earnest with the months of May and June rolling by. Summer is – SUPER! The streets and sidewalks are politely congested. Residents and visitors alike enjoy all this area has to offer. It’s like the farmers say – you have to make hay while the sun shines, and the sun shines beautifully for about two-and-a-half months. And now, autumn has slowly snuck in. From my perspective, the village deserves a bit of a break, doesn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I’m going to relish the on-set of autumn. It’s my favorite time of the year – a season for all of us to get ready for what comes next… I’ve said it before – there is no better place to be than right here and right now! Enjoy! JZ

DUNKIRK - 1200-1500 people came to Dunkirk NY see The Town Pants a band from Vancouver British Columbia Friday August 20th at the Dunkirk Light House. The festival was put together by a collaborative effort between the Adam’s Art Gallery, The Dunkirk Light House and the Dunkirk Historical Society. The Adam’s Art Gallery board members are long time volunteers at the Great Blue Heron Music festival a sponsor of the show, through this association they were able to get this fantastic band to come to the Dunkirk area. The Adam’s Art Gallery ran the Beer Tent, the Stage and Show, The Historical Society cooked and served hotdogs, sausage, pizza and pop and the Dunkirk Light House provided

the grounds, security and sold food and beverage tickets for this collaborative event. “A woman fl ew from Miami Florida just for the show”, stated Ben Brauchler of the Adam’s Art Gallery. A tour bus load of people also came from the Buffalo area. People came from Jamestown, Sherman, and Elmira NY to see the band. Collaborations are a mechanism for non-profi ts to combine ideas and manpower and money in hard times, money is scarce so creative thinking is the key to survival in a hard economy. “By working together we are able to continue offering workshops such as ‘Make it or Mend It’ a workshop at the Adam’s Art Gallery to teach people to make the most of what they have”, said Marie Brauchler.

The Adam’s Art Gallery will continue to host concerts every 3rd Saturday in the Urbscheit room of the Adam’s Art Gallery.

Shults Auto Group takes their business to a new level. A new commercial is up and running on Time Warner Cable, but you may notice something new. For the fi rst time, “Shultsy”, their animated mascot, will be broadcast to TV’s throughout Southern Tier New York and Northern Pennsylvania However, the cute little car will not just sit there, he’ll talk, wink, beep and make viewers everywhere put a smile on their face. “I wanted our graphics people to create a happy, sparkling clean car with a big smile who would become the focal point,” Dave Burns, Director of Marketing said. Originally, Shultsy was created to showcase Shults Auto Spas by adding a little zing to the campaign. And soon enough the shiny car needed a name. “Most everyone loved the happy little red car,” Burns said. “So I decided to name him Shultsy in view of he becoming the future mascot of the Shults Auto Group.” A company out of Buffalo did the initial animation to Shultsy, but for the commercial Time Warner did more tweaking to make it ready to air! The new commercial on Time Warner is on many different networks such as, CNN, ESPN, TBSC, TNT and the Weather Channel. The impact of the commercial is already being felt at franchises across the region. “The initial consumer reaction to the commercial has been excellent and we expect

to break all previous tire sales records,” Burns said. Burns believes that Shultsy will not only be in this commercial, but will stick around for viewers of all ages

to enjoy. “Viewers can expect to hear more from him in the future,” Burns wrote. To shop Shults, log onto www.shultsauto.com or visit any one of their 10 locations.

Jazz at Chautauqua


Light the Lakes Blast Offto end the summer. It has grown into a huge weekend of festivals in the area – from music to crafts – a tribute to our great area. This draws all of Chautauqua County, from Lake Erie to Bemus. What a better way to kick off our fall festival season?” The Light the Lakes Extravaganza is sponsored by Bemus Bay Pops; Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce; Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau; County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency; Chautauqua County Planning & Development Funding; Findley Lake Chamber of Commerce; Media One Group (WJTN/SE93/WKSN/WHUG/WQFX/WREO); WGRZ-TV and WICU-TV. For more information regarding this event, please go to www.ilovenylakes.com, www.bemusbaypops.com, and www.italianfi sherman.com.

rhythm guitarist and chord soloist, Grosz is also one of the few mainstream jazz guitarists who shuns the use of an amplifi er. The program is put together by the Allegheny Jazz Society. The main performances, which will take place Friday through Sunday, are accompanied by brunch and dinner buffets. There are open bars throughout the evenings. The venue of the hotel’s main dining room adds to the festival’s atmosphere. “Having the festival inside a building of this vintage lends to the whole experience,” said Stanton, “The dinning room is reminiscent still of that era.” The festival begins Thursday evening with an informal gathering of attendees and musicians accompanied by music in the parlor. There will be solo performances

throughout the day on Friday, along with the opportunity to tour local wineries and area antique shops. Solo piano and guitar performances in the lobby lead up to the main evening program.

The event also features an exhibit by the jazz photographer Duncan Schiedt. Schiedt shoots photos of jazz musicians and performances in black and white. He has also written four books about jazz.

loves the little towns,” says activities coordinator Susan McKay. “He came through” when it wasn’t clear whether the Festival could afford to bring in someone with his popular appeal. According to his web site, the Sauce Boss prepares gumbo on stage for the audience while “mixing his own spicy original music, Florida Slide Guitar Blues.” McKay notes, “We put together eight gallons or rice and twelve pounds of shrimp,” with the Farmer’s Market donating the vegetables and the Food Pantry providing the rice. “It’s a real community event to put this together.” The Sauce Boss should be able to serve about three to four hundred people. Proceeds from Wharton’s sales go to Planet Gumbo, whose mission is to house the homeless and feed the hungry.

McKay describes this

year’s Festival as a 9/11 remembrance. Highlights will include a fi rst responder ceremony “honoring our police and fi refi ghters.” There will be an Am-Vets 9/11 Remembrance Run with proceeds going to the Dunkirk Lighthouse and Veterans Fund Museum. “A couple of hundred motorcyclists” are expected to roar into town and make the event a memorable experience. Festivals Fredonia, which contracts with the Town and Village of Fredonia, puts on four festivals a year. McKay says, “This is our biggest. We really keep our costs low by getting so many donations and volunteers. Whatever (money) we do make, we try to give it back to a different organization each year.” She notes, “This year Certo Brothers and Labatt have really helped by coming

in as sponsors for the children’s events and the national act (The Sauce Boss).” McKay continues, “We have fi fteen blues bands” who are expected to take part. “It’s a street party. You can just park, walk and hear the bands. We stagger them so hopefully you get to see something of each one of them. And we’ll have all kinds of barbecue.” Round out your visit with wine tasting by local vintners like Liberty, Sparkling Ponds, Willow Creek, and Woodbury Winery. Dunkirk Home Brew will put on a home brewing demonstration. Children can enjoy the “Barrel of Monkeys” bouncer, cookie decorating, and chalk art. McKay calls the Festival “the best street party around. It’s always a reunion, with daytime fun for the family with ‘nightlife’ for grownups.”

The program is put together by the Allegheny Jazz Society. The main performances, which will take place Friday through Sunday, are accompanied by brunch and dinner buffets. There are open bars throughout the evenings. For more information call the Athenaeum Hotel (716) 357-4444 .

America’s Wine Festival

Downtown Jamestown Event this Friday, August 27

Farmer’s Market Youth Day

Mark your calendar to enjoy the 2nd Annual Chautauqua Bon Vivant, an event that promises to showcase both regional and local wineries, feature premium spirits and top mixologists, and highlight superior quality cuisine - during a weekend of lavish tastings, demonstrations, and special events.

the Chautauqua County Fairgrounds in Dunkirk and featured over 20 wineries from across New York State. The wineries, crafters, food and agricultural vendors came to Chautauqua to participate in the annual event which also had a farmer’s market designation by the New York Department of Ag and Markets. “This is such a tremendous event for us to participate in every year,” said John Yerico, marketing person for Yerico Farms. “This isn’t just an opportunity to sell our product. This is advertising at its fi nest because the festival attendees can actually taste our products and learn about them,” he said. Yerico Farms is one of the agricultural vendors that give the wine festival a comfortable hometown feel and have participated all three years. Just like the agricultural vendors, the wineries gave samples of their wines and sold their products by the bottle to festival attendees. Several New York State wine trails were represented at the festival with wineries coming from distant places such as the Hudson Valley and the Thousand Islands. The wine festival creates tremendous exposure

for wineries that are not yet for sale in Western New York, so their exposure at the AGC Wine Festival is always welcome. “We achieved over two thousand people in attendance for the second year in a row,” said Edwin Rodriguez, marketing and promotions person for the AGC Wine Festival. “The event has done exactly what we had hoped it would do by growing every year. We have worked a lot of the kinks out of the festival planning and a lot of the vendors noticed. We received compliments all weekend. Next year is going to be huge for us,” he said. Festival planners teased vendors and attendees throughout the weekend, noting that next year’s festival will feature a national performing music artist in the grandstand of the fairgrounds. No mention was made of which artist that would be, but a rock-country artist is to be expected with an opening performance from Dunkirk native, Sean Patrick McGraw. “This year’s Wine Festival was another success thanks to the hard work of many people,” said William Daly, Director of the CCIDA. “The big turnout

of both county residents and tourists enjoying the event is why we are involved each year. We are already looking forward to 2011,” he said. The CCIDA has been a major sponsor of the AGC Wine Festival since it was created. The organization supports small and large businesses in the county with their expansion efforts. The AGC Wine Festival is a great way to promote the growth of dozens of businesses at the same time. The third annual AGC Wine Festival would not have been possible without the participation and generous support from its sponsors which include Merritt Estate Winery, Great Lakes Life Magazine, Star Media Group, Otherwisz.com, Regent Broadcasting, The Villager, Dunkin’ Donuts, County of Chautauqua, CCIDA, Seneca Gaming Corporation, Yancey’s Fancy, Media One Group, and the Putnam-Record Insurance Agencies. Tickets for the 2011 AGC Wine Festival will be on sale as early as next week. For more information on the America’s Grape Country Wine Festival, call 800-965-4834 or visit www.agcwinefestival.com.

Audubon Butterfl y Festivalmigration. She is among the group of volunteers that is raising caterpillars at their homes for the festival and is responsible for adding numerous plants for both caterpillars and butterfl ies to Audubon’s Butterfly Garden. Raising monarchs requires growing milkweeds, since that is the only thing they are able to eat. Audubon has at least three varieties of milkweed growing on the sanctuary grounds, and day camp children have found monarch eggs that are being raised for the butterfl y house.

Monarch Butterfl y Festival admission is $5 for Audubon members, $7 for non-members, and $3 for children. Bring your camera! The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road , off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren . Normal hours are 10 am-4:30 pm daily, Sundays 1-4:30 pm , and the trails and Bald Eagle viewing are open dawn to dusk. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.jamestownaudubon.org.
