Lovers of fi ne wine and art will have two opportunities to enjoy the pair along the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail this March. On March 4, the South Shore

Wine Company is hosting a Wineries and Artist Reception (closed to the public) to commemorate a new Wine and Art Event that will take place March 20 and 21. The Wineries and Artist Reception will feature several artists from The

Resource Center; a Chautauqua County based not-for-profi t organization that helps people with disabilities and other social and economic disadvantages by providing homes, jobs and education. Steve Waterson, director of

community relations at The ResourceCenter, said the individuals takingpart in this evening are all part ofa three-year-old art program at thecenter for individuals with cognitive

The city of Jamestown is getting ready to get in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day with their annual parade and celebration, set for Saturday, March 13th. Plans call for the parade to line up at 11 a.m. and to start at noon. Organizers decided to move up the start time by one hour this year, according to Lee Harkness, Executive Director of the Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation. Parade participants often wait until the last minute to register, because “you can never tell what the weather’s going to be like.” So Harkness is not sure how many units will be taking part. He notes that “its been colder (around St. Patrick’s Day) than it would be for the (Christmas) Holiday parade.” The route takes the parade east on Fourth Street to Main Street, then south on Main Street to Brooklyn Square. That’s where Jamestown’s leprechaun turns the Chadakoin River green. How is this done? Harkness assures us that it’s all

perfectly safe for the environment. The bright green hue is produced by dye used to test sewer systems. But that’s not all. “We have train rides, horse rides, Irish stew and hot dogs, cookies and coffee. (It’s) all right in Brooklyn Square.” This year, the Jamestown High School Marching Band will play in the square, while the Jamestown Area Medical Associates will put on a shamrock hunt. “They will be giving away three bicycles.” Irish Dancers from Buffalo will perform around 2:30. Earlier in the day, visitors can have breakfast with the leprechaun at Lisciandro’s Restaurant at 8 a.m. A new feature this year is called the “March of the Leprechaun”, which is a pub-crawl downtown. Five bars are participating and “we’re getting a good response,” according to Harkness. Your $20 fee includes a commemorative tee shirt, a Guinness Mug, and a bus ride that will take people to the fi ve downtown bars. The bus leaves from the Clarion Hotel at 5:30 and returns there at midnight. “We have hotel accommodations for anyone who

wants them,” so as to discourage drinking and driving. The charge forthe hotel is $59 per night for double occupancy, which includes morning breakfast. The whole idea is to make the day fun. Harkness notes that the paradeand accompanying activities have grown every year. “By the time weget down to where we turn the river green, there are hundreds of people there.’ There’s even a Blarney Stone, decorations, and green lights. “We try to make the afternoon a truly family (friendly) event. We started this with a small committee ten to twelve years ago. It’s turned into (one of Jamestown’s) signature events.” Although Jamestown is noted more for its Swedish and Italian heritage,Harkness notes that Irish settlers didcome to work on the railroad. While the Irish population was not huge,“We wanted to do something new and different, be fun, and something that families can be involved with.And we didn’t know of any otherSt. Patrick’s Day celebrations in thearea.”

The major wines of France and Germany are the focus of a March 20 class offered by Jamestown Community College and Food Is Good, Inc. Part of the Wine Connoisseur’s Corner, this is one of a number of wine classes offered by the college’s Center for Continuing Education. “We see these classes as an experience,” said Delana Rupp, Interim Director of Continuing Education. The classes provide participants with a chance to learn about and try different wines “whether they are a wine connoisseur or just looking to learn more about wine,” Rupp said. The class on March 20 is from 3-5pm and focuses on wine varieties

from France and Germany. The class is taught by Marcia Clark, a professional sommelier. Participants will be able to taste the wines that are discussed, as well as learn about their history and the regions where they are produced. Clark will also cover the styles and characteristics of wine, as well as tips on food and wine pairings. “Participants get to sample the wine, so they can become accustomed to what they like and what they don’t like,” Rupp said. “It gives them the opportunity to try wines from regions they might not have tried.” Even those who already know their wine preferences can benefi t, since tastes in wine change over time, she said. The classes are held in a private dining room at Olive’s Restaurant in Mayville, and participants are

“welcome to stay for dinner and extend the celebration,” Rupp said. Past Wine Connoisseur’s Corner course have revolved around specifi c varieties of wine, events, or regions. They have also offered sessions in the basics of wine tasting and food and wine pairing. Upcoming classes include the wines of Chile and Argentina on March 13, and the wines of Italy and Spain on March 27. “We do Wine Connoisseur’s Corner courses in the spring and fall, highlighting different wines or wine topics of interest to the public,” Rupp said. Registration continues up until the day before the class, and is $39 per person. To register, or for more information, call 716-338-1005 or visit www.sunyjcc.edu/continuinged

Lily Dale SponsorshipLily Dale Assembly Sponsors Fredonia Opera House Movie Series

Pictured: L to R) Lily Dale Assembly President Lynne Wiltsie, Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis and Lily Dale Assembly Executive Director Susan Glasier review the poster for “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,” the fi rst spring fi lm in the Opera House’s free-admission Family Night at the Movies Series, which is newly sponsored by Lily Dale Assembly.

FREDONIA – For the past seven years, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House has been presenting a half dozen family focused fi lms each year with no admission charge as part of its mission to “provide affordable quality entertainment” to the community. In the past, the cost of presenting this Family Night at the Movies series of fi lms with no admission charge has been covered by a sponsorship from the D.R. Barker Library. This year, however, due to fi nancial constraints, the Library regretfully withdrew its long-standing sponsorship, potentially forcing the cancellation of the series. Family Night at the Movies

will continue as planned, thanks to the generosity of the Lily Dale Assembly, which has signed on as the new sponsor of the series. “We are very grateful to the Lily Dale Assembly for sponsoring our Family Night at the Movies series,” notes Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis. “This series of free admission fi lms is an important part of our programming. We know it can be expensive to treat the whole family to a night out; so having the costs of the series covered through sponsorship means we can continue to provide families from all walks of life the chance to enjoy quality entertainment without fi nancial hardship.”

“The Lily Dale AssemblyBoard of Directors and themembers of the Assemblyare pleased to be a part ofthe Opera House’s continuedefforts to provide valuableservice within the Town ofPomfret,” notes Lily DaleAssembly President LynneWiltsie. “We are particularlypleased to support family andyouth activities; and we wishthe Opera House continuedsuccess in these efforts.” Movies to be featured thisspring as part of the seriesinclude: “Cloudy with aChance of Meatballs” on Fri.,Feb. 26; “Marley & Me” onFri., Mar. 26; and “Garfi eld:The Movie” on Fri., Apr. 30.The Book Nook is a partner inthe series and donates copiesof books connected with themovies that are given away ina random drawing at the startof each fi lm.

In 1972, artist Judy Chicago and a team of students from the California Institute of the Arts Feminist Art Program restored an abandoned mansion in Hollywood. This became “Womanhouse”: a three dimensional canvas for the fi rst ever exhibit of feminist art. “Womanhouse” was an historic event only open to the pubic for one month in 1972 and attracted nation-wide attention. “Womanhouse”

be Fridays 4-7pm and Saturdays 12-4pm throughout the month additional hours may be posted on the website http://www.adamsart.org . The exhibit pays homage to Judy Chicago’s original installation while expanding into something contemporary. Some of the “Rearranging Womanhouse” projects include a garden made of recycled garbage, and a space called the “womb room”.This exhibit is an opportunity for the Dunkirk/Fredonia community to show their support for the SUNY Fredonia students and the wonderful programs offered at the college. The exhibit is free of charge and can been seen at Adam’s Art Gallery 600 Central Avenue Dunkirk NY. Other exhibits scheduled in the near future is the Urbscheit 2010 High School Art Show April 16th 2010 - May 14th 2010, information about these shows, volunteer opportunities or to participate can be obtained by emailing adams.art@live.com

On display at the Adam’s Art Gallery this month you will see such works by the students like a garden made of recycled garbage and a space called the “womb room”.

Although Springtime is fast approaching, for those of you who enjoy wintry pursuits there’s no need to panic. The snowmobiling, skiing, boarding, snowshoeing, ice fi shing, skating, dog sledding, and

snowball throwing seasons are still in full swing down in this corner of the great state of New York. This wonderful season will continue to be around for quite a while longer, thank you very much!

And did I mention the scenery? What a backdrop for winter fun. Gorgeous views abound, and the weather is – well – cold but sunny this time of year. Heck, I just had a picnic ON the lake with my good ol’ buddies in Bemus Point last weekend. If you’re reading this issue, I don’t have to tell you how lucky you are to be standing in Chautauqua County at this very moment. Take full advantage of everything this area has to offer. Get outside, breath the crisp air and stay active. It will make the crackling fi re and wonderful glass of home-grown merlot at the end of the day that much more delectable. Until next time… JZ

My name is Erica Walker. I am 35 years old.

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.

I have most recently been attending Erie Community College in hopes of attaining my Registered Nursing degree. I have about another year before I complete it. However, I’ve decided to take a break from it while attending to my most recent illness. I am trying to be brave and stay healthy enough until I can receive a kidney transplant. Doctors say I’m fairly young to be diagnosed with CKD. I have been receiving dialysis treatments for about a year now. I worked at Interstate Baking Company for 10 years prior to the plant closing a few years back. They made Wonder Bread and Hostess products right here in Buffalo, NY. My boyfriend, Jim, and I have recently purchased and moved into our fi rst home. We’re very excited. Our plans are to marry and raise a family here in Cheektowaga. If you are blood type “A” and would like to be Erica’s living kidney donor, please call Jeanette Ostrom at 716-450-8958 or e-mail Erica at jmark1@roadrunner.com

Maple producers across Chautauqua County are getting ready for this year’s edition of the Maple Weekend. The event actually takes place on the two consecutive weekends of March 20th to 21st, and March 27th to 28th. The goal is to showcase real maple syrup and how it is made, according to the New York State Maple Producers Association. Local producers intend to do just that. Participating maple farms will offer tours, and demonstrations on the making of maple products, boiling maple syrup, and show you how by-products like maple sugar and cream are made. Visitors are sure not to walk away hungry as many maple makers like to show off their wares and offer up pancakes. For more information and a complete list of participating maple producers, visit www.mapleweekend.com.

disabilities. He added that by teaming up with the wineries for this event the individuals taking part in the centers art program could share their works with a much larger audience and help promote the program. “I can’t imagine how it must feel to see your work displayed in public, and having someone express interest in buying your work, it must be incredible,” he said. Jennifer Johnson, with Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, said that this reception is a way for the wineries to support The Resource Center’s artists in a smaller, more relaxed setting than during the Wine and Art Event later in the month. She said that there has historically been a connection between art viewing and wine tasting, and that they naturally seem to go together. Johnson said that one of the concerns held by all the wineries of the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail is the need for responsible drinking, and it is for this reason that there are limits on the amount of wine served at the Trail’s weekend events. She said this event promotes moderation when drinking, since some of the individuals in the center’s art program have suffered brain damage and injuries caused by alcohol-related accidents, and fetal alcohol syndrome caused by mothers drinking while pregnant, though Waterson added that he is not certain

anyone taking part in the Wineries and Artist Reception has an alcohol-related disability. The celebration of the natural pairing of wine and art is the reason the 21 wineries affi liated with the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine trail and the North East Arts Council decided to host the Wine and Art Event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 20 and 21. Johnson said the Wine and Arts Event would feature over 30 artists, with most of the wineries having between one and three artists displaying and auctioning off their works. Some of the wineries will also feature artists demonstrating their techniques. The Wine and Art Event will feature covering various styles of art, including landscape painting, glass blowing, block printing and photography. Landscape artist Thomas Annear, who will be showcasing at Liberty Vineyards in Sheridan NY, said he would be showing some of his fi nished works, a work in progress and he would demonstrate how he sets up a paint easel, palette and materials. He also said that he would discuss the diffi culties of traveling to remote locations to paint a scene, and the amount of planning that goes into a 2,000-mile painting trip. He said that there would be two one-hour-long demonstrations each day, and that they would begin at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Artist Audrey Kay Dowling,

who will be showcasing at Noble winery in Westfi eld NY, said she would be showing off her ceramic and block printing works, and that she would be demonstrating how to block print using pieces of linoleum. Ticket prices for the Wine and Art Event are $30 for a single ticket for Sunday, $35 for a single weekend pass, $55 for a couples Sunday ticket and $60 for a couples pass for the weekend. A single ticket purchase includes an event wineglass, a Wine Trail gift and $5 voucher for wine or food, a purchase of a couples ticket includes a single Wine Trail gift, two event wine glasses and $5 voucher for wine or food. The South Shore Wine Company is located at 1120 Freeport Road in the town of North East, Pa. The Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail is a consortium of 21 wineries along Lake Erie in both New York and Pennsylvania whose mission is to support and promote the wine and grape industries in Chautauqua County, NY and Erie County, PA.
