I was reminded by Julia Garstecki’s July 6, How Did I Get Here Column, how quickly our children grow up. It makes me think that as adults we often overlook our own aging as we watch our children age. I know that I find myself in shock when I see some “kids” reaching milestones that they can’t possibly be old enough to reach, but reality says otherwise. The same is true for the senior population, they also find times when they look in the mirror and wonder about the reflection. Who is that “senior citizen” looking back at me? They find themselves sitting at their children’s Cruises, the Bemus Bay Pops Cruise, “Light the Lakes,” Fall Foliage wedding anniversaries or retirement parties and wonder how it could be possible to be there. There Cruises and other nightly specials all represent the kind of variety is always someone “older” but what happens when that person is you? How do you know it’s you? that takes constant innovation so that a visitor’s next excursion is Don’t let it worry you, because the way I see it, it’s an accomplishment, something to be proud of always different from their last. and even look forward to. You spend a great deal of your adulthood raising children or somehow “Just come on board, grab your margarita or a Corona, and your being involved in bringing up the next generation in other ways, that then you’ll want to see what funny hat, and you’re good to go,” Marilyn says with an inviting they do with the knowledge they’ve been given. smile. Wine, Women, & Water Cruises for the “girlie” patrons When I meet a senior citizen, I always wonder about the paths they’ve taken in life and how they have also become very popular.

I have learned a lot of home remedies and cleaning tips from folks who dream of creating a new business. “Start by doing your seniors I’ve met. I’ve heard stories of triumph and tragedy from throughout our country, and from homework.

I could be reading old find out all you can about what the people want.” newspapers or history books, but they don’t hold a candle to the eyes that I see, their smiles and the personal memorabilia. Personal experience and human emotion are much more powerful than “But you can’t expect people to just turn up at your door,” Marilyn anything in print when it comes to describing events in a person’s lifetime. warns. She advises starting at the Jamestown SBDC—the Small Business Development Center—at Jamestown Community College, A good friend of mine once told me that a great way to share your thoughts and experiences is to which serves Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties. “And keep a simple memory book; just a place for you to write down those memories that made you the Chautauqua County Visitor’s Bureau is a great place to get your who you are and how you got here today.

The devastation and hardship were overwhelming, but one incident in particular, reported by Pickut, shows that the human spirit is resilient, nearly unconquerable. “And that could happen here, too,” Pickut recently told members of the local chapter. One multistory home in particular had been so totally demolished little more than a pile of matchstick debris lay scattered where the home once stood. As the Red Cross teams spread through the neighborhood to help people find shelter, reconnect with loved ones and retrieve pieces of their lives, Pickut encountered the homeowners sweeping bits of wreckage off their sidewalk. The Red Cross workers approached the home, picking their way down the rubble strewn street. The couple stopped sweeping and said, “We have some bottled water here we can share. Can we give you something cold to drink?”ers “That would happen here, too,” Pickut said, “I just know it.

Leino secured himself a future in the League when he signed with Buffalo. Coming off a career- best 53 points in 81 games with the Flyers last season Leino will fit right into the Sabres speedy offence. Leino came to the NHL from Finland at 25-year-old. He signed with the Detroit Red Wings, but it never worked out there and he was traded to Philadelphia for Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a fifth-round pick on Feb. 6, 2010. Leino will be replacing Tim Connolly who was signed by Toronto. Leino was the last of three great signings the Sabres made. On June 29th the Sabres signed unrestricted free agent defenseman Christian Ehrhoff to a long-term contract. Buffalo acquired the exclusive rights to negotiate with Ehrhoff from the New York Islanders. The other splash the Sabres made was acquiring veteran defenseman Robyn Regehr, forward Ales Kotalik and a second- round draft pick in 2012 for Chris Butler and Paul Byron. The deal was announced just moments before the second round of the NHL Entry Draft began at the Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota. Regehr, who waived his no-trade clause, has played JamEStoWn SkatinG CluB to ContinuE all 11 of his NHL seasons with the Flames. In 826 games, he has 29 goals, 163 points and 802 penalty minutes.

He spent his first six-plus programs for young figure skaters and hockey skaters. season with the Sabres, posting career highs of 25 goals and 62 points in 2005-06. Ellen Darrow, President of the Skating Club, is currently evaluating the best ice times for the skaters to continue their tutelage under Coach Lindsay Marzec. Currently, the Skating Club meets on Tuesdays and Wednesday from 3:30 pm until 6:30 pm. Kurt Silcott, CEO of The Jamestown Savings Bank Arena stated, “We anticipate that they will take more hours in due time. At this point, the club is going to survey the skaters and coaches and see what times will work best. We will do our best to accommodate them once we know the times and number of hours they want.” The Skating Club also has plans to continue the “Learn To Skate” program in the fall. The program will also include, “Learn to Skate for Hockey.” Head Coach of the Jamestown Ironmen, Dan Daikawa, has agreed to help with the program. “It’s great to see a tenant of the building take this type of ownership in the community,” said Silcott. “Coach Daikawa has volunteered himself, as well as his players to help the program grow. We’re all looking forward to having him as a part of The Skating Club’s activities.” Anyone interested in information for membership in the Skating Club can call 716-640-4864 and leave a message or call the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena for more information.
