There are nearly 70,000 people in Western New York that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and statistics show that for every 1 person with Alzheimer’s disease, there are 3 caregivers caring for them. This means that there are an estimated 210,000 Western New Yorkers caring for a loved one with the disease which is a total of 280,000 Western New Yorkers that are impacted by it!

I see the effects of this disease daily as the Administrative Assistant for Memory Garden (an assisted living facility built specifically for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia). This is also a personal journey for me because both of my grandmothers had Alzheimer’s. Therefore, I have decided to hold “Patti’s Purple Party” with all proceeds going to the WNY Alzheimer’s Association.

I would like to invite everyone to join me for the party and /or this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. “Patti’s Purple Party” is being held at the Celoron American Legion Post 777 located at 26 Jackson Avenue WE from 1:00 – 5:00pm on Sunday, Contributing Writer September 25th.

We try never to refuse an emergency and to respond within one hour or less.” Speed is important is businesses that respond to water emergencies. “You can pump out a basement, but you can never replace that box of family pictures if you take too long getting there.” tJ’s pLuMBinG & HeatinG Jamestown • Dunkirk/FreDonia • erie • warren, Pa WWW.tJspLuMBinG.coM

Guest Contributor Joni Blackman, Fenton History Center Director The Fenton History Center’s annual Civil War encampment day, Blue & Gray, will have an added ceremony this year. To commemorate our local boot camp, Camp Brown, and the start of the Civil War, a wreath of remembrance will be placed on Saturday September 24 at 9 AM. The Camp’s marker is located at the corner of Brown and Prospect Sts. in Jamestown. Jamestown Mayor Sam Teresi and re-enactors from the 9th Cavalry NY Volunteers and the 155th Infantry NY Volunteers will lead the ceremony. HoW caMp BroWn caMe to Be In the summer of 1862 President Lincoln called for 300,000 volunteers from the Governors of the Union States. New York was ordered by the War Department to raise 28 new Regiments. On July 7, 1862 New York Governor Edwin D. Morgan asked the men of the State to form units in the field as soon as possible using the already established Senatorial districts as the guidelines. Answering the call, the people of western New York set to work to meet the challenge. Chautauqua County was called upon for a thousand men. New York State offered a $50 dollar bounty to any volunteer that answered the call. This $50 was in addition to a $100 dollar bounty offered by the Federal Government. The work of recruiting a Regiment from Chautauqua County New York was met with vigor. War meetings were held throughout the county. A Military Committee of the most energetic and respected men was appointed and it was resolved to raise one new regiment in the district. The Honorable Augustus F. Allen of Jamestown, the committee chairman, was designated Colonel and Commandant of the District Military Depot. The committee members were from Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. They were George W. Patterson, John G. Hinckley, Milton Smith, John F. Phelps, Charles Kennedy, H.C. Young, J.P. Darling, Addison G. Rice (named first Colonel of the 154th New York), D.E. Sill and J.C. Devereaux. Jamestown was designated as the place where the new regiment was to be formed. Chautauqua County would contribute six companies and neighboring Cattaraugus County four. Every man who could influence others was set to work. In some cases a subscription was offered to those who volunteered. Ten dollars paid to some, in other cases, several thousand dollars raised and paid out. At the meetings, watches, diamond rings and pictures were sold and contributed to the funds. In many villages businesses were closed early and the men and women attended war meetings. On August 14, 1862 the Military Committee was determined to raise two new regiments, one from each county. New York State announced in early September that the State bounty of $50 dollars would cease on September 6. Men, who had been delaying volunteering or were not sure of the call, became aware of the impending draft and loss of the State bounty. Many felt three years was too long, but found themselves facing a draft and all felt the volunteer regiments would be treated much better than Regular Army drafted regiments. The regiments were raised by early September. The Chautauqua Regiment was raised, plus two full Statue of Reuben Eaton Fenton in front of the Fenton History Center. Companies (E&F) assigned to the Cattaraugus Regiment, the 154th NY, plus an extra Company of Sharpshooters, designated the 7th Company, New York State Sharpshooters. The Military Committee led by Colonel Augustus Allen, had to appoint a Colonel for the Regiment because Colonel Allen was not physically transports visitors back a century and a half to an era when able and could not leave his business.
