Historical Society presents book discussion group
Here's some information that was sent to me from the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society
Dear Members and Friends of the Historical Society:
Once again, the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society is teaming up with the New York Council for the Humanities to present two separate Reading Between the Lines monthly book discussion groups. One of the groups will be hosted at the History Museum, the other at Old Editions Book Shop. “Reading Between the Lines offers an unusual twist on the standard book group format with focused thematic discussions led by humanities scholars,” says New York Council for the Humanities Executive Director Sara Ogger.
The first session, titled “Travel and Tourism Narratives in the Empire State,” will take place at Old Editions Book Shop, located at 68 East Huron Street at Oak Street. The titles for this unit were selected by Gregory Young, a graduate student at the State University at Buffalo. Young will also moderate the series, which features the following dates and books:
Tuesday, October 7 at 4:30 p.m. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow & Other Tales by native New Yorker Washington Irving is the perfect American classic for readers looking to get into the Halloween mood.
Tuesday, November 11 at 4:30 p.m. The Artificial River: The Erie Canal and the Paradox of Progress, 1817-1862 by Carol Sheriff examines the impact of the Erie Canal on the lives of ordinary people.
Tuesday, December 9 at 4:30 p.m. The Second Greatest Disappointment: Honeymooning and Tourism at Niagara Falls by Karen Dubinsky looks at the cultural significance of the Falls.
Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. Taxi!: A Social History of the New York City Cabdriver by Graham Russell Gao Hodges explores the development of the city through this iconic profession.
The second session, titled “Finding Liberty in Literature,” will take place at the History Museum, located at 25 Nottingham Court at Elmwood Avenue. This session will use titles selected by Rachel Reichenbach, a graduate student in the Sociology Department of Cornell University, to look at the ongoing American struggle for peace, justice, and freedom. Shane Butterfield, a History graduate student at the University of Rochester, will moderate the series, which features the following dates and books:
Wednesday, October 22 at 1:30 p.m., Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil is a collection of writings by the early 20th century African-American scholar, educator, and activist W.E.B. DuBois.
Wednesday, November 19 at 1:30 p.m. Peace, Power, Righteousness: An Indigenous Manifesto by the Mohawk scholar Taiaiake Alfred calls on indigenous peoples to return to their traditions to train leaders committed to values.
Wednesday, December 10 at 1:30 p.m. Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich looks at the realities of minimum wage work in America and its effects on women’s lives.
Wednesday, January (date to be determined), 1:30 p.m. Common Sense by Thomas Paine was a seminal work in defining the fight for American independence from the British.
Both Reading Between the Lines sessions are free and the required books will be provided for loan. The sessions are open to the public, but the group sizes are limited and pre-registration is required. Past participants may not apply. To register, the public may contact Historical Society Adult Education Coordinator Kathleen Vogel Mathews at (716) 873-9644, ext. 317 or programs@bechs.org.
The last Pan-Am Walking Tour of the 2008 season is scheduled for Sunday, October 5, 12:30-2:00 p.m. Cost: $10 per person includes souvenir guide map.
Let your mind’s eye imagine that fine time when, from May to November 1901, over 8 million people from all over the world traveled to Buffalo to witness marvels -- Electric lights! Distant cultures! Midway curiosities! Fountains and pavilions! – showcased at the Pan-American Exposition. Today, very little Exposition remains on these grounds, now one of Buffalo's most popular residential neighborhoods. Walk with us through this special area of the city, where triumph and tragedy marked Buffalo's greatest moment in history.
Guided tour begins from Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, 25 Nottingham Court at Elmwood Avenue. No reservations required. The tour will take place weather permitting, no rain date. Call 873-9644 ext. 301 to check schedule.
The tours will begin again next May.

Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push plays at Fredonia Opera House October 4.
Here's a press release I received from the Fredonia Opera House
Rick A. Davis, Executive Director, 1891 Fredonia Opera House, 9 Church St., PO Box 384, Fredonia, NY 14063 716/679-0891 http://www.fredopera.org/
Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push –
Grammy Nominated Polka Band to Play Opera House
FREDONIA – Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push, 12-time Grammy Award nominees for Best Polka Band, will bring their widely loved brand of Polka music to the 1891 Fredonia Opera House on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 8 p.m.
Lenny Gomulka formed Chicago Push in January 1980. The band was inspired by Gomulka’s heritage and has evolved into the most progressive sound in polka music of the past two and a half decades. Noted for its unique arrangements and innovative musical techniques, Chicago Push has performed all across the country and internationally. Under Gomulka’s direction, the band has received countless awards from various radio stations across the country, booster clubs, promoters within the field and organizations such as the International Polka Association, United States Polka Association and the United Polka Association. The band has been nominated for 12 Grammy Awards for Best Polka Band.
Gomulka grew up in a predominantly Polish neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago near the stockyard district. The youngest of four children, he began playing drums at the age of 4 and trumpet at the age of 11. He recorded his first record album at age 12 and appeared on Ron Terry’s Amateur Hour on Chicago’s WGN-TV. At age 13 he mastered clarinet, sax, concertina & bass guitar and was granted an exceptional membership into the Chicago Federation of Musicians Union. At 14 he began playing & recording with Polka music legends such as Li’l Wally, Marion Lush and Eddie Blazonczyk. Twenty years later, at 34 Gomulka received his first Grammy Award nomination the first year an award for Polka music was presented. Four years later he was elected by his peers to the International Polka Music Hall of Fame.
Gomulka and Chicago Push created the “Push” style of polka music, which now is well-known among young musicians and Polka audiences as music that is both traditional and innovative, appealing to Polka fans of all ages.
“Polka is a special music, and Lenny Gomulka is a special polka artist,” notes Billboard magazine. “He’s one of the key purveyors of the high energy “Push” Polka style, and he has musically distinguished the sound in performance and also lyrically with his defining original composition ‘Chicago Style Music’.”
“Since 1980, Lenny Gomulka and the Chicago Push have been one of the most important polka bands in America,” notes Barry Sher, author of The Nostradamus Polka Page. “Lenny’s top-notch trumpet playing, beautiful voice and creative songwriting have set a high standard for others to aspire to.”
“Lenny Gomulka ranks among the best in the best field ... and that's saying a lot in a field that is filled with highly talented musicians. He and his Chicago Push have always been not only entertaining, but inventive, giving the polka a new, more modern image while still satisfying the tastes of polka purists,” adds Polonia Today. “If Polka music will survive and expand its base, it will be because of dedicated musicians such as Lenny,”
Tickets to Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push are $15 general admission ($13 for Opera House members) and may be purchased in person at the Opera House Box Office or by phone at 716/679-1891 Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m. and Saturday, 2-5 p.m. They also may be purchased online any time at http://www.fredopera.org/.
This performance is sponsored by Arkwright Printing. It also is made possible, in part, with public funds from NYSCA, a state agency, and the United Arts Appeal of Chautauqua County.
Chautauqua County’s only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events is available at http://www.fredopera.org/.

Well-known children's author, Jim Arnosky at RTPI Oct. 4
Children’s author Jim Arnosky
Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 1 PM
The program is free—children, families, teachers, and students are all encouraged to attend.
The noted children’s author is coming to the Roger Tory Peterson Institute (RTPI) for a free public program on Saturday, October 4, 2008 at 1 PM. Crinkleroot, created for his very first children's book, has proven to be a staple for Arnosky, who has introduced a multitude of animal facts to young readers through the guise of this grand-fatherly woodsman. RTPI is located at 311 Curtis Street in Jamestown, New York.
Jim Arnosky is an artist, naturalist, and dedicated environmentalist. He is self-taught in writing, art and the natural sciences. He began writing and illustrating his now popular books so he could share his enthusiasm for nature with kids. He has written and illustrated more than 91 books for children. He has also illustrated 46 books by other authors. Some of his well-known children’s books include the “All About” titles, such as All About Rattlesnakes and All About Deer. He is the author of the popular Crinkleroot series as well, which includes titles such as Crinkleroot’s Guide to Knowing the Birds. Some of his recent works are Babies in the Bayou (January 2007), The Brook Book (February 2008), and Wild Tracks!: A Guide to Nature’s Footprints (April 2008).
Of his work, Arnosky has said, “I prefer to show rather than tell, to teach rather than preach, to guide rather than simply warn. In showing my readers what I look for in my ramblings, I hope that they will keep an eye out for such things and make discoveries of their own when they are outdoors.” Mr. Arnosky is known for his detailed, accurate illustrations. He shares his techniques with kids in his drawing and sketching books, which is something he also enjoys doing with small groups of children. Mr. Arnosky has been awarded the Christopher Medal, Orbis Pictus Honor, ALA Gordon Award, and Outstanding Science book awards from National Science Teachers Associations. Besides writing and illustrating, Jim loves to fish, boat, and play his guitar. He lives on a 20-acre farm with his family in South Ryegate, Vermont.
“Making Nature Come Alive For Young People” is part of RTPI’s Nature Writer Lecture Series, sponsored by the Holmberg Foundation of Jamestown. Jim will be discussing his latest book, Crocodile Safari, which is due out in the spring of 2009. He will also be engaging the audience by playing his guitar and singing some songs that he has made into books, such as Gobble It Up (Fall 2008) and I’m A Turkey (Fall 2009). In addition, Jim will be debuting a new, original song to introduce his readers to the life and work of Roger Tory Peterson! Jim’s video and photography methods to study wildlife will also be discussed. The program is free—children, families, teachers, and students are all encouraged to attend.
Don’t miss this unique chance to meet the author at RTPI on Saturday, October 4th at 1 PM! Books will be available for sale and signing. Please visit the author’s website at www.jimarnosky.com. For more information about this or other events please contact the Institute at (716) 665-2473, (800) 758-6841, janejohnson@rtpi.org or visit www.rtpi.org. The Roger Tory Peterson Institute is located at 311 Curtis Street in Jamestown, NY.

Niagara International Kite Festival Oct. 2-5
Here's an e-mail and press release I received from the folks that help promote Niagara county.
Kites from around the world will be flying high over the mighty Niagara Gorge and various other spots along the Niagara River throughout the weekend of October 2-5 during the 5th annual Niagara International Kite Festival. The event has already caught the attention of the national media; it has been featured on Good Morning America and was named one of the six best international festivals of 2008 by the London Sunday Times Travel Magazine.
Last year’s Kite Festival was attended by more than 25,000 kite enthusiasts from across the globe. This year’s festival highlights the 20th anniversary of the Revolution Kite. The ‘Rev’ for short, is a quad line sport kite, which is an engineering marvel that has revolutionized the sport of kite flying! The kite flies on four lines of spectra fiber with extreme precision and control. The amazing sport kite can stop on a dime in mid air, fly in reverse, and spin in circles http://revkites.com. In celebration of this anniversary, the world famous Team iQuad will amaze onlookers with their unique kite flying shows that feature up to twelve aerodynamic kites racing through the sky in complete synchronized motion, performing aerial maneuvers that can be categorized as high-flying ballet in the sky.
The Kite Festival is to commemorate both the rich history of kites in the region and Homan Welsh, a young boy whose kite flying skills in a kite contest made it possible for the first suspension bridge to be built over the Niagara Gorge. (He landed his kite on the other side of the gorge, establishing the first connection, allowing builders to eventually turn the kite string to metal suspension by building on the string over a period of time). The festival will feature a Homan Walsh kite contest re-enactment featuring local teams, an inspirational attempt to form an arch from the US to Canada made of kites to demonstrate a sign of peace, an indoor night kite flying show, on-site exhibits, a world record setting kite flyer and much, much more.

Niagara Falls opens it skies to welcome the fifth annual
Niagara International Kite Festival
Niagara Falls, New York – The 2008 Niagara International Kite Festival will fill the skies October 2-5, 2008 at various locations around Niagara Falls, New York and Niagara Falls, Ontario, while swooping up the imaginations of event-goers of all ages. Last year’s festival drew more than 25,000 kite enthusiasts from around the world, and organizers are forecasting even larger attendance this year. The Festival was named one of the six best international festivals of 2008 by the London Sunday Times Travel Magazine and was recently featured on ABC’s Good Morning America.
The Niagara International Kite Festival promises to sweep festival-goers off their feet as the skies above the mighty cascades will be filled with magnificent kites of all colors and sizes, with more than 100 world-class kite flyers attending from 13 countries. A highlight of this year’s festival is the special appearance of the world-famous professional kite flying group, Team iQuad, which will help the annual Niagara International Kite Festival celebrate the 20th anniversary of the invention of the Revolution Kite. The ‘Rev’ for short, is a quad line sport kite, which is an engineering marvel that has revolutionized the sport of kite flying! The kite flies on four lines of spectra fiber with extreme precision and control. The amazing sport kite can stop on a dime in mid air, fly in reverse, and spin in circles http://revkites.com. In celebration of this anniversary, Team iQuad will amaze onlookers with their unique kite flying shows that feature up to twelve aerodynamic kites racing through the sky in complete synchronized motion, performing aerial maneuvers that can be categorized as high-flying ballet in the sky.
The weekend long festival will also include kite-making workshops, historical re-enactments, kite competitions and even Bol racing, kite buggying and mountain boarding, with professional teams from all over the world -- as far away as Japan and Tasmania -- participating. There will also be instructors from Revolution on hand at the Niagara event to give free ‘Rev’ flying lessons for those who catch the fever of this awe-inspiring kite-flying style.
Below are some highlights of the 2008 Niagara International Kite Festival:
TEAM iQuad:
The internationally acclaimed Team iQuad will be bringing their high energy, aerobatic kite-flying to the 2008 Niagara International Kite Festival. The team is a group of dedicated Revolution kite flying fans who came together in the spring of 2006 with one goal in mind, the promotion of quad team flying. Relatively new to North America, this type of kite-flying has been a mainstay of European kite flying for many years, starting back in the early 90s in England and eventually spreading to a handful of countries throughout Europe. Team iQuad is made up of nearly a dozen kite pilots from all over the USA and Canada who travel the world year round, performing and teaching. Revolution kite-flying is an exciting, family-oriented sport that is accessible to people of all ages and physical abilities in a wide variety of wind conditions. Today quad team flying is the hottest rage in kite-flying. Team iQuad is one of the best in the world and promises to amaze festival goers.

HISTORY:
Annual Homan Walsh 1848 Re-enactment Contest
Whirlpool State Park, Niagara USA
Thursday, October 2 & Friday October 3 from 11 am to 4 pm
**The exact time and location of this program is dependent on the wind speed and direction the day of the event.
In 1848 Niagara Falls residents decided a bridge spanning the great Niagara gorge would be a big boost to the local economy. The technology to build the bridge was not a problem, however locals were at a loss as to how to get that very important first line across the gorge. The steep cliffs, mighty swirling rapids, and frigid winds hindered boats or other conventional methods to establish the first line connecting the two countries. Homan Walsh, a fifteen-year old boy came to the rescue and attempted to fly the line over with his kite. After many hours of effort – darkness came and went -- Homan finally achieved his goal and was rewarded with the (then) princely sum of $10!
In celebration of this 160th anniversary and to honor this innovative young boy, several teams of kite fliers from both the US and Canada will attempt to re-enact Homan’s ingenious accomplishment. The re-enactment will occur simultaneously at various locations along the Niagara Gorge in both Canada and the USA. Kite fliers looking to feel the spray of the falls on their face, and increase their difficulty factor significantly, will attempt to fly their kites across the span of the gorge right next to the falls at Terrapin Point.
Arch Across the Gorge:
Whirlpool State Park, Niagara USA
Thursday, October 2 & Friday October 3 from 11 am to 4 pm
**The exact time and location of this program is dependent on the wind speed and direction the day of the event.
In what has become one of the Niagara International Kite Festival’s most anticipated tradition, an attempt will be made to fly a kite arch spanning the Niagara Gorge and connecting the United States and Canada. Due to the swirling and unpredictable winds of the Niagara Gorge, the attempt to connect the two countries with the arch is not an easy accomplishment; in fact it is one of the hardest feats in all of kite-flying and has only been done successfully a few times. This year’s kite arch will be flown by Iqbal Husain of Switzerland. The kite arch represents a symbol of peace and unity between the two countries and also shows support for the One Sky One World concept to which most kite fliers strongly subscribe. The exact location of the arch crossing will be determined by the wind speed and direction, but it will likely be the original site where young Homan Walsh achieved his magnificent kite flying feat, just north of the Whirlpool Bridge in Whirlpool State Park.
