Jamestown Junior Chase Bonta Named To Class AA All-State First Team SHOW ARTICLE -->Jamestown junior linebacker Chase Bonta was named to the Class AA All-State First Team by the New York State Sportswriters Association on Wednesday. P-J file photo by Tim FrankChase Bonta has landed himself in the company of not only the best current high school football players in New York state, but he has also joined an elite fraternity in the history of Jamestown High School.For when the New York State Sportswriters Association announced its Class AA All-State teams Wednesday, the 5-foot-9, 195-pound junior found his name on the First-Team, a testament to him turning in one of the best seasons in the annals of the Red & Green.Selected as a linebacker, Bonta racked up 119 total tackles, including 14 for loss, and forced two fumbles and recovered another, which helped Jamestown to a berth in the Section VI championship game at Highmark Stadium. “He’s really gone above and beyond this season,” head coach Tom Langworthy said last November. ” … I think it’s very clear he’s one of the top players in our area.”But for as dominant as he was on the defensive side of the ball, the numbers he produced as Langworthy’s featured running back place him among the Red & Green’s all-time best.Jamestown’s Tommy Pratton was named to Class AA Third-Team All-State at offensive line. P-J file photo by Tim FrankA Post-Journal/OBSERVER All-Star and the Class AA Player of the Year, Bonta rushed for 1,939 yards — third-most in Section VI this season and fourth-most in school history — on 286 carries and scored 26 touchdowns. Highlighting his list of personal accomplishments was his performance against Hutch Tech when he ran for a school-record 373 yards on 30 carries and scored eight touchdowns in a 63-0 win.“At 7:30 in the morning I texted (Langworthy), ‘Good morning, it’s a great day. I feel like I’m rushing for 300 today,'” Bonta said after that game. “I texted my O-line and I told them I loved them and that we were going to go to battle together.”By virtue

Homeless Controversy Dims, City Still Looking For Help SHOW ARTICLE --> A wet blanket and blue tarp shelter is pictured in early 2024 on Jamestown’s north side. A makeshift ventilation and heating system was found in the shelter and approximately 3 feet behind the site was a hole dug into the ground for human waste disposal. P-J photo by Christopher BlakesleeThe city of Jamestown spent more than $100,000 in 2024 dealing with the rising number of homeless in the city – a number that doesn’t account for staff time. Mayor Kim Ecklund told The Post-Journal recently that the state of emergency over the summer underscored the urgent need to address the escalating homelessness crisis that has significantly strained city resources, with the total amount to date spent by the city to clean up illegal encampments reaching $124,576.57. Ecklund said city staff continue to spend time on the homeless issue. “If payroll costs were included, the financial burden would be even more staggering,” Ecklund said. “Despite submitting detailed invoices and a formal reimbursement request to Governor Kathy Hochul’s office, the city has received no funding, response, or communication in return. Jamestown has not received any financial support, neither before or after declaring the State of Emergency, to address homelessness, a crisis that continues to place significant strain on our already limited resources. In the midst of ongoing financial challenges, the city cannot continue to absorb the escalating costs of addressing homelessness through temporary solutions.”Without a long-term strategy that will tackle the

Matthew E. Hall SHOW ARTICLE --> Matthew E. Hall, 56, of Jamestown, peacefully passed on from this life early Friday morning August 2, 2024.Born June 1, 1968, the son of David Hall and the late Darlene Dominoski Hall in Hartford, WIMatt grew up in Sinclairville, NY, and graduated from Cassadaga Valley Central School in 1986.Matt was widely known for his use of encaustic techniques for his bold paintings. Also, he is recognized for enjoying and playing various styles of guitars and music.Besides his mother he was preceded in death by his grandparents Frank and Wanda Dominoski and Earle and Mary Hall who he was especially close with.Proudly Matt is survived by his son Elijah Hall of Pittsburgh, PA; Elijah’s mother Pam Gifford; his father, David (Peggy) Hall of Mayville; stepmother Barbara Hall of Pittsfield; his siblings: Patrick (Tina) Hall, Ann Marie (Randy) Gustafson, Nichole (Paul) Connelly of Pittsfield, PA, Joseph (Elisabeth) Hall of Sinclairville, Joshua Hall of Mayville, Emily (Gerald) Kunselman of Panama, and Elizabeth (Corry) Hall of Farmington, NY; good friend Jackie Francis and his dogs Mr. Bixby (Biggs) and Jasper.During the 80’s and 2000’s Jamestown’s circle of musicians, artists and creative people built a network of longtime friends and businesses. Matt enjoyed his role in that and the connections he made with so many of the friends he made in the Jamestown “art scene.He cooked, chefed or did dishes at the former 210 Pine (AKA The Town Club), The Anchor Inn in Lakewood and at Forte where his paintings still hang. He has many friends and acquaintances that have collections of his work. He assisted Mr. Poulin, a local sculptor, with bronze statues that stand in city parks in Jamestown and along the Allegheny River in Warren.Matt loved to camp, hike and fly fish in the Chautauqua gorge and sometimes provided his fresh catch for dinner specials at 210 Pine.Eccentric and intense, Matt constructed elaborate outdoor showers in very interesting places in the city, even hauling a claw foot tub to the rooftop to enjoy a bubble bath under the stars. Sarcastic and satirical, Matt’s dry sardonic humor could truly ignite some conversation and debates, leaving much to mull over for all parties involved and then some. When it came time to repair a piece of equipment, often, a brand-new designed apparatus was invented (one observer noted that Matt “complexified” his projects).Even though Matt got out of the

Top stories Aug 17, 2023 [email protected] Andy Johnson of EcoStrategies, pictured pointing to the map, and John Volpe of Jamestown Cannabis Co., owner, brief Jamestown Planning Commission members Tuesday about a proposed new manufacturing center to be built on undeveloped land located at 1000 Allen St. P-J photo by Christopher J. Blakeslee SHOW ARTICLE --> A local company is proposing a marijuana manufacturing center be built in Jamestown, which in turn could mean big, green bucks for the city.City Planning Commission members on Tuesday heard a briefing for a proposed new cannabis manufacturing center. John Volpe of the Jamestown Cannabis Company and Andy Johnson of EcoStrategies presented to members about a proposed development of the Cannabis Company’s 32-acre undeveloped property located at 1000 Allen St.“We’ve submitted almost all our required permits and paperwork,” Volpe said. “The state Department of Environmental Conservation has signed off and the state Historic Preservation Office sent an archaeologist out to make sure nothing of historic value is on the land — we’re in the clear.”Moreover, the building design must meet strict guidelines as set forth by various other state agencies and departments.“The proposed building will be a 100-by-200-foot pole barn-style building that could be added onto,” Volpe said. “We still have to get approval from the New York State Office of Cannabis Management who regulates this industry. They have very strict criteria which we must meet.”While the Cannabis Company will be located on a vacant lot, not all of the land will be allocated for the manufacturing center, and the community will reap some additional benefits as well.“We’re only using 3 to 5 acres for the actual center,” Volpe said. “There will be zero impact on the environment, and in our first phase of operations, we expect to create about 30 new jobs. During our second phase, another 25 or more jobs will be created.”Moreover, marijuana sales will have no impact for the surrounding residents.“This is a manufacturing site, not a dispensary,” added Volpe. “As a matter of fact, there will not be any semi-truck traffic. Our shipping system requires a van the size of an Amazon Prime Delivery vehicle.”The city Planning Commission will soon vote on the proposed site as soon as the rest of the state requirements are met.

Local News Oct 23, 2024 [email protected] SHOW ARTICLE --> Editor’s note: This is the first of two stories.Michael Bobseine wants Chautauqua County to elect him to the New York State Assembly so it can take advantage of the Democrat-dominated reality of Albany. The Democratic domination disgusts Andrew Molitor. The candidates for the 150th District seat that Andrew Goodell is leaving behind made a very clear distinction about how they would conduct themselves in the state capital, during a debate this month hosted by WRFA Radio in Jamestown with The Post-Journal, OBSERVER and WJTN radio participating.Bobseine, a Fredonia attorney who is a Democrat, name-checked previous local Assembly members who were in the majority such as Pat McGee, Rolland Kidder and Cathy Young. He said they got a lot done for Chautauqua County, and he can, too — repeatedly mentioning his prior experience as a Chautauqua County legislator and Fredonia Board of Education president.Molitor, also a lawyer, is an assistant district attorney who lives in Jamestown. The Republican repeatedly railed against the Democrat-dominated state Legislature.“They’ve passed laws that have been an unmitigated disaster for the state,” he said. “They’ve deconstructed the criminal justice system and made it easier for people to commit crimes. They’ve taxed us in all sorts of ways and made it less affordable for us to live in this state.”Bobseine said later while responding to a question about long term health care concerns, “As a member of the majority, I can be more influential than just simply complaining and raising that issue.”At another point, he declared that Molitor won’t have an effect in the minority, stating that Goodell, a Republican, sponsored 43 bills over the last two years but only “two very minor bills” were adopted.When Bobseine promised to work for adding a landowner exemption to a recently passed wetlands bill, Molitor expressed skepticism that Bobseine would have any influence over that, or any other decisions by the entrenched Democratic supermajority. Bobseine tried to refute that, of course.Molitor called the wetlands law “another example of how the Democratic majority in Albany passed a law (and) they didn’t get any input on how it’s going to affect our communities.” He said a little later, “I think it’s important to have the opposite point of view in state government. One party rule hasn’t done us any favors…it’s just going to strip us of more and more rights and make it harder

Jamestown Jackals’ Emmett Duvall drives to the basket in between a pair of Kitchener-Waterloo Titans defenders during Sunday’s Basketball Super League game at Jamestown Community College’s Physical Education Complex in Jamestown.Photo courtesy of Shelly Phillips SHOW ARTICLE --> A Devante Jamison layup broke a 93-93 tie with 2:09 remaining as the Jamestown Jackals beat the Kitchener-Waterloo Titans 102-95 in the Basketball Super League on Sunday afternoon at Jamestown Community College’s Physical Education Complex.The back-and-forth game featured 14 ties and 21 lead changes before Jamison’s bucket gave the Jackals the lead for good late in the final period.Emmett Duvall led Jamestown (3-2) with 21 points and six rebounds, while Jamison had 17 points and a team-high six assists. Derrick Colter chipped in 17 points and five assists.Kitchener-Waterloo (5-6) was led by Jaquan Lightfoot with 23 points, 14 rebounds and three blocked shots. Samson Akano had 20 points. Dominick Welch, a Cheektowaga product who played collegiately at St. Bonaventure University and the University of Alabama, had 19 points and eight rebounds for the Titans.Kitchener-Waterloo led 28-24 after the first quarter, but the Jackals took a 51-50 lead into halftime thanks to a pair of free throws from Colter with 4 seconds left in the second quarter.The Titans then emerged from the third quarter with a 77-76 lead as Akano sank a pair of free throws with 2 seconds left in that period.The margin never got larger than five in the fourth quarter until Colter sank a pair of free throws with 13 seconds remaining.Neither team had much of an advantage statistically, although Jamestown did shoot 45% from beyond the 3-point arc, turned the ball over just eight times, and outscored Kitchener-Waterloo off the bench 29-10.The Jackals will return to the Physical Education Complex on Friday and Saturday for a pair of games.
