Event Details
There is perhaps no better way to see Buffalo and grasp what it is about than a tour on the Open-Air Autobus of The Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, architecture & Culture. 2018 is its 12th season. It is the best way to get around and see, hear, and smell Buffalo (ahh, toasted oats, chicken wings, charcoal-grilled hot dogs!).
The Campaign’s Open-Air Autobus tours are fundraisers for the group’s wide-ranging preservation work, and are built on 30 years’ worth of architectural and historical research in the course of preservation activities. The tours reflect its character: Passionate, lively, and knowledgeable.
By doing a tour, you are doing good: The Campaign is a charitable organization chartered by the New York State Dept. of Education, and revenues are plowed directly back into local historic preservation. The Campaign’s tours are popular, informative, well-done. We are the go-to organization for the general public and experts alike.
The Campaign’s signature tour is The Buffalo Whirlwind Tour. Besides the fun of traveling in the open air, you’ll see scores of beautiful buildings and houses by prominent national and international architects and the streets and neighborhoods. The tour starts with the foundation of modern Buffalo, and modern urban America: The building and grounds of what was the Buffalo State Hospital, designed by H.H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted, conceived in 1870. We end with the Heath House by Frank Lloyd Wright of 1904. In between, you’ll see world-altering industrial architecture, the preening mansions of Delaware Avenue, and the prototype for the skyscraper, Sullivan’s Guaranty Building.
It is all put in context for you, as the markers of Buffalo’s progress through the years are pointed out:
• Kleinhans Music Hall
• First Presbyterian Church
• Ellicott Square by Daniel
Burnham & Co.
• St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral by Richard Upjohn
• The Canal District
• Niagara & Lafayette squares
• Millionaires’ Row
• Allentown Historic District
• Delaware Historic District
• City Hall and Old County Hall
• Theater Historic District
• Bidwell, Chapin, Lincoln parkways
The Whirlwind tour is an astounding 90-minute tour of a great American city, given by passionate experts and participants in the great preservation issues of the day.

Two of the plays, THE CREATION and WAY BACK WHEN, were written by Golden. The other, IN THE BEGINNING, was the brainchild of the late Rebecca Ritchie, a dear friend of Golden and his wife, Deborah Goldman. It was written in the 1990’s, and was published in FACING FORWARD, an anthology of short plays and monologues by women playwrights, in 1995. This was its first Buffalo production.

Tzedakah: Food Gnomes Collecting Canned Goods, Personal Products
Food Gnomes is a Mobile Food pantry serving the Greater Buffalo Area. It is a joint effort between the Jewish Community and members of the United Church of Christ at Pilgrim St. Luke’s. They work together with community members, people of faith, social workers, and students to bring food to the hungry. Food Gnomes steps in where traditional food pantries fail. While traditional food pantries often require residency within a certain zip code, and request/require documentation of financial need, and often require identification (which not everyone has) Food Gnomes operates on a simple one-question format “are you hungry?”
If the answer is “yes,” then Food Gnomes provides food & hygiene products, no questions asked. It does not raise money, and is entirely volunteer-driven. The group relies on the donation of the goods that volunteers then drive out to deliver in the community. PLEASE BRING a can or two (or a box or two) of non-perishable, and in-date (so it cannot be expired) canned or boxed goods to the Jewbilee! For more information, contact Matthew Schwartz at matt@themattschwartz.net .

Event Details
The National Safety Council is partnering with BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York and other Western New York funders to bring the Council’s opioid memorial to the Canalside Honda Pavilion, 47 Prime St., Buffalo, NY 14202, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 20-26. “Prescribed to Death: A Memorial to the Victims of the Opioid Crisis” puts a face on the worst drug crisis in recorded United States history, personalizing an issue that was declared a public health emergency last fall. Admission to the memorial is free.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is a wall of 22,000 engraved white pills – each representing the face of someone lost to a prescription opioid overdose in 2015. Buffalo resident Avi Israel – who founded Save the Michaels of the World after losing his son, Michael – lent his son’s personal effects to the National Safety Council to display as part of the exhibit. Visitors enter a small remembrance room where Mr. Israel shares Michael’s story in a short video.
The memorial is accompanied by resources that help visitors both safely dispose of unused pills in their homes and facilitate discussions with prescribers about alternatives. Visitors receive first-of-their-kind Opioid: Warn Me labels to affix to their insurance cards, empowering them to discuss with prescribers the risks of taking opioids and whether other pain relief options are available. The Council has partnered with Stericycle – a Chicago-based waste disposal company – to provide pre-paid mail envelopes to help visitors easily get rid of unused medications.
Individuals who have lost loved ones to opioid overdose will have the opportunity to honor them at Canalside. Guests can add their loved one’s name to a digital memorial provided by the National Safety Council, or remember them by sharing photos, flowers or personal effects on site. Please note, items will not be returned.
The exhibit is underwritten by contributions from BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, Save the Michaels of the World, Stericycle, DiVal Safety & Supplies, The John R. Oishei Foundation, First Niagara Foundation, Addiction Open Access Hotline and Schneider National.

Event Details
The National Safety Council is partnering with BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York and other Western New York funders to bring the Council’s opioid memorial to the Canalside Honda Pavilion, 47 Prime St., Buffalo, NY 14202, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 20-26. “Prescribed to Death: A Memorial to the Victims of the Opioid Crisis” puts a face on the worst drug crisis in recorded United States history, personalizing an issue that was declared a public health emergency last fall. Admission to the memorial is free.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is a wall of 22,000 engraved white pills – each representing the face of someone lost to a prescription opioid overdose in 2015. Buffalo resident Avi Israel – who founded Save the Michaels of the World after losing his son, Michael – lent his son’s personal effects to the National Safety Council to display as part of the exhibit. Visitors enter a small remembrance room where Mr. Israel shares Michael’s story in a short video.
The memorial is accompanied by resources that help visitors both safely dispose of unused pills in their homes and facilitate discussions with prescribers about alternatives. Visitors receive first-of-their-kind Opioid: Warn Me labels to affix to their insurance cards, empowering them to discuss with prescribers the risks of taking opioids and whether other pain relief options are available. The Council has partnered with Stericycle – a Chicago-based waste disposal company – to provide pre-paid mail envelopes to help visitors easily get rid of unused medications.
Individuals who have lost loved ones to opioid overdose will have the opportunity to honor them at Canalside. Guests can add their loved one’s name to a digital memorial provided by the National Safety Council, or remember them by sharing photos, flowers or personal effects on site. Please note, items will not be returned.
The exhibit is underwritten by contributions from BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, Save the Michaels of the World, Stericycle, DiVal Safety & Supplies, The John R. Oishei Foundation, First Niagara Foundation, Addiction Open Access Hotline and Schneider National.

Tuesdays this summer bring special hours and a farm-to-table pop-up restaurant to the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. The Botanical Gardens will be open on Tuesdays from 12:00pm to 9:00pm July 10 through August 14 to host Tasting Tuesdays which will take place from 4:00pm to 8:30pm. The Botanical Gardens is extremely beautiful in the evening, and organizers want to give the community an opportunity to experience it.
During Tasting Tuesdays, a small bar and pop-up restaurant will open inside the Botanical Gardens for a casual farm-to-table experience where guests can enjoy fresh imaginative small plates and creative herbaceous drinks from chef Avi Altman of Obviously Avi Catering. The restaurant and bar will be open from 4:00pm to 8:30pm. The bar will offer guests the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine or a craft beer and take a self-guided tour of the Botanical Gardens as the sun sets. At the restaurant, a host will seat guests for sit down meals. Tables will be located among the tropical surroundings and outside (weather dependent) for guests to relax and enjoy delicious savory dishes and sweet treats. Tasting Tuesdays are a great date night or an evening out to relax with family. The food is approachable, fresh, and local.
The Botanical Gardens is partnering with Obviously Avi Catering for Tasting Tuesdays because Avi is an extremely creative chef that is passionate about the farm-to-table experience. Avi has been a partner of the Botanical Gardens for over eight years and is very thoughtful about creating an experience for visitors that incorporates the tropical surroundings, with an amazing selection of locally grown food, brewed beer and crafted wines. Avi’s commitment to the Botanical Gardens, sourcing ingredients locally, and providing great food is infectious. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet Avi and share in his enthusiasm at Tasting Tuesdays.
A standard menu will be available for sit down meals and specials will be offered weekly, depending on what fresh and local ingredients are available. Dishes, drinks, beer and wine will be priced individually and will be available from 4:00pm to 8:30pm on Tasting Tuesdays.

🙏🏻 Sessions are 20 minutes to one hour Sessions can be had every day if needed; however, no more than
1 hour of treatment is recommended in a single day.
Initially, sessions are of 45 minutes duration for a person in average health, a less intense time of 20-40 minutes for those who are ill or weak.
Once comfortable with the sessions, then the sessions can be extended. This allows the individual to become accustomed to the effects of the “Crystal Bed Healing.”
🙏🏻 How often should “Crystal Bed Healing” be had?
The number of sessions someone has depends on the individual’s level of health and their reason for having “Crystal Bed Healing” Sessions.
If someone is very ill, then sessions can be as many as 2-3 times per week until their level of health increases, then reducing the frequency to weekly and then to monthly.
If an individual is having Crystal Bed Healing Sessions for a spiritual reason, then 1-2 sessions weekly are adequate.
Still others prefer to come when they feel the need, and others come once a month as preventive or to help them stay “tuned up.”

Adult & Child Session – Make A Classic Game
An Afternoon Session in the WoodShop
TWO GAME PANELS, TWO PEOPLE
Thursday 8/30, 5:00 – 8:30 pm
Working together you’ll build a set of classic corn hole game boards while learning basic woodworking techniques — using different saws, drills, and assembly methods. The project is just right for an adult and child team – it combines the use of power tools and hand tools to complete (one participant might be between 10-16 and the other might be old enough to look back yet under 100). Because these game elements must be built to regulation, we will guide the group through measuring boards to meet those specific dimensions. Each pair of participants will build and take home two completed boards – perfect for some outdoor summer-into-fall fun!
This class will cover:
Reading plans
Project layout and measurement
Using different blades and cutting tools
Different types of joinery
Scraping and Sanding
Discussion of finishing and painting wood
Class Size: Min 2 pairs/Max 4 pairs

Starting Thursday, June 14, Jony James Band will take on a Thursday night residency at Lucky Day Whiskey Bar. Come knock a few old fashioneds back and listen to one of our favorite blues bands.
About Jony James Band:
Jony James is overflowing with soul. It drips down from his hands onto his guitar, in lyrically urgent bends and intense ethereal assaults. It pours out through his weathered, leathery voice, telling vivid, open-minded tales of a tumultuous life. His jovial, yet pensive nature is evident in both his music and stage presence.
Born in Buffalo, New York, Jony was raised in Chicago, which was full of Blues, Motown and Soul influences. B.B. King, Albert King, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy and Jimi Hendrix, were among those influences and are evident in his playing.
By the age of 17, Jony was playing Blues Clubs on the south side of Chicago, with local Blues legends such as Eddie Taylor, Willie Williams and J B Hutto, among others. After touring with Hutto and chasing Hendrix to Europe, Jony settled in Canada, playing with the Native American “Roadhouse Band from Six Nations” and finally the Matt Minglewood Band from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
In the 90’s, Jony returned to Buffalo and began playing and writing his own material. After independently producing and releasing three albums of original music, Blue Wave Records signed Jony and released “In This World” to international acclaim.
The second Blue Wave release titled, “What About Tomorrow”, is currently available and has got some heavyweights in the Blues Industry very excited. To experience original “Survival Blues”, you must listen to the Jony James Blues Band.

Event Details
The National Safety Council is partnering with BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York and other Western New York funders to bring the Council’s opioid memorial to the Canalside Honda Pavilion, 47 Prime St., Buffalo, NY 14202, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 20-26. “Prescribed to Death: A Memorial to the Victims of the Opioid Crisis” puts a face on the worst drug crisis in recorded United States history, personalizing an issue that was declared a public health emergency last fall. Admission to the memorial is free.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is a wall of 22,000 engraved white pills – each representing the face of someone lost to a prescription opioid overdose in 2015. Buffalo resident Avi Israel – who founded Save the Michaels of the World after losing his son, Michael – lent his son’s personal effects to the National Safety Council to display as part of the exhibit. Visitors enter a small remembrance room where Mr. Israel shares Michael’s story in a short video.
The memorial is accompanied by resources that help visitors both safely dispose of unused pills in their homes and facilitate discussions with prescribers about alternatives. Visitors receive first-of-their-kind Opioid: Warn Me labels to affix to their insurance cards, empowering them to discuss with prescribers the risks of taking opioids and whether other pain relief options are available. The Council has partnered with Stericycle – a Chicago-based waste disposal company – to provide pre-paid mail envelopes to help visitors easily get rid of unused medications.
Individuals who have lost loved ones to opioid overdose will have the opportunity to honor them at Canalside. Guests can add their loved one’s name to a digital memorial provided by the National Safety Council, or remember them by sharing photos, flowers or personal effects on site. Please note, items will not be returned.
The exhibit is underwritten by contributions from BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, Save the Michaels of the World, Stericycle, DiVal Safety & Supplies, The John R. Oishei Foundation, First Niagara Foundation, Addiction Open Access Hotline and Schneider National.

Event Details
There is perhaps no better way to see Buffalo and grasp what it is about than a tour on the Open-Air Autobus of The Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, architecture & Culture. 2018 is its 12th season. It is the best way to get around and see, hear, and smell Buffalo (ahh, toasted oats, chicken wings, charcoal-grilled hot dogs!).
The Campaign’s Open-Air Autobus tours are fundraisers for the group’s wide-ranging preservation work, and are built on 30 years’ worth of architectural and historical research in the course of preservation activities. The tours reflect its character: Passionate, lively, and knowledgeable.
By doing a tour, you are doing good: The Campaign is a charitable organization chartered by the New York State Dept. of Education, and revenues are plowed directly back into local historic preservation. The Campaign’s tours are popular, informative, well-done. We are the go-to organization for the general public and experts alike.
The Campaign’s signature tour is The Buffalo Whirlwind Tour. Besides the fun of traveling in the open air, you’ll see scores of beautiful buildings and houses by prominent national and international architects and the streets and neighborhoods. The tour starts with the foundation of modern Buffalo, and modern urban America: The building and grounds of what was the Buffalo State Hospital, designed by H.H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted, conceived in 1870. We end with the Heath House by Frank Lloyd Wright of 1904. In between, you’ll see world-altering industrial architecture, the preening mansions of Delaware Avenue, and the prototype for the skyscraper, Sullivan’s Guaranty Building.
It is all put in context for you, as the markers of Buffalo’s progress through the years are pointed out:
• Kleinhans Music Hall
• First Presbyterian Church
• Ellicott Square by Daniel
Burnham & Co.
• St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral by Richard Upjohn
• The Canal District
• Niagara & Lafayette squares
• Millionaires’ Row
• Allentown Historic District
• Delaware Historic District
• City Hall and Old County Hall
• Theater Historic District
• Bidwell, Chapin, Lincoln parkways
The Whirlwind tour is an astounding 90-minute tour of a great American city, given by passionate experts and participants in the great preservation issues of the day.

Program:
“Simeron genvatai ek Parthenou” – Traditional (Byzantine/Greek Orthodox)
“Akav Birhateha” – Isaac Varon (Maftirim tradition, Turkey)
“Planino Pirin” – Traditional (Pirin-Macedonia, Bulgaria)
“Ekleipsis” – Archilochus, trans. Conrad Steinmann (c. 650 BCE, Greece)
“Sitot me soi” – Folquet do Marseille (late 1100s, France)
“Ya walidata-l-ilah” – Traditional (Melchite sacred chant, Syria)
“O Oriens” – Traditional (Plainchant)
“Close Thine Eyes” – Henry Purcell (1688, England)
“Oculus non vidit” – Orlando di Lasso (1577, Belgium)
“Arsala ‘ilah” – Traditional (Maronite tradition, Syria)
The theme of this year’s concert is “As Above, So Below,” with an emphasis on music that describes celestial bodies and astronomical phenomena. From an ancient Greek song responding to a solar eclipse, to a plainchant honoring the morning star, to religious pieces glorifying heaven’s abundance, these works showcase humanity’s fascination with the sky, both sacred and secular. The maxim “As Above, So Below” invokes the Hermetic tradition, in which investigation into the nature of the universe was both scientific and religious, with alchemy, astronomy, and theurgy intertwined. According to this tradition, music was seen as a reflection of the heavens, and the phenomena of acoustics were as important as the aesthetics of melody. Taking these ideas as inspiration, the duo thoroughly investigates the acoustic properties of the music they perform and the spaces they perform within, as well as the interactions between vocal and instrumental vibrations and timbres. They bridge sacred and secular, ancient and modern, with a concert of music that “looks up” to the cosmos from within the post-industrial cathedral of Silo City.
Senso di Voce explores relationships among the early music of varied but historically linked geographical regions, as well as the connection between these sonic worlds and contemporary musical sounds and spaces. The composed pieces performed on the concert are linked with structured improvisations, while the acoustic properties of the silos themselves act as a third instrument. The duo moves through the space throughout the performance, finding different reflective positions in the venue and forming ever-changing antiphonal relationships. The result is an immersive musical and spatial experience that illuminates and recontextualizes the spiritual and meditative repertoire performed.

Peach Mag Presents: Season 2 Yearbook Launch Party
featuring readings by local and visiting writers & artwork by Joel Brenden
Saturday, Aug. 25 / doors 7, readings 7:30 / Resurgence Brewing Company / Facebook
Buffalo-based literary magazine Peach Mag will celebrate the end of its sophomore season with the launch of Peach Mag: Season 2 Yearbook — a locally designed, in-print anthology that features the work of a star-studded selection of Season 2 contributing writers and artists — with a night of readings and art at Resurgence on Saturday, August 25th.
Helping the editorial team celebrate will be a lineup of readings by local favorites — Dan McKeon, Janet McNally, Marina Blitshteyn, and Meghann Boltz — as well as by many visiting writers — Alex Manley, Edward Mullany, Erika Walsh, and Liz Bowen — who will be coming in from cities such as New York and Montreal. The night will also feature the artwork of local artist, book arts designer, and publisher of Linoleum Press, Joel Brenden.
Peach Mag was founded in the summer of 2016 by three friends who wanted to establish a literary community for young and emerging writers. In the two years since its launch, the magazine has grown from a Buffalo-based literary blog to a publishing outlet with a national reach. Peach Mag still publishes a new creative writing or visual art feature online at their website every Tuesday and Friday, but now also hosts Episodes, a seasonal reading series that brings some of the most exciting contemporary American and Canadian writers to Buffalo, sponsors The Peach Gold, an annual poetry award judged by icons of the American poetry scene — this year’s judge for its inaugural prize was Morgan Parker — and writes a column of literary news and micro-reviews for Buffalo’s beloved altweekly, The Public. The magazine has also announced a move into print with the release of a couple upcoming books — most notably, the anthology inspired by the #MeToo movement, With You: An Anthology of Withdrawn Poetry — and has teased even more publishing projects in the seasons to come.

Event Details
There is perhaps no better way to see Buffalo and grasp what it is about than a tour on the Open-Air Autobus of The Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, architecture & Culture. 2018 is its 12th season. It is the best way to get around and see, hear, and smell Buffalo (ahh, toasted oats, chicken wings, charcoal-grilled hot dogs!).
The Campaign’s Open-Air Autobus tours are fundraisers for the group’s wide-ranging preservation work, and are built on 30 years’ worth of architectural and historical research in the course of preservation activities. The tours reflect its character: Passionate, lively, and knowledgeable.
By doing a tour, you are doing good: The Campaign is a charitable organization chartered by the New York State Dept. of Education, and revenues are plowed directly back into local historic preservation. The Campaign’s tours are popular, informative, well-done. We are the go-to organization for the general public and experts alike.
The Campaign’s signature tour is The Buffalo Whirlwind Tour. Besides the fun of traveling in the open air, you’ll see scores of beautiful buildings and houses by prominent national and international architects and the streets and neighborhoods. The tour starts with the foundation of modern Buffalo, and modern urban America: The building and grounds of what was the Buffalo State Hospital, designed by H.H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted, conceived in 1870. We end with the Heath House by Frank Lloyd Wright of 1904. In between, you’ll see world-altering industrial architecture, the preening mansions of Delaware Avenue, and the prototype for the skyscraper, Sullivan’s Guaranty Building.
It is all put in context for you, as the markers of Buffalo’s progress through the years are pointed out:
• Kleinhans Music Hall
• First Presbyterian Church
• Ellicott Square by Daniel
Burnham & Co.
• St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral by Richard Upjohn
• The Canal District
• Niagara & Lafayette squares
• Millionaires’ Row
• Allentown Historic District
• Delaware Historic District
• City Hall and Old County Hall
• Theater Historic District
• Bidwell, Chapin, Lincoln parkways
The Whirlwind tour is an astounding 90-minute tour of a great American city, given by passionate experts and participants in the great preservation issues of the day.

Event Details
The National Safety Council is partnering with BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York and other Western New York funders to bring the Council’s opioid memorial to the Canalside Honda Pavilion, 47 Prime St., Buffalo, NY 14202, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Aug. 20-26. “Prescribed to Death: A Memorial to the Victims of the Opioid Crisis” puts a face on the worst drug crisis in recorded United States history, personalizing an issue that was declared a public health emergency last fall. Admission to the memorial is free.
The centerpiece of the exhibit is a wall of 22,000 engraved white pills – each representing the face of someone lost to a prescription opioid overdose in 2015. Buffalo resident Avi Israel – who founded Save the Michaels of the World after losing his son, Michael – lent his son’s personal effects to the National Safety Council to display as part of the exhibit. Visitors enter a small remembrance room where Mr. Israel shares Michael’s story in a short video.
The memorial is accompanied by resources that help visitors both safely dispose of unused pills in their homes and facilitate discussions with prescribers about alternatives. Visitors receive first-of-their-kind Opioid: Warn Me labels to affix to their insurance cards, empowering them to discuss with prescribers the risks of taking opioids and whether other pain relief options are available. The Council has partnered with Stericycle – a Chicago-based waste disposal company – to provide pre-paid mail envelopes to help visitors easily get rid of unused medications.
Individuals who have lost loved ones to opioid overdose will have the opportunity to honor them at Canalside. Guests can add their loved one’s name to a digital memorial provided by the National Safety Council, or remember them by sharing photos, flowers or personal effects on site. Please note, items will not be returned.
The exhibit is underwritten by contributions from BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York, Save the Michaels of the World, Stericycle, DiVal Safety & Supplies, The John R. Oishei Foundation, First Niagara Foundation, Addiction Open Access Hotline and Schneider National.

Introverts, Extroverts Workshop for Kids & Parents
Details:
This class, for children and early teens, ages 8 to 14, and their parent(s), will introduce your youngster to his or her temperament—an innate part of who s/he is—as a way to nurture him or herself and have a clearer awareness of others’ behavior.
From the time we’re born, temperament influences so much including:
· how we use and refuel our individual energy,
· how we process our thoughts, and
· how we interact with people.
Whether your child is more an introvert or extrovert, s/he will benefit from learning about introvert/extrovert traits, how to recognize and meet innate energy needs, and how to honor the way s/he and others process information. Workshop will include tips for home and school.
Parents will better understand their own temperament, as well as their family’s various energy needs.
This workshop will encourage greater self-acceptance; strengthen self-management skills, as well as provide tools to introverts and extroverts for greater harmony with others.
Class: Parents: $25. Each child: $5.
