    By Ian BiggsMany homes in Point Chautauqua are worth remembering, this home notwithstanding as it exudes character and charm. Large by any standardswith ve bedrooms and two full baths, the historic home was built bythe family around 1905 and has remained in the same family ever since.

    The Irish Festival will host a variety of music and entertainment, food and fun. New this year is The Town Pants, a Celtic folk rock band fromVancouver, Canada. Were using traditional music, but giving it a backbeat, said Aaron Chapman, one of the six band members, itsrooted in Celtic original stuff but within that, were not afraid to add other cultures.

    BY R EBECCA BLAKESLEE It might have started with a joke, but

    the Bemus Bay Pops Irish Festivalhas become a seriously fun tradition.Held at the oating stage on BemusBay, and dedicated to the memoryof the late Sally Sweeney, this yearsfestival on August 9 will bring back

    many favorite acts and introduce theaudience to a few new ones.I approached Dan [Dalpra] one

    day - and in some ways it was kindof a joke because his restaurant isthe Italian Fisherman - and I said heshould have an Irish festival, saidTara Hughes, the daughter of Claytonand Sally Sweeney. Hughes lives in

    Buffalo, and two of her daughtersattend the Rochez Academy of IrishDance which performs each year atthe festival.

    In the time between starting toplan the festival and the actual event,Hughes mother, Sally Sweeney,passed away and the festival wasdedicated to her memory. That rst

    year, Hughes recalled, ran seamlessly,the day ending with local ddlestudents and their teacher performingon the stage in front of a sunset. Thatwas four years ago, and the festivalhas been running since.

    merican singer Andy Cooney,who plays a mix of Irish musicfrom traditional favorites tocontemporary songs, will oneagain be playing at the festival.The Rochez Irish Dancers andthe regionally based acousticCeltic folk band Ischabaha willperform as well.

    New this year is The TownPants, a Celtic folk rock bandfrom Vancouver, Canada.

    Were using traditional music,but giving it a backbeat, saidAaron Chapman, one of the sixband members, its rooted inCeltic original stuff but withinthat, were not afraid to addother cultures. Besides thetraditional ddles, tin whistles,and mandolin, the group hasalso incorporated the Australiandidgeridoo and African drumsinto their music. And of course,theres the bass and drumsnecessary for that backbeat.

    This music has somethingof an immediate appeal toit, a sense of enjoyment andentertainment, Chapmansaid about the bands style, Alot of music and bands donthave that, because they can beso introspective. This kind of music breaks that.

    The band prides themselves

    on a dynamic stage presence -reviewers toss around wordslike rambunctious and energetic- and they consider the audiencean extra member of the band,Chapman said.

    As far as what the groupwill be playing at the festival,Chapman said he knew theydbe playing pieces from all of their ve albums but besidesthat, it would depend on thecrowd.

    No two shows are the same.I think Ill be as surprised asanyone else, he said. Musicand dance isnt all the festivalhas to offer. Irish inspired foods,like corn beef sandwiches,will be served along witheveryones favorite Irish drinkof Guinness.

    Classic Charm in Point Chautauqua

    Architectural Digest

    The classic ve bedroom home, built at the turn ofhe century, has a warm feeling throughout. The din-ng room (pictured top), like all other rooms in theouse except for the downstairs bathroom, is pan-led in dark pine along with the ceilings and oors.he home (pictured below) has a fantastic wrapround balcony, perfect for summer evenings.

    The large wraparound porch gets a great deal of use in the summer. Watching stormsand enjoying sunsets are common on this part of the house. The living room (pic-tured below) has a cozy feel, what with the rock replace and lodge-like atmosphere.

    BY I AN BIGGS

    Point Chautauqua wascreated by one of Americasmost in uential landscapearchitects, Frederick LawOlmsted, who createdamongst other things CentralPark in New York City andthe Vanderbilts BiltmoreEstate. The community ison the National Register of Historic Places. Its windingroads and full foliage are atestament to the vision of the

    great landscape architect.Many homes in Point

    Chautauqua are worthremembering, this home notwithstanding as it exudescharacter and charm. Largeby any standards with vebedrooms and two full baths,the historic home was built bythe family around 1905 andhas remained in the familyever since. The Hockensmithfamily came to prominencein Pittsburgh through hardwork and dedication. F.

    D. Hockensmith founded acompany that made mine carwheels, and that companythrived for over a century. Itgrew exponentially in the late1800s and over 80,000 minecar wheels had been madeby the company by the early1900s. This afforded F.D. theopportunity to build a summerhome in Point Chautauqua.

    The gorgeous Victorian homesits on prime Point Chautauquareal estate. Many trees wereplanted on the property by myfamily said Jane McCuneWaugh, great granddaughterof F.D. Hockensmith, andcurrent owner (along with herbrother, Craig McCune) of the historic home. The homesits on three plus lots of largewell-maintained lawns withan abundance of trees andhedges. Her family plantedmany trees over the years,including some maple treesthat were relocated onto theproperty.

    This house is really a placeto form memories and Janerecalls spending her childhoodsummers at the home. Allthe sofas would be lled andthere would be people spilledout onto the porch. The largewraparound porch is a perfectplace to enjoy a summersday. The porch is meant tobe a social place, said Jane.She recalls sitting on theporch wrapped in a blanketwatching the amazing summerstorms overhead. Indeedthe porch is large enough tohost a small gathering. Itsa place for people to walk byand come up and visit, shesaid. In addition to the largefront porch, Jane said that,there is a back porch on thehome that is great to sit in yourbathrobe and have coffee inthe morning.

    The interior of the home istrue lake cottage. Dense darkpinewood covers the oorsceiling and walls; there isa lot of attention to detailthroughout the home. A largebrick replace dominates theliving room and is perfect for

    those cool summer evenings.Jane recalls curling up andsleeping next to the cozy reas a child.

    The downstairs of the homeis comfortable and warm infeeling. Though the homerequires some updating, but itis full of character and charmand its upkeep is something tobehold. The family has takengreat care in preserving theoriginal home and maintainingit.Many features are original tothe home including operablekerosene or oil burning glasslanterns on the walls, Janesaid. The many bedrooms are

    ideal for friends and familyto come and stay, but smallgatherings feel just as intimateas large ones.

    The lake is only about a ve minute walk away, Janesaid. Though walking backis a bit uphill and alwaystakes a bit longer at theend of the day The PointChautauqua residents arepart of an association whichallows access to the beach anddocking facilities. In additionto the main house, a separatethough attached wash houseis included. Its always beenknown as the wash house,from when it housed an old-

    style wringer washer; theoriginal ice box is still there!said Jane. If new owners werelooking to expand, they couldcertainly use it for a variety of uses. A two plus car garage isseparate from the house with asecond oor above that Janesbrother used to use as a clubhouse when he was a child.This grand old home wouldbe the perfect place to start anew family legacy, such as theHockensmith family has donefor over a century. The homeis listed through Diana Holt of

    Howard Hanna Holt. Dianacan be contacted at 716-269-4210.

    BY L INDA YATES

    This is my garden rant today.fter spending many hours in

    the garden this morning, Ivedecided that the garden is aninvestment. And just as someinvestments are worthy thereare also some that just are not,like a bad love affair. But weput so much time into thething that we hate to give upon it. For instance, why do weput up with plants that continueo torture us; like gooseneckoosestrife? Yes, it is attractive

    and they look like a gaggle of geese, but really now! If youurn your back on them theyake over the world. In my

    case I had to yank out threeheelbarrow loads. They were

    four feet tall but all lying downfrom the wild rains weve beenaving. And there are more! I

    kind of thought that they wouldold up the other tall plants and

    possibly look good en-masse.bad investment. And my

    own compost piles are growingarger and larger.

    The other bad actor ishe Jerusalem artichoke, oreliantuus, which is a wild, tall

    but small sun ower. Heres myistake. I originally planted at

    east six clumps of them backhere tall belongs, but oh my

    goodness, they grow ten feetall and spread like wild re.nd they were fun for a while.used to enjoy hiding in their

    and its fun to feel dwarfed by agarden. I like that! But enoughs enough! Now Im rippinghem out so the store bought

    plants can survive. And Iveoutgrown my crazy sunshine

    ild child garden in exchangefor a bit of sophistication.

    Its not a meadow after all andhe look is now more botanical

    park-ish. Some balance

    and symmetry and a bit of organization. Most everythingthat Ive planted has gonebezerk. Like bee balm (alsoknown as nomarda, oswego teaor bergamot) and phlox, whichunfortunately almost alwaysgets mildewy. One year I tookout all the white ones and now Imiss that cloud effect that theyhad created. But the only goodwhite phlox are David andMiss Lingard.

    Another invasive is pinkanemone robustissimus, thename says it all! Its tall andvery vigorous. Another rampantis the rudbeckias. I enjoy thepink cones but black eyedsusan cannot stay in my beds!She clashes badly with the tigerlily henrii. Those tall orangelilies with burgundy spots area clear orange and the yellowy-orange of the black eyed susans

    just does not go. So whenwe invest in garden plants,remember that you get whatyou pay for. A lot of freebiesusually means rampant. Like

    the pink perennial geraniums. Iwas given some once and cantget rid of them now. Somehowthe costly plants dont usuallymultiply so well. Thats theway love goes. Sometimes wefeel weve invested time withplants but why do we put upwith it?

    We just dont always havea heart to pull something outthats been there since thebeginning of time. I know, Ido it too. Wait until its doneblooming, or use them forbouquets. You can barelymove an old stand of day liliesanyway. They come backforever even if you try. Luckilyhe fruit of the labor outweighsthe mistakes and better to havelove and lost than never to havea garden at all.
