SUNY Jamestown Community College's full-service health and fitness center.
JAMESTOWN — Located in the Physical Education Complex, a pre-pandemic Jamestown community benefited from access to SUNY Jamestown Community College's full-service health and fitness center.
Called SUNY JCC Total Fitness, the program was closed in March 2020, in adherence to the SUNY and New York State COVID-19 mandate. Membership fees were refunded, as no one could predict an end to the pandemic, or the moment when it might be feasible to reopen the facility.
During the closure, the facility was home to community vaccination clinics conducted by Chautauqua County Department of Health. Though it was still functional in a sense, the day-to-day operations of the Complex suffered in the face of the shutdown.
As the state began to open doors in regulated phases, fitness facilities were among the last to receive the green light. Due to strict health protocols, facilities within the SUNY system remained closed. A phased reopening began for the JCC community late in 2021, as vaccination rates on campus were high, and infection rates low.
Two-and-a-half years after the initial shut down, community members consistently ask when they might again have access to amenities such as pool, track, racquetball court, and gym with weight machines, free weights, nautilus-style equipment and cardio machines.
"It is our primary objective to provide the community with a convenient and quality facility to improve their health and wellness, while remaining competitive in the public fitness market," shares Steve Riczker, newly-hired executive director of the Faculty Student Association for JCC.
The college understands the communities need to have the fitness center open, and has missed the interaction Total Fitness made possible. In taking over as director, Riczker has assessed the best way to move forward is through a phased strategy that includes updates to the space.
Currently in the first phase of the plan, Total Fitness is open for JCC faculty, staff, and students, with limited hours. The pool will be open for public parties and other rentals. This phase also includes exploring improvements to the facility.
The second phase, slated for mid-to-late October, aims for reopening the facility to the public with new membership opportunities. Improvement plans will continue, with aims to explore funding for upgraded equipment included at this stage.
"We want Total Fitness to be worthy of the members who have been waiting for its doors to reopen," Riczker said. "We are starting out with student workers, so we will prioritize our operating hours for high-traffic times, and we do hope to welcome the community back to the center in the fall."
Riczker further explained that once staffing for the center is solidified, a rollout plan for public memberships will be shared. In the coming weeks, information will be made available through jccjayhawks.com/information/total-fitness.
Please help local businesses by taking an online survey to help us navigate through these unprecedented times. None of the responses will be shared or used for any other purpose except to better serve our community. The survey is at: www.pulsepoll.com $1,000 is being awarded. Everyone completing the survey will be able to enter a contest to Win as our way of saying, "Thank You" for your time. Thank You!

As a result of Ann Arbor city council action taken at its Dec. 2, 2013 meeting, city administrator Steve Powers has been appointed to serve for the next year on the board of the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority.
The state enabling statute allows for either the mayor or the city administrator to serve on the board of a DDA. Mayor John Hieftje has served that role for his 13-year tenure as mayor.
However, discussion had occurred throughout the council's recent consideration of the city's DDA ordinance about the possibility of appointing the city administrator instead of Hieftje to serve in the statutory slot on the DDA board. Hieftje has announced that he's not seeking re-election as mayor in 2014.

Robert G. and Barbara Ann Harmon Collection on Lake Tahoe
Identifier: 2017-70
Collection contains materials collected by Robert Harmon about Lake Tahoe including materials from his grandmother, Edith Jewell who owned Jewell Heights, a resort at Bijou, Lake Tahoe, California. Stationary and miniatures included were on display in the gift shop at the resort. The 1892 travel description of Lake Tahoe was written by Laura Brown, who was the daughter of the pioneer Charles Brown of the Brown-Damonte Ranch as well as the aunt of the donor.
1892-circa 1965
Harmon, Robert Grant (Creator, Person)
Robert G. Harmon was the grandson of J. E. and Edith Jewell, who ran Jewell Heights, a resort at Bijou, Lake Tahoe, California, in the early 1920s through the 1940s. Edith also served as the postmistress at Tallac, California before moving to Reno in 1922. Harmon was also the nephew of Laura Brown, who wrote the 1892 boat travel description of Lake Tahoe. Brown was the daughter of pioneer Charles Brown of the Brown-Damonte Ranch and the sister of Charles "Charlie" Peleg Brown who attended the University of Nevada, Reno and taught in the Mackay School of Mines.

New Laser Technology Is Set to Make Going to the Dentist a Lot Less Miserable
Lisa Fields
Get a sneak peek at the new treatments that should make a trip to the dentist a lot better.
SaMBa/ShutterstockDorothy Sanford doesn't mind so much when her dentist says that she has a cavity, because there's no Novocaine injection or uncomfortable drilling in her future. Instead, Sanford's dentist uses a laser to painlessly remove decay and bond filling to her tooth. The cutting-edge procedure has made traditional fillings a faint, unpleasant memory for the 77-year-old Florida resident.
"It's like night and day, compared to the old experience," Sanford says. "There's no discomfort, and you're done before you know it. I think it's the wave of the future."
Dentists and researchers worldwide are striving to make minimally invasive dental procedures like this widely available. "We really hope we can change the dynamic for many patients, in terms of coming to the dentist," says Nigel Pitts, director of King's College London's Dental Innovation and Translation Centre. "The more we can do to take away injections and drills, the easier it is to fight the Victorian image of a torture chamber."
Within a few years, your dentist may offer treatments like these:
Painless cavity treatments
Some patients have cavities treated by laser, like Sanford, but this isn't widely available yet. Lasers cost 30,000 euros, and dentists need special training. (These are the 13 things your dentist secretly wants you to know.)
"Not more than 5 to 10 percent of dentists across Europe use lasers for cavity preparation," says Andreas Moritz, president of the International Society for Oral Laser Applications. But this is changing. "The younger generation of dentists is coming up, and they feel convinced that this is a real benefit."
Ninety percent of patients who've had cavities filled by drill and laser prefer lasers. Dentists prefer them, too; they provide greater precision.
"The surface of the tooth drilled by laser is better than a conventionally etched cavity," says Moritz, who is also dean of the Medical University of Vienna's dentistry clinic. "You create a perfect surface for bonding without destroying structures within the tooth."
Another minimally invasive treatment, which could reach patients within three years, is electrically accelerated and enhanced remineralization. Instead of drilling away decay, the procedure uses electrical current to painlessly "push" minerals into the tooth, which repairs damage, reversing decay without the need for fillings. Says Nigel Pitts, "We're putting back in the exact same minerals that came out, calcium and phosphate. We accelerate what nature does to rebuild that natural tooth enamel."
Healthier root canals
During traditional root canals, diseased pulp is surgically removed and an artificial substance is inserted. But researchers believe that they can get pulp to regenerate with stem cell injections. Such treatment is a decade away.
"We fill the root canal system with stem cells, usually carried by some kind of scaffolding materials," says George Huang, director of bioscience research at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center. "What we learned from larger animal studies is the pulp tissue will regenerate in a matter of a few months. The tooth is going back to the original normal state with minimal filling on it."
Lasers can also aid root-canal treatments. "The wavelength of the laser beam is going into the root canal and killing the bacteria there," Moritz says. "No irrigant is able to reach this bacteria inside the root, but due to the physical properties of light, it's killing bacteria in the depths of the teeth."
Strengthening implant infrastructure
Dental implants have become popular in the past decade, outpacing dentures. Researchers are working to help implants stay better-anchored to the jaw.
"New materials to prevent bone resorption and/or to augment missing bone will be the focus of the industry," says Christian Berger, president of the European Association of Dental Implantologists in Bonn, Germany.
Nanotechnology is one possible solution. Researchers at UCLA have found that nanodiamond particles (tiny diamond bits that are imperceptible to the naked eye) can improve bone growth around implants. They may be introduced by injection or oral rinse, rather than surgery.
Occasionally, dentists use 3D printer technology to create custom implants. This may become a trend in the future. "3D printer technology might play a role," Berger says, "but superior materials have to be invented which allow us to produce the complete restoration by 3D printing."
Sometimes, extraction is necessary before implantation. Extraction will remain the same, but lasers may improve healing. "When you do the irrigation of the wound with lasers, then it's a very good healing, because you have an activation of the root healing," Moritz says.
Stem cell researchers are working to regenerate teeth, which could be used for implants.
"For regenerating the whole tooth, one approach is to implant a bioengineered tooth bud—transplant it in the mouth and have it erupt through the gum," Huang says. "The other possibility is to let the bioengineered tooth bud grow into a whole tooth elsewhere and then implant it into the jaw."
Reducing TMJ pain
Some people who clench their teeth develop TMJ, which causes jaw pain and headaches. Patients often seek help from dentists. (These are the 7 signs of disease your teeth can reveal.)
Researchers use Botox injections (which cause temporary paralysis) to immobilize problematic muscles. Only a handful of patients have received this treatment, but more could see Botox-inspired relief over time. "So far it's only used for extreme cases," says Jukka Meurman, president-elect of the International & American Associations for Dental Research. "My colleagues are quite optimistic that it really helps."
Lasers may improve TMJ pain, by removing tissue that causes discomfort. Doctors, more likely than dentists, would perform such a procedure, Moritz says.
Avoiding dental work
Although dental procedures are becoming kinder and gentler, it's best to avoid the dentist's chair (besides checkups) whenever possible. Good oral hygiene can help.
"All dental diseases can be easily prevented," says Meurman, head physician at Helsinki University Hospital's department of oral and maxillofacial diseases. "You brush your teeth, you floss your teeth, you eat sensibly, you won't get these diseases. If you forget brushing your teeth, you get the dental diseases."
