arts & entertainment MARY AND EARNST BEHREND HARRY KELLAR Erie Hall of Fame the people who made the town What is it that you are most proud of? Is it your home and all the stuff you stuff in it? Or is it the people that you include in your life? My guess is it’s the people. THAT SAME QUESTION can be asked about where we live. We all love our rolling hills, sheltered bay and endless miles of open water, but the thing that makes Erie Eriesistable isn’t just the scenery, it’s the Erieite in front of the scenery. Think about the woman who loves to order ox-roast, or the guy who dumps french fries on his chicken/steak salad, or all of those folks who call it “the GE” — these are the people who make our hometown special. And that sentiment is, in a nutshell, the mission of the Erie Hall of Fame; to honor the people who’ve shared their Erieness with the world. What kind of “Erieness”did we share? We shared big stuff like building the first railroad bridge across the Mississippi, the opening of nearly all of the nation’s coal fields, and the dismantling of Standard Oil. We also shared the sublime, as in Peter Rabbit, the American song, and the Julliard School of Music. Erie gave the world magnets, zippers, car suspension, and paper mills.

Erie also gave the world something else; something so uniquely Erie that it couldn’t have come from anywhere else on earth. We gave the world frozen food and the wind chill factor. The Erieites who’ve created all this wonder are all members of the Erie Hall of Fame. You can learn more about them by visiting one of the two Erie Hall of Fame kiosks located at the Blasco Library, or at Erie International Airport, or by going online. There are 25 members currently enshrined in the Hall and this year the Erie Hall of Fame would like to induct five more, but to do that they need your help. Potential candidates are nominated by people living in the greater Erie area. A candidate is eligible if they are no longer living and if they have made a world contribution. Who do you think would make a good candidate? We want to know. For more information, please visit www.eriehalloffame.com.

Brushwood Folklore Center inspires serenity THE NARROW SHERMAN-CLYMER ROAD ducks under interstate I-86 as if someone tiptoeing to a secret place. Three miles southward from that underpass is a large right-pointing sign that says — in Story and photos by Peter Hamilton artistic, freestyle font: Brushwood: A Sanctuary For The Open Mind. A westward turn, and then a brief rise and fall drive over tar-patched Bailey Hill Road will bring you to the entrance of, as Dave arts & entertainment Guzman, the receptionist and co-owner of the maverick folklore center will confide, “the best kept secret in the world.” Campsites at Brushwood Folklore Center in western Chautauqua County offer serene and private settings for creative contemplation. www.lakeerielifestyle.com February2013 Lake Erie LifeStyle 21
