BRUNSWICK - Last year, Ken Jones went to Cuba. “I fell in love with Cuba and the Cuban people and culture and came to feel very strongly that our government's hostile policy towards Cuba has to end.” Jones is doing his part to make that happen. This year, he purchased a 1996 GMC minivan and, working with a group of area volunteers, is filling it with much needed medical and school supplies for the people of Cuba.

CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. - The Victorian enclave of Chautauqua, New York, offers a full-range of stimulating programs during the summer season from late June to late August.
