Seward in Jamestown.<\/p>\n<p>Jim was known as the &#8220;Mayor of the West End,&#8221; of Jamestown, and was a leader in promoting\u00a0 the replacement bridge on First Street West, the original structure removed to alleviate flooding concerns in the late 1990&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Jim expressed his\u00a0 concerns and\u00a0 those\u00a0 of others, that not having the bridge, meant only one access over the river, on Second Street Southwest, and making it more difficult to access the west area across the river by first responders and others, and endangering lives and property, and inconveniencing motorists.<\/p>\n<p>As the community knows Jim, was on hand at nearly every Jamestown parade.<\/p>\n<p>Jim passed away on July 11, 2013 at the age of 88.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: red;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/?p=47232\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: red;\">Remembering James Carlascio &#8211; WW II POW<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friday&#8217;s Dedication and Unveiling of the Monument was recorded by CSi 10 The Replay Channel, now showing, along with the 2005\u00a0bridge opening video.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 A gathering of family and friends of\u00a0 the late Jim Carlascio honored him on\u00a0 Friday afternoon, at the First Street West Bridge in Jamestown, to unveil and dedicate a monument in his honor.
