Bush 2nd Graders Experience FFC 2018 Winners of the Reading in a Magical Setting Route 66 Walking Challenge
Bush Elementary School second graders, MyLeigh Johnson, Piper Stewart, Cecilia Kum, Hunter Hayes, Conner Cook, Owen Everetts, Alani Torres and Sammy Lisciandro show off their Reading Castle.
Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools
[Jamestown, NY] – Bush Elementary School second graders have the opportunity to experience reading in a castle thanks to teachers Laurel Schwartz, Jill Anderson and Katie Darling, with a special thanks to Steve Schwartz for his skills in turning cardboard into a magical setting from long, long ago. The castle was a component of the book, Sir Gus, used in class. The book is an engaging text in the ELA curriculum that follows the serendipitous undertakings of Sir Gus, one of King Alfred’s twelve knights. The enduring main character motivates the students to meet the challenges of more complex text. The students learn strategies to decode multisyllabic words and are introduced to rich vocabulary. The castle provides the opportunity for students to engage with the text in a new and exciting way. The students love the new reading space. “I remember reading that part in the story because I was in the castle, and so into the story, that I was able to visualize it,” said Bush Elementary School second grader Owen Everetts. Students are reminded of the characters and the plot by the artwork in and around the castle. The creation of the castle came at a great time as it coincides with Bush School’s PARP (Parents As Reading Partners) Program. The students can camp out in the castle and read with a partner as one way to work toward meeting their PARP minutes.

CWC Collaborates With Others In Convincing NYSDEC To W Limit Herbicide Treatments In Chautauqua Lake For 2018 ta
F
Contributed Article The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy
The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy is pleased to report that – through collaboration with area residents, lake users, fishermen, sportsmen, and local scientists – we have successfully persuaded New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to limit approval of an herbicide application in Chautauqua Lake to less than one-third of the original request for 900 acres. This DEC action reasonably balances the competing interests of lakefront residents, businesses, boaters, fishermen, and conservationists. Maintaining this balance is essential to protect important habitats and sensitive species that are especially vulnerable to herbicide applications. CWC Board of Directors said, “We are proud of our CWC staff, members and partners for working together and speaking with a unified voice. Our voices helped shape a balanced solution to the challenges of managing the excessive plant growth in Chautauqua Lake. We have more work to do, and must
continue to work in collaboration with our partners and stakeholders in the a community.” G CWC’s Board of Directors has formally endorsed the Chautauqua Lake P Watershed Management Plan and the Chautauqua Lake Macrophyte Management Strategy. These collaborative plans provide a comprehensive framework for properly managing and protecting the life-sustaining lands and waters of Chautauqua County for the benefit of everyone. Regrettably, CWC cannot endorse the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement as presently submitted by The Town of Ellery, because we believe that it contains materials flaws that were identified during the public review process, yet were left unresolved in the final draft. These flaws must be addressed to ensure that future applications of herbicides do not adversely affect plants, fish, and wildlife. Thus, CWC regards this document as an important first-step toward more research and better understanding, which will enable us to determine when and where herbicide treatments and other methods are appropriate. CWC believes that a healthy lake can support recreation while sustaining natural habitat essential for all life.

JPS Students Benefit from Collaboration with CASAC
Chautauqua Alcohol & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) Prevention Educator, Leslie Bianco, presented the Elementary Life Skills Training to Lincoln Elementary school fourth grade classes during a recent visit.
Contributed Article Jamestown Public Schools
[Jamestown, NY] – Chautauqua Alcohol & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC) Prevention Educator, Leslie Bianco, presented the Elementary Life Skills Training to Lincoln Elementary school fourth grade classes. The eight-week lessons are being taught to third and fourth graders at Lincoln, Love, Bush and Ring Elementary Schools. Lessons include: self-esteem, decision-making,
avoiding the effects of smoking information, dealing with stress, media literacy, communication and social skills and assertiveness. CASAC is also presenting this program with all of the fifth grade classes at Jefferson Middle School. “We are so lucky to have this wonderful collaboration with CASAC,” said JPS 21st Century Grants Director Amanda Gesing. “Our students benefit from these experts who have age-appropriate curriculum to talk to our them about the importance of drug and alcohol prevention, and more importantly, giving them the tools to live their best life without drugs and alcohol. We can’t thank them enough for providing this programming to so many of our students.” The Elementary Life Skills Training is just one of many ways CASAC is helping Jamestown students. CASAC is also presenting the Too Good for Drugs (TGFD) Program.” They are implementing this program with kindergartners at Ring and Love, 1st graders at Love, Ring and Fletcher and 2nd graders at all JPS elementary schools. This program is also taught with JHS health classes and the Justice for All class. The age-appropriate program develops skills and is designed to mitigate the risk factors and enhance protective factors related to alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. This program is also being used with students at the JHS Technology Academy. The program introduces and develops social and emotional skills for making healthy choices, building positive friendships, communicating effectively and resisting peer pressure. Too Good for Drugs teaches five essential social and emotional learning skills, which research has linked with healthy development and academic success: goal setting, decision making, bonding with pro-social others, identifying and managing emotions, and communicating effectively. CASAC is also giving lessons at all Jamestown After School programming using the Too Good for Drugs and the Elementary Life Skills Training programs. At Persell Middle School, seventh and eighth graders are participating in a program called the Alcohol Literacy Challenge with Devyn Agett’s Health classes. Alcohol Literacy Challenge (ALC) is a brief classroom-based program designed to alter alcohol expectancies and reduce the quantity and frequency of alcohol use among high school and college students. Alcohol expectancies are an individual’s beliefs about the anticipated effects of alcohol use, including those that are positive (e.g., increased sociability, reduced tension) and negative (e.g., impairments to mental and behavioral functioning, increased aggressiveness or risk taking). Some of the most desired effects nare placebo effects rather than pharmacological ones. ALC aims to correct erroneous beliefs about the effects of alcohol, decreasing positive and increasing negative expectancies. “We are more than excited to be able to provide and implement evidence-based prevention programming in the Jamestown Public Schools,” Laurie Reynolds, Associate Director/Director of Program Services. “They have been such a great collaborator and they have welcomed CASAC Prevention Educators with open arms! We are very appreciative of this wonderful partnership.” The CASAC Prevention Educators implementing all of these programs in the Jamestown Schools are: Leslie Bianco, Trish Whetstone, Tracy Jespersen and Eric Williams.

HBK
The Chautauqua Star Any meal that includes a chip side is a safe bet with kids. Without any further introduction, here is the basic recipe for burrito bowls. As always, thanks for reading and happy dining from hbk!
Burrito Bowls By Katy Wise Contributing Writer
Time to introduce everyone to another Wise family favorite. There are certain meals that every family has in their cooking repertoire, the hard to get tired of, time savers. Admittedly, not all of our family favorites are quick and easy to fix, but this one really is. Depending on how elaborate you choose to make your own burrito bowl, and how many toddlerkid-puppy distractions interrupt you, this meal can take as little as fifteen minutes and at the most, forty-five minutes. We usually lean towards the shorter amount of time around here. If you’ve caught any of my trifle bowl recipes, then you have probably heard the term ‘endless possibilities,’ countless times.
Burrito Bowls Endless possibilities. See, I said it again. I just had to, guys. Once you try it you’ll get it, I promise. Very similar to several popular Mexican inspired restaurants, you can make up several bowls of ingredients and let each person assemble according to their own tastes, or you can layer them all in one bowl and share. When you’re done with dinner, this will make up lots of extra meals for food prep throughout the week. We prefer the one bowl method for our family. It’s easier for us and our kids really couldn’t be called picky eaters. When they don’t eat it’s almost always because they simply aren’t hungry. We’re also working on just eating around the foods you don’t prefer rather than causing a toddler scene. The whole concept that you don’t really need to loudly exclaim in dismay when you uncover a dislikes vegetable lurking within your food. Can any mommy’s out there testify to that?
Maybe this column should be renamed to endless possibilities for all the times that I use that phrase when it comes to baking.
Really though, I know it’s already been said, but our kids aren’t terrible by any means.
I’m going to say it again though, endless possibilities.
They’re easy to feed and a joy to have dinner with, not to mention incredibly entertaining table mates.
This dinner is the trifle bowl of main courses. Except that it’s even better than a main course, because it’s an all in one dish, but not in the strictly casserole kind of way. This meal has plenty of nutrition, dependent upon what you put into it of course, but can easily be adapted to many diet plans and nutrition requirements as needed.
Burrito bowls are one of their favorites. Not that I plan my entire weekly menu based on what they’ll be excited to eat, but there’s something about hearing your kids say, ‘yay!’ When you tell them what’s for dinner. To be perfectly honest, I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I usually let them have tortilla chips with this particular meal.
Lakewood Hosts New Farmers’ & Artisans’ Market Contributed Article
The Village of Lakewood is sponsoring the all new Lakewood Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market at a new day, time and location with Harriet Sessler, as the Market Manager. The market will be held on Thursdays from 2:00 to 6:00 pm on Terrace Avenue overlooking Hartley Park and Chautauqua Lake. The first market will be June 14th and markets will run every Thursday until August 30th. The market has expanded and is pleased to welcome over seven new vendors this year with a wide mix of wholesome foods and products. Featured will be a wide variety of locally grown and raised organic foods including: fruits, vegetables, eggs, grass-fed beef, GMO-free pork; free range chicken and eggs. Local honey and beeswax will also be featured. There will be a variety of baked goods and ovenfresh breads, all from scratch. Fresh flowers, hanging baskets and potted annuals and perennials will be sold. Natural soaps, lotions, organic shampoo and body wash are just a few of the bathing essentials offered. A local photographer will be selling exceptional prints and postcards of Chautauqua Lake and other scenic vistas in this area in addition to other subjects. Participating vendors include: Aber’s Acres, BMTphotos, Gardens of Eternity, Green Heron Growers, Harriet Elizabeth’s, Scott’s Farm and Greenhouse, Sunshine Honey and The Bread Box. The market’s guest musician, Mark Mincarelli, will entertain with his guitar, banjos and singing. The Lakewood Memorial Public Library will be on hand with children’s activities. Other activities will be hosted by the market throughout the season as well as visits from the SPCA and other community organizations. Visitors to the market will discover that there are free exercise classes in Hartley Park from 5:30 to
The Lakewood Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market committee has been busy preparing for the all new market. Pictured from left are Ruth Wahl; Denise Doane; Harriet Sessler, Market Manager; Craig Seger and Bernadette van der Vliet.
6:15 pm sponsored by the Fitness Bunker on the market days in July and August. Live on the Lake, a Thursday night concert series will be held from July 12 through August 9 at 7:00 PM in Hartley Park. Not only will there be music, but also 3 C’s Food Truck on concert nights. Several of the market vendors will remain open making it convenient to shop, eat and relax to the music in one evening. For additional information, please email: lakewoodnyfarmersmarket.com
Ingredients 1 lb. Meat of choice, ground beef or chicken Taco seasoning 4 C. Rice 1 C. Black beans, drained 1 1/2 C. Corn 1 1/2 C. Shredded cheese 1 C. Salsa 1/3 C. Sour cream Optional: chopped onions, green bell peppers, cilantro, tortilla chips First step is to prepare the meat. For a vegetarian burrito bowl, you could easily add lettuce in place of meat and make this into a salad. We have tried that before and it was delicious. We usually use 93% lean ground beef. Once beef is browned, season according to directions. I don’t use packages of seasoning, I just sprinkle a small amount of hot sauce on top, with one teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder and garlic powder, one tablespoon of flour on top and stir in 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a low boil, then turn down heat and simmer for about 5 minutes while the sauce thickens up. Stir often. This should taste very similar to a seasoning packet. Prepare the rest of your layers and you’re done!! It’s really that simple! There’s no specific method to how you need to layer in the bowl, but I personally prefer the rice on the bottom, then half of the cheese, meat, veggies, rest of the cheese, salsa, and sour cream on the top. This melts the cheese pretty evenly and gives a nice colorful display. Red onions and diced green peppers make for an absolutely beautiful burrito bowl, by the way. Serve while still warm, with chips or by itself.

Chautauqua Institution, JCC Collaborate on Summer Credit Courses
Contributed Article
Chautauqua Institution and Jamestown Community College are collaborating on a series of one-credit summer courses based on three of the Institution's theme weeks. Each course is offered at a special rate of $171.75 for New York residents with valid certificates of residence and $270.75 for non-residents. Costs include instruction, parking, and gate fees for select morning hours. Enrollment is open to the public. "It is a wonderful privilege to join forces with JCC to create a new way to embrace learning at Chautauqua," Michael E. Hill, Chautauqua president said. "We are excited to welcome JCC students to the grounds and to widen the circle of people who can experience the innovative teaching and learning commitment of JCC's faculty." "We are pleased to be collaborating with Chautauqua," said Nelson Garifi, JCC's executive director of academic innovation. "The Institution has long been synonymous with quality education and personal enrichment, and we are delighted to offer our students a Chautauqua experience. "At the same time, we anticipate that our courses may be of interest to community residents as well," Garifi added. "Our instructors, experts in their fields, have much to offer those interested in a more thorough examination of the Amphitheater lecture series topics." Each of the courses includes five Amphitheater lectures, pre-lecture classes, and wrap-up discussions. JCC's summer credit courses offered in collaboration with Chautauqua are: Week Three - July 9-13 "The Art of Play" Recognizing play as critically important in the social and
emotional development of a child, but also important for adults, this course will take a multigenerational approach to play, exploring the free-spirited, freeform play of youth, the intellectual challenge of puzzles and games, and creative problem-solving exhibited in the boardroom.
The course will also examine the science behind the importance of play, the changing culture of play and gaming, and the innovative work aimed at improving personal and professional lives through play. Chautauqua speakers for the week include Jill Vialet, founder and CEO of Playworks; Steven Johnson, author of Wonderland: How Play Made the Modern World; Peter Gray, research professor of psychology at Boston College; and Laraine Newman, original "Saturday Night Live" cast member. Elizabeth Starks, coordinator of JCC's early childhood education program, will be the course instructor. Class meeting times are 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Week Five - July 23-27 "The Ethics of Dissent" Students will analyze historical and current forms of dissent in American culture, examining the nature of dissent, its role within democracy, and our obligation as citizens to engage in cultural criticism through dissent. Varying forms of dissent, responses to dissent, and the rules by which society allows or prohibits dissent will be considered. Case studies will be used to frame the conversation around dissent, power, and our ability to reshape conventional understanding of American identity through rhetorical action. Students will examine varying forms of dissent, locate and analyze cultural examples of dissent, and engage in critical discussions related to dissent, power, and
democracy.
Chautauqua speakers for the week include Ralph Young, author of Dissent: the History of an American Idea; Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America; Shaun King, columnist and co-founder of Real Justice PAC; and Bari Weiss, staff editor and writer for the New York Times opinion section. Simone Sellstrom, coordinator of JCC's communication program, will be the course instructor. Class meeting times are 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday and Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, and 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Week Seven - August 6-10 "Music and Global Understanding" Students will explore and experience the ways in which music and the arts can create global cultural understanding and ultimately transform the world. Concepts that the course will examine include the role of music in human identity, as a preserver of culture and a vehicle toward understanding one's own cultural identity, and as a bridge to create human connections across diverse cultures and geographic distances with a view toward a more peaceful and harmonious world. Presentations by the Silk Road Ensemble and other guests of Chautauqua will be a central component of the course. The Silk Road Ensemble will open the week's lecture platform which will culminate with a lecture by renowned cellist and Silk Road Ensemble founder/artistic director Yo-Yo Ma. Neil Flory, coordinator of JCC's music program, will be the course instructor. Class meeting times are 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Jamestown, N.Y. – Parenting today is a serious challenge.
What is the UV Index? The ultraviolet index or UV Index is an international standard measurement of the strength of sunburn-producing ultraviolet (UV) radiation at a particular place and time. The scale was developed by Canadian scientists in 1992, then adopted and standardized by the UN's World Health Organization and World Meteorological Organization in 1994. It is primarily used in daily forecasts aimed at the general public, and is increasingly available as an hourly forecast as well. “Time to Burn” and “Actions to Take” apply to people with fair skin that sometimes tans but usually burns. People with lighter skin need to be more cautious. People with darker skin may be able to tolerate more exposure. The U.S. National Weather Service measures ultraviolet levels on a daily basis, and uses these numbers for various exposure levels.

Robert H. Jackson Center PRESIDENT TO STEP DOWN Contributed Article Robert H. Jackson Center
JAMESTOWN, NY, May 22, 2018 – The Robert H. Jackson Center, a non-profit dedicated to promoting liberty under law through the examination of the life and work of Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson and its relevance to current events and issues, announces that, with the Jackson Center wrapping up a successful three-year strategic plan, President Susan Moran Murphy has decided to step down from the leadership of the Jackson Center. Robert H. Jackson Center Board of Directors Chair Stan Lundine made the announcement. “Susan is an outstanding executive who led us to a new level of excellence. Sue has also significantly strengthened our programs, fundraising, branding, and financial position. She was instrumental in securing a $1.5 million New York State Downtown Revitalization grant to renovate our historic building. The Jackson Center has benefited in countless ways due to her exceptional leadership and we thank her for her dedicated service,” Lundine said. Under Murphy’s two-and-a-half-year leadership, the Jackson Center exceeded its annual fund goals, significantly increased sponsor support, and more than doubled endowment assets by raising contributions of over $1.2 million. Murphy was instrumental in securing $1.5 million in state funding for the Jackson Center’s Master Plan implementation/renovation project. In addition, strategic affiliations have been established with Chautauqua Institution, St. Bonaventure University, and University at Buffalo School of Law, among others. Jackson Center co-founder Greg Peterson said, “Susan has made great strides in helping the Jackson Center achieve the three objectives of our 201517 Strategic Plan – excellence in programming, excellence in partnership, and excellence in public engagement. This has created a strong foundation for our next planning horizon.” Ms. Murphy shared, “It is a privilege to have furthered Robert H. Jackson’s legacy in my time at the helm of the Robert H. Jackson Center. I am proud that the Jackson Center is a stronger entity now and I would like to thank the Jackson Center board, staff, constituents, and our community for their support and friendship.” The Robert H. Jackson Center is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that envisions a global society where the universal principles of equality, fairness and justice prevail. The Center invites and engages students of all ages, scholars, educators, national officials and international dignitaries to analyze contemporary issues of peace and justice through the lens of Justice Jackson’s body of work.

Students also created posters promoting Mental Health Awareness, as well as, provided wellness tips during the morning announcements. “I think an activity like this builds a lot of compassion within ourselves. It makes us more aware of surrounding behaviors and the reason for those behaviors. It encourages us not to judge before you really know the whole story,” said Mrs. Hess. Students will be heading through local neighborhoods asking for pledges for the Walk-a-Thon. If you would like to donate directly, please contact Gina Hess at Jefferson Middle School at 483-4411.

Base Hits Lead to Wins in Economic Development While everyone loves to see a homerun, that’s a rarity. But a series of base hits can be even more effective when it comes to regional economic development. That message was delivered loud and clear during the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundations Local Economic Development Initiative annual summit this past week. Patrick Whalen is currently the director of the Niagara Global Tourism Institute and is the former Chief Operating Officer of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Whalen, who has launched his own successful businesses over the years, admits that he is more of an operator and not a visionary. But he says all of the success of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus has been due to a series of smaller steps that transformed the way people function and even their attitudes. “Buy in at the top is critical,” he said. “The BNMC was only successful because the leadership at the University at Buffalo, Kaleida Health, and Roswell Park Cancer Institute were all directly involved in making joint decisions.” It is that high level collaboration, Whalen noted, that makes the most difference when it comes to actually getting things done. These are crucial points for Chautauqua County, even as we work to build off some major new economic drivers in the Dunkirk area with pending development of the Athenex plant, and in the Jamestown area with the National Comedy Center opening just months away. We must continually remind ourselves that those entities do not stand alone in the mix of industrial or tourism related business developments that are making transformative change in our region. It is the support and augmentation of numerous additional businesses and attractions, along with opportunities for lodging, recreation, housing, and a sound education, that will continue to create the type of full and rich lifestyle we want and need to attract a vibrant workforce to our region. Panelists for the follow-up discussion were County Executive George Borrello, Industrial Development Agency Director Mark Geise, SUNY Fredonia Vice President Kevin Kearns, Nate Aldrich, LED Community Economic Development Specialist, Katie Geise of the Workforce Development Board, and private developer Bill Gugino, who is working with the City of Dunkirk now to bring some vitality and passion to new projects along the waterfront. Collaboration is key and we commend all who participated, including the Chautauqua County Education Coalition which changed its meeting location in order to bring its members to the event in a show of community spirit.
County Executive Breakfast is Friday Each year the Chamber of Commerce provides an opportunity for its members to meet directly with the County Executive and ask questions. County Executive George Borrello will be our special guest for this event, which will be held at Moon brook Country Club, North Main Street Extension, Jamestown. We encourage everyone to bring questions for the County Executive. Registration will begin at 8am, with the program to begin at 8:30. Our sponsors for this event are: Chautauqua Institution, David Snow State Farm Agent, Jamestown Mattress Company, Lawley Benefits Group, Nestle Purina PetCare, OBSERVER, Phillips Lytle LLP, The Post-Journal, Serta Mattress Company, Southern Tier Environments for Living, and UPMC Chautauqua WCA. The cost is $18 for Chamber members or $21 for non-members. Advanced registration is appreciated. You can call the Chamber at (716) 366-6200 or (716) 484-1101 or sign up online.. Business Over Bagels: Hire and Train Good Employees The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce and JCC Continuing Education are proud to present an important topic for the next Business Over Bagels, which will be held Tuesday, June 19 at the JCC North Training Center, 10785 Bennett Road, Dunkirk. Trainer Elizabeth Cipolla will present Hire and Train Good Employees, with a focus on building a strong workforce. Businesses know that it takes time and money to find, hire, and train employees. Hiring the right employee is worth the effort, while hiring one who doesn’t work out is a cost to the business. Join us for this morning session that will explore a variety of topics including how to advertise for new employees, how to interview potential candidates, onboarding new employees, how to clearly state job expectations, and more. Elizabeth Cipolla has a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from St. Bonaventure University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mass Communication. Throughout her nearly 20 year career she has served as an experienced organizational behavior and human resources leader within various industries including aerospace, automotive manufacturing and insurance. In her current role as Vice President of Talent Development at Catapult, she partners with executive clients representing numerous industries to cultivate comprehensive organizational development strategies aimed at improving morale, team productivity and overall business sustainability. Business Over Bagels is sponsored by Buffamante Whipple Buttafaro, DFT Communications, M & T Bank, OBSERVER, and The Post-Journal. The cost for this training seminar is $25 per person for Chamber member businesses or $30 for
non-members. Check-in begins at 8am with a continental breakfast and the program starts at 8:30. To register call Continuing Education at the JCC North Training Center at (716) 363-6590.

Project sticker shock
Contributed Article CASAC
"Project Sticker Shock" is a community working together to create a safer, healthier lifestyle, to reduce underage drinking and its related problems, and to enforce the underage drinking laws. It is an environmental approach designed to reduce youth access to alcohol. This project permits youth to have a voice in addressing the problem of availability of alcohol to minors and to be active in providing a service that is one piece of the puzzle of solutions. Communities here and throughout New York want to attack the social availability of alcohol to minors that is provided by parents and other adults by placing a warning sticker on beer cases. The sticker warns that it is illegal to purchase or provide alcohol to anyone under 21. Some adults do not perceive youth consumption of alcohol as a danger. Some even feel a sense of relief that "it's only alcohol" and not a "real" drug. But, alcohol remains the drug most abused by our adolescent population. Many youth begin drinking at early ages, putting themselves at great risk for alcohol problems later in life. A 2016 survey conducted by the HOPE Chautauqua Coalition, revealed that almost one-third of Chautauqua County teenagers report having had their first drink (more than a sip or two once or twice a month) before their thirteenth birthday. Youth that drink before age 15 are four times more likely to
develop alcohol dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21. For each year's delay in initiation of drinking, the likelihood of later alcohol-abuse problems decreases markedly.
Teenagers know how to get alcohol. Whether they obtain it from friends, siblings, unlocked liquor cabinets or licensed alcohol beverage establishments, nearly 90 percent say it is easy to get. When they first start drinking, most youth get alcohol from home, their friends and other adults, with or without their parents' permission. Did you know that an adult who buys alcohol for anyone under 21-even their own children-may receive a monetary fine of $1,000.00 for the first offense and $2,500.00 for each additional offense? Did you know that an adult who supplies minors with alcohol may also be liable for any resulting injuries and/or property damage caused by the minor? Our ultimate goal is to change societal views of alcohol and youth. CASAC is proud to be a host for "Project Sticker Shock." This project is an environmental strategy that addresses the underage drinking concerns in our community. This is not an individual issue; this is not a family issue; and this is not a school issue. Underage drinking is a community concern and the most effective way to address it is through community involvement and everyone's participation.

Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care volunteers who participated in a recent exchange with the Karatu Lutheran Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania will share a special evening of stories about their experiences and the memorable relationships that they have formed with the rural hospital on Monday, June 25th at the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club, 422 E. Terrace Ave, Lakewood, NY. In March of this year a four-person contingent consisting of Bereavement Coordinator Jamie Probst, Community Outreach Coordinator Cora Monroy, LPN Debra Przepiora, and RN Rebecca Smouse traveled to Tanzania once again, to learn from Tanzanians and share their knowledge of palliative care medicine. The affiliation with the Karatu hospital dates back to 2010 when CHPC established original communication and sent a multidisciplinary exchange team to Africa. In 2012 CHPC hosted the Tanzanians in Chautauqua County. The 2018 visit by CHPC staff represents the third exchange of this unique relationship. “Chautauqua Hospice and Palliative Care has long recognized the value of hospice and palliative care services in managing chronic illness, not just in our own community, but across the global community as well,” said Jamie Probst, Director of Bereavement Care at CHPC. “Understanding the unique challenges and similarities in care delivery between our two cultures makes us all better caregivers.”
The team’s experiences were documented and recorded in hundreds of photos by Probst, who is also a professional photographer. He has donated a selection of his work to be auctioned off at the end of the evening with proceeds to benefit the project. “The medical needs in this region are many,” Probst continued. “Since the team’s return home, we have begun the process of involving the community in the partnership to continue support of the project to further the mission of ensuring that the people of Karatu have access to high quality palliative care services. All proceeds raised from the evening will directly support the palliative patients served by the Karatu Lutheran Hospital.” The event will begin with an Art Preview at 6pm, followed by dinner, which will feature a special Tanzanian Dessert and a short program. The program including a slide presentation begins at 7:30 followed by the art auction at 8:30pm. Tickets for the event are $25 per person and can be purchased online at www.chpc. care or by calling the CHPC office at 716-338-0033. Tickets must be purchased by June 14th.
The mission of Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care is to provide end of life education and care in Chautauqua County. CHPC provides hospice care for patients and families facing lifelimiting terminal illness, palliative care for those with serious chronic illness, and bereavement support to individuals, families and organizations who have suffered the loss of a loved one. For more information, visit www. chpc.org or call (716) 338-0033.

The Jamestown Kiwanis Club is sponsoring an AMBA Wellness Program on Saturday, June 9, 2018 at the Immanuel Lutheran Church at 556 East Second Street from 6:00 am to 10:00 am. The AMBA Wellness Program includes blood tests for Coronary Disease, Kidney Disease, Anemia, Liver Disease, Diabetes and other types of diseases. The cost for the full AMBA panel, including the Kiwanis sponsorship fee, is $48.00. The following optional tests are also available for an additional fee and require a separate script from a physician: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), TSH, Vitamin D - 25, Hemoglobin A1C and Insure Colon Rectal Kit. Kiwanis President Wendy Wilcox stated, “With the changes in health insurance, many people find
themselves with high deductibles to be met before any services are covered. While this has been a valuable program for many years, it is even more so now, as those unable or unwilling to spend hundreds of dollars for routine testing can still get the screenings needed to maintain their health.” Anyone interested in participating should contact their physician for permission to have the test results sent to their office. For further information or to schedule an appointment call 1-800-234-8888 by June 7th. Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. New members are always welcome. For more information call Wendy Wilcox at 450-6874.
