MHA Offers Movement is Medicine Group JAMESTOWN, NY — Exercise has been proven to help improve mental health and reduce stress.

The Mental Health Association in Chautauqua County (MHA) is now offering Movement is Medicine, a fitness training group, at their Jamestown location in the Gateway Building, Door 14, 31 Water Street.

MHA volunteer and certified personal trainer Brian Mayo is leading the group that meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m.

Those at any experience level are welcome and, like all MHA groups, it is free and open to the public.

As Mayo says in a Facebook live post with Certified Peer Specialist Sean Jones, Movement is Medicine is basically a boot camp fitness class that includes high cardio to help build muscle mass, strength, and create an overall good feeling. “If you look good, you feel good.

Exercise helps you in your recovery. Once you stop using substances, it’s a natural help, focusing on looking be er and feeling be er.”

Mayo notes that he has been on “both sides of the fence.” Movement is Medicine works you hard in a good way to get in be er shape and feel be er about yourself while you are in recovery from substance use disorders, mental health issues, or if you just want to shed some pounds.

MHA Executive Director Steven Cobb said, “This is a new direction for the MHA to have a fitness class. We are pre y excited!”

Movement is Medicine is one of more than three dozen groups that meet at the MHA including Crystal Meth Anonymous, AA and NA, #MeToo, Southern Tier Queer Peers, Kni ing for Wellbeing, Art in Recovery, PTSD, Suicide Prevention, Master Your Money, Relapse Prevention, and Recovery Dharma. More information about these and other MHA programs is in the MHA’s Spring Newsle er available online at MHAChautauqua. org/newsle ers.

Osprey Recovery in New York State Discussion at Roger Tory Peterson Institute an inperson and online event JAMESTOWN — The Roger Tory Peterson Institute will host a discussion on the recovery of ospreys in New York State as part of RTPI’S The Art of the Osprey exhibition. The discussion will take place on Wednesday, June 30 at 7:00p.m., both online and in-person at RTPI, located at 311 Curtis Street, Jamestown, NY. Participation online via Zoom and in-person is free. The discussion immediately follows RTPI’S weekly Art A er Five event from 5:00 to 7:00p.m. that evening. To register to a end either in-person or online, email RTPI at events@ rtpi.org.

Candace E. Cornell, a retired biology from Cornell University and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, will discuss the rapid and ongoing recovery of ospreys in the Finger Lakes region of New York. She has been studying the ospreys nesting on Cayuga Lake since they fi rst bred in Ithaca in 2010.

“For the fi rst in well over one hundred years, if not more, ospreys are colonizing the Finger Lakes in the

heart of New York State with the Cayuga Lake Basin at its core,” Cornell said. Ospreys, a global species, had been missing from the region and were nearly driven to extinction by the widespread use of DDT during the middle decades of the twentieth century.

“Roger Tory Peterson absolutely loved ospreys and told people that they were a key reason he moved to Old Lyme, Conneticut,” stated Arthur Pearson, CEO of RTPI. “Roger had studied the effects of DDT on animals for the Army during World War Two and testified before the Senate in the 1960’s advocating for the banning of DDT even before the science was se led regarding DDT’S dangers.”

In the early 1970’s, the Nixon administration created the Environmental Protection Agency, passed the Endangered Species Act through Congress, and banned the use of DDT. Ospreys began to recover within a few years a er the banning of DDT and all of the osprey populations at

Chautauqua County Hazardous Materials Response Team Issues Cautionary Note to Pool Owners

MAYVILLE, NY — There is a shortage of some chlorine products this summer.

Due to recent incidents in the county, the Chautauqua County Hazardous Materials Response Team is urging caution when using a brand other than what you have typically been using.

There are four types of chlorinating products.

They may look similar but they are incompatible with each other. These are Liquid Chlorine (bleach), Dichlor (granular sodium dichlor-5-tr iazinetr ione), Calcium Hypochlorite (granular and tablets) and Trichlor (granular and tablets trichlor)-5-triazinetrione.

Mixing different chlorinating compounds can result in a volatile reaction capable of causing bodily harm and producing toxic vapors.

DO NOT use the wrong Chlorine tablets in your chlorinator! Placing the wrong type of chlorinating tablets or mixing different forms in a tablet feeder will cause a reaction that produces considerable heat and toxic gasses. The rapid formation of gas inside a tablet feeder can cause enough pressure to blow the lid off the feeder or can be violent enough to cause the feeder to explode.

Chautauqua County Deputy Fire Coordinator for EMS Dan Imfeld said, “Exposure to these fumes may

WANTED TO BUY

cause irritation of upper and lower airways, coughing, shortness of breath and/or chemical burns to the eyes or skin. The effects may develop several hours a er an exposure. Anyone experiencing issues should seek medical a ention immediately.”

Individuals also should not pour chlorinating compounds into their pool’s skimmer.

Chautauqua County Deputy Fire Coordinator for Hazmat Chris Wichlacz offered these precautions for safely handling chlorine products: • Do not get it in eyes, on skin, or on clothing; • Avoid breathing vapors or dust when opening the container; • Avoid creating dust; • Wash thoroughly a er handling; • Do not add the product to any dispensing device containing residuals of other products; • Keep your chemical containers tightly closed, properly labeled and away from food, drink and animal feed; and • Keep them separated from incompatible substances and store them in their original container in a cool, dry place.

If you are uncertain of what type of chlorine you are using please read the label and consult your pool supplies vendor.

FREDONIA — Talented young pianists are invited to apply to the sixth annual Claude e Sorel Piano Competition and Piano Fellows Program at the State University of New York at Fredonia's School of Music.

We have intentionally designed our competition to be a uniquely positive and welcoming experience, creating a space for participants to present their creative passion and vision in a nurturing environment, said Assistant Professor Eliran Avni, who serves as competition director.

Open to pianists ages 15 to 18, the Sorel competition offers a fi rst prize $2,500 cash award and copy of judges‚ wri en notes, and additional $1,250 cash awards at the discretion of judges. Past awards have been given to recognize artistic excellence, best

Chopin, programming and contemporary piece performance. Applications will be accepted until Sept.

15.

School of Music faculty serving as competition judges include Professor Fr. Sean Duggan, Lecturer Anne Kissel, Assistant Professor Nick Weiser and Dr. Avni.

The top 10 fi nalists will be notified by Oct. 1. The live fi nal round will be held on Sunday, Nov. 7, in Rosch Recital Hall on campus.

All fi nalists will receive a recording of their live performance and a copy of the judges wri en notes.

Organizers of the competition look forward to returning to a live, in-personal fi nal round.

Guidelines and restrictions pertaining to COVID-19, including masks, social distancing and vaccination status, will be followed.

Updated information will be posted on the Sorel competition website and sent to applicants.

The Piano Fellows Program, held in conjunction with the piano competition, is designed for talented pianists who are serious about their cra and are looking for an intensive musical experience, but who may not yet be ready for the competition circuit.

The program, to be offered in both in-person and online formats this year, is considered to be an excellent way to prepare for a college/ conservatory audition.

In-person fellows will receive an individual lesson with a member of the School of Music faculty/judge panel, a end a ernoon workshops and a master class, perform in a Fellows recital, have a behind-thescenes experience at the Sorel Competition and be

invited to be part of the ongoing online Fellows community.

There is no additional fee to participate as a Piano Fellow.

The competition is named for pianist and former SUNY Fredonia faculty member and SUNY Distinguished Professor Claude e Sorel, and is supported by a foundation she founded. The Sorel Organization intends to create opportunities for women in composition, conducting, piano, voice and fi lm scoring and to keep musical excellence alive while expanding the boundaries for women in music.

For Ms. Walzer, her choice to become a teacher was influenced by one of her high school social studies teachers. That decision to enter education would lead to a teaching career spanning 45 years. “Ms. Walzer always made class exciting and compelling for students,” shares student Hannah Bretz. “She is appreciated by students and staff alike. She will be missed.”

“I have known Joyce as both a student and a colleague, and I feel blessed to have known her in both of these roles,” adds Mrs. Rachel Swan. “She is a ded-

icated teacher who truly loves her students, who continues to learn and improve her lessons over the years and never wants to stop having a positive impact in others’ lives even a er retirement. Thank you Joyce for the kindness, dedication, respect and hard work you have modeled for all of us.”

Ms. Walzer has enjoyed creating and adjusting lesson plans to stimulate interest in the topic at hand while inspiring students to learn more at the same time.

“Aside from being a master teacher to the students, Ms. Walzer has been an example for fellow staff,” according to Mr. Nicholas Caughel.

“Empathetic to her students, their academic needs and their lives outside of school,

Joyce has been a bright spot in the lives of so many of our students through the years.

The passion and enthusiasm that Ms. Walzer displays when telling the students one of her favorite stories from world history is something those of us so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her will never forget.”

Looking ahead to retirement, Ms. Walzer plans to a end more Bills games, especially the away games.

She also plans to spend more time enjoying biking and boating. One of her favorite memories she will take away from Chautauqua Lake will be receiving the yearbook dedication in 2019.

“The eight years at CLCS have been the best eight

years of my career,” says Ms. Walzer. “I will miss my colleagues who also became my friends. I will miss the many students who, when I hear their name, will bring a smile to my face.”

When it comes to advice for other teachers, Ms. Walzer stresses the importance of continually evaluating lessons and adjusting them to meet student needs. “Be prepared to work more than 40 hours a week. Be fair, be consistent and let the students know you care.”

Ms. Walzer leaves us with this quote from Voltaire: “Appreciation is awonderful thing; it makes what is excellent in others belong to us aswell.” She adds, “I so appreciate my years at Chautauqua LakeCentral School.”

MAYVILLE, NY— The Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County is excited to announce its new website www.preventsuicidechq.com.

Suicide is a large and growing public health problem.

The Suicide Prevention Alliance was formed under Chautauqua Tapestry and the Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene to protect and promote life by fostering shared responsibility through raising awareness and community supports while embracing hopefulness and resiliency in the Chautauqua region.

Suicide is a public health issue that affects all ages. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 34, the fourth leading cause of death among people ages 34 to 54 and the fi h leading cause of death among people ages 45 to 54. While statistics can be staggering, suicide is preventable and everyone has a role to play to help save lives and create healthy and strong individuals, families and communities. The Suicide Prevention Alliance provides an easy and comprehensive way to connect people to the many resources available in our area. The new website serves as local resource to community members who have survived a suicide attempt, who know someone who is at risk or are survivors of suicide loss to access the help they need. The website also has resources to assist someone who is experiencing a suicidal crisis.

“As County Executive, I am very proud of the work that the Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County has done since its inception in 2011,”said PJ Wendel, Chautauqua County Executive.

“Anyone can play a critical role in suicide prevention by having the courage to ask hard questions and by knowing how to help someone stay safe with resources available right here in Chautauqua County. This website connects us with the information that we need as a community to reinforce our supportive efforts.”

The site is easy to navigate and provides up to date resources and information about local awareness events, prevention trainings, safe

messaging tools, and more.

The website features an important Public Service Announcement video highlighting some local programs and initiatives championing prevention, support and healing efforts available in our area.

“Through funding and partnership with the Suicide Prevention Resource Center of New York, we are excited to share this website and video with the community,” said Carri Raynor, Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County Coordinator/ Family Lead of Chautauqua Tapestry. “There is help locally for those with thoughts of suicide, for loss survivors and for community members looking to educate themselves on the warning signs and what to do if someone you care about is struggling or in crisis.”

You can also locate the video on YouTube by searching for “There is Hope and Help in Chautauqua County - Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County.” This video is meant to be shared and used as an awareness tool. It helps to break down the stigma of suicide, offer hope to those who are struggling with thoughts of suicide and to highlight that there is help.

Raynor added, “The video was a great project to highlight supportive resources within our area. There is no reason for someone to struggle in silence. We want to get that message out there, that there is HOPE (Hold On Pain Ends). Reach out a hand and get the help you need. There are so many people in our lives who care about us and are there to help.”

If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, help is available. Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by calling 1-800-2738255 (TALK) or text “HOME” to the Crisis Text line 741741. Both are free and confidential. You will be connected to a skilled, trained counselor in your area. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
