Margaret Sysol Griffin Memorial Scholarship Announced DUNKIRK,

N.Y.,

The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation recently announced that it has a newly created fund, the Margaret Sysol Griffin Memorial Scholarship. The scholarship has been established by her husband, Jeffery Griffin, in her memory to benefit students graduating from Dunkirk High School with plans to enter the medical field. Special consideration will be given to students planning to study medicine or medical research.

Margaret could not take the opioids because of the side effects. As a result, she was in pain constantly. The survival rate of this disease is very low. An article about Lexi Reed, a young woman who has contracted this horrible disease can be found at people.com.

CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT & ENHANCEMENT STRATEGY ADOPTED JAMESTOWN,

NY

-

Chautauqua County has seen significant changes in the agricultural community since the adaptation of the 2000 Farmland Protection Plan (FPP). The County has a diverse farm production sector, farm input and service sector, and sectors related to food processing and value-added output. To understand how agriculture has changed in the County and how it can be supported and maintained in the future, an update to the FPP entitled, Chautauqua County Agricultural Development and Enhancement Strategy (CCADES, aka the Plan), was recently completed.

In 2019, the Chautauqua County Department of Planning & Development (CCDPD) was awarded a $50,000 grant from the New York State Department of Agricultural and Markets and a $30,000 grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to update the Plan.

Agricultural and Community Development Services, LLC (ACDS, LLC), through a partnership with CCDPD and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua County, was the County’s consultant tasked with developing the update.

ACDS, LLC engaged with local farmers, agribusinesses, and officials throughout the County to gain an understanding of the agricultural economy in the County.

Using the latest 2017 Census of Agriculture data, the updated Plan explores the agricultural economy and land uses to identify trends and patterns. What emerged from this data, tours, interviews, and multiple focus groups, is a host of recommendations to protect and enhance the agricultural industry by encouraging economic and community prosperity.

The recommendations are separated into five focus areas:

agricultural markets; labor and workforce; business and financing; education and outreach; and land use.

“I am really proud of the work our Department of Planning & Development undertook to get this project to the finish line, especially Rebecca Wurster and Lauren Sharp, not to mention the Ag Board and other community stakeholders that participated in the process,” said Mark Geise, Deputy County Executive for Economic Development and Director of Planning & Development.

“What I really like about the plan is that it is action-oriented and results-focused in the sense that the proposed projects are not only meaningful but feasible as well. No one wants to spend all of this time, effort, and resources on creating a plan that sits on a shelf and collects

dust. Our agriculture sector is extraordinarily important to this county, and we need to do everything we can to support it.”

The final version of the Plan was presented to the County Legislature and was unanimously approved on May 25, 2022. Final approval was given by New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets in August of 2022. The plan is available on the CCDPD website at https:// p l a n n i n g c h a u t a u q u a .c o m / wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ Chautauqua-Count y-Repor tv18-Pages.pdf.

The Plan is intended to support farmers and enhance profitability, but also a strategy for County leadership to identify opportunities and provide guidance in municipal planning in agriculture. Over the next 10 years, the CCDPD

hopes to partner with other agencies around the County to implement the top priority recommendations.

“I thank our Department of Planning and Development, Chautauqua County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board, and the many stakeholders across our county who helped develop this important update,” said PJ Wendel, Chautauqua County Executive. “Their work will guide agricultural development in our county for the next decade and ensure our agriculture sector continues to grow and prosper.”

For more information on the CCADES, please contact Lauren Sharp at (716) 661-8245 or sharpl@chqgov.com.

Did You Know?

Individuals are urged to guard against sunburns and skin cancer by applying a sunscreen. But what does SPF and the various numbers associated with it mean? SPF refers to sun protection factor.

The SPF rating, according to Verywell Health, refers to how long a person can stay in the sun without getting burned while wearing the sunscreen compared to how long he or she could stay in the sun before burning without wearing sunscreen. For example, if you normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun and you apply an SPF 15 product, it will take 15 times longer

to burn in the sun, or 150 minutes (2.5 hours). Wearing a higher SPF product doesn’t protect you better, it does protect you for longer durations. Therefore, you could conceivably wear an SPF 5 and with frequent reapplication, get the same level of protection as wearing SPF 45. Higher number SPF products may be preferable since people can easily get distracted or forget to apply sunscreen regularly while outdoors.

But experts recommend reapplication of sunscreen every two hours, regardless of the SPF number on your sunscreen bottle.

The 4-H Beef Program offers two options for participants: either raising a steer to sell at the Meat Animal Sale at the county fair and/or raising a beef heifer to show and possibly bring back to fair with a calf by her side. All participants in this program attend meetings and gain knowledge about raising beef animals in preparation for showing them at our county fair. Beef animals can be unpredictable and are over ten time the weight of their handlers. The participants have worked with their animals since last October and produced animals that behaved beautifully in the show arena. That takes many hours of work and lots of perseverance on the part of the kids.

The Grand Champion Steer of 2022, Machina, belonged to Lucas Overend of Falconer. The Reserve Champion Steer, Benson, belonged to Corinne Covert of Lakewood. Third Overall Steer was shown by Adam Lesch of Fredonia, Fourth Overall Steer belonged to Lydia Covert of Lakewood and Fifth Overall Steer was shown by Levi Overed of Falconer. Winning Grand Champion Steer Showman was Corinne Covert of Lakewood and taking Reserve Steer Showman was Parker Schauman of Ashville.

MAYVILLE, NY — A traumatic event can affect someone emotionally, physically, and mentally. Fear and anxiety about a traumatic event can overwhelm and cause strong emotions.

These feelings are normal.

Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations. The emotional impact of an event on a person can depend on the person’s characteristics and experiences, the social and economic circumstances of the person and their community, and the availability of local resources. People can become more distressed if they see repeated images or hear repeated reports about the outbreak in the media.

If you have seen or been through a traumatic event, the Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene (CCDMH) would like to offer the following tips that may be helpful following a traumatic event.

Talk to someone. Talking about it may feel uncomfortable, but it may help you feel better. Talk to friends, your

WENDEL ANNOUNCES NEW LEADERSHIP FOR DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC FACILITIES Timothy Card Selected to Serve as Director of Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities New Director to Begin on Sept. 6

MAYVILLE, NY — Chautauqua County Executive Paul M. Wendel, Jr. has announced the appointment of Timothy Card as the new Director of the Chautauqua County Department of Public Facilities (DPF).

Card will begin his new position on September 6, 2022 and he replaces former director Brad Bentley, who resigned from the position in December 2021.

Since 1990, Card has worked for the Town of Harmony serving for six years as a motor equipment operator before becoming the highway superintendent in 1996. In this position, he was responsible for overseeing

all highway operations and employees, managing a municipal building expansion, designing and overseeing a salt storage facility project, and managing the budget and purchasing for all equipment and maintenance.

Prior to his position with the town, he worked at Maplevale Farms, Inc. as a forklift operator and truck driver.

“I am proud to welcome Tim Card to our team,” said Wendel. “He is a lifelong resident of Chautauqua County and I believe his 26 years of experience in overseeing municipal facilities, grounds, roads and transfer station operations will be a great asset to our Depart-
