DUNKIRK– The Dunkirk Fredonia Lions Club recently hosted a beach sweep at Point Gratiot as part of the Alliance for the Great Lakes Adopt-A Beach event. The Alliance for the Great Lakes is a nonpartisan nonprofit working to protect the resource of our lakes. Living on the shores of a Great Lake, we can easily take for granted the beaches and the fresh, clean water. However, those who do not take care can o en drop trash in and around the lakes which affects the
cleanliness and overall health of the lake. With the goal of cleaning up our beaches to have a positive effect on the health of our Great Lakes, volunteers are encouraged to register to host and/or participate for the event. The Dunkirk Fredonia Lions Club was excited to host the event for the fi rst time and look forward to continuing to do so in the coming years. There were a total of 9 volunteers who collected roughly 25 pounds of trash and recyclables from the

Still, Lion Greg Cole who spearheaded the event remarked, “I was pleasantly surprised to see the condition of the beach. I expected that we would have much more trash than we found”.

CHAMBER CORNER FOR SEPTEMBER 25TH
ShopLocalCHQ Serves Local Business DANIEL J. HEITZENRATER PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Now that the season has officially changed to autumn, can Christmas be far behind? While that may seem to many like we’re rushing the seasons, in the world of retail sales there is much planning and upfront work to be done before any Christmas merchandise is even on the display floor. We are already seeing numerous articles about making online purchases early this year due to supply chain issues and the expectation of extended shipping times. But don’t worry, because there is a sound way that you – as either a consumer or a businessperson – can avoid those problems. Shop locally! The Chamber of Commerce is here to help! We offer an online sales and marketing platform for our local, member businesses. It’s a place where you can list items for sale and be part of this outstanding and consumer-friendly system. Since the pandemic shutdowns in the spring of 2020 online sales have skyrocketed. In the US alone, ecommerce sales jumped by 33-percent – to just under $792 billion! If your business isn’t selling online now you are missing out on sales. ShopL oc a lC HQ.com provides a place where our local Chamber member merchants can sell products, services, or gi cards. The system operates by aggregating all of a consumer’s items into a single shopping cart, so it’s easy for the buyer, and at the same time the back end divvies up the sales by vendor, so your sale proceeds come to your business. It’s simple to use and easy to participate. Even if you’re already selling online, you can easily link to your own website and still harness the concentrated marketing power around shopping locally. If your business is not one of the 74 merchants already on the platform, just visit ShopLocalCHQ. com and click “start selling” to begin the process. If you are already a Chamber member, we will quickly approve your participation and you can get set up to start selling. If you are not a Chamber member business yet, we will be notified that you’re interested, and our staff will connect with you about becoming a member. In addition, the Chamber still features a local gi card! Throughout its many years in existence – fi rst as a gi check and more recently as a card – the local economic impact from this program is approximately $3 million. That’s money that has been spent at local retailers and restaurants, and goes back into local payroll, business space, and local programs funded by local businesses. This program serves over
140 local Chamber member businesses, so the card can be used for everything from local wines to restaurants to entertainment, retail, and much more. Very soon our ShopLocalCHQ gi card will have a brand-new look, so watch for our unveiling! If your business is already participating in these programs, we ask you to please double check the merchandise you have listed for sale on ShopLocalCHQ. com and make sure it’s up to date and ready for Christmas sales. If you have recently changed your companies point of sale system and participate in the ShopLocal gi card, please let us know so we can keep you up to date in the system. Shopping locally benefits our entire community, and with the busy holiday shopping season ahead we remind one and all to support the local businesses that have worked hard to remain open and a vital part of our communities over the past eighteen months. Register Now for the Chamber Annual Awards Banquet The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be able to hold its Annual Awards Banquet in person this year, but space has been limited to just 200 persons. We ask that all who wish to a end the dinner event on October 7 register online by September 30. This year’s dinner will be held again at the Williams Center at SUNY Fredonia. There is also an option for viewers to watch the awards presentations online if they choose. Each year the Chamber is pleased to honor a number of individuals and organizations from across Chautauqua County. This year special protocols are in place to be sure that the event is safe and enjoyable to all a ending. Tables will be spaced appropriately throughout the room and will be reserved for up to eight guests only. All inperson a endees must certify at online registration that they are vaccinated and will agree to wear a mask indoors (per SUNY requirements) until they are seated for dinner. Because of the health requirements there will be no cocktail hour prior to dinner, but complimentary wine and beer will be provided at each table and a cash bar will be made available in the dining room. Check-in for the event will begin at 6:30pm, with dinner and the program to begin promptly at 7pm, when online viewers will be invited to participate via Zoom webinar. The Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce will present the Economic Development Award to Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care for both the healthcare services it provides countywide and for its extraordinary efforts during a pandemic to raise funds and expand
its programming and jobs through the construction of a fi rst ever local Hospice House. Two Persons of the Year Awards will be presented. John D’Agostino, Managing Editor of The Post-Journal and OBSERVER will receive the award for his active involvement in numerous community organizations over the years. Rochelle Mole, Vice President of Finance and Operations with the National Comedy Center will receive the award for her personal sacrifice and foundational role over the past year to maintain a nationally recognized and locally important institution during a very challenging time. Each of our six Community Chambers of Commerce will present a Community Service Award. The Dunkirk Community Chamber has selected Kirk Frey who has been actively engaged in the community through his business, Kirk’s Jeweler’s, and through many charitable contributions, for over 40 years. The Fredonia Community Chamber chose Festivals Fredonia – a completely volunteer-run organization responsible for pu ing on several festivals in the community annually. The Hanover Community Chamber selected Aimee Rogers in recognition of her efforts with Imagine Forestville to both encourage the preservation of history as well as new business development in the hamlet.

Texas-Style Brisket
Serves 6 to 8 1 8- to 10-lb. beef brisket 3 tablespoons kosher salt 3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper Dry-brining time: Overnight Prep time: 15 to 30 minutes Cook time: 7 hours, 30 minutes to 9 hours, 30 minutes; plus 1 to 2 hours to rest Grill temperature: 250 F to 275 F Smoking wood: Oak or pecan 1. Trim off any hard fat from the brisket and square off the edges. Trim the fat cap down to an even 1⁄4-inch thickness. Sprinkle evenly on all sides with the salt and pepper. Refrigerate overnight. 2. Prepare the grill for smoking at 250 F to 275 F. 3. Place the brisket fat-side up on the grate over the drip pan. Close the lid. If
desired, wrap in aluminum foil a er 5 to 6 hours or once the bark (crust) is dark brown. 4. Turn over the brisket, close the lid, and continue cooking for 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours, 30 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 200 F. 5. Rest the brisket, wrapped in foil, for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Cut across the grain into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices. Pour over as much of the drippings from the pan as you like, and serve. Cooking tip: The grain in each part of the brisket — it’s made up of two different muscles, known as the flat and the point — runs in two different directions. Roughly speaking, the grain in the point runs perpendicular to the grain in the flat, so you’ll want to slice the two sections separately. DE21B461

What is maskne and how do you treat it? Public health guidelines advising people to wear masks have proven effective at slowing the spread of COVID-19, but such recom mendat ions have led to some unforeseen and unwanted side effects. For example, wearing masks that cover the lower portion of the face has led to an uptick in instances of acne. U.S. Dermatology Partners advises that regular mask wearing can lead to skin health issues, including flare-ups in chronic skin conditions. It’s become such a widespread issue that the term “maskne” has now become a part of the lexicon. According to Dr. Mona Gohara, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine, maskne is a real thing. The most common kind is acne mechanica, which is the type of acne that occurs when something rubs up against the face. Oil, sweat and a lack of fresh air to the face can cause the formation of acne just about anywhere beneath protective masks. Health care workers may be especially susceptible, but just about anyone who wears a mask for an extended period of time may develop
maskne. Dr. Shari Lipner, an associate professor of clinical dermatology and an associate a ending physician at New YorkP re sby t e r i a n / We i l l Cornell Medical Center, says anything that causes friction on the face can cause the skin to become irritated and inflamed. Couple that with trapped bacteria, sweat and oil, and acne can result. Dermatologists are seeing a rise in patients visiting their practices for acne issues and treatments. Mask-related skin issues have become such an issue that the COVID-19 task force of the American Academy of Dermatology has released advice on the subject, including ways to mitigate maskne formation. • Wash masks frequently. Those who opt for fabric masks should look for ones that are made of 100 percent co on or silk for the most breathability. Also, wash the mask as frequently as possible to avoid reapplying dirt, oil and sweat to the
face. • Follow singleuse mask use. People who prefer disposable masks should use the mask and properly discard it a er using it once. • Reduce beauty product usage. Consider going without face makeup under the mask to reduce the potential of it contributing to the formation of oil and bacteria. Otherwise, look for products that are noncomedogenic or oil-free. • Use gentle, fragrancefree products. Wash the face with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser each morning and night. Harsh products can further irritate the skin. In addition, apply a light, fragrance-free moisturizer to serve as a friction barrier between face and mask. • Try OTC products. Overthe-counter solutions of benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid may help treat acne. However, if acne does not improve within a week or two, visit a board-certified dermatologist. Maskne is a condition marked by a flare-up of acne from prolonged mask use. There are ways to keep skin issues at bay with self-care and the advice of dermatologists.
A POINT OF VIEW
We Need Leaders With The Courage To Lead And The Wisdom To Listen BY ROBERT L. HEICHBERGER (This is the fi rst of several columns to follow on the topic of LEADERSHIP) If ever there was a critical time for great leadership to emerge, that time is now! Within the hearts and minds of the people in these United States there is a longing desire for courageous, competent, and visionary transformational leadership. There are many people today who feel strongly that the nation today is moving decidedly in a dangerously wrong direction. Further, there seems to be a disturbing feeling among some citizens that today there are those in leadership who are striving ONLY for personal power and self aggrandizement. Today, there appears to be a disturbing sense that a feeling of national pride is not being encouraged, resulting in an erosion of confidence in our public institutions and infrastructure. Among others, there appears to be several major national topics facing the electorate in 2021, they are--- a heartwrenching situation in Afghanistan, a deficit of competence in leadership personnel, troubling foreign relationships, erosion of national pride, spiraling inflation, and out of control immigration. The ebb and flow of the confidence in our leadership is on a downward trend. Greater stimulative and confidence building in our leadership is the urgent call of the day! A GOOD leader inspires people to have the confidence in the leader. But, a GREAT leader inspires others to have confidence in themselves. And, great leaders are as enthusiastic
about the success of others, as they are about their own successfulness. Great leadership results in the unlocking of the potential that resides in the people themselves. Great leaders have the courage to lead and the wisdom to listen. Indeed, this is the true essence of leadership. Many of us recognize good leadership and we can identify those who stand out as great leaders. Unfortunately, most of us also have seen ineffectual leadership at work. In fact, ineffectual leaders are not leaders at all. True, there may be those who have the designated title of “ leader” or, those who try to “play act” as a leader. But, when the very heart of the moral authority to lead is lacking, leadership is just non-existent. For moral authority is at the heart of great leadership; it is the true essence of transformative leadership at its best. We have all been in groups where someone took control of the situation by conveying a clear vision of the group’s goals, a marked passion for the work, and an ability to make the rest of the group feel recharged and energized. Transformational leadership is a type of leadership style which inspires others to reach their potential. Transformational leaders are energetic, competent , and passionate. Not only are these leaders concerned and involved in the substance of the organization, but also, they are encouraging to others... to learn, search, and serve and to become all of which one is capable. Transformational leaders have a way of taking more than their share of the blame and less than their share of the credit. They stimulate
and inspire followers to both achieve extraordinary outcomes and, in the process, each follower then develops their own leadership capacity. Transformational leaders help others to grow and develop into leaders by responding to the needs of the individuals and by empowering by aligning each (and this is key) to the objectives and goals of the individual followers, the group, and the larger organization. Great leaders possess credibility and leave footprints in their areas of passion. For leadership is a rendezvous with possibility thinking based upon uncompromising integrity... for, with, and by the people. Their heart is in that which they do. It was Eleanor Roosevelt who said it so well: “To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart”. That was solid advice for her time. And it is solidly strategic advice for our times as well! And that is my Point of View. Dr. Robert L. Heichberger is Emeritus Member College Council and Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at SUNY Fredonia

Chautauqua Lake level scheduled to drop beginning October 20, 2021 CELORON, NY-- As we get into the fall, Chautauqua Lake stakeholders should make plans to remove their boats and docks from the water before October 20, 2021 especially if lower water levels may impact removal plans. “Starting on that date the Warner Dam will open and Chautauqua Lake levels will trend downward for the winter season,” said Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator Dave McCoy. “Each fall we reduce the lake level from the summer recreational level of 1308.2’ to a lower winter elevation.” The Warner Dam, located along the Chadakoin River in Jamestown is owned by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and is operated by the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities (BPU). The Warner Dam is operated following a rule curve and serves a primary role of reducing flood damage to homes surrounding Chautauqua Lake. The BPU opens the dam annually during the
B&S
fall and winter months in an effort to lower the lake level and reduce potential flooding and shoreline damage by ice sheets in the winter and spring. It is o en newer property owners that can be surprised by the seasonal drop in lake levels, while those who have a longer history on Chautauqua Lake know what to anticipate and are prepared. “We are rarely able to get much below 1307.0’, but stakeholders can anticipate that the lake may drop a foot or more within two to three weeks a er we open the Warner Dam,” said McCoy. “How fast the lake will drop depends upon the weather.” The deepest permanent boat launch sites are located at Long Point State Park and Lucille Ball Memorial Park and are considered by many experienced boaters to be the best public ramps to use in low lake level conditions, but there are other ramps that work well for smaller watercra . Also, some of the marinas on Chautauqua Lake have facilities to pull larger boats out of the water. Maintaining the
recreational lake level presented some challenges in 2021 due to an unusually dry spring, which was followed by almost three times the normal amount of rain in July, with high lake levels and flooding caused by intense rainfall events. Since then, the County has had enough rainfall to properly maintain lake levels. Interested parties can visit the resources page of the Chautauqua Lake and Watershed Management Alliance’s website at www. chaut auqu a a l l ia nce.org / resources/ to view current and past U.S. Geological Survey hydrological data on lake levels and Chadakoin River stage and discharge. “We are looking forward to the 2022 season and hope Mother Nature gives us enough, but not too much water to maintain lake levels at the desired level,” said McCoy. For more information regarding this press release, please contact Chautauqua County Watershed Coordinator Dave McCoy at 716-661-8915.
