Mr. Sun at Art’s Cafe October 14th

The people need light… Mr Sun is here for that. At least, they will be on Octo ber 14th at Art’s Cafe.

“Mr Sun is relaxing in a way that makes my mind flip on and spark and spin. I think it’ll do the same for most people who like acoustic string music,” says Darol Anger, fiddler for the band.

Mr Sun comprises two generations of some of the sharpest minds to apply themselves to the Amer ican String Band. With Darol Anger on fiddle, Grant Gordy on guitar, Aidan O’Donnell on bass, and Joe K. Walsh on man dolin and vocals, the band offers four distinct musi cal personalities.

Legendary fiddler Dar ol Anger is at home in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent, and is a member of the original “nuclear” generation of pickers who extended Bluegrass, Jazz, and Classical music to find their common ground; Mr Sun is the latest iteration in that legacy.

Joe K. Walsh is one of the foremost contempo rary mandolinists, with 4 award-winning years in the Gibson Brothers, 3 solo recordings, and a Berklee professorship.

Grant Gordy is a stand out in the crowded field of Acoustic Guitar Wunder

kinds. Grant’s work was quickly recognized for its kaleidoscopic excellence and startling emotion, fusing Jazz, R&B, and Bluegrass concepts to an unprecedented degree.

The group recently add ed the masterful bassist Aidan O’Donnell, a Brook lyn, New York (by way of Scotland) jazz veteran.

“This is brilliant mu sic, seriously playful, full of light and shade and a

seemingly effortless vir tuosity that always makes a musical and human point,” writes author Tom Piazza. “Airborne and ex ultant; it flies eight miles high and digs right down to the core.”

Mr Sun will be at Art’s Cafe in Springville on Oc tober 14th at 7pm. Tick ets are $14 in advance or $17 at the door, and can be purchased at Springvil leArts.org or by calling the Springville Center for the Arts at 716.592.9038.

HEALING COMMUNITY STUDY LAUNCHES WAVE 2 COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGN IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY

MAYVILLE, N.Y.Chautauqua County is ex cited to join 33 other com munities across New York, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and Ohio in launching the first communications campaign for the Healing Communities Study. The first campaign running from October 3 – Decem ber 2, 2022 is focused on raising awareness of the dangers of illicit fentan yl, a drug that is present in more than three-quar ters of the 2,000+ overdose deaths that occur in New York each year (source: NY State Opioid Annual Report 2021). In addition to sharing facts about the dangers of illicit fentan yl, the HEALing Com munities Study campaign teaches ways to protect our loved ones and community members from a fatal fen tanyl overdose including:

Knowing the signs and how to respond to an over dose; and Getting trained and carrying naloxone (also known as Narcan® or Kloxxado™), an FDA-ap proved medication that can save someone’s life if they are overdosing on opioids, whether it is a prescription opioid pain medicine, her oin, or a drug containing fentanyl.

“We are excited to work with our community part ners to bring life-chang ing information to our communities,” said Deb Maggio, HCS Communica tions Champion. “We are confident that together, we will discover data to better

equip us with the informa tion needed to reduce opi oid deaths in Chautauqua County.”

About the HEALing Communities Study

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NS DUH) estimates that 2.1 million Americans have opioid use disorder, yet fewer than 20% of those receive specialty care in a given year. New York State has one of the highest rates of opioid overdose deaths in the nation. A menu of evidence-based practices (EBPs) exists, including opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution programs, prescription opioid safety, FDA-ap proved medications for opioid use disorder, be havioral therapies, and recovery support services. Unfortunately, these EBPs have largely failed to pene trate community settings.

Project Manager Steve Kilburn said, “Naloxone isn’t the end of help and treatment, but for many, it is a necessary and life-sav ing beginning. Prema ture death from any cause is tragic, and our hope is that this campaign will have the effects of raising awareness and reducing overdose deaths in Chau tauqua County.”

As a result, the Nation al Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

(SAMHSA) launched the HEALing Communities Study (HCS) to identify the EBPs that are most ef fective at the local level in preventing and treating OUD. The goal of the study is to reduce opioid-related overdose deaths by 40 per cent. The first phase of the study, which ended June 30, occurred in Cayuga, Columbia, Greene, Erie, Lewis, Putnam, Suffolk, and Ulster Counties. The second phase of the study will now run through De cember 2023 in Broome, Chautauqua, Cortland, Genesee, Monroe, Or ange, Sullivan, and Yates counties. In support of this work, Chautauqua Coun ty is collaborating with local partners on a newly formed coalition to launch three communications campaigns:

Naloxone-Fentanyl Edu cation,

Medication for Opioid Use Disorder Awareness, and

MOUD Treatment Re tention.

Energy

MAYVILLE, NEW YORK -- The Chautauqua County E nergy Commis sion (The Commission) presented the Chautauqua County Energy Reference Guide to the Chautauqua County Legislature at their monthly meeting held on September 28, 2022 in the Legislative Chambers.

Formed in the summer of 2021 through Chautau qua County Legislature Chairman Pierre Cha gnon’s leadership, the Commission was assem bled with the objective of assessing the ever-chan ging energy landscape and sharing findings with Chautauqua County lea dership and other county stakeholders. Members in clude representatives from local energy utilities, en ergy businesses, and other business sectors. The com mission members current ly include Ken Lawton, Hans Auer, Dennis Elsen beck, Martin Glose, Shelly Spacht, Todd Hanson, and Kris Sellstrom.

“The Commission thanks County Executive PJ Wendel, Legislature Chairman Pierre Cha gnon, and Deputy County Executive for Economic Development and CCIDA CEO Mark Geise, for their support of this initiative,” said Ken Lawton, Energy Commission Chair. “Addi tionally, the Chautauqua County Department of Planning & Development’s leadership made this end product possible – with

special thanks to Lau ren Sharp and Courtney Domst.”

The Commission, in collaboration with the Chautauqua County De partment of Planning & Development (CCDPD), has launched an online Energy Reference Guide (Guide). The Guide was developed for the purpose of providing stakeholders with an overview of the current and ever-changing energy landscape and to provide easy access to refe rence information.

“The Energy Commis sion was formed in res ponse to the increased activity associated with energy-related legislation and projects,” said Cha gnon. “I am confident that this resource guide will prove useful to the public, decision-makers, and key stakeholders as they make important energy-related decisions that are bound to have long-term implica tions.”

The Guide, which is by no means an all-inclusive resource, is in fact quite thorough and is intended to provide stakeholders, decision-makers, and the public with the resources they need to navigate the complexities of the ener gy environment from all points of view.

“I am thrilled that the work of the Energy Com mission lead to this incre dible resource,” said Wen del. “It is important that we

have a place where we can go, at the click of a mouse, to do research on any given subject related to energy. I applaud the Legislature, the Energy Commission, and the County’s Depart ment of Planning & De velopment for all of their hard work.”

Launches Energy

The Guide is organized into seven user friendly categories: Outreach & Education; Legislation & State Goals; Resiliency & Sustainability; Resources for Residents; Business Development; Clean En ergy Technology & In frastructure; and Clean Energy Articles & Miscel laneous. These main cate gories are further divided into subcategories to help guide the user through

different green energy to pics. Whether you are a homeowner looking for home energy system infor mation, a business seeking information on energy in centives, or a municipality needing resources to up date your zoning code, the Guide is a useful resource for accessing information about clean energy from many different perspec tives.

The Chautauqua County Energy Reference Guide is available on the CC DPD’s website at https:// planningchautauqua. com/resources/chautau qua-county-energy-refe rence-guide/

For more information on the Reference Guide, please contact Courtney Domst at (716) 336-3623 or domstc@chqgov.com.

Promoting Gun Safety Initiatives

Proper Handling and Storage of Firearms is Key

MAYVILLE, NEW YORK --

The Chautauqua County Board of Health, Chautauqua County De partment of Health and Human Services, Chautau qua County Department of Mental Hygiene, and Chau tauqua County Sheriff’s Of fice want our residents to be safe and well and are joining forces to remind residents safe gun storage is a prior ity in Chautauqua County. Many County residents are owners of firearms; with ownership comes the seri ous responsibility of proper handling and secure stor age of the firearms in a safe manner in your home.

Many groups are coming together to share efforts and to create public educa tion opportunities to ensure the community is well-in formed of resources and best practices.

“Empowering people with the right knowledge and tools is an important step toward keeping individuals, families, and communities safe and healthy,” said Dr. Lillian Ney, County Board of Health President. “When it comes to firearms, pro moting their proper han dling and storage is a critical public health strategy to im prove the health and safety of all.”

If you own a gun, it is crit ically important to follow these safety practices:

1. Keep all firearms un loaded and locked in a safe place, away from children and other unauthorized per sons, when not in use.

2. Store ammunition un der lock and key, separate from firearms, out of the reach and sight of children.

3. Keep keys and combina tions hidden.

4. Teach children never to touch a gun and to immedi ately tell an adult if they see one.

5. Read and understand your firearm owner’s man ual.

6. Follow safe gun han dling practices:

• Treat every firearm as if it were loaded;

• Keep the muzzle point ed in a safe direction – away from people and buildings; • Keep fingers off the trig ger; and • Keep the firearm unload ed when not in use.

Parents and caregivers play a critical role in the im portance of firearm safety with their children by hav ing open and honest conver sations about guns.

“Explain how a gun your kids might see on television or a video game is different from a gun in real life: a gun, in real life, can really hurt or kill real people,” said Christine Schuyler, Coun ty Director of Health and Human Services. “Talk to other family members and the parents or caregivers of friends your children visit about safe gun storage prac tices.”

The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office is work ing with Project Child Safe to try and secure a supply of free firearm safety kits for interested community members. More informa

tion will be made available as details unfold.

Chautauqua County Sher iff Jim Quattrone said, “Gun ownership is a right that we all enjoy and we should take that right seriously. With every right we have a re sponsibility and with guns that is to respect any and all safety measures we can.

Maintaining safe storage of your guns is critical to pro tecting our kids and others in our community.”

Under the Chautauqua County Department of Men tal Hygiene (CCDMH), the Suicide Prevention Alliance of Chautauqua County is dedicated to protecting and promoting life by foster ing shared responsibility through raising awareness and community supports while embracing hopeful ness and resiliency in the Chautauqua region.

Director of Community Mental Hygiene Services Carmelo Hernandez said, “CCDMH and the Alliance are focused on supporting our gun owners by provid ing education and resourc es for safe storage practic es. Knowing that suicide is a leading cause of death, we want to ensure that our county citizens have the awareness to recognize the signs of mental health issues and take it seriously. When someone is thinking about suicide, putting time and space between that firearm can be lifesaving.”

Secure firearm storage is an essential part of home safety. Assume children and teens can find guns. Be sure to store firearms locked, unloaded and separate from ammunition. Michael Hanselman is a USAF Vet eran, NRA and Chautauqua County Pistol Instructor, and owner of Small Arms Pistol Academy, LLC.

Hanselman shared, “As a young child I had the right instructors who helped me understand the importance of firearms and the role they can play in this world. Whether it was used for hunting, target shooting or defense. Firearms in the hands of a properly trained and responsible community is essential.”

If you are experiencing a crisis, contact the 24/7 Chautauqua County Crisis Hotline by calling 1-800724-0461, call/text the Sui cide & Crisis Hotline at 988, or text TALK to 741741 to the Crisis Text Line. You are not alone.

In 2020, gun suicide among children ages 17 and under reached the high est rate in more than 20 years, and firearms be came the leading cause of death among children in the United States. The U.S. is the only country among its peers that has seen an increase in the rate of child firearm deaths in the last two decades. In the U.S. in 2020, 30% of child deaths by firearm were ruled suicides, 5% were unintentional, and 65% of all child firearm deaths were assault.
