In 2011, the Oce for the Aging Senior Nutrition Program, in collaboration with the Southern Chautauqua County Meals on Wheels program, awarded the contract to WCA Hospital to prepare meals for homebound seniors throughout southern Chautauqua County. All meals are now prepared daily at Jones Memorial Health Center including hot noon meals, double meals (lunch and dinner), supplemental meals, and frozen weekend meals. is collaborative eort has enabled Meals on Wheels to cut costs and deliver more meals for fewer dollars. 75% of the meals WCA prepares are delivered within een minutes, meaning seniors are receiving hot, fresh meals right to their doors. In 2010, Meals on Wheels served 115,000 hot and cold meals to elderly residents in Southern Chautauqua County. A er WCA took over the preparation of the meals, because of the improvement in food quality, the demand increased dramatically. In 2011, the kitchen began preparing 600 meals daily, necessitating the purchase of this gas convection oven which oers greater capacity and eciency. “ anks to this generous grant from the Johnson Foundation, WCA is now able to meet the growing demand for Meals on Wheels,” says Christina Reynolds, Director of Hospitality Services for WCA Hospital. “ is is a tremendous community collaboration which will greatly bene t area seniors for many years to come.” e Johnson Foundation provides funding to worthy causes that seek improving and providing a be er quality of life in Jamestown and Chautauqua County in accordance with the terms of the will of the late John Al ed Johnson.

Edited by Margie E. Burke Difficulty : Medium HOWST TORI SOLVE:DERS CORNER Week of 4/23/12 - 4/29/12 Since its inception, Chautauqua Striders has made the welfare of children, youth, and families in Jamestown and the surrounding area its ongoing mission. One of the rst programs designed to oer support was Project REACH (Reaching Each Adult and Child in need of Help), speci cally targeted towards Jamestown families in crisis. Focusing on the needs of both individual students and their immediate families, help and guidance are available to improve the quality of their everyday lives. Currently, there are approximately 69 students and 35 households receiving advice and support. Project REACH makes every eort to give youth opportunities for broadening their horizons, opening the doors to learning, and developing new skills in order to guide them to a promising future. According to research by the Search Institute, there are 40 assets necessary for children and youth to thrive and succeed. Divided into two main categories essential for building strong adults, these assets can be de ned as external and internal. Some examples of external assets are providing Solution to Crossword: support and empowerment, se ing boundaries and expectations, and using time constructively. Commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies, and positive self-esteem are RACE SCARAB THE representative of internal assets. ECHO MANAGE RAT To support the 40(Answer Developmental appears Assets, elsewhere Project REACH oers many dierent activities, AMANDABYNES ASH individually enriching andin fun, this but issue) also centered on community service where students PER ERA EMPT Y are able to know the joy of giving back to others. In addition, in order to further their educational possibilities, tours are arranged to local colleges and universities so students G I MLET EASEL of Project REACH can get a rst-hand look at what they might expect and experience in a CopyrightPAPACY 2012 by The PuzzleCOACH Syndicate college or trade school se ing. OBESE FLOPHOUSE Another facet of Project REACH, in coordination with the YMCA, is the YMEN group, comprised SLAM EL I TE GN AW of young men from high school. Meeting on a weekly basis, discussions center on issues relevant TELEGRAPH WAIVE to their everyday lives including topics ranging from nancial literacy and employability, to dealing TRESS BANTER with drugs and violence, to encouraging respectful communication with others. Building trusting KOREA HERESY relationships, reinforcing accountability, and gaining knowledge for the future, these teens can ACORN EAT SPA move forward be er prepared to meet life’s challenges. PEA D I ANEKEATON A er a referral is received from a partnering agency, the Project REACH coordinator makes PAS ARR I VE RARE home visits for all students coming into the program. During these, he is not only able to explain what REACH has to oer and get permission for children and youth to participate but ANT MEMBER CR EW he can also get a sense of what individual family situations are like and provide links to available Solution to Sudoku community services and resources speci cally targeted to each unique circumstance. He has helped families in crisis through many diculties that might otherwise tear them apart by connecting them to resources and people in the Jamestown Public Schools, the Department of Social Services, Department of Mental Health, the Safe House, Oce of Probation, and Legal Services. In addition, referrals are made to other Chautauqua Striders services including tutoring and mentoring. Chautauqua Striders also provides support and guidance for students assigned to Jamestown Public School’s Alternative Placement Program (APP). For a variety of reasons, these middle and high school youth have been unable to adapt to the expectations of the regular school day and nd themselves most at risk. e APP liaisons meet with these individuals and their families, making home visits and appropriate agency referrals. ey also encourage participation in other programs designed to help these students make healthy choices and work towards re-acclimating them to the regular school day and helping them on the road to academic and personal success. At times, caring for young people does not involve agencies and connective services; sometimes it means helping them feel good about themselves as they continue to grow and mature. Sometimes success and self-esteem are measured in more immediate ways. Chautauqua Striders’ high school mentoring and APP coordinators are working together to provide donated prom dresses to those young ladies who might not otherwise be able to aord them. Donations of beautiful dresses have poured in – dresses of every imaginable color, shape, and size! In fact, due to overwhelming response, this opportunity has been extended to Southwestern, Falconer, and Frewsburg High Schools. Esquire Cleaners has graciously agreed to dry clean and press each. Gowns will be selected on April 26 and May 3; dreams will come true, as high school senior women will be able to choose a gorgeous dress of their own at no cost. Chautauqua Striders would like to thank all donors for their generosity! For more information on either REACH or APP, please call Chautauqua Striders at 488-2203.
