"Chautauqua County, like many other regions across the United States, has been impacted by the opioid addiction crisis. On October 2nd, 2023, the Chautauqua County Health Department, the Department of Mental Hygiene, the Jamestown Police Department, and the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office issued a warning to county residents stating, "Four deaths suspected to be drug overdoses occurred over the weekend in the Jamestown vicinity. Officials warned that any street drug should be assumed to contain fentanyl, a highly dangerous opioid that is deadly in tiny quantities." According to the Chautauqua County Community Health Assessment, "the Overdose death rate involving any opioids, in Chautauqua County, age-adjusted rate per 100,000 population is 20.2% (according to Vital Page 6 Records, data as of November 2021). This is higher than the NYS rate of 14.9%."

Cope Foundation 19 held an indoor yard sale at The Family Martial Arts Center building located at 355 Central Ave Fredonia. It was a lot of fun. This opportunity allowed me to realize the impact we have in our community. Our purpose is a necessary mission and we are so thankful for the blessing of the support. I need to give special thanks to the following people who worked so diligently to make this event so successful. Bill Matteson, Kristy Matteson, Georgine Steffan, Doug Essek, Julie Essek(the Commander), Nicole Nickerson, Kat Bailey, Robert Ramsey and several other volunteers. We collected a large amount of money which will go directly to the children of the foundation. We still have a room filled with items. You may contact me personally if you would like to make a reasonable offer on the items.

I was honored to be a guest at the Dunkirk High School Unified basketball game weeks ago. My students from my karate dojo, The Family Martial Arts Center, asked if I would attend their game? I was honored and so very impressed with their individual sportsmanship and support for one another. I have attended a few of the games. On behalf of Cope Foundation19 and The Family Martial Arts Center, we donated a gift package for each of the athlete's. I was asked to speak during intermission and award each athlete their gift.
The love and compassion I witnessed from the staff/coaches is beyond normal. These coaches went way beyond and made sure these children had an opportunity to play a sport equal to any other athlete. These kids played by the exact rules as anyone else. But the kicker is that no matter what team they are on, they assisted their sport mates to obtain success and a basket. They are all winners. I encourage everyone to attend a game in the future. It is an experience you will never recieve unless you participate. In the photo are: Ahmad Mohamad, Bill Matteson(Executive Director of Cope Foundation 19), Izael, Jill Domenico(one of 3 coaches) and the amazing team. |
It has come to the end of our 2 month collection of shoes, sneakers, boots, sandles or any pair of gently worn footwear. If youm have a pair you would like to donate, please reach out to either one of our members, myself @ 716-680-1121 or Amy at aspagg65@gmail.com.
A special Thank you to ERC International, Chautauqua Fitness, and Cummins Engine of Jamestown for their diligent efforts to collect so many shoes, sandles, boots and sneakers.

Cope Foundation 19 attended a Narcan training seminar at Cumming Engine of Lakewood, NY. Then we hosted a COPE Foundation 19 presentation for the employees. It was amazing the knowledge you receive when you listen closely. Narcan is an essential antidote to opiate overdose especially with the high rate of fentanyl and heroin use in our area.
Thank you Jennifer Lundmark for keeping us involved with the employees in your plant

The Symposium event held at Brocton Schools. The 9 hour gathering involved several educational lectures, awareness of the country's opioid pandemic and other knowledgable tools.
I held a very successful presentation for the Fredonia Middle School SADD ( Students Against Destructive Decisions). The impact was not only emotional, but I received much gratitude. Children were seen with tears. The message was real. The problem is real.
I am very grateful for Fredonia school to believe in my purpose, and to allow me to share with their students. This is the start of a county wide program.
Without the support from our County executive, PJ Wendell, Steve Kilburn of the county Mental Hygiene dept, Sheriff Quattrone, Dunkirk Mayor Willie Rosas, Fredonia Mayor Doug Essek, State Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, and the hard work from the Cope board members, this opportunity would never have occured. A special mention to Cummins Engine, ECR International, Tim Hortons, Harvest Chapel Church and The Family Martial Arts Center. This community is a generous community.
