Jones Memorial donates $20,000 to area food pantries WELLSVILLE — Representatives from Jones Memorial Hospital toured the county and delivered monetary donations recently to 17 area food pantries. The road tour was part of an initiative to re-invest wellness dollars raised through the Ridgewalk & Run and the GLOW Run 5K back into the community, Jones officials said. In 2023, $10,000 was donated to area food pantries in time for the holidays. This year, after raising more than $27,000 at the 2024 Ridgewalk event, the
wellness committee at Jones Memorial earmarked $20,000 for food pantries again — double last year’s landmark donation. Brenda Mong-Szabo, vice president of specialty services and chairman of the Wellness Committee, expressed her gratitude to the community. “It’s because of the incredible support of community and our event partners that we are able to give back in such a direct and meaningful way,” she said. “We realize that something as basic as
putting food on the table is a struggle for many right in our own neighborhoods and we wanted to help alleviate that burden.” Jim Helms, president and CEO of the hospital, further expressed the hospital’s commitment to the initiative. “We are honored and humbled at the trust placed in us by the community,” he said. “We don’t take this responsibility lightly. Food insecurity is a leading concern identified in our community health Food Pantries continued on PAGE 3

Cold, wind and some prize fish at the th 35 Greater Wellsville Trout Derby BY KATHRYN ROSS
Photos by Kathryn Ross what warmer during the 35th Annual Lions Club Trout Derby along the Genesee River in the Wellsville area — but the wind was still chilly.
WELLSVILLE — The big winners at the Lions Club’s 35th Greater Wellsville Trout Derby are an Angelica woman and the Wellsville community. Once again, by the end of the event, the Community Fish was not hooked. Its value had climbed to $6,304 by the time the ticket sales came to an end April 27, just prior to the end of the Derby. Laura Stafford’s name was drawn from the bin stuffed with 6,304 entries. The Angelica woman won half of
the total — $3,152. She was not present for the drawing and will pick up her prize later this week. The other half of the prize money goes to the Lions Club and will help finance the many local projects and charities it supports for the benefit of the community. “It was a good Derby,” said the Lions Club’s Dean Arnold, who co-chaired the event with Bruce Hand. Both are longtime veterans of the event. Hand said five or six put the event together each year and volunteers from the club man
it over the weekend. Lions member Al Mosher said it is an exhausting event for volunteers starting at 4 a.m. in the morning and not ending until early evening Saturday and late afternoon Sunday. Ken Didion, who compiles statistics for the event, reported: • 1,292 anglers registered (30 on Sunday). • 97 fish were caught (450 tagged fish were stocked). • $4,900 was paid out ($50,000 was sponsored).
It may be little, but the fish earned Chad D’Arcy of Scio $25.
