Perrysburg town board talks high speed internet

By Phil Palen Press Reporter

PERRYSBURG — The possibility of high speed internet service in Perrysburg was discussed at the July 10 town board meeting.

Shannon Davis, account executive with DFT Communications of Fredonia, was invited to address the board about the fiber optic cable running through the town along Route 39.

Davis said wireless service has been installed on the Persia side of downtown Gowanda, courtesy of a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission

through Southern Tier West Planning & Development Board. This free public Wi-Fi has an optimal range of about 300 yards from the building-mounted transmitters, and can provide better service than either DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or coaxial cable, Davis said. As of now, there are no connections to the fiber optic cable in Perrysburg, but DFT could contract with businesses wishing to tie into the system if deemed feasible.

Highway Superintendent Daniel Stang said repairs to the sewer system on North Road will start in mid-July. Northrup Construction of Ellicottville will repair a leak in one of the system’s lift stations.

Stang said his crew has been skid paving, mowing roadsides and hauling stone for chip paving. Repairs on lower Prospect Street are going out for bid and a contract should be awarded this summer. The road will be closed temporarily during construction, which will extend into the fall school term, he said.

Residents of the Prospect Street fire district will be receiving letters from the town clerk advising them of an upcoming public meeting on whether the Perrysburg or Gowanda fire department will be the primary responder to calls in their area.

Contract terms for fire protection with Gowanda are in the process of negotiation. Currently, Perrysburg pays Gowanda to handle fire calls, while Perrysburg responds to medical emergencies, although both companies will attend calls. Councilman Richard Gabel said that a meeting of Prospect Street residents, municipal heads and fire chiefs will be held to determine the length of the contract and its terms.

Town Justice Lori Dankert closed 34 vehicle and traffic cases, two penal law cases and two animal control cases in June, with $4,134 in fines and surcharges reported to the state comptroller. Clerk Tamara Utley collected $2,127 in fees in June, with the town’s share of $1,165.

In other business, the board approved payment from the following accounts: General Fund, $7,372.12; Highway Fund, $67,388.65; Capital Projects Fund, $994.50; Gowanda Prospect Street Water District, $11.42; Perrysburg Central Water District, $2,987.47; Versailles Lighting District, $522.36; Special Residential District, including lighting and waste disposal, $1,144.44; Special Sewer District, $1,029.69; and Versailles Water District, $3,596.23. Expenditures for June totaled $85,046.88.

The next regular Perrysburg Town Board meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 14 at the town hall, 10460 Peck Hill Road, County Route 58.

Trinity UCC sends over 30,000 bottles following 18-month collection drive GOWANDA — As part of a mission and 18-month collection drive, the Trinity United Church of Christ has sent over 30,000 bottles to the Malawi Project and Matthew 25: Ministries, which in turn send them — along with other supplies — both nationally and internationally to those in need.

Courtesy of community support, the bottles showed up at the church’s doorstep and dedicated members cleaned, dried, boxed and shipped the bottles.

Mission officials said they are appreciative of the community’s support in their endeavor and have also had assistance from local churches and groups. Bottles have come from Gowanda, the surrounding communities and as far away as Buffalo.

Members have decided to bring the project to a close to better focus attention closer to home. In the near future, Trinity will choose a new goal that has a direct impact on its neighbors in Gowanda.

For anyone interested in “picking up the torch” for the bottle collection cause, the address is Matthew 25:Ministries, 11060 Kenwood Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting Trinity at 532-3004 or email trinityuccgow@yahoo.com.

Haskell sisters, Jones, Sheffield named to all-state softball teams Franklinville posted two players, sister Ally and Dani Haskell, on the New York State Class D all-state softball teams, while Ellicottville and Cattaraugus-Little Valley had one each.

Ally Haskell, a junior pitcher, made the first team in Class D and Dani Haskell, a freshman catcher, made the fifth team team.

C-LV senior outfielder Katie Jones made the Class D fifth team, as did Ellicottville freshman catcher Jessie Sheffield.

All-state teams are chosen by the New York State Sportswriters Association.

In other post-season scholastic honors: n Cattaraugus-Little Valley High School has earned New York State Public High School Athletic Association recognition as a “School of Excellence.”

School of Excellence winners must have at least 75 percent of their varsity teams qualify as a Scholar-Athlete team. Scholar-Athlete teams require 75 percent of the team’s rosters grade point average be 90.00 or above.

Nineteen New York schools earned “School of Distinction” with 100 percent Scholar-Athlete teams.

According to the NYSPHSAA, the purpose of the “School of Distinction” and “School of Excellence” awards is to unite varsity coaches in challenging their teams to achieve a statewide honor. NYSPHSAA’s Scholar-Athlete team award was initiated in the 1991-1992 school year. The School of Distinction award, established in 2002-03 and the School of Excellence award, established this year, are sponsored by Pupil Benefits Plan.

Two former Olean Oilers finished their collegiate baseball careers in the best way possible: Knowing professional opportunities awaited soon, they first helped their school win its first College World Series.

One new Oiler played a big part in Florida’s NCAA Championship season. Another Gator joined the Oilers amid Florida’s run, watching his college teammates from Western New York.

After winning the College World Series, former Oilers catcher Mark Kolozsvary and pitcher Frank Rubio have begun their pro careers weeks after the MLB Draft. Sophomore Kirby McMullen shipped off to Olean days after the CWS in Omaha and met classmate Cameron Weinberger, already playing for the Oilers after a redshirt year.

But the connections between Florida and Olean don’t end at the teams’ rosters. Florida assistant coach Brad Weitzel is the brother of Oilers coach Jay Weitzel and the two spent a combined 33 years scouting for the Minnesota Twins. Jay’s son Jerico, an Oilers assistant coach, lettered in baseball at Florida in ‘09 and ‘10.

n McMullen made an immediate impact with the ‘17 Oilers. In four games (through last Wednesday), he already has four doubles, a home run and six RBI, going 10-for-17. Primarily a pitcher in college (3-0, 5.32 ERA in 22 innings at UF), McMullen earned the win in his first start against Genesee July 3, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits over 5⅓ innings.

“He’ll be a starter but he can also hit,” Brad Weitzel said. “I told Jay he’s going to be your 3-hole hitter. He’ll play right (field) and every fifth or sixth day he’ll start on the mound. But he can really hit so that’s going to help those guys a lot.”

Weinberger has been one of Olean’s steadiest arms this season, with a 2.84 ERA over 31⅔ innings over five starts.

Making the College World Series six times in the last eight years, Florida sends its redshirts off to summer teams earlier than those on the playoff roster.

“When you get in the playoffs, like Regionals, Super-Regionals and the World Series, you can only have a 27-man roster,” Brad Weitzel explained. “We have 30 kids, so we take these three kids that are not going to play, we need to get them off to summer ball right now and get them going. We just finished out here in Omaha but (Weinberger, at the time) already has 24 innings under his belt on Olean, so he’ll get 50, probably 55 innings this

The pioneers of Slow Pitch Softball

By Mark Benton

Sports Correspondent

On Sunday, July 30, a group of former players in the Gowanda men's slow pitch softball league (1974-1997) will gather at the “new” Gateway Park for an “old” timers game and reunion picnic.

Although a local organized softball league commenced some 43 years ago, there were several players that had played on other teams well before the Gowanda league threw their first pitch.

In the mid 1960s, a group of high school and junior high students organized a league called the PCAA. The teams consisted of Peanut Park, Col-

lins, Armes Court and Allen Street.

The Peanut Park team actually erected its own softball diamond next to the Gowanda Builders. Today that plot of land is home to Johnson's Plumbing & Heating. Other fields such as the Collins Town Park, Thatcher Brook field, a makeshift diamond at the intersection of Allen and Seneca Street and the field called Witheralls all hosted games. The first contests that were played usually coincided with Easter vacation in April and lasted well into July.

Many of the games were played with less than nine players on each team. It was not uncommon to have a team with just seven players on the field. Some-

GOWANDA — The recent passing of Jackie Schindler brought many relatives back home to pay their respects. Included in that group were several former outstanding Gowanda athletes.

Jackie's oldest son, Kevin Schindler, returned from Texas. Nicknamed the “Maddog,” Kevin was regarded as one of the best all-around amateur athletes (baseball, basketball, football and track) to come out of Gowanda. Kevin was a 1974 graduate of Cardinal Mindszenty

High School in Dunkirk, where he led the Monarchs baseball team to the 1974 Georgetown Cup as the No. 1 Catholic High School in Western New York.

Son-in-law Bob Zeman and his wife, Laurie (Schindler) Zeman, returned to Gowanda from Sarasota, Fla. Bob was a three-sport athlete (football, basketball and track) and a 1975 graduate of Gowanda Central School. In the spring of 1975, Zeman, who stood 5-foot10-inches, high jumped 6-feet-3-inches to set the new school record. No Panther track and field athlete has come close to jumping that high in the past 42 years.

times, a player may have been recruited to play in a game that had just come to watch. But the games played on even without umpires. And yes, there were some disagreements from time to time on calls such as safe and out. The league did not use a pitch count so a player could not draw a walk to first base.

As the players grew older and graduated from high school, that league had all but disappeared by the late 1960s.

However, within a few years, several of those former PCAA players and a few other Gowanda area athletes found their way onto the roster of the South Shore Inn that played in the new Southtowns slow pitch softball league that began

play in the early 1970s. Included in that group was Jim Vogtli, Tim Bobsein, Jon Phillips, Sr., Tom Cain, Ed Prince, Brad Homan, Eric Schauer and Bob Lennertz.

The team was very good and even won a league championship.

When the Gowanda softball league began play in May 1974, all but one of the South Shore players were members of a team sponsored by Shorty's Tavern in Collins. With their experience and talent, they won the first Gowanda slow pitch softball championship later that year by defeating the Sweda's Hippies in a three game series.

Nephew Doug Schindler was an all-star in football, basketball and track.

He now resides in Springville but is a practicing chiropractor with offices in Ellicottville and Gowanda. Doug played an integral role as one of the team's top scorers and rebounders on the 1983-84 GCS varsity basketball team that won the CCIAC Division I championship.

During the three years Doug was a starter on the varsity basketball team, the Panthers posted an overall record of 39-20, playing against high-ranked teams including Olean, Dunkirk and Fredonia.

Len Layhew, a 1962 Gowanda Central School graduate, returned from Monroe, Mich. to pay his final respects to his sister-in-law, Jackie. Lenny competed in football, wrestling and base-

ball while he attended Gowanda. He was an outstanding wrestler during the middle of Ernie Bareham's run of seven sectional championship at GCS. Lenny was also an all-star on the football team that claimed a share of the Southwestern Conference championship in the fall of 1961.

IN OTHER area sports news: n Longtime Gowanda Country Club member Gary Keppel recorded a holein-one on July 4 on the Collins course.

He used an 8 iron on the 156-yard, par three, 13th hole to accomplish the feat.

The shot was no fluke. Keppel has been one of the best amateur golfers in the area for the past 40 years.

summer and he’ll come back a whole different animal just from pitching.” n Rubio, a senior right-handed relief pitcher and 2014 Oiler, went to the San Francisco Giants in the 29th Round (876 overall). Rubio made one CWS appearance, tossing 3⅔ innings in relief during Florida’s loss to TCU June 23. In 30⅓ innings over 24 games, Rubio had an ERA of 4.15, two saves and 20 strikeouts.

A junior, Kolozsvary happened to play a position of tremendous depth for the Gators, alongside All-Americans Mike Rivera (6th round, Cleveland) and JJ Schwarz (38th round, Tampa Bay). He was pushed into more playing time by injury this season and Weitzel said his effectiveness in a bigger role can be traced back to last summer in Olean. A catcher for last summer’s juggernaut Oilers team, Kolozsvary played his way into a seventh-round draft selection by the Cincinnati Reds (197 overall) and signed his pro contract last week.

THE GOWANDA PRESS

“We have two All-American catchers and we have Kolozsvary,” Brad Weitzel said. “The one catcher broke a bone in his hand, so he was out and we put Kolozsvary in and we never missed a beat. He did great. But I sent him up to Olean last year so he could play every day and get his at-bats and that really worked out for him because he came back with a lot more confidence and that showed up when he had to catch in the spring here. He did an unbelievable job for us.”

He hit .276 with .440 slugging in 46 games (35 starts) after playing a combined 32 games his first two years.

“He’s going to catch in the big leagues like 10 years. That’s my opinion,” Weitzel said. “I scouted, I was in pro baseball for 16 years, that’s kind of what I did and he’s going to catch in the big leagues, I think. He’s really good. He’s going to be a backup catcher in the big leagues, which is a pretty good job with the money they make these days.”

Pow Wow scheduled for this weekend in Salamanca SALAMANCA — A nationwide and international audience will once again convene in Salamanca this weekend for one of the most grand and enthusiastic celebrations of Native American culture.

The 2017 Marvin “Joe” Curry Veterans Pow Wow will take place at Veterans Memorial Park on Broad Street from Friday, July 14 through Sunday, July 16.

The annual three-day event will feature a series of dance and drum competitions, including what is billed as North America’s biggest Smoke Dance contest, with competitors coming from across the United States and Canada. Over $100,000 in prize money will be awarded.

The Pow Wow is named in honor of Marvin “Joe” Curry, a member of the Seneca Nation of Indians’ Snipe Clan, who led a long and distinguished career of military service in the United States Navy.

“In bringing this annual celebration to our Allegany Territory each year, we honor our culture, our veterans, including the memory of Joe Curry, and the spirit of community that exists across Indian Country,” said Seneca Nation Councillor

Rick Jemison, chairman of this year’s Pow Wow committee.

This year’s Pow Wow will feature the return of the Cultural Tent, where attendees can make authentic crafts and learn about Seneca and Native culture, including many of the different dance styles that will be featured throughout the weekend. Also making an appearance will be the newly crowned Miss Indian World 2017 Raven Swamp from the Mohawks of Kahnawake Territory in Quebec.

On Friday, admission is $5 for all ages.

Veterans and military personnel, with valid ID, and children age 4 and younger will be admitted free of charge.

Grand Entry is scheduled at 7 p.m. on Friday. Grand Entry begins at noon on Saturday and noon on Sunday. Gates will open at 10 a.m. Winners will be announced on Sunday evening, before the conclusion of the Pow Wow. Daily admission is $10 for adults and two-day passes are available for $15.

Old Times Remembered...

Caroline Road, 1938 Caroline Road in Gowanda was just starting to be developed when this photo looking east from Seneca Street was taken in 1938. The area encompassing Caroline, Seneca and Allen streets between Buffalo Street and the west village line was a dairy farm owned by Mayor Otto J. Gutekunst, who operated the Gowanda Creamery. The brick house across from McDonald’s, now a New York State community residence, was his home. Only two houses existed on Caroline in 1938, numbers 61 and 62. The street was surveyed and lots laid out by engineer Edwin Cotton. Rows of maple trees were transplanted by George Luine the previous winter.

The Gowanda historical museum is open Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. at Chestnut and Commercial streets.
