Citizenship Award given to Jordan Young

Jordan Young, a senior at Gowanda Central School, is this week’s featured Youth Citizenship Award Recipient. Dr. Anthony Evans, Executive Director of the Cattaraugus County Youth Bureau states that Jordan, the son of Julie and David Young of Gowanda, was chosen based on his positive influence on fellow students, dedication to school activities and eagerness to help others.

Erie County Legislator John J. Mills has announced announce that Annette Gernatt has been named the Citizen of the Month for December 2014. Gernatt was the Library Director of the Hulbert Library of the Town of Concord for 30 years, greatly improving programming during her long tenure. “I was honored to work alongside Annette for many years, helping to support the library’s needs. She has a true passion for the library and her community and it shows in everything she does. For many years we collaborated on the annual hot dog roast and raised

several thousand dollars for the library. Thanks to Annette’s dedication to the library, others have followed her lead, ensuring that her legacy of success will continue,” said Chairman Mills. “It is my honor to name Annette Gernatt as Citizen of the Month for December and thank her for everything she has done for our community.” Gernatt spent 47 years working with the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library System before retiring in 2013. She received the Appreciation Award for Service to the Community from by American Legion Post 431 in 1999, and was honored

by the Library Board in 2013 when they commissioned a portrait of her to be displayed in the library. During her years as library director she was instrumental in modernizing the branch, introducing computers, the Internet, and digital items to the library. She has always been focused on having the best services and materials available to users. In addition, Gernatt is an avid knitter and has used that skill to knit baby blankets for newborns, and prayer shawls for people in the community suffering from serious illness.

County reports employment success Twenty-three people, who were receiving welfare benefits are now employed, reports the Cattaraugus County Department of Social Services. Social Services staff report that in November, 23 county residents received training, work experience and a chance to get high school equivalency diplomas when necessary. Those clients were assisted by department staff in order to help them enter the workforce to reduce or eliminate their need for public assistance.

Staff also assisted clients with soft skills such as proper work place conduct, punctuality and other areas that impact successful job placement and retention. “Public assistance is temporary help for people in difficult situations,” said Social Services Commissioner Dan Piccioli. “The sooner we can move people back to self-sufficiency, the better for all, including tax payers,” he said. Those in need of assistance, can call 701-3500.

State bill aiding fire and EMS volunteers lauded

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill that would provide benefits to volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers when they are injured in the line of duty while assisting at an emergency before an officer in command arrives at the scene. Previous to the passage of the law, volunteers who provided emergency services outside of their regular jurisdiction -- before “an officer in command” arrived on the scene of the emergency – could be denied benefits covering their injuries. The legislation, sponsored by Assemblyman William B. Magnarelli and Senator Joseph A. Griffo amends the general municipal law to address Volunteer Firefighters’ Benefit Law (VFBL) and Volunteer

Ambulance Workers’ Benefit Law (VAWBL) coverage for those volunteers who provide emergency services before an officer in command arrives at the site. VFBL and VAWBL provide coverage similar to workers' compensation for injuries sustained in the line of duty. Robert McConville, President of the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) which championed the passage, expressed thanks to the govenor and bill sponsors. McConville said, said, “Volunteer emergency response is dangerous. This was a quirk in the law that has now been addressed, making it permissive for a local government entity and fire company to authorize coverage for volunteers responding in

these circumstances, thereby encouraging the best possible emergency response service to the citizens of the state. New York’s volunteer first responders and their families deserve to know they have this protection when they are responding to emergency calls where every second can mean the difference between life and death”. Bill No. A00400/S03590 states: In the event that an active volunteer firefighter or volunteer ambulance worker provides services when there is no jurisdictional officer in command present, such volunteer firefighter or volunteer ambulance worker shall be entitled to coverage under the VFBL or the VAWBL during the time such services are rendered.

New Finance head at TLC Officials at TLC Health Network have announced the appointment of John Eichner, CPA as Director of Finance. Eichner has been tasked with managing the overall finances of the health system and providing oversight of the Finance and Patient Accounts departments. Eichner is a Fellow of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, has more than 15 years experience in the field, and most recently served as Controller at Erie County Medical Center (ECMC). John Galati, TLC Health Network’s CEO, said he and

the administrative directors are looking forward to working with the newest member of the team. “We are very fortunate to have attracted someone of his caliber to our health system,” says Galati. “The experience he has amassed in prior positions with other prominent organizations throughout Western New York should serve TLC well as we continue reorganizing for future growth and success.” Prior to his most recent position at ECMC, Eichner served in several key financial posts with Olean General Hospital and Upper Allegheny Health

System. He also obtained significant professional experience on staff with Lumsden McCormick, LLP. Eichner holds a Bachelors of Science in Accounting from the State University of New York College at Fredonia and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license from New York State. His professional activities include being a committee member of the New York Society of CPAs and a Chapter President and Yerger Award Winner for the Healthcare Financial Management Association.

All the best for you and yours Here we are, on the cusp of yet another new year. As we post new calendars on our walls, we pause and reflect on the year past. While certainly a tumultuous twelve months internationally, we remain fortunate in our enjoyment of peaceful valleys and hills and the commitment and support of neighbors and organizations who value the spirit of community. Oh there have been problems, some of us got flooded, yet again. Some of us managed to be included into the very edge of the November snow storm. But we came through, as we have before, and probably, will have to again. It has been a busy year here at the Gowanda News as well. We came under new ownership and the paper went to a larger format giving us many more pages devoted to color photographs. One thing that has not changed, nor will it, is our commitment to report on the communities we serve. But, we need your help as well. See something you think should be covered? Give us a call. Know someone who should be celebrated on these pages? Drop us an e-mail. Better yet, stop in to our office, we love to meet our readers. From all of us at the Gowanda News: Mary, who is on the mend, Judy, Maureen, Brenda, Larry and Megan, we wish you all the happiest of New Year's coupled with health, happiness and good reading throughout 2015.

Senate Bill 5509-C creates of a statewide online and blended learning program. It addresses the need for new technology and teaching systems to provide students with access to unique courses and innovative instructional methods. Virtual learning programs include online courses as well as blended learning initiatives that combine both a physical location with online resources. They provide schools with cost-effective opportunities for students to access coursework and educational resources otherwise not available. “Virtual learning systems provide school districts, teachers, and students with new and cre-

This includes opportunities to directly connect students with subject-matter experts from thousands of miles away, or to provide access to college preparatory or career-specific courses that were not previously available. Virtual learning initiatives open up a wide range

these courses. The new legislation directs the Commissioner of Education to establish an Online Learning Advisory Council and to make recommendations regarding the development and delivery of such services. The council would be tasked with sharing their findings and recommendations with the Legislature and the Governor. A statewide online and blended learning program must address a range of issues including, but not limited to, broadband access, funding, administrative barriers, and the identification of academic programming that is well-suited for delivery via online and electronic means. “Our schools are educating the future leaders and innovators of our world. We must provide them with the learning methods, technology, and courses that will enable them to develop the skills they need to compete in a fast-paced environment,” said Young.

of opportunities, especially for rural school districts that face fiscal and geographic challenges,” said Senator Young. Among these methods is the concept of the “flipped classroom.” Before arriving in the classroom, students watch video lectures that were recorded by their teachers. The discussion and application of the lecture material takes place in the classroom, rather than as a traditional homework assignment. Virtual learning also creates opportunities for school districts to provide access to courses through cooperation with other schools, that they would not be able to offer otherwise. Students may be able to take a wider range of advanced placement and other college preparatory classes. Similar programs have been successfully implemented in parts of Upstate New York and New York City, and there is a need for a statewide program to encourage the delivery of

Strauss’ experience an asset for Eagles Senior believes team has played, practiced better than record shows

By Marquel Slaughter SPORTS REPORTER

It has not been a long time since the Eagles had high hopes for a season and what they could accomplish in the postseason. Leading the way for North Collins on the hardwood is Aaron Strauss. He is the senior captain of Rob Catalino’s boys basketball team and has been around long enough to experience the ups and downs that the program has been through over the recent years. As the Eagles head into the winter break with losses in all three of their earlyseason match ups, as captain, Strauss stressed that the Eagles’ current place in the standings is not indicative of the way he has seen the team prepare the first month of practices and accepted the challenge as one of the team leaders to help turn it around. “It’s a lot of pressure,” said Strauss. “A lot of responsibility. In the first week of practice we looked good. Everyone has theirs ups and downs.” Strauss got his first taste of varsity basketball experience during his freshman year. He said he was called up to witness North Collins’ run to the sectional title game. DAVE ECKHARDT

Aaron Strauss has been a regular varsity basketball player at North Collins since his sophomore year. He’s in his senior year now.

Gowanda grapplers off to good start Black Knights to 2014-15 campaign improve to 3-0 on the hardwood

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The Gowanda varsity high school wrestling program has had its share of success during the early part of the 2014-15 schedule. The Panthers have already compiled several wins with just and one close loss in dual meet competition. On Saturday, Dec. 13, Gowanda traveled to Springville and participated in the Griffins’ first annual dual meet tournament. The Panthers made history as they were the first team to win the inaugural first place trophy. “We were able to defeat large schools such as Williamsville East, North Tonawanda and Amherst along with Wilson and Springville,” head coach Mark Leous reported. “Our team had six wrestlers that went undefeated throughout the entire day.”

DAVE ECKHARDT

Cameron Whalen and the Gowanda wrestling team have dropped just one match so far this season — a narrow defeat to Maple Grove. In that group of “perfect” Panthers were: Chelton Bellinger, Aaron Henhawk, Ethan Francis, Josh Balzer, Lucas McKeever and Chris Hammond. Other top performers for the Blue and White grapplers included Mike Liskiewicz, Dave Poff, Brandon Arrigo, Dalton Mills, Charlie

Valone, Cameron Whalen and Devin Richter. The undefeated Panthers moved on and ventured down to Bemus Point to face Maple Grove on Dec. 16. However, Gowanda suffered its first dual meet loss of the season as the Red Dragons posted a 38-33 win. “Lucas McKeever won a

huge match against Brian Westerdahl by the score of 6-5,” Leous noted. “Westerdahl went to the New York State championship meet last year.”

See “Wrestling” on page B2

Another game, another onesided victory. That has been the story with the Silver Creek High School varsity boys basketball team so far this season. The Black Knights’ latest conquest was an 88-70 pounding against Cardinal O’Hara High School from the Monsignor Martin League. The non-league contest was played in Silver Creek on Dec. 17. Following the opening tip, both teams came out firing up shots in the first quarter. The two teams combined to score a total of 47 points with the Black Knights holding a slim 26-21 advantage. “We made some personnel adjustments in the second quarter and played better defense against them,” was the reason Silver Creek head coach Rob Genco cited for his team’s ability to hold the visiting Hawks to

nine points in the second frame and take a commanding 50-30 lead to the break. “Some of their players that we didn’t figure would score many points were lighting it up in the first half, so we had to play better defense against them,” Genco said. “We also underestimated their team speed.” However, it didn’t matter that several of the Cardinal O’Hara players were finding the back of the net on occasion because they could not stop the Silver Creek offensive attack. Center Bill Brooks was a force once again. The 6-foot-7 senior scored 36 points, hauled down 19 rebounds, dished out 11 assists and had eight blocked shots. Teammate Trevon Thompson also had a very good game. The junior forward meshed 25 points. Silver Creek never let up in the second half and increased its lead to 25 points after three quarters. Cardinal O’Hara did manage to outscore the home team 22-15 over the final eight minutes of the contest, but that was long after the outcome was decided.

Strauss sees upside Hornets top Brocton in boys hoops in young Eagles By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

“Strauss” from page B1

DAVE ECKHARDT

Aaron Strauss has a nice offensive touch, too. “It was exciting for me. It’s always a fun experience to be pulled up to varsity,” he said. “It was also nerve-wracking.” He then contributed for an Eagles roster that captured nine victories the following season, which was ended by a 42-40 loss to Ellicottville in the first round of the postseason. North Collins was only able to earn one victory during Strauss’ junior season last winter. “We knew there was going to be a drop off,” he said. “We lost some good players.” Catalino noted during the preseason how his North Collins team will have to score a lot more than it was able to during the 2013-14 campaign if it wanted to become a competitor as a Class D program. The Eagles had trouble to even score 40 points last season, but things quickly changed in the season opener with a 54-point performance during a loss to West Valley. North Collins would then go on to lose a competitive contest against C school Buffalo Science and a tough defeat in the hands of Health Sciences, which made it to Buffalo State College to compete in the sectional

The Forestville varsity boys basketball team needed a strong fourth quarter to pull away from a stubborn Brocton team in a nonleague game played on the Hornets’ court on Dec.16. The final score was 49-40. “We were able to pressure them throughout the game with our press and half court traps, which led to a lot of turnovers,” is how head coach Ralph Jackson described the Hornets’ strategy in picking up their second win of the season. The Hornets jumped out to a 14-9 first-quarter lead and led by four at intermission. However, the visiting Bulldogs chipped away after halftime and only trailed by two when the final period began. Forestville then put together a strong showing offensively by outscoring Brocton 18-11 over the final eight minutes of the contest to seal the victory. “Kalvin Stanbro came off the bench and played very well for us. It was great to see that from a sophomore

After home and home losses to Panama, plus another defeat at the hands of Westfield, this win pushed the Hornet’s season record to 2-3. They had also defeated Falconer in the consolation game at the Westfield Winter Classic a few weeks earlier.

semifinals last fall. “We’re definitely better than that. We started off rough but we’re going to pull it together soon,” said Strauss. While there may be many methods to get the Eagles on the right track, Strauss is looking forward to cutting down the turnovers and giving themselves more scoring opportunities. He would much rather a posses“Wrestling” from page B1 sion be ended with a missed shot than a giveaway. “We won’t be able to move the ball successfully [if we] get it stolen and things like that,” Strauss said. “I want to be able to move the ball like a good team can. Be able to be in sync like a good team can.” With the help of Matt Parnitske showing leadership beside Strauss to lead North Collins as captains, Strauss likes what he sees from some of the younger guys, which should be a good sign in the Eagles’ DAVE ECKHARDT potential to rack up wins in the future. “We have some good play- Gowanda will participate in the Dunkirk Duals. ers,” said Strauss, pointing out players like Dylan Mercado. “They’re really Mckeever should have a Dec. 19 and 20.

Their record to date was 3-0 before dropping a decision to Nichols, the No. 3 ranked large school in WNY, on Dec. 19. They will also play Maple Grove in the Jamestown Showcase and Bennett High School during the first week of January before returning

to league action. In the latest WNY small school poll, the Black Knights are ranked No. 6. Genco is hoping his team can continue to progress and challenge for the top spot before the season is over. However, the Black Knights have several challenges ahead of them; namely Salamanca and Randolph.

Gowanda girls, boys sweep Catt./Little Valley By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

Two neighboring high school varsity bowling teams came together on Dec.17 at K & L Lanes in Gowanda for a key Cattaraugus County match. But when the last pin was finally knocked over, it was Gowanda that swept Cattaraugus-Little Valley in all four games in both the boys and girls matches. The Gowanda girls team continued its torrid start under coach Lois Piscitelli and ran its overall record to 20 wins without a loss. The team’s line score was 819-926-895 for a total of 2,640 pins. “Awesome,” was how Piscitelli described her team’s

undefeated beginning of the 2014-15 season. “What an early Christmas present for the team by sweeping a very good Cattaraugus-Little Valley squad.” The Timberwolves came into the match with an identical 16-0 record. “It was a tough day on the alleys,” Catt-Little Valley coach John Busekist lamented. “Our girls team had just swept Hinsdale two days earlier, but Gowanda is a very good team.” For the Lady Panthers, it was co-captain Britnee Stelley that led the way with a 525 series that included a high game of 203. The team’s other co-captain, Malyssa Farley, also had a hot hand and chipped in with a high game of 209, much to the

delight of her coach. For Catt.Little Valley, Britney Grey continues to bowl very well. After her three-game set of 539 against Hinsdale, she came back with a 504 set in Gowanda. “Britney is currently leading the team with a 172 per game average,”Busekist said. “Vicki Grey, Mindy Pritchard and Anna Gassman have also contributed to our team’s early success so far this season.” The Gowanda boys also took four games with a line score of 1,027-990-1,018 for a total of 3,035 pins. Co-captain Zach Gabel put together a three-game set of 579 with a high game of 224. Other Gowanda keglers to hit the coveted 200 mark were Jared Krajewski and

Trevor Greco. The juniors each rolled a high game of 204. Although they lost to the Panthers (16-4), the Timberwolves have been getting steady performances from Jamie Belzile, Colin Liddle, Tom Kehr and Andrew Larkin. Belzile was the best of all bowlers at K & L Lanes during Senior Night with a three-game set of 592, which included a high game of 227. Busekist noted that Belzile is currently carrying a 181 average per game. Cattaraugus-Little Valley will return to action on Jan. 10 at Cascades Lanes. It will face Salamanca in the morning and Allegany-Limestone in the afternoon. This format is used to get ready for the Sectionals in February.

PRO FOOTBALL CORNER

FROM the SIDELINES

Bills players help kids Play 60, playoff chances squandered By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chris Hogan participates in Play 60 and Fitness for Kids Challenge events all season long, but still, the athletic instincts and abilities of some of the participating kids manage to surprise him every time. “There are always a couple of kids out here that will actually really juke you out,” Hogan said with a laugh. Even so, athletic ability notwithstanding, Hogan thinks it’s just good to see kids being active. Hogan, alongside his Buffalo teammates and representatives from the Independent Health Foundation and the American Heart Association, hosted 300 elementary school students from participating schools throughout Western New York to celebrate the completion of the Play 60 Challenge on Dec. 16 inside the AdPro Field House at One Bills Drive. The Play 60 Challenge is a key initiative of the Buffalo Bills and the NFL that encourages America’s youth to be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day. The Challenge was offered to local students in partnership with the Independent Health Foundation’s Fitness for Kids Challenge in a joint

effort to increase students’ physical activity and encourage good nutrition. Hogan and his fellow Bills spoke with children about the significance of physical activity and healthy eating and supervised footballoriented physical fitness stations. Hogan, of course, was holding a blocking pad. And while some of the kids managed to juke the second-year Bill out, he was encouraged by the turnout and enjoyed being there. “I love doing these Play 60 events,” he said. “We do them all year and I look forward to coming out here and running around with the kids. It’s a good time and they get a kick out of it. It’s a lot of fun seeing how much fun they have with just a couple of Bills players out here.” Matching the excitement of participating children can be a tall order, the 26-yearold said, but after a few minutes, he was having just as much as fun as they were. “Five minutes into it I find myself running around more than the kids are and sweating,” Hogan said. “I love these events.” He’s not the only one. Bills center and captain Eric Wood, a sixth-year veteran, supervised a blowup slide with quarterback Jeff Tuel. “The whole Play 60 program is great,” Wood said. “Childhood obesity is grow-

And it seems like the kids are having a blast.” ••• A few days after the Bills hosted area elementary students, the Oakland Raiders hosted the Bills. But the Raiders weren’t in it for fun and games. The Raiders spoiled Buf-

falo’s bid for one of the AFC’s wildcard spots by defeating the Bills, 26-24, in what was a must-win game for Doug Marrone’s squad. The loss came one week after Buffalo upset Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers behind a stalwart defensive effort. The Bills clinched their 15th straight season without a playoff berth with the

loss. ••• What could have been a rivalry showdown between a postseason-hungry Buffalo team and a New England unit that dominates the Bills perennially, has turned into a game with little significance behind it. The Bills will head to Foxboro later this week to take on the Patriots at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 28 at Gillete

Stadium. The game will be broadcast on CBS. The Patriots (12-3), who beat the Jets 17-16 on Sunday, have already locked up a first-round bye but could be playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Bills (8-7), meanwhile, will aim to finish a season over .500 for the first time since 2004. New England defeated Buffalo in Week 6, 37-22.

Hamburg natives help D’Youville hoops to hot start By Marquel Slaughter SPORTS REPORTER

Regardless of her participation in leagues with the locally-popular Little Cagers basketball league as a tween to playing three years of varsity ball under Kelly Owens, Alexis Smith never truly thought about taking her skills to the next level and hooping in college. It was not until her senior year at Hamburg High School when D’Youville began recruiting her. With her intentions of studying in the medical field, it was the perfect college for Smith academically. Now in her junior season playing basketball at DYC, Smith has teamed up alongside fellow Hamburg native in Nichols grad Morgan McDermott to help coach Dan Glover and the Lady Spartans to a 7-2 record, which is on pace to become the most successful season since 2007-08. “Just looking back on last

year you can see that we’re pretty much a completely different team,” said McDermott, a sophomore who is aiding DYC to its best season since it went 22-6 and advanced to the Division III tournament in 2007-08. “We’re so much better this year. This year I think our team chemistry is something that adds into us winning games. I think it’s a key component.” McDermott attended St. Peter and Paul before enrolling to Nichols for high school. She became the only freshman to make the varsity cut as a ninth grader and was a four-year player when she left in 2013. Smith graduated from Hamburg in 2012 with intentions of playing for the coach who recruited her. When coach stepped down late that August early in the semester, Glover came to a roster of six girls and put together a squad full of other athletes to field a team. After some time and recruiting his own freshmen classes, Glover has D’Youville off to its best start in years, a major improvement from 11 wins by

the end of last year and seven the season before. “Experience,” said Glover, who is a 2006 Lake Shore graduate. “With the last couple of years bringing in recruiting classes, I think a lot of people getting playing time when they were young has given them experience now. They’ve been through tough situations and now they’re prepared for it.” “Coming in, I didn’t really know what to expect, and with the coaching change there was a new outlook,” said Smith. One of those hoopers that found their opportunity to take advantage of the time given to her early in her college career was Smith. Not only was her 34 points a record-high for a freshman, she topped that with 37 that same year, which still stands as the single game record for points scored within the program. She was honored as a secondteam all-conference player and received Newcomer of the Year. “We knew she was going to be something special,” said

Glover. “She was a kid who had raw talent.” McDermott‘s addition was an essential one to DYC’s growth as a program and in order to change the culture around, she became a part of Glover’s first recruiting class. The Nichols alumna was scouted for her hard work, high basketball IQ and shooting ability to help out the remaining returners. “They had the tools to be successful. They just needed someone to help them get to that point,” said Glover. Once a go-to player on the offensive side of the ball, Smith has found herself in a much different role lately than she was her first season. “Obviously with her third year her role changed a little bit, but in the three years she has also matured as a player and can accept that change of role,” said Glover. “But she’s that type of player who can change the game for us and she has. “I’m looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us the rest of her junior year

and senior year.” Medaille may be the rival college right down the street but D’Youville is too busy making history against the top teams in the league. La Roche has always given trouble to DYC and the rest of the city but it was this fall where DYC’s 11-point loss was the closest margin of victory against the conference powerhouse. The Spartans found themselves down 25 at halftime before battling back and getting within eight. “That right there showed me we played to our potential in the second half,” Glover said. “The first half we just have to get over the feeling of ‘oh ,this is La Roche…’ But we took a step in the right direction in the end of it. We never gave up. We played hard the entire time. I’m happy for that aspect.” There are plenty of basketball players from the Western New York area that are making their waves at DYC. Awilda Murphy is a freshman from Sacred Heart that Glover called “a program changer.” Bridget Andrews

(Sacred Heart) is in her senior year and is approaching 1,000 points. Senior Jillian Piniewski (West Seneca West) transferred to DYC after spending two years hooping at Brockport. Kayla Brown (Cardinal O’Hara) is also a transfer, spending her freshman year at Daemen before finding a home with the Spartans. Sophomore Alyssa Donnelly (Nichols) is used to stretch the floor, junior Sarah Marino (Holy Angels) has a lethal jumper and is usually the one to get the bench going and Danette Laguerre (Hutch Tech) is a solid backup point guard that has been getting over some injuries. With the help of out-oftown talent such as Jean-Ann Korona, Ali Cochrane, Amanda Marcely, Mary Roberts, Casey Bartels and Hannah Simone, each of the Western New Yorkers have key roles for DYC. “We’re ready to make a splash this season and make history,” said Glover. ”That’s what we came to do.”

NEXUS, FAST, Ready Lane, etc.). Travelers can download the app for free from Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Travelers can locate the three ports of entry closest to their location and then map the best route to the crossing of their choice. The app will allow travelers in the Buffalo area to compare wait times at the Peace Bridge, Rainbow Bridge and Lewiston Queenston Bridge, and will then direct them to whichever crossing they choose.
