Search the Scriptures for Answers What If‌? Biblical Answer: “Prove all things‌â€? (1Thes 5:21). Comment: What if there were no road maps or GPS units? How would one drive to an unknown area without getting lost? But there are road maps and GPS units. If a person were not to use these tools we would think that person foolish and unwise. What if there were no Bibles? How would we know God’s will? But there are Bibles available in hundreds of languages: in written form, as audios, on the internet, freely available to everyone. The Bible is the Word of God full of instructions on how to traverse our journey of life. 1Tim 2:15 says “Study to show thyself approved unto Godâ€?. How can you study unless you read the Bible yourself? Yet the majority of those claiming to be Christian never read it. They are satisfied to hear what others say about it. The Bible is more than a book of rules. It reveals: the will of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, events of the future as well as warnings to prevent disaster. “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive manyâ€? (Mt 24:11) is one such warning. Again “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive youâ€? (Mt 24:4). How can you spot deception if you don’t know the Scriptures? In Nashville, TN on December 9, 2014 President Obama in a speech said “The good book says, don’t throw stones in glass housesâ€?. This statement is not in the Bible rather it is a proverb of unknown origin. Would you have spotted the nonexistent Bible verse? It is very easy to be misled. The many (not few) false prophets will look like ministers of Christ and will deceive many (not few). What if you don’t read the Scriptures yourself? You would be foolish and unwise and easily deceived. Sovereign Grace Ministry visit www.DistinctlyandRightly.com

that Mentholatum is one of these All-American brands.� The company was founded in 1889 by Albert Alexander Hyde, an early purveyor of the medicinal and topical benefits of menthol. Developing the vapor rub recipe which the company still uses today, he founded a partnership called The Yucca Company in Wichita, Kan. By 1906, the company changed its name to The Mentholatum Company, following the success of its original Mentholatum Ointment, and opened an office in Buffalo. In 1919, the company opened a large factory on Niagara Street in Buffalo. The company enjoyed early success by marketing heavily in East Asia.They began selling to Japan in 1913 and today manufacture several of the leading skin care products across the region. In 1975, the Rohto Pharmaceutical Company became Mentholatum’s licensee, and in 1988, Rohto purchased Mentholatum. Legros says the two companies “realized (they) had synergies.� Throughout the 1990s, Rohto and Mentholatum began to market a number of innovative skin care products while opening new factories in the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and elsewhere. The company continued to expand its product line and are are anticipating sales for this

year of $500 million. Mentholatum moved to its current location in 1997. There they manufacture and package a number of their popular products. The location also serves as their North American headquarters. And yet, despite manufacturing so many leading and trusted skin care products, Legros still feels that Mentholatum’s presence goes unknown by most Buffalonians. “Some people know about Mentholatum, but our presence and the knowledge of our presence has been a little bit subdued,� Legros said. Legros stressed that the firm does much of its sampling locally, and donates to a number of area charities. In that list are the Roycroft Campus Corporation, the Buffalo Zoo, the Food Bank of WNY and the Conners Children Center. The company also employs close to 200 from the area, and expect to create more jobs as they grow. Legros says they appreciate the local support, and very much like their home in the Buffalo region. “Buffalonians are very loyal to products that are made locally, and tend to make an effort to support local products,� Legros said. “As much as we support our local charities, we appreciate the support of Buffalonians.�

$18 million ready for new farmer training By Traci Bruckner
CENTER FOR RURAL AFFAIRS
The US Department of Agriculture announced more than $18 million in funding available to support training, mentoring, and development of beginning farmers and ranchers through the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program. The Center for Rural Affairs helped create and advocate for this program in the 2002 Farm Bill. It was finally funded in the 2008 Farm Bill. The need was clear then and remains so today. A number of beginning farmers and ranchers don't have direct roots to agriculture. While they yearn for the honest, hard work you find in farming or ranching, they need help learning the ropes. The Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program awards grants to organizations the educational leadership of to found Campbell's Angus implementing programs to train renowned educator, Lawrence Farms and helped found, with beginning farmers and ranchers.

Entrapreneurial exceptionalism spotlights Gowanda area Back in the so called "olden" days of my youth, I never knew or used the term "entrepreneur". Within the past several years the word has become far more common. However, entrepreneurs were most prominent in years gone by and served as an essential backbone to our local, national, and world economy. They have contributed substantially to the way of life for people everywhere. There are so many outstanding entrepreneurs one could write about. But for this article, I will focus only on several of our prominent entrepreneurs past or present. As a high school student at Springville Griffith Institute, we were fortunate to have as our school Superintendent and Principal Harold Davey. He was a pioneer in the expansion of centralization for our school district. And, in 1945-’46, he was also at the ground level for planning of what is currently the Springville High School building. At the same time, Davey was one of the emi-
nent organizers of Springville Youth Incorporated. Harold Davey- was an outstanding avant - garde leader. Time moved on, and I served as a Principal in the East Aurora School System. From there, I would join the faculty of SUNY Fredonia and was associated with Fredonia for fifty years. In 1975, our family moved to Gowanda. It was our pleasure to get to become more familiar with the local history of the area. A number of extraordinarily stellar pillars stood out. I will focus on several. The name of Richard Wilhelm stands out with distinction. He was the prominent owner of the Peter Cooper Corporation, the largest manufacturer of animal glue in the world. It was an enormous enterprise. The Wilhelm family contributed much to the vibrancy of the economic, cultural, educational, and social climate of the area. Truly, Richard Wilhelm was an entrepreneur extraordinaire. The Gowanda Central School District was fortunate to have

Funding includes support for workshops, farmer-to-farmer mentoring, and technical assistance. Since the program was first funded and put on the ground in 2009, 145 awards have been made. That's more than $71 million dedicated to giving the next generation of farmers and ranchers the know-how to succeed. A focus on projects for veteran beginning farmers and ranchers has been added this time. It joins previous set-asides for socially-disadvantaged, limited-resource, or farmworkers who want a start in agriculture. Organizations experienced in serving beginning farmers and ranchers must submit their applications by March 13. If you are a beginning farmer or rancher looking to find training and mentoring opportunities, call the Center for Rural Affairs at: 402-687-2100 or email: tracib@cfra.org. We’ll point you in the right direction.
Ag and 4H are county priorities
Signs of a hard winter
the 4H program in the county would be suspended. From the County’s perspective this was premature. Again, the County continues to support 4H in Cattaraugus County. Recently the CCE board issued a written ultimatum to the county to fund the Cattaraugus Allegany Cooperative Extension at a $244,525 level, well above the budgeted amount. It was further noted that if this did not occur, any dollars allocation to the Extension would be spent in a manner decided by the Extension Board, not the funder, Cattaraugus County. Basically, this would mean that funds allocated by the County for 4H could be used for a variety of reasons that may not be associated with 4H. This is unacceptable to Cattaraugus County. Again, we support 4H and are prepared to support this program to the extent of our budgetary allocation. Cattaraugus County has begun a process of reaching out to Cornell University and State Cooperative Extension officials to better understand how the 4H program and other agriculture related programs can continue in the County. The bottom line here is that the County Legislature fully supports 4H youth and their mentors and agriculture in Cattaraugus County.

State budget increase called a loss for schools By Larry Wroblewski Governor Andrew Cuomo’s budget proposal is offering an increase in school aid of $1.06 billion. But for North Collins School Superintendent Joan Thomas, that number actually represents a decrease in funding when looking at the rise in school expenses. Thomas told the School Board at its January 27 meeting, that the governor’s increase is contingent on the State Legislature adopting his education reform platform. Items in that plan include new teacher evaluations and a permanent property tax cap. If the legislature does not agree, Cuomo would only increase education aid by $377 million which Thomas said would be “Devastating.� Thomas clarified that even at the higher rate, the increase does not even cover state school districts rise in costs over the past year. By requiring the legislature to sign off on the governor’s plan, Thomas said, “It’s like having two hands tied behind you back and being blindfolded.� The Superintendent cautioned the board that even at the maximum, the board should not expect more than a two percent increase in state aid for next year. Thomas suggested the Board explore a capital project, albeit a small one. “We haven’t don a capital project in ten years,� she said. Thomas proposed various small projects such as updating the phone system, filtering the water fountains and replacing the clock system which no longer synchronizes throughout the elementary school causing some appointment delays. BOCES is planning a capital project to make necessary repairs in its buildings. District Treasurer, Crystal Cocca, said that the estimated cost would be $25 million and be spread over 15-years. Cocca said that it will require all 27 stakeholders in the BOCES system to agree to gain the lowest possible interest rate. Thomas added that the anticipated cost to the North Collins District would be $12,000 per year over the life of the financing.
Elementary Principal John Cataldo, presented a half-year review of the six-day schedule his building adopted this school year. According to Cataldo, the results have been overall positive, giving teachers known, dedicated blocks to work with their entire class on key subjects. Cataldo said changes have been made since implementation and the board should remember that the schedule is “A work in progress. In my over twenty years here, there have always been scheduling problems, but I think this is the best schedule we have ever had. A contingent of teachers was on hand who agreed with Cataldo’s assessment and mirrored his concerns about the loss of computer lab time, especially for students in the higher grades. It fell to Board Member Michael Stefan to ask Cataldo when the outdoor elementary school sign would be updated. That sign was still displaying December activities at the end of January. Cataldo said, “It’s frozen, we can’t open it. When it does get warmer, it’s on days when staff is not in the building. As soon as we can open it, it will be changed.� Annie Metcalf, Jr.-Sr. High Principal highlighted her students recent accomplishments which included Senior Jade Gier leading her Stock Market Game team to first place in the state. Also reported was that the “Hub and Spoke Project� in Hamburg has adopted a colorful brochure designed by Mrs. Saeli’s web design class at North Collins. Metcalf also noted that Junior, Elizabeth Novoa, has been selected to be the first non-voting, student member of the Town Council. That agreement was recently worked out and is a result of the recently formed
Town/Village/School committee initiative. Although on staff at the elementary school and a member of the Town Council, Ellen Mathis addressed the board “As a mother and hopefully someday, a grandmother.â€? Mathis reported concern over a suggestion that sixth grade classes could be transferred to the Junior-Senior High building. Mathis said, “They are still children, let them be children. If you are planning to do this, let the community knowâ€? Keeping with Board policy, no official comment was issued, but an answer was promised to Mathis. Town Recreation Leader Jan Mathis, entertained a proposal for the district’s Tech students to create a course map for the town parks recently installed disc golf course. Additionally, Mathis said tees are planned and envisioned decorated pots could serve the purpose. He proposed a contest for students to decorate those pots with the best being installed at the park. In other matters the Board: • Appointed Stephanie Baumler as Temporary Daily Substitute Teacher Pre-K-12 as well as Anne Foit as a substitute teacher. • Accepted letters of resignation from: Robert Catalino, Boys JV Baseball Coach; Ryan Hayes, Boys Modified Baseball Coach and Shannon McMullen as Cheerleading Coach. • Appointed Ryan Hayes as Girls JV Softball Coach. • Accepted a donation of $300 from the elementary school PTA for field day expenses. • Rescheduled the Feb. 25 meeting to Feb. 27 at 5:30 p.m. The School Board will meet next on Feb. 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the High School Library.

Sampson Needs Some Shade Wild giraffes who roam the African Savannah thrive there because of the warm temperatures, water, food, sun, and shade.The Buffalo Zoo is committed to providing the same type of environment for their giraffe population, whose newest member, Sampson, will be experiencing all kinds of FOLPDWH FKDQJH LQ KLV ÀUVW year of life. As part of continued improvements to the zoo, there are plans to build a shade structure. Giraffes already have use of an enclosed structure, as well as a large giraffe yard of approximately one-half acre. However, during the zoo’s accreditation process in 2011, it was noted that there was little to no outdoor shade. The Association of Zoo’s and Aquariums (AZA) requested that a shade structure be built to help keep the animals cool and out of the direct sunlight of the summer months. The giraffe shade structure is one aspect of the Buffalo Zoo’s reaccreditation in 2016. Community Papers of WNY, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, and Towne MINI share a commitment to our community and are partnering together to help. You may have noticed several billboards throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area introducing Sampson to his hometown, along with featured articles in all of CPOWNY’s community newspapers.

Texting notification offered to crime victims Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard joins the NY Sheriff’s Association in announcing the launch of an enhancement to the New York Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline (VINE). This new service will enable crime victims to receive a text message notification in the event of any change in the custody status of an offender incarcerated in the Erie County Holding Center orthe Erie County Correctional Facility. VINE allows crime victims to learn the custody status of an offender, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by telephone or online. This new notification option, “SMS Text Messaging Notification,� adds text messaging to the existing notification options. The additional outbound notification method will be in Spanish and English.
The Erie County Sheriff’s Office also provides an “Inmate Roster� on its website to allow individuals to check the status of an inmate in a Sheriff’s facility. This roster is updated every fifteen minutes, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Website visitors can view and print the PDF document. This link on www. erie/sheriff/gov home page provides individuals an additional resource if they don’t have the VINE Mobile app or subscribe to a text messaging service. The Sheriff’s Jail Management Division recently performed some upgrades to existing software. The transition provides additional back-ups for the booking system and provides communication between the jails and the VINE system. “I welcome this new feature and feel confident that my of-
fice has provided a safety net to prevent any delays in notifying victims. My office continues to seek ways to better serve the residents of Erie County and their safety needs.� said Sheriff Howard. In 2014, almost 2.8 million crime victims searched the VINE Database, using either the toll free number (1-888-VINE4-NY), the VINEMobile app, the Sheriffs Mobile Patrol App (both available for IPhone and Android), or the website (VineLink.com). Also in 2014, over 100,000 crime victims received notification of a change in their offender’s status either by phone or email. It is anticipated that the addition of the text messaging option will result in even more crime victims receiving timely notification of vital offender information.

First female-only ‘hack-a-thon’ planned
JBC earns top rank in simulated strategy
In an effort to attract more women into the field of web and software development, the Buffalo Chapter of Girl Develop has announced the region’s first all-female “hack-a-thon”, GDI Hacks. The event, will take place on Saturday, Feb. 7, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and is one of the first events to take place in the newly constructed 43North incubator, 640 Ellicott St., Buffalo. During the hackathon, teams of women developers, entrepreneurs, technologist, web developers and marketing experts will be challenged to provide several area non-profit, women or minority-owned businesses with new and updated websites. Girl Develop It is a nonprofit organization created to provide affordable and accessible programs to women who want to learn web, software
and mobile application development through mentorship and hands-on instruction. GDI Hacks is a daylong hackathon event and collaborative programming competition in which several teams will face off to deliver the best website in a 12-hour period. Between three to five area businesses will be selected to receive a website overhaul to improve their online presence. Participants will present their ideas to a panel of judges and prizes will be awarded for the most innovative and useful websites. “At Girl Develop It we know that an outstanding web presence can have a great impact to business. It is important to us that our hackathon not only help our members hone their skills, but also helps local non-profits or small businesses succeed. It’s a win-win,” said

Tax Time Tips W W W. G O W A N D A N E W S . C O M
Healthy Alliance offers Health insurance queries health insurance help to appear on tax forms With the start of tax season, many people may find themselves subject to a financial penalty because they do not have health insurance. The Internal Revenue Service website states (irs.gov), “Your 2014 tax return will ask if you had insurance coverage or qualified for an exemption. If not, you may owe a shared responsibility payment when you file in 2015.” If you or someone you know does not have health insurance, call Healthy Community Alliance (532-1010) for FREE assistance in applying for coverage through the NYS of Health Marketplace. Navigators can schedule appointments at Healthy Community Alliance’s Gowanda office and at 24 other locations throughout Cattaraugus County. Navigators have been trained to help individuals and families enroll in health insurance, including Child Health Plus, Medicaid and Qualified Health Plans through the NY State of Health Insurance Marketplace. Navigators assist with entering all information into the online portal, determining eligibility
based upon household size and income, and identifying if tax credits are available to help reduce monthly premiums. The marketplace offers a wide variety of insurance plans. Plans include metal tiers like platinum, gold, silver and bronze. These plans offer the same coverage but different premiums. For example, an individual who has diabetes may be a “frequent flyer” in the healthcare system and may opt for a platinum plan with a larger monthly premium, but no co-pays or deductibles. However, another individual may only need to access the healthcare system for routine exams and wellness visits. This person may have the option of picking a bronze plan with a much lower monthly premium but with higher copays or deductibles. To make the enrollment process easy and convenient, Navigators provide support in-person at 24 locations throughout Cattaraugus County, online, and by phone. Those who may be eligible for Child Heath Plus or Medicaid can enroll anytime during
the year, while others need to enroll during open enrollment which goes through February 15 of this year. No one will be denied coverage or charged more just because of pre-existing conditions. Every health plan offered at the NY State of Health Marketplace, no matter what it costs, must cover essential health benefits including: Ambulatory patient services ; Hospitalization; Mental health, substance use disorder services, including behavior health treatment; Prescription drugs; Preventative and wellness services and chronic disease management; Emergency services; Maternity and newborn care; Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; Laboratory services and Pediatric services, including oral and vision care. Anyone seeking health insurance can sign up for a health plan during open enrollment, through February, 15. For more information or to schedule appointments, call the Healthy Community Alliance, (716) 532-1010.
Nature center offers scholarship
Since 2003, the education staff of the Audubon Nature Center has held an annual birdathon to raise money to award a $500 scholarship to an area college-bound high school senior or Jamestown Community College student who intends to pursue a bachelor’s degree in an environmental or related field. Audubon educators describe a birdathon as “a team of crazy birders looking for as many species as possible over a 24-hour period.” Their event is held in early May. In 2009 the award was
named in honor of Ryan Paul Exline, a graduate student at Duke University pursuing a Conservation Degree. An integral part of the Nature Center family for many years, Exline was 22 when he died in 2008, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. Applications for this scholarship will be accepted through Sunday, March 15. The winner of the 2014 Ryan Exline Memorial Scholarship was Connor Clendenen, of Exline's hometown, Russell, Pa. More information and an
application form are online at www.jamestownaudubon. org. Applications may also be obtained by calling (716) 569-2345 or emailing shatfield@jamestownaudubon. org.

Most will just need to check a box to indicate they have coverage. Those with Marketplace coverage will receive Form 1095-A that they will use to reconcile their up front financial assistance. While those who can afford to buy health insurance and choose not to will have to pay a fee, individuals who cannot afford coverage or meet other conditions can receive an exemption. In the coming weeks, tools and resources will be made available for those tax filers who have coverage through Marketplaces, those seeking an exemption, and those looking for information about the fee for those who could afford to purchase coverage but chose not to.

In preparation for the 2015 tax filing season, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Treasury Department are putting in place resources to provide tax filers with the information and resources they need to get their questions answered. Starting this year, taxpayers will see changes to their tax returns. While the vast majority of tax filers will just need to check a box on their tax return indicating they had health coverage in 2014, people who have coverage through the Marketplaces, or decided not to enroll in coverage, should be aware of some additional steps that will be a part of the tax filing process starting this year. In the coming weeks, the Administration plans to launch additional resources to help prepare for tax season, including online tools to help individuals connect with local tax preparation services and determine if they are eligible for an exemption.

Lady Panthers ride team effort to big win over North Collins By Mark Benton
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
In a rematch of an earlyseason game played at North Collins, the Gowanda Central School varsity girls basketball team put it all together once again and defeated the Eagles by a score of 72-24 to complete the season sweep. The nonleague contest was played in the Panthers’ gym on Jan. 26. “We just came out and played tonight,” commented Gowanda coach Jennifer DePasquale. “Everyone on the team stepped up and played so well together.” They sure did step it up as every player on the Gowanda roster reached the scoring column in the same game for the first time this season. Leading the way for the lady Panthers was Alexis Hawkins. The freshman center scored 25 points, hauled down 18 rebounds, blocked three shots and had three steals in a dominating performance. Raeann White also played very well for the home team and reached double figures with 16 points to go along with five assists. The other seven players on the Gowanda roster also factored into the team’s fourth victory of the season. Da:” Di’ Jones netted seven points, dished out five assists and collected four rebounds. Allise Barreto, who played on the school’s varsity football team this past fall, scored four points, snatched nine rebounds and stole the ball four times.
Gabby Lay (four points) and all of her Gowanda teammates found the scoring column in their win over North Collins.

Forestville bowling completes successful regular season By Mark Benton
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
Both the boys and girls varsity bowling teams at Forestville Central School completed their regular season on Jan. 21 with a good deal of success. The girls team will now prepare for the County rolloffs in Jamestown at the Jamestown Bowling Center on Feb. 3. The boys team
will also compete in their roll-offs one day later at the same location. Top bowlers from those events will gain the right to compete in the Section VI championship match at Airport Lanes in Cheektowaga on Feb. 12 (girls) and Feb. 13 (boys). In their last regular season matches against Clymer at Lucky Lanes in Fredonia on Jan. 21, the boys won two out of three games and the total pin count. With their latest
success, the Hornets were able to post a final overall record of 26-14. “Brad Dillenburg led the way with a three-game series of 535,” commented Forestville coach Jean Flagler. “His high game was a 201.” Forestville also received a good effort from Macadam Gadewoltz, who had a threegame set of 487. Clymer’s David Appletree was the top bowler in the match with a three-game total
CLV Wall of Fame being established Cattaraugus-Little Valley opened its doors in 2000. Since that time, many outstanding athletes have served CLV and earned high recognition on many levels. As a result, CLV would like to recognize these athletes on an Athletic Wall of Fame. Cattaraugus-LittleValley is now accepting 2015 nominations for consideration for induction into the Athletic Wall of Fame, along with honorary members. Those selected will be inducted at the annual spring athletic awards program. Following is the criteria for

of 559. His high game was a very respectable 259. On the girls side of the alleys, the Lady Hornets took all three games and the total pin count from the Pirates. The sweep of Clymer enabled the Forestville girls squad to complete their regular season schedule with a record of 19-13. “Our graduating senior girl, Shawntai LeBarron, had a three-game set of 514,” echoed Flagler. “Her indi-
vidual high game was a 222.” Flagler went on to say that LeBarron was also a bright spot for their bowling family. ”Shawntai participated in bowling for five years and was on three county championship teams,” Flagler said. There is no doubt that the Forestville bowling program will miss LeBarron’s spunk and cheerfulness next year, according to her coach. The team captain, Emily Narraway, also bowled well
and posted a three-game total of 446. “Our two youngest bowlers, Alyssa Graziano and Ashley Forbes, had a good day on the alleys, too,” Flagler reported. The next two weeks will now focus on practice and preparation for the most important part of the season. The goal is to reach the New York State championship match during the third weekend in February.

Rooney resides in California and Larson in Chicago, Illinois. The 1944 team posted a final record of 9-0.

Eight of Cattaraugus-Little Valley/Pine Valley’s nine wrestlers who competed at the CLV tournament won at least one match. “We had nine wrestlers compete and eight of them won at least one match,” stated Cattaraugus-Little Valley/Pine Valley co-coach Rex Brown. “As a team, we finished ninth out of the 26 squads that were entered.” Next door neighbor Gowanda Central School also had a good showing as it brought home a fourth place trophy. Eight Panther grapplers won matches that gained points for their team’s total score of 115. “Lucas McKeever won all five of his matches at 160 pounds and placed first,” noted Mark Leous, the longtime Panther coach. “David Poff and Dave Hammond each took a third in their
weight class while Brandon Arrigo was fourth and Josh Balzer fifth.” Other notable Panthers to gain points were Dalton Mills, Devin Richter and Chelton Bellinger. Leous was also satisfied with his team’s performance. The Blue and White are currently ranked 10th in the latest WNY small school poll. This most recent performance should help them to move up in the rankings. The third local team to compete in the Timberwolves’ tournament was Dunkirk/ Silver Creek. Coach Joe McMurdy had two of his wrestlers make it to the podium to receive awards. “Nick Jones at 285 pounds
was our only champion and his brother, Alex, was the runner up in the 220-pound weight division,” McMurdy stated following the day-long competition. “I couldn’t be happier for each of them.” “The tournament started slowly for the first hour but continued at a steady pace,” Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Pine Valley co-coach Rex Brown echoed. The tournament was completed by 9 p.m. and received good reviews. All three teams had one dual meet left on their regular season schedule before gearing for the Section VI championships that place the weekend of Feb. 7.
Gowanda Panthers drop pair of league games By Mark Benton
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
The Gowanda basketball team lost two league games last week.
Although the Gowanda Central School varsity boys basketball team was competitive in its most recent CCAA Division I East games, the Panthers have yet to reach the win column. Their latest two defeats dropped the Panthers’ overall league record to 0-7. The Blue and White “cagers” traveled to Salamanca on Jan. 21 hoping to avenge an eight-point loss to the Warriors in early December. And after falling behind by eight points in the first half, Gowanda stormed back with good outside shooting to force the game into overtime. However, once in the extra session, the home team outscored the Panthers 12-4 and
won, 66-58, to complete the season sweep. Salamanca played without Jared Fish, the team’s 6-foot, 7-inch all-star center who was sidelined with an injury. The Panthers were also missing two injured starters who are out indefinitely, which has left Gowanda coach Andy Bobseine with a short bench. The Panthers returned home on Jan. 23 for another CCAA Division I East game against Randolph. Gowanda again competed with its opponent for all four quarters but fell short down the stretch and lost, 64-57. The visiting Cardinals, who blistered the nets on their home court in the last encounter with Gowanda, missed several 3-point attempts in the first half, which enabled Gowanda to forge a tie at 32 when the second quarter clock expired. “We were not shooting the ball very well in the first half,” commented Randolph assistant coach Ike Morrison. “On the other hand, Gowanda was making their shots and made things difficult for us.” Morrison’s younger brother,
Blake, who is the team’s leading scorer, missed five long-range shots in the first half but found his points on layups and free throws to keep his Cardinal team in the game. “Blake had a dreadful first half but his game improved as the game wore on,” his older brother and coach said. “He started to connect on some shots behind the arc and that finally gave us the lead.” The Panthers would still not go away and kept chucking up 3-pointers, which kept the game close until the end. However, their lack of defensive intensity in the final moments of the game proved to be their undoing. “We were able to run a few plays offensively that led to easy baskets that broke the game open in the fourth quarter,” Morrison said. “Blake did not play his best game but managed to score a ‘quiet’ 33 points.” With the victory, Randolph’s overall season record improved to 5-3. Gowanda fell to 3-8 with eight more regular season games to play.
