STUDENT COMES TO MOTORIST’S AID

By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

John Spina, of Gowanda, is a history buff. But his tastes go well beyond written text. His passion is fossil hunting. As a boy, he developed a fascination with mineral crystals. And he enjoyed some success finding samples along the Zoar Valley. That all changed when he received a book about fossils from his father. Spina would discover that a prime spot for trilobite fossils was 18-Mile Creek. A quick look at a map showed Spina he was not far away. Spina said, “I asked my dad if we could go there and look for fossils, and my dad agreed.” However, the father-son trip never happened. It would be years later, when his own sons were pre-teen, that he took them to the Zoar Valley on fossil hunts. Spina was in the insurance business then and decided he had enough time to get a little more involved in the search. “I got serious in about 1990,” Spina recalled, “I would go to Hamburg looking for fossils. He would later become involved with the Penn Dixie Geological Site in Hamburg, but remembers it in the early days. “When I first saw it, it looked like moonscape with a junk pile on it.” “I enrolled in a Paleontology course offered through Empire State College,” remembered Spina. He even entertained thoughts of embarking on a new career. “I realized it was a bit too late in my life to start over, so I decided to do it on my own, rather than as a profession. John would go on to join the Buffalo Geological Society where he encountered passionate professionals and amateurs in the field. “I was a ‘newbie’” Spina said, “I just wanted to learn more.” He began to branch out traveling across New York along with Ontario and Ohio. In Canada, he met up with young people pursuing degrees in Paleontology. He learned from them about the famous Burgess Shale fossil deposits in British Columbia. The Burgess Shale lies in Canadian National Park ter-

John Spina found a pastime he really digs

He was on a quest for Silurian Eurypterids. ritory and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. “You're not allowed to dig or remove fossils from it, there are sever repercussions if you do,” John said. However, there was one loop hole. The Royal Ontario Museum had obtained permission to extract fossils at the site on a limited basis. Spina would meet the professor who was leading the 1999 expedition and offer his services.

“It was really hard work and three months without pay really made it a stretch for us with the bills at home,” Spina related. The ROM expeditions were halted in 2001 so the Burgess site remains intact. The biggest lesson John learned from the experience was how to properly curate his collection. He had learned that documentation was essential in the fossil world. “I had attempted to donate my fossils to the Buffalo Museum of Science,” John remembered, “But the Curator asked for my stratographic information. He told me fossils are meaningless without that information. That data includes the location the specimen was found, along with the rock layer it was found in. He's had his share of excitement as well. While working a dig at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, he found a very rare, and very intact, Multi Plex Discus fossil. “It's considered a missing-link in the fossil record,” says Spina. He went on to describe the fossil as a cross between a sand dollar and starfish. With his stratographic data fully in hand, he was able to donate his find to the University

DETAIL-John Spina points out the features of an Alethopteris fern he excavated in St. Clair, Pennsylvania last August. “With all the students and graduate students who applied, I was surprised that he allowed me to participate,” John says, “He told me, ‘I'm looking for people who are willing to work hard,” and he didn't like the students work habits.” John spent three months at the dig that year. He was an unpaid volunteer and the only American on the project.

of Cincinnati. As his trips expanded, so too did his collection. His wife, while tolerant of his passion, insisted he confine himself “To the den and the basement,” said John, adding, “She went collecting with me on Father's Day. She

Better cell service for Persia By Phil Palen

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

At its Jan. 8 meeting, the Persia Town Board learned that improved cell phone service may be coming to the southern part of town. Verizon is proposing to erect a communications tower on the Sargent property on Broadway Road near Route 353. The tower design is a concrete pillar, rather than a steel tower with guy wires. A generator building would also be constructed at the site. The new tower is intended to provide wireless service to areas along Route 353 and into the Village of Cattaraugus. A public meeting will be held Monday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Persia Town Hall. Design plans will be available and questions and comments on the project will be heard. Councilman John Walgus said the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corp. (GARC) directors met Dec. 15 to review bids for a play structure at Gateway Park. Only one bid was received, which far exceeded the Cattaraugus County grant of casino revenue specified for the project. The bid was rejected; however, GARC received a six-month extension from the county through the end of June. Walgus said the bidder most likely had environmental concerns about the former glue factory property which were figured into the bid. Walgus said GARC officers met with representatives from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) at the park to begin de-listing 15 acres of the

property from the Superfund list of hazardous waste sites. Since environmental concerns at the site have been alleviated, Walgus said he hoped new bids would reflect this fact. The State Senate and Assembly passed bills extending the Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) to March 31, 2017, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo failed to sign it into law. The program is a key tool the state has to facilitate the reuse of former industrial properties. Walgus gave the board a draft letter to be sent to the governor expressing support for the program. Quoting from the letter, “The BCP creates jobs, attracts businesses, cleans up polluted landscapes and restores healthy living and work environments. Without this program, the exorbitant costs associated with remediation of contaminated land make many projects upstate unfeasible to develop. Since its inception, BCP has successfully leveraged more than 21,000 new jobs and nearly $7 billion in development across almost 100 projects. Without an extension before the end of this year, New York State immediately becomes a less attractive place to do business.” The board approved sending the letter to Cuomo. Councilwoman Linda Boats raised the possibility of having a wireless communication tower installed on the town hall roof to improve coverage in the village, and provide revenue for the town. She said that some towns have had similar facilities installed on church steeples and other high structures, and she would bring this up at the public hearing with Verizon on Jan. 26. In other business, the board:

• Heard Town Clerk Denise Trumpore report 74 transactions in December. She collected $3,512 in fees. The town’s share was $2,884.85. She mailed the 2015 Town & County tax bills and will be collecting taxes at the town hall through March 31. • Renewed the contract with the Erie County SPCA for dogrelated services in 2015. • Approved transfer of $5,000 into the highway reserve account and $10,000 into the building reserve account. A reserve account for a town-wide property revaluation may be needed in the future. • Approved designating the Gowanda Ambulance Service as the town’s designated 911 emergency service responder. • Passed a resolution to solicit bids for the town’s insurance package in January. • Signed an agreement with Cattaraugus County to spend highway funds for 2015. Highway Superintendent Daniel Ackley said the town is still seeking FEMA reimbursement for road damages incurred in the May, 2014 flood. • Scheduled a work session on the Thatcher Brook Watershed agreement for Wed., Jan. 28 at 1:30 p.m. at town hall. • Issued a reminder that the deadline for all property tax exemption applications is March 1. • Made several appointments and committee assignments as part of the 2015 reorganization meeting. A copy of these is available at the town hall. The next regular Persia Town Board meeting is February 12, at 7 p.m. at the Persia Town Hall, 8 West Main Street, Gowanda. There will be a workshop session before the meeting, starting at 6 p.m.

Collins Winter Recreation sets opening day The Town of Collins has announced that the Winter Recreation Program.will reopen on Jan. 30. The program will be under the new leadership of new Town Recreation Supervisor, Tammy Fabbiano. It will also change location. While still located at the LK Painter Center, the program has moved upstairs, and the front entrance will be used rather than at the rear. A new game room, craft room

brought a chair and a book and we both had a good day.” Fortunately for Spina, he also owns a commercial garage where he can keep his ancient treasures. He learned quick when he first attempted to show his collection publicly, the importance of having the right equipment. “I learned about the ‘Cincinnati Case” a wooden, glass topped, folding display case. Obtaining the plans, John went on to build 12 identical cases that he takes to fossil and mineral shows. John loves to share his passion with others and would love to be able to share his collection and experiences with schoolchildren. He believes young people

can find joy they same way he does. “Everyone starts in their own backyard investigating. Good things have turned up in gravel driveways,” he added. As for a profession, he cautions the young not to lean too heavily on dreams of a professional paleontological career. “Years ago, Paleontologists were in big demand by the oil companies to find new oil deposits. They have pretty much found all they oil they are ever going to find now. But, he wouldn't want to discourage anyone from trying. “If you have an interest, follow that interest, Spina said, “Don't plan on it as a career, but, if you take a no, you'll get a no.”

Erie County Sheriffs Retraction: The Erie County Sheriff's office has issued the following correction to a previously published arrest notice. On Dec. 25, Deputy Jason Breinlinger stopped a vehicle operated by 51 year old William Levenrentz of East Aurora for failure to stop at a stop sign. A DMV check of Levenrentz showed three suspensions for failure to pay fines and failure to answer summons. Levenrentz was arrested for Aggravated Unlicensed Operation third degree and for failure to stop at a stop sign. Levenrentz was released to appear in the Town of Brant Court at a later date. The original report incorrectly identified Levenrentz's brother, David, of Brant, as operator of the vehicle. • On Dec. 27 Erie County Sheriff’s Deputies cited three males under the age of 21 with NYS alcohol beverage control law possession of alcohol under the age of 21 after being dispatched to a report of underage drinking on Orchard Place in Collins. According to authorities, Deputies observed three males under the age of 21 walking on Main Street carrying open beer cans. Two 17-year-old males were cited with NYS alcohol beverage control law possession of alcohol under the age of 21 and one 18-year-old male was additionally arrested for obstruction of governmental administration and taken to Erie County Holding Center on $250 bail. • Chelsea Viera, 23, of Arcade was charged Jan. 4 with unlawful possession of marijuana, criminal possession of a controlled substance and public health law violation of a controlled substance outside of its original

container after being stopped for failure to indicate a turn on Main Street in Collins. Viera is due in Town of Collins Court. • The Erie County Sheriff’s Office dispatched 54 calls for the Village of Gowanda. Deputies assisted in nine calls to the Village Police Department. • James Nelms, 31, of Irving, was charged Dec. 27 with weapons possession after Deputies responded to a disturbance at a residence on Route 438 in the Seneca Nation of Indians Reservation. According to authorities, Nelms was found to be in possession of metal knuckles. He was also wanted on a warrant for harassment from the City of Buffalo. Nelms was taken to Erie County Holding Center pending arraignment in Brant Court. • The Erie County Sheriff's

Boneles

Office dispatched 35 calls for the Village of Gowanda. Deputies assisted in 4 calls to the Village Police Dept.in the first two weeks of 2015. • On Jan. 6, Deputy Joel Schenfield responded to a report of a van on fire on Route 39 in Collins. The fire caused minor structure damage to the house at 3803 Main St. Collins and Collins Center Fire Departments also responded to this fire. • On Jan. 6, Deputies handled a complaint of Harassment where the complainant met deputies at the North Collins Substation to file a report. Deputies then arrested 33 year old Cory Cornell of Collins for Harassment and Criminal Contempt. The victim had an order of protection against Cornell. Cornell was transported to the Erie County Holding Center pending arraignment in the Town of North Collins Court.

Jacobs seeks larger DMV revenue Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs is advocating for an equitable share of the fee revenue generated at local Auto Bureaus. “When someone comes into one of our County Auto Bureaus, over 87% of the fee you pay goes to Albany. Our county staff does the bulk of the work but Albany takes the majority of the money and that is simply not fair,” says Jacobs. In a letter sent to Governor Andrew Cuomo, Jacobs urged the Governor to work with the State Legislature to amend the current law to increase the sharing percentage.

From 2011-2013, New York State extracted over $90 million in auto fee revenue from Erie County, while Erie County kept approximately $12 million. Currently, counties keep 12.7-percent of the revenue of each transaction conducted at their Auto Bureaus and New York State takes 87.3-percent. Jacobs is President of the Western Region County Clerk’s Association, representing the eight counties in Western New York, who have passed a unanimous resolution calling on the State to change the sharing formula to make it more equitable

and reflective of employees who do the majority of the work. Jacobs explains that in terms of Erie County and actual dollars, in 2013 the Erie County Auto Bureau generated $36 million dollars in fees, but over $32 million of that went to Albany. “In an era of property tax caps and increasing unfunded mandates, Albany needs to allow local governments to keep more of the revenue generated at the local level,” stated Jacobs. Jacobs’ is hopeful that the State-wide Clerk’s Association will take up this issue, as well as the broader New York State

Association of Counties as a legislative item this session in Albany. The push to increase the sharing percentage of auto bureau revenues ties in with Jacobs’ “Renew Local” campaign that reminds motorists to renew their vehicle registrations locally by mailing the Clerk’s signature green, postage-paid envelopes directly to the County Clerk’s Office and helping to keep this much needed revenue in Erie County.

Credit union group likes new bill The New York State Credit Union Association is praising Gov. Andrew Cuomo for signing into law a bill the group called a “Historic piece of pro-credit union legislation that will allow state-chartered credit unions to combine select employer groups, associational and community groups into a single field of membership.” The NYCUA said it worked closely with the governor's office, the Department of Financial Services (DFS) and lawmakers to help draft and advance the legislation. The law marks the first time that stand-alone, pro-credit union

legislation-beyond federal parity legislation-has been incorporated into the state credit union act. "New York has a long banking history and is largely considered a bankers' stronghold. But this law shows significant progress, and it sends a strong message that New York supports and recognizes the economic and financial importance of state-chartered credit unions," said NYCUA President/CEO William J. Mellin. "This law is a testament to many years of hard work and the positive relationships built between the Association, the state's

credit unions and our elected officials." Under the law, state-chartered credit unions will now be allowed to apply for a membership field that includes community, association and occupation-based groups at the same time. Credit unions must still meet common-bond requirements, and the law does not create any new affiliation or membership categories. The DFS will still be responsible for approving field of membership expansion requests. The legislation passed through the state Legislature in June for the second time in

two years. In 2013, a previous version was vetoed by Cuomo, who was concerned that the bill diluted the authority of the DFS. The new law contains clarifying language regarding the DFS' authority, as well as language empowering the DFS to determine additional permissible investments for state-chartered credit unions. The NYCUA pushed for the new legislation in an effort to provide the state's credit unions with a viable, healthy, attractive and competitive alternative to the federal charter. The law takes effect March 16,.

Guard honored 11,300 last year As 2014 drew to a close, New York Army and Air National Guard Soldiers and Airmen were expected to provide military funeral honors for about 11,300 New York families. As of Dec. 22 the 124 members of the New York Army National Guard Honor Guard had performed 9,362 funeral honors missions. The Honor Guard for the five New York Air National Guard flying wings-located in Niagara Falls, Syracuse, Scotia, Newburgh, and Westhampton Beach-- and the Eastern Air Defense Sector in Rome, conducted 1, 798 military funerals as of Dec. 24. The largest number of military funerals conducted in one year was in 2011 when 10,752 military services were provided. The program began in 1999. The lower number for Army Guard funeral services in New York appears to be due to the decline in the number of World War II and Korean War-era veterans still living, as

well as a cutback in New York Army National Guard funeral missions that resulted from a temporary budget reduction in Oct. 2013, according to Staff Sgt. Erwin Dominguez, the non-commissioned officer in charge of the New York Army National Guard's Honor Guard program. The initial Fiscal Year 2015 budget for Army National Guard funeral teams would have resulted in reducing the money for New York's program from about $2 million to $1 million. Faced with this constraint the New York National Guard decided to reduce the number of funerals done daily across the state from an average of around 27 to 15 or so, said Lt. Col. Robert Epp, the Officerin-Charge of the Honor Guard program. The New York Honor Guard began referring some requests for military funerals to the Active Army Casualty Assistance Centers at Fort Drum and Joint

Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, Epp said. These centers then assigned these missions to Army Reserve units, or active Army elements at Fort Drum, the United States Military Academy at West Point, and at Dix, he explained. Some of New York's eight regional honor guard offices were closed to help conserve money, he said. In November, the Army committed more money for Army Guard funeral honors team and New York's team began ramping up services again. While the New York Army National Guard centralizes its Honor Guard program, each New York Air National Guard Wing maintains its own independent Honor Guard effort. Since 2000, federal law has mandated that any military veteran who did not receive a dishonorable discharge from the armed forces is eligible for military honors at his or her funeral. The ceremony must include the folding and presenting

of the flag of the United States to the veteran's survivors and the playing of Taps. At least two members of the armed forces must be present for the ceremony. The New York Honor Guard normally sends two soldiers to final services. New York is home to 943,000 veterans, according to Department of Veterans Affairs statistics. Of those, more than 300,000 are age 65 and older. The New York Army National Guard Military Forces Honor Guard was launched in 1999 as a state funded effort. Since 2000 the federal government has funded the program, with some state financial support in the past. Military Funeral services provided by New York Army National Guard Honor Guard in the Buffalo area last year totaled 1,155. Local Services provided for airmen are provided by the 107th Airlift Wing at Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, Niagara Falls which conducted 380 services in 2014.

North Collins High School Senior, Chris Pulinski, was in his normal routine Jan. 7, driving home from a gym in Hamburg. The only difference was that the area had been battered by the latest onslaught of lake effect snow. Southbound on Pierce Ave. in the Village of Hamburg, Pulinski and his girlfriend, Shea Elliot, saw a sight usually found only in action movies. A northbound vehicle went off the road. According to Pulinski, “The car hit a snowbank and went airborne. It had at least five feet of air under it.” Pulinski and Shea watched as the car came down and continued across four separate driveways before hitting a tree and coming to a stop. “All the cars around pulled over right away,” said Chris. But, only Pulinski went over to the stricken car. “There was a lady in the car and she was unconscious, her air bag didn't go off. I opened the car door and tapped her shoulder and tried to wake her up. It was then that Pulinski said he saw smoke, and some flame, in the front wheel well. “The car was still running and in drive,” said Pulinski, “I reached in and turned off the ignition and fortunately the fire stopped.” Pulinski kept an eye out if the fire would return. “I would have pulled her out of the car if it had, but I knew that it wouldn't be good if she had a neck or back injury,” he said. Aside from his North Collins study, Pulinski is also enrolled at the Ormsby Center where he is studying Criminal Justice. He credits the first aid training he is receiving there with helping him stay calm. Chris continued trying to revive the victim, eventually with success. “I found out she

Chris isn't sure but believes it was about 30 to 45 minutes from the incident's start to when Hamburg Village Police arrived. All that while he stayed with the victim, in the cold, talking to her. The responding officer took a statement from Pulinski. “He must have seen me shivering,” Chris says, “He took my information very quickly and let me go back to my car.” Hamburg Village Police report the victim did suffer a wrist injury, but did not require emergency attention.

ing little impact by they event. He almost seemed ashamed to be speaking about it and had difficulty remembering exactly what day it occurred on. It was North Collins School Superintendent Joan Thomas, who believed the student should receive some recognition and told the school board of his actions at its Jan. 13 meeting. Pulinski said that Ormsby, his teacher, Vincent Tobia, is an officer with the East Aurora Police Dept. Asked what his instructor thought about the incident, Chris said, “I haven't told him, I'm waiting for him to find out, he always knows what's going on.” As for his future, Pulinski hopes to one day join the ranks of law enforcement and his experience should serve him well. He never learned the name of the crash victim but that didn't bother the soft-spoken 19-yearold, “I'm glad I stopped,” he said, “It didn't look like anyone else was going to.”

No State aid increase expected for S-GI By Colleen Mahoney NEWS CORRESPONDENT

A Colden Elementary student will continue to receive medical attention from a school nurse, if need be, after the Springville-Griffith Institute Board of Education voted against abolishing 3.5 hours per week of the position. During the Jan. 6 meeting, Mary Beth Malloy addressed the board during public expression to explain that without a nurse there, her son, who has Type I Diabetes, will not receive the proper medical attention. “No one there is trained to check his blood sugar,” Malloy said, adding that mistakes made can be fatal. Later in the meeting, Superintendent Paul Connelly explained that both the principal and secretary of Colden Elementary would be trained to administer medicine, in the absence of a nurse. Board member Mike Connors voiced his displeasure for cutting nurse hours, stating it looked like an “isolated” cut, with not much thought put into it. “I’ve been against spending money, but this midyear cut, I can’t support it,” he said. “In my opinion, it doesn’t seem very well thought-out, it’s a concern” Both Chris Cerrone and Kara Kane agreed, with Cerrone adding that he’s been

in a school building when a medical emergency took place and there was no nurse; “It’s very frightening,” he said. Cutting back the hours would have saved the district $3,500, according to Connelly. Connors also reminded the board that any discussion surrounding positions needs to happen in a public forum, and should remain as a position, not a personnel, issue. The board once again tabled voting on the alternative veterans tax exemption, level G, after an initial vote left the board split. Missing from the meeting was member Jennifer Sullivan, leaving the results of the vote 2-2. President Alison Duwe and Cerrone voted against raising the level of exemption, which would provide $24,000 in exemption to non-combat veterans, up to $40,000 for combat veterans and up to $80,000 for disabled veterans. Duwe stated that some residents are already having trouble paying their tax bills, citing a handwritten letter they received last tax season, in which the author confessed she couldn’t pay her bill. “I’m open to sticking with what we passed … and making sure people in the district can afford this,” she said, speaking of the basic level that was passed on Dec. 16.

Connors and Kane both voted to approve the higher level. “I proposed level G … this has been my sacred cow, my personal wish to get this passed,” said Connors, who has been an advocate of the exemption since it was presented to the board in September. “We want to be a top tier district, we want to compete and be fiscally responsible.” The board is expected to revisit the vote at their next meeting. Business Administrator Ted Welch said he is “increasingly pessimistic” that the district will see any improvement in state aid for the 2015-16 school year. “I don’t see any help coming from Albany, certainly not from the Governor ’s office,” he said. “The best we can hope for … is a reduction in what gets taken away.” With the district facing a $1.6 million deficit in their budget, Welch is expecting a long budget season of unfavorable decisions, telling the board they’re going to “hate every suggestion” made to cut costs. The next board of education meeting will be Jan. 20, at 7 p.m. in the High School library and media center. A community conversation is expected to take place Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. in the Middle School cafeteria.

Gowanda comes from behind to earn first league win of season By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The Gowanda High School varsity girls basketball team posted its first league win of the season with a comefrom-behind victory over Cattaraugus-Little Valley, 34-28, on Jan. 8. The CCAA Division I East game was played on the Panthers’ home court. “This was our first league win and I was very happy with the hustle from the players,” said a jubilant Gowanda coach Jennifer DePasquale. “We had to step it up late in the game to pull out the victory.” The visiting Timberwolves led through the first three quarters of the game with several players contributing to the scoring coumn. Gowanda finally caught its neighbors to the south when it switched its defense and decided to press with two minutes remaining in the contest. “When we began to press, Raeann White had a couple of steals that she converted into points that put us in the lead,” DePasquale said. “We were down the whole game until the last two minutes.” Gowanda has shown solid progress since the beginning of the season, according to DePasquale. The Panthers were tied with large school Dunkirk midway through the fourth quarter just two nights earlier before the visiting Marauders made a late charge to seal the victory. However, the Lady Panthers were not going to be denied this time.

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

It was a wrestling match that featured winning streaks by each team as the Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Pine Valley High School wrestling team squared off against Fredonia on Jan. 7. The meet between the two southern tier programs was held in Fredonia. The first match started in the 132-pound weight class. The host “Hillbillies” recorded a pin to take a quick 6-0 lead. Fredonia proceeded to win the next two matches, also by pins, and increased its lead to 18-0. “We tried to adjust our lineup by shifting a few of our wrestlers to gain better matchups,” reasoned Timberwolves head coach Sam Grey. “It did not work out

as planned, but we did receive stellar performances from our leaders as the meet progressed.” Cattaraugus-Little Valley/Pine Valley then put together a string of six wins in a row via one pin, two decisions and three forfeits to take a 30-18 lead. However, Fredonia won the next six bouts, two by forfeits, to secure its 18-point victory. “Alex Kelly and Reggie Goodemote wrestled up a weight class and won,” Grey said. “Randy Grey moved up two classes and prevailed with a 6-5 decision that was impressive.” In the 106-pound weight class, Fredonia’s Lucas Green edged the coach’s son Sam Grey by a score of 4-1 in what was considered a hard-fought match. “It was a well-wrestled meet,” said Timberwolves co-coach Rex Brown, the former head coach at Pine Valley. “Everyone competed throughout the night on both sides of the mat.”

Catt.-LV will soon prepare for the County meet. The Fredonia wrestling program has been stellar for the past quarter century with multiple league titles and a host of individual Section VI champions. But programs like CattaraugusLittle Valley/Pine Valley have made strides in recent years and can now compete with the former wrestling juggernaut.

The Timberwolves have an upcoming meet with Gowanda before they prepare for the county meet during the first week in February. The state qualifying meet will follow with those winners advancing to the New York State championships Feb. 27-28 in Albany at Times Union Area.

“Ninth graderAlexis Hawkins was a beast on the boards with 23 rebounds and led our team in scoring with 12 points,” DePasquale said. “She has progressed in every game this season with her rebounding and hustle. The entire team came together and found a way to win.” Raeann White also played a fine game for Gowanda. She finished with nine points, five rebounds and four steals. Junior Jennah Stelley chipped in with six points while Gabby Lay had two points, three rebounds and three steals. With the win, Gowanda raised its overall record to 3-5 entering a Jan. 15 contest against Portville. The Panthers play Salamanca Jan. 21 at home and visit Randolph on Jan. 23. For Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Meghan Jones led the way with 10 points. Hannah Powers also played well for the Timberwolves and meshed eight.

Gowanda grapplers defeat Dunkirk

If your deer season is winding down and you still haven’t taken that big buck, don’t give up. Here are some things you can try. First of all, find areas where deer have not been disturbed by other hunters. Second, don’t hunt at times when everyone else has or is hunting. Go during weekdays, hunt when it’s too cold or rainy outside for other hunters, or hunt during your lunch hour.

Only a six-point loss to Maple Grove earlier in the season has slowed down the Gowanda High School varsity wrestling team. On Jan. 6, the Panthers continued to build on their strong season with a 4927 home victory against Dunkirk/Silver Creek. The meet between the two southern tier programs was held in the Gowanda Middle School gymnasium in front of a good crowd. Although the visiting Marauders lost by 22 points, the meet was much closer than the final score indicated. Gowanda picked up 24 points via forfeits in four different weight classes while Dunkirk picked up forfeit points in the 152-pound weight class and the heavyweight division. On the mat, there were some very competitive matches. Billy Seiders gave the visitors an early lead with a 7-1 decision in the 132-pound weight class. Gowanda’s Ethan Francis followed and won by forfeit at 138. Panther grappler Josh Balzer increased Gowanda’s lead with a 17-2 technical fall over Kenny Pisa at 145. After Dunkirk/Silver Creek picked up six points via a forfeit at 152, Gowanda’s all-time wins leader, Lucas McKeever, pinned his opponent in quick fashion.

The Forestville High School co-ed varsity bowling teams squared off against Randolph at Lucky Lanes on Jan. 5. While the boys won all three games against the Cardinals, the girls team managed only a single victory. For the boys, games that had total pin counts of 878 and two identical 899s were more than enough to dismantle the undermanned Cardinals from Randolph. “Although Randolph was missing a few bowlers, our

The Gowanda wrestling team beat Dunkirk/Silver Creek, 49-27. The next match saw several delays as Gowanda’s Chris Hammond fought through a bloodied nose and won by a score of 17-9. Teammate Dalton Mills followed Hammond’s victory with a pin of his own that tied the match at 27 apiece. However, Dunkirk/Silver Creek forfeited at 99 pounds with Matt Wargo picking up the free points and seventh grader Chelton Bellinger’s 10-0 decision put Gowanda in the lead for good. “We picked up a forfeit at 99 pounds that was crucial,” commented Gowanda’s as-

sistant coach, Ray Logan. “For only the second time this year, we were able to fill that weight class.” David Poff won by forfeit in the 120 weight class, which secured Gowanda’s victory. Dunkirk Silver/ Creek won the last match at 127, but it was too little, too late. Following the match, Dunkirk/Silver Creek head coach Joe McMurdy had nothing but praise for the three wrestlers on his varsity team from Silver Creek High School. “Billy Seiders, Kenny Pisa

and Brad Yochum are great kids to coach,” he said. “Seiders is a sophomore with a record of 18-5, Pisa won the Ripley tournament and Yochum has shown great improvement in only his second year in the sport.” Both teams have a few more dual meets and invitational tournaments on their schedule before the county and state qualifiers take place in February. McKeever should be a solid contender and may represent Section VI at this year’s New York State championship meet.

team had some fine individual performances,” noted Forestville coach Jean Flagler. “Macadom Gadewoltz was our top bowler with games of 244, 179, and 195 for a 618 set.” Close behind Gadewoltz was Brad Dillenburg with a three-game set of 168, 180 and 243. Other notable performances turned in by Forestville were Phil Narraway, who notched the coveted 200 mark with a 201 game. Teammate Austin Pierce, who was just three pins short of reaching a 200 game, rolled a 197 that aided the sweep. For the girls, Randolph came out and won the first

two games before Forestville avoided the sweep by winning the third. “Emily Narraway led the way for us with games of 182, 194 and 214 for a threegame set of 590,” Flagler said at the conclusion of the match. “Shawntai LeBarron also bowled well for us and put three good games together,” Flagler said of LeBarron, whose best individual game was a 176. January will be a busy month for both teams at Forestville as they had a return match with Randolph at the Jamestown Bowling Center in Jamestown on Jan.13. The Hornet “keglers” then returned home the follow-

ing day on Jan. 14 to face Silver Creek at Lucky Lanes. Results for the match against Randolph and the tilt with Silver Creek weren’t available at press time. The co-ed bowling match against Silver Creek was also be the school’s “Strike Out For Cancer” event. The Black Knights from Silver Creek are also Forestville’s nearest rivalry. “This is a special match and serves as our annual fundraiser for Cancer Awareness,” Flagler noted before the match. “We hope everyone will come out and not only watch our athletes bowl, but also support this worthwhile event.”

Ryan-coached Bills will ‘be the bullies,’ new skipper says By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Just before the conclusion of Wednesday’s press conference introducing Rex Ryan as the newest head coach of the Buffalo Bills, it was brought to Ryan’s attention that the Bills, who haven’t made the playoffs in 15 seasons and are coming off just their second winning season since 2004, have been pushed around in recent years. Those days, Ryan said, are over. Ryan, the former Jets skipper, put an exclamation point on a press conference that he sliced and diced through with the swagger and charm that made him a media magnet in New York when he assured those listening that the Rex Ryancoached Buffalo Bills will not be pushed around. Conversely, they’ll be the ones doing the pushing. “We’re not going to get pushed around. I can promise you that,” Ryan said in front of a glut of media at One Bills Drive. “In fact, we’re going to be the bullies. That’s who we are. We will build a bully and that’s what we can’t wait to get started doing.” Ryan became the 18th head coach in Bills history when he reportedly signed a five-year deal last week. He’ll replace Doug Marrone, who guided the team to a 9-7 record this year before resigning shortly after the Bills’ season ended. In taking over, Ryan, a descendant of the Brian Billick coaching tree who is heralded for his defensive mind, has parted ways with former defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. He’s replaced him with Dennis Thurman, who was the Jets’

defensive coordinator the past two seasons. Additionally, Ryan has hired former San Francisco coordinator Greg Roman, a coach notorious for his hard-nosed, ground-and-pound style on offense, to join he and Thurman on staff and lead the offense moving forward. In his opening statement to the media, Bills owner Terry Pegula noted that the hiring of Ryan — and the subsequent additions of Thurman and Roman —represent an organization-wide movement to make the Bills “a nightmare” to play against. “Basically, we decided that we want the Buffalo Bills to be a nightmare to play against,” Pegula said, adding that the team decided to go with a veteran coach vs. an up-and-coming mind due to where the team is right now. “Rex Ryan-coached teams have two characteristics: they’re always great defensively, and they always work hard. “That’s our objective. With the staff that Rex is building, and with his knowledge of the game, we’re going to be a tough team defensively and ‘a nightmare’to play against.” The Bills are going to be held to high standards, too, apparently. When discussing Buffalo’s defense, which ranked fourth in the NFL this past season, Ryan said it “is probably a little disappointing,” that the unit ranked there. “That’s not where my expecPHOTO COURTESY OF THE BUFFALO BILLS tations are,” said Ryan, whose defenses in New York ranked in the top eight five of the six The Bills formally introduced Rex Ryan as the 18th head coach in team hisseasons he was there and never tory during a press conference on Wednesday, Jan. 14. lower than 11th . “I know we’ll lead the league in defense [next year].

replaced after a Week 4 loss to Houston by recently signed veteran Kyle Orton. Orton gave the Bills some productivity at the position but proved to be wildly inconsistent — and immobile — throughout the year. He retired after the Bills’ last game. Ryan noted that he “isn’t concerned at all” that the quarterback situation in Buffalo is similar to what he had in New York and said that a major first step in correcting the woes the Bills faced offensively was taken when they brought Roman on board. “I’ve never seen a guy get criticized more than Greg Roman for going to three championship games,” Ryan said, referencing heat Roman took despite leading the 49ers’ offense to a Super Bowl appearance and two NFC title games. “He’s an outstanding coach.” While Ryan’s Jets didn’t fare well during the back two-thirds of his six-year tenure in New York — the team missed the playoffs each of the past four years, had two 8-8 records and a pair of losing seasons — Ryan rejected the idea that he’s nothing more than a mediocre coach. “The record may say that [I’m a mediocre coach], especially this year,” Ryan said. “But I’m not a mediocre coach and anybody that thinks so, I would challenge them with that.” He is so confident in his coaching abilities, in fact, that Ryan — who has infamously guaranteed Jets Super Bowl victories in the past — made another guarantee during the press conference. “I know it’s been 15 years since the Bills made the playoffs,” Ryan said. “Well get ready, man. We’re going. We are going.”

Chautauqua County opens snowmobile season As a result of the heavy, recent snowfall, Chautauqua County Executive Vincent Horrigan has announced that some of the county's over 400 miles of snowmobile trails, have opened. The trail network runs near service stations, restaurants, and accommodations. These trails take riders across rolling foothills, open meadows, and through forest. They are also the result of a strong collaboration among landowners, volunteers,

and Chautauqua County’s five snowmobile clubs: Chautauqua Lake Snowmobile Club, Cherry Creek Sno-Goers Club, Ellery Sno-Cruisers Snowmobile Club, Lake Effect Trailbreakers Snowmobile Club, and Sunset Drifters Snowmobile Club. Residents and visitors are reminded to ensure their sleds are registered and ready to go. Snowmobile registration is available at any of the county’s three Depart-

ment of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices, in Dunkirk, Mayville, and Jamestown. Registration is $45 for snowmobile club members and $100 for non-members. DMV offices are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Monday through Friday and each office also offers extended hours once a week where they are open until 5:45 p.m. The Dunkirk office is open late on Mondays, the Mayville office is open late on Wednesdays, and the Jamestown office

is open late on Thursdays. With the start of the snowmobile season, the DMV in Mayville will soon begin its Saturday hours, which are dependent on snowfall. Saturday hours are usually 9 a.m. to noon, but residents may visit the County Clerk’s website or to call the Mayville DMV at (716) 753-4229 to confirm Saturday hours. For current snowmobile trail conditions call 1-800242-4569 (press 2, and then 5).

The Gowanda High School Thespian Society will present Joseph Kesselring’s comedy classic, Arsenic and Old Lace, Jan. 30 and 31, on the Gowanda Central School auditorium stage at 7 p.m. both evenings. The annual winter play is directed by John Jarzynski and features a cast of fourteen Gowanda High students. This is Jarzynski’s twenty-fifth Gowanda Thespian stage presentation and the second time he has done Arsenic and Old Lace. “This is a very funny play and the comedy easily stands the test of time. I’m excited about doing it again because the characters are so strong. I think the audience will love what the students bring to these characters,” Jarzynski said last week. Arsenic and Old Lace is the

story of a pair of charming and “innocent” ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers whom they poison. Their nephew Teddy, who thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt, is “digging“the Panama Canal in the basement and assists in the caper as he buries the unfortunate men as yellow fever victims. The nephew of the two lovable Aunts, Mortimer Brewster, is a successful New York City drama critic and is fighting his own dilemma as he is also a self-proclaimed “forever” bachelor who has fallen in love with the “girl next door,” Elaine Harper, and in a moment of weakness, asks her to run away with him to get married. Stopping at his Aunt’s home to tell them the news and pick up Elaine, Mortimer discovers the body of the latest fever victim before he has been carried into the basement to join the other 11 already interred there.

Versailles Auxiliary celebrates year past Looking back over 2014 the Versailles Auxiliary hosted two Towel Bingos at the Reservation Fire Hall. There was a Mother’s Day, mother/daughter breakfast and the Easter egg hunt on the commons was well attended. The firemen and auxiliary worked together on this event, allowing the children to participate in the traditional Easter event. In August, many attended the annual dinner at the Native Pride Restaurant. That was quite a group venture and Mary Stuhr, “The flower lady” and president of the auxiliary, gave bouquets to members and guests. The annual picnic was fun for all, especially for the children, with games, food and a bounce house. The Seventh Day Adventist Church of Perrysburg, represented by Amber and Jon Lewis, organized the games and and provided prizes. The auxiliary provided the bounce house, drinks, chicken, etc. while the firemen provided and cooked hotdogs. At the annual event the new pavilion was officially presented with a ribbon cutting and a speech by County Legislator, Paula Stockman. Perrysburg Town board member, Mary Stuhr, who is also the auxiliary president, provided gifts for many present in appreciation for their work on the pavilion project. Thanksgiving found the Auxiliary distributing Thanks-

giving dinner fixings to various residents who were appreciative of this thoughtfulness. At Christmas, the auxiliary distributed gifts to several people in the fire district. There was also singing and socializing with Santa at the tree lighting ceremony at the Fire Hall with cookies and punch and gifts for the children. Thank you to Dixie Land Tree Farm for the tree. The December meeting was hosted by Sue Edler, who, with her husband, John, opened their home to auxiliary members and guests. Elections were held and the membership voted to keep the current officers in place for another year. Officers are: Mary Stuhr, President; Inez Edler, Vice President; Sue Edler, Treasurer and Connie Johnson, Secretary. The Auxiliary continues to welcome new members. Any interested persons may contact a current member about joining. Neighbors are invited to attend a meeting and participate. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at the Versailles Fire Hall at 7 p.m. with three exceptions during the year Refreshments are served. The auxiliary remains appreciative of the many people who were generous with their time, money, energy and donations during the year.. There are so many to thank that to name one might indicate a lack of gratitude to others.

He thinks Teddy has done it, but discovers to his horror that it is his Aunts who are the murderers. Confused and beside himself, he juggles trying to commit Teddy, deal with the revelation about his Aunts, and put off Elaine until he can straighten the whole mess out without anyone being arrested. Add in the arrival of another strange brother, Jonathan, and his assistant Dr. Einstein who have their own body to dispose of and are running from the law and the scene is set for a hilarious night of comedy. Made famous by Cary Grant in the Frank Capra directed movie by the same name, Arsenic and Old Lace has successfully been performed on stage for over 75 years by countless professional, community and school acting companies. The cast, in order of appearance includes Gabrielle McCormack as Abby Brewster, Ryan Monat as the Rev. Dr.

Harper, Joe Kruszka as Teddy Brewster, Matt Kruszka as Officer Brophy, Kala Farley as Officer Klein, Kimberly Gernatt as Martha Brewster, Colleen Steward as Elaine Harper, Jack Van Wey as Mr. Gibbs, Dakota Lord as Jonathan Brewster, Lee-Arden Neamon as Dr. Einstein, Haylee Leatherbarrow as Officer O’Hara, Ben Gross as Lt. Rooney and Kurt Stitzel as Mr. Witherspoon. “Many times in my 25 years of directing I have been fortunate enough to be able to match the characters in a play with the personalities of my kids,” Jarzynski said at recent rehearsal. “This cast is one of those. I have the perfect actors for these parts and already I see that they feel comfortable. It is perfect for them.” Tickets are $5 for the general public, $3 for students and senior citizens over 65 years of age and are available at the door on the night of each show.

Chautauqua County was among 28 counties named by the White House as a federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. Said Wendy Luce, Divisional Director of Patient Care. “With opiate addiction on the rise in our area, these programs will assist us in utilizing best practices to serve the affected families.” Previously, patients had to travel out of the area for this type of treatment. “It makes us unique and strengthens our health care network, as we position ourselves for future growth.” Appointments with Dr. Hallasey may be made at Gowanda Urgent Care & Medical Center , 532-8100 or Forestville Primary Care Center, 965-9738.

He worked in a private family practice in Amherst from 1990 to 2003 and served as associate clinical instructor at SUNY Buffalo. From 2003 to 2005, he served as flight surgeon at Langley Air Force Base and at the Hampton VA Medical Center. Since returning to the area Dr. Hallasey has held positions with Lifetime Health, his own private practice in East Aurora,

Niagara Falls VA Outpatient Clinic, Southgate Medical Group, and the Beacon Center. “It’s wonderful for us to be able to have someone with Dr. Hallasey’s experience and expertise serving our community,” said Scott Butler, Divisional Director of Business Development. TLC Health has been providing treatment forchemical dependency for years. However, Dr. Hallasey’s arrival marks the first time that the health system can provide much needed Suboxone and Vivitrol treatments. Suboxone is a prescription medication that can help treat heroin addiction and dependence on other opiates. In a similar manner, Vivitrol may be used in the treatment of alcohol or opioid dependence. According to local health officials, the rate of hospitalizations for drug-related reasons in Chautauqua and Erie Counties ranks significantly higher than state and national averages.

In addition to providing the typical services one would expect from a salon – cutting and coloring hair, polishing nails – Kim Robbins, owner of Kim’s Color & Cuts in Lawtons, has taken a more unexpected direction by offering sauna therapy. “With everything I do, I try to find the most natural way to do it. I stay away from pharmaceuticals as much as possible,” Robbins stated. For example, she utilizes ammonia-free hair coloring, organic shampoos and conditioners, formaldehydefree nail polish, natural goat milk soap and certified organic hand balms and lotions in her salon. “I suffer from arthritis. I wanted to relieve my joints and was looking for an alternative way to reduce the inflammation,” the salon owner noted. “The infrared heat from the sauna penetrates deep into the tissues and muscles, and you sweat out the chemicals and toxins. “I know that many of my customers also suffer from
