By Richard Westlund NEWS CORRESPONDENT

The Jan. 7, meeting of the Gowanda Central Board of Education began with a presentation by District Superintendent James Klubek on the schools plan to apply for Federal Title Vlll Impact Aide. This system proposes to make up for schools in districts where they lose out on taxation of their district because of Federal lands in their districts such as military bases, Indian reservations and such, for which the school doses not get tax income. The system used is quite complicated on just how the government determines how much aide is due, or in their view justified, to a particular district. Klubek gave an explanation of the system used. In any case should the school be successful, attaining this aide will be a while, as initiating the system requires a bit of time for various checks and balances to take place. Klubek also stated that through the cooperation of the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s office we will have a School Resource Officer for the second semester. There were discussions on several subjects such as getting BOCES input and

DELIVERY SERVICE-Volunteers gather to deliver the many boxes of Christmas dinner fixings to area families. 98 families received boxes. When the Gowanda Lions Club and Gowanda Police Department set out to organize its annual Holiday Helping Hands program, they knew they could count on community support. And, according to organizers, that aid proved to be amazing. The groups were able to brighten the Christmas of 255 children and provide food for a Christmas dinner to 98 families. An incredible $5,738.00 was donated and $6,008.09 spent on these programs. Here are a few of the organizations who lent a hand. The Gowanda Teacher’s Association provided financial

and toy donations and provided numerous volunteers to deliver food boxes. The Gowanda Corrections Facility was a major donor providing both gifts and donations to the program. Gowanda Ford made a donation and ran a “Fill the Pickup” program that also provided many toys and food donations. Other key participants were: Gowanda Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, Gowanda Harley Davidson with the support of the Gowanda Hog Chapter, Community Bank, Jesse’s Toy Box, and Shop N Save all collected toy donations.

Financial support was received from the St. Vincent DePaul Society, Collins Center Fireman’s Auxiliary, Collins Firemen’s Auxiliary, Forts Grocery, Gable Bros. Furniture, Gowanda Shrine Club, Gowanda Veterans Association Men’s Auxiliary, Johnson’s Plumbing and Heating, Kettle Corn Man, McCormack’s Hardware, McDonalds, Slovenian Club, Women of the Moose, Gowanda Collision, Gowanda Eye Care, Gowanda Federal Credit Union, Gowanda Fireman’s Auxiliary, Rolling Hills and Valley Pharmacy. Many donations also came in from individuals St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church opened their school building, and the Town of Collins allowed use of the Painter Center, to house the programs safely. Dan Stroud, volunteered to pick up the food for the dinner boxes,and then helped unload, and organize the boxes. Many other volunteers manned the toy distribution location and helped to load and deliver dinner boxes. Sandy Gaylord, a member of the organizing committee said, on behalf of the entire committee, “It truly took the whole community to make Holiday Helping Hands possible. You put smiles on the faces of many children and brought joy to their families. Thank you all so much.”

Drainage issues still a concern in North Collins By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

Several Gurney Avenue residents came to the Village of North Collins Board meeting on Jan. 6 to find out about flood mitigation plans for their neighborhood. While Mayor Vincent George had promised a new drain pipe would be installed last summer, residents noted that it has not. And those residents have taken to cleaning out the main drain pipe in the area themselves with each big storm. For his part the Mayor responded, “That was supposed to be done, we just didn't get to it. I really have no excuse why it didn't go in sooner, we have the pipe.” Public Works Director Mike

and we want to get that done.” George added that plans for the Gurney Avenue area also include yearly cleaning of the creek there. Perry said excavation and laying the pipe should only take one day, but wants to wait until at least early Spring to begin. “I don't like to gamble,” Perry said. In a related matter, Jason D. Christopher learned he was the highest bidder among three for a surplus, village-owned parcel on Gurney. The Board awarded the lot to Christopher for $3,500. Code Enforcement Officer Phil Tremblay reported 19 permits had been issued for work in the village during 2014, including for the construction of one new home. He also said he is working

Perry said an early engineering specification slowed the progress. “The engineer told us to install a 36-inch pipe. But there is a gas line 2-feet down and a water main below that, it only gives me 24-inches of clearance.” Perry suggested a workaround the problem and plans to install two, 16-inch pipes alongside the already existing 36-inch one that should handle the full capacity needed. He also said that once the Eagle Drive diversion project is complete, “That should eliminate about 90-percent of the water that's going to Gurney now.” George told the residents the Gurney pipe “Was the first item on our budget workshop agenda. We've got the Eagle Drive drainage project going on

with Village Attorney Richard Schaus as the courts are reviewing a condemnation order against an abandoned home at 10375 Main Street. The mayor noted that the preliminary budget for next year will contain a new line for demolition. George read a letter from Chris Cerne, owner of Hamburg Camp Auto Sales on his acquisition of the former Campland site on Main St. Cerne pledged he would keep the area neat, would not be storing junk cars, and would house his detail shop in the structure. He does not plan to offer auto servicing. George added that Tremblay has been working with Cerne to meet all village regulations. The tentative budget for the village will see employees receive raises and the garbage

fee will rise $3 to $4 dollars next year, but still keeps taxes flat according to George. The mayor added that a line item has been added to purchase new, digital water meters, “Because we can't get parts for the old meters anymore.” Despite the line, there will be no increase in water rates for 2015. Trustee Corinne Leone received permission from the Board to actively solicit names for a “Veterans Wall of Honor,” as well as a “Village Wall of Firsts” Information on inclusion in the two projects will be posted on the village's web site. Leone will also present North Collins high school students the opportunity to be a non-voting Trustee on the Village Board. Leone sees six-month terms as a chance for young people to learn how government works.

In other business the board: • Approved the fire protection contract with the Town of North Collins for $30,050. The amount is the same as last year. • Designated Trustee and Deputy Mayor Kathleen Myers to execute all authority during Mayor George's upcoming vacation. • Received correspondence from the Town of Collins requesting that any monies remaining in the Helmuth account be held for at least six months to handle any expenses that may yet occur. • Renewed membership with the State Dept. of Environmental Conservation for $100. • Approved payment of bills for the month of $162,457.02. The Village Board will meet next on Feb. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the Village Hall.

Collins organizes for 2015 By Richard Westlund NEWS CORRESPONDENT

As its first order of business for the Jan. 5, 2015 Collins Town Board meeting, Supervisor David Tessmer presented 60 resolutions for the year, which set salaries and policies controlling the activities of the town and its employees. The Town Board approved all with a unanimous vote. As such the Town Supervisor will receive $18,000 annually plus an additional $1,500 for overseeing the water department. The four elected Town Council persons will be paid an annual salary of $6,000 each. The Town Clerk is scheduled to receive an annual salary of $39,119.07, and the Highway Superintendent a salary of $52,284.97 with an additional $2,000 for overseeing the Transfer Station and Parks Departments. The Town Attorney will receive $11,480 for the year. These salaries all reflect a zero increase over last year. Appointments were essen-

tially the same as last year. Mary Clark will again be the Deputy Town Supervisor Joanne Kibler, Deputy Clerk and Peter Waterman, Deputy Highway Superintendent. Tessmer reported the town has received its share of the sales tax collected in Erie County in the fourth quarter. It was a bit over $200,000. This brought the total received for the year to about $595,897., an increase of about 16-percent over last year. Town Clerk Becky Jo Summers reported December transactions amounted to $4,786.00 with the town’s portion being $4,611.76. Code Enforcement Officer Gene Degman reported a total of 53 building permits during 2014. Those permits represented an estimated value of $1,921,280.00 of which the town received $10,259.00 in fees. Permits issued included: seven for single family homes; eight for home additions; eleven for storage buildings and pole barns; three for non residential demolitions, with

the remainder issued for a variety of miscellaneous structures. In other matters the board: • Enacted Local Law #1 for 2015 entitled a Local Law to provide for the codification of the Local Laws, Ordinances and Certain Resolutions of the town into a Municipal Code to be designated The Code of the Town of Collins. • Approved the permit for a kennel operated by Todd Struble of West Becker Rd. • Hired the following for the winter recreation program: new hires at $9 p/h, Melissa Budziszewski, Ryan Mammoser, and as an alternate Kim Duncan. Returning experienced at $9.30 p/h Tom McMullen, Rebecca McMullen, Christian Peglowski, Chandler Kusiowski and Tina Marrocco. The next regular meeting of the Collins Board will be in the Collins Town Hall at 7 p.m. on Tuesday Jan. 20. The Town Hall will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19, for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The next trash day will be Saturday Jan. 31.

‘Tree farm’ now part of Cattaraugus-Little Valley NEWS CORRESPONDENT

At the regular meeting of the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Board of Education on Dec. 9, the Board received a number of presentations from its student body. Sixth-grade class officers submitted a field trip request that would go to Gettysburg and Hershey Park. The trip would include 86 students and 50 adults. The students came equipped with a Power Point presentation listing the educational and fun activities planned for the trip. The eighth-grade class also submitted a field trip request for a trip to Washington D.C. in June. Two students acted as spokespersons and informed the Board that 38 students have committed to attend the trip and have submitted a down payment. The class of 2015 submitted their request for a Senior Trip to Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, Virginia in May. That trip would include visits to Busch Gardens Physics Fair, Virginia Marine Science Museum and a ghost tour of Williamsburg. The Environmental Science class and ECOS Club at the school gave a presentation

about Siviculture- the art and science of maintaining forests. Some concerns the students said they have included the growth of valuable trees on school-owned property. Science teacher Anthony Schabloski had students present the Board with a sign stating the district now has a “certified tree farm.” A packet was also given explaining a proposal for a Forestry and Wildlife Research Center. A discussion later resulted in the Board agreeing with the concept presented in principal. Superintendent Jon Peterson introduced some new faculty and staff members from the last year, including: Kathy Forster, Sheila Johnston, Jessica Kerswill, Kelli Russell, Heather Johnson, Amanda Urbanski, Denise Straub, Ashley Kilby, Chris Dzierzanowski, Gabrielle Williams and Paula Jones. Peterson mentioned he feels there may be a need to lobby for an increase in state school aid since the “Financial plan for the government has a surplus of $4.6 billion but only projects increases for school aid as 3.9 percent of that surplus.” Elementary Principal Aaron Wolfe told the Board the “Secret Santa Store” was available to students to purchase gifts for their families.

Wolfe said the goal of the store is for students to develop an “outward focus” so they are not allowed to purchase items for themselves. Grades 5-7 Principal and Director of Special Education, Gayle Pavone, reported she was able to share her experiences growing up in Kenya with sixth-graders. High School Principal Tony Giannicchi made mention of Senior Kyle Morton who recently participated in All-State Choir, a very select group. Giannicchi commended Mike Trenchard and Dane Moore for their dedication to this student. Giannicchi’s endorsed the enthusiasm of Schabloski saying that “He shows that passion in virtually everything he does as a teacher.” In the Student’s Report Hunter Phinney reported the seventhgrade has been using their iPads full-time, the JCC biology class used high-powered equipment to explore mosquito DNA for a project they are doing. In other news, the Board: • Approved Audit Corrective Action Plan for the year ended June 30, 2014 and submitted December 1, 2014. The next meeting will be held January 13 at 6:30 p.m., Cattaraugus.

Donor was missed Editor, The United Way of Gowanda recently thanked a number of local businesses who contributed gift certificates for a drawing in December intended to increase giving to the local United Way. The United Way apologizes to Terrie Dehos and her salon Hair Etc. for inadvertently omitting her name from the list. We truly appreciated her

support, along with all the other local businesses, of our efforts to financially encourage local causes. We remind everyone that the 2014-2015 campaign is still on for donations to United Way of Gowanda at Box 324, Gowanda. Edith Schell, Secretary/treasurer, United Way of Gowanda

Enjoyed light show Thank you to those folks who Editor: What a wonderful display made that possible. George F. Ries of Christmas lights to look at Perrysburg while driving on Route 39 into the Town of Perrysburg.

Thank you Helmuth Fire Control Editor, The North Collins Village Board would like to thank the dedicated people of Helmuth Fire Control for their service to our community. The people responsible for manning the fire control over the years have done an outstanding job for all the communities involved. There are many who have given their time and expertise to make this service possible for the safety and well being of our citizens. Two individuals were there from the onset, the late Keith Dillingham and Pete Loretto Jr. To the many dispatchers who

worked and manned the center, we applaud you for your service. Helmuth Fire Control was disbanded on Dec. 30 and dispatch services are now provided through the Town of Evans. Words cannot express how grateful we are for your time, dedication and service you all have given to protect our community. Thank You The North Collins Village Board.

Trailers set to depart soon A recent article in the Gowanda News highlighted Nick Crassi and Deborah Chadsey’s comments about the FEMA trailer we have in Gowanda. To clear up any misconceptions related to the comments in the article, I would like to point out that: · There has been a great deal of action on getting the trailers moved over the past several months, as TLC has already found a worth charity to receive the trailer, negotiated with OWL Homes and Kirst Construction to move it using their equipment and people, and prepaid the moving fees. · The delays had nothing to do with bankruptcy or TLC’s financial situation. The simple truth is that there are only a handful of companies out there with the proper equipment and expertise

extremely good cause as the trailer has been donated to Pastor Frank Cerny and Pathways Christian Fellowship to be used as a much needed rural outreach center in South Wales. I should point out that the idea of scrapping the trailer is absurd and FEMA would probably have a great deal to say on the subject. And, despite Ms. Chadsey’s comments to the contrary, TLC is in no way considering the liquidation of its assets. We have made many strides toward regaining financial stability and exiting Chapter 11 bankruptcy and continue discussions with several very interested partners who want to ensure our success for many years to come. Our goal at TLC Health Network is, as it has always been, to provide the people of Gowanda with high quality healthcare

options despite all of the difficulty surrounding providing rural healthcare these days. I think what has been lost while focusing on the trailer is how hard we have fought to keep direct access to healthcare in Gowanda and how successful our efforts have been thus far in terms of Gowanda Urgent Care & Medical Center. I think this is something we all can be proud of as it was accomplished through a joint effort between TLC Health Network, Gowanda’s elected officials, and area residents. And, I hope that this may one day be the focus of future articles as opposed to one (admittedly frustrating) trailer situation. Scott A. Butler, MBA Div.

to move such a building. · TLC was always motivated to move the trailer as soon as possible, but had to work through proper FEMA channels, as that was who owned the trailer and needed to approve all subsequent uses for the trailer. · We have been assured that the trailer is being moved (assuming no weather issues) on Jan. 12. · We have already reached out to the person whose property is closest to the trailer and explained the situation and offered our support with keeping his access to his home clear. We also are offering our staff and equipment this spring to address any issues with his front lawn and driveway that might have arisen with the placement of his trailer. · This has all been for an

In the beginning on 2014 I was elected by my colleagues in the Legislature to serve as the first Republican Chairman in 37 years. It was one of the highest honors I have received during my tenure as a public official, and it has been a privilege to serve in the capacity. As we enter the New Year I have reflected on 2014 and I am very proud of the accomplishments the Legislature recorded and optimistic that 2015 will see continued success. As you may recall, one of the final votes taken by the Legislature in 2014 was to unanimously adopt the 2015 budget with a tax decrease. The new legislative majority agreed on a package that respects taxpayers by

lowering the tax rate while still providing quality services and investing in the community. The adopted budget also included $100,000 in cuts from the Legislature’s own budget. We said we would lead by example and we delivered. This is just the beginning. This past year we put a lot of emphasis on road repair and will be carrying that message through to 2015 and beyond. We have to be diligent when it comes to infrastructure maintenance. If we ignore minor repairs now, we will be paying much more for major repairs later. That is why our Caucus allocated an additional $5 million from surplus for 2014 road repairs. This was in addition to the amount approved by the legislature in the County’s Road Project List. We believed that this funding

would be extremely beneficial to the county’s Department of Public Works as it faced many challenges following a difficult 2014 winter. Thanks to the efforts of our county crews and contractors, we were able to accomplish a lot more work than had originally been scheduled. I have heard from many residents who were grateful to see terrible roads finally repaired. In addition, The Legislature formed the Erie County Bridge and Road Infrastructure Maintenance Advisory Board in May to take a community-wide approach to address the significant concerns with the county’s roads and bridges. County officials in a partnership with our local town officials plan to work together to craft a more comprehensive road plan that addresses the worsening conditions of our county roads.

The Caucus also led the charge to deny salary increases for the County Executive, Clerk, Comptroller and Sheriff. We did not agree with the Erie County Citizens Salary Review Commission’s recommendations and voted against any increases. Elected officials should serve the public because they feel it is a civic duty, not because of the rate of pay. These are just a few of the highlights from 2014. Overall, I believe the County Legislature has improved accountability and transparency across the County and is focused on serving the taxpayers. If you have any questions about a county matter, please contact me at 858-8850 or email john.mills@erie.gov. Wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year.

Curbside electronic waste banned Brenda Falkner 532-2288

A new law making it illegal to put electronic waste in the trash or at the curb with regular trash went into effect on January 1in New York State. The legislation is aimed to both eliminate e-waste entering landfills and boost the recycling of the materials contained in electronic equipment. The new law includes common electronic gear such as computers and peripheral equipment, televisions, DVD players, and smaller portable electronic devices. “The New Year brings with it new laws along with a new awareness of our responsibil-

ity to the environment and to future generations, and we must make the effort to protect both by being responsible stewards of our world today. Electronic devices are indispensable to our lives, but are dangerous when carelessly disposed of,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “Recycling electronics and eliminating e-waste are steps we must take today towards building a cleaner Erie County in the future. All residents should be aware of the law and make sure they are properly recycling their electronics.”

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, e-waste is the fastest-growing municipal waste stream in the nation; however, a large part of what is called “e-waste” is not actually waste but rather electronic equipment or parts that can be recycled for materials or marketed for reuse. Recent cost increases related to e-waste disposal, particularly for items such as televisions and non flat-screen computer monitors, have also put pressure on municipal disposal budgets. The NYS e-waste law, one of the most comprehensive in

the country, also regulates the disposal and recycling of cell phones, rechargeable batteries, and electronics for commercial entities. Erie County has been working with local municipalities, represented by the area’s two solid waste boards, to increase the availability of e-waste recycling sites. More information on what items are accepted by local municipalities can be found at the county’s website , while other information on local recycling opportunities can be had by calling (716) 858-4805.

Painter Center VA office now handicapped-accessible

TRI-COUNTY CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER 532-9738

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

Through the support from Town of Collins officials, the Veterans Affairs office that has been located in the L.K. Painter Community Center in Collins for over 20 years has now moved to a handicapped-accessible, ground-floor location in the building. According to Town Supervisor David Tessmer, this is something the Town Board has wanted to do for many years, dating back to previous administrations, but could never get the pieces to fall into place. Doug Martindale, who handles maintenance at the Painter Center for the town, said it was tough seeing the veterans and their families struggling to get up the stairs into the building. “It was a very awkward situation,” he noted. “Now they can come in with a wheelchair.” “We committed to whatever we had to do to get them here,” Tessmer commented. He estimated that Martindale did 90 percent of the work to remodel the office, and the rest was handled by contractors. The staff at the VA office said the veterans they serve are very appreciative of the town’s efforts to supply easier access, as many are elderly or disabled. Elderly veterans who need to transition to nursing care will come to the office for help.

REWARDING ACCOMPLISHMENT – Town of Collins Supervisor David Tessmer, left, and Doug Martindale, who were instrumental in the relocation of the Veterans Affairs office, have a seat in the new waiting area and survey the fruits of their labor. The staff consists of a secretary and a counselor from the New York State Department of Veterans Affairs who assist veterans in accessing benefits available to them from the Federal Department of Veterans Affairs. Benefits include compensation, disability, pension, health care, education and career counseling. Additionally, a federal counselor comes to the Collins location once a month to handle combat-related claims, including mental health. “They were very helpful. If I didn’t come here, I wouldn’t be able to tackle it on my own,”

remarked Joseph Cegielski, a Navy veteran from Buffalo who came out to Collins to get assistance with his disability claim. Because the system is tough to navigate, the VA counselor noted that nine out of ten veterans who try to do it on their own will give up. “We help them or point them in the right direction,” he submitted. “We advocate for the veterans.” The VA counselor is available to meet with veterans at the L.K. Painter Community Center office on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments

are preferred and may be made by calling 532-0674. Walkins will be accommodated if the counselor’s appointment schedule permits. The L.K. Painter Community Center is located at 2355 Main Street (Route 39) at the corner of School Street in Collins. The new, handicappedaccessible location for the VA office can be accessed through the back entrance of the old school building, off the parking lot at the corner of School Street and Maple Avenue. From there, signs point the way to the office.

Coffee is thanks to blood donors The American Red Cross and Dunkin’ Donuts are launching a new campaign this January to help increase donations and reward donors during National Volunteer Blood Donor Month. Through the new “Dunkin’ Donors Make a Difference” campaign, all who give blood or platelets this month at Red Cross blood drives in New York will receive a $5 Dunkin Donor Card. “The ‘Dunkin Donors Make a Difference’ campaign and DD Card will give blood donors more options when visiting our restaurants and appeals to the preferences of a wide variety of blood donors,” said Tamara Tenenbaum, Field Marketing Manager for Dunkin’ Donuts. “The DD Card can be used toward the purchase of any item at participating Dunkin’ Donuts. We’re proud to partner with the Red Cross to thank blood donors this January and help ensure a sufficient blood supply.” In addition, the DD Card features a Red Cross logo, is reloadable and can also be enrolled in the DD Perks® Rewards program.

“The DD Card is a badge of honor for Red Cross blood and platelet donors both during the campaign and throughout the year,” said Kay E. Schwartz, CEO of the Red Cross New York-Penn Blood Services Region. “Donating blood or platelets helps to save lives, and with Dunkin’ Donuts support, we can help ensure donations keep pace with hospital patient needs while recognizing blood donors for the heroes they are.” The Red Cross and Dunkin’ Donuts partnership has achieved success over the past seven years by supporting the collection of approximately 562,000 blood and platelet donations during January, often a challenging month for donations due to weather and seasonal illnesses.

Thespians to stage Arsenic and Old Lace

Young begins fifth term On January 2, Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I- Olean) took her oath of office to begin her fifth full term serving a district containing Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Livingston Counties. “I am honored and humbled to have earned the trust of the people and again have the opportunity to represent them in the state Senate. I anticipate 2015 being a busy year, especially since there are so many high profile issues to tackle.” Young said. The Senator outlined some major objectives in her latest term which include: Securing state investment in the Route 291 project which Young said, “Will not only boost our local economy but also provide residents with safer, more reliable means of transportation. ” Young also pledged to work towards eliminating the Gap Elimination Adjustment which has reduced state aid to school districts as well as to ensure schools receive their fair share of education aid. The Senator would like to help provide greater assistance

Emergency energy help Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz announced that the County Department of Social Services’ 2014-2015 Home Energy Assistance Program (“HEAP”) emergency benefit component has begun. Emergency benefits are available to assist eligible households in resolving heating, heat-related electric and energy-related temporary housing emergencies. Qualifying Emergencies include: • The applicant’s natural gas or electric service for heat or heat-related electric service is terminated or scheduled for termination; or • The applicant has less than one-quarter tank of oil, kerosene or propane; or • The applicant has less than a ten-day supply of any other deliverable fuel source; or • The applicant is in need of a propane tank deposit to obtain a new propane tank and set up due to their supplier’s termination of their account. “HEAP is a federally-funded program to help eligible households in meeting their home energy needs,” said Poloncarz. “The emergency benefit component of this program is very important because it prevents the heat from being shut off on the homes of many low-income families and senior citizens on a fixed income.” To be eligible for emergency HEAP assistance, the applicant must be the customer of record, have gross household monthly income at or below the maximum income guidelines, not have available liquid resources greater than $2,000 (or $3,000 if the household contains an individual age 60 or older), and meet all other non-financial requirements. Emergency benefit amounts (listed by primary home heating source) are as follows: · Heating emergency benefits: Heat-related electric = $140 · Oil, kerosene, and propane = $575 · Wood, wood pellets, corn, coal or other = $500 · Natural gas heat only = $350 · Natural gas heat with domestic electric = $490 · Electric heat = $490 · Propane tank deposit = up to $500 per program year If service is currently off, a member of the household or authorized representative must apply in person at the Erie County HEAP office, located at 478 Main St., Buffalo.

He was also intrigued by the true story of Amy Archer-Gilligan of Windsor, Connecticut who was found guilty of taking in boarders and promising “life time care” to them if they would make her the recipient of their pensions after their death. She then poisoned her victims. Wishing to create a dramatized version of the story, Kesselring wrote it that way and submitted it to the famous producing team of Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse through a mutual friend, the well-known actress Dorothy Stickney. However Lindsay and Crouse, who agreed to produce his play, insisted that Kesselring rewrite it as a comedy. Kesselring agreed and wrote what he at first called “Bodies in Our Cellars.” The two Broadway producers later changed the title to “Arsenic and Old Lace” and a hit was born. Tickets for the Gowanda Thespian Society production are $5 for adults and $3 for students and senior citizens over 65 and may be purchased at the door on the night of each show.

USACanada rivalry highlights women’s tourney By Mike Haim COLUMNIST

• The Gowanda Learn to Ski program was canceled on Jan. 4 due to heavy rains and high winds at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville. The program will begin this Sunday, Jan. 11, and run through Sunday, March 1. The bus will leave from the front circle of the high school at 1:15 p.m. and return at 8:30 p.m.

For years, one of the most civilized cross-border relationships has been the one involving the United States and Canada. Sure, there are those times when the Boorish Chapter of Toronto Maple Leafs fans co-opts the city of Buffalo, and then there are those “shopping weekends” which inevitably lead staff at local restaurants to lament the tipping habits of our northern neighbors. To be fair, though, Canadians haven’t cornered the market on unsociable behavior; I’ve seen equally questionable actions by ornery Buffalonians who trek to Toronto for Blue Jays-Yankees games. Outside of those extreme examples, however, the US-Canada dynamic is generally cordial, tolerant, and fair-minded. That is, until the countries face each other on a frozen sheet of ice. Then the air of superiority wafts in both directions. That is being proven again this week as Harborcenter hosts the eighth annual Under-18 Women’s World Championship. When it comes to women’s internati0nal hockey, the only two countries with any sort of pedigree are the ones which flank the Niagara River. The European squads are steadily getting better, but it would be a major shock to see anyone but the USA and Canada in next Monday’s gold medal game. Thankfully this year, there was no need to wait for a USA-Canada game, as the two countries kicked off the event Monday night in their first-ever meeting in the preliminary round of the tournament. The programs are no strangers to each other in the U18 event: they’ve been the only representatives in the previous seven Gold Medal games (Canada has won four of seven, including the last three). The 2-1 shootout win by the United States before a sellout crowd was an electrifying contest. The USA used an early goal and clinged to a 1-0 lead until Canada got the equalizer midway through the third period from Sarah Potomak, the leading scorer in last year’s tournament in Budapest. The Americans got their first shootout goal from Jincy Dunne, who was named best defender in the 2014 tourney, then clinched the game when Abby Roque roofed her shot past Canadian netminder Marlene Boissonnault.

McKeever, Poff post spotless records, guide Panther grapplers at Dunkirk By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The Gowanda High School varsity wrestling team had a strong showing at the Dunkirk Duals that were held on Dec. 29 and 30.

As a team, the Panthers posted a 6-4 record.Gowanda was victorious over Kenmore West, Lackawanna, Salamanca, Frewsburg, Dunkirk and Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Pine Valley. As for the individual accomplishments, Gowanda wrestlers Lucas McKeever and David Poff both went undefeated.Each grappler had ten wins over the two-day tournament. “Lucas McKeever broke the school record for most wins in a career,” Panther coach Mark

Leous said. “He set a new record that was previously held by Joe Stearns.” “There are still several dual meets and tournaments left this season for Lucas to extend his school record,” Leous added. Other outstanding performances for Gowanda were turned in by Devin Richter and Josh Balzer, who each posted 8-2 records. Richter comes from a long line of brothers that have performed well during the Leous regime. “I was amazed with the

It was another overall solid effort for a team that is off to a positive start. However, the goal is to peak in early February. The solid showing at the Dunkirk Duals came on the heels of the STOWAWrestling

The annual event was held in the southern tier on Dec. 16 and 17 and included schools from New York and Pennsylvania. “We had four wrestlers place in an extremely tough tournament,” Leous said at the end of that two-day competition. “McKeever won the 160-pound weight class and was the first Gowanda wrestler to win the title in back-to-back years.”

Black Knights best Senior helped Lady Eagle spikers to sectional title last fall Bennett in boys basketball action “Bley” from page B1

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

Although only four players reached the scoring column, the Silver Creek boys varsity basketball team defeated Bennett High School from Buffalo, 57-48. The non-league contest was played at Silver Creek on Jan. 5. “We came out and took a 15-6 after one quarter and played well,” said Silver Creek head coach Rob Genco following his team’s fifth win this season. The Black Knights have lost just one game. “Our offense was clicking and we pushed the lead to 33-15 before they made an 11-0 run late in the second quarter.” While the Black Knights were playing well offensively, they had trouble stopping a suddenly hot three-point shooter from Bennett by the name of Andrew White. His long-range shooting brought the visiting Tigers back within eights points at the half. “Andrew White was lighting it up just before the half and hit three consecutive shots from behind the arc,” Genco said.

“He was keeping them in the game.” When the third frame began, Silver Creek made another run and increased its lead by 15 midway through the quarter. But a determined Bennett team fought back again and closed the gap to nine by the time the fourth started. “After a great start, we were now playing an up and down game,” Genco said. “We would look good one minute and then get sloppy at both ends of the court the next.” Both teams traded baskets over the final eight minutes and Silver Creek hung onto its nine-point lead for the win. The loss evened Bennett’s overall season record to 3-3. For Silver Creek, Trevon Thompson was the game’s high scorer with 23 tallies. Teammate Bill Brooks was right behind with 22 points. Chance and Connor Gates combined to score 12 points to round out the scoring for the Black Knights. The Black Knights had their CCAA Division I East game on Jan. 6 against CattaraugusLittle Valley postponed due to inclement weather. The team was scheduled to take on Allegany-Limestone on Jan. 9. Both teams will be fighting for the top spot in the league standings. Portville and Salamanca High Schools are also in the mix for the conference lead.

She came back her junior year after realizing how short her athletic career in high school is. “I actually talked myself in to it because everyone was saying how school goes by so fast,” she said. With the emergence of Lewis, who helped turn the girls varsity program at Cleveland Hill around before coming to North Collins, Bley and the Eagles have seen a huge turnaround with their program, too. “Coach Lewis was new last year and things were different,” said Bley. “Things were hard at first. We didn’t do that well. This year is much better because we’re used to Coach Lewis. We actually know what’s going on and we’re winning games now.” Bley has been one of the more consistent players since Lewis’ arrival and is a huge reason why North Collins has a shot at its best season in recent memory. As a team, Bley, along with fellow seniors Sam Gier, Aurora Klawinski, Carly Richardson and Jenna Keppel, have become accustomed to the varsity level and have noticed that their sense of the game has grown leaps and bounds. “Last year we didn’t know what to do if a play was broken. Now we know how to get out of those situations,” said Bley. “And this year we’re taking more shots. And with me being the big person un-

der the basket, last year they didn’t get me the ball much, but this year we’re passing the ball more and understanding how everything works.” Bley is reaping the benefits of the Eagles’ improved basketball skills. She is averaging a double-double every night, tallying over 12 points and 10 rebounds a game. The three-sport athlete is just halfway through her final year at North Collins. She will conclude her high school career when she steps into her cleats for softball in the spring. This past fall was the conclusion of her final volleyball season, which she made the most of by helping the Eagles win the program’s first sectional championship since 1987. Panama won the first two games and Bley admitted to thinking it was all over midway through the third set. “With volleyball getting the blue patch, I wanted that really bad. We all worked our butts off for it,” she said. “I definitely take it seriously because I know this is my last year and I can’t come back to this. “It was actually really stressful. During the third game I actually started crying because I thought we were going to lose. I was thinking this was it. And all of a sudden we came back like that and next thing I know we’re going into the fourth game and we [beat them in

Now the Eagles are having a lot more fun and becoming more competitive every time they lace up their basketball sneakers. “I find all the games really fun actually. It’s not as bad as I thought I would be,” said Bley.

“I’m having a lot more fun for winning this year. It’s fun being with the team. Especially because this is my last year. “Even with volleyball when I walked in and I’m like, ‘This is my senior year. I have to make the most of it.’ I have to work my butt of to get where I want to be. I definitely take it more seriously being a senior because I want to do good.”

The history of former GCS cross country coach Vince Karnath By Mark Benton

I don’t like being cold when I’m enjoying the great outdoors, so that’s why I always carry those inexpensive hand or foot warmers. If you don’t use them you should and if you do, did you ever wonder how they work? They contain cellulose, iron, water, activated carbon, vermiculite (a natural mineral that expands with the application of heat) and salt, producing heat from the exothermic oxidation of iron when exposed to air. I personally don’t care how it works, just that it does. When the product is sealed in an airtight pouch,

nonsense instructor that possessed good organizational skills. He also had a sense of humor. One fall, a cross country runner asked him for his advice as to how he could improve his time. “Run faster,” Karnath deadpanned. He coached the crosscountry team for 10 consecutive seasons before giving it up for two years to Larry Molinari. Karnath returned in the fall of 1968 and guided the Panthers for another three seasons. In the fall of 1971, he again resigned from coaching cross country and joined Ernie Bareham’s varsity football staff for one season. The schools’ varsity basketball coach, Glenn Schultz, then coached the long distance

runners for the next two seasons When Schultz resigned from his teaching (chemistry) and coaching positions (basketball and cross country) at the end of the 1973 school year, Karnath returned to mentor the cross country team in the fall of 1973. He stayed on for another 11 seasons. Girls were also now allowed to participate in high school sports so Karnath was actually a co-ed coach. However, when one of his female athletes qualified to run in the New York State Cross-Country Championships, the school board balked at paying Karnath’s expenses to attend the meet. Karnath again resigned following the dispute and never coached the sport again. Gowanda did

not field a cross country team in 1985. Karnath also took the reins of the school’s boys track & field program from 1963 through 1977. The Panthers had several outstanding athletes during the Karnath era. Many of the school records that were set during the Karnath tenure still stand t o d a y. H i s 1 9 7 2 t e a m finished the season with a record of 7-2, which included a 30-point win over Eden, the defending division champion. Karnath retired from his physical education teaching position in 1988. He passed away in the spring of 1995 and was honored posthumously at the second annual Gowanda Area All Sports Award Banquet the following September.

Forestville basketball, bowling have been competitive

The Forestville girls bowling team is off to a 10-6 start to the season. By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

Under the direction of coach Jean Flagler, the boys and girls varsity bowling teams at Forestville Central School are doing well as the 2014-15 season progresses. At the Christmas break, the boys team had a record of 10-10. The girls squad has a record of 10-6. “The boys had a tough match against Brocton on Dec. 22 and lost three out of four games,” Flagler said. “ We are a very young team but we have some very good bowlers.” For the Hornets, Brad Dillenburg rolled a 636 series. His high game was a very respectable 241. Phil Narraway followed Dillenburg with a three-game set of 580.

For the girls, they split a match with Frewsburg on Dec. 19. The total pins count was Forestville 1,720 and Frewsburg 1,760. “Our leading bowler for the girls team was Shawntai LeBarron with a three-game series of 488,” noted Flagler. “Her high game was a 167. “Emily Narraway was our second best bowler and rolled a 465 set.” Forestville also took part in the Festival of Lights high school bowling tournament. This was a mixed team event that was held on Dec. 30. The school’s varsity boys basketball team played the Sherman Wildcats at the Erie Bayhawks Arena in Erie, Pennsylvania on Dec. 21 and lost, 64-41. With the setback, the Hornets’ overall record fell to 2-4 with league games yet to

begin. Logan Youngberg and Caleb Makuch both reached double figures in the scoring column. Youngberg netted 12 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Makuch meshed 10 points and also snagged 12 rebounds. “I felt we competed with Sherman,” coach Ralph Jackson said after the loss. “We had one bad quarter when we were outscored 18-7 in the second.” “It was a great experience for our kids to play in the Bayhawks’ arena,” Jackson said. “Our team had a blast playing and then staying to watch the semi-pro game that followed.” Forestville returned to action earlier this week with a league win over Pine Valley, 48-44. The team was scheduled to take on West Valley on Jan. 9 and Sherman on Jan. 10.

Tickets sales indicative of USA-Canada popularity “Hockey” from page B1 Any credit for the drama and intensity seen Monday night has to go the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), which oversees the sport’s global competitions. The IIHF rejiggered the tournament’s groupings and placed the top four finishers from last year in one group, enabling

the early battle between the perennial powerhouses. The lofty status of the USA and Canada in the women’s hockey world was perhaps best proven by the modest number of tickets sold for the other three games played Monday. Sweden-Japan drew 186 spectators, the

Russia-Czech Republic game attracted a crowd of 341, and the FinlandSwitzerland game a mere 227. On a smaller scale, it really isn’t much different than what we saw here four years ago when Buffalo hosted the men’s World Junior tournament. Back

then, if a game didn’t feature the USA or Canada, it wasn’t really much of a draw. And those games involved future NHL talent. In reality, this tournament is the perfect event at the perfect time. Harborcenter is ideally suited for this competition. The main rink holds a maximum of

1,800 spectators and I’d be shocked if most of the US and Canadian players ever skated before a larger crowd. The last two gold medal games attracted 813 (in Finland in 2013) and 940 last year. In addition, many fans attending this week are being set up to become

return customers: next year’s tournament is hosted by nearby St. Catharines, Ontario. There’s really no better way this week to embrace that cross-border warmth. Even when the flags come out. www.twitter.com/mikehaim

Corrections Officers donate to hospital

New York State Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association (NYSCOPBA) members from Gowanda Correctional Facility paid an early visit to patients at Women & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo on December 11. Three correctional officers from the facility were accompanied by hospital staff as they distributed two gurney loads of toys and gifts to kids whose illnesses have caused them to be hospitalized during this holiday season. The toys and gift cards were purchased through a generous

donation from the membership of over $1500. The officers personally went on shopping sprees to purchase the gifts so that the hospitalized children could enjoy an early Christmas. After the gifts were distributed to the patients, the officers made a check presentation to the hospital staff of $1200 that will be used for the Child Life Program at the hospital. The money will help provide services and activities to the kids and their families in the coming year. “I am very proud of our members for all they do throughout

the year in support of local charities in the western region. Officers volunteer their time on countless occasions and raise and donate money to a number of worthwhile causes. At this time of year it is especially important for all of us to remember those less fortunate and support them in any way we can. I commend the officers who spearheaded this effort to bring some joy into the lives of children that can’t be home for the holidays”, stated Western Region Vice President Mike Dildine.
