DODGED THE BULLET — This look up and down West Main Street in Gowanda Friday, Nov. 21 shows how the village lucked out during the severe and deadly storm that hit Western New York this week. There were some heavy bursts of snow at times, but they could be measured in inches, not feet. The entire area now is bracing for warmer weather this weekend, which may result in flooding, especially where the snow was heaviest.
Winter parking ban now in effect By Mary Pankow NEWS EDITOR
The Village of Gowanda may have "dodged the bullet" so to speak, regarding the recent "Snowvember" event that has inundated the north and east, but the village board is reminding residents that the Winter Parking Ban is now in effect, and will continue until April 1. The Ban restricts parking on village streets in the Business District from 4 to 7 a.m., and on residential streets from midnight to 7 a.m. Only one resident ventured out Tuesday evening, Nov. 18, to attend the village board meeting to comment during the Public Participation portion of the agenda. David Latona, who resides on Chestnut Street, expressed his concern over leaf pick up. He noted that his street was overlooked during the leaf removal in the fall. Latona's complaint was taken under consideration by the board. Mayor Heather McKeever noted that the snow arrived before all the streets needing leaf pick up could be covered. Also, she said that new Public Works Superintendent Jason Opferbeck would be starting in the village full time the following week and would be reviewing the highway log and scheduling.
Gowanda Fire Chief Mark Hebner, also in attendance at the board's work session, stated during the open meeting that the Turkey Trot planned for Thanksgiving morning in the village was cancelled. Hebner noted that the proposed route was not feasible and the fire department was notified too late to coordinate traffic control. In other matters, the board: • Accepted, with regret, the resignation of Police Officer Robert Kibler. • Was presented with the Police Report for October, which included the following: 242 calls for the month (three motor vehicle accidents, 13 arrests, 10 traffic summonses issued); Halloween night was quiet, with no calls or incidents logged; evidence software has been purchased and an internal audit of the evidence inventory is under way, including electronically logging and documenting all the property in the evidence rooms; all officers have been sized and fitted for the new bullet-proof vests. • Acknowledged $100 and $25 in court fines from the Town of Persia. • Appointed Karen Speers for the basketball/roller-skating programs at $8 per hour, Taylor Kickbush in December as needed for Winter Recreation at $8.50
per hour, Meghan Lulas for December and January as needed for Winter Recreation at $8.50, and Jack Gaylord for basketball at $8.50 per hour. • Held a public hearing on Veterans' and Senior tax exemptions. Although no residents attended the hearing, the board decided to table any action on the exemptions, pending attorney review and further discussion. • Reminded everyone to assist in keeping the fire hydrants clear from snow. • Learned that the fire department will be holding a spaghetti dinner on Jan. 21 at American Legion Post 409. • Heard an update on FEMA from Disaster Coordinator Nick Crassi, who reported that the State had approved the 25 percent disaster coverage; FEMA will pay the remaining 75 percent. The board also learned that the Reservoir Project will be a twophase restoration initiative. Phase 1 will bring the reservoir back to its pre-flood condition, take four to five weeks to complete and cost approximately $23,580. The scope of work needed for the project was determined by Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI), an engineering firm. The board proceeded to approve engaging the services of GPI. Crassi then asked the board to sign the agreement with Sim-
mons Recovery, not to exceed $65,000. Simmons had incurred expenses totaling $54,917.75 and was asking for $10,000 now to complete the Reservoir Project Worksheet (PW). To date, four of the PWs have been turned in and the Reservoir PW is up to date except for the engineering firm portion, which the board just approved. • Accepted the Thatcher Brook Watershed Agreement, a preventative plan for flood mitigation, drafted by the Thatcher Brook Task Force. • Approved replacing the sewer department's skid steer. A Bobcat, under State bid, with trade-in, will cost $30,763.24, which has been budgeted. • Approved the purchase of a back-up camera for the new highway truck at a cost of $709.85. • Approved the relevy of Erie County unpaid taxes ($23,058.86). • Approve the relevy of Cattaraugus County unpaid taxes ($50,373.09). • Was informed that 15 trees were recently planted by the Tree Committee volunteers. • Agreed to closing the Village Office on Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving. The next Village of Gowanda Board meeting will be held Dec. 18 at 7 p.m., to be preceded by a work session at 6 p.m.
A bit of fine tuning in Collins By Richard Westlund NEWS CORRESPONDENT
At the Nov. 17 meeting of the Collins Town Board, considerable time was spent during the workshop part of the meeting in a general discussion concerning developing a more efficient system of communication between those issuing Building Permits and the Appraiser regarding information that is or isn’t needed, for a smooth efficient operation in the town departments and proper
enforcement of its policies. Town Supervisor David Tessmer felt progress was made but looks forward to more discussion. In other matters the board: • Set a public hearing for Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Collins Town Hall for consideration of passing a local law that will 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 Supervisor's
report for the month of October. • Approved a fund transfer of $121.25 from Seniors travel to Senior citizens (LKP+) • Amended the snow removal contract with Erie County to include 6.7 miles of county roads consisting of Quaker Street from Lenox Road to Bagdad Road, and Bagdad Road from Route 62 to Route 39. • Approved the hiring of Samantha D’Amaro as Recreation Director (part time) at a rate of $15 per hour, and Tamara Fab-
biano as Recreation Attendant (part time) at $12 per hour. • Agreed to place ads for the positions of Recreation Attendants in the Gowanda News and the Springville Journal, and require that applications be received in the Town Clerk's Office no later than 4 p.m. on Fri. Dec. 5. • Agreed to purchase a 2016 Mack Granite GU 713 from Beam Mack Sales and Service at a cost of $122,684.31 for a complete

Budget hearing adjourned By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER
�I've had a parent ill and a lot of stuff going on, it just got away from me,� said North Collins Supervisor Rosaline Seege, explaining why there were no printed copies of the town's preliminary budget available at the board's Nov. 12 meeting. The date had been advertised as the time for a public hearing on the new budget. Seege's tentative budget had been shaped into a preliminary budget at an Oct. 30 work session by the board, which made numerous changes to the supervisor's recommendations. Several residents had come to speak on the budget but chose to wait till a new, printed version was available. Seege said she would email board members the numbers by the following Thursday and have copies at the clerk's office by Friday. The board approved adjourning the hearing until 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 15. The board officially ratified a five-year agreement with the Town of Evans to provide emergency dispatch service. According to Town Attorney Richard Schaus, North Collins will have an immediate savings of $40,000 through the arrangement. “The contract calls for $22,333 for the first year and contains a 5 percent annual escalation clause,� reported Schaus. He thought the percentage was high but in light of the savings realized, believed it would be fine for the next five years. Schaus also commended Town Councilmen Karen Ricotta and Michael Perry, along with Village Trustee Brenda Bauer-Petrus, for their work in shaping the agreement. Schaus also reported that the lawsuit filed against the town over work performed to restore Rocky Mountain Road had been to court. “We are awaiting the judge's decision. We expect it in four to six weeks,� said the attorney. Queried from the audience, the town clerk reported that town expenses on the litigation for the past year so far are $22,000. Several residents from the Marshfield and Quaker roads area reported the most recent very serious accident at the intersection. Ann Converso said, “I know that the stop signs have been made larger and there are signs installed warning of the stop ahead, we don't know what
a resolution would be.� Noting that both are county roads, the board approved sending a request to the county for a study. Residents were also encouraged to contact Legislator John Mills so he could see the problem first hand. Concerning the problems with the privately owned Lawtons Water Company, Orrange reported that two more people are needed to complete a brief survey. She reported that based on early data, a sufficient percentage of the population is at lower income levels that would allow receipt of $100,000 in Block Grant funding. She also said she had received information from state Senator Patrick Gallivan that he had identified at least one funding source that may be able to provide up to $200,000 for the project. Attorney Schaus relayed that he is still waiting for an engineer's preliminary report on the situation as well as possible solutions and costs. He said it would be premature to meet with residents in the area until that report is received. In other business the board: • Approved granting a threehour minimum for highway employees who are called in to work. The measure mirrors State law. Heard both Councilman Perry and John Tobia, praise the recent initiative to create a community advisory panel. That group met recently and is comprised of representatives from the town, the village and the school district. • Approved the hiring of Elizabeth Novoa, Bailey Murray, Brittany Ketterer and Sharon Woronowski at the after-school program due to scheduling conflicts with current hire. • Heard Library Board Chair Sue Alessi encourage early registration for the popular graham cracker house project on Dec. 7. Alessi reported that Santa will also visit the library that day. • Heard Town Historian Georgianne Bowman report the recent open house was a success with a waiting list. It has led to talk of doing a similar presentation in the future. • Heard Schaus report that a water test of a well near the Ketchum Road landfill was found to be negative of any toxins. The board will meet on Nov. 15 at 9 a.m. to continue its public hearing on the budget. It will meet again in regular session on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. in town hall.

Budget approved in Persia By Phil Palen
NEWS CORRESPONDENT
The Persia Town Board approved the 2015 town budget on Nov. 13. Previously, the board voted to exceed the tax cap proposed by New York State. The total town budget will be $531,212, with $316,862 to be raised by real property taxes. In her budget message, Town Supervisor Paula Schueler said, “In the past we used funds from our fund balance to keep the taxes down. We’ve done it for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been on the board for at least 13 years. This year we just couldn’t do it.” Schueler cited decreased revenue and the town’s assumption of the duties of dog control and assessing from the Village of Gowanda. The 2015 tax rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation will be $4.01 for town residents within the village, up $1.10; and $7.48 for town residents outside the village, up 58 cents. Several town officials attended a Thatcher Brook Task Force meeting at the village hall on Nov. 3. Representatives from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Buffalo District, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and other elected officials discussed the flood risk management and feasibility study. The Corps
The Collins 50-Plus Seniors will be joining The Salvation Army and Love INC this holiday season at Shop 'N Save in Gowanda for the Red Kettle Bell-Ringing campaign.

said ground breaking for any approved project could be four or five years away. Schueler said there should be a meeting of local municipal officials to formulate an interim local action plan in the meantime. Such measures as debris removal from the creek channel could be done with DEC permission. A meeting is tentatively planned for January. Councilman John T. Walgus reported on a recent meeting of the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation at Gateway Park on Palmer Street with representatives from the DEC and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They discussed the five-year review for the Superfund status of the park, formerly the Peter Cooper glue factory property. Walgus said they toured the entire property and viewed the progress being made on the site. “They were very pleased with the evolution and the momentum that had been made at the park in the past year,” he said. The agency representatives then discussed de-listing from Superfund status almost all of the property except for the landfill on the west end. This would allow GARC to continue to develop the remaining 20 acres without future contractors’ fear of violating state and federal environmental regulations. He said when GARC went out to bid for fencing work along the creek bank there were 41 contrac-
tors who picked up plans, yet only one bid was received because of the fear of uncovering possible environmental contamination on the eastern end. Walgus said the bid came back way over budget, so GARC rejected it. “By de-listing that end of Superfund status, it takes a lot of fear away from the contractors of disturbing something that’s potentially there that isn’t,” Walgus said. The GARC board met Nov. 11 to award a contract for engineering services for the next round of grant work and to go out to bid for the county casino-funded work. The board voted to reimburse the town for its share of filling and grading work at Gateway Park. In other business, the board: • Approved payment from the following accounts: Highway Fund, $11,921.21 and General Fund, $35,822.72. • Heard Town Clerk Denise Trumpore report 110 transactions in October. She collected $2,864 in fees. The town’s share was $556.74. • Reappointed Joseph Herman to a five-year term on the town board of assessment review. He will need to attend a training session. • Signed the fire protection contract with Gowanda. There will be a 1 percent increase each year for the next three years. • Approved the transfer of $150 from the contingent fund to the

Weather calamities
By now, you may have noticed that this week’s issue of the Gowanda News isn’t quite what you’ve become accustomed to over the months. Because of the horrendous weather that has inundated the region with snow, it has seriously hampered our publication schedule. Our main office in Cheektowaga, where our art room and production departments are located, is in an area where a travel ban was issued. This prevented most of Community Papers of Western New York employees from being able to go about their daily duties. As a result, we are doing our best to provide our readers with as much information as we can on a very limited production schedule. Barring any further weather calamaties, the Gowanda News should be back to normal next week. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Donations stay in Gowanda area
Editor: United Way of Gowanda recently opened its 2014-15 fund-raising campaign, sending out bright yellow flyers to all residents of Gowanda and the surrounding area. Our goal is to increase funding over last year, and it must be stressed that all monies collected stay right here in the Gowanda area to be distributed to the groups named in the flyer. Checks can be sent to benefit all of the groups or can be designated for a favorite charity of the giver. United Way of Gowanda urges all area residents to donate as generously as possible to local groups who depend on contributions
from United Way of Gowanda. All donors who contribute by Dec. 5 are eligible for a drawing on that date, which will result in the award of one of a number of different gift certificates to be used at local businesses. If your flyer is missing, you can send a check made out to United Way of Gowanda to P.O. Box 324, Gowanda, NY 14070 – 0324. The results of the drawing will be announced under the theater marquee just after the Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 5. United Way of Gowanda thanks the area businesses who generously contributed the gift certificates. United Way of Gowanda

Action from politicians needed
Editor: A Gowanda commentator wrote in 2007 about elected officials who would go along with measures closing Southern Tier rural emergency rooms, calling them: "treasonous to the citizens whose interests they should hold dear." In 2009, the worst happened with the flood that destroyed Gowanda's over 60-yearold hospital and its emergency room service. Then, a global medical conglomerate put business interests above good emergency medicine, deciding that our hospital not be rebuilt. We were cheated out of the FEMA funds earmarked for its restoration here. Much of the money was legally (or perhaps illegally, I wonder?), diverted to cover the debts of a series of medical corporate shells elsewhere. Since then, over 21,000 people in the Gowanda area: located in the heart of the snowbelt, home to a central school district, a large nursing home, many disabled adult group homes, two state prisons (where some workers earn hazardous duty pay), situated next to a dangerous wilderness destination, including a large senior citizen demographic, have been without an emergency room. We need one now more than ever. Without consulting us, all the powers that be saw fit to leave us with a part-time "urgent care" center, which, even now, most people here believe will attend to their lifethreatening medical emergencies . They never read the fine print. So where is the Gowanda area emergency department? Miles away in either Irving or Springville, when minutes and seconds may mean the difference between life or death. We've been bamboozled by the term "urgent care" and that big sign
in front of the building saying "Ambulance Entrance." As much as the good people there, who do well for us in minor matters, would like to help you, the sad truth is that they are not licensed to receive ambulance cases nor staffed to deal with lifethreatening emergencies: you will be helped to call 911 and turned away. This waste of precious minutes in life-or-death situations is the rude awakening being experienced here, one desperate family at a time. Emergency medicine in Gowanda is now a cruel joke, in my opinion. So what alternatives do we have? While calling 911, you could perhaps go to the ambulance barn, praying that the excellent but overworked EMTs and ambulance crews are not out on another call, as they frequently are, to our nursing and group homes, or waiting to be cleared to return to the area from transporting patients to distant emergency rooms. If no one is there, you could rush your stricken loved one to Irving or Springville. Keep in mind, there is a reason why the length of Route 438 between Gowanda and Irving is posted 45 mph and dotted with signs "Speed Kills," "Respect Your Elders," "Protect Our Children," "Respect Our Community." Yet, I know that frantic Gowanda families have been chased by the police into the Lake Shore and Springville hospitals' parking lots. In ordinary times, legislative grants for parks and the Hollywood Theater may be fine, and I have a "repeal the safe act" sign on my lawn, but are these the life and death matters people here should be asking lawmakers to focus on? Seriously, what would better prompt a family to decide to move to Gowanda, a fully equipped 24/7 local emer-
gency room or the Hollywood Theater? Lets face it: the biggest threat to enjoying Second Amendment rights in the Gowanda area is when a firearms owner has a medical emergency and help comes too late. Now that all in Gowanda who read this knows that their very lives are at stake, every chance we get, we need to speak up and let our elected officials know that upgrading the staffing at our urgent care center to restore emergency room-level services to locally treat and stabilize patients experiencing life-threatening emergencies is our community's top priority. In retrospect, it seems that our state and federal elected representatives from Cattaraugus County who so proudly appeared at the 2012 groundbreaking for Gowanda's new hospital were all stunned into silence, a silence that has lasted to this day, by the slap down they received last year from an out-of-state corporate medical syndicate not to rebuild it. I think our leaders dropped the ball. It took the bankruptcy filing of Lakeshore for them to finally get the big picture, organize a rally and mobilize into actions that saved a hospital and emergency services in Irving. But what about saving Gowanda? When is our rally? Are we not worth the fight? Are the lives of over 21,000 Gowanda-area residents worth less than people in Irving, Orchard Park (that has never had a hospital), or rural Cuba, N.Y, yet they all have emergency rooms in their communities? Looking forward: Will our Southern Tier lawmakers again buy the same argument when the day comes, when these distant corporate forces propose that the emergency rooms in
Jamestown or Erie can handle all the life-threatening emergency cases from the Dunkirk-Fredonia area so Brooks Hospital, along with its workers, can be downsized into a more economical part-time urgent care center? The state and federal bipartisan hard work of Young, Reed and Schumer in saving Lakeshore demonstrates that you can unite against these poisonous business arrangements that are systematically destroying access to emergency medicine in our rural communities. There are funding programs and concepts in place designed to help rural emergency medicine. All that is needed is a united political will to act. Before they take or renew their oaths of office, I would call upon our Erie County state and federal lawmakers DePietro, newly elected Panepinto, Gallivan, Collins and Gillibrant, unite, along with our state and federal representatives from Cattaraugus County, all of you charged with representing a fraction of the Gowanda area, to each make public your plan of action to restore Gowanda-based emergency room services. Continued silence from our public officials on this matter is not golden. It just makes the people in the Gowanda area, who have waited long enough, angrier. We wonder: Have the candidates we just voted in office forgotten, abandoned, or betrayed us? Are they content to throw our community under the bus, and as far as they are concerned, our loved ones who live, work and recreate in the Gowanda area are not worth saving and can, quite literally, drop dead? Elected leaders: it is your turn to speak up and tell us it just ain't so. William Cain Gowanda

Correctional Officers & Police Benevolent Association, Inc. A group of corrections officers on their way to training at Attica Correctional Facility on Oct. 30 rescued a female bus driver and a kindergartener who were trapped inside a bus after it went off the road into a ravine and flipped on its side. According to authorities, the accident took place on Route 39 in the town of Sardinia. The bus, which was only carrying one student, had pulled over to the side of the road to let vehicles pass. The bus’s rear tires appeared to
lose footing on the shoulder. The bus then began to skid down the embankment, causing it to flip over on its side and slide down into a small ravine. The officers were following the bus at the time of the accident. Two officers directed traffic while the other officers ran down into the ravine to help anyone trapped in the bus. The female driver of the bus was suspended by her seatbelt and could not free herself. The young boy was the only student
passenger on the bus. The back emergency door of the bus was opened to get the young boy out of the bus. The bus driver was also freed and helped out of the bus as well.

THANKSGIVING DAY STORM, 1956 – When Gowanda residents awoke on Thanksgiving morning in 1956, they found a record snowfall outside. This headline from the Gowanda News & Times dated Nov. 29 tells of the 32 inches that fell between Wednesday night and Friday morning. The storm stranded visitors, hunters and many other strangers in the village. About 100 cars were abandoned during the height of the storm. The Municipal Building and Legion Hall were used as shelters. An oil tanker jackknifed at the underpass on Sand Hill, blocking all traffic. Taylor Hollow Road was used as a detour until a snowplow and two cars went off the road, choking traffic from that direction. Later a Greyhound bus slid off the road between Collins and Gowanda, further snarling traffic. Many motorists spent the night in their cars. Locals came to the aid of stranded motorists. John Schwabenbauer, owner of the Main Diner, furnished a ham and coffee to those staying overnight at the Legion Hall. The last guests left the Legion about 12:30 Friday afternoon. This photo taken at the Ford dealership on South Water Street shows the depth of the snow on top of the gas pumps. Photos courtesy of the Gowanda Area Historical Society

Novel by Gowanda native
The prologue to Walter Tomaszewski’s novel, “TJ Retlaw,” begins with “a mendacious blend of blurred memories. Tomaszewski was born and raised in Gowanda, and is a member of GCS’s class of 1958. His brother, Joe, and sister, Gloria, live locally. Following graduation from Alfred, he entered the Navy as an aviation cadet, earning his wings and commission in 1962. The book, of course, is a work of fiction. Vignettes of protagonist TJ Retlaw’s early
life in Gowanda, naval duty, and commercial flying career with TWA are humorously portrayed. The novel is a fastpaced, thrilling journey into the lost world of aviation and heroes of yesteryear. Despite the comical implication of the cover and the ample illustrations contained within, graphic details and salty language make this read inappropriate for children or certain individuals. “TJ Retlaw” by Captain Frank Bohica, Tomaszewski’s pseudonym, is available in an E version or soft cover from Amazon.

This glass was made in Greentown, Indiana, by the Indiana Tumbler and Goblet Works, a division of the National Glass Company. The Holly Amber color was created in 1902 by Jacob Rosenthal.

them. Can you please describe what a match safe is? Thank you. My husband and I enjoy reading Antique Alley. F.C., Hamburg Match safes were first introduced in the early 1850s as a safety container to carry matches in. They often have a figural design with a hinged cover and a striking surface that matches can be lit on. I have several graniteware coffee pots that I’ve noticed that the inside of them are stained. I tried to use different cleaners and have soaked them as well. They are still stained. What would be the best way to clean these without damaging them? Some of these coffee pots are very old.

Antique Alley Not too long ago our family purchased a furnished cabin. There is a set of early 1900s dishes that are in excellent condition. On the dishes is painted a picture of a fish with a scenic lake in the background. The bottom says Limoges. There are 10 plates and a large serving plate. How much is this worth? Thank you. L.K., Forestville Several manufacturers in Limoges, France, produced porcelain game plates with a variety of designs in the early 1900s. In the described condition, your game plate set warrants an approximate value of $450. Game plates generally featured a scenic design with birds, deer, bear, and fish.

your great tips. P.N., Gowanda The inside of enameled tinware coffee pots can be very difficult to clean effectively and still keep the original patina intact. The easiest and most successful way to clean the insides is to fill the pot with water and peeled potatoes. Bring to a rolling boil. Boil for approximately 10 minutes. Let cool and rinse. Guaranteed to remove most stains every time. ***** Jeffrey Furash has over 35 years experience in the field of antiques and collectibles. His column has been published nationally for over 30 years.

The crew from the popular HGTV Network program House Hunters recently completed an episode in the Chautauqua Lake region. Real Estate Company Century 21 Turner Brokers worked with the production crew on the episode. Pie Town Productions, the company that produces House Hunters, sent a crew of three people to videotape the home buyers and their broker. Michelle Turner, with Century 21 Turner Brokers, worked with the production company for several months to find dynamic house hunters, with an interesting list of criteria for a house. She says she had to provide the production company with information about the home market in the Chautauqua region: the budget specifications of the house-hunting buyers, the competitiveness in the area, the challenges of buying a home in that area and details of the

different neighborhoods they were considering. But mostly the show wanted details about the Chautauqua Lake region. “This is the exciting part,” says Turner, “the exposure that this show will bring to Chautauqua County cannot be measured in dollars. House Hunters wanted to know as much as possible. What makes it a great place to live, what are people’s favorite activities, what draws people to our area. The three-person crew, consisting of a field producer, a

sound engineer and a videographer, along with Turner and the home buyers in tow, spent several non-stop days taping the show. The house-hunting couple was videotaped looking at several houses.

hours of footage was videotaped, which will result in the half-hour show that is viewed on the HGTV Network. The crew recently returned to videotape around the lake and county to highlight the region at its prettiest, so they can include it in the episode. Pie Town Productions contacted Turner Brokers about a year and a half ago, saying they were interested in producing a show around Chautauqua Lake. The producers wanted to find energetic, outgoing buyers who were in the market to buy a home in the area. The challenge for Turner Brokers was whether their clients would successfully navigate the rigorous casting process and obtain approval to be featured in an episode; it took several submissions before they were successful. The show will air on Thanksgiving evening at 10 p.m. on the HGTV Network.
Activity Day in Gowanda St. Joseph Church, 26 Erie Avenue, Gowanda, will be hosting a “St. Nicholas Activity Day” on Sunday, Dec. 7 in the church hall starting with the 9:30 Mass and running until noon. Catholics and non-Catholics are invited to participate in various holiday activities.
During the recent Section VI high school football championships at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Nov. 6 and 7, the game program highlighted several members of the inaugural Section VI Sports "Hall of Fame" class. One of the inductees included Gene Masters, the former high school football coach at Brocton and Grand Island Central Schools. Masters is at the top of the list for all-time victories as a Western New York gridiron coach with 248 wins. However, his alltime record against the Gowanda Panthers is 0 wins and 1 loss. In the fall of 1968, Masters brought his Grand Island Viking team to Hillis Field for an ECIC inter-division clash. The heavily favored visitors were looking to send the Panthers to their fourth consecutive loss to start the season. But a punt return for a score by Jon Scott and a touchdown pass thrown by Gary Peters led the Blue and White to a 13-0 upset victory. Gowanda went on to post an overall record of 4-4 that season with additional wins over Cheektowaga, Eden and Fredonia. The Gowanda High School Varsity and Junior Varsity football teams held their post-season banquet at the American Legion on Thursday, Nov. 13. Senior Lucas McKeever received the Most Valuable Player Award for the varsity. McKeever played fullback and linebacker for the Panthers. Kameron Alexander was voted the Most Valuable Player for the JV team. Alexander scored on many long runs from his tailback position to lead the JVs to a final record of 6-1. The high school winter sports program at GCS is about to begin. The varsity boys' basketball team will be coached by Andrew Bobseine, now in his third season.
The Panthers are coming off a 2013-14 campaign where they posted an overall record of 12 wins and 9 losses. The Panthers return third-year players Carter Benton, Lucas Brawdy and Jordan Young. The JVs welcome first-year coach Brett Ebling. He replaces Josh West. The JVs were undefeated last year with a record of 18 wins an 0 losses. The varsity and junior varsity basketball cheerleaders will be coached by former Buffalo Jill Charisse Sprague. The Gowanda area has been represented by IAABO basketball officials each year since the 1974-75 high school season. Several of those officials included: Dave Robbins, Tim Bobsein, Dave Lay, Glenn Lawton, Roy Hendrix, Jud Foy and Wayne Troutman. The GCS Varsity Boys' and Girls' Bowling teams will look to continue their winning ways. Both teams have either won or finished near the top of the final standings in each of the past three seasons. The boys are coached once again by Ryan Lipinski. Lois Piscitelli leads the girls' squad. All home matchers take place at K & L Lanes. With the early snowfall and cold weather, Holiday Valley in Ellicottville will be looking to open Thanksgiving weekend for the second year in a row. The Gowanda Recreation Ski Club will hold their final registration on Monday, Nov. 24 from 6 to 7:30 p.m in the village board room. Students must be in grades 5-12 in order to participate in this program. Through a generous grant provided by Chautauqua Opportunities, Gowanda Recreation was able to purchase a dozen pair of new ice skates. Ice skating at St. John Park will take place once the very cold weather settles in. The cost will remain $2 per night that includes skate rentals.
Gowanda Youth Panthers win OATKA title By Joe Sarro
SPORTS REPORTER
There is no doubt about it that Gowanda Little League Football coach George Kruzska is creating a dynasty with the Gowanda Panthers Little League Football program. After going undefeated and wining it all last season, Kruzska led his troops to an 8-3 record and another championship season again after topping the Cheektowaga Spartans 9-0 on Nov. 1. “After losing some games earlier in the season, the kids learned how to bounce back,” Kruszka said, “They really came together as a team and stepped up.” The Panthers were too much for the Spartans to handle. Earlier in the season, the Panthers handed the Spartans their first win after Cheektowaga started out of the gates at 5-0. Gowanda went on to beat the No. 2 seed in the championship game held at Hamburg High School. It was a 2-0 score all game after a safety by George Kruzska Jr. With five minutes
left in the fourth quarter, Jon Smuda ran into the end zone to make the game out of reach for the Spartans. “The kids were happy as could be,” Kruszka said. “Even the young kids that were on the second squad were as high as a kite as far as the winning part of it.” It was a dominant playoff for the Panthers’ defense, shutting out both of its oppositions in both games. The Panthers were the fourth seed and took down the top-seeded Lake Shore Eagles —13-0 in the semifinal game— a team they lost to twice in the regular season. “Defensively, these kids took over the league really,” Kruszka said. “Our offense did well, but defensively, our kids showed the initiative to want the game and came out and really held the offenses in place.” This marks back-to-back championship seasons for the Gowanda freshman squad. Kruszka said he plans on coaching at the junior varsity level next season to rejoin the squad that went undefeated in 2013.
