GOWANDA — The Gowanda Trap Team placed seventh out of 45 teams in Division 1a at the June 26 State Tournament for the New York high school clay target league with a total of 446 targets. Other Western New York teams in the Top 15 were Lancaster (9th, 439) and Albion (14th, 428). The Gowanda team also ranked 10th out of all 92 teams in the state that shot at the state tournament. Individual tournament rankings for Gowanda included Daniel Stang (11th), T.J. Ackley Jr. (26th), D.J. Dirienzo (31st) and Tyler Smith (55th). Three members of the team made the 2022 Trap All-State Team, which includes those ranked in the top 100 shooters in the state out of over 2,000 shooting this season. Gowanda’s All-State shooters were Timothy Ackley Jr. (25th), David Dirienzo (75th) and Tyler Smith (92nd). Each will get a special All-State Team Patch to commemorate the achievement.
N.Y.:
- The Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Development (CCDPD) facilitates the agricultural district program in Chautauqua County. An agricultural district is a geographic area which consists predominantly of viable agricultural land. Agricultural operations within the district are afforded benefits and protections to promote the continuation of farms and the preservation of agricultural land. The first agricultural district was formed in Chautauqua County in 1972 with the last district forming in 1995, for a total of thirteen districts. These districts were created when one or more landowners with at least 250 acres of land submitted a proposal according to New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Law (AML) to the County Legislature to form the district. Over time, the AML was revised to include an 8-year review of the agricultural districts to evaluate the district and landowners could request to have their land added or removed from the district. With 13 districts and a review required every 8 years for each individual district, the program was difficult to manage and hard for landowners to understand. In 2010, the CCDPD started consolidating agricultural districts to streamline the program. This made it easier for the County to implement the program as well as easier for landowners to understand. In 2022, the
Gowanda Sports Report
CCDPD finalized the last set of district consolidations. The State approved the final Chautauqua County consolidated agricultural districts in May of 2022. The consolidated districts and next 8-year review are as follows: · District 7 (2023): Towns of Clymer, French Creek, Har-
mony, North Harmony, Mina and Sherman. · District 8 (2025): Towns of Busti, Carroll, Chautauqua, Ellery, Ellicott, Kiantone, Poland and Stockton; and City of Jamestown. · District 10 (2027): Towns of Arkwright, Charlotte, Cherry Creek, Ellington, Gerry and Villenova. · District 1 (2029): Towns
of Dunkirk, Hanover, Pomfret, Portland, Ripley, Sheridan and Westfield; and City of Dunkirk. For more information on the Agricultural Districts 8-year review process, please visit https://planningchautauqua.com/planning/afpb/agdist-review/, or contact Lauren Sharp at (716) 661-8245 or
IN OTHER NEWS, much of the Gowanda community has their attention on the Women’s World Lacrosse Championship and the Haudenosaunee Nationals. Representing the Iroquois Nation, six of the 18 team members have connections to Gowanda or the surrounding area, including 2021 Gowanda graduate Miya Scanlan, Gowanda girls lacrosse coach Lottie Gill and Jaylyn Jimerson, a top scorer for the Haudenosaunee Na-
tionals from previous years from Collins. Other local area members of the team include Ivy Santana of Irving, Beretta Santana of Irvin and Lois Garlow of the Cattaraugus Territory. The No. 12 Haudenosaunee Nationals had their toughest test of the preliminary round in game one, facing No. 9 Japan on June 30, which resulted in a 13-8 loss. Scanlan led the effort with three goals on four shots. Santana scored twice on two attempts and Garlow scored a lone goal on her third shot of the game. On July 1, the Nationals faced No. 22 China with a much better outcome. They moved into a 7-3 halftime lead and, scoring single goals in the 3rd and 4th quarters, let the Nationals hold on for a 9-6 win. Jimerson shared the top scoring honors in the game with Jock with two goals each. Santana and Garlow each contributed single goals in the game. On July 3, the Nationals faced No. 19 Switzerland. A 7-2 lead after one quarter led the Nationals to shut out Switzerland in the 2nd quarter, 6-0, pulling into a 13-2 advantage at halftime. The Nationals were able to outscore Switzerland in both the 3rd and 4th quarters for a 20-5 win, setting them up for a spot in the Top 16 heading into Championship bracket play. Scanlan ended up as the high scorer in the July 3 game. Local players contributing to the scoring were Garlow (3 goals, 1 assist), Santana (2 goals, 1 assist) and Jimerson (1 goal, 4 assists).

HEALTH DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINICS FOR 6 MONTHS AND OLDER MAYVILLE, N.Y.:-- The Chautauqua County Health Department announces upcoming COVID-19 vaccination clinics for all ages, including persons 6 months and older. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends COVID-19 vaccines (Moderna or Pfizer) for everyone 6 months and older. The benefit of COVID-19 vaccines, like other vaccines, is that those vaccinated get protection without risking the potentially serious consequences of getting sick with COVID-19. Vaccinating children can also help relieve the strain on families by providing greater confidence in children participating in childcare, school, and other activities, as well as minimizing the spread of COVID-19 to older or immunocompromised loved ones. “We have seen a range of symptoms, from very mild to serious illness in children who have been infected with COVID-19 including some cases requiring hospitalization,” said Christine Schuyler, Chautauqua County Public Health Director.
“Vaccination is the best way to protect our children, friends, and families from COVID-19 infection, and the potentially severe disease, disability and death that the infection can lead to.” The Chautauqua County Health Department clinics will offer Moderna vaccine for all age groups. Moderna is a two-shot series with the second dose occurring 4 weeks after the first dose. The clinics will be held at: · Jamestown Community College July 13 and August 10 from 3 to 6 p.m. Carnahan Building – 241 James Ave., Jamestown, NY 14701 · SUNY Fredonia July 14 and August 11 from 3 to 6 p.m. Steele Hall Natatorium Lobby – 280 Central Ave., Fredonia, NY 14063 Everyone must pre-register for the clinics. Visit https:// b i t . l y/ C H Q C OV I DVa x to register. If you need assistance with registration, please call 1-866-604-6789
between 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Parent/legal guardian consent is required for the vaccination of minors. If a parent/guardian is unable to accompany their child, he/ she can designate another adult to consent on their behalf in writing, which must include the name and date of birth of the child, the name and signature of the parent/guardian, and the name of designee. Photo identification and masks will be required. COVID-19 Vaccines are also available at the Health Department’s Mayville office by appointment, and parents may also contact their pediatrician, family health care provider, or pharmacist to inquire about the vaccine. A list of pharmacies that provide the vaccine to this population will be maintained on the County website, chqgov.com, and updated as we become aware of any changes. Listed below are the criteria for each age and dose of Moderna that will be available: · 1st and 2nd doses – Available for everyone 6 months of age and older.

Again this year, the relay run will end at The Resource Center’s location at 186 Lake Shore Drive West in Dunkirk, so more of our employees and people with disabilities can attend.

PRIZES For the 8K Run, cash prizes ($100 for first place, $75 for second, $50 for third) will be awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers. For the 8K Run and 5K Walk, med-
als will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age group. We also will have team awards for the 8K Run and 5K walk. Team times will be based on the combined times of each team’s first four finishers. VIRTUAL EVENTS If you can’t make it to the actual Laurel Run/Walk events, you can sign up to do a virtual run, walk or other activity. NEW THIS YEAR: To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Wayne Hotelling’s trek across New York State for the first Laurel Run, we are offering people the option to virtually re-create Wayne’s 408-mile journey from the New York/Pennsylvania border near Lake Erie to the Massachusetts line. BACKGROUND The Laurel Memorial Run/Walk was created by Wayne and Elaine Hotelling in honor of their oldest daughter, Laurel, who had Down syndrome. For the inaugural event in 1997, Wayne set out to run more than 400 miles across New York State to spread the message that people with disabilities can accomplish great things, if they’re given the chance to prove themselves. After covering about 100 miles in the first five days, Wayne developed a leg injury that sidelined him for a while. Once he recovered, he borrowed a bicycle and picked up where he lift off. When Wayne encountered steep inclines, he would stop riding and Elaine would walk up the hills to officially log the distance. People across the state were inspired by Wayne and Elaine’s determination. So the Hotellings decided to turn Laurel Run into an annual event in their hometown of Silver Creek, NY. For many years Laurel was the Grand Marshal of the event. Sadly, she passed away in 2017 at the age of 54. But her spirit lives on, and
each year hundreds of people with disabilities turn out to support the event The Laurel Memorial Run/ Walk is organized each year by the Hotellings; The Resource Center, which supports people with disabilities in Western New York State; Filling the Gap, Inc., which supports The Resource Center; and a dedicated group of volunteers. Money raised through the event enhances employment and work training opportunities for adults with disabilities, and also supports the advocacy efforts of people with disabilities. Laurel herself had a job at The Resource Center’s manufacturing facility for more than 30 years, and she was proud of her weekly paycheck. If you’re unable to join us, please consider making a donation to The Resource Center Laurel Run Fund in order to show your support for people with disabilities.

A simple salad is a summertime staple When the warm weather beckons, people are apt to spend more time enjoying the great outdoors. Many people also are less likely to prepare heavy meals when the weather warms up. Rich, filling foods can make people feel sluggish, especially on hot days and nights. That’s why salads and summer are such a perfect match. Salads can be made with whichever ingredients home chefs prefer or have on hand. What better way to maximize the summer season than by incorporating summer berries into the salad mix? In this recipe for “Blueberry Spinach Salad with Grilled Chicken” from “Cooking Light: Fresh Food Superfast” (Oxmoor House) from the Editors of Cooking Light, iron, folate, vitamins, and rich antioxidants combine to create a light, tasty meal that’s perfect for
summer evenings.

This sweet ‘sandwich’ is a favorite summertime dessert Ice cream sandwiches are a treat any day of the year, but can be particularly refreshing when the mercury climbs. According to the ice cream novelty company Ice Cream Social, ice cream sandwiches may have evolved from a treat called “okey-pokey” that was once served by street vendors in London. This dessert was a slice of vanilla ice cream cut from a large slab. Providing an easier and more portable way to enjoy a serving of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, food historians believe, were invented in 1899 by an unnamed pushcart vendor in New York City’s Bowery neighborhood. This vendor served vanilla ice cream between two graham wafers. The modern ice cream sandwich, which is the more recognizable rectangular serving of vanilla ice cream nestled between two chocolate cookie wafers, is attributed to Jerry Newberg. Newberg began selling these novelties at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh in 1945. Ice cream sandwiches gained popularity around this time for their portability as well as their flavor, so much so that the popular Carvel® ice cream company unveiled its own take on the ice cream sandwich — The Flying Saucer® — in 1951 to celebrate the opening of its 100th franchise shop. Other manufacturers have their own ice cream sandwich incarnations, and ingredients vary around the world. Cookies, cakes, biscuits or other ingredients
serve as the “bread” to hold the ice cream in place. The novelties also are not difficult to make at home. People can experiment at home by scooping softened ice cream and placing it between home-baked or store-bought cookies. Ice cream sandwiches also can be turned into other desserts, such as an ice cream sandwich cake or an icebox cake. All that is needed are a few ingredients and some imagination. Unwrap ice cream sandwiches and layer them in a cake pan, such as a rectangular or a round springform pan (cut the sandwiches in half for the springform pan and layer vertically versus horizontally in a rectan-
gular pan), with hot fudge, caramel sauce and whipped topping, as desired. Extras like chopped nuts, sprinkles, crumbled cookies, or chopped up chocolate bars can be added to the cake to customize flavor. End with a top layer of whipped topping for the “frosting.” The ice cream cake should be covered and frozen for at least 30 minutes before serving. The internet is full of ice cream sandwich cake recipes in greater detail for those who need more guided instruction. This is one treat that probably won’t have many leftovers. Ice cream sandwiches originated more than a century ago and remain a delicious treat on a hot day.
