CPOWNY and Buffalo Zoo pair up to welcome giraffe calf By Lizz Schumer

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

There is a new face at The Buffalo Zoo, and Community Papers of WNY Inc. is partnering with the Zoo to welcome its first Zoo-born baby in some time: A baby giraffe. The male calf arrived in the middle of the night on Oct. 24 to first-time parents A.J., 5, and Moke, 3. Community Papers of WNY, parent company of the Gowanda News, has planned a year of events and promotions, in conjunction with the Zoo, to welcome the newest addition to Western New York. A formal press release will be released by the Zoo and CPOWNY on Dec. 15, announcing the still-anonymous baby’s name, as well as the reasoning behind its new moniker. The newspaper group and the Zoo are working together to host a series of events and contests, to coincide with the

calf’s first year of life, and CPOWNY readers will be the first to know, and participate in, these promotions. Baby giraffes tend to remain with their parents until they are around about 22 months old, so the organization has plenty of time to spend with the new little one. Special events will include a coloring contest, in which

children in grades K-4 color a drawing of the baby giraffe and mother from a drawing template included in all community papers. A winner will be selected from each of CPOWNY’s 25 community newspapers by random drawing, and each winner will receive a family pass for the Buffalo Zoo: two parents and two children. Next will be a contest for

winning a named, baby giraffe plush animal, for sharp-eyed readers. A series of eight billboards by Lamar of Buffalo is located throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area that feature the photo and name of the new Buffalo Zoo baby giraffe. The first family from each of the 25 community papers to correctly submit all eight route and cross-street billboard locations will receive the collectible baby giraffe. Outdoor billboards will be in place for six weeks, starting Dec. 15. According to CPOWNY Director of Marketing Dr. Janet Gane, the baby giraffe’s arrival will be heralded by a year-long calendar of events, distributed by the 25 papers, as well as WNY Health Magazine, with an article focused on conservation and preservation of the animals’ natural habitats. “There’s a real concern about

The Town of Perrysburg is considering some alterations to the meeting room in the town hall, Councilman Richard Gabel said at the Dec. 8 town board meeting. Gabel said unused space in the room could be converted to expand the clerk’s office and provide office space for Water Superintendent Robin Clark. There would be no addition to the building, merely partitioning of existing space. The board also is looking into replacing the carpeting in the board room. Work on the new heating system is about 65 percent complete, Gabel said. A recent boiler inspection was satisfactory and three of the six zones are up and running. Gabel said the system should be completed by the first week of January. Code Enforcement Officer James Pacanowski issued two building permits in November. He is still waiting for information regarding a variance for the proposed cell tower on Versailles-Silver Creek Road and an application to install additional antennas on the Peck Hill tower. Property maintenance inspections are continuing, and he sent violation letters to two property owners. Pacanowski issued two violation notices for work started without a building permit. He is still working on the revised town zoning document and will provide the board and assessor with a summary of building projects in the town in 2014. The board passed resolutions to spend state and county highway funds, and renewed the snow and ice removal contract with the state for Route 39 for the winter of 2014-15. The town will receive $82,357.22 from the state, or $5,967.9145 per lane mile. This is an increase of $8,840.73, or 12 percent

more than last year’s figure. Supervisor Dennis Stopen said there are 13.8 lane miles of state highway in the town. Perrysburg provides winter maintenance on Route 39 from the bridge in downtown Gowanda to the Chautauqua County line. In other business, the board: • Approved payment from the following accounts: General Fund, $21,328.98; Highway Fund, $34,777.16; Gowanda Prospect Street Water District, $17; Perrysburg Central Water District, $1,133.17; Versailles Lighting District, $595.15; Special Residential District, including lighting and waste disposal, $1,290.34; Special Sewer District, $6,232.42; Versailles Water District, $317.59. • Learned that the Perrysburg Fire Department purchased a 2004 rescue truck from Alabama. Firemen drove to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to pick it up. It will be put into service as soon as radios are installed. • Heard Town Justice Lori Dankert’s court report for November. She closed eight Vehicle & Traffic cases in October, along with three penal law and three animal control cases. A total of $1,341 in court fines and surcharges was reported to the State Comptroller’s office, distributed as follows: State, $541; County, $40; and Town, $760. • Announced a rabies clinic for cats, dogs and ferrets from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 10 at the Cattaraugus County Public Works building on Route 242 west of Little Valley. • Scheduled a year-end wrap-up meeting for 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 29 in the town board room. The next regular Perrysburg Town Board meeting is Monday, Jan. 12 at 7 p.m. at the town hall, 10460 Peck Hill Road, County Route 58.

Opinions & Editorial W W W. G O W A N D A N E W S . C O M

Gowanda event was enjoyed Editor: The United Way of Gowanda commends all committee members who had a hand in arranging the recent Christmas in Gowanda weekend. The crowds on Friday evening for the tree lighting were impressive, parking lots were full, and the local volunteer fire companies did an amazing job of presenting every piece of equipment in the parade in splendid, colorful fashion and even with humor. They were terrific! There were many other activities, and everyone I saw seemed to be having a great time. The United Way of Gowanda also thanks the committee for our own small corner of the event. Eleven gift certificates graciously supplied by local merchants were given to donors to the current United Way campaign as drawn by lottery. Our poster under the marquee listed them and hopefully drew some attention to our mission of helping various community activities.

An Amish Collections gift certificate went to Joan and Jerry Greenlee, and a Gabel Bros. Furniture certificate was awarded to David and Doreen Fox. Evelyn Hubacher and David and Donna Powell received free oil changes from Gowanda Ford. We believe Shirley Dash was pleased to get a gift card from Gowanda Shop ‘n Save, while Charlotte Weinaug will take her certificate to Hager’s Florist. Hair We Are gave us two gift certificates which were drawn for Shirley Troutman and Betty Wallschlaeger. J & J Outfitters’ certificate went to Dick and Sarah Stitzel. Carol Leonard received a certificate to Jesse’s Toybox, and Stefanena Kysor now has incentive to shop at McCormack’s Hardware. We are hugely grateful to the local merchants who supported us and remind everyone that the campaign is still on for donations to United Way of Gowanda at Box 324, Gowanda.

Show respect for flag

Editor: The other day I was driving into the business section of the village. Upon my travel, I for the first time noticed our big beautiful country flag above the Persia Town Hall and it looked wonderful. The flag appeared to be permanent. The proper way to respect our flag is to raise it at sunlight and to be taken down at sundown and to be taken down during

rain and snow. There is one way to respect the flag at these times. It is to have a spotlight on it to clearly shine and display our symbol of our United States of America. It has been brought to my attention that neither does the U.S. Post Office or the Village Town Hall. I sure hope that the different veteran posts in the vicinity also display the flag in the proper manner.

Every person in the armed service may suffer serious injury or death. This pertained to veterans from WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, Grenada, the Persian Gulf War and now in Afghanistan. They stand up or stood up for freedom, whether you agree with the cause or not, they still put their lives or bodies at risk, severe risk. Should we be guilty of disrespecting the symbol they fight

or fought under? They deserve more. They come or came home in coffins, they come or came home in need of prosthesis, they come or came home with their vision or hearing impaired. They put their lives, bodies and minds at great risk. They deserve more. Let them get the respect they deserve by all of us respecting our symbol of freedom. Now. Charles Vohwinkel Gowanda

Perrysburg mulls changes to town hall space By Phil Palen

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

The Town of Perrysburg is considering some alterations to the meeting room in the town hall, Councilman Richard Gabel said at the Dec. 8 town board meeting. Gabel said unused space in the room could be converted to expand the clerk’s office and provide office space for Water Superintendent Robin Clark. There would be no addition to the building, merely partitioning of existing space. The board also is looking into replacing the carpeting in the board room. Work on the new heating system is about 65 percent complete, Gabel said. A recent boiler inspection was satisfactory and three of the six zones are up and running. Gabel said the system should be completed by the first week of January. Code Enforcement Officer

James Pacanowski issued two building permits in November. He is still waiting for information regarding a variance for the proposed cell tower on Versailles-Silver Creek Road and an application to install additional antennas on the Peck Hill tower. Property maintenance inspections are continuing, and he sent violation letters to two property owners. Pacanowski issued two violation notices for work started without a building permit. He is still working on the revised town zoning document and will provide the board and assessor with a summary of building projects in the town in 2014. The board passed resolutions to spend state and county highway funds, and renewed the snow and ice removal contract with the state for Route 39 for the winter of 2014-15. The town will receive $82,357.22 from the state, or $5,967.9145 per lane mile. This is an increase of

$8,840.73, or 12 percent more than last year’s figure. Supervisor Dennis Stopen said there are 13.8 lane miles of state highway in the town. Perrysburg provides winter maintenance on Route 39 from the bridge in downtown Gowanda to the Chautauqua County line.

Joint football program continued By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

The North Collins School Board ratified participating for another year in a joint football program with the Eden School District. Speaking at the board's Dec. 9 meeting, District Superintendent Joan Thomas said, “We thought the students benefitted and we think we want to go forward with it.” The district is also formulating search criteria as it seeks a replacement for retiring Jr.-Sr. High Principal Annie Metcalf. Thomas offered as a possible formula a committee consisting of department heads and administrators, to union officials and even a student representative. Another set of teams with

community and parental representation, would assist in narrowing the candidate field to two or three. Board member Mike Stefan said he would like to see the board included earlier in the process. Board member Shannon Locking offered an ideal time line for the hire. “Hopefully, we'll have all the criteria done by February. We can post the position by May and have a new Principal in here by July 1.” District Treasurer Crystal Cocca reported that the final tax collection deadline had passed and delinquent taxes have been turned over to the county. She also noted that the district saved $7,000 in expenses over last year, by moving tax-collecting duties back into the district office. Teacher’s Aide Terry Blidy

reported the annual Senior Citizen Luncheon was a success, with record attendance. Blidy noted the seniors' own Thanksgiving dinner was cancelled due to snow and the senior group donated funds earmarked for that event to assist families affected by the storm. The board adopted increases in its substitute teacher pay schedule to bring it in line with neighboring districts. Non-certified substitutes will receive $70 per day while those certified will now receive $90 per day. For certified substitutes kept in continuous service the rate rises to $105 per day for 3059 days and to $130 per day between 60-89 days. For days after that period the substitute will be paid the same as a fulltime employee. In other business, the board:

• Appointed Sharyn Sisti as Licensed Practical Nurse and Shannon McMullen as Cheerleading Coach under the direction of the athletic director. • Created a Temporary Daily Certified Substitute Teacher Pre-K-12 position. The action was taken to address a continuing shortage of available substitutes. • Approved unpaid volunteer status for Casey Bucco as an assistant for boys' basketball and Jordan and Jaden Keough as statisticians for boys' basketball. • Established $450 as the resident and non-resident tuition for the 2015 Summer Driver Education program. The board will meet next on Jan. 13 in the high school library, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Christmas in Gowanda attracts hundreds By Mary Pankow NEWS EDITOR

Those who needed a little push to get into the holiday spirit were treated to a weekend of activities in Gowanda to inspire some Santa-based thinking. Organized by the Village of Gowanda, the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation and Gowanda Area Chamber of Commerce, the event, Christmas in Gowanda, kicked off with a tree-lighting celebration at Chang-Hu Park on Friday, Dec. 5. Master of Ceremonies Dave Gabel welcomed the hundreds gathered to sing carols, hear several guest speakers, see the Living Nativity and watch as the lights on the Christmas tree under the gazebo were turned on. The musical talents of the Gowanda High School Chamber Singers and Gowanda Free Methodist Church Worship Team led audience members in familiar seasonal tunes. Lucille, the donkey, stood patiently as "Mary" and "Joseph" and an "Angel" with the guiding Star of Bethlehem presented the Living Nativity. As MC Gabel guided everyone through the program for the evening's festivities, he introduced special guests Assemblyman Joe Giglio, retired Gowanda Schools Superintendent Charles Rinaldi, current Superintendent Jim Klubek, retired Gowanda Elementary

COLORING CONTEST 3-4-YEAR-OLDS — Bella Maines of Gowanda takes first place in the Coloring Contest and accepts her prize from Santa. School Principal Janice Stokes and current Principal Carrie Dzierba, the Gowanda Panther Youth Football players and cheerleaders, along with Nic Christopher and Aaron Barlow, who were chosen to flip the switch on the Christmas tree lights. Although snow was absent for Christmas in Gowanda, there was a chill in the air. Park visitors could ward off the cold by enjoying hot cocoa and cookies

provided by W.I.G.S. (Women in God's Service). And then, within minutes, it was time for the tree, donated by Dixieland Tree Farm, to be lit. Both Nic and Aaron, who have suffered from medical challenges, were in the spotlight and they flipped the switch for the lights; a round of applause by the large crowd followed. Once the tree lighting was over, everyone lined West Main Street to witness a parade of

fire department vehicles from the area (and even horses and a wagon) that were decorated for the Christmas celebration. Seasonal favorites, such as Santa, the Grinch and, especially this year, Elsa from "Frozen," were "chauffeured" to the downtown area. After the last fire truck went by, adults and children followed on foot, to partake in the rest of the activities planned for Christmas in Gowanda. While in downtown Gowanda, visitors had the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping at stores that offered extended hours. Children could make free ornaments, watch movies at the Hollywood Theater, visit with Santa and take a wagon ride. Christmas in Gowanda didn't stop with Friday's activities, however. On Saturday, Dec. 6, train rides were offered, more movies were shown, an ice sculptor exhibited his artistic ability on a large block of ice, transforming it into a snowflake (that graced the entrance to the Hollywood Theater until warmer temperatures reduced it to just a blob on a box). Princess Elsa greeted everyone under the theater marquee and winners of the Coloring Contest, Merchant Window Decorating Contest and the Shop Local Basket were announced. Bella Maines, Honey Huff, Alaina Kaczmarczyk and Kaitlyn Hastie demonstrated their talents and won the Coloring Contest in their respective cat-

egories. Artista, The Attic and Soles Unlimited had window displays that celebrated the season. Lucky winners who shopped locally were Selina Wienkie, Jason Goodemote and Liz Reid. Once the youngsters received their Coloring Contest gift baskets from Santa, and the other winners were declared, the

Christmas in Gowanda event came to a close. Santa headed back to the North Pole, Elsa was off to make an appearance elsewhere and those who wanted to see Elsa on screen could head into the theater to watch “Frozen.” Another Christmas in Gowanda was over and, surprisingly, it was snow free.

Luncheon spans generations

TRANSFORMED-The North Collins Elementary School gym was turned into the area's latest dining hot spot as it served as the venue for the annual Senior Holiday Luncheon on Dec. 4. The event is sponsored by the Town of North Collins and the school district, and hosted by students. By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

“The whole building gets excited,” said Teacher Aide Terry Blidy who served as coordinator for this year's Holiday Senior Luncheon at the North Collins Elementary School. The annual event is cosponsored by the school district and the Town of North Collins, and invites all senior citizens of the community to share a Thanksgiving-style meal. The event seems to be past its 20-year mark, although no one was quite certain. “It was already going when I began here 13 years ago, said school Principal John Cataldo. The walls of the school gym were festooned with large Christmas trees painted by the school's Pre-k students. Each

was topped with a star bearing a picture of the artist who created it. Seniors also received individual cards at each place setting created by all grades at the school as well as participants in the town's after-school program. Poinsettias adorned each table. Donated by the town, lucky winners would be taking them home. Blidy was beaming with the nearly 100 seniors who gathered. “It's our largest crowd ever,” she said. For Cataldo he sees the event as a two-sided win for all. “The kids get a chance to give back to the seniors and seniors get a chance to meet some nice kids.” The students who served the seniors were selected by their teachers and were coached by school staffer Scott Gill. Prior to the lunch, three stu-

dents entertained with holiday tunes on a piano. After, it was the kindergartners' chance to shine, singing some all-time favorites. Blidy said it all works because everyone comes together. “We couldn't set up here until evening activities were done last night, we were here until 10:30 p.m.,” she said. She said every department in the school plays a role. “The cafeteria staff catered the meal, the custodial staff jumped right in and we gave this year's theme to Art Instructor Donna Jensen and she incorporated it into her program,” Blidy added. For current the North Collins Senior Citizens' group president, Judy Feltz, she enjoys coming each year. “The kids do an excellent job, the food is wonderful. We want to thank the school for this,” she said.

Gowanda boys basketball will reload this season

DAVE ECKHARDT

Gowanda is looking to build on a 12-9 record from a season ago.

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

With the loss of three starters from the 2013-14 varsity boys’ basketball team at Gowanda Central School; you would think that the Panthers would have a tough hill to climb to continue their winning ways this season. However, that should not be the case with several quality players returning, improve-

ment from last year’s reserve players and the influx of talent from an undefeated junior varsity team. Under Coach Andy Bobseine, the Panthers have every intention of duplicating their 12-9 record from last year. “Our league will be very strong with Randolph and Salamanca as the teams to beat,” said Bobseine, a third-year coach at Gowanda, following his team’s second preseason scrimmage. “Silver Creek has also joined our division this year and will be a very good team, too.” Although the Panthers will rely on underclassman to carry

the bulk of the load, they have the experience. Juniors Carter Benton and Lucas Brawdy have both played on the varsity team since they were freshmen. Benton had several solid performances last year and will replace the graduated Chase Williams at the point guard position. “His ability to be the floor general on the court and make good decisions will be instrumental to our team’s success,” Bobseine said. “Brawdy will use his athleticism to play multiple positions throughout each game and expose the weaknesses of our opponents.” Seniors Jordan Young, Kenny Brant, Les Young, Randy

Jimerson, Jon Kennedy and Kyle Farner also return from last year’s squad. They will also see plenty of playing time this year. Bobseine has been most impressed during preseason with the emergence of Les Young, who has developed into a good outside shooter. Jordan Young and Jimerson can also knock down shots from behind the arc while Brant, Kennedy and Farner will play inside the paint. Last year’s undefeated junior varsity team will have several players on the varsity this year that will contribute. Leading the way is freshman Nate Brawdy. The slender shooting guard will be the first player off of the bench and is capable of scoring in double figures each game. Adam and Lee John are both very good guards. Adam is a shooter while Lee hustles on defense. Kevin Stapleton and Armani Gomez will be counted on to rebound and spell Gowanda’s big men. With several very talented teams in the division, Bobseine will have his team play multiple fronts on defense to put their opponent’s offense on its heels. “We will use our quickness and quick-hit potential to get out in transition for easy buckets,” Bobseine said. The Panthers’defense should be much improved from last year. The Panthers will begin league play with games against Silver Creek, Salamanca and Randolph in December. Other teams in Gowanda’s conference are Allegany-Limestone, Portville and CattaraugusLittle Valley. The Blue and White will also travel to Springville over the Christmas recess to compete in the Emerling Ford Tournament.

Lady Panthers look to build on last year’s season

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The Gowanda Central School Varsity Girls Basketball Team will look to improve on last year’s 7-14 season with no senior players on the roster. “Coaching is teaching, not only fundamentals, but how to play the game,” is the philosophy Gowanda head coach Jennifer Depasquale employs. “Be positive and have a passion for the game.” Gowanda’s preseason roster includes only nine players with four juniors, two sophomores and three freshmen leading

the way. The Blue and White Lady Panthers will no doubt have their work cut for them throughout the season. Depasquale expects Randolph and Portville to give her troops the most difficulty. Gowanda has selected junior Gabby Lay and sophomore Raeann White as the team captains. Besides being team leaders, both will be expected to carry the load once the season begins. Although it is a small squad in both numbers and height, Depasquale stresses that the Panthers must “value all of the players on the roster.” She wants her team to be well prepared for practices that will carry over to success in the games.

Catt./LV hopes to improve North Collins Eagles emphasize offense to build on one-win year

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The Cattaraugs-Little Valley varsity boys basketball team will be looking to improve on last year’s record of 4-14 when it begins its season at the Joylan Theatre Tournament in Gowanda during the first weekend in December. And the Timberwolves have several skilled players that should be up to the task. Under veteran coach Matt Minnekine, Catt.-LVwill rely on lettermen Darrell Prtichard, DJ Stevens and Kyle O’Donnell to move up in the standings in a very tough CCAA East Division I. “We lost Justin Forsters to graduation and will need someone to step up and handle the ball while playing intense defense,” Minnekine noted. “The league is very difficult with Salamanca, Randolph, Portville and Allegany-Limestone all formidable opponents.” Gowanda and Silver Creek are also league members and should be an additional chal-

Darnell Pritchard is a key player for Catt./LV. lenge in their home and home contests with the Timberwolves this season, Pritchard is listed as a 6-foot10 center. The senior led the team in rebounding last year. Stevens is a 6-foot guard in his third varsity season. He averaged 8 points and 8 rebounds during the 2013-14 campaign.

O’Donnell is the other starting guard.The 5-foot-9 junior with a year of varsity experience under his belt will also be counted as one of the team’s key players.

The main problem at North Collins last winter was scoring. Rob Catalino thought that his boys basketball team had the talent and the will to compete last season but the inability to score enough baskets held the Eagles back from what they could have been. Coming off of a season in which the Eagles were able to earn just one victory, the main objective for this season is to focus on the offensive end of the floor and let the offense carry the team to victories. “I want to be able to score points, defend hard and not turn the ball over,” Catalino said. “We’re not big, but I want to be scrappy. I have athletic kids that I can press with

North Collins is hoping a more powerful offense will help it improve on a 1-16 2013up and down the floor.” North Collins rostered a deep senior class just a couple of years ago that hurt the basketball team the following year. The team featured many young and inexperienced players that had to show up and fill in the holes. Contests were not too close to begin the year, but by year’s end the Eagles had turned around what were 30-point deficits into single-digit losses.

“We had a lot of seniors two years ago and only had two last year,” Catalino noted. “We were young and struggled last year. We won one game. We became more competitive in the end of the season but we struggled to score. “We only scored 40 points one game, the only game we won.” While Catalino wants to keep the defensive intensity up for the entire season, he is prepared for his team to score a lot more often this winter and hopes to be more competitive. “This year we’re very young but we have some guys who can score,” he said. “We’re going to play up-tempo and try to score 70-80 points a game. If we give up 100, I’d rather lose 100-70 than 50-20.” Leading the way for North Collins will be the likes of Aaron Strauss, Matt Partnitske, Kyle Loretto and David Lynch.

Silver Creek boys eye championship, Gowanda cheer hosts girls have new-look team this season pancake breakfast

By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The Silver Creek varsity boys basketball team has changed divisions this season. However, it plans on continuing its winning ways. Under fifth-year coach Rob Genco, the Black Knights have posted an overall record of 71-18.. Silver Creek has also won the opening game on this year’s schedule. “Our goal is to win the division and compete to play in our fourth straight sectional title game,” is how Genco assessed this year’s team. “We have named Bill Brooks and Connor Gates as our captains.” Brooks is a 6-foot-7 senior center. Gates, a former Gowanda High School student, is a 5-foot-10 junior guard. Both players scored in double

figures in Silver Creek’s first win of the season. Besides Brooks, Sherman Williams is the other returning starter on Genco’s club “We have to get by Salamanca and Randolph in conference play. They will both be tough teams,” Genco said. Other teams in the conference include: Gowanda, Allegany-Limestone, Portville and Cattaraugus-Little Valley. The projected starting five for Silver Creek will be Brooks, Williams, Connor Gates, Chance Gates and Trevon Thompson. Besides Brooks, only Chance Gates is listed over 6 feet tall. The senior is 6-foot-3 and should help Brooks on the boards. Other key players are: James Corbin, Chris Williams, Jacob Lewis and Heron Snow. Silver Creek has a long tradition of playing very competitive basketball going back to the 1960s under coach Curt Raymond. They will no doubt bring another formidable foe into an already-talented conference that includes several intense rivalries. The Black Knights will have

much in common with both Gowanda and Salamanca with several NativeAmerican players on each roster. The Black and Gold will be the only school in the conference that is located in Chautauqua County. Therefore, they will have the longest road trips during the season with long-distance drives to Portville and Allegany. But Silver Creek will be up to the task and its talent level should be able to overcome any inconveniences with the schedule. Look for Silver Creek to win several games when the Section VI playoffs begin in late February. ••• It is a new year for the Silver Creek girls varsity basketball team, and with it comes a new look. “Seventy percent of our scoring graduated last June,” according to head coach Tammy Rice. “We lost center Jordan Brooks and point guard Jade Lewis. We will however look to play a faster style of basketball. “We have a new offense

this season that hopefully will create scoring opportunities for multiple players.” Senior Darrien Spruce will have big shoes to fill at the center position. “She takes it strong to the hoop and penetrates well,” said Rice. Spruce scored 17 points in the Hae Jude Tournament that saw the Black Knights place second. Spruce was named to the all-tournament team. Sophomore Nicole Jimerson will be instrumental in running the point guard position this season. Coach Rice has seen a lot of growth and maturity in her game over the past year. Seniors Kalee Dexter and Christina Williams will also be counted on to play a major role if Silver Creek is to compete for a top spot in the league. Other key plays at Silver Creek this season include: Melissa Wilcox, Karen Snow, Sarah Adams, Maddy Eggleston, Kennedy Eggleston, Jenny Pearl, Janelle Cossin and Emily Seneca. Rice had nothing but praise for each of her student-athletes as they prepared for an important game at Westfield.

The girls would like to thank Doug and Luann Heckman and everyone at K&L Lanes who did such a fantastic job of making sure the breakfast was a success.

Pine Valley boys welcome new coach for 2014-15 season By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

This winter, the Pine Valley boys varsity basketball team will welcome a new head coach. After two years of leading the Panthers junior varsity program, Dave Pihlblad will get his first opportunity to coach the varsity squad. Pihlblad is a Medaille College graduate who is also employed by the school district as a Social Studies teacher.

“Our first goal is being able to compete in the league,” was the first-year coach’s analysis after a recent scrimmage against Gowanda. “We also have a very competitive nonleague schedule with games against Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Panama, Chautauqua Lake and Cassadaga Valley.” Pine Valley opened its 2014-15 season on Dec. 2 with a 63-46 loss at home against the Cougars from Cassadaga Valley. Senior guard Dylan Granger led the Panthers in scoring with 13 points.

“Dylan will be our leader on the floor this season,” Pihlblad said. “He will have to do it all if we are going to be successful.” This will be Granger’s third year on the varsity team. Junior Kilian Abers has the size of a guard but will be expected to battle the opposing team’s big men since the Panthers lack height. Abers was a wide receiver and defensive back at Gowanda this past fall in football when the two schools merged their programs. He will need to show the same athletic abil-

ity on the basketball court this winter. “Kilian is undersized but he realizes that we need him to play multiple positions,” Pihlblad stated before the first game of the season. Abers scored 10 points in the opening-night loss to Cassadaga Valley. The team’s point guard will be Russell Hayes. “Russell will have to penetrate opposing defenses and also be a facilitator on offense,” Pihlblad said. Hayes scored five points in the opener last week.

Other top players to watch this year include: Zack Sticek, Elijah Hall and Dylan Chase. Sticek is “the most athletic kid on the team,” Pihlblad said. He is a junior playing on the varsity for the first time. Hall scored 12 points against Cassadaga Valley and is listed as a shooting guard. He is also a junior in his first varsity season. Chase is only a sophomore but can also put the ball through the hoop on a regular basis. Pine Valley will not compete in any tournaments

during the season. However, it hopes to improve on last year’s 5-13 record and make some noise at the Section VI tournament that is scheduled for late February. The main objective for coach Pihlblad’s team is to show progress throughout the season. Franklinville and neighboring Forestville will be the team’s toughest league opponents. If the Panthers can compete with both of those teams, Pine Valley should be able to reach the .500 mark and beyond.

Depasquale ‘upbeat’ Catt./LV girls take on new direction about season By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

“Gowanda” from page B1

DAVE ECKHARDT

Under first-year head coach Mike Jones, the Cattaraugus-Little Valley varsity girls basketball team will be going in a new direction. The school’s JV softball coach for the past two years is at least familiar with many of his current basketball players having coached them in another sport. However, there are sure to be growing pains for the Lady Timberwolves, whose Junior Varsity coach is Sally Hadley. She is also in her first year at Catt-LV. A third coach is volunteer assistant Christy Brumagin. She was a former player for the “Big Red”

in Cattaraugus before they merged with the Little Valley School District several years ago. “We have eight players returning from last year’s team, that includes three starters,” an optimistic Jones replied. “The three veterans are Kaylin Brumagin, Megan Jones and Jenna Martin.” Jones went on to say that his roster is made up of 10 players with six seniors and four juniors. “Our team captains this season will be Kaylin Brumagin and Megan Jones, who are both three-year varsity players,” Jones said. The Timberwolves will not be lacking in experience or leadership, but they will be short on height.

“I think we will make up for our lack of height with our heart,” the first-year coach said. “We have a good group of athletes and will look forward to the challenge.” The challenge will no doubt come from powerhouses that reside in Randolph and AlleganyLimestone. Other league opponents for Catt.-LV are Gowanda, Salamanca, Portville and Silver Creek. There will be no easy division games for the Timberwolves this season. “We know we have our hands full as our league has so many good teams,” Jones said. “Our staff is excited about the opportunity to coach all of the girls in the program. One of our goals this season is to play

hard and be competitive in every game.” Aside from the three entrenched starters, the Catt.-LV roster also includes seniors Claudia McGlew, Emily Keating and Taylor Wright. The junior class is represented by Savanna Studley, Nicole Benz, Taylor Loop and Hannah Powers. Cattaraugus-Little Valley was one of the first teams to open the 2014-15 season. It defeated West Valley on Dec. 2 by a score of 3226. Jenna Martin scored a game-high 14 points to give Mike Jones his first coaching victory at the varsity level. The Timberwolves will be looking to add to that inaugural win for their coach during the next three months.

Gowanda’s Raeann White. The other three juniors include: Jennah Stelley, Paige Gravius and Allise Barreto. Allise played football for the varsity Panthers this past fall. Gravius is 5-foot-10 and provides Gowanda with some much-needed height. The other sophomore on the team is Da:’Di’ Jones. The 5-foot-6 guard will see valuable minutes this winter. She is also a very good player on Gowanda’s very talented softball team in the spring. Brook Haggart, Megan Stang and Alexis Hawkins are the team’s three freshmen.

Hawkins will no doubt be the team’s top rebounder. She is the team’s tallest player at 5-foot-11. Depasquale is enthusiastic and upbeat. The Panthers’ coach will continue to encourage her players throughout the season because she knows that with such a young team, there will be growing pains. Gowanda opened its season on Dec. 4 at the Hae Jude Tournament. The Lady Panthers lost to Lake Shore. Raeann White led Gowanda in scoring with 16 points. Da:”Di’ Jones chipped in with nine points.

Timberwolves are ‘very young’ “Wolves” from page B1 Other returning players include: Kodie Skeels, a 6-foot-2 senior forward, and guard Caleb Hibit, 5-foot-8. First year players on the Catt.-LV roster are juniors Hunter Baker, Devon Parmenter, Alex Perkins, Anthony Bernadi plus sophomore Kellen Martin. Parmenter is listed at 6-foot-3 and should give the Timberwolves

another solid presence guarding the basket and collecting rebounds. “We have a very young team,” was Minnekine’s preseason assessment. The opening tournament at Gowanda that also includes North Collins and West Valley should answer some questions and give the inexperienced Timberwolves

some much-needed game action. Cattaraugus-Little Valley was very competitive through three quarters of most games last season. However, its lack of depth often led to fading in the final eight minutes of the game. This year, the Wolves will need everyone on the 10-man roster to contribute every night.

With the addition of the Black Knights from Silver Creek, the league that was already regarded as one of the best small school divisions in Western New York became even better. To improve on last year’s record, the Timberwolves must be ready in all phases of the game every time they take the floor season.

Gowanda News /Saturday, December 13, 2014

Young Eagles have shown promise, NC girls benefit from busy summer “Eagles” from page B1 Catalino is also intrigued by the promise his younger guys have shown. Sophomore Dylan Mercado will lead the younger group full of underclassmen that features shooters, dunkers and hardnosed ball players. Mercado started as a freshman last season “Our young guys, they’re going to be good in a couple of years,” said Catalino. The plan to score more points came to light in the season opener against West Valley on Dec. 5. The Eagles lost a 68-54 decision as they began the season 0-1. ••• John Lewis and the Lady Eagles are currently 0-2. They fell to Cattaragus/Little Valley after opening the season with a 55-49 overtime loss to McKinley. Entering his second season, the most important thing Lewis implemented was a summer program to get the girls in the gym and playing basketball more often. Most students play basketball to stay busy and in shape while mainly focusing on other school sports like volleyball, soccer and softball. “The biggest thing was getting a summer program going,” said Lewis. “We had a couple modified and JV girls that played every day.” Lewis runs a diverse roster which features five seniors, three juniors, a freshman and an eighth grader. Seniors Arrika Bley, a division second teamer last year, and Sam Gier are two of the team’s steadier players, Lewis said. Carly Richardson, also a senior, surprised Lewis by how well she can handle the press. Jenna Keppel came on strong defensively at the end of last year in Lewis’ full court press and Aurora Klawinski rounds out the senior class in her third year on varsity.

DAVE ECKHARDT

Sam Gier and the NC girls hoops teams worked hard during the summer. “This year I probably don’t have the ability to go full court because I have more forwards than guards, but we may impose a three quarter defense, hopefully slow up some teams and go from there,” Lewis said. “The biggest thing is the five seniors,” said Lewis. “Team wise, we are solid. Now we have to transition that plan into playing. We have 10 games at home out of 18 that should help the travel. Juniors Kim Gick and Riley Bartels helped out last year

and will again be counted on to have strong supporting roles along with their classmate Maddie Burgess. Eighth grader Baylee Romano and freshman Isabelle Wroblewski adds youth and skill for the present and future at North Collins. “Practice wise, everybody runs through the same skills: power dribbles, attacking the basket, three-ball shooting, ladders and cones, bounce pass machine…something I always did at [Mount] Mercy and Cleve Hill,” said Lewis.

Though they are not a tall team, Lewis remains intrigued with the way his Eagles can compete and thinks they can have a much more impressive showing than the pair of wins they earned in 2013-14 behind the leadership of his senior class. “We’re going to be weak rebounding but there’s not a lot of strong rebounding girls basketball teams,” Lewis noted. “I’m just kind of excited for the five seniors. This could one of their better years in a long time.”

Cortright takes reins for Pine Valley girls By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

After assisting under longtime Pine Valley High School girls basketball coaching legend Tim Nobles for the past seven years, Bryelle Cortright takes over the reins of one of the most successful scholastic girls programs in the state. “I coach with the philosophy to have a winner mentality,” is how the first-year varsity coach approaches the upcoming season. Pine Valley posted an overall record 18-3 last season and won another Section

VI championship. But don’t look for a letdown anytime soon as the Lady Panthers are poised to make another run at the sectional title. “My general outlook is positive and we have put together a very competitive non-league schedule that includes Fredonia, Randolph, Frewsburg and Chautauqua Lake,” Cortright said. “The key opponents in our own division will be Ellicottville and Franklinville.” The purple Panthers lost Kayla Mansfield, Aeren Waterman and Laurel Killock to graduation. However, there are several players ready to step right in and continue to pile up the victories at the Cherry Creek/

South Dayton-based school. “If we can continue to make steady improvements and build on what we already have, we could do great things,” was Cortright’s preseason prediction. The starting five going into the season will be seniors Alex Bentham, Kaleigh Brunswick, Kate Horth plus junior Jessica Wilcox and Jamie Wilcox. The starters can change from game to game, according to Coach Cortright. Key reserves will be Karah Herman, Emily Raiport, Brittany Howard, Lindsey Crisanti, Noemi Silleman and Machika Nishida. “In teaching a winner’s mentality, our players are

learning hard work, dedication, passion, commitment, team values and pushing through hard times,” is the rookie coach’s philosophy. “To be the best, you have to play the best and beat the best,” is another philosophy that Coach Cortright inherited from the dynasty she was part of under Nobles. If you are looking to watch some of the best small school basketball this season, look no further than the Pine Valley girls varsity team. It is ready to continue under a new coach but with the same mentality. Pine Valley knows it has a chance to win every time it steps onto the court.

Hornet boys hoops expects to be competitive in division By Mark Benton SPORTS REPORTER

The 2013-14 Forestville varsity boys basketball team had a season reminiscent to the ones the school’s program put together in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Hornets won the league championship last season with a record of 9-1. The team’s overall record was 11-9. However, fifth-year coach Ralph Jackson is not resting

on his laurels. He has high hopes for another good season. “I expect us to be competitive in our league this year and compete for another league title,” Jackson said. “We lost to Panama in the Section VI semifinals last year and want to advance further this season. Our main competition will come from Franklinville.” Jackson also stated that “Ellicottville and Pine Valley will also be competitive.” The Hornets compete in

Class D against other schools with similar enrollments located in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus County. There are many good rivalries in the league. Most of the league games should be close throughout. Returning players for Forestville are Seniors Caleb Makuch, Dylan Szumiagala, Logan Youngberg, Jeff Van Vlack, Ryan Forbes and junior Jackson Egan. Newcomers to the varsity include senior Chris Sheldon, juniors Derek

Catalano, Andrew Deszcz, Tyler Spears and sophomore Kalvin Stanbro. There is no doubt that Jackson has the Hornets pointed in the right direction. They are now putting together a string of winning seasons at one of the smallest schools in Western New York. However, like the movie “Hoosiers”, it only takes five players to win a game. At Forestville, Jackson will have more than five players that will contribute each night.

High honors for Alfred students

COMMERCIAL TEAM — from left, Christopher Marron, of Greece; Thomas Parmenter, of Pavilion; James Hammond, of Collins; Shawn Lorraine, of Irondequoit; Ryan Ortiz, of Brockport; and Justin Skretny, of Delevan. They are all construction management engineering technology majors. This year, 16 schools and more than 220 bright minds vied for placement, and Alfred State students walked away with honors in two categories — a second place in designbuild, and a third place in commercial building. “Our students made an im-

students excel at those types of challenges.” Alfred State students traveled to Morristown, NJ, for the two-day event from Nov. 14-15, with teams entering each of the competition categories: designbuild, heavy/civil construction, and commercial building. Design-build teams had to create a plan for a college athletic center, commercial building squads were tasked with renovating a hospital, and heavy/ civil construction teams had to devise methods for rebuilding two railroad bridges. On the first day, teams were provided with actual contract documents and given 15 hours to create a cost estimate, construction schedule, site-specific safety plan, logistical plan for using the site, and a strategy to execute the project. The following day, each team gave a 30-minute oral presentation to the judges, describing their proposal and why they were the best team to build the project. Teams were then judged on the quality of both their proposal and their oral presentation. Although the competition was fierce, students who attended had an unprecedented opportunity to network with their peers and potential future employers.

Making Christmas brighter for kids Post Office still tweaking branches By Holly Lawton

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

Through the combined efforts of the Gowanda Lions Club and the Gowanda Police Department, over 200 area children, who might have gone without otherwise, will have new toys this Christmas. The endeavor, called Holiday Helping Hands, will aid nearly 90 families this year, providing food and toys. The committee was headed up by Sandy Gaylord and Peg Luther from the Lions and Earl Farina from the police department. Gaylord said Gowanda Police Department Officer-in-Charge Steve Raiport provided much assistance as well. Both organizations have held separate drives for many years, but they are now teaming up. According to Gaylord, another new aspect is that this year parents will be able to “shop,� choosing toys for their children from those that have been donated. In the past,

By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

“In 2011 The United States Postal Service put some 3,700 branch locations on a list of sites to be closed. However, it received a big push back from customers and issued a new plan in 2012 to modify the list, choosing instead to PHOTO BY HOLLY LAWTON restrict hours of operation at those locations depending HOLIDAY HELPING HANDS – Boxes of toys collected by the employees on traffic.� That historical summary comes from Karen at Gowanda Rehabilitation and Nursing Center will be distributed by Holiday Helping Hands.

Locally, carriers providing street delivery in Collins and Dayton begin their routes from the Gowanda Post Office. North Collins and Lawtons addresses receive their mail from the Eden Post Office. While normal delivery is not affected, certain situations may be encountered. For example, a piece of mail requiring a signature for a Lawtons resident will be held at the Eden Post Office.

she said. And while hours may be reduced at a local office, when open, “The type of retail services offered should not be different from one Post Office to another,� emphasized Mazurkiewicz. Among the last to adjust hours locally are the Dayton and Otto Post offices. Beginning Jan. 10 they will be open for retail business from 3 to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. That's a reduction for Dayton from its current 9 a.m. - noon and 1:15 - 5 p.m. schedule. Otto changes from 9 - 11 a.m. and noon - 5 p.m. And while the hours are much restricted, access to post office boxes will remain 24 hours. Mazurkiewicz said there are no other pending changes for area branches at this time. A list provided by Mazurkiewicz shows local branch business hours are: Brant. Collins Center, Lawtons and Versailles Post Offices are open from 1 to 5 p.m. ; Cattaraugus, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 - 5 p.m. Cherry Creek, 8:15 - 11:15 a.m. and 1:45 - 5 p.m.; Collins, 9 - 11 a.m. and noon - 5 p.m.: East Otto, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.; Forestville, 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 2 - 4:30 p.m.; Gowanda, 9 - 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 - 4:30 p.m.; North Collins, 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 - 5 p.m.; Perrysburg, 8 - 11 a.m. and 2 - 5 p.m.; South Dayton, 9 a.m. - noon and 2 - 4:30 p.m. Makurkiewicz concluded by saying, “The only services not offered at every Post Office are passport acceptance and business mail (bulk) entry.�
