Gowanda Sports Report By Bill Peglowski It was quite an interesting week in Gowanda high school sports. There were three competitions involving Gowanda students: a virtual swim meet plus season opening home and away bowling matches. The Eden-Gowanda boys swimming team opened the week on Feb. 1 with a virtual swim meet against Depew. While no final score or official win/lose report on the meet has been made, the results and scoring for the individual events have been posted. Adding up those points shows a total of 94 for Eden-Gowanda and 66 for Depew. Eden-Gowanda swimmers took all but four events. Earning 1st place finishes for Depew were Nick Karnyski (100Y Freestyle) and Benjamin Wypij (100Y Breaststroke) along with
the Depew 200Y Freestyle and 400Y Freestyle Relay teams.The Eden-Gowanda boys swept the 500Y Freestyle with Cody Gemza, Hayden Kaus and Logan Gemza finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Cody Gemza also won the 200Y Freestyle event [2:19.53]. Christian Merrill took 1st place in two events: the 200Y Individual Medley [2:38.81] and the 100Y Backstroke [1:15.24]. Additional 1st place finishes for Eden-Gowanda were: Austin Timblin (50Y Freestyle) [25.11] and Paul Winiecki (100Y Butterfly) [1:14.90].

Valentine's Day facts and superstitions

Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts.
Gift Of The Word
• The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus.

Riles and Woolley Monuments “Loved Ones Never Forgotten” is a saying that has been passed on through generations, just as the idea of memorialization has been. Memorialization is an important part of not only our nation’s history but also every individual’s life. The way people want to be remembered is a personal choice and takes some consideration, let us assist you with these important decisions. Riles & Woolley Monuments is an innovative, full-time, full service monument company, which was started as a partnership between Warren Riles & Mark Woolley in April of 1989. Sadly, Warren Riles
passed in March of 2020. Mark Woolley is a member of the Monument Builders of North America and the New England Monument Dealers Association. Riles & Woolley Monumant have a spacious indoor/outdoor display of over 50 different memorials with different shapes, sizes and colors of granite. Some of the reasons to consider this company: 1) They have the area’s largest computerized design room, allowing us to combine modern technology with age old techniques to create customized memorials. 2) They give free quota-
tions and estimates. 3) They show prices on all of our memorials to ensureequal pricing for everyone! 4) They accept major credit cards for purchases. 5) They have completed memorials for many organizations, including the monument “In Memory of the Unborn” In St. Mary’s Cemetery, Dunkirk. In the fall of 1998 Riles & Woolley completed a large expansion to their facility to be able to better accommodate their monument production. They are located at 39 Main Street, Forestville.
