Gowanda Sports Report

Bear harvest in 2020

0, Eden put together their own nine-play scoring drive.

They fi nally scored on a 1-yard run that had been set up with a 26-yard passing play. A er a successful extra point kick the score was 12-7.

Springville came right back with a 5-play scoring drive. They would score from the one a er a 24-yard run fell just short of the goal.

That score came in the early minutes of the second quarter. Another missed try for extra points le the score at 18-7. Eden scored again in the next series. A er 11 plays they were on the Springville 43. From there, they completed a touchdown pass.

Adding the point a er, the score had closed to 18-14 with 6:14 to play in the half.

Three plays into the next Springville drive, an intercepted pass gave the ball back to Eden. Four plays later, they turned the ball back to Springville on downs.

Eden got the ball right back as they recovered a muffed snap on a 2nd and 10 play. It took Eden just three plays to score with a touchdown pass. They would miss the extra point, but had taken the lead 20-18 with 1:21 le in the half. The next kickoff went all the way into the end zone giving Springville a drive start from the 20. They

With Gowanda sports teams idle during the Easter break, the game of interest for Panthers fans was the April 9 contest between Eden and Springville. Gowanda opened its season with a 28-0 loss at Eden and will be at Springville April 16.

In this week’s game, Springville had the ball fi rst starting on their own 29.

A er a motion penalty set them back on the fi rst play of the game, they gradually worked their way to the 46 with a series of short runs.

Then, runs of 30 yards, 22 yards, 9 yards and 10 yards set them up for a fi nal touchdown run from the 5. The holder on the extra point had trouble handling an off-target snap leaving Springville up 6-0 a er the fi rst series.

Eden started their fi rst series on their own 15. A er picking up just five yards on three straight passing attempts, they punted the ball back to Springville. A nineplay drive took Springville to the Eden 17 where a lost fumble ended the drive. On the next play, an Eden pass was intercepted and returned for a second Springville touchdown. This time they would fake the extra point kick and try to pass for extra points.

Once again, they came up empty. With 4:25 le in the Sports continued on ................ page 3 fi rst quarter and down 12-

Gowanda Mural Project continues in second summer

BY BILL PEGLOWSKI GOWANDA — The week a er Easter saw the Gowanda Mural Project’s fi rst mini-murals of 2021 underway. A er one year, the Gowanda Mural Project has quickly become one of the community’s most popular cultural activities.

What started as a simple artistic beautification project has quickly captured the hearts and minds of the community.

The Mural Project core

owned by Gabel Brothers Furniture, is occupied by Tammy’s Unique Boutique.

In five separate paintings, the images of Bear, Snipe, Deer, Wolf, Beaver, Hawk, Turtle and Heron are displayed.The artwork was designed by Gowanda art teacher Heather Rydzik.

In addition to Rydzik, the project credited Jeff rey Snyder, Jessica Mitchell, Cassie Geiger, Daniel Smith, Ca-

group has been flooded with so many requests from individuals offering their buildings for future murals that the waiting list is currently several years long.

The fi rst project for 2021 is a group of mini-murals depicting the eight clans of the Seneca Nation. Boarded over windows in the back wall of the West Main Street business block just west of the Hollywood Theater became the canvas for this initial work. The building,

Hunters in Ca¡ araugus County shot 47 black bears in 2020, five fewer than the year before, according to a state Department of Environmental Conservation report.

Twenty-eight of the bears killed in Ca¡ araugus County were shot with a shotgun, while there were 19 successful bowhunters.

The towns of Great Valley and Coldspring took top honors with six bears shot in each town in 2020.

Hunters shot five bears each in Allegany and Napoli. There were threebears shot in Hinsdale and South Valley and two bears each in Ashford, East O¡o and Yorkshire.

There was one bear killed in Carrollton,Conewango, Ellico¡ ville, Humphrey, Leon, Machias, Olean, O¡o,Perrysburg, Portville and Randolph.

By comparison, in 2019, of the 52 bears harvested by hunters in Ca¡ araugus County, 34 were taken by shotgun hunters and 18 by bowhunters.

Auto The importance of being seen on the road (MS) — As they spend more and more time in their vehicles, drivers tend to grow more comfortable behind the wheel. As a result, drivers may be inclined to take certain things, including how visible they are to approaching motorists, for granted.

When drivers think of their vehicle lights, they tend to be most concerned with how those lights impact how they can see the road ahead of them at night.

Clearly lit roadways vastly improve driver safety, and the right headlights can go a long way toward illuminating even the darkest of roads. But drivers also must take the necessary steps to ensure they’re easily seen by fellow motorists.

• Routinely inspect all vehicle lights. Headlights can make vehicles more visible

to oncoming traffic, but it’s important that drivers routinely inspect brake lights, taillights and signal lights as well. Such inspections can ensure that vehicles behind and alongside drivers’ own cars and trucks can see them as they brake or a empt to change lanes.

• Upgrade to LED lights.

Even lights that are work-

ing properly can be a serious safety hazard. That’s because the standard incandescent lights found in many vehicles do a poor job of effectively illuminating vehicles when drivers apply the brakes or put their turn signals on. Lights that fail to immediately alert fellow

Two plays later, a 16-yard run gave them a 1st and goal from the 6. Another high snap set Springville back to 2nd and goal from the 28. After a 3rd down holding penalty was declined, they had a 4th down on the 21. The 4th down pass was intercepted

Home 5 outdoor projects that add value Exterior renovations can enhance the appearance of a property and make it more enjoyable for homeowners. Certain renovations have the potential to add value to a home, while others may do the opposite. Learning which one have the largest return on investment can help homeowners select features that will have the most positive impact.

Curb appeal goes a long way toward attracting potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, first impressions of a property have a strong influence on buyers.

Landscaping and external features can do much to influence such impressions. .

• Lawn care program: Investing in a lawn care program that consists of fertilizer and weed control application and can be transferred over to a subsequent home owner is an attractive feature. NAR says such a care program can recover $1,000 in value of the $330 average cost, or a 303 percent ROI. • Low-maintenance lifestyle: When choosing materials for projects, those that offer low-maintenance benefits can be preferential. These include low-maintenance patio materials, composite decking, vinyl fencing, and inorganic mulched beds.

• Fire pit: A fire pit can be used for much of the year. In the spring and summer, the firepit is a great place to congregate to roast marshmallows or sip wine and gaze into the fire.

In the fall, the fire pit can make for a cozy retreat. A fire pit that has a gas burner is low-maintenance, and the National Association of Landscape Profession-

• Softscaping: Hardscaping refers to structures like outdoor kitchens or decks.

Softscaping involves the living elements of the landscape. Hiring a landscape designer to install trees, shrubs, natural edging, and rock elements can do wonders toward improving the look and value of a home.

• Pool or water feature: In certain markets, particularly hot climates, a pool or another water feature is a must-have. However, in other areas where outdoor time is limited, a pool or water feature can actually lower the value of a home.

Speaking with a real estate professional can give homeowners an idea of how a pool will fare in a given neighborhood.

Outdoor improvements can improve the marketability of a home, as well as enhance its appearance and function.

A lesson in building a backyard retaining wall Flat, even landscapes are o en coveted in backyards.

However, flat backyards are not always so easy to fi nd.

Fortunately, varied terrain does not mean that certain landscaping plans are entirely off limits, especially for homeowners willing to build retaining walls.

Retaining walls help turn steep slopes in a yard into terraced focal points.

They also can reduce soil erosion in hilly areas and can be used for aesthetic purposes, like raised planters, or to create more usable space within the yard. When an inground pool or pond is cut into a backyard hill, a retaining wall helps keep the remaining portion of that

hill from collapsing into the cut-away area.

When contemplating retaining wall projects, a lesson in physics and engineering may be needed. A sturdy and long-lasting retaining wall needs to be built in a way that will take into consideration the force of the soil and the point at which the soil will begin to slide away, advises the experts at The Family Handyman. If these calculations seem beyond the scope of your ability, installation of a retaining wall is a job best le to a professional. If you are ready to forge ahead, these tips can

Mural continued from 1 sey Irish and Jesse’s Home & Gi s for their help in preparing the surfaces and/or painting the murals.

This project was done April 7 on one of the project’s Community Paint Days where a call is generally put out for interested community members to come out and work on a specific project.

On other occasions, specific artists may be enlisted for specific projects.

A number of projects have already been outlined for 2021, including: March through August: Hollywood Mural Project. A tribute to the role the Hollywood Theater has played in Gowan-

da’s history. The mural is to be done on the east-facing wall of the old loan building on West Main Street in Gowanda. That building is next to the theater and across an open area from the Gowanda Pharmacy. Over the past several weeks, the mural project crew has been accepting suggestions from the community as to the specific images to include in the mural. April and May: Municipal Parking lot mini window murals, Seneca clan murals. May: Complete Aldrich Street Bridge murals August through October: Honk’s Grape & Grain mural on Jamestown Street in Gowanda Ongoing throughout the year: Library murals Information about the Gowanda Mural Project can be found on their Facebook page.

Home get you started. However, it’s important to note the potential benefits of working with others who have already built a retaining wall.

• Safety fi rst: Call to have underground utilities plotted and marked before beginning any excavation.

• Map out your trench and begin to dig. The trench should have a level, compacted base as it will be the foundation for which the retaining wall materials, be they blocks, bricks or wood, sit in. A crushed stone base will help anchor the courses and serve to promote drainage.

The Family Handyman says to bury the fi rst course of the retaining wall one-tenth the height of the wall to prevent soil behind it from pushing the bo­om out.

• Check for level. When placing blocks or timbers, make sure they are even with the fi rst and periodically check for level as you go, advises the home improvement retailer Lowes®.

• Stagger and set back.

The next row of blocks or material should be positioned so that the joints are staggered for blocks, bricks or wood. A masonry blade will be needed to cut the harder materials; a circular saw will cut timber. Also, work against gravity by setting the second course slightly back from the fi rst to help push back against the soil that is trying so hard to push forward. Repeat the process as each level is placed. Many retaining wall products are made with a lip to create this

set back.

• Go with the grade. For especially steep slopes, a gradual step-up design may be more secure and more appealing than a very tall retaining wall. Each level of a stepped design should be done like the fi rst.

• Backfi ll with stone for drainage. Using a layer of stone behind the retaining

wall can help successfully direct water away so it will not increase the weight of the soil behind the wall and push against the retaining wall, advises The Home Depot.

Retaining walls serve different purposes in a yard.

Building such a wall requires planning and careful execution to ensure the job is done correctly.

motorists that drivers have applied the brakes or are making a turn can contribute to accidents, especially when vehicles are moving at high speeds.

The new LED lighting technology, which is used in Philips Ultinon LEDs, makes the lights much brighter and more visible than standard incandescent lights, delivering more dynamic lighting for both exterior and interior vehicle applications.

Designed as direct replacements for brake and taillights, signal lamps, back up lights, running lights and side markers, Ultinon LEDs turn on instantly and can reduce braking distance by up to 20 feet at speeds as high as 75 miles per hour. That superior, more immediate light output ensures vehicles are seen more quickly when drivers are turning or applying the brakes. And because their advanced design makes them highly resistant

to extreme heat, vibration and other potentially harmful environmental conditions, Ultinon LEDs can provide drivers with the peace of mind that their lights will last longer than standard incandescent lights without exhibiting diminished performance.

Lumileds, the exclusive supplier of Philips automotive light products, offers a full range of Ultinon LEDs and has also developed a convenient online Bulb Look Up that helps drivers identify the right LED for their particular vehicles. The Bulb Look Up, available at www. ph i l ipsautol ight i ng.com, even tells them where they can buy the LEDs. • Drive defensively, especially at night. A 2016 analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System found that more than 40 percent of all

Randolph Auto Supply

motor vehicle crash deaths in the United States in 2014 occurred between the hours of 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. It’s no coincidence that automotive fatalities spike during nighttime hours, when drivers’ vision is naturally diminished and darkened roadways make it harder to see fellow motorists. When driving during twilight hours and a er the sun goes down, drivers can make a concerted effort to drive defensively.

Make sure brakes are applied early enough so other drivers have ample time to react,

and fl ip turn signals on long before making turns. In addition, leave more room between your own vehicle and those of fellow motorists, which can protect you and your passengers from drivers whose vehicles are still employing outdated lights.

When driving at night, drivers must remember that seeing and being seen makes for much safer roads. More information about vehicle lighting technology is available at www.philipsautolighting.com.

MAIL DELIVERY

BY MULE IN THE UNITED STATES

Yes, in the remote location of Supai, Arizona, people still get their mail by mule. The village, part of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, is located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so the main way to reach its residents is on foot (human or animal). In fact, the only other option is a helicopter. Thus, six days a week, a string of mules led by a wrangler on horseback makes the trip down the canyon to deliver mail and other supplies.
