sis to exempt COVID-related layoffs from being used against small businesses in the calculation of unemployment insurance rates finally saw that issue addressed,” Borrello, R-Sunset Bay, said. The senator said GOP calls for small business relief contributed to the inclusion of approximately $1 billion in grants and tax credits in the state budget, which will aid the recovery.
While state Sen. George Borrello was disappointed that Democrats never considered revoking the governor’s pandemic emergency powers before the end of the 2021 legislative session this past Friday, he did point to some wins in the session. “After the devastation that our small businesses experienced during the pandemic and our state-imposed lockdown, those of us who Borrello continued on ............... page 5 fought throughout the cri-

game was called early under the 10-run rule at that point. John Smuda had 3RBIs and scored three runs for Gowanda. Gavin Phillips added two triples and three runs to the effort. The Gowanda Varsity girls softball team hosted Fredonia June 7. After giving up five runs to Fredonia in the 1st inning, Cameron Nagel singled for Gowanda. Zoey Kota followed that with a double that brought Nagel home. Kota, in turn, scored on an Abby Valone single. The attack then stalled leaving the score 5-2 after one inning. Fredonia added a run in the 2nd inning and two more in the 4th. In that 4th inning, Hailey Fort singled for Gowanda. She later scored on an Ella Luther single. That brought the score to 8-3. It stayed that way into the 7th inning when Fredonia upped their total to nine. In the bottom of the inning, Lily Bobseine led off with a double. Another Cameron Nagel single allowed Bobseine to score, but that all that Gowanda could manage. The final score was 9-4 in favor of Fredonia. On June 8, the team hosted Forestville. Gowanda opened the scoring with a single run and the score remained 1-0 through the 2nd inning. In the 3rd, on one out, Addison Kota got things going for Gowanda
The Gowanda Panthers Varsity baseball team opened their week June 8 hosting Dunkirk. Gowanda opened up an early 1-0 first inning lead with a John Ondus RBI triple. Dunkirk came right back in the 2nd, scoring three times. It was Gowanda’s turn again in a 3rd inning that saw six Panthers walked. They scored a total of four runs in the inning to bring the score to 5-3. Dunkirk owned the 4th inning pulling ahead 6-5. That score held until the bottom of the 6th inning when a single Panthers run would tie the score at 6 going into the final inning. Gowanda was only able to counter one of two Dunkirk runs in the inning falling short 8-7. On June 9, the team hosted Randolph at Panther Park. Gowanda used a 5-0 first inning to take control of the game. Randolph closed the gap to 6-2 in the next inning. The game remained scoreless from that point as Gowanda emerged with a win. Gowanda raised their CCAA record to 5-1 with a win at Brocton on June 11. Scoring all of their 14 runs in the opening inning, Gowanda shut out Brocton for a 14-0 final. John Ondus recorded nine strikeouts in four innings pitched. Blake Herman added two strikeouts in the 5th inning for a combined no-hitter. The Sports Report continued on ..... page 4

Six Erie County programs, initiatives receive national achievement awards BUFFALO— Six Erie County programs and initiatives have been recognized by the National Association of Counties (“NACo”) with 2021 Achievement Awards, presented to counties and state associations nationwide in recognition of innovative county government programs across eighteen categories that strengthen services for residents. Included among the awards is a 2021 Achievement Award for the county’s “Erie Grown” program in the category of Community and Economic Development; Erie Grown’s exceptional results and unique program innovations also earned it the honor of “Best in Category.” “Being honored by NACo with six 2021 Achievement Awards is tremendous recognition of the hard work
that Erie County employees do to provide services and programs to the public, even during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “These awards span numerous categories, each a good example of how Erie County supports residents and brings people together, and receiving ‘Best in Category’ recognition for our new Erie Grown initiative is a big honor for the Erie County Office of Agriculture team and I thank them, and all of our award-winning teams, for their work.” Agriculture and agriculture-related businesses in Erie County and across the region have been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. Disruption of supply chains, loss of institutional food service customers, closure of restaurants, lack of avail-
able seasonal farm labor, and low milk/commodity prices have all combined to wreak havoc on farmers and growers’ ability to earn a living providing healthy food to the community. Erie County Executive Mark C Poloncarz created the Office of Agriculture in 2020 to address the loss of farmland, improve the viability of farming, and assist rural municipalities with planning for agriculture. In order to facilitate this objective, the Office of Agriculture created the Erie Grown website to promote locally grown and in-season produce as well as maple syrup, honey, and agritourism activities. The goal is to better connect consumers to farmers, farmers markets, and local foods by linking available goods with those who would like to buy them. Erie County also received
a 2021 Achievement Award for its “RSI COVID-19 Shelter in Erie County, NY” program in the category of Human Services, along with: a 2021 Achievement Award for the “Erie County NY Opiate Epidemic Task Force” program in the category of Health; a 2021 Achievement Award for the “Erie County NY Virtual Learning Support Centers” program in the category of Children and Youth; a 2021 Achievement Award for the “Erie County NY SNAP On-Demand Call Center” program in the category of County Administration and Management; and, a 2021 Achievement Award for the “Erie County NY Cultural Funding Program” in the category of Arts, Culture and Historic

716-472-3861 Preservation. Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein said, “Recognition for good work done is always appreciated and underscores the importance and value of what we are doing here in Erie County. To receive awards for both the COVID-19 shelter program and the Opiate Epidemic Task Force shows that we have been proactive and successful in protecting public health against two of the biggest issues we have faced. We will continue to actively identify and pursue programs and initiatives that keep our residents safe.” “When the pandemic hit, we immediately understood that we would need to change the way we deliver
services in order to reach residents who were now in more critical need than ever. This meant streamlining access to important programs like SNAP and also finding ways to help children and families navigate an academic environment that was changing due to COVID-19 restrictions,” added Marie A. Cannon, Commissioner of Social Services. “Erie County was the only county in New York to fund Virtual Learning Support Centers, bringing vital aid to parents of schoolaged children who needed safe, staffed non-school venues for their children to continue their education. The VLSCs were a big success and the credit goes to the great team that worked to make them a reality.”
Wedded Bliss in Times Like This (Family Features) During pre-COVID times, wedding concerns like venue capacity had far more to do with budget and vision than with the health and safety of guests. It’s a different world today, but with some careful planning you can still find ways to safely celebrate your love. As the vows say, marriage is in good times and in bad. It may simply require some flexibility and creativity to make your dream day a reality. Enlist help from an experienced coordinator. If you weren’t planning to use a wedding coordinator, the pandemic is a compelling reason to reconsider. Keeping track of changing mandates and how they affect gatherings, crowd sizes and more is a job in its own right. Allowing your coordinator to keep tabs on the latest recommendations, and adjust arrangements with your vendors accordingly, may save a great deal of time and
frustration. Be realistic about your invite list. A year ago, it would have been unthinkable to create a tiered guest list and even consider making cuts even after invites go out. Today, that decision may be out of your hands. Rather than waiting until you get news that you’ll have to make cuts, take time now, with a level head and less emotion affecting your decisions, to segment your list. Determine who absolutely must be present as you exchange vows then expand in increments. Your coordinator or venue contact can help you determine thresholds (e.g., 25, 50 or 100 guests) based on the guidelines in your community. Understand expectations. Vendors are required to enforce local guidelines, so ensure you’re clear on what measures they will implement on your day. This may include everything from masks and distancing
to whether you’re allowed to use a dance floor during the reception. Keep guests informed. If you haven’t already, create a blog or send out regular updates about wedding plans to guests. If circumstances require you to uninvite someone, be conscious of timing and give plenty of notice so travel can be canceled, if necessary. As the event approaches, be clear about expectations so guests can arrive prepared or bow out if they’re not comfortable with what you’re planning. Make safety convenient. Providing masks, gloves and sanitizer can all go a long way to help make guests feel more secure at your event. A personalized hand sanitizer holder might even be a practical gift that guests can use and think fondly of your wedding day. Forego traditions, for now. The pandemic won’t last forever, but while it’s
Photo courtesy of Getty Images still here, consider skipping high-contact traditions like photos that bring multiple households together or a receiving line where everyone is in close contact. One alternative is to plan a mini-wedding (or even elope) now, and save the bigger celebration for later, when everyone can honor your marriage more safely.

Sports Report continued from 1 with a double. After a second out, Zoey Kota, Abby Valone and Hailey Fort hit consecutive RBI doubles. Gao:wisa:s Stevens followed with a single that brought Fort home and moved the score to 5-0. Addison Kota scored again in the 4th. Gowanda added two more runs in the 5th and one in the 6th as they went on to shut out Forestville 9-0. Addison Kota, Cameron Nagel and Hailey Fort each scored two runs in the game. Nagel and Fort each also had an RBI. Zoey Kota scored one run and was credited with 3 RBIs. The Gowanda girls closed out their week hosting Randolph on June 10. Randolph opened up with two 1st inning runs before retiring the first three Gowanda batters in order. In the 3rd inning, Randolph upped their total to 5 with bases loaded prompting Gowanda to make a pitching change. Two more runs would score on fielding errors before the 3rd out was secured. They would be shut out from that point as Gowanda mounted a comeback. In the bottom of the 3rd, Addison Kota, Gao:wisa:s Steven and Zoey Kota all scored for Gowanda. Zoey Kota and Hailey Fort both had double RBIs in the inning. The score tightened to 7-5 in the 4th inning. After a scoreless 5th inning, Lily Bobseine hit a double for Gowanda. After stealing 3rd, she scored on a passed ball. Gao:wisa:s Stevens also hit a double and would later score on a Zoey Kota double. That tied the score at 7 going into the final inning. After retiring the 1st three Randolph batters in order, the 1st Gowanda batter would strikeout. Then Ella
Luther hit a double. After stealing 3rd base, she scored the winning run on a Kailyn Farner grounder hit right up the middle. That gave Gowanda their only lead of the game and an 8-7 win. The Gowanda Varsity boys lacrosse team traveled to Depew on Monday, June 7. Depew piled up a massive 18-1 lead by halftime and never looked back. They added five more in the second half bringing the final score to 23-1. Winter Rivera scored the lone Gowanda goal. Things got a lot better as the team hosted Medina June 9. The game proceeded scoreless for half of the 1st quarter when a light rain started to fall. As the rain turned into a downpour, both teams scored once. With two minutes left in the 1st quarter, a half-hour lightning delay went into effect. The teams had just started back onto the field when a second pause was called. After the 2nd half-hour, play resumed under mostly clear skies. With 11 seconds left in the quarter, Croix Snow put Gowanda ahead 2-1. Gowanda extended their lead to 6-4 in the first five minutes of the second period. Medina fought back eventually taking a 7-6 lead with 1:35 left in the half. Just over six minutes into the 3rd quarter, the Medina lead was 12-8. Goals by Gowanda’s Winter Rivera with 1:04 left in the quarter and by Kayden Isaac with 0:04 left closed the gap to 13-11. Midway through the final quarter, Isaac scored to tie the game at 14. just over a minute later, he scored the go-ahead goal for Gowanda. With just over a minute left, Trelin Warrior sealed the victory for Gowanda taking the score to 16-14. June 11 was Senior Night for both Gowanda lacrosse teams. The boys hosted Tonawanda. Before the game, senior class members Mayson Browning, Dom DiRienzo, Kayden Isaac, Rowan Mentley-Peters, Kirk Mohawk, Nolan Smith and Little Bear Stevens were recognized along with their parents for their career contributions to
the team. The game itself was one-sided. Gowanda took an early 4-0 lead. That stood at 6-1 by the end of the 1st quarter. It was 16-1 at halftime. Three minutes into the 4th quarter, the lead had become 20-1. Tonawanda scored three times in the final eight minutes of the game leaving the final score 204. The Gowanda Varsity girls lacrosse team was at Clarence on June 7. In a very close contest, Gowanda held a 6-5 lead at halftime.

Borrello continued from 1 Borrello also expressed pride in helping to lead a bipartisan effort to make the farm-to-food-bank effort Nourish NY a permanently funded state program. Nourish NY provided relief to more than 4,000 farmers, whose markets were disrupted by COVID-19, and helped 1.3 million New Yorkers get more food over the past year. He said sponsors of the legislation continue to advocate to get the legislation signed into law as soon as possible. Last week also saw key progress on one of Borrello’s top priorities with the passage of legislation he cosponsored that will end the practice of utilities unfairly requiring broadband providers to fund pole replacements as a condition of gaining access to the poles to install internet service. With the typical pole costing between $15,000 and $20,000, the measure has the potential to save small and mid-size broadband providers tens of millions of dollars, making it more feasible for them to invest in costly rural broadband to benefit New Yorkers. But Borrello was unhappy that the 2021 session ended with Gov. Andrew Cuomo wielding the some pandemic powers he’s had for nearly a year and a half, even as COVID-19’s grip win the New York is less and less. “No less than 47 times did Senate Republicans advance amendments to repeal (Cuomo’s) authority,” Borrello said. “Each and every time these attempts were rejected by Senate Democrats. They also sat on a resolution I advanced to end the state of emergency, voting instead to continue abdicating their constitutional duty.” While the governor’s pandemic power was more easily justified in March 2020, Borrello it is “impossible to defend” today, with
positivity rates at their lowest, nearly 70% of New Yorkers vaccinated and multiple scandals surrounding the governor. “The cloud of corruption over the governor and the other party’s unwillingness to confront it by using their subpoena power and fully stripping him of his emergency authority, should concern everyone who believes in the importance of honest and accountable government,” the senator said. Borrello said Cuomo’s compromised negotiating position “had consequences,” arguing that the $212 billion budget contained “a crushing and ill-advised” $4.3 billion in new taxes. The final deal struck to legalize recreational marijuana was reached with, “what the New York Times described as a ‘torrent of concessions’ by the governor,” Borrello said. Despite Cuomo hinting at the need for stronger crime measures in his State of the State address, Borrello said such proposals never surfaced, while recently passed legislation will end the practice of reincarcerating most parole violators. The Democratic-led Legislature passed several criminal justice bills last week, including the bill making it harder to incarcerate people for minor parole violations. New York would raise the age of children who can be arrested and prosecuted to 12, up from age 7, and the state could try to sue gun manufacturers in the wake of gun violence under another bill. Federal law shields gun manufacturers from liability, but supporters of New York’s law hope it will allow some lawsuits to succeed despite federal restrictions. Lawmakers also passed bills to speed up counting of absentee ballots and set up an online tracking portal for voters to track their absentee ballots following delays, lawsuits and mistakes by election boards. In other legislation, New Yorkers could designate their sex as “female,” “male” or “X” under another bill that passed both chambers.
