Gowanda Sports Report

CCE Welcomes New Master Gardener Volunteer Program Coordinator BY EMILY REYNOLDS AND DICK RIVERS

BY BILL PEGLOWSKI

GOWANDA, NY — The Gowanda Varsity boys basketball team played Portville on Jan. 10. Portville opened up the scoring from long distance and soon had a 5-0 lead, stretching that to 10-2 before Quentin Centner landed a 3-point shot that started a 10-point run for Gowanda. That ended with a John Ondus 3-pointer with 9 seconds left in the quarter to put Gowanda up 12-10. Ondus opened the second quarter with another three points stretching the lead to five. Portville soon tied the game at 15. Gowanda had one more lead at 18-17 before Portville moved back ahead. A 3-point score followed by a field goal with 17 seconds to go in the half gave them a 22-18 advantage at the intermission. With Portville up 37-25 in quarter three, Ondus added three points with 26 seconds to go and two more with 5 seconds left in the quarter to shrink the Portville lead to seven. Then, at the buzzer, Portville launched a Hail Mary shot from a few feet beyond mid-court. As that shot swished through the hoop, the quarter ended at 40-30. Portville then held on through the final quarter for a 59-45 win. Ondus totaled 23 points in the game for Gowanda, including hitting six times from 3-point territory. Quentin Centner added 10 points as Gowanda’s only other player in double digits. On Jan. 15, the boys hosted Maple Grove for a game originally scheduled for Sports Report continued on ... page 3

We love the quirky personalities of our animals and have learned so much as their caretakers. Each day is an adventure and always something new! My family and I are in the process of relocating to Ashville, NY from Amherst, NY, a suburb right outside of Buffalo. We purchased a small fixer-upper farm where we plan to expand and grow organic vegetables and cut flowers. In my free time, I enjoy speaking to our community about the importance of honeybees and advocating for environmental and land stewardship. On any given day, you can catch me bottle feeding an orphaned piglet, nursing a sick chicken back to health or caring for new ducks in my living room! There is always something to do or someone in need, and I would not want it any other way.

JAMESTOWN,N.Y. — Cornell Cooperative Extension of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties have partnered together to bolster the Master Gardener Volunteer program in each of our counties. While the program in Chautauqua has been successful for several years now, it lacked the dedicated staff support that it deserves. Cattaraugus is currently redeveloping a Master Gardener Volunteer Program. “The Partnership just made sense” remarked Dick Rivers and Emily Reynolds, Executive Directors. “Partnerships like this help Cornell Cooperative Extension meet the needs of the residents of our counties.” CCE is very excited to welcome Shannon Rinow as Program Coordinator. She has provided a brief biography to introduce herself. “My name is Shannon Rinow, and I am so excited to begin this new adventure as your new Master Gardener Volunteer Program Coordinator for Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties! Since I was a young girl, gardening and agriculture have been a passion of mine. I recall helping tie posts at my grandparent’s grape farm at a young age and harvesting vegetables and flowers from their home garden. I have had my own garden for the past decade, and each summer as the sweet smell of

Jan. 13. John Smuda opened the scoring for Gowanda with a 3-pointer. A 5-2 Gowanda lead would give way to an 11-5 advantage for Maple Grove. Maple Grove would take that to 19-7 before Gowanda closed the gap to 19-12. A long-range score with 5 seconds left would give Maple Grove a 22-12 lead after one quarter. Maple Grove opened quarter two with nine unanswered points before Gowanda scored again. Down 40-17, Gowanda started to close the gap outscoring Maple Grove 8-2 to a 42-24 halftime. Unable to keep pace with Maple Grove in the second half, the third quarter ended at 61-37 heading towards a final score of 77-45. Cole Herman and Smuda each had 11 points for Gowanda to lead the team with Ondus adding nine points. The Gowanda Varsity girls basketball team was at Maple Gove on Jan. 11. In a slow opening quarter, Gowanda took an early 4-0 lead. Maple Grove managed to tie the score at 4 with 2:50 showing on the clock. That score was unchanged until a Maple Grove 3-pointer put them up 7-4 with 15 seconds left in the first quarter. After three scoreless minutes in quarter two, Maple Grove hit from long range again. They eventually stretched their lead to 19-7 on the way to a 22-11 halftime score. While Maple Grove owned the third quarter and Gowanda the fourth, both teams added a total of

Area ski resorts having a good ski season so far ELLICOTTVILLE — The slopes at Holiday Valley Resort and HoliMont Ski Area are shaping up as the weather begins to bring colder temperatures and snow. Both resorts continue to make snow when the conditions are right. Holiday Valley opened Dec. 3 as planned, said marketing director Jane Eshbaugh, and people are anxious to get back out on the slopes. She said Mother Nature has been a li¦ le stingy with the snow this year, so far, so the resort has been relying on man-made snow for skiing. According to the forecast, colder temperatures should provide area ski resorts with some excellent snowmaking opportunities. As of Jan. 11, Holiday Valley was reporting an average base-depth of 8 to 36 inches and growing with continued snowmaking. Twenty-two trails and eight li¨ s were open this week. Eshbaugh said the resort’s new state-of-the-art, high-speed detachable quad chairli¨ on Yodeler slope has been great and people love it. Eshbaugh said having the Canadians back has made a big impact at Holiday Valley, HoliMont and in the village, but they have started to return slowly because of the testing requirements, along with uncertainty about the border and COVID. “Overall, COVID is not making a big impact on activities at the resort, but it’s making a small impact on indoor food and beverage,” she said. Eshbaugh is optimistic about what’s ahead in the ski season this year, as far as maintaining the snow-base and the numbers of skiers coming to Holiday Valley. “We hope for big lake effect snowstorms and extended temperatures in the teens to complete our snowmaking goals,” she said. For more information, call (716) 6993904 or visit online at holidayvalley.com. The season is shaping up at HoliMont as well. Jennah Bradley, sales and marketing

She can be reached at smr336@cornell. edu. The Master Gardener Volunteer Program is one of many programs offered by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County (CCE-Cattaraugus). CCE-Cattaraugus is a subordinate governmental agency with an educational mission that operates under a form of organization and administration approved by Cornell University as agent for the State of New York. It is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The association is part of the national cooperative extension system, an educational partnership between County, State, and Federal governments.

She said there weren’t as many as usual, but people still came to take part in their Christmas Camp and New Year’s Eve party. “Now that the snow is here, it looks like we are going to have a busy season this year,” she said. “Many members and guests are pumped to fi nally be back to enjoy the club.” According to Bradley, HoliMont currently has 12 slopes open and three li¨ s. The average base-depth is around 9 to 32 inches. She said they continue to make snow every day as long as the temperatures stay low. The new 650-foot conveyer belt in the beginner’s area at the bo¦om of Meadow slope has been a big hit with the kids. Although COVID restrictions are still having an impact on the activities at the resort, Bradley said they are keeping things “business as usual” as much as possible. All their regularly scheduled events are expected to happen this year. Bradley said more and more Canadian members have arrived at HoliMont, despite the hurdles they have endured these past two years. With their return, there has been a lot of optimism about what the upcoming season has to offer. HoliMont’s Trial Membership has been extremely successful. Bradley said people can sign up anytime throughout the year. “Many families are looking for an activity that is a good COVID-friendly alternative, and what be¦er way to spend time with the family than skiing at HoliMont,” she said.

New Date for Doors Open Jamestown is March 5 Unfortunately, the surge in COVID cases this month has made it impossible for many local attractions to participate in Doors Open Jamestown. As a result, the Jamestown Community Chamber of Commerce is postponing the event until March 5. The six-week delay is expected to provide the time needed for some of the smaller venues to more safely invite groups of guests. Some of the attractions will require pre-registration. A full list of participating attractions will be announced shortly. Doors Open Jamestown is an opportunity for local residents to be a tourist right here in our hometown as it offers a free day at local museums and attractions. After moving the event to an online only video montage last year, we have determined to hold it in-per-

son this year. Please save for our new text-to-win the new date: March 5, 2022 Doors Open Jamestown confrom 10am-4pm, and watch test for that day. for details to be announced

NY Office for Aging offers cold weather tips for seniors ALBANY, NY — With bitter cold temperatures arriving this winter season, New York State Office for the Aging director Greg Olsen reminds older adults, their caregivers and neighbors to take extra safety precautions and check in on one another.He also highlighted emergency assistance and other resources that are available to help ensure the safety of older adults, and all New Yorkers, during the winter months.”Winter has always been an important time to check in on family, loved ones, and neighbors to make sure they are safe,” Olsen said. “This kind of outreach is even more important now, during the pandemic, as older adults, persons with disabilities, and the chronically ill face even more extreme levels of social isolation that can make them especially vulnerable to winter safety risks at home.”Individuals facing a home-heating emergency may be eligible for assistance through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), which helps low-income people pay the cost of heating their homes. The emergency benefit is available for low-income older adults and other New Yorkers whose home heating is either shut off or scheduled to be shut off, as well as for individuals who are running out of home heating fuel or other deliverable heat sources.
