Gowanda Sports Report BY BILL PEGLOWSKI GOWANDA — The Gowanda Varsity baseball team hosted Allegany/Limestone on April 6. After taking a 3-0 lead in the first inning, Gowanda was up 9-1 after two. That lead expanded to 14-1 in the third inning followed by four scoreless innings. The 14-1 win puts Gowanda’s record at 3-0 through their first three games. April 7 saw Gowanda hosting a non-league baseball game with Hamburg. Gowanda started out strong with pitcher Gavin Phillips retiring the first three Hamburg batters in order, including two strikeouts.
In the bottom of the inning, Phillips led off at bat and was walked. He later scored as Blake Herman and John Ondus followed, both hitting doubles to deep center field. Hamburg got on the board with a pair of runs in the second inning, taking the score to 2-1. Both teams scored single runs in the third before John Smuda tied things up for Gowanda in the fourth inning. Gowanda only managed a Cole Herman single before three outs were tallied in the fifth inning. With the score at 3-3, both teams would double their production in the sixth inning. With a runner on second and with two outs, sloppy
outfield play on the wet field allowed Hamburg to score their three runs. In similar fashion, Gowanda had bases loaded with two outs when a Maddox Browning hit into deep center field resulted in a 3 RBI single. As a steady light rain began to fall in the final inning, Gowanda’s defense collapsed. Gowanda put a third pitcher on the mound to start the inning. The next three Hamburg batters all walked, loading the bases. At that point Gowanda switched to their fourth pitcher to salvage the inning. After giving up a 2 RBI double with the next batter, a third run scored on a sacrifice fly ball. With two outs Gowanda

would still give up another pair of runs before escaping the inning. In the bottom of the inning, Smuda led off for Gowanda. After the first baseman was unable to secure the throw to the plate, Smuda collided with the official at first base and fell to the turf. He was placed on second with a call of umpire interference. The next two Gowanda batters resulted in outs followed by two hitters who would be walked, loading the bases for Gowanda. After a Gowanda run was scored on a passed ball, the game ended on a fly out. Hamburg went away with an 11-7 win. Phillips, Herman and Smuda each had two runs for Gowanda. Drew Shull added a single run. — The Gowanda Varsity softball team hosted Wellsville on April 4. After the initial Wellsville batter was walked, Gowanda secured two outs, but not before the runner had worked her way to second and then to third base. An RBI single put Wellsville up 1-0. Gowanda could only manage a walk against three outs in the bottom of the inning. Gowanda’s only run was scored in the fourth inning by Gao:wisa:s Stevens who got on base via a walk. She scored on a Cameron Nagel double to right field. Scoring in every inning except for the fourth, Westfield was up 7-1 through six innings. They slammed the door shut in the seventh inning running up another six runs. Westfield totaled 10 strikeouts in the game. The Gowanda softball found themselves at Westfield on April 6, facing a team that had beat them

13-2 just a week before. Once again, they were up against Westfield’s All-Star pitcher, Haleigh Dellow. The game started out exactly as the meeting at Gowanda had, with a 4-0 Westfield lead after one inning that was 7-0 after two. The rest of the game, Gowanda did much better as they outscored Westfield 4-1 in the last four innings. That was still not enough to avoid a 9-4 loss. Addison Kota doubled for Gowanda in the game while Gao:wisa:s Stevens and Cameron Nagle each contributed singles. — The Gowanda Varsity boys lacrosse team was at Newfane on April 5. With a dominant first half performance, Gowanda took a 7-3 halftime lead. A 4-2 effort
in the final half resulted in an 11-5 victory. Sharing the top honors for Gowanda were Croix Snow (3 goals; 3 assists), Quinton Jackson (3 goals, 2 assists) and Logan Lukonaitis (3 goals, 1 assist). Evan Fort and Ha’tsihgahdo:d Stevens each added a goal and an assist. DJ Dirienzo and Aiden Ackley were each credited with an assist. The boys lacrosse team was at Akron on April 7. Akron completely dominated the first half taking the score to 16-2. While the second half play was more even, Gowanda still ended up with

a 20-6 loss. — The Gowanda Varsity girls lacrosse team started out their week on April 4 hosting West Seneca East. In 2021, Gowanda had won the Section VI class D Championship as an underdog at Eden. Before the West Seneca game, the team was presented with the championship banner that they had earned the year before. The game itself was a continuation of that celebration as Gowanda opened up a 7-3
lead in the first half. They stretched the gap to 13-7 by the end of the game. Chloe Luther led the Gowanda effort 8 goals. Ke’ya Stevens contributed two goals and three assists. With single Gowanda goals were Autumn Nephew, Aurora Stevens and Lily Scanlan. In goal for Gowanda, Aailyah Stevens had 8 saves. It was a different story for the girls April 6 when they hosted Frontier. Twelve seconds into the 25-minute first half, Chloe Luther scored for Gowanda after winning the opening draw and taking it straight in to score. Gowanda would not score again in the half as Frontier ran up a

SES FIFTH GRADERS LEAD A “SWEET” EXPERIENCE Maple Program Provides Students FirstHand Look At Syrup Production
SPRINGVILLE - What began as a single classroom experiment on how to make maple syrup at Springville Elementary School has evolved into a “sweet” learning experience for fifth grade students in the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District. Since 2018, the SES 5th grade team has bridged winter and spring by teaching students the rudiments behind making maple syrup. “We started this by just tapping a few trees, bringing it back and making maple syrup on a turkey fryer on the sidewalk,” said Jonathan Chaddock, a fifth grade teacher at the school. “What happened was the kids had such a great time with it and it was such a big hit that we made enough to have a pancake breakfast.” With the project beginning to grow and the SGI administration looking for creative ways to revitalize its curriculum, Chaddock — throwing the idea out there — pitched the idea of building a sugar shack in between the elementary school and bus garage on North Street. The idea: teach students how to make syrup, produce
as many bottles as possible, and sell the finished product internally to raise money for the 5th grade’s annual sleepaway camp experience. “I threw it out there and (former superintendent) Mrs. (Kimberly) Moritz was all in,” Chaddock said. “The equipment is a small unit. You make really nice syrup with it, but you can make 30-35 gallons a year with the amount of trees that we have around the school and that we are able to tap.” The shack was built ahead of the 2019-20 school year. However, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented students from taking full advantage of the program until this year. And, even with the short season due to the fluctuation of weather, fifth grade students at SES — who are involved in the entire process except for the boiling – were able to collect over 960 gallons of sap to yield 24 gallons of syrup. “This has been the first real year that we’ve been able to involve everybody,” Chaddock said. “Last year a lot of the classes came, but it was a little more strict with the number of kids in the shanty. Kids can come in and taste a little now and really
get the full experience.” Chaddock handles the boiling — an incredibly delicate process that he learned from his late father-in-law, a Polish immigrant who settled in Allegany County.
Artists and would-be artists alike are invited by Springville Center for the “I started learning Arts to paint en plein air (in from him when I was 25,” the open air) at the Olmsted Chaddock said of his fatherCamp, a historic farm and in-law, Fred Kolakowski. “He had a dairy farm and did summer camp built in the Arts and Crafts style. this as a way to supplement Designed by Harold his income.

Outdoor Activities Benefit Kids Modern amenities and indoor comforts have made life easier in many ways, but they’ve also helped to fashion a generation of people who spend much of their time inside. A 2018 report from the international research firm YouGov found that around 90 percent of study respondents from North America and Europe spend close to 22 hours inside every day. Children may get a little more time outdoors than adults, particularly if they participate in outdoor sports. There are distinct advantages to engaging in more outdoor activities. Here’s a look at some of them. • Improved mood and reduced risk of depression: The YouGov report notes that around 15 percent of the world’s population is affected by different levels of seasonal affective disorder, which is believed to be a direct result of lack of daylight. Symptoms go away when days are longer and individuals can enjoy more sunshine. Children who go outside and get ample exposure to sunlight may experience a more
positive mood and renewed energy. • Lower risk of obesity: Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg from the American Academy of Pediatrics says outdoor play can help reduce obesity in today’s youth. Children can enjoy self-directed physical activity that also stimulates awareness of one’s surroundings. • Improved vitamin D levels: Vitamin D has been dubbed the “sunshine vitamin” because sunlight hitting the skin prompts the liver and kidneys to create vitamin D in the body. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to depression and heart failure and may compromise the immune system. Children can improve current and future health by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels through healthy exposure to sunlight. • Lower stress levels: Students of all ages are faced with stressful situations that come at them from every angle. The arrival of the global pandemic has been an added stressor that continues to affect children and adults. According to
Plein Air Workshop
research by the University of Essex, outdoor exercise offers mental health benefits that exceed those gleaned from indoor exercise. Spending time in a green space can result in improved mood and self-esteem. A 2017 study of Japanese students found those who spent time in the forest for two nights returned home with lower levels of cortisol, a hormone used as a marker of stress, than students who remained in the city. The practice of de-stressing outdoors is often referred to as “forest bathing” or “nature therapy.” • Better focus: A dose of nature may help children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder improve their concentration levels. A 2008 study from researchers at the University of Illinois found that children with ADHD demonstrated greater attention performance following a 20-minute walk in a park as compared to a residential neighborhood or downtown area. Getting outside and engaging in any activity has a variety of benefits for children and adults.

Western NY Nonprofit Support Group changes name to Nonprofit Support Group and launches new nonprofit tool – Impact HQ The Western NY Nonprofit Support Group, founded as a working group of foundations and consultants with a shared commitment to the nonprofit sector, has updated its name to the Nonprofit Support Group or NSG. In conjunction with this name change, NSG is excited to support the launch of a new nonprofit information hub called Impact HQ. NSG continues to be a nonprofit collaborative of the region’s capacity-building funders dedicated to eliminating barriers to nonprofit success. This change is to better reflect the regional nonprofits that NSG supports and to drive brand awareness. This name change, accompanied by the launch of a robust, professional website and social media presence, is a significant opportunity for the organization and the nonprofits it serves. “At NSG, we are all about enhancing nonprofit impact, and there is no better way to do that than strategically building their capacity to get results.” said Katie Pieri, Director, NSG, adding, “We hope that our name and the launch of
these great online resources will make it easier for more nonprofits to connect, equip themselves with the tools they need, and strengthen our community through their invaluable work.” Impact HQ was developed to address the evolving needs of nonprofits in our region. The purpose is to provide nonprofits with easier access to up-to-date capacity-building resources so they can work more efficiently, be more effective, and achieve greater mission impact. Responding to requests from regional nonprofit leaders, the hub’s initial focus will be on providing a wealth of Racial Equity and Technology resources and an up-todate funders’ directory for the region. Nonprofits that create an account will get access to a variety of other resources, including trainings, a listing of capacity-building providers in communications, strategic planning, board development, DEI, and more. Impact HQ was made possible by a group of funders and intermediary organizations dedicated to the health and vitality of the nonprofit sector who worked col-
laboratively to bring the hub to life. “Like so many of us, COVID-19 has had a profound impact on our regional nonprofit sector, but I’m proud of the way we’ve been able to work together over the past two years to identify ways to help it begin to thrive again.” said Ann Battaglia, CEO, Healthy Community Alliance, Inc., adding “Thanks to the generous support of our funders and partner intermediary organizations, the launch of Impact HQ is just the beginning.” This resource was developed through community conversations held in 2020 with more than 160 nonprofit leaders to learn how to support them in recovering from COVID-19. In these conversations, it became clear that: 1) NFPs and intermediaries are facing information overload, 2) Access to help is not streamlined, and info is rapidly changing, 3) Lack of access to hardware, software, tech training, 4) Nonprofits and intermediaries require support on the path to being equitable, culturally responsive, and an-
ti-racist 5) Collaboration is more important than ever across our 9-county region. “I just want to say we asked, and here it is. This is so exciting. I can’t wait to log in and see all it has to offer.” said Tara N. Burgess, Executive Director, EPIC – Every Person Influences Children and Impact HQ focus group participant. The organizations involved in the effort include Arts Services Inc., Causewave Community Partners, ESL, Health Foundation for Western & Central New York, Healthy Community Alliance Inc., Mission: Ignite, NSG, Open Buffalo, Peter & Elizabeth Tower Foundation, Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes, United Way of Southern Chautauqua County, Urban League f Rochester, and Western New York Foundation.

DEC ANNOUNCES PROPOSED CHANGES TO WILD TURKEY HUNTING REGULATIONS Proposed Changes Would Expand Hunting Opportunities BUFFALO, NY — New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced proposed changes to wild turkey hunting regulations, giving hunters additional turkey hunting opportunities. The proposal, if enacted, would not be in place until later this year and among other changes, establishes a spring turkey season in Suffolk County in 2023, with a season limit of one bearded bird. “Wild turkey restoration is one of the greatest success stories of modern wildlife conservation,” Commissioner Seggos said. “In New York, DEC’s management and protection of wild turkeys has allowed the birds to maintain self-sustaining populations in all suitable habitats of the state. This regulation change would expand hunting downstate, ensuring New York remains a premiere destination for turkey hunters in the Northeast.” The existence of wild turkeys on Long Island is a relatively recent phenomenon, with populations growing to more than 3,000 birds. The first turkey hunting season on Long Island was a five-day fall season in 2009 with a one-bird bag limit. After DEC established this season and, later, a two-day youth-only spring season, turkey populations in the area continued to increase. Their populations can now support additional hunting opportunities in the
form of a spring season from May 1 through May 31 with a bag limit of one bearded bird.
If adopted as proposed, a spring season would occur in 2023 in Suffolk County.
In addition, another proposal scheduled to take effect this fall, would change the minimum shot size from #8 to #9 for turkey hunting statewide, to account for advances in shotshell technology. Previously, shot sizes smaller than #8 were prohibited because they lacked the kinetic energy downrange to humanely harvest a turkey. Recent advances in shotshell technology use heavier metals such as tungsten alloy, tungsten-iron, or bismuth. These heavier shot types, sometimes referred to as “Tungsten Super Shot” or “TSS,” maintain enough energy to humanely harvest a turkey. In terms of kinetic energy, #9 tungsten can have the same weight as #5 lead shot and achieve a higher pellet count.
DEC welcomes public comment on these regulatory proposals through June 5, 2022. Please send comments by email to w ildliferegs@dec.ny.gov with “Proposed Turkey Regulations” in the subject line or by mail to Joshua Stiller, NYSDEC, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-4754.
