Gowanda Sports Report BY BILL PEGLOWSKI GOWANDA — The Gowanda Varsity softball team hosted Springville on April 12. In the first inning, Gowanda pitcher Cianna Hidalgo retired the Springville batters without a hit and giving up a single walk. Gowanda’s leadoff batter Gao:wisa:s Stevens was grazed by a pitch placing her on first base. She gradually made her way to third. Batting third, Addison Kota brought Stevens home with a double to left field. Next up, Ella Luther singled allowing Kota to score. After a Hailey Fort double to deep center, Springville finally registered a strikeout. Luther, then, scored from third on a passed ball before a Kailyn Farner RBI single scored Fort. That left the score at 4-0 after one inning. Strong pitching continued for Gowanda in the second inning, handing strikeouts to the next two Springville batters. A third out followed with a hit direct to first base for an easy tag. Gowanda went back to work on offense. Hidalgo started things off with a single to left field. Emylia McHale followed with a single as a fielding error at first base landed her on second and brought Hidalgo home. Then, for the second time in the game, Stevens was hit by a pitch, this time less of a graze than the first. McHale was thrown out trying to get to third on a Holland Browning single. Following a second Gowanda out, an error in center field gave Luther another single. With two runners on base, Fort was back up to bat. She drove a shot into the deep corner of left field for a 2RBI triple. A final strikeout ended the inning with the score 8-0 with Gowanda in control.
All of that led to a scoreless third inning. Springville batters were again retired in order. Four Gowanda hitters came up with a lone single. After the short third inning and after another three Springville batters were retired in order, their defense fell apart in the bottom half of the inning. After the first Gowanda batter struck out, Holland Browning followed with a single. Addison Kota followed with a low shot to the left side of center field for
a hit just inside of the thirdbase line. At that point, Springville managed to get a second out on Gowanda. The next three Gowanda batters singled bringing in two more runs. A final pair of runs scored with a Gao:wisa:s Stevens triple into right field. As the inning closed, it was now 16-0. In the fifth inning, the first Springville hit a pop up right to the pitcher.

Gowanda pitcher Cianna Hidalgo batted for three singles and scored two runs. Facing 17 Springville batters, she registered six strikeouts and gave up just two walks.

Combine the seasoning mix ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl. Heat olive oil in a 12inch skillet over high heat. When oil is very hot, add the prosciutto, cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots, and zucchini. Add the butter and, as it melts, stir in the garlic and the seasoning mix. Stir in asparagus tips or snow peas and green onions. Stir well and cook just until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the sauce has thickened a bit, about 3 minutes. Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, toss well and remove from the heat. Serve immediately.

THERE’S A BAN ON LIVE FOWL SHOWS, MEETS, SWAPS, AUCTIONS, AND SALES. WHY, AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Cornell Cooperative Extension shares information about the two recent live poultry bans in New York State that are in place to help stop the spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) by Amy Barkley, Livestock and Beginning Farm Specialist with the SWNY Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program SOUTHWEST, NY — Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, a highly contagious, fatal, flu-like disease of poultry, has been spreading across the state since February. As of April 19, 2022, New York has seen the disease in 8 domestic flocks: One commercial, one captive wild birds, and the remainder were backyard flocks. Over 10,000 birds have died or have been euthanized. These positives started in the eastern region of the state but have moved westward over the spring season. Domestic bird positives have been confirmed in Dutchess, Fulton, Orleans, Monroe,
Suffolk, and Ulster Counties. Wild bird positives have been identified in Cayuga, Seneca, Suffolk, and Wayne Counties. The most recent cases in domestic flocks in NYS were identified in the first week of April. On March 25, 2022, Commissioner Ball and NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets announced that the state would be proactively banning all live fowl shows and exhibitions to stop the potential spread of HPAI. This meant that fairs, public hatching events, fowl shows, and other events like them would not be allowed until further notice. On Thursday, April 14th, the ban had been expanded to include all fowl auctions and other events where people can purchase, sell, swap, or
trade fowl. The reasoning behind this update was the same as the original notice from March: to limit the congregation of poultry from different farms and homesteads to reduce the spread of disease. At this time, the ban does not include individual farms selling poultry, farm supply stores, chicks being shipped into the state from hatcheries, poultry processors that operate under a 5A or USDA Exemption, or live bird markets. While both bans are in place until further notice, the situation will be re-evaluated at the end of May. In the meantime, it’s important that poultry owners remain on high alert for any unusual illness or deaths in their poultry flocks. Symptoms including death without

Any suspicious illness can be reported to: - NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets: 518457-3502 - USDA (United States Department of Agriculture): 866-536-7593 - Your local Cornell Cooperative Extension Office

In addition, Chamber member businesses can reserve small ad spaces on the map in be included on the map to provide special offers during the sale days to help draw yard sale consumers into local restaurants and retailers. Business listings on the yard sales maps speaks to one of the Chamber’s key value propositions for member businesses: to drive foot and internet traffic into local businesses to help them increase sales. While consumers may be drawn into a community for the yard sale event, we also want to encourage them to sample the flavor of the community

In addition to adding beauty to a property, gardens can offset grocery costs by yielding tasty produce. They also offer important habitats and food sources for both insects and animals. While growing a vegetable or flower garden can turn into a rewarding hobby, or even a passion, gardening also can be overwhelming — particularly when the results are less than stellar. Novice gardeners have scores of resources at their disposal, including the advice of gardeners who have made mistakes and learned from them. The following guidance can make home gardens that much more successful. 1. Start small. You may have visions of an expansive garden growing rows of crops or acres
of flowers. But it is smart to start small and build on what you find successful, which includes plants that thrive in your lawn and garden. This also is beneficial if you are unsure of vegetable yields. Several blooming plants producing bushels of crops can be overwhelming, especially if you can’t get to harvesting or cooking them in a timely fashion. 2. Assess the soil. Plants need nutrient-rich soil to encourage extensive root systems and produce strong, hardy plants, according to the gardening resource GrowVeg. Nourish soil with organic matter, such as manure, compost, shredded leaves, and natural mulch. Add this organic matter in the off-season to give it enough time to be incorporated into the ground before spring. You can have your soil tested for pH and

other characteristics that make it friendly or averse to plants at a local garden center. 3. Arm yourself with knowledge. Do you know how deeply to plant seeds and how far apart to space plants? Are you aware of the sunlight needs of certain flowers or plants? If not, read the packaging and do your research so your plants have the best chance of not only sprouting, but also surviving. Many people prefer to start seedlings indoors in late winter and then transfer those plants outdoors when they are stronger and more established. 4. Sit in your yard and observe. Watch the way the sunlight dances over areas of your landscape. Take note of which areas get the most sun and shade. This will help you plan what to plant and where to plant it. Vegetable gardens tend to need ample
sunlight to bear pick-worthy produce. You can give plants a leg up by growing them in optimal conditions. 5. Choose hardy varieties. Certain plants have been bred to thrive in your climate, including heat-tolerant plants for climates with sweltering summer sun. Consult with a local gardening center to figure out which plant zone you are in and which plants will do best within that zone. 6. Use rainwater. Rainwater contains fewer contaminants and additives than tap water, which can benefit garden plants. Collect rainwater in rain barrels and use irrigation systems to deliver it to the garden. Home gardens can yield many gifts, from flowers to fruit. Beginners can utilize some time-tested strategies to increase their chances of planting a successful garden.
Home renovation projects are significant undertakings. Working with skilled and experienced contractors can ensure projects go smoothly and are completed promptly. Timing is a big consideration for homeowners as they begin renovating their homes, and the home improvement experts at HomeAdvisor note that the following are some general timelines for popular renovation projects. • Home addition: Short of a full-scale demolition and rebuild, home additions are the most time-consuming projects homeowners can undertake. HomeAdvisor notes that its survey of customers who recently completed home addition projects reported that the average time from start to finish was between three and four months. Certain variables, including the scale of the project and the local permits process, can extend the time it takes to complete a home addition. • Kitchen remodel: Scale is a big factor to consider when estimating the time it takes to complete various home improvement projects, and kitchen remodels are no exception. Some HomeAdvisor users reported projects taking as long as four months, though the average time reported was roughly six weeks. Projects that require major overhauls like rearranging the plumbing and moving walls
will likely take longer than more cosmetic projects that are limited to replacing cabinets and countertops. • Bathroom remodel: More than 1,000 homeowners surveyed by HomeAdvisor reported that bathroom remodels took about 4.5 weeks from start to finish. Small-scale remodels that focus on painting the walls a fresh color and replacing existing tiles can be completed in less than two weeks. But like with kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels that involve replacing plumbing fixtures and removing walls figure to take much longer than that. • Siding installation: HomeAdvisor users report that new siding projects take roughly two weeks from start to finish. That estimate is the same regardless of which materials homeowners are replacing and installing. • Replacement windows: Homeowners who want to replace all the windows in their home can expect such a project to take roughly three weeks. HomeAdvisor notes that such a timeline need not concern homeowners worried that they will be forced to brave the elements during the length of the project. Much of a contractors’ time during a window replacement project will be spent on upfront measuring and then ensuring a tight fit once the windows have been installed.

Spring is a season of rebirth in more ways than one. Spring is when certain animals emerge from hibernation, while many species lay eggs or give birth this time of year. Flowers and trees also bloom in spring, providing spectacular foliage and awe-inspiring color. People also may feel like they have a new lease on life as they shake away the doldrums of winter and embrace longer hours of sunlight and warmer temperatures. The arrival of spring is worthy of celebration, and these activities and ideas can be enjoyable ways to spend the first day of spring. • Spend time outdoors. One is never too old for a picnic in a park or a bike ride along the trails. Spending time outdoors is beneficial because it exposes people to sunlight, which is a precur-
sor to the development of vitamin D. Vitamin D affects muscles, joints and tissues. It also can affect mood. • Plant a tree. Honor the first day of spring, and Earth Day shortly thereafter, by planting trees. Trees provide habitats for wildlife, create shade, reduce air pollution by filtering the air, and produce oxygen. A sapling is a mangeable tree to plant and something children can do as well. • Enjoy spring crafts. Grab an inexpensive canvas and paint a landscape that is in full bloom. Use quick-set plaster to create stepping stones embedded with mosaic glass pieces for color that can be added to the backyard. • Host a spring potluck. Put fresh spring vegetables and fruits on display. Options include artichokes, apricots, asparagus, carrots, dandelion greens, and
radishes. Put together a pasta primavera, which essentially is a spring pasta dish laden with fresh vegetables. • Decorate with flowers. Bring fresh flowers indoors and put them on display in vases or table centerpieces. Cut stems on a 45-degree angle underwater to help flowers last longer. In addition, choose floral themed curtains and throw pillows to add some spring decor. • Create a water feature. The sound and sights of cascading water can be both relaxing and picturesque. A water feature can be something as simple as a small fountain or more elaborate like a koi pond. Spring is a time of year when people can enjoy seasonal activities that make the most of the warmer weather and blooming landscape.
