Local Girl Scouts shine in efforts to help school Troop’s fundraising supports student learning SILVER CREEK – Two diligent and industrious local Girl Scouts -- Emily Bowers and Stephanie VanCheri of Troop 20069 and freshmen at Silver Creek High School -- were recently presented the Silver Award, the second highest award of the Girl Scouts of the USA. The concept of this award is for a small group of Cadette Girl Scouts to identify a community need that overlaps with their own areas of interest then develop and execute a project to address that need. The girls, who are both members of the Junior National Honor Society, began the planning process in August 2019 and it didn’t take long for them to identify this overlap of interest and need. Both Bowers and Van-
Cheri developed an affinity for sewing and cooking after a series of Family and Consumer Science (FACS) classes in middle school. As a result, they’d often get together to cook or sew, hauling sewing machines, received as Christmas gifts, back and forth between houses. Although they thoroughly enjoyed and learned much in FACS class, they often experienced the frustration of working with decades-old equipment that didn’t always cooperate. At times, it was difficult for students to accomplish tasks, even though FACS staff always ensured the students were successful. Bowers and VanCheri decided they wanted to improve the experience for future Black Knights. And so, this became the community
need they chose to address for their Silver Project. Bowers and VanCheri began by requesting a “wish list” from FACS staff, pricing it out, then getting to work on raising funds. They put their sewing and cooking skills to work by holding bake sales and sewing items for craft fairs. However, soon into their efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, seemingly stifling all their fundraising opportunities. After realizing there would be no quick end to the shutdown caused by COVID-19, the girls once again put their ingenuity and skills to work and began sewing masks for donation or sale. As the months passed, the girls continued making masks, bags, and holiday crafts to sell. With the help of social media, lo-
cal businesses, and a very generous and supportive community, the girls were finally able to raise all of the needed funds. Although it took nearly 6 months longer to meet their goal than planned, the girls proved that even a pandemic would not stand in their way. They raised enough money to purchase ALL of the items on the FACS original wish list at a cost of $4,500. Items included two gas ranges, a refrigerator, laundry dryer, five Singer sewing machines, four KitchenAid mixers with attachments, four blenders, iron, ironing board with

BACK TO OUR ROOTS In 1976 our Dad, Jack White, started White's Farm and Home Service, doing what he loved...fixing broken things. As the years went by, he felt the need to keep his entire family busy and involved so we started selling appliances as well as repairing them. Jack retired 18 years ago at the urging of his doctor at that time his children, Scott and Terri, bought the business. Over the past 45 years the family dynamics have changed quite a bit, and the crew has aged a lot. Starting in June 2021, White's Appliance, Inc. will go back to its roots, fixing appliances that are broken. We feel, based on the amount of service calls we receive daily, that this is the very best way to serve our community and surrounding area. We enjoy repairing appliances and being able to help people. As of April 01, 2021, we will no longer be special ordering appliances. We will continue to sell appliances from stock and what is readily available until June 01, 2021. From then on, Scott and Bob will continue to attend the service schools in order to be up to date on the latest in appliances. They will continue to get your appliances up and running honestly and efficiently. Warranties for the brands we service and the extended warranties that we sold will continue to be honored. The store will continue to be open for all your parts and accessory needs. The phone will continue to be answered, for your questions and problems, from 9am-6pm Monday through Friday. The coffee will continue to be on. We love our community, surrounding areas, and each of the customers that have become like family over the past 45 years. With your continued support, we will be here for years to come. Beverly, Scott, Terri, Bob, Jaime, Bindi

Ashley Lowry to Clean Up the Streets of Springville… Literally. CONCORD– Join Friends of Ashley Lowry as they clean up the streets around the village of Springville on Saturday, March 27, 2021 at 2pm. As we anxiously await the coming of warmer weather, the layers of melting snow reveal the winter’s collection of garbage. Soon, that garbage will blow down the streets and get caught up in the lawns and gardens near you. That is why Ashley Lowry, candidate for

Gowanda Sports Report By Bill Peglowski The Gowanda boys basketball team settled back into the old pattern of not quite scoring enough to win this week, while the girls continued to be the highlight. Both the boys and girls bowling teams did well at sectionals and the new baseball field at the high school saw its first action from an unexpected source. The Gowanda Panthers Boys Basketball team opened their week on March 9 at Chautauqua Lake. They started out down 19-10 after the first quarter and were outscored 24-12 through the next two quarters. That gave Chautauqua Lake a 43-22 advantage going into the final period. While Gowanda did win the battle of the fourth quarter 12-9, it was too little and too late. Chautauqua Lake came away with a 52-34 victory. The Gowanda effort was headed up by John Ondus who hit three times from 3-point range towards a total of 16 points. Adam Golden added 12 points for the Panthers. The team had one other game on the week hosting Portville on March 11. In a very close game, the Panthers still ended up six points short with a 52-46
loss. Once again Ondus led the way for Gowanda with 16 points. Right behind was Golden with 13 points. The highlight game of the week was the Gowanda Lady Panthers home game against Portville on March 8. In this week’s contest, Gowanda started out hot with three 3-point scores from Scotia Snyder that gave the Lady Panthers a 9-2 lead. A 12-5 Gowanda lead would shrink to 12-7 at the end of the quarter as Portville’s Lillian Bentley scored just beating the buzzer. Gowanda scored first in the second quarter with Zoey Kota hitting from 3-point range. The team would increase their lead during the period to 22-14. The play in the second half was pretty even. Gowanda won the third quarter 10-9 and Chautauqua Lake took the fourth 11-9. In the end, Gowanda came away with a 41-34 victory. Three Gowanda players scored from 3-point range, Scotia Snyder five times, Miya Scanlan three times and Zoey Kota once. Snyder’s five 3-point baskets led the Lady Panthers scoring with 15 points. Scanlan and Aailya Stevens added nine and eight points, respectively. Gowanda’s Lady Panthers went to North Collins
on March 10 and opened an early 11-0 lead before North Collins finally got on the board. They would end the quarter with an 18-5 lead. The Lady Panthers ran up a 19-0 shutout in the second period leaving the halftime score at 37-5. The Gowanda advantage increased to 5012 going into the final quarter. The two teams played a close final quarter. It was a 14-13 period for Gowanda with North Collins’ Makenna Williams striking from 3-point range, for the second time in the period, as the buzzer sounded.. For the Panthers, it was Gao:wisa:s Stevens with 18 points leading all scorers. Scanlan and Stevens added 13 and 11 points, respectively. Having a successful week, the Lady Panthers moved on to another road game at Salamanca the next day. It was another game where the Lady Panthers
would take the lead early and never look back. They would turn a 26-11 lead after one quarter into a 44-18 advantage going into the final period. Salamanca did outscore the Lady Panthers in that last period, 12-10, but the damage was already done. Gowanda moved to 6-3 on the season with one week to go before playoffs. IN OTHER SPORTS ACTION, the boys bowling team traveled to Airport Lanes in Cheektowaga on March 11. Gowanda competed against four other Division 2, Class D teams finishing second in Class D as a team. Gowanda bowlers also did well individually. Cameron Wight (124-181208-172/685) finished 6th in Class and made the 2nd Team All-Stars. Drew Shull
cially distanced. Friends of Ashley Lowry will provide garbage bags, gloves, and masks to all attendees. The team will also offer volunteers supplies to take home to encourage individuals, families, and small groups of neighbors to clean up their own neighborhoods anytime this spring. “Tons of trash and debris are removed by thousands of volunteers every year and we can join them,” said Lowry. “If we all do a little, the impact will be huge. Everyone wins. Show your commitment to Concord and join me and my team as we clean up the streets ofC Springville.” Anyone interested ino joining the effort need only show up at UNOVA Coworking at 29 MechanicB Street at 2pm.

Concord Town Justice, has organized the cleanup event just in time for spring. “A community cleanup is an easy way to bring people together to clean and improve public spaces” said Lowry. “Clean streets demonstrate a pride of place. No one likes to see litter when walking around the neighborhood. Littered streets convey an attitude of neglect. I’m willing to do my part to improve the town.” A clean street is also a safer street. “Statistics show that crime is less likely to occur in clean, well-lit neighborhoods, used frequently by its residents, friends, and families. By simply picking up a bit of trash, volunteers will make the area less attractive to criminals and more attractive to the community, which in turn makes the community safer.” Volunteers can join in this village-wide effort while staying safe and so-

Considerations for Cow Cooling this Year
Cornell Cooperative Extension shares information on providing heat abatement to cattle
By ALYCIA DRWENCKE
SOUTHWEST NY– Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock, and Field Crops Program (SWNYDLFC) shares information on cow cooling for the 2021 season. While heat stress in dairy cows may not be at the forefront of anyone’s mind with several inches of snow and ice on the ground and temperatures barely above freezing, it is important to start thinking about the upcoming warm seasons. Preparing for warm weather now can help farms prevent losses in milk production and keep cows comfortable in 2021. Cows, especially dairy animals, are much less tolerant to heat than humans. They are uncomfortable and can experience heat stress beginning at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. To help keep cows cool farms provide shade, fans, and spray
water. Best practice is to provide these in both the holding area of the milking parlor, and in the home pen where cows spend their time eating and resting. Farms should use the coming weeks to perform any necessary repairs to cooling equipment and do a thorough cleaning of fans and sprayers, as dust easily builds up and reduces energy efficiency of these technologies. If farms are upgrading or installing additional cooling equipment, now is a perfect time so cows can benefit from the upgrades throughout the entire 2021 season. Additionally, farms should ensure they are providing adequate cooling to all ages and classes of animals on the farm, including calves, heifers, and dry cows. Recent work out of the University of Florida has emphasized the importance of providing heat abatement to non-lactating animals on the farm. Providing shade, fans, and spray water to these groups of animals

will promote profitability and increased milk production in your herd across multiple generation. The University of Florida’s work shows that cows pass the negative effects of heat stress on to their offspring and will produce less milk during their lactation if they experience increased heat load in the dry period. Further, their work shows that in New York State the dairy industry loses nearly 40 million dollars per year from heat stress. These losses are a result of decreased milk production, fertility, lameness, and feed intake, which all highlight the importance of cooling cattle and the economic benefits of installing fans and sprayers. Opportunities exist to improve cooling and its efficiency on farm by providing supplementary heat abatement, especially to dry cows, heifers, and calves. As farms prepare for the warmer months ahead, take the time to check all cooling equipment is functioning properly for each age and class of animal on the farm. For more information about heat abatement for dairy cows, contact Alycia Drwencke, Dairy Management Specialist, at 517-4160386 or amd453@cornell. edu.
Borrello, Giglio call for more vaccine for Southern Tier ALBANY — State Sen. George Borrello and Assemblyman Joseph Giglio have called for the governor and state health officials to ensure more COVID-19 vaccine gets to residents of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. Borrello asked for more action from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Dr. Howard Zucker, New York’s commissioner of health, after more people from Erie County than the Southern Tier’s Allegany County were vaccinated earlier this month at the state’s temporary mass vaccination site at Jamestown Community College in Olean. “We won’t defeat this pandemic by pitting one group of New Yorkers against their neighbors,” Borrello said. “The rules should be the same for everyone. However, once again, the needs of rural communities are being ignored by this administration. Borrello said only 10% of the vaccinations went to residents of Allegany County while 22% went to Erie County residents. “While I am grateful that 3,567 people, mostly from Western New York, were able to get vaccinated at (JCC), more needs to be done to meet the needs of our rural residents,” he said. “People in Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua
counties deserve the same consideration when it comes to getting this life-saving vaccine as their neighbors and fellow New Yorkers in Erie County have.” Borrello’s senate district includes Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. Borrello also called registration for vaccination appointments at the site “a free-for-all” because the state did not restrict it to residents of our rural counties. People from as far away as Dutchess County and Delaware County received vaccinations in Olean, while only residents from certain zip codes in and around Buffalo were able to register for a recent state vaccination clinic there. Giglio, R-Gowanda, assailed what he called “the continued mistreatment of rural communities in Western New York” during the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of inadequate supply of vaccine. Giglio said Cattaraugus and Allegany counties have been subjected to the same standards as Buffalo and more densely populated areas in the early stages of the pandemic, “shut down
needlessly” when Southern Tier communities had fewer active cases and deaths. “Now, however, when it comes to vaccine distribution, we have been shortchanged again with the recent vaccination clinic in Olean, which was touted as an effort to correct inequities in vaccination rates for our rural communities,” he said, referring to the fiveday mass vaccination clinic at the Jamestown Community College’s campus. Giglio pointed out that vaccine clinics throughout the state, from Buffalo to New York City, have been restricted by zip codes to ensure that the underserved populations are given prioritized access to vaccines. The state clinic in Olean, however, was open to any New York state resident, and several residents from outside the Southern Tier got appointments. He said, of the total, 42% of recipients were from Cattaraugus County, 24% from Chautauqua County and 10% from Allegany County, which remains the county with the lowest percentage of the population vaccinated in the entire state.

Goodemote also made 2nd Team All-Stars and was 4th for high series in Class D with a 620. Daniel Marrocco (161-127-173-204/665) came out 11th in Class and was tied for 3rd for high game in Class D with 237. While Silver Creek did not do well as a team, they did have some notable individual performances. Nate BarletteDye (186-144-149-195/674) finished 9th in Class D and Damien Evans (142-157163-142/604) finished 15TH. The Gowanda girls bowling team went to Sectionals on March 10 and also did very well. As a team, the Lady Panthers finished in the middle of the pack, third of five teams in Class D. Cameron Nagel (150-170193-147/660) finished 2nd overall in Division 2. Paige Szalay and Demitra Spire (8th grade) made the 2nd Team All-Stars. Szalay also turned in two games over her average in five games bowled.
continued from front page ALSO OF NOTE, the new baseball field at the high school saw its first action this week. The high school baseball diamond, known in the school community as Panther Park, had been reconstructed with an artificial surface as part of the last major capital project along with the softball field. Both ballfields were completed by the fall of 2019, but the COVID cancellation of Spring sports in 2020 saw them go unused that year. However, Panther Park did see several games played there this week. D’Youville College used the Gowanda field as their home field as they opened their season with a pair of double-header match-ups. On March 9 they took on Hilbert College, and after a 1-3 loss in the opener, D’Youville rebounded for a 4-1 win. On March 12, D’Youville hosted Cazenovia College for another double-header. The results were again split with D’Youville losing the opener 2-3 and taking an 8-7 win in the second game.
