Gowanda Is My Home
Submissions open for Downtown Springville Art Crawl SPRINGVILLE — Springville Center for the Arts is accepting artwork submissions for the juried annual Downtown Springville Art Crawl. The deadline to submit is Saturday, May 1. This one-night art event places artwork in small businesses along Springville’s East Main Historic District and visitors stroll from location to location during the free event. The art crawl takes place Saturday, June 5 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. In addition to fine art work, this year’s event is looking for musicians and performers to play interspersed with the artwork, arts installation proposals, arts demonstrations and fine crafters looking to table in a sales area. A small “pop-up shop” marketplace will feature small business owners that do not yet have a storefront space. Community organizations interested in setting up a table to promote their
activities are also sought. To submit artwork, artists are asked to email images of their submissions and an entry form to SCAArtSubmissions@g mail.com. Five original pieces of any medium may be accepted. There is no restriction on size or age. If accepted by the jury, artists will be notified and work must be delivered ready to display by May 29. A submission form and details are available at crawl. springvillearts.org. Performers, community organizations and others interested in participating should call the center at (716) 592-9038 or email SCAArtSubmissions@g mail.com. The event will follow all current COVID-19 safety guidelines and is therefore subject to change. The art jury this year includes Gerald Mead, Cindi O’Mara and Richard Stamps. Gerald Mead is an independent curator, art collector and arts writer who
GOWANDA – A beautification effort is planned in the village Saturday, April 24, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Local residents are warmly encouraged to volunteer to clean up trash along walking routes and beyond. Tyler Bettker, a local third-grader recently taking a walk with his mom Susan Covert-Bettker, noticed trash strewn along their path and said “We need to pick this up,” inspiring a grassroots community clean-up It turns out that spring has sprung some flowers, but has also unveiled the garbage that has accumulated during winter. The weekend after Earth Day, which is observed annually April 22, is an ideal opportunity for the public to pitch in at the “Gowanda Is My Home: A Community Clean-up.” The sites recognized for cleaning include: Creekside Park, North Water Street along Cattaraugus Creek and, under the Aldrich Street bridge Those interested should stop by Jesse’s Home & Gifts, 53 West Main St., during business hours to sign up your group for the

Gowanda mayor will donate this year’s $8,000 salary to non-profits
GOWANDA — Mayor David Smith said during his recent state of the village address that he will donate his $8,000 salary to non-profit organizations in the village. Among the recipients will be the Gowanda Hollywood Theatre, the Gowanda Free Library, the Gowanda Fire Department and the Gowanda Ambulance Department. “I believe I am a public servant,” Smith said during his address, which also inArt Crawl continued on ........... page 3 cluded a presentation of the
ignation was 60.8, which is considered high, but in 2018 that number was 3.3, and in 2020, Smith said, the number was just 1.67, essentially a zero designation. Meanwhile, Smith said one of the most important projects that the village has worked is the Thatcher Brook Flood Mitigation Project, which is now entering the design phase. Flooding from Thatch-

Addressing the state of the village, Smith cited steady improvement in Gowanda’s fiscal stress designation. In 2015, the village’s des-

Gowanda Sports Report BY BILL PEGLOWSKI The last week of the delayed 2020 winter sports season saw either the boys or girls teams in Section 6 playing every day. For the girls, quarter finals started March 22 when No. 7 Gowanda Panthers traveled to the No. 2 Chautauqua Lake Thunderbirds for what would be Gowanda’s last action of the basketball season. It was a close game for a good part of the first quarter. Gowanda’s Miya Scanlan hit a 3-pointer right away to give the Panthers a 3-0 opening lead. Chautauqua Lake quickly narrowed that to 3-2. Miya’s sister, Crissa Scanlan, put Gowanda back up by three before the Thunderbirds mounted their first challenge of the game, finally moving into an 8-7 lead. The lead bounced back and forth until Gowanda held their last lead of the game by a single point, 13-12. From that point, the Thunderbirds turned it up, scoring eight straight points to take a 20-13 advantage into the second period. In the second and third periods, Chautauqua Lake outscored Gowanda 18-7 and 18-9, respectively. With the game out of reach, 56-29 going into the final quarter, the game had mostly downgraded to practice for the bench players. Chautauqua Lake would only generate six points in that last period to nine for Gowanda leaving Chautauqua Lake on top 62-38 at the final buzzer. Miya Scanlan led the Panthers with 11 points including three 3-point scores. After a reasonable amount of success in the early going, Gowanda again had fallen into a scoring slump marked by a very low shooting percentage from the floor. This was very reminiscent of the home game with Randolph where the Panthers had controlled the game for the better part of the first three quarters. With 2:43 left in that game, Gowanda held a 40-26 lead. The Panthers would score only four more points in the rest of the game, opening the
door for Randolph to come back for a 57-44 win and allowing them to remain unbeaten. That same Cardinals team would face Chautauqua Lake in the semi-finals on March 24. A 53-40 win in that game and a 56-52 win over Frewsburg in the finals gave Randolph a perfect 18-0 season and the Class C title. The Gowanda boys basketball team did slightly better than the girls team in the playoffs. In a relatively low-scoring game, No. 8 Gowanda lost to No. 1 Riverside at Grabiarz School of Excellence in the quarter-finals on March 22. Still, it was a close game with Gowanda only falling just 10 points short, losing 49-39. Riverside advanced to the finals with a 94-86 win over Portville. They would eventually lose in the finals to Tapestry Charter 93-72. AS APRIL begins, football, volleyball and the competitive cheer squad will all be in action for Gowanda in the second part of the delayed fall sports season. Spring football promises to be an interesting “once in a lifetime” experience that has been eagerly awaited in the village. The team will be under the guidance of a new coach as Tyler Thompson has taken over the team. The district also commented this week that they are “so excited” for the upcoming volleyball season with 49 girls registering for the team on the first day of sign-ups. In other local sports news, Gowanda girls are having a major impact on the JCC Swimming team. On March 22, Jamestown Community College posted a 122-75 win over Genesee Community College. Two Gowanda girls played a significant part in that victory. Megan Stang went three for three in the meet. She took first in 1650Y Freestyle (23:20.01), 500Y Freestyle (6:48.19) and 200Y Breaststroke (3:06.88). Her 500Y Freestyle time was a

Mayor continued from 1 er Brook is a longstanding threat to residents and businesses in the village, but an agreement involving the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the state Department of Environmental Conservation calls for a $10 million diversion structure to remove that threat forever. “I’m very happy about it,” Mayor David Smith said earlier this year. “My number one initiative since taking office in 2017 has been to eliminate the threat of flood-
ing from Thatcher Brook.” The most recent serious flooding in 2009 caused $90 million in damage and destruction. It also forced the Tri-County Hospital to close. That $90 million would be closer to $120 million in 2020 dollars, Smith said. The diversion ditch — both above ground and a large underground culvert — would be automatically opened by rising water and the speed of the flow. It would divert water from Thatcher Brook at the steel deck bridge on Hill Street in a channel following the railroad tracks, discharging directly into Cattaraugus Creek. “This project will eliminate the flood plain and

eliminate the need for residents to purchase flood insurance every year,” Smith said in January. It will also increase property values by 23% to 25%. “It will divert the floodwaters before it flows through a major portion of the village,” Smith said. “Even in a 200-year rain event, there would be no catastrophic flooding like we’ve had in the past.” Smith said the Army Corps of Engineers will pay 65% of the $10 million price tag, with the Department of Environmental Conservation and the village splitting the remaining 35%. The village has a $1 million state grant obtained several years ago by former

State Sen. Catharine M. Young and a healthy budget surplus to pay its share of the project. The $10 million Thatcher Brook Flood Mitigation is part of a total $18.5 million of project support that Gowanda will be receiving. The Waterfront Development will receive $2.5 million of that number, which helped improve Gateway Park and the Hollywood Theater. Regarding the 2021-22 budget, Smith said that the village will be slightly reducing its tax levy for the year, by 0.03%. The increase will result in a 1.38 percent tax increase in Erie County. In Cattaraugus County, due to equalization rates, there will be a 0.08% tax decrease.

The 2021 American Legion Boys State program will be held virtually this year
from June 27-July 1, 2021.A richly rewarding and educational program where the selection serves as testimony to a participant’s character and leadership skills and is an experience recognized by employers, U.S. service academies and university admissions boards as an indicator of strong leadership and character traits.
SILVER CREEK – Juniors and seniors at Silver Creek High are planning a prom event to celebrate the end of the 2020-2021 academic year and are asking for the public’s support via a can/bottles and plastics drive. The community is encouraged to support these Black Knights by donating refundable cans at Can Kings, 1267 Routes 5 & 20 in Silver
