MANAGING EDITOR
There are times you just forget. You forget they are only kids. Kids that have made a life changing decision. They look invincible in their dress uniforms. They look like they can change the world. That nothing can hurt them. But, remember, they are just like you and I. The only difference is they are going to be serving our country in just a couple of years, helping to protect the freedom that many of us enjoy.
But, at the end of the day, they are college students. “We get personified as these invincible, tough human beings,” stated West Point Firstie Maria Manna. “But, none of us are like that. We all love being ourselves and doing things like shopping and playing sports. What normal people like to do.” For Williamsville South High School graduate Maria Manna she grew up not knowing much about the military life. She didn’t come from a military family. So, when the United States Military Academy at West Point came to St.
Gregory the Great one day she was hooked. Maybe it was the awe of the dress gray uniforms the Cadets were wearing that day. Maybe it was the sense of pride she had watching them sing for everybody. Whatever the case was, Manna knew she wanted to follow the path of the military. She wanted to get an Ivy League education, while serving her country in the process.

New Non-Surgical Protocol For Neuropathy What is Neuropathy? Neuropathy is a collection of disorders that occurs when nerves of the peripheral nervous system are damaged. The condition is generally referred to as peripheral neuropathy. In the United States, over 20 million people suffer from peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy can be brought on by a number of different causes including diabetes, back problems, and certain drugs. Damaged nerves send incorrect signals to the brain causing scattered messages resulting in numbness, burning, tingling, and sharp pain sensations that are usually felt in the feet, legs, hands or arms. Symptoms associated with the motor portion of the nerve may also include muscle weakness, cramping and spasms as well as a lack of coordination and poor balance.
Traditional Treatments: Over the years, neuropathy treatments in general have had poor results at best. Many medications are used that have significant side effects and poor outcomes. Only recently have we had a promising breakthrough to help reduce the symptoms of neuropathy with lasting results.
Are you Experiencing Pins & Needles? Numbness and Tingling? Pain or Burning in your Feet or Hands? New Non-Surgical Protocol for Neuropathy: A new development in Class IV laser technology called Deep Tissue Laser Therapy has been shown to improve the function of the blood vessels that feed the nerves by sending radiant infrared energy deep into the walls of the blood vessels and tissues that surround the injured nerves. This improves the elasticity and function of the blood vessels. As the blood vessels become healthier, the nerves begin to thrive. Additionally, Electroanalgesic Treatment is used to reduce the ability of the affected nerves to transmit pain signals and promote healing by means of the depolarization effects on the nerve cells. This computer-assisted treatment offers exemplary patient success in the treatment of PAIN, without piercing the skin. Moreover, therapies including Whole Body Vibration and Hydromassage are designed to improve circulation, strength and balance.

Daemen earns fourth top school distinction Daemen College has been selected as a Top School in the 2015 Military Advanced Education’s Guide to Colleges and Universities, making it the fourth time the college has received this national designation. The guide, which was released in the December issue of Military Advanced Education (MAE), represents the result of a questionnaire of militarysupportive policies at more than 600 institutions across the country. It’s intended to arm students with information about colleges and universities that go out of their way to give back to men and women in uniform. “Receiving this national distinction represents Daemen’s longstanding
commitment to providing the best resources and support to help our student veterans be successful in their educational endeavors,” said Daemen President Gary A. Olson. “We are grateful to once again be recognized by Military Advanced Education.” Selection for the guide was based on military culture, financial aid, flexibility, on-campus support, and online support services. The Daemen Center for Veterans and Veteran Family Services provides assistance, resources, support, and advocacy to help student veterans be successful in college and after graduation. In addition, the Nancy Haberman Gacioch Center for Veterans offers a centralized place on campus for veterans to go to study and connect with fellow students who have served in the military. The college also has an active Student Veterans Alliance and holds several veteran-related activities and events during the year. Daemen’s selection as an MAE Top School marks the second distinction
recently received by the Amherst-based institution for its commitment to student veterans. The college was also named to Victory Media’s 2015 Military Friendly Schools list, which is awarded to only the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country.

Wegmans’ $50,000 donation to Food Bank of WNY is a gift for affected agencies In the aftermath of the surprise November storm that crippled many communities, the Food Bank of Western New York will use a $50,000 donation from Wegmans, and funds from other donors designated toward disaster relief efforts, to procure and distribute food in areas hardest hit by the storm. More than 30 member agencies were heavily impacted by the recent storm, including those in the areas of Cheektowaga, Lackawanna, Orchard Park, Silver Creek, Springville, South Buffalo and West Seneca. These funds will be used to replenish the shelves at the Food Bank and designated member agencies. Each agency will receive monies ranging from $1,600 for small agencies to $3,400 for large agencies to acquire food from the Food Bank and distribute it to local families in our community. Collectively, these member agencies distribute an average of 179,480 meals to 24,000 people each month.
“Knowing the damage that the storm caused, we reached out to the Food Bank of Western New York and learned they could use our help,” said Michele Mehaffy, Consumer Affairs Manager at Wegmans Food Markets. “We are grateful for the opportunity to help restock local pantries devastated by the storm. As a longtime supporter of the Food Bank of WNY, we will continue to help in its mission, providing hunger relief in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties.” During the height of the storm the Food Bank of WNY was called upon by New York State to deliver food to an agency in Lackawanna where members of the National Guard delivered packages of food to families in need. In an effort to assist the Food Bank in replenishing its supply of food, Governor Andrew Cuomo encouraged companies and residents to donate. HSBC Bank responded with a donation of $25,000 for disaster

First Niagara donated $2,500 and customers added more than $1,000 in donations. Citizens Bank also donated $3,000. “We are grateful to all who donated to the disaster relief efforts and we are extremely grateful to Wegmans. They care, and it genuinely shows in their yearround commitment to our community,” said Marylou Borowiak, President and CEO of the Food Bank of WNY. “These monies will have a significant impact in assisting our local families in need.” Darlene Sery of the Catholic Charities Food Pantries said, “We are grateful for the assistance we received from the Food Bank during the November storm.

to our agencies so we could distribute to our clients in need. Because of the hard work and the dedication of the Food Bank staff, we were able to provide our clients with food in a timely manner. We now thank them for this opportunity to restock our shelves.” “This is such wonderful news,” added Linette Crelly of the Southern Tier Food Pantry at Trading Post in Springville. “Hundreds of families in our service area who live paycheck to paycheck lost many days of work and pay due to the storm. This is very difficult, especially during the holiday season. We have seen a much larger number of first time clients coming to us for help. This food will help us meet the growing number of clients we serve. We thank everyone for this donation.” “What a blessing these disaster relief funds will be to our clients,” said Brent Doyle of the Southtowns Christian Center’s Feed My Sheep food pantry.

Graduation to bring on new set of challenges

West Point • from front “West Point Catholic Choir came to my church [St. Gregory the Great] when I was in sixth grade. Before that I had never heard of West Point,” explained Manna. “When they came they looked very impressive in their uniforms and I was able to talk with them afterward. I just had that vision of being a Cadet. With my personality, I was a natural fit.” But, like most young men and women who attend one of the three academies, the reality of academy life hits you straight in the face. Becoming a member of the prestigious Long Gray Line isn’t easy. It isn’t handed to you on a silver platter. You need to work for it. You need to be committed to the cause. Committed to the military lifestyle and training, while still going to class and participating in other activities, like sports and Glee Club. “We take certain classes at West Point, like survival swimming,” stated Manna. “This is where you learn to swim with your gear.
It is very difficult being 130-pounds and carrying 45-pounds of gear in the water, while trying not to drown. The nickname for the class is Cow [Junior year] drowning. The standards in this class are the same for men and women.” Manna is a singer. She sings at West Point and has been able to travel around the United States to perform. Not many people can say they have been able to perform in front of thousands of people at Yankee Stadium, but she can. “Being in Glee Club freshman year I was able to leave almost every weekend,” said Manna. I traveled to Kentucky and was able to sing at some military balls. Members of the club were also invited to perform at some major sporting events. The Houston Texans and New York Rangers invited members of the Glee Club down to sing the national anthem. So, that was really exiting because it’s kind of a get out of jail free card. You get to hang out with your friends
outside of school, which is something that you normally can’t do your freshman year.” Four years have flown by for Manna since she was that wide-eyed Plebe (Freshman) from Williamsville. Because of some bumps and bruises she sustained during training, Manna is due to graduate from the academy in December of 2015. “I injured myself a few times,” explained Manna. “So, instead of a normal Firstie who will graduate in May, I will graduate in December. I had to go on medical leave for eight months, after having a couple of surgeries. That was really hard to overcome.” Like every other young man or woman who attends West Point, you have until the first class of your junior year to opt out. There is no shame in leaving after your sophomore year. There is a lot of soul searching. You start asking yourself questions like, “Why did I attend the academy in the first place?”
For an advertising consultation please contact:
Many choose the academy in the beginning because they are in awe of the tradition and everything that comes with being a West Point Cadet. By the end of their sophomore year, Cadets reevaluate why they came to West Point in the first place. For Manna, she knew she wanted to be there. She knew why she took the path to being a graduate of West Point Pictured from the United States Military and part of the storied history of the Long Gray Line. Academy West Point, left to right, are: “I would say probably Devin Long (Georgia), Maria Manna 85-percent of people con(Williamsville), Andrew Mohr sider leaving at some point,” stated Manna. “If you ask (Williamsville). most Cadets, ‘Why did you go to West Point?’ It’s much she embraces. She is looking different than ‘Why did you that was the right decision.” Graduation will bring on forward to seeing what life stay at West Point?’ I evaluated whether I should stay an entirely new set of chal- has in store for her during her and chose to stay. And, I think lenges for Manna, but one five-year tour of duty.

ECC celebrates continued success through program Back in spring 2012, Erie County’s community college students couldn’t take advantage of a New York grant program that allows volunteer firefighters to receive tuition reimbursement in exchange for first responder service. Fast forward to the days leading into 2015, when Erie Community College officials can now boast the state’s highest enrollment numbers under the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York Higher Education Learning Plan. And thanks to this increased attendance— with nearly 150 students registered as of the Fall 2014 semester—ECC can also report over $500,000 in additional student tuition due to opportunities afforded under the FASNY plan. “I am pleased to learn that a notable number of students are taking advantage of the FASNY tuition program and committing themselves to serve their volunteer fire company,” said Erie County Legislator Edward Rath, a leading proponent of the program and its benefits to county residents. “This program is a great benefit for the community, fire departments, ECC and students. I hope that we continue to see an increase in participation and applaud those who have enrolled in the program, earning a quality education while serving those in need.” The Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) developed the plan as an incentive for people to serve in volunteer fire service. New York’s volunteer fire departments are currently experiencing a critical need to recruit and retain members. As an incentive for people to serve, FASNY developed the Higher Education Learning Plan (FASNY HELP).
This program provides tuition reimbursement to individuals attending community college for up to eighty (80) credit hours and, according to ECC President Jack Quinn, provides area residents yet another way to take advantage of the threecampus college’s careerfocused education. “We at ECC are very proud of the successes we’ve experienced through the FASNY program,” said Quinn. “We’re here for the community, so we’re thrilled to offer area residents yet another way to pursue affordable educational opportunities.” According to ECC FASNY Tuition Representative Tom Chmielowiec, the college has taken in approximately $534,603.41—from a combination of FASNY assistance, TAP and PEL grant monies, and student payment—since the program’s inception in fall 2012. He also reports that 204 students are currently on ECC’s roster to apply for FASNY assistance, and the college plans to welcome more applications as the successes of the program spread across the region. “ECC is very proud and honored to be part of the FASNY Program and to be able to serve our firefighters with the education needs they have,” said Chmielowiec, who reports that students are currently enrolled in 18 of ECC’s FASNY-approved programs like Criminal Justice and Nursing. Under FASNY HELP, student-volunteers are eligible to have up to 100% of their tuition reimbursed in exchange for maintaining their grades and fulfilling defined service requirements. They must also be a “member in good standing” in one of New York’s volunteer fire companies during both their
school years and service payback period. And, if they’re in good standing, they’ll be good firefighters on the job, something Steve DiPasquale—a 39year member of the North Amherst Volunteer Fire Department—notes as essential to Erie County. “It’s with great pride to know that the volunteer firemen of Erie County have embraced the program, utilized it as it was meant to be and, in the end, ECC has benefitted greatly,” said DiPasquale. “This program has been a win for all of Erie County and I would like to thank everyone that was involved from the beginning and congratulate all on a job well done.” It’s not too late for new students/recruits to take advantage of the HELP grant for the spring semester. As outlined by FASNY, students who meet the requirements, including a 4.0 GPA, are eligible for full reimbursement. Students recording a 3.03.99 GPA receive 85 percent reimbursement and a GPA between 2.02.99 earns them 75 percent reimbursement. The grant program also requires that students/volunteers meet the necessary service demands of their fire department. Interested residents can learn more about the program by contacting their local fire department. For information on the program or to simply apply, go online to www.fasny. com/index.php/resources/ fasny-help; contact ECC’s Tom Chmielowiec at chmielowiect@ecc.edu; or send e-mail to HELP@ fasny.com to the attention of John D’Alessandro, deputy volunteer programs coordinator, or call (855) 367-6933

Local sports Sweet Home falls just short in Ken-Ton Classic By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER
It was a tale of two basketball teams that have more in common than they probably even realize. Mark Taylor went 2 of 2 from the line with 32.3 seconds left in the game to help Kenmore West secure a 56-55 win over Sweet Home in the opening game of the Ken-Ton Holiday Classic that was held at Kenmore East Dec. 26-27. The win vaulted the Blue Devils into the title game against Cardinal O’Hara, but more importantly, it proved to be huge confidence booster for a talented team that has not found its rhythm as a group. “We needed this. We needed this one,” said Ken West coach Mike Meetze. “I said to them, ‘I think two weeks ago we lose this game.’ Down the stretch, we didn’t play with a lot of composure. We
played young, we had two first-year point guards on varsity. We threw the ball away a couple times, but we hit big free throws. We did enough with the ball down the stretch in the last minute and got some pretty good communication in the last play to get a 15foot runner off the glass.” Jordan Heine, who led all scorers with 18 points, set the stage for the Panthers last-gasp attempt at the hoop when he sank a bucket with 20 seconds left. Sweet Home got one final look at the basketball, as Meetze alluded to, but the Blue Devils’ defense was able to bat away the attempted buzzer beater to hang on for their second win of the year. Almost mirror images of each other, the Panthers and Blue Devils both have very athletic, skilled players. But both teams entered the Ken-Ton Classic still searching for a way to bring all of the pieces of the puzzle together. Tied 10-10 after the first quarter, the Blue Devils began to turn the tide in their favor when Trent White (13 points) hit a two-pointer and Jon Lo-
renzo went a perfect 4 of 4 from the line. Ken West took a 28-22 lead into halftime. The combination of Heine, Jordan Evert (16) and Brandon Smiley kept Sweet Home in the game and pulled it within one point, 54-53, just prior to Mark Taylor’s winning free throws. “They were huge. Huge,” Meetze said of Taylor’s frees. “He struggled early on in the game, he had six turnovers in the first three quarters, for him to come back and play with that composure down the stretch is a credit to him.” For Panthers coach Scott Martin, it was back to the drawing board to see what they could do to get better results in the weeks and months ahead. “Right now we’re clearly a work in progress,” said Martin. “We have a lot of very good athletes, kind of similar to Ken West. We just don’t have that one (pure) basketball kid to kind of get us over the top.” The Blue Devils would fall to O’Hara, 55-52, in the title game while Sweet Home beat Kenmore East in the third place game.

Stallions tie Wheatfield Blades, down Hamburg Hawks The Mite Major Clarence Stallions and Wheatfield Blades faced off on Dec. 19 at Hockey Outlet. For the Stallions, Luke Marchant (Clarence) opened the scoring with a breakaway goal. Defenseman and former
Wheatfield Blade Drew Idzik (North Tonawanda), then recorded a goal. On a partial breakaway, Miles Santa Maria (Amherst) rang a shot in off the goaltender’s left post. Liam Graham (Clarence) slid a shot into the net on
an odd-man rush to put the Stallions up 4-3 in the third. For Wheatfield, TJ Bamrick (of Amherst) contributed to all four goals, cashing in with three of his own and adding a helper. Easton Larrabee and Mat-
thew Myhalenko each assisted one of Bamrick’s goals. The Wheatfield goal that Bamrick set up was recorded by Owen Tylec, and it was Bamrick’s third goal that salvaged a tie for the Blades. •••
The Stallions defeated the Lakeview Hawks of Hamburg, 5-1, on Dec. 20, building their offense on solid defense. Stallions’ defensemen Owen McIntyre, Tucker Schoen, Maximus Henning (Clarence) and Idzik permitted
only seven shots on net. Goals for the Stallions were had by: Marchant (two), Alex Fulfaro (Amherst), Nic Zivis (Clarence) and Santa Maria. Assists were had by Cameron Stadelmaier (Wheatfield) and Santa Maria.
