Simply Italiano brings a little Tuscany to WNY By Amy Robb LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT
Residents of Lancaster will now only have to go around the corner to get a taste of Italy. Simply Italiano welcomed patrons Wednesday for a soft opening of the store and ribbon cutting ceremony, offering delicacies like espresso and baked goods from Gino’s Italian Bakery. “We’re so happy to be an outlet for Gino’s coffee and cakes, with roughly 30 years of experience in Buffalo,” said Paul Lista, coowner of Simply Italiano. The event took place from 5 to 8 p.m. that night, with goods arriving earlier in the day, just in time for the big event. Guests sipped their espresso and snacked on fresh baked cookies, while listening to Maria Angelova and Ben Baia of Big City Horns sing Italian classics, accompanied by one of our very own Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra’s pianists, Michael T. Jones. Located at 85 Central Ave., in the Village of Lancaster, Simply Italiano is the result of a passion for all things Italian by owners Paul and Ellen Lista. The couple even got married in Italy, first going to an Italian consulate in Buffalo and then making the move to Milan, as well as Florence, where they stayed before marriage in the heart of the Tuscan region, a small village called

Owners of Simply Italiano Ellen and Paul Lista. Volterra. It’s a family affair too, with their five sons, Anthony, Nicolas, Joseph, Dominic, and Alex, supporting the couple in their new business venture. A couple of the brothers were there, along with a grandson, to help behind the counter for the big opening. The Listas spent several months living and breathing the Italian lifestyle, and it became such a passion that they brought it back with them. “We worked hard at the Italian language and food, met artisans with different
products, and even stayed at some bed and breakfasts there,” said Paul. Almost everything on Simply Italiano’s shelves is imported from Italy, including olive oil, artisan pasta and rustic sauces. Italian spices like basil, thyme, garlic, and oregano will be available through Prima Oliva, and Christopher James will have his photography work available, highlighting Buffalo and Western New York. “We do what we can to be interactive with the community. We want everyone to grow and help
each other out in any way possible,” added Paul. Lavazza coffee will be offered as well, in addition to fresh espresso made with an ornate machine imported from Milan. “Lavazza is a premium coffee, manufactured in Rome with a unique, smoky flavor. Almost like a buttery flavor. That’s why so many people drink it… it’s so good,” said Paul. The Listas want to make the store a multi-sensory experience, not just about the food (although it does shine through). Judy, a university Italian professor,
Ribbon cutting ceremony held. will be skyped in via a large television in the store to teach patrons how to order in Italian, along with other quick phrases. It creates a memorable, immersive experience other than picking up some premium olive oil and imported pasta. The building itself is also a part of that immersive experience, with 12-foot ceilings, beautiful hard wood floors and exposed brick walls. In between shelves
of items you’ll find a 1985 Vespa parked in the shop too, a vehicle synonymous with Italy. Call 68-ITALY (6848259) for more information, or visit the store’s Facebook page: facebook. com/pages/Simply-Italiano. The specialty store will soon have their own website, simply-italiano.com, after the New Year. Stay tuned for updates on their Facebook page.

Christmas party held for families in need By Sallie Moppert LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT
More than 100 local families gathered together Saturday, Dec. 20 at the Depew Senior Center, located in the Depew Village Hall, for some festive holiday fun. Depew Mayor Steve Hoffman, the Depew Village Board, the Tri-Community Food Pantry and the Village Preservation Party of Depew hosted its annual Christmas party to benefit some of the families in need this holiday season. The families were treated to food, music, a visit from Santa Claus and the children received some presents that were donated by the community for the event. “One of the things that I enjoy most about this event is being able to make the holiday special for our families,” Mayor Hoffman

gether to help those in need during the holiday season. This year, some of the many organizations and people that have donated to the party include: Riva’s Pizza, who donated the pizza; Tops donated the cookies; the Preservation Party of Depew donated the chocolate milk, orange juice, ice cream and more; and St. Martha’s donated the gifts to the children through its annual Giving Tree fundraiser. In addition, Mayor Hoffman and some other members of the community also collected extra toys for the children. The toys that were collected through donations
from the community were given to the children on the day of the party so that they had a present to open during the party. Because of the great generosity on behalf of the community, there were enough gifts for the families to take home so the children would have something to open up on Christmas morning. This was the first time that the families were able to be given gifts to take home to open up on Christmas. As Sandra Pieczynski from the Tri-Community Food Pantry said, it was wonderful to be able to give Santa a little bit of help this holiday. “I love seeing the smiles on the children’s faces when they see Santa and get their presents,” Pieczynski added. “They love being able to have fun with
their new gifts while enjoying some cookies and ice cream too.” As the holiday season comes to a close and the new year rolls in, the families from the Christmas party that depend on the assistance of the Tri-Community Food Pantry will still be in need of supplies and food. The staples that the pantry is always in need of include: tuna, peanut butter, vegetables, soup, fruit and jelly. The pantry is also able to accept perishable food items and is able to pick up items to be donated. The distribution times and days for families are from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays. To donate or for more information, contact Pieczynski at 308-7352.

In honor of the week of Veterans Day, Erie Community College gathered with local veterans, police and fire departments, and community members to proudly unveil its first responder-focused Fallen Heroes Memorial Park— dedicated to students who’ve lost their lives in the line of police, fire or military duty— on Thursday, November 13 outside ECC’s North Campus Law Enforcement Training Academy. “This park stands as a tribute to those ECC alums that made the ultimate sacrifice,” said ECC President Jack Quinn. “It will now be a place for others to remember and honor to their sacrifice for decades to come.” The park—aided by donations from such local Western New York companies as Campobello Construction, Lakeside Sod, Love Joy Metals, Inc. and Occhino Paving; design and construction work from the college’s Architecture Technology, Construction Technology and Visual Communications students; and completion by ECC’s Maintenance and Grounds Department— features trees and flowered latticework; steel silhouettes of veterans, police officers

The Lancaster Opera House will be putting on “The Littlest Snow Monster, “ an original winter tale by Adam Kreutinger, Cameron Garrity, and Zach Haumesser, at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Saturday Dec. 27 and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 28. The show is considered a semi-musical, with four songs where a traditional musical would normally have about 14. The show is also a lot shorter, an hour long with intermission, in order to accommodate the younger members of the family, even though it’s written with all family members in mind. “It’s a treat for young kids, but it’s a perfect family show…there’s a little something for parents to enjoy too. Like pop culture references, things like that,” said Kreutinger. The show tells the story of Monty, the littlest snow monster, and his adven-
tures through a magical arctic land to bring back the ancient Alp Horn from the clutches of an evil Ice Queen. It’s Monty’s turn to shine, blowing the alp horn to kick off the 16 Millionth Olympics, but the queen has something else in mind. “Her birthday is the same day as the monster Olympics, so she’s upset no one recognizes her birthday,” explained Kreutinger, giving a motive and human quality to the queen. In his quest to get the alp horn back, Monty makes lifelong friends, and finds strength in himself he didn’t know was there through his adventures. The production is being done with puppets, animated through actors dressed in black and giving voice and facial expressions to the characters. With a small cast of seven, the actors play multiple characters, adjusting their voices and mannerisms to match the character they are holding. The only exception to this is the lead who plays Mon-
ty, and the Ice Queen, an actress in costume rather than a puppeteer. Puppets range from little Monty and the other villagers, to the nearly 7-foot tall polar bear puppet. Kreutinger, who produced the show in addition to writing it, became interested in puppeteering when he was hired as an assistant puppeteer for the opera house’s showing of Little Shop of Horrors back in 2008. “I discovered it is an amazing art form,” said Kreutinger, who is an art teacher by day and has performed as a professional magician in the past. In fact, he loved the puppeteering medium so much that he entered to be a part of the reality show Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge on Syfy, making it to the semifinals. “It’s a piece of art that has two lives…a sculptural life, including making design choices, sculpting the foam, and adding core attributes, and a second life… able to be performed,”

‘Stony Brook Shines for Others’ keeps on giving By Sallie Moppert LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT
The residents of the Stony Brook Subdivision in Lancaster have already gotten into the holiday spirit. And with the holiday spirit comes the spirit of giving to others. The Stony Brook Shines for Others event has returned for its 7th year of raising money for local charities while spreading holiday cheer through decorations across the eight streets. Event creator Jen-
nifer Chomen explained that this charity event came out of a time when things in Buffalo weren’t the best. “It all began while I was walking down the street after the October storm,” Chomen said. “Everything was a mess and I was feeling sad, only to realize that the trees happened to survive for the most part. I saw all of the kids playing and enjoying themselves and thought that we have to do something to connect the two ideas, trees and kids, while helping others.” The trees across the eight

In fact, the success of the Stony Brook Shines for Others has spread throughout Western New York. A woman in Tonawanda, who had stopped by Stony Brook to see a friend, saw the event and then brought the idea back to her neighborhood. The Moore Avenue Shines event takes place in Tonawanda and the money it raises is added to what is raised at Stony Brook Shines. “It is so nice to see that people are lighting the neighborhoods but also donating, as that is what it is truly all about.” Chomen said.

term, as he was first elected to the county wide post in November of 2011. Jacobs was re-elected this November with 67 percent of the votes cast. In his remarks Jacobs thanked his employees at the clerk’s office, “I want you, my staff, to know that your hard work, professionalism and the courtesy in which you deal with our citizens is very much appreciated,” stated Jacobs. Since taking office, Jacobs has solved the major crisis in the clerk’s real estate division where he dis-
covered millions of dollars of uncashed checks and more than 100,000 unreturned mortgages. Over the last two years, Jacobs has recorded a $4 million surplus while introducing new technologies to the auto bureaus, such as an online reservation system. Jacobs has also become known for his success with the Erie County “ThankA-Vet” Program, the largest of its kind in New York State, which now has more than 1,000 area businesses offering discounts to Erie County veterans.

Lancers best Redskins at tourney, remain undefeated By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER
The look on the face of Lancaster High boys basketball coach John Otto said it all on Saturday, Dec. 20. Exhaustion. Dejection. That’s because his Redskins had seemingly outplayed local rival St. Mary’s on the hardwood that day but still couldn’t stave off the streaking Lancers. Instead, St. Mary’s played strong down the stretch and upped their record to 5-0 after topping Lancaster 61-56 in round one of the Wildcat Tournament at Depew High. It dropped Lancaster to 4-3. “The stress level got up and we started to turn the ball over; some of it unforced,” Otto said after the game. “Then it came down to a one possession game and we probably gave away four or five possessions unforced, which hurt us.” The energy was also quite electric down the stretch in Depew but Otto said that shouldn’t have affected his boys. “We’re a fairly experienced
team, so I would hope that didn’t play much of a part in it,” he said. “I just think (St. Mary’s) came out with a little bit more intensity and picked up the pressure some (in the second half). They got all the loose balls and the long rebounds, which is a big part of it. That showed a lot of heart for their team.” That heart, though, needed a boost at halftime when the Lancers went into the locker room down by 10 after a slew of turnovers in the early going. “The kids looked like they had just lost their puppy; like the game was over,” St. Mary’s head coach Paul Rath explained, “but I said, ‘Guys, we can score 10 points in a minute,’ and they bought into it. And once we got the lead, the kids got their mojo back and they were ready.” “We did turn the ball over a lot in the first half and we weren’t on the glass a lot on the defensive side,” added St. Mary’s junior Takal Molson, who ended with a game-high 25 points, “but the coach told us at halftime to be more aggressive on the defensive side and take care of the ball.” The result was St. Mary’s ty-

To begin the fourth, Rath received a technical foul after berating the referee. It turned a two-point Redskin lead into four after Collin Murray sank both free throws. St. Mary’s, though, continued to battled back and tied it again at 48 with a
pairTony Robinson free throws. Then, with about two and half minutes left in regulation, the Lancers took a slim lead that they hung onto until the final buzzer, thanks—in large part— to nailing all eight of their last free throws down the stretch. “That’s a big hat’s off to the kids for taking that deep breathe and stroking it through,” Rath said. “Hats off to the kids for
sticking with it and believing in themselves, you know?” Aside from Molson, Lancer Jacob Concannon was a big part of that when the senior nailed 12 points on the night. They were the only two in double digits for the visitor, though, while three Redskins hit that mark, including Tyler Lis (12), Collin Murray (11) and Alex Damiani (11)—three
guys that also played a big part in Lancaster’s early takeaways. “We were trying to make that perfect tight little pass,” Rath explained, “but we needed to make the smart pass, you know? Value the possession, and we did, and we finally got into a little rhythm against their zone. “It’s not so much being undefeated,” he added. “It’s about having good play out there and going with the flow. But being undefeated is nice right now and so is beating one our rivals, so the kids had a lot of fun doing that.” “It was a big character test to see us come back from a 10-point game,” Molson added, “so that was real good.” Lancaster, on the other hand, has to go back to the drawing board and rebound from here, and Otto is confident that can do just that. They just need one thing. “We need some leaders to take control in the locker room,” he said. “Hopefully they do that and we can move on.” Later in the day, host Depew nipped City Honors 52-51 to advance to Monday’s tourney title game, which was played after early holiday deadlines.

Blujus progressing as player, joins Lightning’s AHL affiliate By Matthew Ondesko MANAGING EDITIOR
Living up to expectations can be a burden on a young athlete at times. If you do as well as projected, then you were supposed to be that good. If you struggle, then you are considered in some circles to be a bust. Syracuse Crunch defenseman Dylan Blujus has the jury still out on him. A highly touted prospect when he entered high school, Blujus was considered the next big thing. A tall, physical defenseman, Blujus was an instant contributor for coach Terry Miller and the Canisius Crusaders. Even at the age of 14, there was already talk about where Blujus was going to play his college hockey — and what people though of him moving forward. “When I was young, I was looking to play college hockey, and there was a lot of pressure to getting into the right school,” explained Blujus. “When it comes down to it, you just have to enjoy the game. You are young. Just go out and play and the game will take you where it has to take you. And that’s exactly what it did.” Funny how things have a way of working themselves out sometimes. Blujus only played one year for the Canisius hockey team before following Miller and playing for the Buffalo Regals. After a couple of years for the Regals, Blujus took his talents to the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). “I don’t think it was a
tough decision,” said Blujus on his decision to play juniors over attending college. “Back in the day, my advisor told there was an opportunity in Brampton. I took my chance and it was a great choice. There was a great coaching staff there. And it really worked out for me.” During his stint with Brampton and North Bay, Blujus was drafted in the second round of the National Hockey League entry draft by the Tampa Bay Lighting, where he just signed a three-year entry level contract — and was assigned to the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League (AHL). “It has been going pretty well,” stated Blujus. “Coming into Syracuse was nice, and I was a little familiar with the city and everything. I kind of know some of the guys from some of the NHL camps. So the transition has gone pretty well.” Getting to the AHL almost didn’t happen for Blujus as he suffered a knee injury while playing for North Bay. It was the first major injury of his young career. It was one he had to fight back from. Blujus did, and led all defenseman last year with 26 assists to go along with his four goals. “Luckily through my hockey career I have been healthy.” said Blujus. “It could have been a lot worse. I was only out about month. I think coming back from the injury I was a little slow, because it never happened to me before. But after a lit bit, I just started to play my game. And, that helped me out too.” Now that he is one step away from the NHL, Blujus

He uses Patrick Kane, Tim Kennedy and other Western New Yorkers that have gone on to play in the NHL as examples. “Some of the differences are you are playing against stronger, bigger, faster
players,” explained Blujus. “There is a lot let time on the ice. There is a lot less open ice. It was tough in the beginning, but I am getting used to it now. And I’m starting to play well. It’s a long process, but I know I have to work on a lot things.”
He also holds his high school and Regals coach Miller in high regards. Miller, known around WNY as an intense coach, demanded a lot from Blujus and the respect of the players on those teams. And, in the end, it paid off.
“I really enjoyed him as a coach,” stated Blujus. “He was definitely a big contributor in my progression in hockey.” Blujus has the tools to make it to the NHL. He just needs to play his game and make the right choices on the ice.

Local students given opportunity to study abroad “Qualified high school students are offered a unique opportunity to spend an academic year, three-month program or summer holiday in Europe, Asia, North and South America, New Zealand, Australia or South Africa as part of the ASSE International Student Exchange Program,” announced Leanne Bell, eastern director of ASSE. “Until a few years ago only a fortunate few could afford to spend a school year or summer abroad. ASSE has changed all of that,” Bell continued. Students 15 to 18 years of age qualify on the basis of academic performance, character references and a genuine desire to experience abroad with a volunteer host family in one of the many ASSE host countries. “ASSE families abroad are carefully screened to provide a caring environment in which students can learn the language and culture of their host country,” Bell explained. Summer exchange students live with a family abroad who might speak some English. Year and shorter-term three-month
program students need not have learned a foreign language as they receive language and cultural instruction as part of the ASSE program. ASSE students attend regular high school classes along with their new teenage friends. “ASSE exchange students learn by living the language and culture of their new host country,” Bell added. The ASSE International Student Exchange Programs was founded by the Swedish National Department of Education and cooperates with the Canadian Provincial Ministries of Education and the New Zealand Ministry of Education. ASSE also provides international opportunities for American families to host students from Europe, the Republics of the former Soviet Union (in the U.S.A.), South America, Asia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. These select students are 15 to 18 years old and will attend the local high school for a semester or an academic year. Students or families interested in more information about the ASSE programs should call 1-800-677-2773 or visit ASSE’s website at www.asse.com.

ECC community rallies together for annual holiday drive The holiday season is a time for communities to come together. For Erie Community College’s community, it’s a time to lift up fellow students pursuing a better future one class at a time. In a drive that was extended because of November’s “Winter Storm Knife,” ECC administration, faculty and students collaborated with the college’s Board of Trustees to collect and package offerings throughout their three campuses for their annual President’s Holiday Food Drive, which culminated at Williamsville’s North Campus on December 12. The student-led collection of non-perishable food items and/ or gift cards—which is now in its seventh year—will aid over 137 families within the college’s community, comprised of working students and their families who need an extra hand this holiday season. ECC President Jack Quinn and his staff have organized these efforts every year since he arrived at ECC in 2008. According to Quinn, it’s an effort that’s indicative of the altruism evident throughout the community
college’s campuses. “This drive is a true reflection of the holiday hearts within our hallways,” said Quinn. “We have our entire ECC family joining to give what they can to help our students. That’s school spirit, and it’s alive and well around here all year, but especially at this time of year.” Donations have been forthcoming since before Thanksgiving. The final offerings collected at North Campus—which consisted of more than 35 gift cards and enough food donations to fill over one hundred holiday care packages—will be distributed to families through ECC’s Student Services Office before Christmas. And since 2010, ECC’s Student Government Association (SGA) has teamed a separate toy drive with the President’s Office drive to form a collective initiative even more able to aid ECC students fraught with economic hardships. “The selfless nature of our college’s community has never ceased to amaze me,” said Quinn. “I’m not only thankful, but humbled to be a part of it.”

PICKS OF THE WEEK “Boyhood” (R) -- Over the course of 12 years, director Richard Linklater made a film about growing up in which we get to see an actor age. Mason (Ellar Coltrane) lives with his mom (Patricia Arquette) and his spastic older sister (Lorelei Linklater). Every so often, their rolling-stone dad (Ethan Hawke) comes back around to teach the kid a lesson about being a man or voicing his feelings. It’s a big story told in a series of small moments. Starting when he was just 7 years old, Ellar Coltrane worked on the film shoot with Linklater for a little while each summer. The result is Mason’s comingof-age story, in which we see how a contemplative boy caught between his estranged parents changes over years. It may not be the most life-altering story, but it truly is a unique moviewatching experience. “Get On Up” (PG-13) -James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, lived one of those lives made for musical biopics. He grew up impoverished in a dusty part of Georgia with an abusive father (Lennie James) and a mother who walked out (Viola Davis). Chadwick Boseman (the lead in last year’s Jackie Robinson biopic, “42”), brings Brown to life with a crackling energy and fervent commitment. Director Tate Taylor (“The Help”) shows the highs, lows and explosive performances that defined the man. Behind the scenes, Brown could be a tyrant and a monster consumed by drugs and ego, but a completely different vision comes out when he’s breaking himself down on stage. The wild use of flashbacks and uneven pacing can be

Ig, even with his boy-next-door looks, becomes the prime suspect and the most hated guy in town. Depressed and reviled over a crime he didn’t commit, Ig starts to grow horns, literally. As Ig’s visage becomes more devilish, people around him feel compelled to spill their darkest desires to him, seeking permission to do the bad things they really want to do. It’s a dark fantasy thriller comedy with a new twist, but it’s so distracted that it can’t settle on a tone. A lack
“Left Behind” (PG-13) -This is a religious disaster flick that goes light on the religion and comes out as an overall disaster. Nicolas Cage (oh yes) stars as Rayford Steele (cool name, bro), a morally impure airline pilot who gets left behind when the biblical rapture takes all of the good people to heaven. He’s flying a commercial jet over the Atlantic ocean when a bunch of people disappear, leaving only empty clothes behind. Rayford has to safely land the plane -- which seems pretty difficult, even though he’s a pilot -- while his college-age daughter wanders a partially emptied New York City.
