ORCHARD PARK SUN EDITOR

There is a fair chance that you might have spread Mentholatum vaporizing rub over your chest, to fend off a bad cough. Maybe you or a female companion recently purchased a Softlips cube for extra lip protection during the dry cold weather. Perhaps you swear by Rohto eye-drops for red and irritated eyes. But did you know that

the company responsible for these and many other household-name skin care products is based right here in Orchard Park? The Mentholatum Company, which operates its North American headquarters on Sterling Drive off Milestrip Road, is today one of the top manufacturers of skin care products in the world. The company, along with its parent company, Japan-based Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., also

manufacture Oxy acne medication, WellPatch, Natural Ice lip balm and Hada Labo Tokyo skin care products, among others. But Jean Legros, Mentholatum’s senior director of marketing, notes that while the company has a strong presence in national retailers and consumers’ minds, they are still dwarfed by some of their competitors, particularly Proctor & Gamble

Co., which manufactures the other iconic vapor rub, Vick’s. “Mentholatum competes with giants. It’s like David and Goliath,” said Legros, adding that Mentholatum also competes against the Fortune 500 corporation Johnson & Johnson. However, the company has staked out a position in both the American and international markets

through what Legros calls unique, top-quality skin care products. He says the company is in a strong position for growth; their goal is to double their revenue in the next five years. With this goal in mind, Mentholatum launched two new, innovative products in the last year. The first, the Softlips Cube, promises effective, soothing lip care, and comes

in a sleek, trendy design, aimed particularly for the female market. The other is a Nighttime variant of its original vapor rub, with “naturally soothing lavender” to provide gentler cough relief.

See Mentholatum Page 2

“We generally pride ourselves in the passion and the quality of our people to help us develop, produce and market all out of here in Orchard Park,” Legros said. “You talk about Buffalo (as} an AllAmerica City; I like to think that Mentholatum is one of these All-American brands. The Mentholatum Company was founded in 1889 by Albert Alexander Hyde, an early purveyor of the medicinal and topical benefits of menthol. Developing the vapor rub recipe which the company still uses today, he founded a partnership called The Yucca Company in Wichita, Kan. By 1906, the company changed its name to The Mentholatum Company, following the success of the original Mentholatum Ointment, and had opened an office in Buffalo. Several years later, in 1919, the company opened a factory on Niagara Street in Buffalo. The company found early success by marketing heavily in East Asia; they began selling to Japan in 1913 and today manufacture several of the leading skin care products the region.

became Mentholatum’s licensee, and in ’88, Rohto purchased Mentholatum. Legros says the two companies “realized (they) had synergies.” Throughout the ’90s, Rohto and Mentholatum began to market a number of innovative new skin care products and opened new factories in the U.K., Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and elsewhere. The company continued to expand its product line throughout the Aughts, and are now anticipating sales of $500 million in 2015. Mentholatum moved to its current location at 707 Sterling Drive in 1997. There they manufacture

and package a number of their popular products. The location also serves as their North American headquarters. And yet, despite manufacturing so many leading and trusted skin care products, Legros still feels as though Mentholatum’s presence goes unknown by most Buffalonians. “Some people know about Mentholatum, but our presence and the knowledge of our presence has been a little bit subdued,” Legros said.

Roycroft Campus Corporation, the Buffalo Zoo, the Food Bank of WNY and the Conners Children Center. The company also employs close to 200 residents, and they expect to create more jobs as they grow.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in partnership with Friends of Reinstein Woods, will be hosting its “Winter Wonderland” event from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7 at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve, located at 93 Honorine Drive in Depew. The Winter Wonderland event has been going on for roughly four years, but normally earlier in the season. In order to ensure more snowfall, it was pushed back to February. “Many people make New Year’s resolutions to live healthier and get out more,” said Center Director Meaghan Boice-Green. “This event is a great opportunity to explore new forms of outdoor recre-

ation in a beautiful setting.” With snowshoeing and cross country skiing offered, the event will definitely count as your exercise for the day. There will be a demonstration area where visitors can try snowshoes and crosscountry skis for free, and

rentals of only $2 for Reinstein members and $5 for non-members. There will also be toddler sleds available for $5, so parents can try out snowshoeing with small children in tow. In the event there is no snow, a foam board will be set up with a sheet covering it that kids can walk across

to simulate the experience. An ice-fishing demonstration will also take place in a small, manageable pond, so kids can actively participate without parents worrying about breaking ice. “It’s designed for kids… there’s a little area set up, and someone who educates them on how to operate the fishing rod,” said Boice-Green. It introduces people to ice fishing, and the tools used in the process, like an auger to make a hole in the ice, and the name of the ice fisherman, an ice angler. “Kids enjoy a chance to try this. It’s a very popular part of Winter Wonderland,” added Boice-Green. Reinstein’s snow art area will give children the chance to express themselves by creating snow sculptures, with volunteers

for guidance. If the snow level is low, Reinstein will also offer “snow paintings,” where visitors can “…create pictures in the snow with a stencil and spray bottles filled with colored water,” remarked Boice-Green. If conditions are right, visitors can even create colorful stencil designs on their snow sculptures. In addition to sculptures, kids can also test their snowball-throwing skills. You have been warned, unsuspecting passersby. A scavenger hunt will get families on the many nature trails Reinstein provides. “It’s an opportunity to highlight some of the activities happening, and get people outside exploring a little bit. Clues might involve a natural feature, or visiting one of the exhibits at the event,” said BoiceGreen. With the numerous maple trees that populate Reinstein Woods, it seemed only natural to have an exhibit on maple sugaring, especially since the season for this trade is right around the corner.

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski Youth, injuries and circumstance have taken its toll on the St. Mary’s High girls basketball team. Those factors came to a head when a feisty Mt. St.

Mary’s Thunder squad paid a visit to Lancaster on Friday, Jan. 23 and blasted the Lady Lancers 49-25. Another factor that loomed large in the picture, however, was a fantastic Thunder perimeter game that accounted for 27 of 35 first half points in three-pointers alone. Thunder guard Natalia Short nailed three of those bombs in the first half, and the 5-foot-8 senior finished with a game-high 12 points that helped her squad advance to 6-12.

“We’ve always been a shooting team and, tonight, we definitely got hot,” she said, “and once a couple people got hot, everybody got hot. Even one of our younger forwards hit a three, so that was nice.” St. Mary’s, on the other hand, only hit four threes on the entire night, and had a difficult time getting past the Thunder’s defensive pressure in the absence of starting point guard Hannah Pufpaff, who injured her ankle recently. “Our other guards are tiny and they’re really not strong with the ball,” Lady Lancer skipper Keith Junik said, “and then you take out our best guard and now you’re asking other people to do more, and that’s a tough gig.” Making the season even tougher for the Lady Lancers—who were led by Jena Zajac’s team-high 8 points— has been the fact that one of their starters has been out for one reason or another all season long, “so we haven’t been able to gel and go,” Junik said, “which is what I was hoping at the beginning of the year. But the girls are taking it in a positive manor; I mean, as positive as you can be after you lose a couple back-to-back games by 20 points.” This one was St. Mary’s’ fourth straight loss, dropping them to 8-9 during a tough league schedule. “And we don’t have a break,” Junik said. “There’s not a team in our league that’s a walk-over. Maybe at this point we might be for these guys, but for us we don’t have a walk-over game and we don’t have anywhere to get

healthy and learn how to do it without all this pressure.” The Thunder also had guard Molly Meegan out with an ankle injury on Jan. 23, but a deeper bench—and that effective high-pressure defense—helped keep the home team at bay. “Every player plays hard and gives it everything they have to get those steals or those 50-50 balls; you know, diving on the ground for them,” Short said, “and that’s something coach definitely prides us on over everything else. We work hard and a lot of people are seeing that.” It has created a three-game win streak for the Thunder, who have not lost to an unranked team all season.

“We’re actually know for our defense. Every coach says that,” Mt. St. Mary’s skipper Mike McCarthy said. “The defense we play, they don’t like playing against it. Our problem has always been putting the ball in the basket, and that takes time to do that but it’s coming along. “We’ve competed in every game we’ve played,” he added. “We have eight losses to Top 10 Western New York teams or Rochester teams or ranked in the state. We don’t have a loss to someone that isn’t ranked.” That experience, and the long-range bombs, though, is what took the Lady Lancers out of the game early—and they could never quite re-

cover. “You can’t defend everything,” Junik said, “plus we had something like 23 turnovers, so it’s frustrating as a coach. It’s upsetting because I know I’m putting girls in a position to fail, and that’s no fun. But we’re learning and getting better. We’re young with no seniors, so hopefully this will help us down the line. “But it’s tough because we keep putting girls in positions that they’re not prepared for mentally or physically, and in this league you can’t do that,” he added. “But even when we’re losing, I’m not yelling; I’m just teaching and trying to keep their spirits up.”

Local sports Lancaster’s Mastrangelo working way up wrestling ladder

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski

He may not be ranked yet, but Lancaster High sophomore Mason Mastrangelo is well on his way to getting there. In fact, the 285-pounder who actually tips the scales at just 240 on a heavy day, has beaten some impressive opponents this season, despite—or maybe because of—his smaller stature. The most impressive on that list just might be Williamsville East’s Pat Faracca in a 4-1 decision to win the top weight class at the Erie County Interscholastic Conference championships Jan. 16-17. Faracca—a senior, who was an honorable mention for week three and topped the list during weeks one and two on the Wrestling Review of Western New York website—was a nice feather in the cap for the young Mastrangelo, who has been wrestling since the seventh grade and who also plays football and lacrosse. “We worked him pretty hard

all match,” Redskins coach Ron Lorenz said of Mastrangelo’s ECIC title bout with Faracca. “Mason was on and he just took advantage. “He struggled a bit early in the year,” Lorenz added, “but he’s really come on lately.” Mastrangelo, too, would be the first to admit that his season has been far from perfect. His 17-10 record as of Jan. 23 when Clarence topped

Lancaster 42-31 is not exactly eye-popping and tangible proof that the youngster still has much to learn. But, as a sophomore, he also knows he’s just getting better and better every day. “In our last tournament (prior to the ECICs), I didn’t do too well,” he explained, “but I wanted to make up for it and get on the right track.” That resulted in a perfect

4-0 run at the two-day, highprofile tournament that did get Mastrangelo the biggest title of his young career. “It felt amazing,” he said. “Everyone was there by my side, so the support really helped … and the great coaching helps me improve every time I go out there.” Mastrangelo was speaking of Lorenz and assistant coaches Mikey Moran and

Brandon Becker, who also saw the youngster win the same junior varsity title last season—an experience that he put in his tool box for this time around. “It gave me a feel for things,” Mastrangelo said, “so when this year came, I was better prepared.” The difficult part this season, though, is that Mastrangelo routinely faces opponents that are older and more experienced than he is. Couple that with his lighter frame, and it should be a recipe for disaster, right? Wrong! “He’s little, but so much more athletic than most kids in that weight class,” Lorenz explained. “His endurance is off the charts, too, so he wears these kids down to exhaustion then out-wrestles them. His maturity level is something, too, plus he’s coming along quickly with his positioning, which helps him a lot.” Because of that, Lorenz is convinced that the sky’s the limit for Mastrangelo—including possible runs at Class AA and Section VI titles as this season goes on. Why? “Because of his athleticism, attitude and killer instinct,” Lorenz said. “And when he gets even more experience, he’s really going to be tough to beat. I mean, it’s all upside

and no downside with Mason because he’s just going to get bigger and better.” For now, though, Mastrangelo still has to deal with wrestling the bigger and more experienced kids out there, but just like an offensive lineman might be an obstacle for him as a D-lineman on the football field, he said “it makes me want to keep in shape, so I can eventually tire them out. It gives me a little motivation.”

LHS grapplers near top of WNY rankings Lancaster junior Tommy Michel (106) has been ranked on the Wrestling Review of Western New York website this season, too, along with seniors Tyler Hartinger (145) and Mitch Lattuca (220). • Michel was ranked No. 2 in weeks three, four and five. • Hartinger has been an honorable mention the last two weeks. • Lattuca has been ranked No. 2 all season long behind East Aurora’s Tyler Hall.

Depew-Cleve Hill matmen topple Lackawanna Senior Night on Friday, Jan. 23 at Cleveland Hill High School. “It was a great atmosphere The Depew-Cleveland for wrestling; the stands Hill wrestling team domi- were packed,” Depew head nated Lackawana 66-18 for coach Jim Szefler said.

The seniors this year for the Wildcats are Jeff Urban, George Licht, Cameron Sackett and Daymer Hopson. Urban and Licht both celebrated with pinfall wins

in 51 seconds and 2:39, respectively. Matt Eldridge also won via pinfall in 1:05. “Lackawanna is always a tough team, but our wrestlers stepped it up a notch,” Szefler said. “The electric

atmosphere was a big part of the match.” T h e Wi l d c a t s w e r e slated to fi nish off their regular season at Medina on Wednesday, Jan. 28 and what Szefler called “the big

final dual match” at home against Springville on Friday, Jan. 30. “They are well-coached and bring a full lineup,” Szefler said of Springville. “That will be a good match.”

remarked Blenk. The society was formed in the 1970s, and is made up residents from Lancaster and Depew. The group has less than 20 members right now, and have reduced their annual dues to only $5. They meet 10 times throughout the year, and are active in other groups

The technique itself yields very abstract results, forming rings of color that mesh with each other and forming organic shapes on top of the ceramic slate. “You drop the paint on it and it reacts with the alcohol to form its own thing,” said Blenk. It almost forms a stained glass effect, with a clear plastic coating preservative over the ink to prevent paint chipping. Although people usually make abstract work with this technique, it is possible to make floral designs once the colors spread out and start meshing with each other. Refreshments will be

Twin Village Art Society will be hosting a “Paint In” at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 2 in the meeting room of the Village of Lancaster Municipal Building, located at 5423 Broadway. Vicki Oliver, a member of the Cheektowaga Art Guild and art consultant for Hyatt’s art supply store in Clarence, will be showing participants how to do an alcohol ink technique on white ceramic tiles provided by the society’s president, Chip Blenk. “This is a chance to see

each other’s techniques, and critique each other’s work… very enjoyable for the members. The group bought the paint and alcohol so they can do it themselves,” said Blenk. The event is free and open to the public, and people can use the supplies provided by the society. Blenk and other members saw a demonstration of the alcohol ink technique at Oliver’s Hyatt’s back in November, and everyone was excited to turn this into an event for the society. “The group can experiment with what they have, and guests are welcome to join in,” added Blenk.

Sampson Needs Some Shade

Wild giraffes who roam the African Savannah thrive there because of the warm temperatures, water, food, sun, and shade.The Buffalo Zoo is committed to providing the same type of environment for their giraffe population, whose newest member, Sampson, will be experiencing all kinds of FOLPDWH FKDQJH LQ KLV Ă&#x20AC;UVW year of life. As part of continued improvements to the zoo, there are plans to build a shade structure. Giraffes already have use of an enclosed structure, as well as a large giraffe yard of approximately one-half acre. However, during the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation process in 2011, it was noted that there was little to no outdoor shade. The Association of Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Aquariums (AZA) requested that a shade structure be built to help keep the animals cool and out of the direct sunlight of the summer months. In order to achieve reaccreditation, the Buffalo Zoo needs to install this structure before 2016. Community Papers of WNY, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, and Towne MINI share a commitment to our community and are partnering together to help. You may have noticed several billboards throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area introducing Sampson to his hometown, along with featured articles in all of CPOWNYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community newspapers. Sampson also graced the cover of WNY Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s January 2015 edition. Our goal is to bring awareness to the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservation efforts, the need
