7 5 0 Down Erie County Legislator Ted Morton continues to ask why Erie County’s gas prices remain higher than the rest of the state and country, and says the problem is getting worse.

“When I first contacted the State Attorney General about this issue this past fall, the gap between our local gas prices and those of other areas was much smaller than it is today.

While other communities across New York and the country are benefiting from rapidly dropping gas prices we aren’t experiencing the same relief,” said Legislator Morton.

He is now calling on State and Federal officials to join his efforts and question the continued slow decline of Erie County gasoline prices after his attempts to get a State Attorney General investigation hit a roadblock. Legislator Morton sent a letter to WNY delegations in NYS Assembly and NYS Senate, and WNY Delegation

in Congress on Jan. 6, asking for their support.

“I first issued a statement on this matter in October and have spoken to the State Attorney General’s Regional Office. The response I received was that I needed to bring their office proof of wrongdoing in the gasoline industry.

Their office is tasked with protecting consumers, and I believe it is a strong possibility consumers are being taking advantage of right now. I am disappointed by this answer and am encouraging our State and Federal representatives to get involved and push for an investigation,” said Legislator Morton.

He added that the response from the State Attorney General is extremely frustrating because in 2011 the State Attorney General completed a survey of prices when prices were rising. That study showed two things that are not happening today in the Erie County gasoline

market. First, according to the study, the spread between the wholesale price and the pump price stays around 75 cents a gallon and that spread remained as prices increased continuously over six months, as reported by the State Attorney General. However, the second point, today when prices are falling, we are seeing a larger gap in the spread, approximately $1.40 a gallon.

According to Legislator Morton’s summary of prices and the disparity in the spread, he estimates that Erie County is spending an additional $15 million a month or $60 million since September at the pump.

“On Friday, Nov. 28, 2014, the wholesale price closed at $1.80, meaning the pump price should have soon dropped to around $2.55 a gallon. Today, more than five weeks later, prices are still about 20 cents higher, averaging over $2.70. In fact, wholesale prices have declined

further to $1.40 a gallon, meaning the price at the pump should be $2.15, if prices were to decline as quickly as they increase.

On average, the spread has been $1.40 a gallon and not the normal 75 cents spread,” Legislator Morton added. “This isn’t right. It doesn’t add up based on the State Attorney General’s own report from 2011.

I am still pushing for an investigation, answers and changes. Having been going after this issue for several months and hearing from many constituents they also believe there is wrongdoing, I firmly believe we need our State and Federal officials to get behind this issue and push for an investigation. Personally, I find the issue to be outrageous. Taxpayers are losing money every time they go to the pump and I believe there is a solution but we need to get the right officials behind this issue.”

Mayor Steven P. Hoffman, Deputy Mayor Jules Pecora, and Community Development Director Frank Caparaso recently completed the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The CERT course covered disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact local areas and trains people in basic disaster response skills, such

as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. The training enables graduates to assist others in disasters until first responders arrive.

Mayor Hoffman stated, “It’s important to be prepared to help family, neighbors, and co-workers, in the event of an emergency. I encourage everyone to learn first aid and pack an emergency kit for the home and car, we must recognize the importance of being

Policeman’s Ball to be held, tickets on sale now

By Jennifer Lysiak

THE LANCASTER SUN EDITOR

Every dollar raised during the upcoming annual Policeman’s Ball Fundraiser will truly make a difference in someone’s life. This is an event hosted for many years that has helped residents right in the Depew community and beyond.

Hosted by the Depew Police Benevolent Association (PBA), Patrick Canna, who is chairman of the ball, vice president of the Depew PBA, and a Depew police officer, said the association doesn’t have an exact date on when the first policeman’s ball was held, but the earliest ball they know of is 1964.

“So, if that was the first one it will be 51 years this year,” said Canna.

Keeping a long tradition alive, with the support of the community over the years, the Depew PBA has been able to assist more than 30 local and national charities and scholarships. Some of these include, Make- AWish Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Variety Kids Telethon, Depew Lancaster Boys & Girls Club, Boy Scouts of America, and Special Olympics of WNY. Some local

programs include Depew School’s sports and music programs, Hospice Memorial Walk, Tim Horton’s Children Fund, and the TriCommunity Food Pantry.

“We usually spread [donations] out to a whole bunch of different charities,” remarked Canna. “Basically, if we get a request or we hear about a local resident who went through some kind of medical issue or a house burnt down, something to that effect, we vote on it and make a donation and send it out to the family in need or charity in need. It’s not one specific one we constantly always donate too.”

The event on a conservative side draws between 300 to 600 people every year, said Canna. It is a great way to enjoy a night out, support the community and the PBA. And let’s not forget to mention that those who attend will be able to meet the officers who serve on the Depew Police force, a great way to meet the community’s local heroes.

Canna said a police officer is there to serve the community and “help as many people as they can,” and an event like this has and will certainly do that.

In addition, the Policeman’s Ball Fundraiser is a casual event. Canna said

back in the day he’s pretty sure it was a black tie event, but throughout the years it has changed to a relaxed, informal evening.

The ball will be held from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday, Feb. 28, at the new Grapevine Banquet Facility (old Hearthstone) located at 333 Dick Road. Tickets for the event are $25 each, and include food, adult refreshments, and live music by Buffalo’s own Hit N’ Run band. There will be a Chinese auction, 50/50 raffles, and a NFL/NHL Jersey Raffle, and a few other things.

Included with your ticket is also a chance to win one of three prizes: First prize - A weekend trip to New York City with airfare and hotel included; second prize- a 55inch LED High Def Smart TV; and third prize - an Apple iPad. Tickets can be purchased the day of or pre-sale by emailing DepewPBAball@ gmail.com The evening will offer great music, food, refreshments, and company, and an opportunity to support the Depew PBA, which gives back so much to so many programs in the village and surrounding communities.

Make sure you get your tickets to make this year a success.

School district to host Family Fun Night The Lancaster Central School District will be hosting a Family Fun Night during the second annual Day of Kindness on Tuesday, Feb. 10. Family Fun Night will be held from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the Lancaster High School Field House, located at One Forton Drive.

Activities include crafts,

face painting, mini golf, arcade and carnival games, visits from Buster Bison, the Erie County Fair Bear, and Disney princesses, and prizes.

The cost is $5 per family and includes pizza, beverages, and desserts made by the LHS Academy of Hospitality and Tourism. There

will also be a non-perishable food collection at the door.

Families are asked to bring non-perishable food items as an act of kindness.

Pre-sale tickets are available at all schools or by calling Pat Burgio at 686-3214.

A limited number of tickets will be available at the door.

Test your knowledge at ‘Trivia Night’ T h e L a n c a s t e r Yo u t h Foundation is excited to announce that they will be hosting its second annual “Trivia Night” at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 26 at St. Mary’s High School. They invite the entire Lancaster-Depew community to be part of the fun.

There are three ways to support the foundation and get involved: Enter a team in the exciting “Trivia Night” contest, become a sponsor, or purchase a program ad.

The “Trivia Night” process is simple, and the evening will be great fun. Who can form a “Trivia Night” team?

Anyone. All you need is a team of four people, an entry fee of $100, and your trivia knowledge. Your team members could walk away with some nice prizes, including the $500 grand prize. Audience and team members will also have a chance to have their names drawn to participate in a few extras.

Teams can include, but are certainly not limited to: faculty groups, school clubs, organizations, co-workers, civic or business groups, friends or family members, or any other group of four you can think of.

Instead of forming a team, or in addition to having a team, you can still help support the foundation by advertising in the “Trivia Night” program, making a cash donation, donating a gift certificate or other prizes for use during the event, passing along information to anyone who would be interested in supporting this worthwhile endeavor.

LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT

When Erie County Legislator Ted Morton, along with his peers, were cleaning out a storage area in the building, they never expected to come across a detailed set of blue prints from 1970.

Approximately 100 pages were dated Jan. 30, 1970, and was a complete design for a domed stadium to be located on Pleasant View Drive in Lancaster.

The stadium would have a baseball diamond and football field, completely enclosed, where it is assumed both the Bisons and Bills would play.

“At a time when most everyone in Western New York is weighing in on the next location for a new stadium, it is very interesting to see what was being discussed in 1970,” said Jessica O’Neil, communications director for the Republican Caucus.

History is repeating itself, as the exact same issues of location, and open air versus a domed stadium is being

brought up today.

Back when everything was being discussed in 1970 amongst Ralph Wilson and the two architectural firms, the site was ultimately deemed inappropriate for a variety of reasons, one of which being its close proximity to the Lancaster High School.

“I had also heard that

Mr. Ralph Wilson wanted a larger, open air stadium that was strictly for his football team and this proposal was for multi-sport use, in addition to being a dome,” added Morton.

Some residents may recall the lawsuit that took place back in 1984 regarding this decision to have the stadium built in Orchard Park instead

ing into having the blue prints donated to a local museum, once they are taken down from their display at the Legislature.

“I have thought about talking with the Buffalo Museum of History to see if they would be interested or had a suggestion,” remarked Morton.

The documents for the stadium are on display in the Erie County Legislature, 92 Franklin St., Fourth Floor in Buffalo. The Legislature is open form 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

of Lancaster. Erie County was required to pay $54 million to Edward Cottrell and the Kenford Corporation since the county backed out of an agreement to build the stadium in Lancaster back in 1969. Cottrell claimed the cost of acquiring the land, out-of-pocket expenses, and a loss of profits added up to at least $619.3 million

overall, according to an article published in the New York Times on Aug. 4, 1984.

The county only paid out $54 million because the construction bids went beyond the original $50 million estimate.

The proposed stadium would have had 50,000 seats, much smaller than the current stadium in Orchard Park, and architecturally speaking were very basic. “[The drawings are] not like the designs and renderings we see today,” said Morton.

Local sports Records all around for Frawley, multi-talented junior excelling on track, in classroom at Depew

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

With so much on her plate, one would think 24 hours in a day wouldn’t be enough for Depew High’s Katelynn Frawley.

If you think that, though, you would be wrong.

In fact, the junior track and field and cross country runner has built up quite a resume as those days have gone by over the years.

On Jan. 17 at the Brockport State Invitational, she added another line on that resume when she joined forces with teammates Caitlin Augustyn, Cassie Serafin and Samantha Spinella to break the school’s 4x200-meter relay record in a blistering time of 1 minute, 53.98 seconds—six seconds faster than the old record set in 2009.

“We were really excited,” she said. “I didn’t think we’d break it by that much. We’ve been trying to break it for a couple years now, so that was nice.”

This season’s highlights don’t end there for Frawley, who set personal records in the 300 and 600 on Jan. 25 at Houghton College. Her respective times of 44.65 and 1:46.05 rank her second all-time in Lady Wildcat history in those events, but she’s hoping to top those marks this season or next.

“I think I can do it,” she said recently. “I just need to push a little harder.”

Frawley’s internal drive, however, isn’t just reserved for the athletic fields. Proof comes when grades are released and she sees her name at the top of her class. She recently had a first quarter average of 100.73 and has an overall high school average right now of 99.417.

“She’s a studious person,” Depew track coach and substitute teacher Justin McElligott said. “Between the end of the school day and practice, she’s uses her time to do homework—usually working on pre-cal or something—plus she finds the time to help others.”

“It can be tough and stressful at times,” Frawley added about balancing academics and athletics, “but it’s all about having priorities and managing time.”

That time management—on and off the track—has paid dividends, according to McEl-

ligott, who’s seen her classroom and running numbers constantly increase.

“Every season there’s been improvement,” he said. “When I look at her stats over the years, there is progress from her freshman year until now. She’s one of the hardest workers I’ve seen, and it shows.”

Frawley’s determination in

the classroom also showed when she scored a 93 on a recent Regents exam, but—to the surprise of many—re-took it … and got a 97.

“Whether in school or on the track, that’s the kind of person she is,” McElligott said.

“Because of that, even some of the (track) guys are afraid to let her pass them so they pick

it, and her teammates work harder, too, because they see her example.”

And to think it all begin with an innocent track meet when Frawley took first place in the 75-meter dash in third grade.

“That was the deciding moment,” she explained. “It was the start of everything.”

From there, Frawley made the

high school’s modified team when she was in the seventh grade, then “started competing for real and getting more serious about it in high school,” she explained. “Now it’s a major aspect of my life.”

That aspect is also more diverse than most of her peers because the young lady also runs the 400-meter dash and the five-event pentathlon in the outdoor track season, plus cross country, where her personal best is 21:12 at the 5k distance.

To boot, Frawley took seventh place at sectionals in the 400 last season with a time of 1:02.09, and also qualified in the pentathlon with 1,990 combined points in the 100 hurdles, shot put, high jump, long jump and 800-meter run.

“Katelynn’s just a phenomenal athlete and a born leader, which is a bonus, to be quite honest,” McElligott said.

“She’s always bringing it; always giving her best.

“She’s so flexible as an athlete,” he added. “We could drop her into any event and we know she’ll do well.”

Frawley’s next big chance to prove it is Saturday, Feb. 7 when she and the Wildcats are slated to compete at their league championships at Houghton College from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wildcat grapplers end regular season strong Last week was a busy week for the Depew Wildcats wrestling squad.

The Cats had two big wins; one against the Medina Mustangs, 42-39, and the other against Springville-Griffith,

42-26, so Depew finish its regular season with a 6-2 dual match record.

“The athletes wrestled hard all week in practice to prepare for these two big matches … and it sure paid

off,” Wildcat skipper Jim Szefler said. “We preached all week to push the pace and no one get pinned—and it worked.”

Depew’s big matches came from Phil Calandra, Matt

Eldridge, Kameron Urbino, Max Jaskier, George Licht, Ammari Wooten and Ryan Majerowski against Medina.

In the Springville match at a packed-house in Depew, the Wildcats “wrestled

hard and would not let up,” Szefler said, adding that some key matches that help in the victory came from Urbino, Calandra, Jaskier, Majerowski, Eldridge and Silas Garrison.

The Wildcats are now slated to compete in the Class B championships on Saturday, Feb. 7 at Cheektowaga High at 9 a.m. The state qualifiers are scheduled at East Aurora on Feb. 14.

Local sports Lancaster proves a tough challenge for three-time champ

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

Three-time defending Section VI girls hockey champion Kenmore took a step toward a fourth title on Monday, Feb. 2, while steadily improving Lancaster/Iroquois took a different kind of step.

ItallhappenedattheNorthtown Center that night when the favorite—No.1-rankedKenmore—did what they were supposed to, while theunderdog—No.4Lancaster— didn’t.

And while Lancaster didn’t roll over, that didn’t stop Kenmore from gutting out a 2-0 victory that kept them in the playoff mix. An early second period goal byTaylor Story, plus an empty-netter from

Ana Orzechowski inside the final minute, made sure of that.

“One thing we’ve talked about all year long is that we don’t care who gets the goal, we just want to score it,” Kenmore head coach Jeff Orlowski said after his squad advanced to 8-2-3. “This team has been pretty dominant over the last fewyearsandthecoreplayershave worked hard for us to get there, and Taylor optimizes that. She is a hard worker, and she scored the goal because she went hard to the net.”

Story was able to do that after teammate Emily King fought through the Lancaster defense on her way to the assist.

“That’s the kind of goals we’ve scoredthisyear;thehard-working, slam-the-netkind,”Orlowskisaid.

“It’s selfless team hockey; that’s what it is.”

“It’s always a physical game playing against Lancaster, so we had to keep our heads in it and go out there and try our best,” Story said. “That’s what got us through.”

Lancaster’s downfall, on the other hand, was obvious. Despite holdingKenmorebelowits season average in goals, they didn’t create enough chances of their own.

“They played a good game, no question,” Santoro said of Kenmore, “but going up against a three-time defending league champ and keeping them to basi-

cally one goal was a great job. Our goaltending and defense were to task; no question about it, but we needed to generate more offense—and we just didn’t.”

That’s generally been the case all season long for a young Lancaster squad that’s relied on senior keeper Madeline Norton to keep them within striking distance. She

had 32 saves against Kenmore.

“She’s a clutch player,” Santoro said. “She made key saves … but whenshemakessaveslikethat,we needtocashinonouropportunities on the other end.”

Kenmore’s experience and solid puck control on their side of the ice limited those opportunities for Lancaster, giving Lauren Pray—arguably one of the better keepers in the league along with Norton—the 15-save shutout and a shot at another title. That doesn’t mean, though, that the underdog didn’t earn a little respect.

“Maddie Norton is unbelievable in net,” Orlowski said, “and Dave (Santoro) and (assistant) Pete (Tonsoline) do such a great job with the team. I can’t believe how much that program’s turned around. The last two years, Lancaster/Iroquois has been a team that you have to look out for. They are a hard-working team, and have two of the best defenseman in the league in (Brianna) Colucci and

(Megan) Reukauf, who played well.”

The loss, though, bounced Lancaster (4-6-1, plus 2 overtime wins) out of the Section VI playoffs again. Still, Santoro hopes the program can use the game as a building block.

“This is our fifth season, so where we’ve come from, to be in the section semifinal game and have it basically be a one-goal game, is huge for us,” he said. “The program is growing … and I think we’ve got a bright future coming.

We fell short tonight, but I think we’ve got a good future coming with the girls that we have.

“I think down the road, we’re going to be in good shape,” Santoro added. “We’ve got a good core group of players that we’ll be able to count on to play and do as well as they did today. A year or two from now, and a little more seasoned, they’ll also have that game experience that it takes to win games like this.”

National telecast brings out the best for UB Bulls last Friday night for a 10 p.m. game between UB and COLUMNIST division-leading Kent State, a contest which was carried Part of me wants to cringe nationally on ESPN-U. The students turned out in every time I hear about a force, complete with largecollegiate sporting event behead representations of a ing played “under the bright lights” of a national television disparate cast of characters including Bills coach Rex broadcast.

Realistically, the lights Ryan, “Home Alone” star aren’t any brighter in an arena Macaulay Culkin, and Abraor stadium when ESPN is ham Lincoln. Reports stated in town (except for that one that students were still flowtime about seven or eight ing in midway through the years ago when UB had to first half, a vast improvement bring in auxiliary lights for a over last fall’s UB-Baylor national football telecast – but football game (incidentally also a national broadcast), I digress).

Don’t say anything about when students raced for the the “bright lights myth” to exits by halftime.

And then there was the the 5,797 who turned out “mop guy” who got caught

By Mike Haim

wiping the floor as a turnover created a fast break towards his end; his mad scramble turned him into a locally trending topic on social media repositories Twitter and Vine.

The sideshow was merely window dressing, though: the Bulls drew upon the energy at Alumni Arena and dominated in an 80-55 trouncing. The whole night had a magical feeling to it, as if coach Bobby Hurley’s squad treated the contest as a coming-out party.

“It was a great game to be part of,” Hurley said in his post-game comments. “The energy of the crowd and the atmosphere and the way we played defensively was great.”

In addition, in a season

which has seen various players take up the leadership torch, another star emerged Friday night in senior forward Xavier Ford. The 6-7 forward, the team’s only four-year member and a front-runner for Sixth Man honors, netted a career-high 25 points in his second start of the season.

Toss in his 16-point performance in his first start against Western Michigan three days prior, and it’s easy to see why Ford was named MAC East Division player of the week.

But it’s really been a steady, balanced show in Amherst all season: the Bulls are still undefeated (8-0) at home this season and have played a pair of highly competitive road

games against highly-ranked opponents, even holding halftime leads against Kentucky and Wisconsin. On the way, the Bulls have compiled a 14-6 overall record and are 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference; surely they’ve turning many heads after the MAC coaches’ pre-season poll placed them to finish fourth in their six-team division.

At this point, a division title isn’t out of the question: the Bulls went into this past Wednesday’s road tilt against Ball State tied for 3rd in the MAC East Division, just one game behind Kent State and Akron. UB still has a road rematch with Kent State remaining (on Feb. 28) and

two games against Akron (on the road this Saturday and at home on Feb. 24).

In addition, UB has yet to play Bowling Green, with whom they’re tied; the teams will play on the rural Ohio campus on Feb. 21 and again to close out regular season play on Mar. 6.

In less than two seasons, Hurley has already logged an impressive 33-16 record and owns the best winning percentage ever by a UB hoops coach. He appears to be getting the Bulls on track for some remarkable success, along with any “bright lights” that may shine on them along the way.

Legislator Ted Morton launches campaign for re-election Citing his record of cutting county taxes and partnering with local community organizations and businesses to improve quality of life, Erie County Legislator Ted Morton (R,C,I-Cheektowaga) launched his campaign for re-election to Erie County Legislature.

“It has been an honor to represent Alden, Cheektowaga, Depew, and Lancaster in the Erie County Legislature, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting community leaders and constituents through the countless events and activities I’ve attended throughout our district” said Morton.

“In my short tenure in office, I’ve worked with my colleagues to deliver the first tax rate cut in Erie County in nearly a decade, shed the light on the issue of high gas prices in Western New York, helped local businesses expand and create new jobs, and led the fight to increase funding to our ailing infrastructure” added Morton. “We’ve only begun and I look forward to earning the voters trust for a second term so we can continue to make Erie County a great place to live

and raise a family.”

Morton lives in Cheektowaga with his wife, Christine, and daughter, Kristen. He is a board member for Kidney Connection, active parishioner of Vine Wesleyan Church in Depew, and a 20 plus year

member of the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce. He is also an active member of both the Dick Urban Community Association and the Depew-Cheektowaga Taxpayers Association.
