80th birthday of Elvis to be celebrated By Jennifer Lysiak

THE LANCASTER SUN EDITOR

Marking what would have been Elvis Presley’s 80th birthday this year, members of the WNY Elvis Appreciation Society, Inc., are planning a big celebration on Saturday, Jan. 24 to not only honor Presley’s memory, but to raise money for Hospice of Buffalo. Still known for his musical influence today, and of course his dance moves and good looks, Presley will always be known as“The King,” and regarded as one

of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. But what many individuals may not know is Presley was very generous, helping others whenever he could. Members of the society, a non-profit organization, have been celebrating Presley’s birthday with an annual event that gives Elvis fans a night to relive his music and helps to raise money for charity. This event known as “Birthday Party for the King” is going on its seventh year and features Elvis Tribute Artist, Terry Bu-

chwald. It’s also a chance for the society to give back to the Western New York community by raising money for Hospice of Buffalo. “We wanted to honor Elvis’s birthday, which was on Jan. 8, and the best way we thought we could do that was to have an event and raise money for a charity, which is something he was not necessarily known for until he passed away,” explained WNY Elvis Appreciation Society Secretary/Treasurer, Sylvia Walworth. “We chose Hospice to always benefit from this particular event.”

Terry Buchwald to perform at the ‘Birthday Party for The King.’ In fact, the society is especially proud this year, because the Hospice facility, located on Como Park Boulevard, recently underwent a renovation and they were one of several clubs to have a room dedicated to them. A plaque in the society’s name has been hung outside of room “S-10.” By holding this event yearly, the society has raised close to $30,000 for Hospice. This upcoming party will take them over the $30,000 mark, said Walworth. “It’s awesome,” said Walworth, in regard to having a Hospice room dedicated to them. “It gives me goosebumps every time I think about it. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that a small club of 35 people are able to contribute so much to such a great facility.” Walworth added the society doesn’t do things for recognition, because they

just want to uphold Elvis’s giving nature. However, she said it’s nice to have the recognition, so people see what they’re doing and how their donations make a difference. “We want to continue that legacy,” remarked Walworth. “It’s a feeling wonderful feeling.” Hospice was a easy choice for the society to donate the money raised to, because whether its a relative or a friend, someone has benefitted from the the great works they do, said Walworth. Also, the evening of the party members of the society will be presenting a special gift to Hospice to be put into the room that was dedicated to them. It’s a surprise and it’s one that will truly add Presley’s presence to the room. “[Elvis] changed the course of music history, in

my opinion. If he hadn’t been the person he was at the time he came along, I’m not sure somebody else would have been able to open the door the way he did for all genres of music,” said Walworth. “We have a group of people that believe that this man did great works, both with his money and talent and we need to keep that moving.” The “Birthday Party for the King” will be held from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, at Grapevine Banquets, 333 Dick Road, in Depew. Doors open at 6 p.m. The night will include a basket auction, 50/50, and door prizes, as well as dancing as Buchwald takes the stage performing three sets/ shows. He will be performing Presley’s music beginning with the early years through his Las Vegas days. Tickets are $12 pre-sale and $17 the day of. Tables can be reserved for pre-sale purchase of 10 tickets. A cash bar and food will be available for purchase. For more information about the event or tickets call Walworth at 684-1705 or email wnyeas@yahoo. com. To learn more about the organization visit www. wnyeas.com If you’re interested in becoming a member, the society meets at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of a month at Hillview Restaurant, located at 6135 Transit Road, in Depew.

T h e P a t r i c k P. L e e Foundation has awarded a $23,700 grant to Plymouth Crossroads to provide support services for homeless teens. Funding will enable the shelter to enhance youths’ ability to reconnect with their families, complete their education, secure employment, and receive ongoing support to meet their individual needs. “This funding will make a tremendous difference to our boys,” said Plymouth Crossroads Executive Director Jennifer Thorpe. “After enduring abuse, neglect and homelessness, they arrive here thinking

no one cares. We strive to make Plymouth Crossroads a real home, where our residents become a family, where the boys know the staff really cares about them. This funding is crucial in giving the youth the services that they need to succeed.” Plymouth Crossroads provides transitional housing, sheltering homeless young men ages 16 to 20 while they complete their education, develop employment and life skills, and prepare for independence. The agency, which opened up in 2011, serves the Western New York region,

housing up to eight youth at a time who can stay for a maximum of 18 months while they prepare to support themselves. The majority of the youth served successfully transition into independence. The Patrick P. Lee Foundation’s mission is to support organizations having a positive impact in areas of medical care and research, education, human and community services and behavioral health. In 2012 the foundation distributed more than $2.2 million in grant funds to area agencies.

Flu prevalence in Erie County remains high The number of positive tests for influenza (flu) has slowed its dramatic growth, according to Erie County Commissioner of Health (ECDOH) Dr. Gale Burstein. “Our surveillance data shows while flu activity remains high, the growth trend in the number of positive test results appears to have leveled off for now,” she stated. ECDOH continues to coordinate with local hospital systems to monitor levels of influenza hospital admissions. “Many of the hospitals have been able to handle the demand for beds for high risk individuals with the flu with their normal staffing and room allocations. The majority of the extra beds that were needed in the past few weeks are no longer needed and the wait times for patients who need to be admitted for continued care has decreased” Burstein added. ECDOH urges Erie County residents to contact their health care provider before heading to a hospital Emergency Department. For those

who do not have a primary care provider and need medical evaluation, seek care at an urgent care center. Emergency Departments remain extremely busy and must be reserved for those severely ill. Most people with the flu will have a mild illness and will not require medical care or treatment with antiviral drugs. High Risk Individuals: It is especially important for certain populations at high risk for serious flu complications to get vaccinated. People that are at high risk of developing serious complications like pneumonia if they develop illness with flu, include individuals with certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, morbid obesity, and chronic lung disease. In addition, the high risk category includes: • Females who are pregnant, have recently given birth or are breast feeding • People 65 years and older • People who are immunosuppressed where their body’s immune system or

ability to fight off infection may be impaired • People who live with or care for others who are at high risk of developing serious complications • Young children, especially those under 2 years of age • Health care providers Individuals having difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or are dizzy and weak from possible dehydration, should seek medical evaluation immediately. If you are in a high risk group and develop flu symptoms, contact your health care provider. Remind them about your high risk status for flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends initiation of antiviral treatment as early as possible (within 48 hours of symptom onset), especially for those at high risk for complications. Antiviral therapies may reduce the severity of illness, decrease the risk of complications (including hospitalization) and shorten the duration of illness. “Contact your primary

care physician or an urgent care center if you are concerned about your symptoms” said Dr. Burstein. “Emergency Departments should be utilized for emergencies. Typically, flu can be treated at home.” If you have the flu, stay at home and rest. Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. Avoid close contact with well people in your house so you do not make them sick. Drink plenty of liquids to prevent fluid loss (dehydration) and treat fever and other symptoms with over-the-counter medication.

NCCC hosts 18th annual Tech Wars Competition By Rebecca Gunning LOCKPORT STAR EDITOR

On Wednesday, Jan. 14, Niagara County Community College hosted its 18th annual Tech Wars Competition. Nearly 30 school districts from all over Western New York visited the campus to compete in 21 different engineering and technology events. The event was open to students in grades 6 through 12, with middle school and high school divisions in many of the competitions. Eighteen years ago when Tech Wars first began, there was one event with students from three schools. This year’s competition had around 700 students registered. There is a wide array of events, ranging from the amount of weight a wooden bridge can hold to robots building towers to windmill construction. One of the most anticipated

ones is the Sumo Bot competition, which high school students build 20-pound robots to face off against each other. “These things are built from scratch by the students,” explained Mark Voisinet, an instructor at NCCC who has been involved with Tech Wars since 2000. “They’re starting with raw materials and doing everything from mechanical construction of it to all of the mounting of electronic components to all the programing and wiring that needs to be done in order to run the robots.” Another event that saw many participants was the Cardboard Boat Regatta. In this competition, students must construct a boat using only broken down cardboard, tape, glue and paint. They then must be able to row it from one end of NCCC’s pool to the other and back. The oars also can only be created with cardboard and duct tape. “That’s one of the competitions where you see a wide

One of the teams that participated in the regatta was a

team of four girls from Sweet Home High School, who wore squid hats and made a boat that looked like a whale. The girls’ team is made up of senior Allie Perfetto, freshman Alyssa Duffy, junior Madeline Bell, and her sis-

ter Alison, a freshman, and wound up finishing in third place. Voisinet found the all-girl team to be encouraging and follows the trend of more girls developing an interest in S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. “We’re just starting to see a little more growth with women coming into our technology programs,” he explained. “There’s absolutely nothing in technology that a woman can’t do as well, if not better, than a man.” Gina Beam, NCCC’s director of public relations, believes that if schools and S.T.E.M. programs begin to target women at a younger age then they will continue to see an increase in female participants. “It’s really key to market at the middle school and high school levels,” she said. “There’s a trend nationally that says girls continue to have the capability to be as involved [in technology] and stay on pace with the boys in middle school, but they tend to get bored or go into other fields at the middle school. We have to continue to get

them to stay involved at the middle school level.” Voisinet, who is the program coordinator of the Computer Aided Design and Drafting curriculum at NCCC, has found there are many jobs open in the S.T.E.M. fields right now, but many of the companies cannot find enough workers with the knowledge to work there. “There’s never a lack of jobs in the S.T.E.M. fields,” he said. “What we lack is graduates in those fields. Just as a society and as a country, we need more people to come into the S.T.E.M. fields.” NCCC’s Tech Wars is the perfect event to get students excited about those fields of study while at the same time learning a great deal. Students spend weeks and even months preparing for the events, in hopes of placing in the top three in their competition. “This event affords the opportunity to have very tangible projects with very tangible goals, and the students are able to apply their engineering, technology and scientific knowledge toward these projects,” Voisinet said. While some of the competitions see hours of work destroyed in mere seconds (think bridges snapping under heavy weights as just one example), it’s evident all the kids simply enjoy being there. Each individual competition named winners, but there were also overall winners as well. At the middle school level, Grand Island Middle School placed first, Clarence Middle School placed second, and Lasalle Prep placed third. At the high school level, Cleveland Hill High School was named the 2015 Tech War Champions with Grand Island High School placing second and Orchard Park and Tonawanda City High Schools finishing in a tie for third.

That’s because Wildcat ninth-grader Chad Biersbach came out on fire with five 3-pointers in the first half of action to lead his team to a 55-41 victory that night over the Panthers. Despite being out of the game after being bashed in the mouth with about six minutes left on the clock, the 6-foot, 165-pound guard ended the night with a game-high 22 points that also included a field goal and five free throws.

WILLIAM ‘SKI’ WILCZEWSKI

Depew’s Collin Gemerek and Pioneer’s Matt Haggerty scramble for a loose ball on Tuesday, Dec. 13. Gemerek ended the night with 18 points.

“After those first couple (threes), I was just feeling it through the whole entire game,” Biersbach said. “They were feeding me the ball and I was getting good looks, plus the defense was playing well because we were stopping them, so it all felt good.” The shot he took in the mouth didn’t, but by that time the Wildcats already had the game in the bag, thanks— in large part—to his early buckets and those of Collin Gemerek, who registered 18 point in a win that evened Depew’s season record to 4-4, while dropping Pioneer to 3-5. “We executed a little better tonight,” Wildcat skipper Larry Jones said, “plus Chad got hot early and we kept finding him, so that was a little bit of maturity on our own part; just understanding that we got a guy that’s scoring; let’s keep finding ways to get him the ball.” The Panthers, on the other hand, had trouble finding good looks early, especially in the second quarter when they put up just five points. Pioneer coach Matt Krotz acknowledged his club’s slow-start habits before the game, jokingly threatening to throw a chair to fire them up. After the game, he was asked about that again. “I should have thrown it in the locker room before the game because we didn’t come out very strong,” he said. “It’s very typical. It’s something we’ve battling all year, but the Depew kids came out and they took the game right away and we didn’t do much to stop them. “To my kids’ defense,” Krotz added, “they kept work-

Depew’s Ryan Guay (left) tries to swipe the ball from Pioneer on Tuesday, Dec. 13. ing the entire game; they kept fighting and they brought it back in the end, but too little too late.” In the end, though, Pioneer’s Vince Nourse was the only Panther in double digits with 10 points. Other than that, the visitor had trouble finding its groove on either end of the court—especially in defending Biersbach. “If we defend the way we’re supposed to, that’s not supposed to happen,” Krotz said, “but (Depew) did a good job of penetrating and finding the open guy, and we didn’t do a very good job of shutting down penetration, and we didn’t get to shooters, especially early. “This game’s obviously a

loss,” he added, “but if we’d of just made shots and not taken silly turnovers, it could have been different. I don’t think we played terribly bad, but at the end of the day it comes down to a confidence thing and that comes from practice because practice habits matter.” That kind of practice had helped Depew, which was having struggles scoring in the first half of the season. After the holiday break, though, the Wildcats seem to be on track. “The season is such a marathon that you can’t expect things to go well all the time,” Jones said. “What you’re hoping is that you’ll see slow, small progress on

a daily basis—and for the most part, we are. In Chad I see leaps and bounds day by day. In some of the seniors, we’re seeing better things happen, too.” That remark was likely geared mostly to Gemerek, who helped give Depew a lethal one-two punch on the night. “You don’t want one guy because it’s easy to take one guy away,” Jones said, “so if you have two or three that are doing things, that’s good. “But we need to build on it,” he added. “We’re undefeated in league, not that that means a whole lot right now … but we’re at a point where we need to play a big boy game and see what we’re made of.”

Local sports Meyer receives New York’s top Gatorade honor By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

St. Mary’s High standout volleyball player Leah Meyer isn’t leaving for Durham, N.C.’s Duke University until June 27, so she’s not quite packing her bags yet. Once she does, though, one of those bags will be quite a bit heavier after the senior officially received the Gatorade Volleyball Player of the Year for New York State on Tuesday, Jan. 13 in front of her teammates, coach, family and friends at the home of the Lancers in Lancaster. It was the culmination of a tons of hard work for the 6-foot-3 middle blocker who received a full-ride scholarship to play for the Blue Devils next season. “From my freshman year, I’d heard of the award and I told my parents that that was one of my goals; to be the Gatorade Player of the Year,” said Meyer, who had been a finalist the past two seasons. “Even just that was an amazing honor for me; just knowing that I was one of the top players in New York state,” she said, “then, finally, this year, getting the award was absolutely amazing to me.” It may have been amazing, but it was also no real surprise after Meyer—who also had interest from Penn State, Michigan and Syracuse— dominated the regular season until she injured an ankle right before her Lady Lancers’New York State Catholic High School Athletic Association

title run began. Prior to that, though, Meyer recorded 460 kills, 139 digs, 79 blocks and 53 service aces. She also had a hitting percentage of .468. A four-time All-Conference selection and a three-time Monsignor Martin League MVP, Meyer was ranked as the No. 45 Senior Ace nationally by PrepVolleyball.com. “Leah’s got all the measurables and all the intangibles of a great athlete,” St. Mary’s skipper Don Pieczynski said. “I mean, she’s got the height and she’s got the heart. You put that together along with her athleticism, it makes her a great player. “She’s the best player that I’ve ever seen come out of Western New York,” he added. “I mean, she’s got it all. She can dominate anywhere along the net. She clearly dominated anywhere we put her on the court.” Now, though, Meyer—and her team—will face new challenges; them without her and her on a bigger stage. “I think every great athlete, when they move on and play with other great players, they have to learn how to deal with adversity, because things aren’t always going to go their way,” Pieczynski said, “so it’s how well they stay confident and how well they adjust their game. But I think she’s got all the tools, mentally and physically, to take on the challenge.” As for his team, “I always liked to say it’s nice to have an eraser because Leah could go up there and erase all our mistakes,” he said, “so we know that going in we have to play more mistake-free volleyball without Leah there because we don’t have that big eraser in our toolbox anymore. But I think our kids understand that, and we had a chance to imple-

that seem too hard … because if you work your hardest, anything is achievable.” As for herself, “I’m going (to Duke) with a lot of tough players and I’m really excited about it and to improve as a player,” she said. “It’s just going to be exciting to go through a whole new experience.” Gatorade officially announced Meyer as its honoree Dec. 11. A press release at the time explained that she has

maintained an A average in the classroom and has volunteered locally as a mentor for younger students and as a summer camp counselor. Meyer joins recent Gatorade New York Volleyball Players of the Year Luisa Schirmer (2013-14 & 2012-13, Pittsford Sutherland High School), Melissa Rigo (2011-12, Elwood-John H. Glenn High School), Heather Feldman (2010-11, Eden High School), Mary Cushman (2009-10 &

2008-09, West Irondequoit), and Erin Little (2007-08, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake) among the state’s list of former award winners. Feldman was the last player from Western New York to take the honor, and Meyer was the first in St. Mary’s’ successful volleyball history. The Lady Lancers finished this past season with a 470-1 record, plus a No. 20 national ranking, according to PrepVolleyball.com.

Local man indicted on charges A federal grand jury has returned a six count indictment charging Jason M. Smith, 34, of Tonawanda, with production of child pornography and possession of child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. The charges carry a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both. Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott S. Allen, Jr., who is handling the case, stated that according to a complaint filed in Sept. 2014, on April 11, 2014, the Lancaster Police Department executed a search warrant at Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resi-

dence on Byron Avenue in Tonawanda. During the search, officers seized external hard drives. Subsequent examination by the Western New York Regional Forensic Laboratory determined that the defendant was producing child pornography at his residence. Some of the images depicted Smith engaged in sexual contact with what appears to be a child under the age of 10. Investigation also determined that the defendant possessed other items of child pornography. Smith was arraigned on Jan. 12, before U.S Magistrate Judge Jerimiah J. McCarthy. The defendant

has been in custody since his arrest in Sept. The indictment is the culmination of an investigation on the part of Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Lancaster Police Department, under the direction of Chief Gerald J. Gill, Jr., and the Cheektowaga Police Department, under the direction of Chief David Zack. The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

Mills, Lorigo reappointed at reorganizational meeting The Erie County Legislature held its annual reorganizational meeting Thursday, Jan. 8, and elected Legislator John Mills to his second term as chairman. He was appointed unanimously (11-0) to the one year term. “I am honored to have the support of my colleagues to continue serving as chairman. We had a lot of success in 2014 during my first year in the position and I look forward to a productive new year. The Legislature has a lot of work to do to capitalize on the 2015 tax decrease we delivered and to continue the trend of delivering relief for taxpayers,” said Chairman Mills. Chairman Mills was first elected to the Legislature in 2005 and served seven years as minority leader. In November 2013 the first Republican-aligned majority was elected to lead the Legislature in 37 years, making Chairman Mills the first Republican to hold the seat in nearly four decades. Also during Thursday’s meeting the Majority Caucus re-elected Legislator Joseph Lorigo to the position of majority leader. First

elected to the Legislature in 2011, Majority Leader Lorigo was the first Conservative Party member to hold the position when he was appointed by the Republican-aligned Majority Caucus in 2014. “In our first year in the majority, our Caucus made significant changes to how the Legislature operates, held departments and commissioners accountable, implemented internal reform and improved overall efficiency. As a result, the administration has also had to adjust how it operates, knowing the Legis-

lature will not simply rubber-stamp items like it did during the first two years of the county executive’s term. I am proud of the improvement Erie County has achieved under our leadership. However, our job continues and we pledge to remain diligent in dealing every matter that comes before this body,” said Majority Leader Lorigo.
