Maestro Dean Vallas from the North Tonawanda Choral Department is calling all of his former students to come participate in the 20th annual Cabaret. Vallas will be taking his students “back to the future� with this year’s anniversary performance.

He already posted the idea on Facebook and received a great amount of support from alumni. Many from out of town even said they wanted to participate in some

way if they could.

The 10-year anniversary attracted many former students, and he believes even more would be interested in this event.

Current students will audition with songs that have been performed in past cabarets. Vallas hopes to have the former student who originally performed the song, introduce the current student on stage.

For those who won’t be able to make it, Vallas hopes to show video messages on the screen as well. He currently

has all past programs posted in his classroom, where students can choose which songs they want to sing. If a former student’s song isn’t chosen, they will have the opportunity to sing it themselves.

Cabaret will be the weekend of March 13 and 14 at NTHS. Vallas has created a Facebook as “NTHS Chorus Cabaret Alumni� and information can also be found on his website at www.ntsings.com. Questions can be directed to his email at dvallas@ntschools. org.

Robotics is the rage at St. John’s in Kenmore

Robotics is the rage at St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore. Science Chairperson Miss Katie Cooke launched a Robotics Club for her middle school students. Robotics is part of the school’s STEM/STREAM initiative that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, along with religion and the arts, into its curriculum.

Students are tasked to build robotic devices capable of performing numerous tasks, including moving blocks, pushing boxes, and clasping erasers.

In order to successfully complete such fetes, these young engineers spent months devising plans to build robots that would meet the challenges.

Katie Cooke commented, “It really required the students to work cooperatively, troubleshoot the strengths and weaknesses of their designs, and master the mechanics of building. They needed to use their macro-skills from various disciplines of science and focus the concepts to a pinpointed project. This requires my students to go beyond rote memorization of facts and forces them to have a solid understanding of the concepts.�

Two teams from St. John’s competed at the science scrimmage held at St. Joseph Collegiate Institute.

Cooke continues, “We had over a dozen students compete on two teams, selfnamed ‘The Circuit-Breakers’ and ‘The Rubber Duckies.’ The competitiveness between

Pictured left to right: Anna Stang and Noah VanValkinburgh. our own two in-house teams, along with competing among 20 Diocesan teams, was an added incentive for them to do their very best. Although St. Greg’s in Williamsville won the competition, I was very pleased

to have both our teams finish in the top five spots. Considering this was our inaugural year, I couldn’t have been prouder of our teams.�

Each year members of the PTA at Drake School, in North Tonawanda, work toward achieving their fundraising goals in order to help the students. Whether this means helping with the purchase of school supplies or fixing a broken pipe, like they have done in the past, all proceeds raised help better the experience of the students.

This year, fundraising efforts are being put forth by a new group that has formed called Friends of Drake School.

“We are raising funds to get a new playground for the school. The one the school has is from the 1990s and is beginning to show it’s age to put it nicely,” said Karen Skoney, a member of Friends of Drake School. “Our goal is not only a new playground but a handicap accessible playgrounds, which is more costly. So far we have received donations from Ted’s Hot Dogs, Holiday Inn, Rainbow Rink, Matt’s Music, The Melting Pot, Mighty Taco, Disney World, Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, UB Bulls Basketball and more are coming every day.”

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 array of very well done and thought-out projects as compared to the occasional refrigerator box with some duct tape holding it together,” said Voisinet with a laugh.

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 sister 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 pro-

L to R: Sweet Home students Alison Bell (freshman), Alyssa Duffy (freshman), Allie Perfetto (senior) and Madeline Bell (junior) placed third in the Cardboard Boat Regatta. gram 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.

“Whether they win or lose doesn’t matter,” Voisinet said. “The fact that they’re here and competing – that’s the win for every single one of these students.

It’s nice if they win, but you see a smile on all of these kids.”

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.

Kenmore Village Improvement Society plans February events, appoints financial advisor

By Kimberlee Sabshin

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

On Monday night, the Kenmore Village Improvement Society discussed some of its upcoming events for next month and appointed Elizabeth Hulley, CFP as the society’s financial advisor.

In February, the society will hold its Groundhog Day celebration 7 a.m., Monday, Feb. 2, in the Village Green in front of the municipal building. It will also have a “VD Skating Party,” in honor of Valentine’s Day and new neighbors, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 14 in Mang Park.

KVIS President Melissa Foster said her husband, Michael, and John Hulley, both KVIS members, started the Groundhog Day celebration several years ago.

They made a handmade tree

stump, with a door for a human “groundhog” to hide inside, to put in front of the municipal building.

Each year, a selected person dresses up as the groundhog, with the assistance of a rented costume, and hides inside the stump while Kenmore Mayor Patrick Mang and the Village Board give a presentation.

The celebration includes music, groundhog-shaped donuts from Paula’s Donuts and the attendance of some of the local children, who have not yet arrived at school.

“We had a naming contest to see what the name of our groundhog was going to be,” Foster said. “The children yell out, ‘Kenmore Kate, Kenmore Kate, come to prognosticate.’ The mayor comes to the door and knocks on the door of Kenmore Kate’s habitat.”

After a short period of

anticipation, “Kenmore Kate” comes out, stretches and points to a scroll, which she gives to the mayor, who reads the groundhog’s prognostication. This determines if spring is just around the corner or the village will have six more weeks of winter. The last Groundhog Day celebration took place two years ago, since it fell on a Sunday last year.

According to Foster, the Groundhog Day festivities are a lighthearted celebration of “great memories of being a kid in Kenmore,” while also being friendlier to groundhogs.

“It’s for teaching a good lesson: let wild things be wild. We don’t need to keep a wild groundhog just to bring it out, drugged, for three minutes once a year,” Foster said. “Of course, the prognostication about the weather talks about the weather and environmental

aspects and things like this, so it’s this whole wider topic. It’s a lot of fun.”

Foster said the VD Skating Party is weather permitting, with some festivities also held inside. The shelter will have music, games, crafts and treats. They also hope to have food trucks.

If the weather is too warm, only the indoor events will take place. It is also a time for KVIS to welcome any new neighbors who may have moved into the village in the last two years.

“There will be booklets welcoming them to Kenmore, and information from businesses, churches and everything that’s a part of Kenmore,” Foster said. “We do that every other year to welcome the new neighbors and throw them a party, and we are there to answer any questions for them. It really can help people connect to their community.”

After a short deliberation,

the KVIS board appointed Elizabeth Hulley to serve as the society’s financial advisor, having worked in her field for 30 years. She has served on boards and participated in organizations including the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, Professional Businesswomen of Polonia and the Response to Love Center in the City of Buffalo.

Local sports Canisius basketball finishes strong, drops St. Joe’s

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

It’s not how you start, but how you finish. And the Crusaders finished strong.

Madut Ayiy and Stafford Trueheart joined forces to score 22 of Canisius’ 27 fourth-quarter points as the visiting Crusaders scored a 60-50 come-from-behind win over the Marauders in the first round of the Canisius/St. Joe’s basketball rivalry that was played on Jan. 10.

The game was played before an estimated crowd of 1,000 fans that were not scared off by the poor weather conditions that had engulfed WNY. Knowing that their Delaware Avenue rivals had speed and athleticism on their side, the Marauders felt their best chance for victory was to throw a high-pressure, up-tempo, in-your-face style of defense at Canisius in hopes of getting

the Crusaders off their game.

It worked, as strong play from Marcell Davis (13 points/ nine rebounds), Matt Fritz and Edward Tabone helped St. Joe’s take a 12-9 lead after the first quarter. The Marauders’ lead grew to a shocking 27-15 advantage at halftime.

“They only had 15 points at halftime,” St. Joe’s coach Mark Simon said. “So you have to think what we tried to do had some kind of impact on them. So I was proud of the way our guys played.

They played hard. We were aggressive.”

“No excuses,” said Canisius coach Kyle Husband. “They did outwork us. That’s usually not a characteristic of one of our teams. They came out and they played hard and we didn’t in the entire first half. especially in the first quarter.”

Lack of communication on the court hampered the Crusaders throughout the first half as the scrappy Marauders simply out-worked and outhustled Canisius. Poor foul shooting was also an issue for Canisius, as the team went just four of 12 from the line in the second quarter and missed a total of 17 free throws in the

first half.

“We flowed better in the second half than in the first. We were kind of like scrambled in the first half. Not playing well,” said Ayiy. “But in the second half, coach (Husband) came to us, yelled at us, told us what we had to do.”

The play of Josh Huffman (13 points/five rebounds/four steals) helped Canisius chip away at the St. Joe’s lead and the Crusaders closed the gap to 40-33 after the third. St. Joe’s sophomore Nas Jackson (seven points/two assists) hit the first bucket of the fourth,but a 10-0 run that culminated with a bucket by Ayiy put Canisius in the drivers seat, 43-42.

From there it was all Ayiy (14 points/17 rebounds) and Trueheart (14 points) as St. Joe’s had no way to contain the 6-foot-7 Ayiy and 6-foot-6 Trueheart.

Even in defeat, Simon was pleased by what he saw from point guard Nas Jackson, who did not back down in the face of more experienced opponents.

“He’s a sophomore. He continues to grow,” Simon said. “The one thing about Nas is you put him on the court, something is going to happen.”

St. Joe’s basketball player Matt Fritz helped the Marauders build a big halftime lead, but the team still lost to Canisius on Jan. 10.

Local sports Milks focused on getting better each and every day

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

Charlie Milks’ father, Jason, gave his son a sage bit of advice that Charlie carries with him everyday.

“My dad always tells me try to get 1 percent better every day,” Milks said. “Every practice I try to work on something different or try to finish something else that I need to work on. So every day is important to me.”

Knowing that his dad wants nothing but the best for him, Milks said that those words of advice struck a chord and made him realize how important it is to make

the most of each day and each opportunity on the mat.

Judging by what he has done on the wrestling mat and football field for Kenmore West this season, Milks has indeed taken his dad’s words to heart.

Sporting a 26-5 win/loss record as of Jan. 12, Milks said he has already exceeded some of his initial expectations. But while wins and placing at tournaments have been nice, Milks has bigger goals in mind.

“Charlie, ever since day one of practice this year, he’s been committed. He’s probably the hardest working kid in our room,” said Kenmore West wrestling coach Bill Hineman. “He tries to get better every day, every match. Win or loss, he comes off and he learns from it. He’s a great kid to coach.”

Now in his junior season, Milks was introduced to

JEFFREY T. BARNES

Charlie Milks (bottom) has a 26-5 win-loss record so far this season. the sport at age 10 when he joined Kids Club wrestling.

Spending a few months out of the year with that program, as time went on, Milks discovered he had a

knack for the mat he began to immerse himself deeper and deeper into wrestling. Getting his first shot at varsity as an eighth grader, Charlie Milks smiles when he talks

about his debut match.

“I got whooped my first varsity match,” he said. “It was against a returning state qualifier. Pretty sure I got leg scissored in the first minute.

I didn’t even know who he was so I was like, ‘oh, I can go out and win this.’

I came off the mat and my coach told me, ‘he went to states.’ And I thought, ‘well that tells me how far I have to go to get to that level.’”

Focused on making it to the state wrestling tournament, Milks is also coming off of a strong season on the gridiron. A defensive gem for the Blue Devils, he not only played a key role in Kenmore West capturing the Section VI Class AA North title, but he was also named the AA North Defensive Player of the Year. Though he was extremely flattered by the honor, Milks is very humble in his approach as he explained that, in his eyes,

just helping his team do well is reward enough.

“I just want to go out and play,” he said, “so I guess it’s the same for wrestling.

I just go out, do my work, walk off the mat on go on to my next match.”

In a time when so many student-athletes act as if something is owed to them, Milks has the old-school mindset of ‘it’s a privilege to represent his school on the field of play.’

“What I’ve seen from Charlie, in every sport, not just wrestling, is he works hard and he earns everything he gets,” Hineman said.

For Milks, participating in high school sports is about the love of the game.

“Yeah,” Milks said. “I’ve been around both sports for so long that it’s kind of like second nature to me when I step onto the mat or onto the field. It’s my home away from home.”

Hemphill embraces increase in competition at O’Hara

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

It’s no mystery, really. Summer Hemphill wants to be the best and wants to play alongside the best teammates possible.

Hemphill, a junior, is currently enjoying her first season of varsity basketball with the Federation and Catholic state champion Cardinal O’Hara Lady Hawks.

Starting her career with Buffa-

lo PerformingArts, the 5-foot-11 Hemphill saw success early as she rang up an astonishing 785 career points in just two seasons.

But Hemphill wanted more than just lofty individual numbers.

“After I heard how good they were, it just pushed me to want to join them,” Hemphill said.

“O’Hara, as a school, I liked it. And all of my friends that I play AAU ball with, they all attend here. So I just thought it would be a fun experience to start something new.”

Hemphill was huge for Arts during her two seasons. especially last year when she almost helped lift her team to victory over eventual Section VI Class B champion Tonawanda when

the two clubs met in the B1 semifinals at Sweet Home High School.

While she enjoyed her time at Arts, Hemphill longed to test herself against the very best.

So far, she has been up to that challenge as she has averaged 17 points and 11 rebounds per game. But Hemphill is quick to say the switch to the Monsignor Martin Athletic Association has been a challenging one, to say the least.

“It is completely,” Hemphill said. “Playing in the Buffalo Public School district, it was completely different. This league is way more challenging and now that I’m playing for (O’Hara coach) Nick (O’Neil),

he has me doing a lot more than I was doing at my old school. So I’ve gotten better as a player.”

Used almost exclusively as a center while at Buffalo Arts, Hemphill said O’Neil has given her a much more expanded role at O’Hara.

“At Arts, basically all I did was play center,” Hemphill said. “Now I’m running more of a power forward. So I’m doing a lot more running and ball handling than I was before.”

Knowing that squaring off night after night against teams like Nardin, Sacred Heart and Mount Mercy, Hemphill was prepared for tougher games. But she said that the daily practices with her Lady Hawks team-

mates have pushed her to up her game as well. In fact, Hemphill has experienced an overall transformation and is becoming a more complete student-athlete with each passing day.

“Since she has come over her grades have improved,” said O’Neil. “Her attitude towards basketball has improved and her whole, total work ethic, growing into a young lady, has been great for her — and it’s been great for her school.”

Not just facing adjustments on the court, Hemphill is finding herself dealing with a whole new world as a student. The O’Hara curriculum and its 40 hours of community service are all new to Hemphill, but she has embraced

every new challenge “Before I came to O’Hara, I actually thought it would be more difficult,” Hemphill said.

“But now that I’m here, I’m just taking everything as it comes.

The academics at O’Hara are better than where I was before and they push me harder to work on my school work.”

Hemphill said that teammates like Cori Dickson, who is also a neighbor, have been a big part of making her transition to O’Hara a smooth one.

“Cori is like a little sister to me,” she said. “I also play travel basketball with her, so I’m with her throughout the whole year playing basketball, basically. So we’realwaystogethertraveling”

Town approves purchase of new snowplow trucks

By Kimberlee Sabshin

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

During its regular meeting on Monday, the Tonawanda Town Board voted to approve the purchase of two tandemaxle snowplow trucks, at a cost of $220,000, for the town’s highway department.

The cost will come from the highway equipment’s capital reserve fund. According to Highway Superintendent William Swanson, the trucks are necessary because some of the current fleet of vehicles are “getting pretty old,” dating back to 1990.

“We’ve gotten 25 years out of them,” Swanson said of the trucks. “They’re past due, but unfortunately, we’re having a hard time getting parts for them. Actually, we had to go to a scrap yard just to get some last week for one of them, so it’s time to replace a few of the vehicles.”

Swanson also clarified the impact of a new state law, regarding the recycling of electronic equipment, on town residents. Effective Jan. 1, small to medium-sized electronic devices, including computers, televisions,

DVD players and video game consoles, must be recycled.

Swanson said since the devices cannot be put into a recycling tote, they should be left by the curb.

“Right now, you still can put it out curbside,” Swanson said. “We’re negotiating – actually, we should have a contract with Erie County to pick up our electronic recycling, but right now, we don’t, so we’re just storing it in our building at the time. It just can’t go into a landfill. The state requires that you not put it into a landfill, which our stuff hasn’t for years.”

Although the town does not currently have a contract to remove the recycled electronics from the town, it is negotiating one, as other Erie County municipalities have already done.

“I think the bids open in the next couple of days, and then we’ll know where we stand, and what avenue we’re going to use to get rid of the stuff,” added Swanson.

Also on Monday, Councilman Daniel Crangle, who is also chairman of the Youth, Parks and Recreation Department, reminded residents that the town’s annual Winterfest,

which began on Thursday, will be continuing through the weekend, concluding Monday, Jan. 19.

On Saturday, a variety of events will be taking place at Lincoln Arena, including a men’s outdoor softball tournament at 10 a.m., Thunder Select hockey games versus Coronation from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. and free recreational skating in the arena from 2:15-4 p.m. A mini-mite hockey game will be held from 4:15-6:15 p.m., followed by recreational skating until 9 p.m.

Additionally, the heated DFK Pavilion will feature children’s activities at 1 p.m., Mr. No the Balloon Guy at 3:30 p.m. and magician Robert Allen at 4:30 p.m. Local singer and songwriter Kevin McCarthy will play an acoustic show inside the pavilion at 7 p.m.

On Sunday, Jan. 18, there will be a co-ed softball tournament at noon, along with the annual charity Winterfest Classic hockey game, held between the Town of Tonawanda Police Department and the firefighters of the Ellwood Fire Company, at noon in Lincoln Arena.

Learning about alternative forms of energy is a gas for conservation program The Conservation students at the Niagara Career and Technical Education Center recently spent a day at Western New York Energy. The company is located in Medina, New York and produces renewable energy in the form of ethanol.

Teachers Paul Dewey and Brandon Lindke say that the visit was great for their students, who are interested in natural resources and how to preserve the environment.

“Ethanol is a high octane enhancer and oxygenate that reduces air pollution.

This plant is the first of its kind in the northeast of the United States,” says Mr. Dewey. “On an annual basis the process 20 million bushels of corn

into 55 million gallons of fuel grade ethanol and 1.8 million gallon of crude corn oil which they sell as a feed product.”

Students first saw a video about how the plant produces the products and had a talk with the Controller Tim Winters and then got to see each of the buildings up close and personal. “I think the students were astounded by the sheer size of the facility and the equipment,” says Mr. Lindke.

“It was fascinating to see how they take the corn and turn into ethanol. We are very appreciative of the time they spent with the students and allowing them to see this process.”

Hey, can we talk for a minute? My name is Genevive and to me, age is just a number.

Being 6 years old has not cramped my style... I love to play, be petted and brushed and I am very good with other kitties. So, if my age does not bother me, why would it bother you... older kitties are the best and I would like to prove it to you. Come and visit me at PetSmart on Transit Rd. in Clarence or call Second Chance Sheltering at 652-6051.

Another Clue To Help You Spot Sampson

Fairgrounds to host fifth annual WNY Farm Show Hamburg, NY- The Fairgrounds will host the fifth annual Western New York Farm Show from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 5, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7. The show will utilize both the brand new Agriculture Discovery Center, and the Showplex.

The show offers guests workshops and seminars that encompass many facets of agribusiness. Some of these seminars include “Rules and Regulations of the Highway,” “Beef Production and Embryo Transplant,” and “Solar and Wind Energy.” More events will be added as the event approaches.

Regional farm owners, landscapers, agribusinesses, and anyone with an interest in the agriculture industry are invited to attend the admission-free trade show. Free onsite parking will be available for the show.

Guests may enter the show via McKinley Parkway.

Farming in New York State is big business, with more than 35,500 farms operating within the state; agribusiness is a $5 billion dollar industry. The Farm Show works to connect the members of this

essential industry from equipment providers and farm service agencies to local farmers, agriculturalists, and horticulturists.

Exhibitors include Empire Livestock Marketing, Hubner Seed, Jared Kramer Forest Management, Texas Refinery Corp., Teitsworth Trailers, Organic Valley, and NY Beef Producers. For a complete listing of vendors, visit the WNY Farm Show website at wnyfarmshow.com.

Fairgrounds Agriculture Manager Jessica Underberg states, “The show is another part of the Fairgrounds’ continuous efforts to fulfill its mission statement of agriculture education. The staff has worked hard to bring the WNY Farm show to the grounds for another great year.”

Businesses may continue to apply to become part of the WNY Farm Show through December 31, 2014. The show is a great opportunity for businesses to get out in front of local consumers.

For more information about becoming a vendor or about the WNY Farm Show, contact Kirby Dygert at kdygert@ecfair.org or by phone at (716) 649-3900 ext. 6488
