Heavy snowfall leads to flooding Lancaster village OEM prepares for the worst By Jennifer Lysiak

THE LANCASTER SUN EDITOR

Mother Nature continued to test the strength of a community this past week. Only a few days after the Lancaster community was hit with a winter snowstorm, resulting in 7 feet of snow, flooding became a concern as the temperature warmed up Monday, snow began to melt, and rain came through the area. There was also a possibility of power outages in the area as a high-wind warning remained in effect through 4 a.m. Tuesday with gusts up to 70 miles per hour, which could result in downed trees on and around power lines. Lancaster Village Director of Emergency Management Scott M. Kuhlmey said on Tuesday it has been an exceptionally long week for

Village OEM officials monitored the ice jam at Como Park. him and many individuals. For days they worked endlessly to make sure Lancaster was a head of whatever Mother Nature had to throw at them. A major concern for the area was the amount of snowfall and trying to clear the roadways. “That presented chal-

heavy equipment out to start clearing the main roads.” Kuhlmey added they also experienced a high volume of calls regarding odors of natural gas in the homes throughout the village. Most of the calls were contributed to blocked furnace vents. The snow was blocking the air intakes of some homes

Kuhlmey. There were numerous calls from homeowners experiencing flooding in their basements, some roadways became flooded, some ice jamming in Como Park, which eventually broke free, and there was flooding in the line areas along Cayuga Creek. Keeping an eye on Cayuga Creek, around 5 p.m. Monday, the highest peak was 9.29 feet. Kuhlmey said flood stage is at 8 feet and early projections put it just below 10 feet.

lenges for all the emergency responders- police, fire, EMS- able to respond to emergency calls,” remarked Kuhlmey. “There were a number of first aid calls where first responders had a very difficult time being able to respond to those requesting assistance until we could get high lifts or other

causing natural gas and the odor to feed back into the home. “That was a major issue earlier on, as well as Carbon Monoxide type concerns, which were also related to the furnace vents in most cases,” said Kuhlmey. As things progressed the weight of the snow became a challenge for a number of buildings around the village, which lead to porches collapsing and cracked ceilings and walls in some homes. “So, it progressed from being a navigation issue to where we started seeing structural issues, which from there lead to the flooding issues due to the melting snow and rain,” explained

Boy Scout Troop 864 will be hosting its annual Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser at the Elks Lodge, 33 Legion Parkway, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday Dec. 4. Open to the public, the dinner is $7 for adults and $5 for children under 10, with pre-sale tickets currently being sold by the Scouts. Tickets will be available at the door as well. Committee Chair Erika Rutland said that despite the storm this past week the dinner is still on, albeit with minor setbacks. “Advertising and donations

have been slow with businesses being closed for four days,” remarked Rutland. The troop and its organizers are hoping to supplement this with the raffles taking place and selling more dinner tickets. Rick Bukowski will be at the helm in the kitchen, overseeing the sauce and distributing work to those volunteering behind the scenes. Bukowski is a household name when it comes to the annual spaghetti feast, still helping with the event he started more than 10 years ago, even though his two sons graduated to Eagle Scouts and are out of school. “He’s the secret behind the

sauce,” added Rutland. A basket raffle and 50/50 draw will be hosted by the Friends of Troop 864, to show support for all the hard work the Scouts put forth from year to year. The Friends are affiliated to the troop either through a relative or as you guessed it friends to help in any way they can. For example, it’s within the Boy Scouts guidelines to not participate in any sort of gambling, so the Friends helped organize the 50/50 and Chinese Auction to raise funds for the Scouts that normally couldn’t be obtained on their own, along with the cash door prize. Proceeds help pay for vari-

ous scouting activities, like camping events and training courses. Rutland revealed the big trip she is hoping to send the boys of 864 on: Algonquin High Adventure Camp. It’s relatively new, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience nature and fully immerse in the landscape, while testing themselves as well. Regular trips to Camp Schoellkopf are also funded by events like the spaghetti dinner, where the scouts learn how to “learn sustainability and green practices while camping,” said Rutland. The troop makes sure to participate in a service function once a month, getting out into the community and

representing the Boy Scouts of America by wearing their uniforms. They try to keep it local with can drives and other community events. It’s a way to challenge these boys to do better, for the community and for themselves. Rutland’s son is a Boy Scout too, so she knows firsthand how important it is to instill values learned through them. “It’s wonderful to see my own son grow up in this group to be a good citizen and lead a happy life. It’s important to get together and share their knowledge,” Rutland said. Those interested in purchasing tickets for the spaghetti dinner can contact Rutland at 480-8354.

Food drive to help local families By Sallie Moppert

THE LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT

The holiday season is often a time for people to reflect and be thankful for the things that they have in their lives. For some people, it means being thankful for a roof over their heads and food on the table. Others may not be so fortunate to have food on their own tables. To help these less fortunate families in their time of need, Erie County Legislator Ted Morton has announced a food drive to help benefit some local organizations. The food drive will benefit the Alden-Marilla Community Food Pantry and the Tri-Community Food Pantry. The community is invited to donate non-perishable goods to any of the designated drop off zones throughout the community to assist families in need this coming holiday season. “The Alden and TriCommunity Food Pantries work extremely hard to provide food to families

in need,” Morton said. “Keeping the shelves stocked isn’t always an easy task so to help their efforts, I am partnering with the senior centers, town halls and chambers of commerce in my district to collect food to deliver to the Alden-Marilla and TriCommunity Food Pantries to ensure our neighbors receive the help they need to put food on the table.” There will be several organizations within the community that will be accepting donations of nonperishable food items to the food drive. Each of these locations will have a collection boxes that are specifically to collect donations for the food drive. These places include: the Cheektowaga Senior Center, located at 3349 Broadway in Cheektowaga; the Lancaster Senior Center, located at 100 Oxford Ave. in Lancaster; the Lancaster Town Hall, located at 21 Central Ave. in Lancaster; the Alden Town Hall, located at 3311 Wende Road in Alden; and the Alden Chamber of Commerce, located at 13500 Broad-

way in Alden. “I want to thank these locations for participating as drop off sites,” Morton added. “Without them, this food drive wouldn’t be possible.” Some types of non-perishable foods include but are not limited to: canned goods, boxed cereals, peanut butter, cake or pancake mix, sugar, baby formula, and more. “Please give what you are able to,” Morton encouraged the community. “Even a few small items can go a long way. Every year the need grows and I am hoping through this food drive we can help meet that need.” The food drive is running now through Monday, Dec. 15. The deadline for the food drive was extended due to the inclement weather received recently. For questions or more information, contact Legislator Morton at 858-8856 or Communications Director Jessica O’Neil at 8588808.

Sen. Gallivan to host small business summit in Lancaster Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma) is teaming up with the Lancaster Area Chamber of Commerce, the Alden Chamber of Commerce and leaders in business development to present a small business summit at Try-It Distributing Inc. from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3.

Gallivan served as the Deputy Leader of the Republican Conference for Economic Development and serves on the Senate’s Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business Committee. The committee is responsible for overseeing and developing legislation and policy relating

to state regulations, mandates, tax credit programs, and growth incentives for all business sectors in the state. The summit will also feature Frank Swiatek, who serves as Sen. Gallivan’s senior advisor for Small Business. Swiatek is a private sector consultant and has worked with numerous small businesses and more than 25 Fortune 500 companies.

“The levels were very erratic and a lot of that was due to the snow melting and the ice jamming,” he said. “From that point we saw a steady decrease.” At around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, the water level was at 6.55 feet, which is just above action stage. “Action stage is just a flag for us to start paying attention to it. We see it continue to decrease from this point forward. We don’t see any potential for it to go back up,” said Kuhlmey. Also, on Monday the village’s sanitary sewer system was at capacity, which was resolved by Tuesday. Residents were asked to avoid doing laundry, taking showers, etc. While no one can control what Mother Nature is going to bring or do, a number of corrective measures were put in place a head of the snow melting and rain. About 1,000 filled sandbags were brought in from the state, the village OEM also had 2,000 empty sandbags on inventory, the village Department of Public Works (DPW) deployed a number of large pumps that go into the sewer drains, and an additional 12 water pumps were obtained through New York State and used. For the extreme measure, Kuhlmey said they also mobilized the FDNY, the fire department of New York City, to provide a swift water rescue team, along with the New York State Office Fire Prevention and Control (OFPC). With that resource it brought them two boats, a swift water rescue team with all the equipment that comes along with it, such as wet suits and tools. It also brought a high axle ve-

I wanted to get ahead of it and mobilize the resources early so if we needed it we had it.” A shelter was also established in case a situation arose where they needed to evacuate any residents. Furthermore, other fire departments through a mutual aid agreement assisted as the Storm Emergency Fire Units (SEFU.) These units helped to provide vehicles and manpower to respond to the fire department’s utility calls, taking some of the burden off the fire service to respond to these specific calls.

Lastly, Kuhlmey requested assistance from the Department of Corrections to assist with shoveling out storm drains, so drains were not covered by the snow when it melted, as well as fire hydrants. LakeView Correction and Rochester Gas and Electrical, through NYSEG, came out to assist. In addition, Lancaster had a visit by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo early in the week to view equipment staged in preparation for potential flooding and reminded residents and local officials of resources available should flooding, power outages, or other emergency situations occur following the recent major snowstorm in Western New York. “We are continuing to hope that the worst has passed and

flooding or strong winds do not cause any problem here in Western New York,” Governor Cuomo said Monday. “However, the State and our local partners are still continuing to take every precaution to keep New Yorkers safe amid the possibility that flooding could occur and heavy winds could cause more destruction, and I urge residents to do the same and be prepared.” But fortunately for residents as the day went on Tuesday everything started to improve. The swift water team was demobilized, the village’s sewer capacity was stabilized, water pumps continued to work, and the amount of emergency calls decreased.

Technology transforming the classroom Schools look and feel very different in 2014 than they did just a decade ago. Technology opens the door for 24/7 learning. As educators, our task is to facilitate learning for our students, and our schools must offer options to learn using emerging technologies, as well as teach students to be responsible in their use. The Lancaster Central School District is fortunate to be a leader in these endeavors and we are grateful for our community’s support. During the past year we have undergone many sensational changes and upgrades in our technology infrastructure to give students and staff access to information anywhere, any time, and on any device. As a result of the 2012 capital project approved by the community, students and staff have begun to see increased

technology options including Chromebooks, iPads, Google applications and, in January 2015, access for high school students to bring their own devices to school and wirelessly link with the district’s network. The availability of WiFi throughout the district is a significant accomplishment of the capital project. All staff will have WiFi access along with high school students. Cell phone use has been permitted in the high school for more than four years, and WiFi now provides additional options for students to use their own laptops, iPads, and other personal devices for instruction, to support research, and selfdirected learning. To prepare for this sea of change, our technology mentors have traveled throughout the district introducing faculty to a myriad of technology applica-

Superintendent of Schools Michael J. Vallely

tions. Many teachers have embraced technology in their classrooms. Google Classroom, for example, gives a teacher the ability to assign coursework, videos, and Google documents to students. The documents can be assigned by teachers and completed by students anytime, anywhere. Students from Kindergarten through grade 12 use Chromebooks daily, with an ever-increasing demand. More than 600 Chromebooks have been provided for classroom use, and the district utilizes Google Apps for Education to support instruction on the devices. Classroom instruction is being ‘flipped,’ with teachers creating videos for students to view as homework. In this way, students are introduced to concepts before they are addressed in class, freeing instruc-

tional time for reinforcement and enhancement of the material. In the past, students turned in paper copies of their completed homework. Many teachers now advise students to post assignments in Google Drive, where teachers can view and edit student work, returning assignments quickly and paperlessly. While this is just a brief overview of how technology is transforming the classroom, we invite you to learn more in the next Your Lancaster Schools. Also, visit the district website, www.lancasterschools.org to see how the schools are using technology, social media, podcasts and more to keep parents, students, and community members well informed. Michael J. Vallely, Ph.D. Superintendent of Schools

Snowmobilers should register their sleds in Erie County Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs wants to remind snowmobilers to register their sleds “locally” and avoid the registration rush by mailing in their snowmobile registrations using the signature green “Renew Local” envelope or doing so at any of the Erie County Auto Bureaus. “Snow has already begun to fly and we do not want any snowmobiler to be delayed in being properly registered”, said Jacobs. “Winter in Erie County is more fun on a snowmobile and we want riders ready to enjoy the season.” Members of a snowmobile club will save money on their sled’s registration, as the rate is only $47.50. Non-members will pay the full registration cost of $102.50. Snowmobilers are encouraged to contact the New York State Snowmobile Association by visiting www.nysnowmobiler.com for information on joining local clubs and to obtain

your registration voucher. To register using the “Renew Local” envelope riders need to complete and mail in both sides of a New York State Snowmobile Registration Form (MV-82SN), a photocopy of existing snowmobile registration, and a copy of the registrant’s driver’s license. Snowmobile club members need to also send proof of membership in a NYSSA snowmobile club. Mail everything to: Christopher L. Jacobs, Erie County Clerk, 92 Franklin Street-Suite 1, Buffalo, NY 14202 including a check, per sled, made payable to the “Erie County Clerk”. Your snowmobile registration will be mailed back to you within 10 business days upon receipt of renewal form. Erie County snowmobile trails are usually scheduled to open in mid-December, providing the ground is frozen and there is at least 6 inches of snow. Riders are encouraged to check with

their local clubs to ensure trails have been opened and to obtain the latest information on snowmobiling safety courses in and around Erie County. “We hope that all snowmobilers will register their sleds locally,” said Jacobs. “By doing so it helps keep needed money in Erie County instead of going to Albany.” For forms and additional registration information riders can visit www.erie.gov/registrations or contact the Erie County Auto Bureau Call Center at 858-7450. Snowmobilers can also visit the Erie County Auto Bureau’s website at www. erie.gov/autobureau, go to the Online Reservations page and schedule an appointment at any of the three largest auto bureaus operated by the county clerk’s office - Amherst, Cheektowaga and downtown Buffalo.

The Lancaster Sun / Saturday, November 29, 2014

St. Vincent de Paul helps the less fortunate year round stand they have a duty to help others. It also serves as a way for contact with a different part of the population,” said John Trojanowsky, executive director of the Lancaster Youth Bureau. The youth bureau organizes a trip to St. Vincent one Saturday every month, mainly to fulfill a volunteer requirement for Depew and Lancaster high schoolers. But there’s always the case of students that want to go back, not because it’s required but because they want too. It’s a humbling process, dealing with clientele directly, realizing these people aren’t all that different

By Amy Robb

THE LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT

St. Vincent De Paul Society is well known for its soup kitchen at 1298 Main St.m in Buffalo, helping the less fortunate throughout the year. With the holidays coming up, the kitchen is experiencing an influx of help from volunteers and organizations in Western New York to help. Students volunteering through the Lancaster Youth Bureau drove down together on Nov. 8 to help out in the kitchen area, serving meals and preparing food. “It’s important to under-

from themselves. “They help prepare the food, and serve it to the folks there. So they get to meet people, deal with people face to face. It’s important to see there are others less fortunate and to appreciate what they have in their lives,” said Mark Zirnheld, executive director of St. Vincent de Paul. The needs seems to be greater too. In 1982, the society served more than 12,000 meals in a day. Ten years later, it increased to 100,000 a year. “I think [the society] capitalized on a need that was out there. We haven’t really seen that number go down. We average 285

meals per day, so there is still a need for it. It’s not the same group of people but there are still hungry people in Buffalo looking for a hot meal,” said Zirnheld. The society has found that breaking the help down to local subsidiaries benefits both the volunteer and those in need. Volunteers want to know that what they’re doing has a direct impact on people in their community, and those looking to get a meal sometimes don’t have the means to travel far. A lot of them are elderly, in apartments that don’t provide the amenities to make a hot meal themselves, according to Zirnheld. Localizing volunteer efforts is some-

thing adopted as the need changed. A good example of this can be seen in the response after last week’s storm. Food and blankets were transported to West Seneca for people affected be the severe weather. Zirnheld went on to say that “When there are different weather related emergencies, we start getting information on what is needed a week or two after clean up, whether its food, clothing, or help repairing.” Zirnheld stressed that hunger doesn’t go away after the holidays. They are open 365 days a year, and especially in the summer volunteers are needed. For

students that have off, this is the perfect opportunity to get that credit to graduate and contribute when it is needed the most. “Everyone forgets, come July, that we’re still open and serving meals. That’s when we could use help then. We couldn’t serve as many people as we do without volunteer assistance. We just couldn’t do it,” remarked Zirnheld.

2014-15 Hockey Preview Lancaster hockey looks to rebound from down 2013-14 campaign, work ethic is key

By William Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

For the past decade that it’s played Federation hockey, the Lancaster High Redskins varsity squad has been a strong contender— until last season, that is, when it went 5-10-1 after its 16-game league schedule. That team suffered from a loss of talent due to graduation and the advancement to the junior hockey ranks, much like its experiencing this season. Redskin skipper Kevin Miller, however, isn’t used to losing after spending decades with a successful program, and doesn’t think last season’s blip in history will repeat itself this time around—if, that is, his team continues to gel as a unit like it had done in the first two weeks of official practice at the Depew Ice Pavilion. “But the kids that are coming up have some big 2014-15 Fed Schedule Dec. 7 vs. Nia.-Wheatfield 1 p.m. at Buffalo State Dec. 13 vs. Will.

shoes to fill and will need to prove themselves,” he said on Friday (Nov. 14). “I hope they do well; I have my fingers crossed for them.” The Redskins, though, aren’t just relying on luck this season, because they do have a handful of returners that are looking to prove last season was just a fluke; that they’re a better team than they showed in 2013-14. Two of those returners are senior forwards Josh Hendel and Tyler DeYoung, who both understand the size of the shoes needing to be filled, but aren’t using that as an excuse. “I don’t want to see them as a loss at all, but only time will tell once we get into our games,” said DeYoung, who’s going into his third varsity stint. “After a few games, we’ll get to see where we’re at, but for now, I think we’re starting to develop chemistry as a team.” That hasn’t happened without its adjustments, though, because the Redskins had to move former forwards Daniel Chowaniec and Anthony Cottrell to roles as defensemen for the coming campaign. “But I think we’re starting to fill the gaps, and they’re starting to become comfortable with those positions,” DeYoung said of the pair, “so I guess we’re just going to have to see how it goes.” Chowaniec and Cottrell will be filling voids left by defensemen Cole Brooks and captain Shawn Kross, who’s now playing for the University at Buffalo. “Cole Brooks was a big loss,” explained Hendel, who’s in his second varsity season. “It took away from our defensive depth a little… we’ve been coming together in practice a lot and the team is starting to work better together.” That team also had an early-season battle for the top net-minder spot between junior Matt Lenhard and senior Nick Myers, who look to replace Justin DiChristopher between the pipes. “I hope they both succeed,” Miller said. “I’m going to give them the same opportunity, but if one gets hot, you might see that one more than the other.”

WILLIAM WILCZEWSKI

Lancaster junior goalie Matt Lehnard makes a save during the Redskins’ practice a few weeks ago. Defensively, it’s “going to come down to effort,” he added. “We’re going to have to be a very responsibly team to make sure we limit opportunities for the other team.” As for offense, Miller said his Redskins are “going to be a blue collar team. We’re going to have to create a lot of traffic in front of the net and use our big bodies for screens. I’m not fancy in terms of scoring goals, so you’re going to see a lot of gritty hockey.” That grit is going to come from what Miller says is one of his “biggest teams in quite some time.” And Lancaster will need that kind of size to contend with the likes of Niagara Wheatfield, probably the top Division 1 team in WNY that was bounced in the West Regional tournament last season. As for Lancaster’s other league

foes, the Redskins will need to look out for frontrunners Williamsville North and Bishop Timon, plus St. Joe’s, Clarence, Canisius and Orchard Park. In fact, Will North coach Bob Rosen recorded his 400th career win last season, so in order to top the Spartans, Hendel said, “I think we’re going to have to keep doing a lot of what we’re doing, which is skating hard and practicing hard and training hard—and just staying focused on that goal that we want to be the best team in our division; and that we can be, we just got to work hard for it; maybe harder than other teams, but we can do it.” Last season, though, the squad had issues scoring goals—something that’s gotta change in 2014-15. “It’s a matter of working as a team, not as much as individuals because we don’t

have those kind of players on this team,” DeYoung explained. “We don’t have a superstar but that doesn’t mean we can’t get the job done.” A few new faces just might be the key on that front for Lancaster, in the form of Zach Fischer, Matt Rachielle and Brandon Voight, a new partial line that DeYoung simply says, “can put the puck in the net. Them three, when they work together, it just clicks.” Proof of that came last season on the junior varsity level when the musketeers’ line accounted for half of the team’s goals on the season. The trio has been playing together for five-plus years, said Miller, “so I hope that (success) transfers to the varsity level.” “We’re going to need to capitalize on every chance that we get,” Hendel added. “We can’t let any scoring

chance go by. And defensively, we’re going to have to be as sound as we possibly can. We’re just going to have to work hard in our zone before we can play a good offense, because defense wins games.”

Romano, relay team hurt by storm but still impress at states Super sophomore now headed to Senior Nationals

By William Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. Missing a few days of swim practice prior to the state meet took a toll on Section VI athletes in Ithaca Nov. 21-22. Still, the Lancaster High girls team managed to impress with second- and sixth-place individual finishes, plus a 27thplace relay team finish—a historical accomplishment for the Lady Redskins program. Individually, it was super sophomore Kristen Romano who got the silver in the 200-yard individual medley in 2 minutes, 04.96 seconds, plus sixth in the backstroke in 56.84. She also earned AllAmerican consideration times in those events this season, but with the time away from the pool because of Snowvember, she knew she could have done even better in Ithaca. “Missing those practices really hurt, but we got there and I felt alright,” Romano said. “I knew there was going to be good competition there, and there was … but it was a good race and I had a good time.” Lancaster coach Mark Ayers also realized how much Mother Nature interfered with his star swimmer’s build up to the

Lancaster’s 400 freestyle relay team took 27th out of 37 teams at the state meet Nov. 21-22. state’s elite meet, but was happy in the end, all considered. “She swam great races,” he said of Romano. “They weren’t her best times … but she did what she could after not swimming for two or three days.” In fact, Lancaster was lucky just to be able to compete at all after all the white stuff blanketed the area, and Lancaster being one of the harder hit areas in Western New York. Ayers couldn’t even leave his house until Nov. 20, then needed police clearance to make the southeast trip. “Hopefully next year it’ll

be less weather intense,” he said, “but it was a good time. It was unfortunate that the snow storm came when it did, so (Romano) was a little disappointed (with her outcomes), but she’s ready to get back to work.” That work will be done as part of TWST (Town Wreckers Swim Team), her Orchard Park-based swim club, when she competes in the Senior Nationals in Greensboro, N.C., from Dec. 3-6, “so she’s got time to get back up to speed,” Ayers said. “I think she’ll do some damage there. She’s got her eyes back on the prize, and

she’s not ready to quit yet.” Lancaster senior Marissa DiRienzo, on the other hand, has no choice but to quit her prep swimming career—but went out with a bang when her 400 freestyle relay team took 27th out of 37 teams at the state meet in 3:45.19. DiRienzo was joined by Romano, plus eighth-graders Molly Hewitt and Ivy Vallely, who dropped a half second and secured her best leg-time to date. “It was such an emotional thing,” Romano said of making school history, “and it was

just so surreal watching the younger girls, who hadn’t been to state before. It was so surreal watching them experience it for the first time.” “It was a great opportunity to swim in the finals, and a great experience for (Hewitt and Vallely) especially,” Ayers added. “It was also a great way for Marissa to finish her career.” DiRienzo’s high school career, that is, because the senior will now go on to the pool at Canisius College, where she will become a Lady Griffin next season. And while that

will be her first time competing at the collegiate level, Nov. 2122 was the first time for a Lady Redskin relay team to qualify for state competition, “so it was an awesome accomplishment for these girls,” Ayers said, adding that while alternate Dri Wasik didn’t get the chance to hit the pool in Ithaca, she also learned a lot just by being there. “They were all excited,” he said. “The younger ones were nervous, but I told them, ‘You earned it, so do what you do best’—and they swam well. They swam hard, and were confident and stayed upbeat.” That’s the same attitude Romano plans to keep during her first trip to the Senior Nationals. “It’s a snappy-quick turnaround, but I usually do my best when I’m keeping busy,” she said. “There are going to be a lot of great swimmers there; some of the best girls in the country … so I’m really looking to make a final there, improve my time and just have some good races.” As for the races at the state meet, they earned Lancaster a 28th place finish out of 88 scoring teams with 39 points. Pittsford won with 279 points. Pittsford, though, didn’t have the inconvenience of Snowvember to deal with. But because Lancaster did, they got their fair share of complements from other coaches throughout the state. “They said they were proud of us that we even made it,” Ayers explained, “and that we swam so well despite it all.”

Redskins eyeing Gruesome Twosome: Kudos to coach quick turnaround for shifting spotlight to where it belongs “Hockey” from page A6 And those new defenders— Chowaniec and Cottrell—are adjusting well to their new roles. “They’re both two tough kids,” DeYoung said. “They’re both strong, and I know they can both play the body. It’s just a matter of them feeling comfortable in that area.” At the end of the day, though, the Redskins as a whole have to be comfortable as one unit in order to meet their ultimate goal—which is being better than the hapless Buffalo Sabres. DeYoung can’t even stand to watch his hometown NHLteam play this season, while Hendel has some thoughts on the topic that Sabres skipper Ted Nolan would be happy to hear. “They’re just a young team,” Hendel said. “They’re going to need to do a lot of building, but I think that they’ll be good in a few years.” DeYoung and Hendel, though, are just hoping it won’t take quite so long for their

young Redskin squad. “Once we mesh and once we learn to play together, and see where each other are going to be on the ice and get to know each other’s playing styles, we’re going to be a force,” Hendel said. “I know people see our team as a doubt, just because of the people that we did lose,” DeYoung added. “The names we have on this team aren’t big names, but I’m not worried about that. So long as we do what we can and develop our skills and work together as a team, I think we can win games, go to the playoffs and do well.” Lancaster captains are slated to be announced at the program’s holiday party, which is scheduled this year for Dec. 10. After a six-team scrimmage at Pittsford, slated Nov. 22, the Redskins are on tap to begin the regular season on Dec. 7 at Buffalo State versus Niagara Wheatfield.

os, I was bugging these coaches like my next meal depended on it—which, of course, it didn’t. I was just going crazy with Too-Much-Time-On-MyHands Syndrome. Rath, on the other hand, didn’t have enough hours in the day, yet he still managed to call me before heading out to yet another long, labor-filled shift that made sure all residents could not only eventually get around again, but do it safely. The man could have easily said, “This four-eyed, bald man can wait!” But he didn’t. Instead, he picked up the phone and discussed his team, and their hopes and dreams and realistic expectations for the coming 2014-15 campaign. My hope is that by doing just that, coach Rath was getting his mind off all the madness that was going on during the now-dubbed

Snowvember nightmare that was created by BOTH Mother Nature and Old Man Winter—because if you ask me, they’re both to blame. Rath, on the other hand, didn’t blame anyone or anything—and also didn’t shirk his duties as the head boys hardwood skipper at St. Mary’s High. He would have been justified in doing so. He didn’t. So, kudos where kudos is due! Thanks, Paul—not only for making our streets safe again (if that weren’t enough), but also for taking the time to put your kids in the spotlight. When the season preview article comes out, I imagine people will certainly be glad to be reading about them—and getting on with their lives after the mess that The Gruesome Twosome left in their legendary 2014 Buffalo wake.

Lancers hopeful to contend in tough MMAA “Lancers” from page A6 Helping take some of the pressure off Smith will be his step-brother—senior captain Zach Ineson, Rich’s biological son—who led all Monsignor Martin Athletic Association defenseman in scoring last year. “My mind always wants to go offensive but my heart’s always about defense first,” coach Ineson explained. “Sometimes it’s hard to get kids to buy into that, but I think everything starts there—and we’ve got great goaltending, so it starts there and moves its way out. “We try to build on D first and then work our offense out,” he continued, “so you try to have a good balance because you don’t want to have too much of one

and not the other.” That’s where forward Mike Wierzbicki falls into the picture because “he’s the one I’m looking for this year to really step up and be a points guy,” Rich Ineson said. “I’m expecting big things from (Wisniewski), too. He’s an extremely fast, talented player, and I think he’s going to be key to a lot of our wins.” Four-year senior winger David Filion will also be needed to come up big if the Lancers are to compete in Division III with the likes of Sweet Home, NorthTonawanda and Lockport, plus MMAA foes St. Francis, Canisius, Timon and St. Joe’s— all of which are some of the toughest costumers out there.

Timon, however, is reported to have lost about a dozen seniors from last season’s squad and St. Francis hasn’t been quite able to keep the pace in the ranks of the Big Four, so “I think we’ll be competitive with St. Francis and Timon this year,” coach Ineson said, “but Canisius and St. Joe’s, they’re just powerhouses, you know? “But we just try to compete with those guys,” he added, “and if we get the goaltending and we can get a couple of goals on turnovers or mistakes, we’re going to be pretty good.” St. Mary’s’ first test comes Monday, Dec. 1 when it opens the season at Hyde Park against North Tonawanda at 8:45 p.m.

“Especially with the forwards and defensemen, we have to work really hard this year,” Matt Wierzbicki said. “We’re not the kind of team that’s going to skate around with the puck and make fancy plays, so we just got to work hard; get deep in the corners and work hard for the puck and stuff.” That’s exactly what the Lancers did last season when they beat St. Francis to reach the Final Four for the first time in decades. Despite being down just 1-0 through two periods, though, they went on to lose 7-3 to Timon because “our guys just ran out of gas in the third period,” Ineson explained, “plus penalties hurt us and guys got tired and they

got hurt, but that was an accomplishment because for 25 years St. Mary’s had never been in that Final Four. It’s always been those four schools.” Because of that, the beginning of the end of the Ineson Era at St. Mary’s starts on a positive note—one the Lancers hope they can carry through to February. “They know they competed last year, and I think being bigger and stronger will help,” Ineson said, “plus those other schools graduated a lot of players, and we didn’t, so I’m hoping that’s going to make a difference for us.” Again, Mason should also be a difference-maker for the Lancers in 2014-15—some-

thing that hasn’t been lost on his teammates. “He keeps us in games all the time,” Mike Wierzbicki said. “He faces a lot of shots … so it’s nice to know we got a goalie like him to back us up. He gives us a chance to win.” To make sure he doesn’t face as many shots this season, Matt Wierzbicki said he and his fellow defensemen have a plan: “I just think we need to get the breakout moving and get the puck deep in the offensive zone. We gotta keep shots away from him by maybe blocking a couple, throw some off the boards; just give him some time to rest in between flurries of shots.”

Local women ‘Knit it Forward’ for Roswell

By Jennifer Lysiak

THE LANCASTER SUN EDITOR

Embracing the opportunity to get together and sew, knit and crochet a group of women who reside in Woodland Place Apartments in Depew are keeping the yarn ball rolling for a good cause, more specifically the patients at Roswell Park Institute. Sharing a common goal to do something worthwhile for others, for the last five years, about 15 residents of the Woodland Place have been meeting every Wednesday evening to knit afghan squares for Roswell. This all started because of Cheryl Wainwright, 66, who lives at Woodland Place Apartments, who was diagnosed with cancer. “One day I was waiting in the waiting room at Roswell and there was this table with a big basket full of yarn and needles, and it had a little thing in it that said ‘Knit it Forward,’” explained Wainwright. With baskets of yarn, needles, and crochet hooks placed throughout Roswell waiting areas and instructions given for the number of stitches to be cast

on and how large to make a square, Wainwright loved the idea that the squares would be combined with others to make an afghan for a cancer patient. “They’re great,” Wainwright said speaking of Roswell. “I don’t know what I would have done without that place.” Wa i n w r i g h t l o s t t w o brothers, a sister, her mother and father to cancer and they were all young. Her sister was 57, her brothers were 61, her mom was 68 and her dad was 69. Wainwright brought the idea back to Woodland Place and she explained what she saw at Roswell, and the ladies came together for the first time making five bags of squares. The squares are then given to Embraceable Ewe Yarn Shop in Hamburg who sews them together for the final blanket. “[Our group] started off with the fact that I have cancer and all these ladies are good friends,” said Wainwright. “This is a big thing to them that they’re able to do things and help out.” But it didn’t stop there for this group of ladies, who range in age from 60 to 96, they also made four

kids lose their hair,” said Hanes. “So, I just made them pajama dolls. I wanted the kids to be able to love something. A lot of the kids like to put their arms around stuff that they can relate too.” Both Nowack and Hanes said they “Knit it Forward” because they want to help people and kids, and at the end of the day they feel good that they accomplished that. “They devote their time to come and do this and I think it’s unbelievably amazing,” said Wainwright. “I’m amazed. These women are so talented for their age.” The Knit it Forward group also includes: Madeline Porto, Pat Horton, Kay Werner, Terry Davis, Mildred Welker, Florence Williams, Paulene Kane, Ceil Nowak, Rita Kenny, Terry Keifan, Cris Rizzuto, and Melody Simon. The group is also seeking donations as everything they work with is donated. Fabric, and yarn is always appreciated, but stuffing and children’s fabric is a need currently. If you would like to donate, call Wainwright at 675-6781.

Making a difference in Western New York. bags of shawls. From there the ideas skyrocketed. The women started making hats, scarves, girl and boy pillows, heart shaped pillows, doll pillows, teddy bears, and prayer shawls. “When you’re making the shawls you pray,” explained Wainwright, which are either knitted or crocheted by the group. “Then we give them to the sick people, they put them on their shoulders, and just knowing

that somebody made it and prayed while making it. It is very special.” Wainwright added one member of the group, Marie Buckley, was in the process of making smaller squares, but she never finished. So, she gave the squares to Cheryl Weigel, and she made a pillow out of the squares. Rose Nowack, a member of the group since it started, makes the teddy bears,

which takes nine pieces of fabric just to make the head. “I loving sewing and helping children,” said Nowack. Another member, Evelyn Hanes, who is 96 years old, wanted to do something special for the kids so she came up with the idea to make doll pillows, which she calls pajama dolls. She makes them herself and uses no pattern. “I don’t want them to feel bad because most of the

The Lancaster Sun / Saturday, November 29, 2014

Police Blotter W W W. C P O W N Y . C O M

Suspicious Occurrence At 4:54 p.m., Nov. 13, a Robert Drive resident stated she received a telephone call from an unknown male with an Indian accent. The caller ID displayed, “Kanicki G&H 1-989-892-9649.” The unknown caller did not identify himself but sounded very urgent and told the resident, “I want you to go to your computer. Your computer is corrupt.” The resident asked numerous questions regarding who he was and why he thought her computer was corrupt. The caller then asked the resident to go on her computer and he would show her. The caller stated if she did not go to her computer he would contact the government and have her services stopped. The caller then ended the conversation. The resident received another call from the same number on Nov. 14, but she did not answer the phone. Patrol advised the resident of similar incidents of unknown callers attempting to persuade individuals to their computer. This is so that they could download software to remote access the computer in an attempt to “fix” the alleged corruption when in reality they are installing a virus and gaining access to private/financial records.

Petit Larceny At 5:25, Nov. 14, patrol was dispatched to Walmart, 4975 Transit Road, for a report of a shoplifter in custody. The complainant, who is the head of loss prevention, said he observed the offender, Andrea M. Agosti, 48, of West Seneca, attempting to leave the store with various items without paying for them. Patrol transported Agosti to the station and she was charged with petit larceny.

Investigation At 7:42 p.m., Nov. 14, patrol was dispatched to Regal Theater, 6707 Transit Road, for a report of a dog locked in a trunk of a vehicle. Patrol arrived on location and made contact with Regal security and several concerned citizens standing around the vehicle. Patrol could hear a small dog continuously barking and sounded to be in destress. Patrol attempted to make contact with the owners but was met with negative results. Entry was made into the vehicle through the driver side door and the back seat of the vehicle was folded down to retrieve a small Yorkshire Terrier. A dog control officer responded and took possession of the dog. The SPCA was contacted and advised of the situation, but they felt their involvement

Petit Larceny

At 4:20 a.m., Nov. 15, patrol observed a 2006 Honda Accord on Freeman Drive with no New York State inspection sticker. Patrol conducted a traffic stop. The offender, Shanna M. Makuch, 28, of Fairport, N.Y., license returned suspended as of Jan. 1. 2014 for failure to answer summons from County of Monroe, City of Rochester. Makuch was taken into custody and transported to the station. She was issued a ticket for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. She was released on $90 bail.

Trespass At 8:10 a.m., Nov. 15, patrol responded to Ransom Road at Walden Avenue for a report of an unwanted hunter. Patrol entered the property and made contact with the offender, Edward F. Haniszewski III, 34, of Lancaster, who

At 3:40 p.m., Nov. 16, patrols responded to a report of narcotics activity inside the restrooms at Dairy Queen, 6711 Transit Road. Upon arrival, patrol was met outside of the restaurant by the complainant and other staff members who stated the male and female had just left in a white car. While speaking the complainant observed the vehicle and identified it traveling south on Transit Road. A traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle. Upon approach, the male offender, Michael Paeth, 30, of Rochester City, who was seated in the rear seat, driver side, was seen making furtive movements with his hands and appeared to have put something under his legs. Upon speaking with the female, Nickola M. Ferra, 32, of Rochester City, patrol asked for identification and when she opened her purse patrol observed an orange cap. Patrol asked Ferra if she had a NYS Health Department needle exchange card for the needle in her purse. She replied, “No.” Ferra was asked to step out of the vehicle and placed into custody. Patrol asked Paeth to step out of the car as well, and when he stepped out, several hypodermic needles were observed lying on the rear seat. Paeth was taken into custody. Upon further search of the rear seating area, several more hypodermic needles were located in the mid rear seat arm rest and one empty baggie- suspected of having contained narcotics. Patrols responded back to the restaurant to speak with the complainant and observed more narcotics paraphernalia strewn about both restrooms and blood in the male restroom. The complainant stated she had observed both offenders in the male restroom together. Both offenders were transported to the station and charged with possession of a hypodermic instrument and criminal possession of a controlled substance.
