Kenan Center annual Holiday Show upcoming By Rebecca Gunning THE STAR EDITOR
THE STAR CORRESPONDENT
The Dale Association will be holding their first ever Beauty at any Age event Nov. 11 in order to promote a “healthier you.” The event, focused on bringing something special to all ages, creates a sort of “girl’s night out” for the ladies of the community, will host several vendors, live demonstrations, a live fashion show, guest speakers and free makeovers. “We want to embrace the idea of beauty from the inside out,” said Angie Blackley, event coordinator.

Along with the many goods, there also will be food by Shamus Restaurant on the Taylor Theater Stage, a goody booth with homebaked treats, wreaths and such sold by Friend of the Kenan Herb Club, and a beautiful quilt made by the Kenan Quilters’ Guild that will be raffled off. Proceeds from the herb club and the quilt raffle will
benefit the Kenan Center as well. Other than the shopping, Corser’s favorite part about the show is all of the people she meets through it. “I enjoy getting to know the artists. They’re all so nice. They love to come to our show,” she explained. “When they leave on Sunday night after they’re all packed up, they’re hugging us and the other artists they’ve gotten to know. It’s just a friendly atmosphere.” That friendliness between the people who are in charge of making the show work is also something she has seen evolve over her time doing the show. “I think there’s camaraderie since I’ve been involved,” Corser said. “Maybe it hap-
pens after a number of years anyway, but all the volunteers and the kenan staff is just wonderful. They bend over backwards to help us out with whatever.” Corser believes one of the big draws to this show is the beautiful decorations and mansion. While many craft shows are in big, empty buildings, the Kenan House is elegant, giving off a different vibe, with the elaborately decorated Christmas tree in the lobby and the garland on the staircase. “I think it’s a very special show,” she added. “People aren’t used to going to a craft show in such a beautiful, historic mansion.” Corser encourages attendance by the public for a multitude of reasons, but
Coordinator Patricia Quirk are both in agreeance that kids today are more worried about their looks that they are not taking care of themselves on the inside because they are overlooking their inside beauty due to all the attention given to their appearance. Their hope for the event is that they will be able to bridge a gap between young adults and senior citizens. “We have a large senior population who could be great role models,” Blackley said. “The 70 is the new 50. People are taking care of themselves more now-adays.” Quirk and Blackley not only hopes that the event will help each generation learn
about one another and create a respect and admiration for one another, but that they will also learn new ways as to how to care for their bodies. The Dale Association is bringing a variety of different professionals to show healthy beauty for all shapes and sizes. Vendors for the event include Clinique, The Hair Chateau, Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Curves for women, and many more. Special guest speakers will include Dr. Justin Miller who will talk about beauty from the inside out, Judy Rodriguez who will talk about the use of vitamins and isotonics and Jessica Rodriguez who will talk about the use of skin
care and makeup appropriate for a person’s age. Clothing store Bling! will also be holding an inter-generational fashion show where models of all ages ranging to 90 years old will walk down the cat walk showing off a variety of clothing suiting to their age group. “We really want to stress that beauty is on the inside as well as the outside,” Quirk said. An interactive Qu Gong workout will also be demonstrated at the event which will help individuals increase balance and focus.

Newfane board to approve cheerleading as sport By Rachel Fuerschbach
especially for the uniqueness of the goods they will find. “I think you see people at the mall and other places shopping, but it’s all that cookie cutter stuff you see here, there and everywhere,” she said. “But our stuff is handmade. It’s made in America if you will. It’s supporting local artists. When you buy something there you have something unique. Nobody else is going to have something like that.” The Kenan Center is located at 433 Locust St. in Lockport. The show will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 21, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 22 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 23. Admission is $4. For more information, contact the Kenan Center at 433-2617.

If you’re looking for a unique gift for someone special during the holiday season, the Kenan Arts Council’s Annual Holiday Show is the place to search on Nov. 22, 23 and 24. This year marks the 34th year the council has organized it, and it is their biggest fundraiser of the year, raising thousands of dollars for the Kenan Center. Jane Corser, a co-chair who has been involved with the show for about 10 years, says while the show may be a holiday one, the organization process begins during the summer. “It honestly takes a small army to put this on. We start with jurying the new artists that are coming on board, that want to be involved with the show in early June,” she explained. “We interview them. They bring a good sampling of what they will be offering. We look for quality and something a little different than we already have.” Of the artists who apply, the council handpicks 50 of them to sell their goods, turning away some talented ones, but Corser still encourages them to apply every year.. “Just because somebody doesn’t get in this year doesn’t mean we won’t want him or her next year,” she said. “It’s just that we want to mix the vendors up a little.” The show has a wide variety of goods for sale including jewelry, pottery, dried flowers, hand-painted china, fabric purses and more. Because the show is two and a half days long, the artists bring plenty of goods, giving the shoppers an even bigger selection of items to

Newfane Board of Education is faced with the formality of passing a resolution of accepting cheerleading as a sport in the district. Recently, the New York State Public High School Association has taken action to recognize cheerleading as a sport throughout the state. School districts are recommended to pass a resolution recognizing cheerleading as a sport just as a formality. Newfane in the past has always treated their cheerleading squad as a sport; however it was not recognized by the state as being so. Passing this resolution will allow cheerleaders to have more options than they had in past years due to the fact that they were considered a club rather than a sport. Although Newfane considered their cheerleading squad as a sport, cheerleaders were unable to earn a Varsity Letter, but rather a Cheer Letter. Recognizing cheerleading as a sport would mean that Newfane district would have to provide transportation for the squad for one additional competition during the season. Concern rose about the fiscal costs of the cheerleading program as a sport later down the road, but was easily put to rest when they were told no additional costs would be added aside from transportation for the one competition. “I am looking into putting an additional budget in for next year in case the cheerleading team goes to sectionals and states,” said Superintendent Dr. Michael S. Wendt. Although the squad must compete in at least two competitions once recognized as a sport, they are able to compete in no more than 12. However, coaches do not see the squad competing in more than two competitions due to the fact that the kids still want to be able to cheer for both their football and basketball teams. In addition to the added competitions, a cheerleading scholarship will also be able to be provided for students who wish to continue their cheerleading careers at the college level. “I think this is really cool,” said Trustee Kelly Artieri. “It’s cool to have this opportunity to recognize these [cheerleaders] as the athletes that they are.” A decision for the resolution is being discussed and if approved will be set in motion for the 2015-16 school year. 535 Division St. Twin City Highway
