There is a fair chance that you might have spread Mentholatum vaporizing rub over your chest, to fend off a bad cough. Maybe you or a female companion recently purchased a Softlips cube for extra lip protection during the dry cold weather. Perhaps you swear by Rohto eye-drops for red and irritated eyes. But did you know that

the company responsible for these and many other household-name skin care products is based right here in Orchard Park? The Mentholatum Company, which operates its North American headquarters on Sterling Drive off Milestrip Road, is today one of the top manufacturers of skin care products in the world. The company, along with its parent company, Japan-based Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., also manufacture Oxy acne medication, WellPatch,

Natural Ice lip balm and Hada Labo Tokyo skin care products, among others. But Jean Legros, Mentholatum’s senior director of marketing, notes that while the company has a strong presence in national retailers and consumers’ minds, they are still dwarfed by some of their competitors, particularly Proctor & Gamble Co., which manufactures the other iconic vapor rub, Vick’s. “Mentholatum competes

with giants. It’s like David and Goliath,” said Legros, adding that Mentholatum also competes against the Fortune 500 corporation Johnson & Johnson. However, the company has staked out a position in both the American and international markets through what Legros calls unique, top-quality skin care products. He says the company is in a strong position for growth; their goal is to double their rev-

enue in the next five years. With this goal in mind, Mentholatum launched two new, innovative products in the last year. The first, the Softlips Cube, promises effective, soothing lip care, and comes in a sleek, trendy design, aimed particularly for the female market. The other is a Nighttime variant of its original vapor rub, with “naturally soothing lavender” to provide gentler cough relief.

“We generally pride ourselves in the passion and the quality of our people to help us develop, produce and market all out of here in Orchard Park,” Legros said. “You talk about Buffalo (as} an AllAmerica City; I like to think that Mentholatum is one of these All-American brands.

This will be the 29th year that Hospice Buffalo will be selling their beautiful spring bouquets. With all proceeds from the sale of the flowers staying right here in Erie County and supporting the care of patients right here, it’s a purchase that means you’re doing a whole host of good things. “It’s become something of an annual rite,” said Rosemary Collins, Director of Public Relations & Community Market at The Center for Hospice & Palliative Care. “Winter is finally on its way out, and the spring bouquets from Hospice are here.” The flowers, wrapped

into bouquets and delivered while they’re still incredibly fresh, are notorious for being of the best quality and able to be preserved for weeks, as long as instructions are followed, water is changed and food is added. That means weeks of making someone smile every time they look at the bouquet and, this year, those that participate in Hospice’s pre-sale will be responsible for a little something extra. Early birds are able to order a special Tribute Bouquet for $30. The oversized bouquet, containing 30 stems, means more than just getting an extra beautiful bouquet to welcome in the spring. For each Tribute Bouquet ordered, a standard bouquet will be sent to one of Hospice’s current pa-

tients. The bouquet sale is the largest fundraiser done by the Hospice Foundation, and over its 29 years, it has suc-

ceeded in raising $4.7 million, all funds that go toward the care of patients. Companies and schools are invited to take part in the

Cheektowaga Youth Baseball

pre-sale event; Hospice asks that each organization who wants to participate sign up and select a coordinator who will take control of or-

dering the bouquets. Orders placed during the pre-sale will be delivered on Monday, March 2 and Tuesday, March 3. The deadline to submit pre-sale orders is Wednesday, Feb. 11 for schools and Wednesday, Feb. 18 for businesses and organizations. The standard bouquet is $8, with the over-sized bouquet and gift flowers available for $30. The coordination needed with the fundraiser is an amazing effort that involves 45 local florists, 450 local businesses, school and organizations, and more than 600 volunteers. It’s all well worth it in the end, though, for there’s few things that can truly brighten someone’s day like a bouquet of spring flowers delivered after the long, dark winter months. Bouquets will also be sold at public locations between Wednesday, March 4 and Friday, March 6. For more information on signing up to be a pre-sale coordinator, call 686-8090 or visit HospiceSpringBouquetSale.com. Hospice Buffalo is located at 225 Como Park Blvd. in Cheektowaga.

Legros says they appreciate the local support, and very much like their home in the Buffalo region. “Buffalonians are very loyal to products that are made locally, and tend to make an effort to support local products,” Legros said. “As much as we support our local charities, we appreciate the support of Buffalonians.”

facturing so many leading and trusted skin care products, Legros still feels as though Mentholatum’s presence goes unknown by most Buffalonians. “Some people know about Mentholatum, but our presence and the knowledge of our presence has been a little bit subdued,” Legros said. Legros pointed out that Mentholatum does much of its sampling locally, and donates to a number of local charities, including the Roycroft Campus Corporation, the Buffalo Zoo, the

The Mentholatum Company was founded in 1889 by Albert Alexander Hyde, an early purveyor of the medicinal and topical benefits of menthol. Developing the vapor rub recipe which the company still uses today, he founded a partnership called The Yucca Company in Wichita, Kan. By 1906, the company changed its name to The Mentholatum Company, following the success of the original Mentholatum Ointment, and had opened an office in Buffalo. Several years later, in 1919, the company opened a factory on Niagara Street in Buffalo. The company found early success by marketing heavily in East Asia; they began selling to Japan in 1913 and today manufacture several of the leading skin care products the region. In 1975, Rohto Pharmaceutical Company became Mentholatum’s licensee, and in ’88, Rohto purchased Mentholatum. Legros says the two companies “realized (they) had synergies.” Throughout the ’90s, Rohto and Mentholatum began to market a number of innovative new skin care

Fans don’t let fans drive drunk, so game plan for a ‘Super Sunday’ The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event, and on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1, there will be lots of game day socializing that may include drinking. That’s why The Resource Training Center of Amherst, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and local law enforcement officials are urging football fans to choose sides now: drinking OR driving. If you plan on drinking on Super Bowl Sunday, these organizations encourage you to designate a sober driver to get you home

safely! “Fans don’t let fans drive drunk,” said Monica Farrar, director of The Resource Training Center. “Before choosing to drink, choose a sober designated driver. Avoid the unsportsmanlike conduct of driving drunk by handing off your keys so that you, your passengers and everyone on our roads can safely arrive home.” According to data from NHTSA, in 2012 there were 10,322 people killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes in the United States. A driver is considered alcohol-im-

paired with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher, the legal limit in all states. This Feb. 1, don’t become a tragic Super Bowl stat. Are You Drinking? If so, don’t drive. Follow these tips to have fun, stay alive, and avoid getting pulled over or crashing your vehicle on game day. • Before Super Bowl Sunday, make a game plan that includes a sober driver – someone who is not drinking at all. • Leave your keys at home. • Consider taking a taxi

to your destination so you won’t even have the option later to drive impaired. • Avoid drinking too much alcohol too fast. Eat plenty of food, take breaks and alternate with non-alcoholic drinks. • If you don’t have a designated driver, ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend, or family member to come get you; or if possible stay where you are for the night and don’t drive until you are sober. • Walking impaired can be just as dangerous as drunk driving. Designate a sober

friend to walk you home. Are You Driving? If so, don’t drink. Your responsible choices can save lives. • Take your role seriously as the designated sober driver — don’t drink and drive. • Enjoy the party with food and non-alcoholic drinks. • Wear your seat belt and require your passengers to do the same. • If someone you know has been drinking and tries to drive, take their keys and help them get home safely. They’ll thank you later. “Drunk driving is a seri-

ous problem with serious consequences,” added Farrar. “Drunk drivers face jail time, the loss of their license, higher insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated expenses ranging from attorney fees, court costs, car towing and repairs, and lost wages due to time off from work.” Located in the Harlem Road Community Center at 4255 Harlem Rd., Amherst, For more information, please call 983-2258, email info@wnyresourcetraining. org or visit www.wnyresourcetraining.org.

Sometimes, it’s truly amazing just how much a personal touch can mean. The Seniors Offering Service group at the Cheektowaga Senior Center will be making fleece blankets to send to the Ronald McDonald House. The blankets are distributed among their patients and last time the group dropped off some blankets, they got to see just how much they meant. “The staff at the house gave us a tour, and when one little girl saw the pile of blankets, she saw one with butterflies on it. She went wild,” said Kerry Switalski, director at the Senior Center. “She was so excited that she was going to get to pick her own, and that’s the one she picked. It made our members feel extra good about the work they put into making them all, because they saw who was benefiting from their good works.”

munity get access to medical and dental care. There are few things that are more stressful than a sick family member, especially when it’s a child. And being able to bring a smile to a child’s face is a valuable gift – and that’s what the volunteers over at the senior center are doing. The blankets that volunteers had made for the kids of the Ronald McDonald House last year have all been given away, so there’s a definite need to restock their supply. The two blanket-making sessions will mean countless children will be able to pick out something incredibly special handmade from a volunteer who took time out of their own busy schedules to do something for a family going through so much. Those interested in dropping off fleece for the project should do so by Feb. 6. For more information on how to donate or volunteer, call 6863930.

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

Blanket-making session will be taking place from 12:45 to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13 and Monday, Feb. 23 at the center. Volunteers are asked to bring their own scissors. They’re also looking for help from other members of the community. To make a blanket, it requires 2.5 yards of a color fleece and 2.5 yards of a matching print fleece. Prints should be suitable for the kids, boys and girls, that will ultimately be picking one of the blankets out for their very own. That excitement of getting to pick out something of your very own, something that someone took the time to make by hand just for someone like you, that’s the spirit that the Ronald McDonald House embraces every day. Now spread across more than 60 countries, the organization not only helps provide a place for families to stay in order to be near a child who is sick or hospitalized, but they also help members of their com-

Family Promise looking for Cheektowaga congregations

Highway Superintendent reflects on 2014 progress Mark Wegner, Town of Cheektowaga Highway Superintendent, said 2014 was another productive year regarding town infrastructure improvements. Wegner said similar annual challenges of balancing the budget because of increases in uncontrollable operating costs and controlling expenses were key to our success. “It’s no secret, budgets are tighter and tighter and as a result our workforce continues to shrink but services have not,” he said. In fact, if you look at the last six construction seasons, a time period of 2009 thru 2014, our teams have installed over 24 miles of storm water drainage pipe and 53 percent of town roads have been repaired and repaved. Also, working in conjunction with our contractors, six roads had complete road reconstruction and about 900 ADA (handicap) sidewalk ramps and over 10,000 sidewalks have been installed and/or replaced. Wegner said that the scrap metal recycling program along with the auctions of old unused equipment are still active and

allow us to reinvest in infrastructure needs. Unfortunately, the electronic drop site had to be eliminated because industry cost and regulations have changed, making an E-Waste drop site unproductive and costly for our department and town residents. 2014 Recap Road Reconstruction / Paving – completed 65 streets, roughly 17.08 miles or 8.75 percent of all town owned roads. Mark said, “We will maintain this paving level, about 8 – 10 percent of town roads each year as long as the budget holds up.” Drainage Improvements – In 2014 our pipe crew installed a total of 16,705 feet of pipe, installed 89 catch basins and 33 manholes. Wegner said storm water control is essential throughout the town in maintaining road longevity and eliminating flooding. Sidewalks – 56 sidewalk handicap ramps and approximately 3,439 sidewalk blocks were installed this year. We will continue to be aggressive with this program next year.

Last February, Family Promise of Western New York moved into a new location in Cheektowaga. Their resource center, located at 149 French Rd., is the old HSBC Bank branch, creatively repurposed into the headquarters of the grass roots organization dedicated to providing families everything they need to get back on their feet after being homeless. The set-up of the organization is a unique one. Family Promise partners with faith-based congregations throughout the area; these churches and synagogues provide a place for each family to stay for one week at a time, while they take advantage of the many resources offered at the center’s headquarters, all designed with the goal of getting families back on track. Currently, Family Promise has 11 congregations that they partner with on a regular basis and, so far, those congregations have provided life-changing

services to 81 families since 2010. But, they have no partner congregations in Cheektowaga. Ideally, 13 partners would allow them to provide full coverage on a rotating basis for all the families that they serve. They’re hoping that a few faith-based groups in Cheektowaga – their own neighborhood – will come forward and lend their support. “One of our biggest priorities right now is getting our 13 congregations,” said Charles LeFevre, Executive Director of Family Promise. “We’re very actively looking for congregations who are willing to partner with us as a ministry or outreach program.” Families who enter into the Family Promise program stay at congregation centers on a rotating basis, three or four times a year. While they’re there, members of the congregation and volunteers provide warm meals, a comfortable place to stay, and a caring, loving environment.

volunteers that are helping kids with their homework, playing games, and making sure that they’re still smiling through the rough patches of life. It’s also of note that volunteers aren’t required to be of any particular religious belief or be a part of the congregation; Family Promise welcomes all volunteers, knowing that there’s people of all kinds who are there to help. Homelessness in Western New York is a massive problem. In 2013, an estimated 2,084 people in families with children stayed in emergency shelters or transitional housing, while another 3,190 adults relied on the same services. That’s a five percent increase over the previous year. LeFevre says that they see all types come to their doors, and they’re grateful to be able to provide help to everyone from single parents to veterans and their families. In addition to finding several more host congregations, they’re also hoping to find a few corporate sponsors to partner with. Donations are also much needed, and will be going directly to help those that need them most. For more information on how to help, call the center at 771-3007 or email clefevre@fpwny.org.

families to stay together during their time of need. This means relying on the support of the community to provide anything from a hot meal to a friendly shoulder, and it’s an amazingly rewarding experience. “It’s extremely fulfilling to know that you’re making a difference in the lives of people in your own community,” said LeFevre. “You’re making a significant difference in the lives of people who are in their darkest hour.” Because Family Promise is a relatively small, grass-roots organization, that allows them to direct donations right where they’re the most needed, and where they can do the most good for their recipient families. A donation might go toward a deposit on an apartment for a family, or toward other muchneeded necessities. The organization also provides transportation to and from job interviews, to and from congregations to their resource center, and when moving in between hosting locations. Their resource center provides everything from a place to do laundry to professional help building resumes, applying for jobs, and looking for housing. And because the entire family is provided for, that means they also have

At 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a Legislative Round Table and Breakfast Meeting at the Creekside Banquet Facility, located at 2669 Union Rd. The meeting will offer residents the chance to interact with some of the officials that we’ve elected to office and tasked with keeping the community – and the county – moving in the right direction. Those officials that have been invited to attend are NYS Senator Tim Kennedy, NYS Assemblywoman Angela Wozniak, Town Supervisor Mary Holtz, Erie County Legislator Patrick Burke (District 7) and Erie County Legislator Ted Morton (District 8).

Breakfast will be served at 8:30 a.m., with the round table and discussion to follow. The cost of the breakfast is $15 for Chamber members and $20 for non-Chamber members.

The John F. Kennedy girls basketball team is improving each and every day and working harder to turn the season into a positive one. And that improvement is starting to become evident on the scoreboard. The young Bears have gone toe-to-toe with some of the best small school teams around and they’re hoping to start turning competitive losses into big victories. “I think we’re getting a lot better,” said senior Elizabeth Vohwinkel, who serves as a tri-captain along with classmates Jaclyn Smith

By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

In a year of transition following the graduation of one of the most dynamic wrestlers the school has ever seen, you may have expected Cheektowaga Central to name several team captains to help the program remain competitive. On the contrary, Central coach Matt Haberl selected just one

and Rebecca Wesolowski. “Every day, we’re getting better as a team and learning to work better together, passing the ball and recognizing where we need to get the ball.” JFK hasn’t backed down from anyone and that’s slowly starting to result in some success. The Bears won two of four heading into late January, with one of the losses coming to ECIC IV leader Holland and the other a four-point setback against Maryvale in non-league action. The wins were far more decisive, coming by a combined 118-36 count over Buffalo Science and ECIC IV foe Lackawanna. The win over the rival Steelers was the most impressive as Kennedy dominated from start to finish and got contributions from everyone in the lineup. “It’s always nice to get

captain: Eric Bartnik. OK, so you’re thinking the Warriors are heavily counting on Bartnik’s senior leadership? They probably will be – in two years. It’s not evident in meets or in the practice room, but believe it or not, Bartnik is just a sophomore – and he’s already the unquestioned leader on the mat for the proud program. “He’s the only captain and he’s a captain as a sophomore,” Warriors’ coach Matt Haberl said. “That right there says a lot about his character and the leadership that he’s grown to provide.” Even though he’s just a 10th grader, Bartnik is in his fourth varsity season for the Warriors.

And he’s more than ready – and willing – to take on the role as the team’s top leader. “I’ve taken on a bigger leadership role this season,” the sophomore standout said. “I have to be a role model for the younger kids on the team and just keep working hard.” The fact that Bartnik has taken his captaincy role to heart has been all the more beneficial to the Warriors. He’s learned from some of the program’s greatest – including state and national champion Renaldo RodriguezSpencer, who’s now at Iowa State University after ending his tremendous Cheektowaga Central career with his 2014 graduation.

The Warriors might not have another Rodriguez-Spencer on the roster – and in reality, neither does any other team in Western New York. But Cheektowaga still expects quality performances on the mat – and Bartnik is applying his experience and teaching his current teammates – both vocally and by example. “That’s the difference, to find a captain that goes out there and does the little things,” Haberl said. “He’s learned from the years before, he understands it’s a young team and he knows we need to do it right the first time or learn from our mistakes. He’s really taken a big step forward to help the other guys out.” Not only has the standout

a win,” Bears coach Steve Sokolski said. “The girls came out and played hard and played smart, they moved the ball around, everybody scored and it’s nice to get a win. “ That win improved JFK’s overall record to 3-6 — and the Bears feel that can become much better. The improvement is already evident and Kennedy is hoping to add some more wins to that record. “I feel like we can win a lot more games than we’ve been winning,” said Smith, who leads the Bears in scoring with more than 17 points per game. “We’re playing well on defense, getting some steals and fast-breaking. Everyone’s working hard and playing as a team.” Although there have been some down times, there has never been a question about the effort. JFK has come to

play every single night and they’re starting to reap the benefits. “They work hard every single day,” Sokolski said. “We’re with teams for three quarters of every game. It’s that four or five minutes that get us. But they’re with every team that we play.” The Bears head down the stretch with some tough league games still ahead before they take on the challenge of the Class B2 Section VI playoffs. And while JFK may not be among the teams the opponents are worried about just yet, they still plan on coming to play each and every night in hopes of pulling a surprise. “You never can tell. If we shoot into the 30 percentile, we can beat some teams,” Sokolski said. “If we’re in the teens and low 20s, that’s what hurts us. They can do it; we’re still optimistic.”

sophomore stood up as a leader, he’s also continued to show excellence on the mat as well. Bartnik, the first wrestler in Haberl’s tenure to compete at the varsity level as a seventhgrader, picked up his 85th career victory on Jan. 23 with a first-period pin of Amherst’s Michael Thomas in an ECIC II dual meet. “I’m just looking to get in and out as fast as I can,” Bartnik said after that 1 minute, 48 second win. “I just want to get my team six points.” As of the end of the ECIC II dual season, Bartnik held a 21-12 record on the season. Perhaps his most impressive decision came in the ECIC

Championships on Jan. 17 at Clarence in the third place match as he scored a 6-3 decision over Eden’s Sawyer Overhoff, who had previously beaten Bartnik twice this season. On Feb. 7, Cheektowaga will host the Class B tournament and the top four in each weight will head to the Section VI tournament the following weekend at Lake Shore High School. Bartnik doesn’t have specific goals set for the postseason, he’s just going to work do advance as far as he can. “Get some wins at sectionals,” he said, “and just go as far as I can. That’s what I’m looking to do.”

Local sports Maryvale girls making strides during challenging season By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

The Maryvale High School girls basketball team figured this would be a year of rebuilding following the graduation of five key seniors, including a current Division I basketball player. And although the victories haven’t been as frequent, the Flyers are still ready to play each and every night — and they’ve shown they’re not going to back down from anyone. “Working with this group, it doesn’t seem like our record is what it is, because the girls are working so

hard and doing some good things,” Maryvale coach Tim Klimtzak said. “Especially in practice, they’re very positive. We’re working hard and getting better every day. The graduation of Ciara Rosten, who is currently averaging more than 12 minutes per game at the University of Massachusetts, was the biggest blow to the Flyers’ roster. In all, Maryvale gradated more than 38 points per game from last year’s club, that made the program’s first ever trip to the Section VI championship game. Offense has been a challenge to the Flyers, who topped 40 points just once in their first 12 games. “It’s been a long season but the girls are working hard,” Klimtzak said. “We’re struggling a bit offensively, but the girls are getting good looks and we’re getting better

day-by-day.” After a 1-10 start to the season, Maryvale has started to turn the corner, posting a pair of wins in the latter half of January. Maryvale scored a season-

high 52 points in a Jan. 26 win over Health Sciences — and as it has been all year long, the performance was a team effort. Four different Flyers scored at least eight points in the victory.

“We’ve been pretty consistent as far as spreading the ball around,” Klimtzak said after a win over crosstown rival John F. Kennedy on Jan. 15. “We’re getting contributions from everyone

on the team.” Junior Kelsey Cadwallader leads the Flyers in scoring at about 8.3 points per game and sophomore Alexa Hoiensahl is second after leading all underclassmen on last year’s club. Junior Alyssa Zbock is the team’s leader in both assists and rebounds and freshman Karli Murray is tops in steals. Senior Deannna Davis has also provided strong leadership as the team captain in her third varsity season. Maryvale approached February with a 3-6 record but the play has noticeably improved throughout the season. And with a lot of young talent on the roster, the future appears to be bright for the Flyers. “We take our growing pains but hopefully we take that next step,” Klimtzak said.

attention, and games between the rivals are becoming more anticipated each season. The last 10 years or so have been a sort of Ground Zero for the local hockey programs. After playing at the Division III level since 1980, Canisius moved to Division I competition in 1998, one season after Niagara established its Division I program. In 2003, the schools were joint hosts of the NCAA Frozen Four, setting in motion a flurry of activity which helped grow each program. Canisius became a charter member of Atlantic Hockey when the league formed for the 2003-04 season. Niagara remained a member of College HockeyAmerica until 2009-10, but still often had Canisius on

its schedule. When the Purple Eagles joined Atlantic Hockey for the 2010-11 campaign, it accelerated the importance of games against Canisius and helped foster the natural rivalry. Last weekend, the teams met twice at Dwyer Arena, where Canisius swept the games by 4-1 and 6-4 scores. The results were consistent with each team’s recent play: Canisius (12-8-6, 11-4-5 in Atlantic Hockey) extended its undefeated streak to seven games (6-0-1), its longest stretch since 2000-01, while Niagara (3-19-2, 3-13-2) dropped its sixth straight and has not won in 12 contests (0-10-2). Even though the schools are trending in opposite directions this season, the rivalry has had

its share of significant games in recent years. The schools met in the first round of the 2011 Atlantic Hockey tournament, with Canisius coming out victorious. In February 2013, the teams split a pair of games when Niagara was ranked #15 in the nation. The Purple Eagles held that same ranking a few weeks later, when the Golden Griffins scored a 5-3 win in a head-t0-head matchup in the Atlantic Hockey semifinal; Canisius went on to the NCAA Tournament, where it lost to Quinnipiac in the first round. Last weekend, the games drew decent crowds of 1,013 and 1,302 on the Niagara campus, where capacity is about 1,400. It’s easy to anticipate

potential sellouts of 2,000 when the teams eventually play each other in Canisius’new Harborcenter home next season. To boot, Niagara could turn its fortunes around soon. Before this year, it has never suffered consecutive sub-.500 seasons as a Division I program, so a quick rebound wouldn’t be surprising. Canisius is on the upswing, bolstered by a home facility it can call its own. Once the schools establish equal footing on the ice, there’s no telling how intense the rivalry will become. Who knows? It could even move beyond the traditional one we’ve seen on a wooden floor for decades.
