Haunted House raises money for a good cause

Libraries aren’t just for books

By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

When it comes to the typical fundraisers, the STARRC Raving Mad House isn’t it. In the true spirit of the Halloween season, it promises all the fun terror that goes along with haunted houses, ghostly apparitions, and more than a few knifewielding madmen. Even the most stubbornly unflappable person won’t make it through the haunted house without their heart missing a few beats, and not only is it a fun time for adults, children and entire families, but it’s all for a good cause. “All proceeds go directly to the church,” says Charles Lambert, one of the founders of the haunted house. “We’re the fall fundraiser for them.” And it’s one of the church’s buildings that has been transformed into a celebration of Halloween and all that’s ghostly and ghoulish. Located on the corner of Gierlach and Crocker, dedicated and hardworking volunteers have put in some long hours to turn the St. Andrews Church Building #1 into one of the area’s most fun haunted houses. It might seem an odd juxtaposition, a haunted house and a church, but part of the attraction of the STARRC Raving Mad House is that it’s not your typical fundraiser. There’s nothing typical about it, in fact, and

Beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 22, the Anna Reinstein Memorial Library will be putting aside the books and bringing out the pumpkins for a massively entertaining evening that promises to be fun for the whole family. For those who are regulars at the library, you probably know Mr. J. He’s the one with the magic show, which was a summertime favorite. Now, in the spirit of the fall season, he’s going to be back at the library bringing something special and seasonally appropriate. Chances to get outside and celebrate the fall season are happening all over Western New York, and the library’s no exception. They’re hoping that not only will people come to take advantage of the few cool, clear fall days that we have left, but that they’ll also be staying to pick out some books. “This pumpkin patch will be a new thing for me to experience!” says the library’s Danielle White, who only began working at the library in June. It just goes to show that there’s always something new going on at the library, and it’s always something that staff can get excited about as well as the town.

All proceeds go directly to the church. that’s what keeps people coming back year after year. Telling just what’s in the haunted house would be giving away a lot of the fun and surprises. We can say, though, that they’re going to be featuring a 20-foot-long spinning tunnel that visitors will have to traverse on a footbridge, while trying to keep their balance and their wits about them. The haunted house is being enough to be scary for those who want a fright-filled evening, but younger visitors don’t have to be afraid if they don’t want to. Many of the scares come from actors

who understand that it might be a little much for younger visitors, and respect that everyone’s looking for a little something different in their haunted house experience. The goal is, after all, to make sure that everyone has a great time and comes back for next year. The house is an everevolving feature, so those who visited last year might find some things have changed. They’re always looking for new ideas and new features, and it’s a work in progress even as it’s being constructed in the church’s building. A true collaboration

and labor of love, it’s that which makes the house stand apart from the rest. The haunted house is open through the month of October, from 6 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 5 to 9 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for children, with group rates available for those who contact the house in advance. For $1 off admission, bring a non-perishable food item for inclusion in the church’s food bank. For more information, visit starrcravingmadhouse.com, or friend them on Facebook.

“Natural Gas. Your Best Energy Value.”

“Mr. J and his assistant will be setting up a pumpkin patch and a small petting zoo,” she says. “We’ll have a tent if the weather doesn’t cooperate, and there’s plenty of space in front of the library, to the side and behind it, so we’ll make the most of those areas.” If there’s anything that you don’t expect to see at the library, it’s a petting zoo. There will be plenty of animals on hand to meet and greet visitors, and if there’s one thing that all kids love, it’s meeting some new furry and feathered friends. Mr. J will also be bringing his magic show back to the library, which is also always a hit with the kids and adults alike. While a petting zoo and a pumpkin patch might seem like something of an odd thing to have at thae library, it fits in perfectly with the new, 21st century libraries. Today, libraries are all about being fun, exciting places that kids of all ages can go to hang out, enjoy, and explore new things; that no longer means just sitting in silence and reading some books or doing some homework. Today, libraries are all sorts of fun. To register for the event, call the library at 8928089, or, better yet, sign up in person.

Comptroller Mychajliw kicks off Costumes for a Cause Campaign

Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw was joined by a “tri-partisan” group of elected officials to kick off the “Costumes for a Cause” charitable initiative. The program gives children in need free Halloween costumes for Trick-or-Treating. The costume collections begin now and end Wednesday, Oct. 22. For one week (Thursday, Oct. 23 through Thursday, Oct. 30) children and their families will be able to select a free Halloween costume at the Seneca Babcock Community Center, 1168 Seneca St., Buffalo. “This effort is near and dear to my heart. Growing up poor near William and Fillmore, I understand how tough it is for families to make ends meet. My siblings and I grew up without a lot. Now we have an opportunity to

help show that we are the ‘City of Good Neighbors.’ It is great to have local leaders from all parties come together for a great cause,” Mychajliw said. Joining the Erie County Comptroller in this “tripartisan” charitable effort is New York State Senator Timothy M. Kennedy (D), New York State Assemblyman Michael P. Kearns (D), Erie County Legislator Joseph C. Lorigo (C), and Cheektowaga Councilwoman Diane Benczkowski (D). “These children deserve to enjoy Halloween just like everyone else. Any help we can give them really helps make the holiday special,” Senator Kennedy said. “Giving children a chance to enjoy Halloween is certainly not a partisan issue. We can all get behind our community’s

kids,” Assemblyman Kearns said. “As public servants, we have a unique opportunity to give back to our communities. This campaign for kids is something truly special and I’m honored to be a part of it,” Legislator Lorigo said. “All of us involved were elected to help people. There’s nothing like the feeling you get from lending a hand to young people in need,” Councilwoman Benczkowski said. “It’s refreshing to be able to put politics aside and join together for such a phenomenal cause. I know the children are extremely grateful to live in such a generous community,” Legislator Burke said. New and gently used costumes are being accepted at multiple drop-off points during regular busi-

The Grapevine Banquet opens its doors By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

When the Hearthstone Manor closed in March, it left a huge void in the community. Gone was the location of almost five decades of wedding receptions, banquets, fundraisers and corporate events. Fortunately, the banquet facility that has formed the backbone of so many memories isn’t gone anymore – it’s just getting an update and a new look under the watchful eye of new owners. After several months of renovations that include a new entrance, an updated lobby, offices and bathrooms and an overhaul to the signature ballrooms, The Grapevine Banquets opened their doors and began taking on the same kinds of clients that had been served faithfully by Hearthstone for years. Their official ribboncutting ceremony will be

held from 8 to 10 p.m. on Monday, October 20, at the 333 Dick Rd. location; owner Liza Pane is looking forward to showing everyone what they’ve done with the place. For her, it’s the culmination of a lifelong dream. She and her husband Tom have long been the owner-operators of The Grapevine Restaurant on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst, and they’ve always enjoyed the intense, high-maintenance business. But for Liza, there’s always been a desire to add an independent banquet facility. In fact, when they went to tour the Hearthstone when it went up for sale, she knew it was meant to be. There’s a phone booth there, and it’s the same one she once used to call her mother in 1985, when she told her her that someday, she wanted to own a facility just like this one. It’s gone full circle, and now, it’s hers.

Crossword Answer

“I’ve always loved serving at weddings and large events,” she says. “I love people, and I love giving them the chance to attend a party without having to worry about all the logistics. I want them to just be able to go out, have fun, and make some incredible memories.” The Grapevine truly is a family business. Liza and Tom are leaving their original restaurant in the capable hands of their daughters, who grew up in the business and learned it from the ground up. They began by cleaning and busing tables, and now, they’re following in their parents’ footsteps. Their son has also grown up in the business, and now, he’s leaning toward the financial side of things. Liza says that being able to create such an atmosphere that’s not only a place for everyone in the community but a place to raise her family has been one of the greatest gifts

she could get. The Grapevine has been the exclusive caterer to The Ellicott Creek Banquet Facility, and now, they’re getting the chance to do it from start to finish on their own. They’re already taking bookings for the coming year, and they’re grateful for a community that has greeted them with open arms. For Liza, it’s a dream come full circle. When she heard about Hearthstone being up for sale and then started getting texts and phone calls from friends, family and customers telling her that she needed to look into purchasing the building and taking over from the Western New York landmark, she knew that it was meant to be. For more information on their catering and banquet facilities – along with their restaurant – visit grapevinerestaurant.com. To make reservations or to arrange a tour of the new facility, call 391-1895.

Plan to raise elected officials salaries not supported Recently the Citizens Salary Review Commission released its report, calling for salary increases for the county executive, comptroller, sheriff and clerk. It was the first report since 2004 and analyzed the fact that elected officials’ salaries hadn’t been raised since 1996. I think the Commission did a thorough job and I want to thank the members for the time they committed to creating their recommendations. The total increase would be $77,305 annually and the commission said the increases would bring Erie County on par with comparable counties. The following increases were recommended: county executive - $103,248 to $126,400, a 22 percent increase; sheriff - $79,092 to $102,400, a 29 percent increase; comptroller - $80,613 to $98,750, a 22 percent increase; and the clerk - $79,092 to $91,800, a 16 percent increase. It was recommended that the legislators’ salaries remain the same. After the report was released, I joined my colleagues in the Majority Caucus in issuing a statement that we opposed the recommendations and that we would vote against increases. I believe that now is not the appropriate time to raise elected officials’ salaries. While I believe there is some merit to certain points made in the report, my decision to not raise the salaries is because of the taxpayers who would fund them. I have met many families who are struggling, making the same wage they have for

years because our local economy is not strong. Businesses are fighting to stay open and as a result, workers are impacted. I have also met many residents who were forced to switch jobs, start over and take a cut in pay just to find work. Right now, to raises the salaries of elected officials would be imprudent. We pay some of the highest taxes in the country and Erie County’s economy continues to struggle. A recent report on poverty shows we have a long way to go to recover. Right now, elected officials should not receive a salary increase. Many residents have reached out to me, voicing their opinion about this topic. To date, everyone I have heard from opposes the raises. The Legislature’s Majority Caucus wants to ensure we provide ample opportunity for residents to weigh in before we vote. A public forum will be held soon to provide residents that platform. As soon as the date and location are finalized, we will be announcing the details. You can also send your comments to me at ted.morton@erie.gov or directly to the Clerk of the Legislature at 92 Franklin St., Buffalo, NY 14202, where they will be part of the official record. If you have any questions about the Citizens Salary Review Commission’s recommendations or another county matter, please contact me at 858-8856. Erie County Legislator Ted Morton

A Democrat supporting Ortt Recently there has been a series of letters in several newspapers in support of Johnny Destino for State Senate. Their general theme has been guilt by association of Rob Ortt because he is a republican. The letters mention the “debacle in Lockport,” Steve Richards, and George Maziarz’s resignation, yet they fail to mention the halting of the campaign investigation of irregularities by the democrats Cuomo and Schneiderman. The letters say they’re not “antiOrtt.” Oh Well! The infer-

ence is that we should be suspicious and question Ortt’s integrity, yet they fail to mention Ortt’s military service to his country in defense of our freedom. Nor do they mention Destino’s change of party affiliation to suit his political aspirations. In another letter some of the Republican Party’s chairmen mention the tax rate in North Tonawanda versus Lockport and Niagara Falls, but fail to compare the progress that has been made under Ortt’s leadership. Nor did they mention the life support

the city of Niagara Falls is on from the casino, or that Lockport needs to borrow money to provide standard civic services. One of the non-mentions is that Destino has never governed anything, as has Ortt, but they conveniently omit that. Another letter alludes to Destino’s support of education. While I’m sure that Destino is good man, I don’t know where it’s said that being a supporter of education is what qualifies one for leadership at the state senate level. Lastly, it would be to-

tally naïve to think that if the democrats gain control of the senate, in addition to the assembly that they already basically own, that it won’t affect what upstate and Western New York receive in financial assistance from state government. I’m a life-long democrat, but this time I have to think of what I believe is best for my home and community, and that means supporting Rob Ortt for state senate. Karl E. Bauer North Tonawanda

Girl Scouts of WNY to host career exploration event for girls Nov. 8 Whether she wants to be a doctor, a lawyer, a reporter, a teacher, an accountant – every girl has the right to not only dream, but to learn how she can achieve her goal of whatever career she aspires to. The “I Can Be” Career Day event hosted Saturday, Nov. 8 by Girl Scouts of Western New York will help girls do just that. Approximately 30 female volunteers will lead sessions on various industries including health care, education, engineering, journalism, law, social work, finance and more. Girls who register will submit their top career paths prior to the event and, based on their preferences, will be put into workshops. Girls will have the

chance to go to four different workshops lasting approximately 40 minutes to learn about different career paths. In each workshop, girls will receive an introduction from the female leader. They’ll be able to participate in a hands-on activity that relates to the specific field, and then time will be available for a question-and-answer session. Girls who participate will receive a patch. “We are honored that professional women volunteers will share their career journeys and conduct interactive modules with our girls, to inspire and educate them on how to make an informed choice about their future careers. Girls demand activities that are experience based.

They want to learn by doing, even when it relates to emotional issues that they can share with other girls, according to the Girl Scout Research Institute,” said Cindy L. Odom, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Western New York. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8 at Villa Maria College in Buffalo. The cost is $10 for registered Girl Scouts. Girls who are not yet registered may participate in this event by paying the $15 Girl Scout of the USA registration fee and the $10 program fee. The deadline to register is Thursday, Oct. 23. For details or to register, visit gswny.org or call 1-888-837-6410.

Bad Luck returns to Buffalo By Lauren Kirchmyer ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER

Broadway Joe’s is about to be hit with some “Bad Luck” as the band makes their way to Buffalo from Daytona Beach, Fla. on Oct. 28 to open for Old Again and Let It Happen. The rock band consists of brothers Dom and Joe Fox and their friends Evan Blaine and Jake Kneer, and they’ll all excited to return to Buffalo. Their first visit took place this past July, when the band performed at the same venue for about 15 to 20 fans. “Some of the kids sang along and the place itself was sweet. We’re happy to be back, especially as soon as we are,” Dom Fox said. “Had not being in Buffalo before we had no expectations,” Fox continued. A friend who lives in town brought the band to the waterfront, showed them the military boats at the harbor and bubbles that are blown out of a window on Elmwood Avenue. “It

Explore our connections with Mexico By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

In celebration of the Day of the Dead, Reinstein Woods is taking the opportunity to help Western New Yorkers explore our connection with Mexico. Traditionally, the Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday observed from October 31 to November 2. It honors the family’s ancestors, and has been traced back – through different forms – nearly 3,000 years. It’s thought that the idea of a holiday dedicated to honoring the dead began with the Aztecs, and has since become a long festival with certain times devoted to honoring deceased elders, children taken too early, and the one-a-year visitation from the souls of our loved ones. We also obviously have our own spooky holiday at the end of October, but the educational staff at Reinstein Woods are taking this opportunity to

share just what else we have in common with our southern neighbors – the Monarch butterfly. “The Monarch butterfly is closely tied with the lore of the area,” says Meaghan Boice-Green from Reinstein Woods. “It’s believed that the return of the Monarchs is the returning of the souls of the dead.” Every year, the Monarch butterflies make their epic journey from their summer homes in Western New York to their wintering grounds in Mexico. Usually, they’ve completed the journey by the first few days in November, coinciding with the Day of the Dead celebration. It’s an unbelievably long journey for such tiny creatures, and while there’s not much that’s more breathtaking than an entire group of monarchs making the long flight, numbers of the butterfly are dwindling – especially here. Fewer and fewer have successfully made the trip over the last years,

t a k cula o o p S TOWN T OWN P PARK ARK LIQUOR LIQUOR Lotto Sales, Liquor & Wine Store

and that’s a major concern. Butterflies rely on native plants, flowers and grasses to survive – especially on milkweed. It’s only on milkweed that their caterpillars will feed, and with the clearing of wild land, the milkweed population is disappearing. For butterflies, that means that every time they return to Western New York, they find fewer and fewer places to call home for the summer. And, in turn, fewer and fewer of their souls return to Mexico in time for the Day of the Dead. That means the Day of the Dead is a perfect opportunity for Reinstein Woods. From 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 1, they’ll be holding an educational program that explores the life’s journey of the Monarch butterfly. Registration is required, so call 683-5959 to sign up. “It’s the perfect chance for us to teach people a little bit about a different culture, what animals mean to them and how we’re all connected,” says Boice-Green. “We’re also going to be telling people what they can do to help the Monarchs, and keep the cycle going.” END OF SEASON RATES

St. Patrick’s Church helps raise money for breast cancer research If you happened to drive by St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church any time between Oct. 12 and Oct. 18, you likely took notice of the hot pink flags on their lawn. That’s because the congregation of St. Patrick’s joined with other Episcopal congregation across Western New York to raise money for breast cancer research at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. St. Patrick’s collected $130. For every $5 donated, the church received three flags. Members who donated had the option of writing the name of a loved one or friend whose life was touched by breast cancer on their flags before the flags were placed outside. “The parishioners of St. Patrick’s have unfortunately dealt with breast cancer much too often, so this was a particularly personal fund-raiser for our small parish. We have had no less than eight parishioners or family members of parishioners afflicted with breast cancer. We may not have raised a lot of money in our parish, but as members of the diocese, we are part of a larger community that is helping to spread awareness around the seven counties of Western New York and hopefully fund a cure,” said Sally Jakielaszek, warden. The front lawn of the

Diocesan Ministry Center at 1064 Brighton Rd. in Tonawanda reflected the combined efforts of all Episcopal churches in Western New York. There, a total of 3,825 pink flags turned the lawn into a sea of pink. On Friday, Oct. 17, the Right Rev. R. William Franklin presented Roswell Park Cancer Institute with a check for $6,375 for breast cancer research. The check represents 100 percent of all donations received. “It seems fitting that this donation from our first ever diocesan-wide Health Awareness Week campaign is going to support breast cancer research at Roswell Park. This world-class cancer center was founded by Dr. Roswell Park, who was once

a member of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Buffalo.” Bishop Franklin says the diocese decided to associate its Health Awareness Week with the Feast of St. Luke, which is on Oct. 18th. St. Luke is known in church tradition as the patron saint of physicians and surgeons. In future years, the diocese plans to focus attention on and support other health issues. St. Patrick’s is located just west of the corner of Dick Road on George Urban Blvd in Cheektowaga. Sunday services take place at 8 and 10 a.m. St. Patrick’s members believe God loves everyone, and everyone will find a warm welcome at St. Patrick’s.

LEGO Club gives kids a chance to explore By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

If you think back to your fondest childhood memories and most loved toys, chances are, on that list of toys that shaped your childhood will be LEGOs. That’s why the Anna Reinstein Memorial Library began the LEGO Explorers’ Club for Cheektowaga kids between 6 and 12 years old. The next meeting of the LEGO Club will be from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, and will have a special Halloween theme.

The LEGO Explorers Club is all about having fun and capturing the imagination of children in a form that’s all their own to create whatever they want to. Since their inception and development in 1932, LEGOs have been a way for children all over the world to see their dreams come to life. This will be the second session of the club, and the first was a rousing success. “One child built a house with a patio and an awning, another built a playground, and another built a jail complete with a watchtower,” says Danielle White. “LEGOs are timeless, because you

can build pretty much anything with them, and you can be as simple or as complex as you want. I think that’s why they appeal to kids of all ages, and adults too! A couple of parents even stayed in the room and built something... and I did, too!” Some toys are outgrown over the years, shoved in boxes to be forgotten about or, at best, remembered with a certain amount of nostalgic fondness. Other toys, though, can’t help but turn everyone into a child again no matter what their age – and that’s the case with LEGO. “Being creative with

LEGOs not only provides the opportunity to be creative, but also the chance to be in charge,” White says. “You build something based on how you want it, and how you think it would be best. It’s really fun to see some of the kids problem-solving with their creations.” We’ve all had fun with LEGO, but what many might not realize is that it’s a family business that has grown to epic proportions over the years. LEGO is the combination of two Danish words, “leg” and “godt”, which translates to “play well”. Founded in 1932, it’s now owned by the third generation of the founding family, and while LEGO is no longer made in a tiny carpenter’s shop, it still manages to maintain the impact on kids of all ages from all over the world – and programs like the LEGO Explorers’ Club are helping to ensure that sense of creativity and not a little bit of ingenuity keeps going. For the Halloween edition of the club, there will also be a costume contest with treats for all and a special prize for the winner. Those who would like to see their creations preserved for the holiday can opt to have them displayed at the library. Space is limited and registration is required, so call 892-8089.

Tonawanda no trap for Maryvale: Flyers beat Warriors, await crosstown rival By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

It seemed like the perfect situation for a trap game for Maryvale. With a showdown against rival Cheektowaga Central looming a week away, the Flyers hosted Class B Central rival Tonawanda, a one-win team that has been competitive in just about every game this season. But Maryvale was in no mood for a letdown. Instead, the Flyers went out and took care of business, posting a 42-6 win over the Warriors on Friday night. “This was difficult,” Maryvale coach Jeff Buccieri said. “This is Homecoming; there were a lot of distractions. But our guys were hungry from the get-go.” Six different Flyers scored touchdowns as Maryvale moved to 5-1 overall, 3-1

in Class B Central. The Flyers can grab a share of the division title next Friday as they visit first-place Cheektowaga in what promises to be one of the biggest games in the history of the Maroon Madness rivalry. But that’s next week and for that game to matter, the Flyers had to win in Week 6 first. “We take all the teams the same way,” said senior running back and linebacker Brandon Bojanowski, who had a game-high 113 yards on just seven carries. “We just go out in practice and work as hard as possible and take it week-by-week.” Behind a dominant performance on the line, the Flyers collected more than 400 total yards of offense, more than 300 of which came on the ground. In all, four Flyers collected more than 50 yards rushing on the evening. “Great blocking and we

had some great runs,” said senior Mike Halferty, who ran for 59 yards and scored Maryvale’s first touchdown. “Everything was working out well, we had some slip ups but we kept our heads up and kept working.” Meanwhile, Tonawanda (1-5 overall, 0-4 in the division) again proved it will not back down from a tough opponent. The Warriors forced five Maryvale fumbles, recovering two of them and played the Flyers even for most of the first half until a size disadvantage up front proved to be too much to overcome. “We had the chance to make some plays,” Tonawanda coach Rob Gross said. “We got the ball on the ground, we had some receivers open, but we just didn’t connect. We did a nice job but I think their line controlled the second half.” Bojanowski had the high-

light run of the day, a 74-yard spring down the left sideline in the third quarter, and also added an interception on defense and three extra points. Halferty added 63 receiving yards for a total of 122 yards from scrimmage on the day. Fullback Kwaime Davis had 91 yards and a touchdown, Marcus Ford had another 55 yards and a TD and Austin Reamsnyder scored on his only carry of the day from 18 yards away. Eric Graham ran for 22 yards and threw for 71 more, including a nineyard TD to Drew Crombie. Demonte Chatmon had a pair of sacks on defense. Ethan Shattuck ran for 27 yards and Austin Henderson contributed 26 more for the Warriors, while Brandon Frye added five receptions for 44 yards from quarterback Tristan Boling, who scored Tonawanda’s touchdown on a 1-yard first quarter run.

NCAAA football improves to combined 18-2 overall after strong day By Gary Steltermann CONTRIBUTOR

Last weekend, the NCAAA football team’s hosted the Gowanda Panthers at National Overhead Door Field. The Red Raiders saw plenty of success in the early game of the day. Noah Irby opened the scoring with a fast 25-yard run off-tackle as he ran past Panther defenders. Irby also stripped the ball clean from a Panther

ball-carrier and ran it in for a 30-yard touchdown. Jaxsyn Morris got in the scoring action with a scrambling 25-yard touchdown of his own. Richie Donohue had a nice 35-yard score to round out the day. Logan Gray, Isaiah Mackey, and Tellyonno Willis had a dominating day as all had multiple unassisted tackles. The Spartans saw their first loss of the season handed to them in the second game of the day, 27-13. Jeremy Thompson scored

on a 65-yard reverse call as he broke multiple tackles and raced down the sidelines for the score. Evan Kohr returned a kickoff 55 yards to the house for his first special teams touchdown of the year. The Spartans fell to 6-1 but are still in first place in the Freshman Division. The Titans rolled to an easy win with a 34-6 rout over the Panthers. Lebrun Northington showed off his big-play ability once again as he ran in a 55-yard touch-

down. RJ Mack had a good showing of his power and speed as he showed tough running for a 13-yard score. Carson Harper reeled in four catches for 55 yards, a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. Hard running was seen by both Marlo Johnson and Amir Morris along with strong defensive performances from both. The Panthers weren’t able to find the end zone until the final play of the game. The Titans improve to 6-1 on the season.

The final game of the day was a battle of unbeatens as the Crusaders took on the Panthers. It was a one-sided battle for most of the day in favor of the Crusaders. On the first play from scrimmage, Kaizer Acosta took the ball around the right side for a 49-yard touchdown. Javaughn Williams ran around, over and through Panther defenders as he had three touchdowns on the day, the final being a 59-yarder. CJ Ozolins ran

well and also had a fumble recovery, while Bobby Lozada had an interception just before halftime. The Crusaders improve to 6-0. NCAAA teams have a combined 18-2 record heading into their final regular season games when they host rival South Buffalo in a rematch of their Week 1 battles.

Flyers’ defense the driving force behind success By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

Shortly after his team was held to just six points and 97 yards of total offense at Maryvale, Tonawanda head coach Rob Gross did not hesitate when asked about the Flyers’ defense. “They’re one of the best defenses in Western New York, there’s no doubt about that,” Gross said after Maryvale’s 42-6 win in Week 6. “The statistics prove that. They’re a strong team and very wellcoached.” The Warriors were the fourth team in Maryvale’s first six weeks to put up exactly six points. A year ago, Maryvale gave up 28.3 points per game — no opponent has come

within 10 points of that this season. “The defense has definitely risen to the challenge for us,” Maryvale coach Jeff Buccieri said. A whole lot has gone well for Maryvale (5-1 overall, 3-1 in Class B Central) this season but for the Flyers, the success starts on the defensive side of the ball. And while the success is seen on Friday nights, Maryvale says it starts well before that. “We work hard in practice and then bring it to the game,” Flyers senior linebacker Mike Halferty said. And that commitment has been true up and down the roster. As a team, Maryvale JEFFREY T.

Goalkeeper Grabp gives Warriors All-Star level of play

By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

When the ECIC III boys soccer All-Star teams were announced after last season, the first team did not include anyone from Cheektowaga Central, not surprising as the Warriors won just two games. After watching goalkeeper

Anthony Grabp put on a show against powerhouse Starpoint, Warriors’ coach Matt Haberl expects that to change this season. “He was a second-team All-Star last season and we’re going for first team this year,” Haberl said. “That was a firstteam All-Star performance against the No. 1 team.” Starpoint came to Cheektowaga on Oct. 7 and even though it was Senior Night and a rare game under the lights, most soccer followers thought the Spartans were going to roll over the Warriors, especially after earning a 5-0 win over

Cheektowaga earlier this year. But Grabp and Cheektowaga had other ideas. Although Starpoint remained undefeated with a 2-0 victory, the Warriors made sure the Spartans had to work for everything they got. “We were confident coming into the game, thinking we could actually win this game,” Grabp said. “They’re a good team, but we knew we could play with them.” And due in large part to Grabp, they did just that. Grabp made 13 saves, many of the spectacular variety. The two-goal output was the lowest of the season against a

league opponent for Starpoint against anyone other than defending sectional champion East Aurora. “The score could’ve been 8- or 9-0,” Haberl said. “The defense played well, but he made some saves that could have been ESPN-type saves.” Cheektowaga ended the regular season with five wins, more than doubling last year’s total. And when the Warriors scored at least one goal, they were 5-2. Grabp – who doubles as the kicker for Cheektowaga’s divisionwinning football team — has four shutouts on the season

and has proven to be tough to beat for even the best in ECIC III. “Just reactions, that’s it,” he said of his highlight-reel saves. “My defense has played very well in front of me.” Grabp may have been Cheektowaga’s star on Senior Night, but the salutes still went to the team’s 10 seniors: Jack Behlmaier, Khaled NumanAli, Greg Pittman, Hamza Al-Naji, Rodger Gabryszak, Stephen Gosciak, Aaron Horvatis, Matt Makowski, Drew Stachewicz and Michael Swacha. “The last few years, we’ve

been through a lot together,” Grabp said. “Those guys are good players.” After an improved season, the Warriors hope to be betterrepresented on the postseason All-Star teams after landing nobody on the first team but three on the second a year ago. Grabp figures to find his name on the All-Star list somewhere — something he’ll appreciate. But that’s not why he plays the game. “That is nice to get if I can,” Grabp said of postseason honors. “But I just want the win.”

Congress and president approve legislation to keep Kids Korner open Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26), VA WNY Healthcare System Director Brian Stiller and local veterans announced that legislation keeping Kids Korner open, H.R. 5404, the Extending Veterans Expiring Authorities Act, has crossed its final legislative hurdle ensuring the services will be available through 2015. The doors to Kids Korner would have closed on Oct. 1 without this action. Kids Korner, a center that provides free childcare services to veterans while attending appointments at the Buffalo VA, was slated to close on Sept. 30, due to lack of continued funding. Local veterans petitioned to keep the child care center open. Higgins wrote to the House Appropriations Committee this September calling for continued funding for Kids Korner and urged passage of H.R. 5404. “America’s military personnel have placed their lives on the line for our freedom and we must ensure that accessing services isn’t a battle when they return,” Congressman Higgins said. “This on-site child care center reduces a barrier many of our veterans with young families face and allows for flexibility in scheduling

necessary appointments.” “This is an important program for Buffalo veterans and their families,” said Senator Gillibrand, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Many of our men and women who served in the military need counseling and health services and help when they return home. This program helps our veterans receive the services they earned and deserve by providing child care during their appointments. This VA program has been incredibly successful in Buffalo and should remain available here, and expanded throughout the country.” Kids Korner is one of three child care programs at Veterans Administrations across the country: The other two are located in Puget Sound, Wash. and Northport, N.Y. The program, started in 2011, provides free, drop-in child care services for eligible veterans waiting for appointments. “On behalf of my family and veterans we are very grateful to those who assisted us on keeping Kids Korner open for another year so that we have less things to worry about while attending to our medical needs,” said Matejka Baumgardner,

It shows an immediate need to keep this program going so we will continue or work to make Kids Korner a permanent location at the VA.” Need for the Kids Korner services continues to grow including use among grandparent caregivers. In 2012 the Kids Korner facility in Buffalo saw 857 children, ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. Last year Kids Korner served 1,397 children. This year, FY 2014, the site has already provided childcare to 1,228 children. In August 2014, 228 children were served - the highest number to date. A recent survey conducted at the Buffalo found that 100 percent of Veterans were satisfied with the care provided through the program. H.R. 5405 also extends coverage of nursing homecare provided to veterans with service connected disabilities of 70 percent or higher. Furthermore, the bill authorizes an additional $2 million towards a pilot program for counseling services at retreats for retired female veterans.

Though next week he will be back in a recordingg studio, working on thee fifth “Ice Age” film, Leeguizamo has put timee aside to come to Buffaloo this weekend to perform m four shows for local fans ns at Helium Comedy Club.. “People will be entertained, and they’re going to learn something,” Leguizamo said. “My stuff is always pretty out there and daring if I do say so myself.” Those who attend his performances are in for a treat as Leguizamo is premiering his brand new show. “Buffalo is the first place I’m trying it out at,” he said. “I’m curious to see how people relate to the subject matter – the jokes, inappropriateness and intellectual aspect of it.” Performances begin at 7:30 and 10:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 18 at Helium Comedy Club, located at 30 Mississippi St. in Buffalo.

Leguizamo loves perguizam l forming for live audiences because of the immediate feedback he receives. “When a union happens between me and the audience, all of a sudden the show goes places I never thought it would go. They inspire me,” he said. “This is the rawest and most organic dialogue I have. I love the possibility that anything can occur.” Besides acting, Leguizamo is an avid writer. He released an autobiography in 2006 through Harper Collins and created multiple award-winning one-man shows, performed in Chicago and both on- and off-Broadway in New York City. “There is always something

burning in me, a passionate question or a quest, something I couldn’t deal with and needed to learn how to deal with,” he explained. He truly felt like a “legit writer” however when his show “SpicO-Rama” won a playwriting award through Warner Hall. Leguizamo performed his one-man show “Ghetto Klown” on Broadway in 2011, and it is now available on HBO on Demand. Through this show, he learned to forgive, let go and move on. He recently revisited this show and plans to release a graphic novel of “Ghetto Klown” next year through Abrams Books. “The artist I got for the novel captures the reality of the story and then elevates it

further,” Leguizamo said. “It takes you other places. It travels through 40 years of my life, different countries and cities and time zones and cultures. Now it’s all visualized.” Leguizamo has learned many times in his career if you don’t accept defeat and keep your eyes on the prize, you will find success. He didn’t expect his show “Freak” to go to Broadway, and then it received an Emmy award and several other nominations. Fox didn’t imagine “Ice Age” to be a box-office sensation, now there are toys, video n games and multiple movg ies i for the franchise. ie “It “I was magic to do. We “I had h so much fun,” he said about the first “Ice Age” ab film. l “The movie came out and saved Fox for the fourth quarter of the year financially. It was a crazy surprise.” Besides being excited to play the lovable sloth “Sid” and start on his next film, Leguizamo is anxious for the upcoming Nov. 7 release of a film he wrote titled “Fugly.” The film – about a guy who grows up ugly, improves himself in college, attempts to be the “Don Juan” character but always finds himself fallings in love – will be available on iTunes and Video On Demand. To keep up with Leguizamo and his momentous career, follow him on Twitter (@ JohnLeguizamo). To learn more about his show taking place this weekend, visit www.heliumcomedy.com/ buffalo.

Urging the investigation of UNRWA Buttino extends gratitude to hometown Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) and Representative Doug Collins (GA-9) led a bipartisan effort in writing to Secretary of State John Kerry regarding the use of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) facilities to maintain rocket stockpiles during the conflict between Israel and Hamas. In the letter, Higgins and Collins urge the state department to conduct an independent investigation to uncover the extent to which UNRWA facilities are being misused in Gaza. “As a major recipient of U.S. tax dollars, UNRWA must take more robust measures to ensure its facilities are not being used to facilitate terrorism,” Congressman Higgins said. “I urge the state

department to take the appropriate and necessary action.” Congressman Collins said, “The resources of the international community, especially those provided by the United States, simply cannot be used in any way to further terrorism. We’re very concerned about these reports and expect a conclusive state department investigation as soon as possible.” UNRWA provides humanitarian, social services, education and other forms of assistanceto Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. However, during the recent conflict in Gaza, in which Hamas and other groups conducted terrorist operations from civilian areas, rockets were discovered at UNRWA

schools on three separate occasions, constituting a major violation of international law and raising questions about the measures UNRWA is taking to ensure its facilities are not being used by Hamas or other terrorist groups. The letter, which has 67 signatures, stresses that UNRWA should do more to prevent its facilities from being used to endanger the lives of civilians and commit acts of terrorism. In addition to requesting an investigation, the lawmakers call for more thorough screening of staff for membership in Hamas and Hezbollah and increased inspections of UNRWA facilities to ensure they are being used as intended.

for publicizing Reading Rainbow

By Anna Cappello SUN INTERN

Many Americans can say they owe their love of reading to a certain television phenomenon that broke the barriers between reading and TV, created right here in Buffalo. Running for more than two decades, and reaching out to 6.5 million students nationwide, “Reading Rainbow” on PBS became the most frequently watched program in schools. And Tony Buttino, receiver of five Emmys for co-executive producing the show, expresses his gratitude to his hometown for making it all possible years later. “Thanks to the people of Western New York who came together… they were gifted” Buttino said. “And as the saying goes ‘if you do something, you are doing something for the child’ and in this case it seemed to prosper.” And the idea behind “Reading Rainbow?” It was due to a problem well known in education as the ‘summer loss phenomenon.’ This

“Always The Best, Always For Less.”

commonly occurs with students who do not read during summer break and have a hard time catching up to the drilling school routine come September. “So we thought, ‘maybe we can look at a show that might help youngsters get motivated to read over the summer’” Buttino explained. A graduate of Bishop Timon High School and Ithica College, Buttino started his broadcasting career as a cameraman for Channel 17. He spent 40 years behind the scenes of WNED-TV working as a foreman, director, production manager, and finally overseeing the development of “Reading Rainbow.” The goal of this program was to advocate children’s reading comprehension at the elementary level and through the help of local librarians, reading teachers, and college professors this goal turned into a reality. “The Buffalo library system and reading teachers were very cordial and we even got some grants for kids to get some of these books. It all came together very nicely” Buttino recalled. “We worked with West Seneca schools and the West Seneca library to pull this idea together.” The format of “Reading Rainbow” took young viewers on TV field trips using an animated story with illustrations from a particular book. It also

promoted Featured Stories, where kids critiqued books and ended the program with catchy phrases such as “I read this book, and you should too!” Buttino reflected that the main challenge after the creation of “Reading Rainbow” was to promote the TV show in an era where books and television were not friendly to each other. Librarians at the time pretty much said “turn off the TV and read the book.” The concept of combining the two was never seen before and transformed the learning spectrum for ages to come. Thankfully, Buffalo libraries were open to new ideas and helped create a segway for the show to flourish. “I realize as an adult that we tend to prejudge people sometimes” Buttino said. “We were prejudging librarians and reading teachers with the idea that maybe they won’t participate, but we misread it. It just happened that they decided ‘yes let’s do this together.’” Buttino recently received the “Behind the Scenes” Award at the Buffalo Broadcasters Association Awards celebration on Sept. 18 for his work at WNED-TV. He was inducted into the BBA 18th annual Hall of Fame along with Jack Armstrong, Carl Lam, WBLK Radio, Chris Musial, Susan King, Bill Lacy and Don Postles.
