CPOWNY, Buffalo Zoo pair up to welcome giraffe calf By Lizz Schumer THE SUN EDITOR
There is a new face at The Buffalo Zoo, and Community Papers of WNY Inc. is partnering with the Zoo to welcome its first Zooborn baby in some time: A baby giraffe. The male calf arrived in the middle of the night on Oct. 24, to first-time parents A.J, 5, and Moke, 3. Community Papers of WNY has planned a year of events and promotions, in conjunction with the Zoo, to welcome the newest addition to Western New York. A formal press release will be released by the Zoo and CPOWNY on Dec. 15, announcing the still-anonymous baby’s name, as well as the reasoning behind its new moniker. The newspaper group and the Zoo are working together to host a series of events and contests, to coincide with the calf’s first year of life, and CPOWNY readers will be the first to know, and participate in, these promotions. Baby giraffes tend to remain with their parents until they are around about 22 months old, so the organization has plenty of time to spend with the new little one. Special events will include a coloring contest, in which children in grades K-4 color a drawing of the baby giraffe and mother from a drawing template included in all community papers. A winner will be selected from each of

CPOWNY’s 25 community newspapers by random drawing and each winner will receive a family pass for the Buffalo Zoo; two parents and two children. Next will be a contest for winning a named, baby giraffe plush animal, for sharp-eyed readers. A series of eight billboards by Lamar of Buffalo are located throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area that feature the photo and name of the new Buffalo Zoo baby giraffe. The first family from each of the 25 community papers to correctly submit all eight route and crossstreet billboard locations will receive the collectible baby giraffe. Outdoor bill-
boards will be in place for six weeks, starting Dec. 15. According to CPOWNY Director of Marketing Dr. Janet Gane, the baby giraffe’s arrival will be heralded by a year-long calendar of events, distributed by the 25 papers, as well as WNY Health Magazine, with a article focused on conservation and preservation of the animals’ natural habitats. “There’s a real concern about poaching of giraffes, and other animals are also in danger,” Gane explained, “So, we want to make sure our readers are aware of that, as well as the first to know about this precious little one.” The Buffalo Zoo will be

2014-15 Basketball Preview Augustino’s aim is to add stability to N-W girls hoops program
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Niagara-Wheatfield has been anything but stable over the past couple of seasons as it ushers in its third coach in three seasons. The latest hire is Randon Augustino, who was promoted from the head coaching job on JV, and he will look to provide the program with some muchneeded stability. Augustino will be looking to his veterans to help ease through the transition period as they adjust to his coaching style and philosophy this season. “It’s tough for the girls,” said Augustino. “This is their third different coach in three years. There are a lot of different
concepts that they are used to and three different styles. There has definitely been a period of adjustment here at the beginning in understanding the way we want to do things and the way we want to run our program. We lost a ton of experience so it’s definitely an adjustment period so we are trying to lean on girls who have been on varsity for a couple of years to help show the way.” One of the new concepts that Augustino is attempting to implement is establishing an identity for the program. He wants the Lady Falcons to become a defense-oriented team and he wants his girls to buy into becoming a hard-nosed grind-it-out style of team. “One big thing for us is to establish an identity,” said Augustino. “We want to be a defensive team.We want to have a defensive mindset but getting girls to buy into that concept is not always easy, especially having all of those different coaches
JEFFREY T. BARNES
N-W will be coached by Randon Augustino. the last couple of years. “ One piece of the puzzle that will help ease the transition not only with experience, but as a tremendous defensive presence is Allyson Czaja. As a junior, the 6-foot-1 center averaged 10.1 points, 11.1 rebounds and two blocks per game before her season was derailed due to a knee injury. Czaja will be the focal point of the team this season, as she
will be one of the most dominant forces in the Niagara Frontier League. “I had a personal trainer over the summer,” said Czaja. “So I worked on my knees all summer. I have a positive outlook. I worked on my foul shots and just shooting around.” Czaja’s play will be crucial this year as she lost her partner in the post from last year in Kristen Klettke, so height will
be at a premium for NiagaraWheatfield. If opposing teams weren’t going to focus their defensive schemes around stopping her before, that changed after Czaja went for 23 points, 19 rebounds, eight blocks and three steals in the season opener. “She’s definitely going to be a big part of our offense,” said Augustino. “At the same time she’s going to be a big part of every other team’s scouting report so the emphasis is going to be on stopping her.” While Czaja will be one of the most imposing forces in the post, she will get some help from one of the best athletes in the NFL in Kyri Jackson. Jackson, a phenomenal track and field performer, averaged 7.4 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game last year. She has the versatility to play in the paint as a forward, as a ball handler or on the wing, which will be crucial for a team that will attempt to push the ball at
every opportunity. “I like running,” said Jackson. “Running is a part of basketball so it’s something to I need to do. It’s hard work but at the end it feels great.” Augustino will be relying on two juniors that he coached on the JV team since they are familiar with his system in guard Taylor Trunzo and forward Brooke DeVantier. Meanwhile they will go with an older starting backcourt in senior Angela Coulter and senior Emma Falter, who will be the primary point guard for the Lady Falcons. Three younger players in sophomores Madison Kildonas and Alyssa Ward, along with freshman Emma Carrier will play prominent roles for Niagara-Wheatfield. Kildonas was a member of the varsity team last year and could be looking to have a breakout season. Niagara-Wheatfield dropped its season opener to Cleveland Hill 69-47 on Dec. 8.
O’Bryant believes Falcons are on right track to success By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
It has been a tough road for much of the last three seasons for Niagara-Wheatfield. The Falcons have a total record of 13-46 in the past three years, including going just 2-18 last season. Fortunately, however, it looks that they have the correct man at the helm to right the ship, as Erik O’Bryant is no stranger to reclamation projects. O’Bryant took NorthTonawanda from the basement to the top of the Niagara Frontier League
before taking over at NiagaraWheatfield, and he believes that his program is on the right track to success. “I’m confident that it’s going to help us that we took our lumps last year,” said O’Bryant. “We had a plan. We knew what we were doing. We sometimes started four sophomores at a time. We took our lumps. I’ve done it before. I did it at North Tonawanda for five years and I turned it around and we are going to do it here. It just takes time.” The Falcons will rely heavily on their front line, which will be one of the biggest in the NFL, as they start three players over
6-foot-4. The key to success will the guard play, as Niagara-Wheatfield is not as experienced in the backcourt as some of the more athletic teams in the league. “We have all our core guys from our rotation back,” said O’Bryant. “We are going to rely heavily on our forwards. We are big. Our guards control our destiny because the NFL is an extremely athletic league.” One of the forwards that the Falcons will be relying on is center Nathan Williams, who is entering his third year of varsity basketball. Not only does the senior stand 6-foot-4, but he is well over 200
pounds and has the ability and athleticism to control the paint from the foul line to the rim. Williams will be joined up front by 6-foot-4 swingman Ty Parmentier.Niagara-Wheatfield also has a player that has the ability to be a dominant presence in the future in Denzel Fuller. At 6-foot-5, the junior didn’t begin his basketball career until he was a freshman so he is beginning to transition from a tall post player into a guy that is beginning to develop basketball skills that allow him to play inside and on the wing. “Denzel started at the end of the season last year as a sopho-
more,” said O’Bryant. “He is still learning how to play the game. He didn’t start playing until he was a freshman. The light hasn’t gone on yet but it’s starting to. I think it’s going to be surprising to a lot of people when it does.” The backcourt again will be the place to watch for the Falcons, as they are relatively inexperienced in that regard. Nathan Nielsen has been a varsity player since he was a freshman, and started last year as a sophomore, but the lefty doesn’t have much experience beside him. Brandon Funderburk, who transferred from St. Joe’s last
year, will be called upon to play the point and he has the IQ to play the position but needs some game action. Austin Wangler, Justin Eaton and Preston Miller will provide some punch off of the bench for Niagara-Wheatfield, which believes that the hard work that they’ve put in over the summer and preseason will help them improve this season. “We are working a lot harder,” said Parmentier. “We are pushing each other in practice. We work hard every day.” The Falcons won their season opener on Dec. 3 over Newfane 58-47.

Hairdresser by day, rock star by night By Lauren Kirchmyer
ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER
The only thing on Rob Burgio’s mind growing up was music. As a child, he visited his father, a hairdresser, at work and helped him sweep the floors. Though hair was in his blood, he fell in love with music and exchanged his broom for a guitar when he was 12 years old. He joined his school’s band and found himself playing in bands with his friends during his spare time. After graduating high school, Burgio knew he wanted to continue in music, but didn’t know what he wanted to do for a professional career. He enrolled at Buffalo State, taking pre-requisite and music courses. Though he did well in his music courses and loved performing in the school’s jazz ensemble, he found himself struggling in his pre-requisites. It was during this time he found out his parents were getting divorced, and his father was moving to California. “I decided to spend the summer with my dad in California when I was 19 years old,” Burgio said. Just like his childhood, he joined his dad at the hair salon every day. He enjoyed the experience and realized what career path he wanted to pursue. As soon as Burgio returned to Buffalo, he enrolled in beauty school and, to his surprise, began his journey as a full-time hairdresser. One day while working at a salon, he was discussing ideas to open a new
CPOWNY
Salon La Moda, the official salon of the Buffalo Bandettes. salon with fellow hairdresser, Dana. On Nov. 4, 1996, the pair opened Salon La Moda on Delaware Avenue in the Village Kenmore. As their salon grew larger, so did their love for one another. Burgio proposed to Dana, who said yes, and the salon moved to a larger location. The two are happily married and recently moved Salon La Moda to its third location, a brand-new stateof-the-art facility at 2180 Niagara Falls Blvd. in the Town of Tonawanda. Salon La Moda, the official salon of the Buffalo Bandettes, provides services such as hair cutting, waxing, customized hair coloring, hair extensions, eyelash extensions, pedicures and manicures. Burgio, Dana and their employees also continue taking classes so they can give each client the best
service possible. Moving to a new location allowed Dana to add a feature to the salon most salons don’t offer: customized wig fitting. “It started with having patients who were going through chemo treatments,” Burgio said. “We’re one of the only salons featuring that.” Though owning and working at a salon takes up a lot of time, Burgio finds a way to continue his music career. “I played bass guitar with Seven Day Faith,” Burgio said. “We had a few hit songs and played with Avril Lavigne. Hearing our songs on the airwaves was an amazing moment for me.” He has played in many bands since Seven Day Faith and currently plays with Leah Erin in the country/soul duo Beautiful Remedy.
“We just put out a CD on iTunes. We’re going to Nashville this summer to perform there and we’re working on signing a promotional deal out of AStar Promotions,” Burgio said. Though being a hairdresser and a musician are two different personas, Burgio couldn’t imagine his life without either. “Sometimes you need a different outlet other than what you’re doing on a regular basis,” he said. “They’re both so amazing and so different from each other. I would be miserable if I didn’t have both of them.” To learn more about Salon La Moda, visit www. salonlamoda.com.

It is very rewarding to participate and it is my way of giving back to the community that I grew up in.” This year, the Salvation Army kettle stands will be set up at all Tops Niagara Falls and Lewiston locations, and Sam’s Club, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Save-A-Lot and Big Lots in Niagara Falls.
