Free family portraits at Community Missions give the gift of memories Through the generosity of Bob and Jan Inwards, Community Missions provided family and individual portraits during the Christmas season again this year. This is the third year that the Inwards gave of their time and talent to present the opportunity for this special gift to 33 of those who use the Mission’s services. “To get a family portrait is often too expensive for many families,” said Bob Inwards. “The portraits capture a moment and help us remember those we love whenever we see those photos.” In October, the Mission began offering appointments for the free portraits alongside the Adopt-AFamily Christmas Program, which provides families help with gifts during the holidays. Signups were also offered to guests who come to the Mission’s Community Soup Kitchen. Sittings were scheduled over a three-day period in early November, when Bob and Jan set up at the Mission for most of the day and into the evening with professional backdrop, lighting and cameras. “We just love taking the time to be at the Mission doing this,” said Jan Inwards. “People are happy and laughing, and are so excited to see the picture, because we can show them what they

Each family gets a single 8”x10” print, as well as a CD with the files of the several photos that are taken. This year, the Mission
provided each portrait in a frame. The portraits are ready for the families to pick up well before Christmas. “We had a portrait done last year, and then we came back this year, and we like this one even better,” said Leon Street, who posed with his wife and three grandchildren. “We
appreciate being able to do this. We wouldn’t be able to get it done for free anywhere else!” Bob always had an interest in photography and has taken it up more intensely in his later years. “I was looking for a way to use photography to do some good in the community,” Bob explained.
“Then a little over three years ago, Pastor Mark Breese, the minister at Community Missions, came to speak at our church [Pendleton Center United Methodist Church]. Jan and I thought, ‘Why don’t we see if there is a way we could help the Mission?’ So we talked with him after the service.”
Since then Bob, has done more than just the portrait project each year. He has volunteered his time to document countless events and fundraisers the Mission has held. The Mission is so appreciative of his help, they honored him at their 2014 Annual Compassion in Action Awards Brunch. “The Inwards have been wonderful to us,” said Andrea Gray, Events and Volunteer Coordinator at Community Missions. “Many times we don’t even have to call him. He sees our announcement of an upcoming event, and he calls us to ask if we could use his services.” “It is such a blessing to have something like this available to those we serve,” said Pastor Breese, Agency Minister and Director of Ministry and Community Partnerships at the Mission. “The Inwards are people of faith who took seriously the call to use their gifts to serve others. This project brings joy to many people during a time when there is often stress and sadness. It is a special way of ministering and helping people see that there is a reason to celebrate, and to find the joy that Christmas tells us about—the Joy of the Christ Child being born and a family being created, even if it begins somewhere as humble as a stable in Bethlehem.”

Grant to support child care programs Child Care Resource Network (CCRN) will become a new Cavity Free Kids hub and will train and support early child care programs in successfully using CHOMPERS: Cavity Free Kids curriculum to help young children impacted by poverty develop lifelong healthy dental habits and better oral health. The grant for $20,000 was given in August and will provide training and services to child care programs through January 2016. Through the CHOMPERS program, CCRN will work with family and group family early child care programs in the high-
poverty zip codes of Buffalo. Children birth through 5 years old will be the focus of outreach and education. When speaking about the implementation of the grant, CCRN CEO Lynn Pullano said, “More than 65 percent of young children in Buffalo live in poverty. They are often at risk for dental problems that can interfere with eating, speaking and learning—making it even more difficult for them to succeed in school and later in life. We’re grateful that the foundation recognizes how essential early dental health is to long-term well-being.” Since 1987, Child Care
Resource Network has advocated for quality child care and education for all children. CCRN is a nonprofit organization providing child care referral services and resources for families, child care provider registration and licensure, continuing education for child care providers and nutrition resources for child care providers. Its mission is to support families, child care providers, employers and the community by developing and advocating for high quality, accessible and affordable child care and education for all children.

Flu prevalence in county increases significantly
Erie County experienced a rapid and significant increase in the number of positive tests for influenza “flu” reported to the Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) in the past two weeks reports Erie County Commissioner of Health Dr. Gale Burstein. “Our surveillance data shows that the number of positive tests for influenza more than doubled in one week, representing an increase of 127 percent,” Burstein said.The majority of these cases were the Influenza A strain. ECDOH has been in touch with the local hospital systems who are reporting significant increases in patient volumes, and in particular, among elderly patients. Most people with the flu will have a mild illness and will not require medical care or antiviral drugs. If you have flu symptoms and are very sick or worried about your illness, ECDOH urges you to contact your health care provider before you head to a hospital emergency department. If you do not have a primary care provider and need medical evaluation, seek care at an urgent care center. Emergency department resources should be reserved for people who are very ill. “It’s important to contact
your primary care physician if you are concerned about your or your child’s flu symptoms” said Dr. Burstein. “Emergency Departments should be utilized for emergencies. Typically, flu can be treated at home. There is always the possibility that while awaiting treatment in an Emergency Department you may contract a contagious disease from another patient in the waiting room.” Individuals having difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or are dizzy and weak from possible dehydration, should seek medical evaluation immediately. Certain people, including young children, elderly persons, pregnant women and people with certain long-term medical conditions are at greater risk of serious flu-related complications. If you are in a high risk group and develop flu symptoms, contact your health care provider. Remind them about your high risk status for flu. If you have the flu, stay at home and rest. Avoid close contact with well people in your house so you do not make them sick. Drink plenty of liquids to prevent fluid loss (dehydration) and treat fever and other symptoms with over-the-counter medication. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), along with ECDOH, recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone (except to get medical care or if there are things you have to do that no one else can do for you). Stay away from others as much as possible to keep from spreading influenza. If you must leave home, wear a face mask if you have one, or cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or into your arm. Wash your hands often to avoid transmitting the virus to others. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are no reports of local, regional, or national shortages of influenza antiviral drugs (e.g., Tamiflu®) from manufacturers. It is possible, however, that some spot shortages may occur in local areas. Due to the current elevated influenza activity, patients may have difficulty locating antiviral drugs and might have to contact more than one pharmacy in order to fill their prescriptions. To be effective at treating and reducing the duration of influenza symptoms, antiviral treatment should be initiated within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms. The CDC recommends initiation of antiviral treatment as early as possible (within the first two days of symptom
onset), especially for those at high risk for complications, including children less than 2 years of age and individuals over 65 years. Antiviral therapies may reduce the severity of illness, decrease the risk of complications (including hospitalization) and shorten the duration of illness. To Stay Healthy: Frequent hand-washing is crucial so that illness is not spread from one person to another. Wash your hands carefully and thoroughly with soap and water, especially after using the toilet or changing diapers. Always wash your hands before eating, preparing, or handling food. When sneezing or coughing, be sure to turn away from others and use a tissue to cover your mouth or nose and sneeze into the crook or your arm, rather than into your hands. Get a Flu Shot: Influenza can lead to severe respiratory illness requiring hospitalization and in some cases can be fatal. The flu season can last as late as May due to variations in the timing and duration of the season. As long as flu season is not over, it is never too late to be vaccinated. While this year’s vaccine does not protect against all of the flu strains in circulation currently, it is still highly recommended.
Flu vaccines protect against three or four viruses (depending upon the type of vaccine you receive) so that even when there is a less than ideal match or lower effectiveness against one virus, the vaccine may protect against the other viruses. The flu vaccine is readily available in Erie County in physicians’ offices, pharmacies and other community sites. What exactly is the Flu? It is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, which can cause mild to severe illness. It is especially important for certain populations at high risk for serious flu complications to get vaccinated. Those people include: People at high risk of developing serious complications like pneumonia if they get sick with the flu, including: • Individuals with certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, morbid obesity, and chronic lung disease • Women who are pregnant, have recently given birth or are breast feeding • People 65 years and older • People who are immunosuppressed where their body’s immune system or ability to fight off infection may be impaired • People who live with or
care for others who are at high risk of developing serious complications • Health care providers • Young children, especially those under 2 years of age Symptoms of the Flu The onset of flu is sudden: fever, muscle aches, chills, and extreme tiredness are common symptoms and help differentiate flu from other common respiratory viral infections, such as a cold. Some people may experience vomiting or diarrhea, although this is more common in children than adults. How is the Flu spread? Flu is spread mainly by droplets made when people with flu cough, sneeze, or talk. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby. Less often, a person might get flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. The typical incubation period for flu is from one to four days (average: two days). Adults can be infectious from one day before onset of symptoms to five to seven days after the onset of illness. Most people who get influenza will recover in a few days to less than two weeks. For more information: Erie County Department of Health visit www.erie.gov/ health

Starpoint club hockey expecting another strong season By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
There may not be a more dominant hockey program that few know about. Starpoint club hockey has reached ‘Super Sunday’ at the First Niagara Center each of the last four seasons, winning the small school championship on two of those occasions. While the Spartans don’t receive any school funding, the coaches are unpaid, and they receive no recognition from
Section VI, that hasn’t stopped them from building one of the top programs around. “The program is just growing,” said Starpoint head coach Clayton Wilson. “The kids work their tails off and they come to the rink every day wanting to get better. We strive to make it to Super Sunday. That’s what our goal is that we set at the beginning of the year. We’ve been fortunate enough to get there the last four years and the goal is to do it again. The way they are playing right now, it should happen, but they have to get it done. It’s not given to us.” The fact that Starpoint is on track to once again reach the small school championship is a credit to the coaching staff and
players as they face a few more challenges than the schools that play in the Section VI Federation Hockey League. Players must pay for ice time, uniforms and travel expenses, none of which are cheap. But the fact that they are used to playing travel hockey helps the cause. Club hockey programs often get a negative reputation as they are not always considered to the level of Federation programs, but Wilson claims that he would take his team against any of the small schools in Fed hockey. “I would take on any one of the local Fed small schools this year and I bet you we would be in the top three,” said Wilson. Starpoint is off to an unbeaten start this season, including a victory over Cheektowaga,
something the team hasn’t done in three years. One of the main reasons for that has been the play of a forward line consisting of captain Andrew Parrish, assistant captain Patrick Miklinski, and Josh Krupczyk. “Last year we had a very a good line, but this year it seems like we all just gel together very well,” said Miklinski. “We always know where each other is going to be. It’s worked very well; we are putting the puck in the net a lot.” Despite the prolific scoring up front, the strength of the team is on the blue line with the defense corps. The group is led by assistant captain Jake Wildt. He is joined by a quartet that logs a signifi-
cant amount of ice time in Justin Bender, Jeff Wawrzynek, Matt Dickerson and Josh Wildt. After being together for the majority of last year, the group feels that they are starting to come together this year. “Last year we had basically the same group of guys,” said Jake Wildt. “It showed after last year, coming into this year, that we are all coming together as a whole and starting to excel with each other because we are all the same age and we know what each other is going to do. It’s working very well.” The pressure of continuing a tradition of excellence can be overwhelming for many young players. As the captain, Parrish will be joined by two junior associates
in Wildt and Miklinski for the first time under Wilson, but they all seem to be up to the challenge. “You are expected from all your underclassmen to lead and be the person to follow,” said Parrish. “Between me and the two assistant captains that we are keeping, it’s pretty good.” This year, the goal will be to win the small school championship, and try to avoid a slip up that has happened at times on Super Sunday. Starpoint will be hoping to put it all together on the ice this year. “We always work hard but we seem to have that game where we lack a little bit,” said Parrish. “We have been playing through it and hopefully this year we can change things.”

Local sports North Tonawanda boys, girls rollers off to 3-3 start
By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER
As the North Tonawanda Lumberjacks boys and girls bowling teams prepare to hit the second round of Niagara Frontier League play, both squads are sitting in fourth place with matching 3-3 records. After winning multiple NFL titles and always being in contention for first place, sitting in the middle of the pack is an unusual position for the Ladyjacks’ program to be in. Still, head coach Bill Rohring said his very young team is staying the course and doing well. “I would say if we went 7-7, that would be what I would expect for the season,” said Rohring. “They’re right where they’re supposed to be.” Going into the annual Festival of Lights Tournament, that was played on Dec. 30, the Ladyjacks were getting solid results from senior captain Bridgette Enright, who is sporting a 171.38 average,
and freshman Haylee Sutton. Sutton, who is also a captain, saw a spike in her average in recent matches after getting a new ball. Rohring said that Sutton’s previous ball lost some of its spark because it had picked up so much oil from the various lanes over the course of time. Sutton has seen her average spike from 173.44 to just over 190 in the last two or three matches since acquiring the new ball. “She’s bowled pretty well since she got the new ball,” said Rohring. Rohring said the rest of the team is also showing marked improvement in their games as well. Especially the very young student-athletes in the program. Eighths graders Kate Scozzafava, Jordan Johnson and Samantha Mischlin and seventh grader Ashley Dixon have all done extremely well. Maria Davis and senior Susan Tooke have been bowling well and Jess Sass is always solid. On the boys side, it’s still a matter of finding that teamwide consistency. Rohring said the team showed great signs as a group in a win over Grand Island at home on Dec. 16, but then regressed in a loss to Niagara Falls two days later. Kyle Behr struggled against the Falls and tumbled from

2 overall in the NFL. Dillon Snopkowski (188.33) and Antonio LaBarbera (184.28) are still maintaining good averages, but Rohring said that everyone is still in those up-and-down phases of
their games. Rohring believes the talent is certainly there and he has rotated the lineups in hopes of cashing in on the right mix of guys that can find success. “Last year they kind of had

NT goes into the the Festival of Lights tied with Kenmore East, while Lewiston-Porter is holding down third at 4-2. Niagara Falls and Niagara-Wheatfield are locked in a tie for first place at 5-1. The sweep of Grand Island on Dec.16 not only provided the Jacks with important league wins, but it was a special afternoon for Rohring, who recorded his milestone 300th (and 301st) win of his career. It was especially memorable for Rohring, who not only attended and bowled for Grand Island, it was also the home of his first varsity coaching job 24 years ago. Rohring, who spent seven years at Kenmore East, is now in his 16th season with North Tonawanda. Rohring said the passage of time is much more stunning to him than the number of wins. “It’s mind boggling to me because I still remember when I was the rookie coach in the league,” he said with a smirk. “Now, with Kathy McDonald from Sweet Home retiring, I’m now the senior coach.”
Stallions tie Wheatfield Blades, down Hamburg Hawks The Mite Major Clarence Stallions and Wheatfield Blades faced off on Dec. 19 at Hockey Outlet. For the Stallions, Luke Marchant (Clarence) opened the scoring with a breakaway goal. Defenseman and former
Wheatfield Blade Drew Idzik (North Tonawanda), then recorded a goal. On a partial breakaway, Miles Santa Maria (Amherst) rang a shot in off the goaltender’s left post. Liam Graham (Clarence) slid a shot into the net on
an odd-man rush to put the Stallions up 4-3 in the third. For Wheatfield, TJ Bamrick (of Amherst) contributed to all four goals, cashing in with three of his own and adding a helper. Easton Larrabee and Mat-
thew Myhalenko each assisted one of Bamrick’s goals. The Wheatfield goal that Bamrick set up was recorded by Owen Tylec, and it was Bamrick’s third goal that salvaged a tie for the Blades. •••
The Stallions defeated the Lakeview Hawks of Hamburg, 5-1, on Dec. 20, building their offense on solid defense. Stallions’ defensemen Owen McIntyre, Tucker Schoen, Maximus Henning (Clarence) and Idzik permitted
only seven shots on net. Goals for the Stallions were had by: Marchant (two), Alex Fulfaro (Amherst), Nic Zivis (Clarence) and Santa Maria. Assists were had by Cameron Stadelmaier (Wheatfield) and Santa Maria.

Running to remember a fallen hero By Kimberlee Sabshin NT SUN CORRESPONDENT
Marine LCpl Christopher Shank proudly completed the Marine Corps Marathon for the first time, while his wife, Kristie cheered him on. “The overall atmosphere was pretty amazing,” said Kristie. “At the end, there were Marines cheering everyone on.” This is what motivated the couple to participate in next year’s marathon together. “Being at the marathon has motivated me to get into running because I had never ran before that,” said Kristie. “It was super motivating.” In addition to the atmosphere, Chris and Kristie
both noticed there were many runners wearing shirts representing a fallen hero. This was when they decided to run next year in honor of their fallen North Tonawanda High School former classmate, LCpl Timothy Serwinowski. “There are close to 30,000 people running it every year,” said Chris. “During the run, there’s a stretch of names of the fallen and that’s where I got the idea to do it for Tim.” Serwinowski paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan in June 2010. The loss affected many residents, including the Shanks. They’re encouraging others to join them on their journey toward the 26.2 mile race. While Chris has been an avid runner for some time, Kristie has just
begun her training and says it’s not too late for others to start too. The marathon will be held on Oct. 25 in Washington D.C. The Shanks are hoping to get a group together to make the trip and participate in honor of Serwinowski. Chris and Kristie have created a Facebook page for their cause and welcome anyone interested to join. Anyone is able to participate in the marathon. Active and reserve military members can register on Feb. 23. Others can sign up on March 13 and names will be randomly selected by March 25. There is also a 10k that participants can sign up for on May 20. For those who don’t enjoy running, the Shanks
are still encouraging friends to come along. “We really want to encourage people who don’t want to run just to go for the weekend,” said Kristie. “We kind of wanted to make it a weekend of remembering Tim.” The Facebook page created for the event is titled “26.2 for Tim”. Kristie and Chris have already been posting training tips and encouraging members of the group. Kristie most recently posted that marathon runners should begin their training six months in advance. Before then, they should be running three to four times per week. For more information on the marathon, please visit www.marinemarathon.com.

WNY military honored at Russell’s Steaks, Chops & More By Matthew Ondesko MANAGING EDITOR
During the holiday season, it is easy sometime to just think about yourself and your family. The hustle and bustle of this time of year normally has something to do with that. So, when someone takes the time do something nice for others, it makes the holidays that much more special. Russell Salvatore didn’t need to go out of his way Sunday night to put on a special dinner at Russell’s Steaks, Chops & More. He wanted to. Salvatore hosted 18 young men and women, and their families, in a show of appreciation for their dedication and service to the United States.
All the young men and women that were honored are attending West Point, the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy. “To me it feels great,” said Salvatore, before the reception started. I feel very, very proud to do this. The entire staff feels very proud. It shows that we have fine young people growing up in the United States.” The event had all the young men and women from Western New York dress up in their dress uniforms. It started off with a reception at 5:30 p.m. before dinner at 7 p.m. During the reception, it gave these young individuals a chance to catch up with friends and family. After the reception, all the Cadets and Midshipmen where introduced
one by one before into the dining room. From there a prayer was given, followed by a toast. The generosity given by Salvatore and his staff was not lost on the Cadets from West Point. Williamsville South High School graduate Maria Manna said she was able to talk to Salvatore during the reception and thanked him for everything he did for them. “We our so appreciative of it [the dinner],” stated Manna. “He [Mr. Salvatore] is so generous to do this. He was enjoying himself, I think. “ Giving back to the community is nothing new for Salvatore. For years he has helped out the Western New York community in different ways. This was just one more thing he wanted to do for those
Russell Salvatore stands the young men and women from the United States Military Academy West Point, Naval Academy and Air Force Academy young men and women who chose to attend one of the academies and fight and defend the country from different acts of war.
“It feels great,” stated Salvatore. “It always feels great to give back to anyone who served our country. We did everything we
could for them. It feels good. They are great looking young men and women.”
