Errick Road Elementary helps area refugees enjoy holiday season Niagara Wheatfield’s Errick Road Elementary teachers Beatrice Arnone, Mary Ann Brier, Lori Godell, Nicole Pasceri and Lori Pruyn teach a unit on the holidays every year and ask the students if they want to help out people less fortunate in the area. The students and their families happily agree to help out refugees who are new Western New York residents, many who had to flee their country with little more than the clothes on their backs. “My son is an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher and works with the refugees,” says Mrs. Pruyn. “After he brought it to our attention that many of them were not prepared for our harsh winters and had little or no posses-
sions of their own we started working with Jewish Family Services. They provided us with names, ages and genders so we could put together care packages for them.” “This has been a great year,” says Mrs. Pruyn. “We have just gotten piles and piles of clothes and toys. The students have really taken ownership of this project and could not wait to come in every day with their donations.” The donations have been so plentiful the classes have already started to put aside items for their families for next year. To add a holiday feel to their offerings, students spent a day decorating the gift boxes with drawings, cut outs and glitter. “We
are so impressed how the students and their parents embraced this project,” says Mrs. Pruyn. “Many of these refugees come from Somalia, Burma, Nepal and various Islamic countries and have literally nothing. We want to thank the Niagara Wheatfield Teachers Association for their generous donation of $300 and one of my former students whose Girl Scout group donated the proceeds from their walkathon. We especially want to thank the moms that came in and helped the students to wrap. It was very kind of all them and will definitely make the holiday season a more pleasant and happier time for the families.”

ECC makes it six straight at national competition For the past five years, students of Erie Community College’s celebrated industrial technology program have enjoyed fall seasons full of awards on the national stage of Mastercam’s Wildest Parts design competition. This year, they continued what has now become an annual tradition of industrial design domination. In a field open to students from over 74,800
schools around the country, ECC’s Michael Manzella notched second place and Paul Gojmerac added third place honors as the college’s participants once again mastered the decades-old contest’s postsecondary division. This is the sixth year in a row that an ECC student has been awarded either first, second or third place in the event, which challenges students enrolled
in Mastercam courses to create a unique, original design using Mastercam software. Williamsville native Manzella earned his honor for “Reel,” a large and complicated titanium fly reel which featured expert milling, tight tolerances and an impressive attention to detail. Kenmore resident Gojmerac’s waterjet-created “Sextant” not only combined
artistic and utilitarian qualities sought after by contest judges, but also exhibited an impressive level of ambition from the ECC student. According to Mastercam judges, “(Gojmerac) gained a much better understanding of the process of taking a concept through all of the steps necessary to become a finished product. The end result was a great learning experi-
ence and an attractive and functional part.” This victory is simply the latest victory for an ECC Industrial Technology Program that is leading the way in Western New York advanced manufacturing by providing trained graduates to answer the region’s dire need for skilled laborers, manufacturers and technicians. Its enrollment has surged over the past nine
years and, thanks in part to the college’s $926,922 received through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grants Program (TAACCCT) in 2012, is now utilizing state-ofthe-art training labs and advanced equipment for students eager to enter the area’s expanding industry.

and hopes to return to the show as it celebrates its decade on American television. “It’s up to the producers to select who will be on the show and if they will be a pro or in the troupe,” Farber said. “It keeps you on your feet.” And being on the show has proved to be more than just a dream come true. “It taught me how to communicate to people and to always be positive,” he shared. “It teaches you to be a better person and to have fun with what you do.” Farber is excited to visit Niagara Falls and perform for the show’s sold-out crowd on Dec. 27.

The idea was simple: celebrities would pair up with a professional dancer and compete for a mirror ball trophy. As viewers tuned to ABC to watch “Dancing with the Stars,” they fell in love with the show, with the network giving the series two seasons a year. The competition series recently wrapped its 19th season, with “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” star Alfonso Ribeiro and professional dancer Witney Carson winning the mirror ball trophy. Mid-season, it was announced the show would be hitting the road, with the first show taking place Dec. 27 at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls. “There will be a lot of dancing with your favorite pros,” shared DWTS troupe dancer Sasha Farber. “I’m happy to be part of it. I can’t wait to show everyone what we have been working on.” Joining Farber on tour are Ribeiro, Carson, Kym Johnson, Emma Slater, Valentin Chmerkovskiy,
joined the live show “Burn the Floor,” allowing him to perform all around the world. He was invited to be part of DWTS Australia, but left the show after a short time to go back to “Burn the Floor.” “I was still young. I wanted to see the world,” he said. “Burn the Floor” even spent seven months on Broadway. “It was a great experience.” Farber always dreamed of being part of the American version of “Dancing with the Stars,” what he says is done on a much higher scale than the show he was part of in his home country. He joined season 13 as a troupe member and danced with reality show star Nicole “Snookie” Polizzi on season 18. He was part of the troupe again this season,

We have a lot of fun together,” said Farber, who started dancing after he realized sports weren’t his forte. “There was always a huge line of girls outside of my school,” the Australia native said. “They were taking dance class. I decided to join them when I was 14 years old as a way to meet girls.” Though he joked around a lot at first he fell in love with dance and began winning at competitions. He then

Higgins announces more than $2.12 million for Niagara County Head Start Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) announced the award of more than $2.12 million in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services for Niagara County Head Start. “When we provide children with the tools to learn at an early age, it opens doors to education and opportunity for years to come,” said Congressman Brian Higgins. Niagara County Head Start, Inc. Executive Director Geraldine Donovan noted that the organization has been in the business of Head Start since 1977 and currently serves 470 children. Head Start is based on
a national model that promotes school readiness among low-income families with a particular focus on language and literacy, as well as cognition and development. When compared to their peers, children who participated in Head Start are more likely to compete academically in high school and attend college after they graduate. A study conducted in California showed that for every dollar invested in Head Start we create $9 in return through increased earnings, employment, family stability, decreased government assistance, crime, and special education costs.

AT&T Western New York Civic App Challenge winners announced Western New Yorkers will be able to turn to their smartphones for information on child care, thruway conditions, rental properties, landlords and other topics, thanks to creativity and innovation that emerged from the 2014 AT&T Western New York Civic App Challenge. The winners of the twomonth “virtual hackathon” were announced Dec. 4 by AT&T, along with community partners including the University at Buffalo, State University of New York at Fredonia, Z80 Labs Technology Incubator, InfoTech Niagara, Launch NY, United Way of Buffalo & Erie County, d!g Buffalo and Hack Upstate. The contest challenged local developers, entrepreneurs, designers and technologists to leverage open data to build smartphone apps that serve community needs. The competition aimed to connect and engage citizens with government and demonstrate how mobile technologies can lead to the next generation of tech jobs and investment. The winners - chosen from among 33 entries and more than 125 participants - were announced at a ceremony at d!g Buffalo, at which developers demonstrated their winning apps: •Grand prize ($10,000): WNY Family Connection, created by Scott Falbo and Karl Newell, both from Amherst. This is an iPhone app enabling families in Western New York to find information about facilities and services that matter to them, including schools, child care, recreational

sites and more. •Second place ($5,000): NY Thruway Guide, created by SUNY Fredonia and Buffalo State graduates Sarah Marcy (Amherst), Dan Wheeler (Jersey City, N.J.), Amber Marcy (Jersey City, N.J.) and Shana Marcy (Boonville). This iPhone app assists motorists traveling along New York’s thruway system by providing information on traffic alerts, cameras, rest stops and Highway Advisory Radio messages. •Third place ($3,000): Rentegrity, created by Eileen Ruberto (Buffalo), Tim Nabzdyk (North Tonawanda) and Sarah Quinta (Buffalo), is a map-based mobile app that helps renters find valuable information about properties and their owners. The app makes it easy to identify places of interest and learn if a landlord is local, if there are recent 911 complaints to the unit or if it’s owned by a community housing group. Plus, the system links to 311 and district council members, so users can submit significant concerns directly to the city. Winners were chosen by a panel of judges made up of local tech experts, community stakeholders and elected officials, who based their decisions upon the apps’ potential impact on Western New York, execution and creativity or novelty. The three winning apps addressed the challenge to solve local problems, resulting in globally applicable solutions that will provide lasting benefits for Western New York. Challenge organizers were
thrilled with the participation and submissions. “The quality of mobile apps created through the AT&T Western New York Civic App Challenge demonstrates the vibrancy and talent of Western New York’s technology and entrepreneurial community,” said Marissa Shorenstein, New York president for AT&T. “We applaud our partners at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York at Fredonia, Z80 Labs, InfoTech Niagara, Launch NY, United Way of Buffalo & Erie County, d!g Buffalo and Hack Upstate for collaborating with us on an initiative that demonstrates clear demand for programmers, both amateur and professional, to create mobile apps that help our communities connect, build businesses and streamline our daily lives.” Grand prize winner and co-creator of WNY Family Connection, Scott Falbo, said, “We created the WNY Family Connection iPhone app as a way to put important information about day care facilities, schools and family support services into the hands of families in Western New York. As a new parent I’ve realized how important it is to be able to make informed decisions about the things that impact my family, and the WNY Family Connection app does just that. Winning the AT&T WNY Civic App Challenge will help us take this app to the Web and Android phones to expand its reach to even more families in the Buffalo area.” “We’re absolutely thrilled to be chosen for this award,” Rentegrity co-cre-
ator Sarah Quintal said. “It validates that there’s broad community need for this project, and this backing will help us expand Rentegrity to offer thousands of renters access to a larger set of meaningful housing data. With this award from the AT&T Western New York Civic App Challenge, we’ll develop new features, grow our community partnerships and work with the city to increase public access to property information.” “Our team would like to thank AT&T, the judges and all those involved in organizing this event. It’s a great honor for the New York Thruway Guide to be selected and represent the civic app challenge in the Greater Western New York area,” said Sarah Marcy, NY Thruway Guide team member. “This investment allows us to enhance and support our current application while giving us the capital to create more innovating applications in the future.

Local sports Falcons focus on details with Will North showdown looming
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
The last time the NiagaraWheatfield and Williamsville North hockey Federation hockey teams squared off, it was for the Class AA Section VI Championship at First Niagara Center. Last March’s title tilt, which was won by the Falcons, may seem like a long time ago for both squads, as neither has gotten off to the start that they had envisioned. Each look to right the ship on Sunday night (Dec. 21) at the Northtown Center in Amherst. Niagara-Wheatfield began the season losing two of its first three games, but a victory over the Spartans could get it back on track as it heads into the holiday break, that is if the Falcons can do the little things to win the game. “They are always a very good team, they are always very
well-coached,” said NiagaraWheatfield head coach Rick Wrazin. “We have to learn to put some pucks in the net. We did it in the first game and only two in the last two games. We have scored two in six periods and that’s just not enough, so against Will North we have to do the little things that it takes to win a hockey game. “There are things in our game plan that we didn’t come close to doing. We have a skilled group of kids and they have been able to get by on that, but against a good team that’s disciplined and well-coached like Will North, we are going to have to figure out how to do the little things right.” The Falcons started the season with a 7-1 win over Lancaster before falling to St. Joe’s in a non-league matchup and to Frontier in a devastating overtime loss. That’s something unusual for Niagara-Wheatfield, which has won three straight sectional championships. The small details have been lacking. Against Frontier, the Falcons dominated puck possession, which has been a program trait over the years, but Wrazin would like them begin to move the puck around in the offensive zone before tossing it at the net.
“Our transition has to be much better in the neutral zone,” said Wrazin. “I think we need to cycle pucks much better. That’s something we have traditionally been very good at and we have had one line do it consistently this year, so that’s just something that they have to get into their heads that they want to do. “A lot of them are skilled players and they think they can come in and win games on their speed and making tic-tac-toe passes, but we’ve told them all along that the kind of goals that it takes to win hockey games take a little grit and dirty work. We have always been a puck possession team and we are trying to get everything to the net too soon and not having enough patience.” The defensive zone has not been an issue for NiagaraWheatfield, as it has given up just four regulation goals in three games. The Falcons have also usually been on the winning side in terms of shots on goal, so they have something to lean on with the play of defensemen like James Stenzel and Matt Canada. “I think we have been pretty strong defensively,” said Wrazin. “We haven’t given up a ton of shots. Defensively we

We have to clear up the front of the net a little bit. I think we have to move pucks a little quicker from the back end as well, but all that being said, it’s an uphill battle
but it’s one we are equipped to take and when our kids get on the right page, you’ll see things fall into place.” One player to watch for in this matchup is Domenic Senese,
who has already lit the lamp three times in three games this season for Niagara-Wheatfield. The puck drops at 4 p.m. on Sunday (Dec. 21) at the Northtown Center in Amherst.
Wheatfield loses on game-winning empty-net goal in OT By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
It was one of the strangest finishes to a hockey game that you will ever see. Niagara-Wheatfield and Frontier battled all game before heading to overtime tied at 1-1. With a minute to go, Falcons head coach Rick Wrazin opted to pull
his goaltender in an effort to win the game as a opposed to finishing with a tie. The move didn’t turn out as expected, because Frontier’s Mike Hughes tossed a puck into the empty net from nearly the length of the ice to defeat Niagara-Wheatfield 2-1 on Sunday night (Dec. 14) at the HarborCenter in downtown Buffalo. “I feel like it was a game we
should win, and I didn’t want to play to tie,” said Wrazin. “I think as a team, a game like that should build character. I think we did some things well but we didn’t do enough well, so I wanted to put it on them and say, ‘here’s your chance to win the game, and if you don’t win it, understand that you didn’t put yourself it the right position.’” The Falcons dominated
puck possession the entire night, outshooting the opposition 38-19 for the game, but it was Frontier who got on the board first after Hughes’ shot from the point got through early in the third period. Niagara-Wheatfield would respond with just under four minutes to play, as Dom Senese ripped one short-side on the power play to tie the game.
In a game in which the shots and possession time were so lopsided, it would be expected that the Falcons would have walked away with an easy win, but they just couldn’t seem to get the puck past Frontier goalie Ryan Kaska. “I think we did dominate the play,” said Wrazin. “But I also think that there are a lot of things that we work on in
practice that we’re not seeing them do in games that would make their lives a lot easier. We have a very good group of kids as far as skill and they worked hard, but the little things that it takes to win a hockey game, the details, are the things they’re not paying attention to.” Dominic Tallarico had 18 saves in net for NiagaraWheatfield (1-2).

ECC’s Dental Lab Tech Program earns grant Erie Community College’s Dental Lab Technology Program has been selected as a recipient for a $5,000 Foundation for Dental Lab Technology’s Keystone Grant, announced in November by the foundation’s Tallahassee, Fla.-located representatives. The prestigious Keystone Grant was established to support educational institutions with dental laboratory technology programs. The annual and competitive grant selection process awards national recipients based on submitted materials that include a program outline, current efforts being made to strengthen the program and planned usage of the funds. For ECC—a school that also boasts competitive programs in dental assisting and dental hygiene, and consistently posts impressive job placement numbers across Western New York—the award will certainly strengthen an already solid dental focus. “This award is appreciated, and further recognition of the great work done by our faculty,” ECC President Jack Quinn said. “Their number one goal is to train our students for sustainable careers, and this grant will certainly help those in dental lab tech do so.” ECC’s Dental Laboratory Technology Program trains students to be capable of the design, fabrication and production of dental prostheses, including full and partial dentures, crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. New state-of-the-art techniques, equipment and materials are emphasized, and within well-equipped laboratories at the ECC South Campus, students are instructed in all aspects of prosthodontic dentistry. Opportunities are available for second-year students to work with dentists in private practice, at hospitals and at commercial dental laboratories as they prepare to join the profession.
