The spirit of Halloween on Hertel

CIRCULATION 8,157

By Dave Ricci COURIER CORRESPONDENT

Hertel Avenue was, to say the least, alive with the spirit of Halloween as the third annual Halloween on Hertel walk took place last weekend. Families with costumed kiddies owned the street and they traveled up and down the Avenue, stopping by participating businesses for treats ranging from candy and suckers to apple cider. “It’s absolutely incredible,” said Justin Brandon, owner of Berth’s Diner, one of the participating businesses. “Watching all of these young families with their kids (walking) up and down the street. Takes you back to Hertel’s heyday.” Brandon’s words were fitting as the amount of foot traffic truly conjured up a by gone time when families would walk, shop and spend the bulk of their weekend’s on Hertel Ave as people not only had family time together in a safe, secure atmosphere they also took advantage of the chance to discover and support local merchants. “Ava and I shop up and down Hertel quite often,” said Meg Marshall, who was with her four-year old daughter, Ava. “So we know the stores and vendors. It’s great. Every time there is something posted (on Hertel) we try to come up.” The types of costumes

Sara Nichter handing out candy at Halloween on Hertel were cute, creative and seemingly endless. From penguins and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Spider-Man to Wolverine, Super Mario Brothers, NASCAR drivers, various kitten outfits and, of course, Batman. Nick Gazzoli, who was with his wife Angela Gazzoli and their children Hudson (Green Lantern) and Haven (Wonder Woman), was decked out in a full Batman costume.

Gazzoli knelt down to one youngster named Liam who was in a Batman outfit and said, “You’re Batman, I’m Bat-dad.” The North Park Theater, located next door to Bertha’s, was in the spirit of the moment as there were three actors in front of the theater dressed in Ghost Busters outfits to help promote the fact the theater was showing the Bill Murray classic as it’s weekend matinee as part of

Halloween on Hertel. Floral Explorations hosted a free mini pumpkin painting event that saw roughly 200 pumpkins decorated. For once, Mother Nature was a friend, and residents took full advantage of the beautiful day as stores, shops and restaurants all up and down Hertel were bustling with activity. “We love the activity on Hertel. It’s a great idea,” said Joe Cardinal, who was

shopping and walking with his wife, Rogan MortonCardinal, and their children Carly (8) and Cam (5). “It’s one of the main reasons that we came,” added Morton-Cardinal, as she added how her family always makes a point of shopping local. From Bertha’s Diner to Kostas, the street was energized with people making the most of this family-oriented event. “We absolutely love it,”

said Cardinal. “We think it’s a great idea and it’s just encouraging to see this amount of activity going on. Not just because it’s a Halloween special. People are here because they like to be here.” While the adults liked the shopping end the kids, well, they were all about the candy. “I like it because I like all the candy,” Carly Cardinal said with a smile.

Roswell Park now offering screening mammograms for general public Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) announces the expansion of its breast imaging services to the general public, offering routine screening mammography to non-patients in an effort to improve breast cancer screening rates and increase detection of breast cancer at the earliest, most curable stages. Current statistics show that as many as half the women who should be receiving an annual mammogram are not getting this important cancer screening. “We are pleased to be able to offer our technology and expertise for breast cancer detection to all women,â€? says Ermelinda Bonaccio, MD, director of breast imaging at RPCI. “Cancer detection, diagnosis and treatment are our specialty. Applying our capabilities to breast cancer screening is an important part of our mission.â€? Mammography is the only screening test that’s proven to reduce a woman’s risk of dying from the disease. But in the City of Buffalo, a lack of facilities that offer mammography screening makes it PRUH GLIĂ€FXOW IRU ZRPHQ WR get the screening. “Currently, there are only Ă€YH 8 6 )RRG DQG 'UXJ $GPLQLVWUDWLRQ FHUWLĂ€HG PDPmography centers in operation in the City of Buffalo, including Roswell Park; in 2012, there were 11 facili-

In addition, Erie County has the highest breast cancer mortality rate compared to the rest of New <RUN 6WDWH DQG KDV WKH KLJKHVW breast cancer mortality rate among African-Americans in the state, too. A new and larger breast imaging center will be located within the 11-story clinical sciences center, currently under construction adjacent to the main Roswell Park hospital, but the need for these services was deemed too urgent to wait for the building’s completion. At RPCI, screening mammograms are batch read by WZR 53&, UDGLRORJLVWV 6WXGies show this method of batch reading lowers the rate of false positives, which means fewer women need to return for additional images.

Tips to help you personalize your kitchen (NAPSI)—If your family is like most, it’s not like any other, and your kitchen shouldn’t be either. Every family has its own distinct requirements for the kitchen. Fortunately, a few simple steps can help you personalize your cooking and cleaning space to make it work best for you. Some ideas to personalize your kitchen workspace: • While a monochrome look can be sophisticated and serene, a few pops of color in curtains, cushions, door and drawer pulls can set it off and point it up. • Use your kitchen to show off your style. If you collect saltshakers, say, display them on open or glassfronted shelves. Display your grandmother’s famous pie recipe in a frame. • It’s a bright idea to look to the lighting. There should be task lighting, accent lighting to highlight a special feature, and general overhead light. Try a bright spotlight in the kitchen over the sink or stove.

• Let that light shine on a sink you’ve customized to meet your needs. The Blanco One collection offers three sinks and five innovative accessory kits that combine to create unique personalized solutions for cooking, cleaning and organizing. Start with the sink bowl. The Blanco One base is available in three model sizes to match your needs— XL Single, Super Single and Medium bowls. The 9�-deep bowls are easy to clean and created from high-quality stainless steel with Blanco’s signature Satin Polished Finish. If you want to keep knives out of reach of your kids, if you want a cutting board that lets you clean, cut and save space, or if you live in a small space and you don’t have counter space to both clean and prep, there’s a Blanco One accessory just for you. The Magnetic Sink Caddy holds cleaning tools inside the sink; the Workstation holds knives and utensils;

•Access to genetic counseling, the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment and Prevention Program for those at high risk of developing cancer and the multidisciplinary breast cancer care team. Afternoon and evening appointments (3 to 6:20 p.m.) are reserved for women getting a screening mammogram, and free onsite parking is provided. Appointments take approximately 30 minutes, and women receive a personal phone call the following morning with their results. RPCI recommends that women at average risk should begin yearly mammograms at age 40. Personal risk factors such as family history of the disease may warrant screening beginning at an earlier age.

Christmas in the Country returns to fairgrounds with new ‘return pass’ offer A favorite Western New York tradition, the Christmas in the Country Holiday Artisan Market will celebrate its 30th season when it returns to the Hamburg Fairgrounds Nov. 6-9. And for the first time in its storied history, Christmas in the Country will offer complimentary return passes so patrons can enjoy the sights, sounds and scents of this one-of-a-kind shopping experience all weekend long. “We have always felt our patrons needed more than just one day to properly enjoy this event,” said Daniel Kaczynski of Premier Promotions, organizers of the event. “Now everyone has the opportunity to come back as much as they would like at no additional cost.” This year, Christmas in the Country will welcome more than 400 artisans spread out over five buildings. Attendees will find unique handcrafted creations made in the USA, including home decor, gourmet foods and wine, original music, trendsetting jewelry, hand-poured aromatic candles, children’s toys and clothing, stylish pottery, original wall art, gifts for pets and holiday gift items galore. “This is an opportunity to make gift buying and shopping very meaningful,” said Sally Kaczynski, founder of Premier Promotions. “The selection of products at this market is comprehensive; there is truly something for everyone.” Christmas in the Country will welcome many

new artisans this year, as well as favorites from year’s past. “We find new artisans and a lot of time, they find us because this is an excellent opportunity for them,” Kaczynski said. “We want to continue to make the event fresh and new, but still keep the favorite artisans and traditions here.” Throughout the 30-year history of Christmas in the Country, giving back to the community has always been an integral part of the event. This year, participating non-profit groups will include Kathleen Mary House, Churches in Action, Hamburg Eden Animal Rescue Team (H.E.A.R.T.), Variety — The Children’s Charity of Buffalo and the Hamburg Presbyterian Church. “Helping those in need has always been who we are, both as a company and people of this community,” Kaczynski said. “Many of the artisans also donate products for auctions and raffles.” In 2013, Christmas in the Country was recognized as the No. 2 contemporary and classic artisan market in the nation by Sunshine Artist, the leading publication in the art and craft event industry. The event has ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the nation for the past 11 years. Celebrating its 30th anniversary and drawing almost 60,000 visitors over four days and featuring only handmade products made in the United States, the event is widely recognized today as the preeminent holiday artisan market in North America.

The economic impact of this event is formidable. Restaurants and hotels benefit significantly from patrons and artisans traveling to the event, while local artisans typically mark Christmas in the Country as their highest grossing event of the year. “The artisans really represent the very best of our country’s small businesses — hardworking, ingenious and determined. To see Western New York support them to this extent is very gratifying,” Kaczynski added. Christmas in the Country will run from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 6 and 7, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 8 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg. Discount tickets are available through Wednesday, Nov. 5 at select locations through Erie County. For a complete list of locations visit www.wnypremierpromotions.com. For more than 30 years, Premier Promotions has produced high quality, extremely successful artisan events including Springtime in the Country, Christmas in the Country, Christmas in the CountryErie and Yuletide in the Country. The events are consistently ranked among the Top 100 artisan shows in America by Sunshine Artist magazine. Last year, more than 90,000 visitors attended these events purchasing more than $4.5 million in high quality, handcrafted goods from juried artists and artisans. These events have also helped raise more than $1.4 million for Western New York charities.

Sarah Krieger scored the game-winner and Cara Manzella made the biggest save of her career as No. 3 Sacred Heart erased a 2-0 deficit to beat No. 2 Nichols, 4-3, in penalty kicks in their Monsignor MartinAthletic Association semifinal game that was played at Nichols StraussTruscott Field. The win vaults the Sharks into the championship game, in which they will play top seed

and defending league champion Nardin next Sunday (Nov. 3) at Niagara University. “This is a team with a lot of heart,” said SHA assistant coach Karen Lawton. “They will outwork every team that is more skilled than them.” That’s exactly what the Sharks did. Sarah Krieger scored on the Sharks’ fourth Pk to give her team the 4-2 edge as Nichols’ fourth shooter, Lindsey Hogan, DAN HICKLING stepped in needing a goal to keep the game alive. Hogan drilled Emma Elia (6) of Nichols breaks between Sacred the ball low, but Manzella’s divHeart defenders Claire Zwack (8) and ing save to her left secured the Krista Tomizzi (9) in the teams’ win, as the Sharks poured onto the field to mob their keeper. MMAA large school semifinal on Oct. 25 at Nichols. Manzella’s heroics are even more impressive when you consider she stepped into the cut short about five weeks ago and has done everything she could to be the best goalie she role of starter after No. 1 keeper because of a knee injury. “She has worked and trained can be,” said Lawton. “And Alexandra Dwyer’s season was

today it showed.” Nichols dominated play throughout the bulk of the first half and goals by Emma Elia and McCaeley O’Rourke staked the Vikings to a 2-0 lead. The Sharks, meanwhile, didn’t create as many opportunities. They simply made the most of their scoring chances as Taylor DiMarco pulled her team within a goal when she drove the ball over the reach of Nichols starting keeper Paige Kouimanis midway through the first half. DiMarco would tie the game with 8:26 to play in the half when she made a nifty move to fake out the Nichols defense. Elia’s second goal of the day put Nichols up 3-2 with 11:46 to play in regulation. Clinging to that 3-2 lead as the final minute ticked away, it

appeared as if theVikings would outlast the Sharks. But Sacred Heart showed absolutely no quit and Madison Koons poked the game-tying goal past Elena Kotrides with 34 seconds left to play to force the OT. For the Vikings, the game was a microcosm of their up-and-down season. They certainly have the talent, but they never seemed to harness that all-important consistency and the ability to put an opponent away early. As Nichols coach Larry Desautels walked off the field understandably shocked and dejected, he lamented how another one got away, at the worst of times. “It was an appropriate ending to the season,” he said. “That’s how our whole season went.”

Zaffram leads Canisius to MMAA victory over Timon By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

According to Canisius football coach Rich Robbins, Brad Zaffram is the best linebacker in New York State. “It’s not close. All you have to do is watch the film,” Robbins said. “If there’s a better linebacker around, let me know. Because he’s pretty special.” There wasn’t a better one at Tifft Field Friday night (Oct. 24). Zaffram, a highly courted Division I recruit, had two interceptions, one of which

he returned 85 yards for a score, and added a rushing touchdown to lead Canisius to a 37-8 win over Timon. In winning, the Crusaders improved to 2-0 in Monsignor Martin Association action and 8-0 overall. The Tigers, meanwhile, dropped to 3-1 in the league and 6-2 overall. Zaffram has been a focal point on defense for a Canisius team that has allowed just 63 points in eight games this season. In addition to his two interceptions, he finished with 16 tackles, bringing his teamleading total to 86 on the year. The senior also chipped in seven rushes for 37 yards and a score to go with a 21-yard reception. “He’s a fantastic player on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense and at linebacker,” Robbins said.

“We’ve had [NFL player] Jimmy Gaines, we’ve had some good linebackers in this program, and [Zaffram] is by far the best one we’ve ever had.” Zaffram’s skill was on display more than ever when his third-quarter pick-six deep in Canisius territory stymied a long Timon drive that could have pulled the Tigers to within one score had they reached paydirt. He jumped the route on a screen and took it to the house, giving the Crusaders a 30-8 lead. “I was sent on a blitz and I knew that they had been running that bubble,” said Zaffram, whose first interception resulted in his touchdown rush just six plays later. “I just knew it was coming and reacted.” The Crusaders got on the board early after forcing a

Timon three-and-out to open the game. On their first offensive play, Mitch Thomas took a handoff to the left side and sped 47 yards into the end zone. Zaffram’s touchdown rush pushed Canisius’ lead to 14-0 and a 32-yard field goal from UConn-bound kicker Mike Tarbutt had the team up 17-0 as time expired in the first quarter. Timon needed some trickery to best the Canisius defense and get on the board. On fourth-and-3 from the Canisius 27 early in the second quarter, Tigers QB Brandon May lateraled to running back Gavin Caulfield, who found a wide-open Derrick Simpson in the end zone. A successful 2-point try cut Timon’s deficit to 17-8, but that was as close as the Tigers would get. Canisius QB Jake Loucks

was 4 for 12 for 87 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Mitch Thomas had 12 carries for 101 yards and a score, Solomon Renfro had a touchdown rush and Dave Thomas had three receptions for 66 yards and a TD. Defensively, Josh Huffman had an interception. Nick Iacono picked up a sack and Jake Chaas forced a fumble that James Thomas recovered. Timon utilized an effective screen game for much of the contest, but turnovers proved costly. May threw three interceptions — including the pick-six to Zaffram on what was the 11th play of a drive that had reached the Canisius 17 — and the Tigers lost a fumble. “If you make mistakes like that against a great team, this is going to happen,” said Timon

coach Charlie Comerford, whose team’s only losses have come at the hands of the nationally ranked Crusaders and Section V power Aquinas. “They are who everyone in Western New York knows they are. They’re the best team around and they’re the best team in the state.” Canisius is aiming to cap off its second undefeated regular season in three years when it takes on St. Francis at 1 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Stransky Complex. Zaffram said it wouldn’t take long for he and his teammates to be back to work. “We get the weekend off, but the film will be up tonight and we’ll still be watching it already,” he said. “In the preseason, [St. Francis] said they wanted us. Well, they’re going to get us.”

Goalkeeper Galbo gives Nardin soccer her best despite injury By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

Clare Galbo just remembers her knee giving out, then hitting the ground in agony. For Galbo, the only thing worse than the searing pain in her knee was the sinking feeling in her heart because she felt she had let her team down. Instead of an asset as Nardin’s starting goalie, Galbo felt she had become a distraction. “That’s the worst part for me emotionally,” said Galbo. “I just remember that game, after I injured myself, a goal was scored almost right away. Everybody got distracted. I’ve had a lot of support from my team.

They’re so supportive, they were crying too. I was balling. They were balling.” Galbo, a senior, saw her fourth season of varsity on the Nardin soccer team come to an abrupt and heartbreaking end when she suffered a devastating knee injury during the Gators’ Sept. 10 home game against Nichols. “It was tough for me because I was finally really comfortable playing the position,” she said. “I was in a spot where my technique was good and I didn’t worry about that. I was just in more of a position where I could direct play. Help the players be confident in our defense and facilitate things better in the back.” What made the injury even more maddening for Galbo was that it did not come a result of a collision with another player or while

making a save. She was just trotting after a ball with no one around her. “I knew it was something bad,” Galbo said, as she reflected back to that day. “I was just running after a ball that went out for a goal kick. I’m not really sure what happened, it happened so fast. I was just running and I don’t know. I pulled up and I just stepped on it. I heard it pop and I felt it, and I knew it was something bad right away.” Galbo had torn her MCL, her ACL and her hamstring became detached. On the mend from her surgery that took place the first week of October, Galbo has been on crutches watching from the sidelines ever since the injury. A very analytical and well-spoken young lady, Galbo explained that even though she couldn’t be on

DAN HICKLING

Clare Galbo. the fi eld there were still other ways she could help her team. Even if it’s as simple as directing traffic from the sidelines. “I came to every game. I didn’t miss a game,” Galbo said with a smile. “Even after my surgery I made sure I was there that week. I’m definitely vocal because that’s something in goal that’s part of my

job and I can’t shut it off... That’s the one thing I can still provide.” Galbo gave her goalie pants and jersey to her replacement keeper, Emma Stephenson, and has been there every step of the way helping Stephenson fill the role of starting goalie. Gators coach Frank Cotroneo said Galbo still brings a very strong presence of leadership to the field and has not allowed her misfortune to be a distraction. “No, never,” said Cotroneo. “And that was the big loss, her personality. Besides how hard she has worked to get up to the level where she was at. We had worked hard for a couple of years to hone the skills. She just really came on and started becoming someone you didn’t have to worry about.”

Galbo said it’s her way to give back to the team and the Nardin soccer family, which supported her when she felt like everything was unraveling before her eyes. “It really is a family. The parents. The players, the coaches,” said Galbo. “Just hugs, I just remember everybody asking, ‘do you need anything?’ Talking to me, discussing it. People who have had similar experiences coming up to me telling me how they went through it.” Far from the way she planned on wrapping up her scholastic career, Clare Galbo can still smile because she knows she isn’t alone. “It is tough but they’re my best friends,” Galbo said. “I’ve been with these girls since freshman year. So they’re the best ones who keep supporting me.”

Pfeifer lends hand in bringing swim back to Buff Sem By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

Buffalo Seminary senior Alexandra Pfeifer wanted to swim in high school. Plain and simple. One problem, though: Buffalo Sem didn’t have a swim program. But Pfeifer didn’t whine about it. She took action. And now, after a three year hiatus, the Red-Tailed Hawks are back in the pool. “When I was a freshman,

originally we were supposed to have a swim team,” Pfeifer said during a recent practice at Ben Franklin Middle School. “But there wasn’t enough interest, so it got cut. So the four years that I’ve been at Sem I’ve been checking with Eva (Cunningham), our athletic director, and saying it would be really great if we could get a swim team together.” Supportive of the idea to bring the program back, Cunningham’s answer to Pfeifer was to the point: ‘If you can find enough girls, we’ll see what we can do.’ “Yeah, it was really hard to find a lot of girls,” Pfeifer said as she explained the process of the team’s rebirth.

“The reason we have it this year was because there were so many new girls coming into the school. So we were finally able to have enough interest to make a team.” Pfeifer hit the hallways trying to recruit girls. With Sem being a small school and most girls having their fall sports selected, it would be hard to draw in the needed numbers. Pfeifer also knew that after the program had lied dormant for so long, it would be hard to sell girls on the idea of winning. So Pfeifer, who lives in Williamsville, went the upbeat route of telling girls how much they would enjoy the experience of being on a team and trying something new.

Girls came out and have all picked up on Pfeifer’s infectious love of the water. “I love it,” Pfeifer said with a beaming smile. “It’s so great. I loved swimming when I did it when I was younger and I’m so glad that I finally go to do it in high school. Even if it’s only for a year, I’m just glad we got to do this together. Coach Glenna Leous said for Pfeifer to take the initiative to get the team back instead of waiting for somebody else to do it shows what a special young lady she is. “She’s a quiet, steady believer in herself and what she does,” said Leous. “She’s a quiet, steady believer and she just wanted it. The seniors on the

team are very good friends of hers and the young girls look to her as a natural leader. If she could stay another year, we’d get even more kids.” Comprised of two other seniors, one junior and eight sophomores, the Buff Sem swim team competes in the Monsignor Martin Athletic Association against Nardin, Sacred Heart and Mt. St. Mary. But organizing kids to form a team is one thing; the fact that Pfeifer was able to make her voice heard, and listened to, by the powers that be, shows how truly remarkable this young lady is. “It takes someone who is able to make the statement of what they want for the adults involved and make it sound like she really

is sincere and means it,” said Leous. “She must have had that happen. Somewhere, someone must have heard that. That these kids mean it and they want it.” Wanting to swim her entire high school career, Alexandra Pfeifer knows that when the team gathers for it’s final night together, a mere ‘thank you’will not be enough to the girls who came out for the team. Pfeifer said that while it may have been her who set the wheels in motion to revive the team, it was the other girls who gave her a lasting gift of a chance to swim in high school. When that moment comes, Pfeifer knows it will be hard not to cry for joy. “Yeah,” Pfeifer said with a laugh. “It really will be.”

Bengals lose to Utica, need win this week to regain first By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER

The Buffalo State football team’s NCAA Tournament aspirations took a major hit Saturday (Oct. 25) with a home loss to Utica. Off to their best start since 1999 and sitting atop the Empire 8 standings for the first time, the Bengals turned the ball over three times in the 31-21 loss. Buffalo State (5-2, 3-2) now visits nationallyranked St. John Fisher needing a win to regain first place in the Empire 8

standings. The conference champion automatically qualifies for the NCAA Tournament. Another loss would also likely take the Bengals out of consideration for an at-large berth. Mike Doherty (Kenmore East) led the Buffalo State offense with five catches for 165 yards and a 40-yard touchdown that gave the Bengals an early 7-0 lead. Utica went up 24-7 by halftime before John Alessandra (Kenmore East) recovered a fumble that led to a Rich Pete touchdown, bringing the Bengals within 10 points.

The Bengals turned the ball over three times in their loss to Utica last Saturday (Oct. 25).

Buffalo State women’s hockey names captains Buffalo State second-year women’s hockey coach Candice Moxley has announced Kara Goodwin (Avon Lake, OH/Avon Lake) will serve as the team captain, and Jeyna Minnick (Rochester/GreeceArcadia) and Nikki Kirchberger (Buffalo/W. Seneca West) will serve as assistants for the 201415 season. Goodwin, a senior public communication major, will wear the “C” for the second-consecutive season. The forward enters her third and final season with the Bengals after transferring from Division I Lin-

denwood University. Goodwin has 33 career points including 22 goals in 51 games at Buffalo State, and had a breakout season a year ago. In 26 games last season, Goodwin netted 16 goals, including a school record 14 in ECAC West play. Minnick, a senior forward majoring in English, will serve as an assistant for the secondstraight year. She is the only player on this year’s roster in her fourth season with the team, and has tallied 16 goals and 13 assists for 29 points in 74 career games. Kirchberger will serve in

a leadership role for the first time. The junior criminal justice major has split time on forward and defense over her first two seasons, and has put up 17 goals and 13 assists for 30 points in 51 career games. Buffalo State made its first trip to the ECAC West playoffs in six years last season and has added 12 new faces to this year’s 20-player roster. The Bengals will open their 2014-15 campaign this weekend at the Plymouth State Tournament, playing the host Panthers on Friday and Nichols College on Saturday.

Quarterback Kyle Hoppy (Orchard Park) fumbled on Buffalo State’s next possession, however, and Utica would take advantage of the opportunity to push its lead up to 31-14. Dan Serignese relieved Hoppy at quarterback in the fourth quarter and connected with Doherty on a 50-yard gain before finding Ryan Carney (Olean) for an 8-yard touchdown pass that brought the Bengals within 31-21 with 7:16 remaining. But Buffalo State couldn’t get any closer, and in the process, gave up pole position in the

Empire 8 title race. St. John Fisher, coached by Lockport native Paul Vosburgh, is coming off a 61-0 win over Alfred State. James Chambers (Lockport) scored his third touchdown of the season in the win, and Sammy Hasan (Williamsville South) recovered a fumble in the end zone for a score. The Cardinals are ranked 15th in the latest D3football.com poll. Buffalo State is no longer receiving any votes after getting top 25 consideration the past two weeks.

Women’s soccer draws Oneonta

Megan Chapple (Utica,NY/ Whitesboro) scored for Buffalo State (7-7-3, 4-4-1 SUNYAC) in a 1-1 draw against Oneonta (6-8-3, 4-3-2) to close out regular season conference play on Saturday afternoon at Coyer Field. Buffalo State came out of the gate aggressive, controlling the majority of the first half. The Bengals made use of their first corner kick of the game as Chapple scored in just the third minute off a great pass from Meghan Allen (Big Flats, NY/Corning East) that was headed by Victoria Colotti (New Windsor, NY/Newburgh Free Academy) and found the foot of Chapple right in front of the net. In the second half, Oneonta

was awarded a penalty kick but goalkeeper Nicole Torres (Wantagh,NY/MacArthur) made a tremendous diving save to keep the Red Dragons off the board. In the 76th minute of play, Oneonta’s Taylor Messinna tied the game. The Bengals nearly scored six minutes into the first overtime when Breanna Kinight (Valley Stream, NY/Valley Stream South) took a corner kick that found Colotti, but Rachel Berk made an outstanding defensive save to keep things tied. In the final overtime, Buffalo State outshot the Red Dragons 4-0. The Bengals almost scored a last-minute goal to capture the win on a penalty

kick by Gina Taggart (Chester, NY/Monroe-Woodbury), but Oneonta’s goalkeeper came up with the save. Both teams finished with 11 total shots and six shots on goal, while the Bengals finished with a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks. Torres recorded five saves in the tie. Buffalo State closes out the 2014 regular season at home on Wednesday afternoon with a 3 p.m. game against St. John Fisher. Results weren’t available at press time. The Bengals finish the SUNYAC regular season as the No. 6 seed and will play at No. 3 Fredonia in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 1 p.m.

Buttino extends his gratitude to Keep warm, keep safe hometown 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 coexecutive 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 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.

(NAPSI)—As autumn approaches, many people are looking forward to a break from the summer heat. However, soon that relief may turn chilly and your reliance on heating equipment will increase. The Electrical Safety Foundation International wants you to be aware of the risks associated with heating equipment and follow a few simple steps to help reduce your risk of a home fire. According to a report by the National Fire Protection Association, heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths, responsible for an estimated 490 in 2010. The leading factors contributing to ignition in home heating equipment fires were failure to clean the device, the heat source being too close to combustibles, and a mechanical failure or malfunction of the equipment. With proper installation, use and maintenance, you can reduce your risk of property loss, injury or death resulting from the use of heating equipment. With the increased use of heating equipment, carbon monoxide incidents are also more frequent in colder months. Gas-fueled heating devices were the primary heating source responsible for nonfire carbon mon-

oxide poisonings. Carbon monoxide is odorless, invisible and potentially deadly. Be sure to continue testing your carbon monoxide alarms and smoke alarms each month to help keep yourself and your loved ones safe. More Safe Heating Behaviors • All heaters need space. Keep things that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment. • Make sure you use only equipment that displays a label indicating it has undergone independent testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Intertek (ETL), or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). • Have a qualified professional install heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions. • Make sure all fuel-burning equipment is vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Also, be sure to remove snow or fallen leaves around the outlet to the outside to ensure proper venting of exhaust. • Have your heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional.

The event will offer a wide variety of topics and workshops of interest to families, homeschoolers and educators who value rich learning experiences. Distinguished speakers will include progressive educators from New York, Washington, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Vermont. “The best learning is not found at a desk endlessly preparing for tests. Learning happens through engagement within one’s environment and with the people occupying it,” said Megan Mills Hoffman, one of LCN’s key organizers. “Our programs develop the kind of leaders who are engaged in their community and are able to put their ideas into action from a very young age.” The event will highlight cultural organizations, independent schools, study programs, colleges and universities that offer dynamic learning opportunities for students of all ages. Topics will include

how to develop one’s personal learning plan and objectives; how to develop a competitive portfolio for college admissions and employment; the creative economy and how it affects the relevance of school, testing, college success and gainful employment; technological tools available for learners and their families; the importance of creative inquiry in developing critical thinkers, problem solvers, innovators, small business owners and entrepreneurs; and the history of education reform and social movements in the WNY region. Participants can register for LCN Annual Gathering at http://learningchoicesnetworkbuffalo. brownpapertickets.com. LCN’s programs are open to the public. “What strengthens learners is choice. We develop self-reliance, responsibility and competence when we do the thinking about our own learning. As an educator for 40 years, I have dreamed of the possibilities that the Learning Choices Network offers,” said Dr. John E. Newton, director of Mandala School, East Aurora. “This program is designed for parents who

may be questioning the mainstream educational program that their children are currently enrolled in, and provide direction for those interested in creating a more personalized learning path,” Mills Hoffman added. “Issues such as Common Core, standardized testing and classroom overcrowding are a concern for parents in every school district across the country. Our goal is to provide those parents with alternative solutions and creative options.” The cost of this unique educational workshop is just $20 per day or $50 for a three-day pass. Daily themes include Family Day on Nov. 8, Thinkers Day on Nov. 9 and Educators Day on Nov. 10.

They say adversity makes you stronger and CASPER has had a lot of adversity to deal with out on the street. He came running up to one of our volunteers when we were doing TNVR in Buffalo. It was like he was saying ‘take me, take me...’ and we did! He is mildly positive for FIV, is a real lover and has green eyes as big as his gentle heart... please consider adding him to your home. He is good with other kitties. CASPER qualifies for our “Special Kitties for Special People” adoption promotion. If you would like more information, call Second Chance Sheltering Network at 652-6051.
