Holy Family Senior Center is home and more By Catherine Miller COURIER CORRESPONDENT

Ann McMahon felt right at home when she stepped in to the Holy Family Senior Apartments when it first opened at the corner of S Park and Tifft three years ago. And why shouldn’t she? “I went to grade school in this building,” reminisced McMahon, about the building that was once the Holy Family Catholic School, “I was married to my husband Thomas in the church next door and I raised nine children with him just a few blocks away.” So when the time came to find a senior living place that would allow her to maintain her active lifestyle and enjoy the social interaction she was accustomed to, the Holy Family Apartments seemed perfect. The wide halls and warm ambiance with its well-known layout, amidst a familiar neighborhood and

conversion of the building to a senior living center, the halls of the structure were renovated with a bit of the “grade school” feel to its décor, using the classroom chalkboards intermittently throughout the halls as message boards and displaying art work from years past to capture the school-like feel. Walking outside her apartment door shortly after moving in Ann McMahon looked up and saw a familiar name signed to the bottom of a painting that was completed over 60 years earlier. “James Hinman, Grade 7” had completed a depiction of Jesus with his mother, Mary. The young artist, James Hinman, was Ann McMahon [front] is joined by friends Sharon Godwin, Yvonne Ann’s youngest brother had passed away years Kelso, and Annette Byrnes [left to right] for a Buffalo Bills game at the who earlier.

Learn to snowshoe this winter

ByDebra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

There's no denying it – this winter has been a brutal one. There's one simple thing that might make getting out to shovel the driveway or hike to the mailbox a little bit easier, though, and it's something we tend not to think about a lot here – snowshoes. Today's snowshoes aren't like the ones you're probably

thinking of, the ones that are made of wood and even look like they'd be difficult to walk in. Many modern brands are incredibly lightweight, made of aluminum and plastic, and the educational center at Reinstein Woods rents them out so you can give them a go first before picking up your own pair. “Modern snowshoes like the ones we rent at Reinstein Woods are extremely easy to use,” says Meaghan Boice-

Green, center director of Reinstein Woods. “You simply strap the snowshoes on over your boots and walk normally. The only advice we give people is not to try to walk backwards.” There are a number of snowshoe walks coming up at Reinstein Woods, and they won't just be giving visitors the chance to walk through the woods on snowshoes, they'll be teaching everyone a little something while you're

at it. At 10:30 a.m. on Monday, December 22, they'll be hosting a Family Snowshoe Walk suitable for all ages. At 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, December 30, guides will be taking visitors on a Winter Wildlife Snowshoe Walk around the preserve, pointing out the signs left behind by Western New York's winter wildlife. And at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 3, they'll be holding a Snowshoeing 101

class where guides will be giving visitors the basics on snowshoes before setting off on a guided walk. For those that don't have their own snowshoes, snowshoe rental is $5 per person and $2 per person for the Friends of Reinstein Woods. The programs – and the snowshoes – are appropriate not only for adults but for kids as well. In fact, it's teaching the kids how to snowshoe and showing them how much

gym floor of the school in the mid 1950’s by a select group of artistic young students. The paintings were found during the renovation and it was decided that they would be used to decorate a few hallways – with the painting of a 12 yr. old James Hinman making its way strangely just a feet away from the outer door of his older sister’s new home over six decades later. Now with her brother’s painting always in view, Ann McMahon has called the Holy Family Senior Apartments her home for over three years and according to her “if they want me out they are going to have to throw me out.” There is no place she would rather be. “We all get along and we are here for each other,” stated McMahon’s friends

“See Holy Family, Page 2”

fun just hiking through the woods can be that's one of their favorite parts of the job over at the preserve. “The best part of teaching kids to snowshoe is watching them explore the woods at a different time of year,” says Boice-Green. “The snowshoes enable them to go farther along the trail system without getting tired Those interested in attending classes should register in advance by calling 683-5959.

Holy Family hosts variety of activities Holy Family • from page 1 and fellow residents Annette Byrne and Yvonne Kelso, “You can always rely on someone helping you out if you need it.” During the recent snowstorm the residents went door to door asking what others needed and sharing supplies. Dinners were cooked by the women each evening, with everyone contributing and resulting in a buffet meal being served in the community room to the entire apartment complex each night of the storm. The nearly 40 residents at the facility range in age from 55 to mid-90s and they functioned without issue during a storm that had people half their age in a bind. More normal weeks at the Holy Family Senior

Apartments are met with Sunday football games in the community room attended by the sports lovers of the complex; Tuesday lunch and bingo days at the Valley Community Center where Ann McMahon worked as the senior coordinator for over twenty years and still enjoys her weekly visits; and parties for just about any holiday or occasion that they deem worthy to celebrate. The Holy Family Senior Apartment building also houses a Catholic Charities Food Pantry open to low income families in the community which is manned by some of the residents at the apartments. Open Mon and Thur from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm donations of nonperishable food and warm clothing such as coats, boots, hats and glove are gratefully accepted during open hours. Visit them at the corner of S Park and Tifft for further information. Ann McMahon and the other residents are active members of our community who have found that South Buffalo is not only a great area to live and work while raising a family, but it’s also the ideal place to relax in your senior years surrounded by friends, family and warm memories.

ECC makes it six straight at national Mastercam 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.

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 experience 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 stateof-the-art training labs and advanced equipment for students eager to enter the area’s expanding industry.

The Buffalo Zoo announced on Dec. 15, the name of a baby giraffe who was born in October. His name is Sampson. Sampson was born on Friday, Oct. 24, to mother, 5-year-old A.J, and father, 3-year-old Moke. Both are first time parents. The day was a special one for giraffe keeper, Vicki Hodge. Oct. 24 is her grandparents’ wedding anniversary, and also the anniversary of the death of her grandfather, whose middle name was Sampson. She named the baby in memory of him. The name announcement coincides with a series of billboards that were unveiled around the Buffalo area the same day, revealing Sampson’s name to the community. Community Papers of WNY, LLC and LAMAR Outdoor Advertising provided the billboards, “A New Baby, A New Year”. CPOWNY will roll out a year of family-friendly activities and promotions on and off Zoo grounds throughout 2015. These efforts serve not only to welcome the giraffe and promote the Zoo as an institution of family recreation, but also to highlight conservation efforts and

The Julia Boyer Reinstein Library will be hosting an all-ages event for all fans of Harry Potter this January. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 10, representatives from Hawk Creek Wildlife Center will be visiting the library with a few very special guests – three snowy owls. Fans of Harry Potter will recognize the owls as the same type as Hedwig – in fact, one of Hawk Creek's resident snowy owls is named Hedwig after her famous literary counterpart. Their Hedwig came to them through a breeding program based in upstate New York, and she's especially outfitted for Buffalo's cold winter weather. Snowy owls are one of the largest of the North American owls, and are native to the northernmost reaches of the continent. They're also

unique because they're most active during the day, and within their native range they can often be see out and about, chasing small prey – especially lemmings, and they can catch and eat up to five a day. The species as a whole is firmly tied to the lemming population, and a high lemming population often means an increase in snowy owl population. They can be extremely long-lived, with captive owls on record for living up to 28 years. Hedwig has been a resident at Hawk Creek since 2001, and like others of her species, she's well adapted to living in the cold climates of the Arctic – and Western New York. The program will give attendees an up close and personal experience with seeing the owls, and representatives from Hawk Creek will be sharing information about the folklore and legends associated with these majestic birds – the perfect

way to kick off the new year for any Harry Potter fan. “I am a huge, huge Harry Potter fan, and I can't wait to see a snowy owl just like Hedwig from the books!” says the library's Jennifer Villa. “I have read and own all the books in the series, and I've seen all the movies, and anything that can make this amazing story more 3-D is always exciting!” That's what the library is all about – reaching out to the community and bringing the words on the pages to life. When they can do that with an organization like Hawk Creek, that's all the better. “Hawk Creek is an amazing organization that offers a variety of outreach programs,” says Villa. “We love being able to book them for the library.” Registration for the event is required, and begins on Saturday, Dec. 20. To register, stop by the library or call 668-4991.

Niagara Falls will be Dancing with the Stars By Lauren Kirchmyer ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER

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, Mark Balls and Keo Motsepe. Rehearsals began only a few days after the season finale in November, and the show will visit cities throughout the United States and Canada through Feb. 15, 2015. “The tour bus thing will be a lot of fun. 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 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, 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.

Local insurance agency branches out ByDebra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

For most people, insurance is a necessary evil. It's something that you buy and never think about again, until you have to pay for it. But for Mike Shady, it's way more than that. For Shady, insurance is a way for him to help people sleep at night. His entire life, he's had a drive to help people, and he's found a way to do just that by helping them protect the fruits of their lifelong labors, to make sure that in case there's an emergency or an accident, they're protected. “My job is to make sure people are protected, and I promise everyone I work with the highest standards,” Shady says. “We align your protection with what you have in life and what matters most to you.” Shady recently came to the Lelonek Agency, and while long-time customers might know the hometown agency as mainly dealing

with personal properties and insurances, Shady is bringing with him more than 20 new insurance providers that he's licensed to work with as well as the capability to review and insure anything from home to business and commercial properties, no matter how big or how small. He's making Lelonek Agency a full-service agency now, one that can handle anything that any customer could need. A Cheektowaga resident for more than 35 years, Shady has long been active in the community from organizing charity golf tournaments to working in the store down the street. His family has a long history of owning businesses throughout the area, from ice cream stores and pizzerias to convenience stores. All that has given him real-world life experience that can't be learned out of a book, and that's what allows him to connect with his customers today. Shady credits his father with instilling his values and his work ethic into

him from a young age. “He came to this country with $9 in his pocket and not speaking a word of English,” says Shady. “He worked hard, and taught me to do the same. Ever since I was 5 or 6, I would be going to the store and working alongside him. He taught me how to run a business, be a merchant, and he taught me how important my customers are.” Today, that means Shady has become the perfect person to sit down and talk to about insurance. It's more than a necessary evil, it's a way to protect everything you've worked your whole life for. It's about more than just finding the cheapest coverage, it's about finding the right coverage. And after 16 years in the business, Shady has seen it all. “I've been all over the place,” he says. “I've learned about life from the bottom up, I've learned how to build bridges and I've learned how to fall down and get up again. How my parents raised us made us the people we are

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 secondyear students to work with dentists in private practice, at hospitals and at commercial dental laboratories as they prepare to join the profession.

today, and I'm glad to be in a position where I can listen to people and help people.” Circumstances in life change, and Shady knows just how important it is to stay on top of things. A policy that might have been a good fit a year ago might be leaving some gaping holes today, and that's why it's just as important to have an agent that can review your policies, suggest what you might need, and point out the holes that might not be covered. It just takes one accident to lose everything, and it's preventing that that's become the most important thing to Shady. For him, all the long hours are worth it when he sees his 90 percent retention rate, and when he hears his customers and clients thank him for allowing them to sleep at night.

Local author publishes first book headed off on her 3-weeklong trip, part vacation, part research trip. “I had dreamed for decades of going there, and was not disappointed,” she says. “You can only do so much research on the internet, and visiting Ireland was critical. I was able to write first hand descriptions of locations, had a better feel for the country, and even changed some details based on what I found there. The front cover of Walking in the Mist is two photos taken during the trip which my friend, Beth, was able to blend together when she designed the cover.” Writing a novel is an intimidating, uniquely personal journey. For Tyrone, it was a journey that was a long time coming. But this, she says, was the story that needed to be told – it's a story of tragedy, of letting go, of rebuilding and moving on. It was one that spoke to her, and Tyrone was fortunate enough to have some pretty amazing experiences along the way. In addition to fulfilling a lifelong dream on her re-

For Sinead Tyrone, the desire and the need to write was something that started when she was 14 years old. “When I was 14, I read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton,” she says. “That book, more than any other, gave me the desire to write. I wanted to move others the way she moved me. I've had the desire to write for a very long time, but only in the last few years was I brave enough to pursue it.” Walking Through the Mist is her first novel, and in it she tells the story of Aidan O'Connell, an Irish musician on an American tour with his band. When tragedy strikes back home, he must not only return to his homeland but learn to rebuild his life. Tyrone has an ancestral connection with Ireland, and in 2012, she was fortunate enough to be able to visit the setting of her novel. The book that would become Walking in the Mist had already been started when she

search trip, she also says that the act of writing itself was an amazing experience. “One of the biggest, most pleasant surprises was how much the characters became alive to me over the course of writing. I had heard other writers talk about this, but experiencing it first-hand was very exciting,” she says. “There's one point in the book where the main character, Aidan, reaches a particular decision. Aidan and I debated for a month in that decision, going back and forth over which choice would work best for him. I hadn't anticipated him being so vocal about the choice at hand!” Writing and releasing a novel is on the bucket list for a lot of people, and for Tyrone, she had grown tired of holding onto the dream but not doing anything about it. There's a lot of fear that goes along with writing a novel – there's the fear of failure, rejections, the fear that no one will like it or that people will hate it. But she was fortunate enough to be able to let go of that fear, and she says, it's been an ab-

Local sports Hopkins steps out of shadows as go-to player

By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

Taliyah Hopkins lurked in the shadows during the first three years of her varsity basketball career and that suited the soft-spoken Cheektowaga Central High School player just fine. But things are different this season. The standouts ahead of her have all graduated and with a young nucleus with her this season, it’s Hopkins turn to step up as the team’s go-to weapon. And in the early going, she’s proven she’s more than ready to take on that

challenge. “I’m looking to provide more leadership,” Hopkins said after a non-league win over Lancaster. “I have to stop playing around. I’m very goofy at times, I like having fun, but we need to be serious at the right time.” And thus far, Hopkins has been up to the task for Central. She averaged 19 points per game In Cheektowaga’s first four games, She also had a team-best 10 blocks and ranked second in rebounds with 48. First-year coach Justin Garbasz has been looking for his Lady Warriors to take on a team approach – and that’s exactly what they have done. But if they need a go-to gal, Garbasz knows he can get that dominant performance from Hopkins. “She can be that superstar player, if we need it,” Garbasz said before an early

December practice. “But she’s a good distributor and gets everybody involved. She’s not a ball hog that’s going to try to go for 30 every night, she’s going to do what it takes to win. And we want to get everyone involved. But she’s definitely a great player for us.” A fourth-year varsity player, Hopkins was third on the team in scoring in both her sophomore and junior seasons. She ranked fourth in scoring as a freshman starter at the varsity level. And as a senior, that immense experience will be vital to the young Warriors, who are counting on standout eighth and ninth graders. Cheektowaga has seen a lot of team success in Hopkins’ career, most notably her sophomore season when the Warriors reached the sectional championship

game as a No. 6 seed and came within a buzzer-beating shot of winning it all. “ Ta l i y a h h a s b e e n through the battles with us, been through the playoffs,” Garbasz said. “She knows what’s expected and hopefully we can get more leadership out of her this year. “ The players that topped Hopkins in scoring over those last three seasons have all graduated. But as far as the new go-to player is concerned, the expectations have remained. And she expects the Warrriors’ winning tradition to continue. “If we we play as a team, we’re going to go pretty far this season,” Hopkins said. “We have a lot of good young players and we just need to work well together and we’ll have a real good season.”

Tailyah Hopkins averaged 19 points per game through Cheektowaga’s first four contests.

Cleve Hill swimmers expect winning ways to continue

By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

Come postseason, Cleveland Hill High school’s boys swimming and diving team is always a factor — and this year, the Eagles expect that strong tradition to continue. With a lot of young talent, Cleveland Hill is hard at work looking to improve and when crunch time arrives, the Eagles

are hoping to do some damage when it matters the most. Cleveland Hill has already shown glimpses early on and the goals are high as usual in the pool for the Eagles again. “We’re cautiously optimistic,” Eagles coach Doug Newman said. “I think we have the capability of doing good things in the postseason as far as ECICs and the class tournament. But for now it’s a work in progress to get them all on board with that.” And so far, so good for the Eagles. Cleveland Hill has used its versatility to win some early-season dual meets — and the success promises to grow as the youngsters gain experience.

“We’ve been surprising everyone I think,” senior tricaptain Kyle Godziak said “We have the ability to change everybody around helps. Everybody can swim a lot of different events.” Godziak — a distance swimmer who is also competing in the sprints for the Eagles this year — is one of three captains along with fellow seniors Bryce Bielanin and Aiden Slavinski. With a lot of young talent, the leadership of that group will be invaluable for Cleve Hill this season. “All the seniors are doing a fantastic job of pulling their weight and trying to get the younger kids going and following their lead,” Newman

said. Those guys headline an eight-man senior class for a Cleve Hill squad that also includes three juniors, three sophomores, three freshman, six ninth-graders and four seventh-graders. At home duals. Cleveland Hill rotates varsity and junior varsity events when possible so everyone will get a chance to shine. Bielanin, who holds the school record in the 100 backstroke, will be key to the Eagles lineup in the backstroke as well as the 200 intermediate medley, an event in which he holds the program’s sophomore and eighth-grade records.

Senior Josue Vasquez is a standout in the intermediate medley events, while Godziak in a standout in the distance and sprint events. Slavinski and Ben Sullivan are also seniors contributing in a number of events. Junior Zach Jones is also a standout in the 200- and 500-meter races. He made a statement before the season even started, besting the program’s record in the 500 in a club meet about two weeks before the season got underway. Junior diver Mike Godziak also owns some records and as a junior, he seems poised to improve on all of that. Classmate Mike Steiner has also performed well from the

diving board. Other juniors Max Krajewski has been swimming well in the butterfly and sprint freestyle events and Tommy D’Amaro has also helped Cleveland Hill in a number of events. Freshmen Jimmy Papura and Brett Kochanski are also looking strong for the Eagles, who expect a lot of success from their young stars for years to come. And this year’s Eagles have hopes set high — both on a team and individual level. “I’m hoping for division champs,” Bielanin said. “We have a lot of young swimmers but they’re capable of succeeding. We have a very good team.”

Local sports JFK standout Smith ready to be Bears’ centerpiece By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

For years, Jaclyn Smith has been a go-to player at John F. Kennedy in a variety of roles. So as expected, in her final basketball season, much of what the Lady Bears do will revolve around Smith. The standout guard is the unquestioned leader on the hardwood and she’s hoping to lead the young Bears into contention. “She’s a great leader and that’s what I’m going to let

her do,” JFK coach Steve Sokolski said. “I’m going to let her take over, I’m going to let her take charge and do what she does.” Smith averaged 15 points in JFK’s first two games, leading the team again. It’s her third year on the varsity level and she expects it to be a pretty good one. “I think we’ll be OK,” Smith said after a seasonopening loss to Buffalo Seminary. “We’re a young team but we’re getting better. Everyone’s working hard and I think we can be good.” Smith is usually in the center of things — she is a setter in volleyball and a pitcher and shortstop in softball. So it makes sense that she’ll be the centerpiece of

JEFFREY T. BARNES

Jaclyn Smith will play a lot of point guard for JFK.

the basketball team’s attack as well. “I have to let her do even more,” Sokolski said. “We’ll probably see her at point guard a lot. She’s a great player and she does a great job for us.” Smith doesn’t care where she plays on the court — she’s glad to help any place she can. The senior is certain to see as many minutes as possible and she’s ready to do what she has to do. “I’m just looking to make more shots and lead the team the best I can,” Smith said. “Whatever it takes, I just want to get some wins.” Smith is one of five seniors on the JFK roster - joining fellow guards Kylie Urbanczyk, Elizabeth Vohwinkel,

Rebecca Wesolowski and Emily Frajdofer. Those girls will graduate with a combined 11 years of varsity experience in basketball. “This is our third year together for some of us,” Smith said. “We want to go out strong.” The Bears won five games last year, the most exciting coming on Jan. 16 when Smith’s last-second shot was the difference in a 4139 win over ECIC IV rival Lackawanna. Kennedy is looking to improve on that this season. “We’re getting better and better every day,” Smith said. “I want to see us win a playoff game this season — at least one. I think we can do it.”

NCAAA football, cheerleading hold end-of-year banquet

When “Snowvember” hit Western NewYork a few weeks ago, the North Cheektowaga Amateur Athletic Association Football and Cheerleading team’s had to postpone their end-of- the-year banquet. On Friday, Dec. 12, they were able to celebrate their successful seasons at the Millennium Hotel in Cheektowaga. The night kicked off with the Pee Wee Red Raiders Cheer squad. Some girls were recognized for their individual success, including Morgan Gerlach for Most Improved. Chyanne Soto and Jayla Mercurio received awards for their exemplary teamwork displayed throughout the season. Brynn McCollister and Carina Jo Flanagan rounded off the Red Raiders awards by receiving the teams’ Most Spirit Award honor. Next up saw the Red Raider Football team. No individual

awards were given out. However, head coach Lloyd Gray mentioned how young the team was this season and how much it had improved week to week. Gray also noted that the majority of the players on the team were staying as they will still meet the age requirement along with wishing those players moving up to the Spartans good luck. Francesca “Frankie” Morris received the loudest cheer of the night as the lone female in the organization and was elected as one of the captains of the Red Raiders. The Freshman Spartan Cheerleaders were next as Ella Campbell and Isabella Flick each received an Awesome Effort Award for their hard work seen in practices, games, and competitions. The Spirit Award was given to Audryana Hall and Kristiana Burkhart for their enthusiasm shown throughout the season.

The Most Improved Award went to Sarah Filighera. The Spartan Football team went next as they celebrated their second championship appearance in three years. Most Improved Spartan went to Jemery Clark in his first year playing football. The Pancake Award given to the highest performing Offensive Lineman went to first-year player Justus Hill. The Trench Trophy Award went to Keyshawn Mack for his outstanding performances on the defensive line all season. A Coach’s Award was given to Billy Morris for his ability to play where ever the coaches needed him without hesitation.

Valuable Player went to Dalton Harper for his ability to play anywhere on the field at such a high level. The Spartans also introduced the Spartan Family of the Year Award given to the Smith Family (mom and dad of Andrew Smith – a two-year Spartan) for their dedication to the organization. The JV Titan Cheerleading team presented next as Alexis Walenka was awarded the Most Dedicated trophy. Eris Luce was voted as Best Team Player, as she constantly put the team before herself. Joy Rindfleisch and Ashlee Gray were given the Spirit Awards for their enthusiasm in competitions as well as throughout the season. The JV Titan football squad started off by giving Lebrun Northington the Special Team Standout Award for his speed he showed on returning punts and kickoffs. Most Improved

on Offense went to Carson Harper and Most Improved on Offense was awarded to Jason Corchado. The Trench Trophy Awards were given next to Kevin Jobity on the defensive side of the ball and Paul Donahue on the offensive side. Defensive Player of the Year was given to Cameron Chandler while Deondre Rice was awarded the Offensive Player of the Year. Team Most Valuable Player was awarded to Justus Williams, who accounted for 26 total touchdowns on the season. The Crusader Varsity Cheerleading team went next as Alyssa Szaras and Brianna Wolff were awarded the Most Spirited trophy and Skylar Doran took home the Most Improved honor. The head coach Holly Haffa was quoted, “I can’t wait to come back next season,” as her girls showed immense improve-

ment throughout the season and return much of their squad from this year. The champion Crusader football team capped off the night as Jacob Bell started off the awards with the Most Improved trophy. Offensive and Defensive Trench Trophy Awards went to Caleb Graves and Anthony Morris, respectively. Most Outstanding Skill Player on Offense went to running back CJ Ozolins, JaVaughn Williams took home Most Outstanding Linebacker/ Tackler. Offensive MVP was awarded to Quarterback Dylan Casey and Defensive MVP went to defensive back Bobby Lozada. Overall Crusader MVP was awarded to Kaizer Acosta and Valdez Williams took home the coveted Crusader Award, which is awarded to the player who shows dedication and hard work throughout the season.

Local sports Cheektowaga’s softball central is focused on all softball, all the time

Softball Central is located at 3223 Broadway St. By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

Even during down times in life, Kevin Hufford always had softball in his life. Back on his feet now, the Cheektowaga resident is looking to make the sport an even bigger part of his daily routine. Hufford and his wife, Melissa, launched Softball Central, located at 3223 Broadway St. in Cheektowaga, last week. The indoor facility is focused strictly on softball. Softball has kept us going for an awful long time,” Kevin Hufford said. “We’re always been doing softball anyway. They say if you do what you love, you never have to go to work. I hope to come here every day.” Hufford has always been involved in softball. He started coaching at Cheektowaga Southside softball in 2001 and combined with his wife as well as Beth O’Brien to rebuild the Cheektowaga Crabapple travel team.

He’s also been an assistant coach at Medaille College, Hutch-Tech High School and currently Erie County Community College. But his life changed on Aug. 28, 2009 when he was seriously injured after being hit by a truck while paving city streets. Unable to work and battling multiple back surgeries, Hufford also had time to dream. “The thought of being able to possibly open this thing up while we were coaching all these kids kind of kept us going,” said Hufford, who obtained a business degree after the accident. “Now we’re going to take a shot at it.” Softball Central will include two batting cages, two pitching cages and a stationary cage. There will be batting lessons, pitching lessons and a place for girls to stay sharp when the snow is falling. It’s all softball. “It’s just going to be softball,” Hufford said. “There’s plenty of places people can go and get all the baseball

Softball Central features two batting cages, two pitching cages and a stationary cage. they want inside. We’re hoping if we just focus on softball. Hopefully we can be a little less expensive and a lot more focused and it will all work out.” Hufford said he will offer some free time at the facility to JFK, Cleveland Hill, Maryvale and Cheektowaga Central. And of course St.

Mary’s of Lancaster, where his daughter Erin is a sophomore and one of the elite softball players in Western New York. A member of the Gold Coast Hurricanes out of Florida as well as the local New Era Diamond Girls, Erin has a goal of playing collegiately for the University of Tennessee.

“She’s almost more talented than we can afford her to be right now,” Kevin Hufford said with a laugh. But that’s ultimately the goal for Softball Central, to help local players grow towards big dreams. Hufford expects players from Niagara Falls to Hamburg to Clarence will be at the facil-

ity for individual lessons. Now that it’s up and running, it’s expected to grow stronger and stronger for years to come. “If it makes a dollar more than it costs, it’ll be here forever,” Hufford said. “I’ll just have to get a job. If I can make a living doing this, that would be all the better.”

Grief support groups offer help through the holidays ByDebra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

For those that are suffering through the grief of loss, getting through the holidays can seem like an insurmountable challenge. Fortunately, there's grief support groups that offer help and guidance when it comes to finding the way to deal with grief and get through those happy holiday weeks. Hope After Heartache – Tools for Living with Loss is a grief support group offered by Nancy Weil, Director of Bereavement

Support for Catholic Cemeteries. The group meets from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on the first and third Monday of every month at St. Aloysius Gonzaga, 157 Cleveland Dr. in Cheektowaga. They also meet from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the first and third Tuesday of the month at Mount Olivet Cemetery, 4000 Elmwood Ave. in Kenmore. The programs are free of charge, and open to anyone in the community. The programs run all year around, but it's during the holidays that many people find themselves needing some extra support.

HOLIDAY Worship Services

“When the rest of the world is celebrating and all you have are the memories of holidays past when you, too, were happy, it can make you feel so out of sync with yourself and everyone else,” Weil says. “The holidays are not always so happy, especially when you have lost someone you love. Lean on your faith, your family, and your friends.” Support groups like Weil's have proved a lifeline for many in the community who have been dealing with a loss – no matter what the time of year. It's more than just a place to go to get through what can be a lonely time, but it's a place where everyone there knows exactly what it is to grieve and to lose. Knowing that you're not alone, espe-

cially during the holidays, when everyone and everything around you seems happy and cheery, can be a comforting feeling. The holidays aren't the same for everyone, and there's no reason that they should be treated that way, Weil says. One of the most important things you can do is be kind to yourself, and not put expectations on yourself that can make it even more difficult. “I should put up a tree. I should send out holiday cards. I should, I should, I should.... Again and again, we think of the things we used to do and think that once again, this year, that you have to do it again. However, when you are grieving, the first thing “to do” is be kind and gentle on yourself.” There's no right or

wrong way to get through the holidays, she stresses. There needs to be an acceptance, that it's all right to feel one way or another. And surrounding yourself with friends and family that understand is crucial, but so is communication. There will be some things that you need, and some things that you just can't handle – and that's absolutely fine. Talking it through with people will go a long way to taking the pressure off social gatherings, and give you the freedom and the room to do what you need to do. “Grief is exhausting on all levels – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It lowers our immune system and raises our stress levels. Add to this the holiday season and all that comes with it, and it can be overwhelming.” There are a few simple things that Weil recommends doing in those moments when it all seems

like too much. Simply stopping to take a few deep breaths and allowing yourself to relax can help immensely. She also suggests stopping for a few minutes to list all of the things in your life that you are grateful for; so many times we focus on the bad and forget about the good, not consciously realizing how much we really do have in our lives that is truly special. And, she says, don't feel guilty in those moments of happiness. When you're surrounded by friends and family, or simply just taking a few quiet moments alone, don't feel guilty about the happiness, the joy, or the moments of calm. Remember that your loved one would want you to enjoy life, and you aren't doing anything wrong.

Hydraulic Hearth gathers steam as Larkinville ends outdoor season By Catherine Miller COURIER CORRESPONDENT

Four score, one year ago this month the lawmakers of this land repealed Prohibition – and this country celebrated. On the 81st anniversary of the Repeal of Prohibition on Dec 5 the Hydraulic Hearth, Larkinville’s newest restaurant and beer garden at 716 Swan St, held a Prohibition Repeal Day celebration to commemorate the day, complete with flapper waitresses, prohibitionera cocktails and a few fedoras. “This is the biggest crowd we have had to date,” stated owner Harry Zemsky, of the newly opened Hydraulic Hearth, “Everything is going

Owner Harry Zemsky is joined by the great wait staff at Hydraulic Hearth great so far. We have a fantastic, hard-working staff and they really make a difference.” It was only fitting and

proper that Buffalo’s largest Prohibition Repeal party took place in the heart of Larkinville. During the early-1930’s prohibition

Now this service is normally $99, but the Wizard’s got a gift for you - I’ll send someone out to check your heating system for only $19. THE WIZARD IS OFFERING THIS ONLY TO THE FIRST 150 CALLERS.

just yards from the present day Hydraulic Hearth. At the end of Prohibition the cases were ready and waiting to be distributed to area restaurants and lounges. It is said that as Prohibition was repealed by the 21st amendment, President Franklin D Roosevelt announced “What this country needs is a drink,” and the Larkin Terminal Warehouse went to work delivering their wares. The Larkin area continues to deliver. The Prohibition Repeal anniversary celebration began as a ceremonial barrel procession was led from the Live at Larkin Robot Holiday party, which closed out the season for Larkin Square, across the street to the Hydraulic Hearth, leading to a night of 1930’s style merriment. So, what’s next for the Hydraulic Hearth celebrations? “We will be holding a Seinfeld Festivus party on Published by CPOWNY

Dec 23,” stated Zemsky, “There will be a Seinfeld trivia contest followed by the Festivus party.” While you are brushing up on your Seinfeld trivia you may want to join the Hearth for their “Bagels and Booze” brunch, happening each Saturday from 11am to 3 pm. Enjoy signature bagel sandwiches cooked in a brick oven from the Breadhive Cooperative Bakery along with mimosas, bloody Mary’s or try a beermosa or one of their other unique drink options. Gone are the speakeasies, bootleggers and moonshine runners that once roamed the area. Today you can enjoy a great signature cocktail with a brick oven pizza in the warmth of the Hydraulic Hearth, 716 Swan Street, and check out their telephone booth artist podcasts, event nights, daily specials and all the other happenings at Larkin’s newest hotspot.

Catholic Education Partners of South Buffalo is formed By Catherine Miller COURIER CORRESPONDENT

The Catholic education system makes up a large part of our South Buffalo community. From the grade school uniforms you see treking to school early morning to the internships available to Mount Mercy Academy and Bishop Timon students at Catholic Health’s Mercy Hospital, and the students of all ages that attend Trocaire College, this religious based group provides education and employment for a great many in our area. With Catholic education being such an integral part of our community, the recent closings of catholic education and healthcare institutions was met with much concern by many area residents. Where concern begets action, a group was formed in response to the strong community vocalization of the closings and recently the Catholic Education Partners of South Buffalo [CEPSB] was founded. CEPSB is the first known partnership of its kind in the area. Its partners include represenatives from Notre Dame Academy, Mount Mercy Academy, Bishop TimonSt. Jude, Trocaire College and Mercy Hospital of Buffalo. “This is a unique privatepublic partnership whose focus is to increase student enrollment at member

BY THE NUMBERS

Pictured: Second grade students at Notre Dame Academy rehease their news-worthy weather presentations. schools by promoting South Buffalo as a community where students can obtain a second to none Catholic education from pre-school through college and have natural career opportunities,” said Thomas Sullivan, Principal at Bishop Timon-Saint Jude. “We want the larger community to know that Catholic education is alive and well in South Buffalo and the doors of our schools and

to our community are open to all children and their families.” Catholic Education Partners of South Buffalo strive to enhance the reputation and increase student enrollment at CEPSB schools by promoting the benefits of a Catholic education, the excellence of its member institutions and the quality of life in the South Buffalo community. A recent visit to Notre

Dame Academy found students thoroughly engrossed in their studies. Students were formed in groups and working productively on a weather report project where each child was responsible for a portion of the research behind the science based assignment. They then worked together to enhance their weather report, named themselves as a fictional news team, and delivered a detailed

news-worthy presentation combining the science and communications proponents of their project – and this detailed project was completed by the second grade class at Notre Dame. Cindy Zaklikowski is an eighth grade teacher at Notre Dame Academy. Although this is only her second year at the school, she loves it and feels at home after more than a decade of teaching.

“Teaching here is a great experience,” stated Zaklikowski, “It’s not just about academics. Our students are very well rounded.” The curriculum at the schools has recently been enhanced by the addition of a new STEAM program – an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics – that is now offered at area Catholic schools. The program, made possible by funding from the Oishei Foundation through the foundation’s dedication to supporting education, seeks to integrate hands-on experiences in technology and engineering to the already available programs and curriculum. Students are working on laptops at an earlier age; an engineering CAD program is now available at Bishop Timon; and students at both Timon and Mount Mercy Academy can participate in the Health Care Career Club that offers internships at Mercy Hospital in the field of research, medical, human resources, marketing, legal or communications. Many people in the area including Mount Mercy Academy President Sister Mary Ellen Twist, believe that South Buffalo’s community assets and quality of life make it an ideal place to live for young families, and providing a highlevel Catholic educaiton alternative is integral to the area’s continued success.
