Cheektowaga author develops special series of books By Debra Kelly
COURIER CORRESPONDENT
Keith White, Jr. never intended to be an author. He wrote here and there, submitted some reviews to web sites for fun, but never thought he would become a serious author. Until he found a reason to
write. It all started when his middle son, Andrew, began having difficulties in school. He couldn’t concentrate on schoolwork, homework or in class; White took him to a doctor, and he was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, and neurological problems including motor and tic disorders.
Seeing a child struggle in school is the last thing that a parent wants to witness, and when Andrew started coming home with assignments to do book reports, White saw a way to help.

Get the most of holiday business
Everything Healthy! Pick up a copy at Tops Markets and area medical offices!
With the holiday shopping season looming right around the corner, it’s the perfect time for local small business owners to get some tips and pointers on how to maximize their reach to their customers and their community. The Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce will be presenting the third of their educational seminars, geared toward helping those of the business community make the most of all the tools at
“Take a $50 bill, light it with a match and watch it burn!”
I’m serious. Go ahead and do it. What? You refuse? DO it anyway and see how it makes you feel. Painful wasn’t it? (Or were you just too chicken?) Well, guess what? Every day you run your furnace, you might as well take a $50 bill, light it with a match and watch it burn. Here’s why: That’s what your furnace is doing to you now. How do I know this? Simple. I know your furnace probably hasn’t been rejuvenated to factory fresh condition since the day it was installed. And every hour of every day it runs, it gets a little further out of adjustment, wasting slightly more gas for every unit of heat, costing more and more to operate. So, what can you do about this annoying situation? I’m glad you asked. Again, the answer is simple. Have a professional heating technician rejuvenate your furnace. To get the job done right, it will take about one and a half hours and $200 worth of labor and materials. The nice thing about a service like this is it usually
pays for itself several times over during the course of the winter... ...And if you call me for the service, not only will I have one of my top technicians do your rejuvenation for only $79, I will also guarantee your furnace won’t break down for the rest of this winter season. If it does, I WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR MONEY. Why am I doing this for a price that’s below my total cost? Once again, it’s simple. I have just increased my capacity to handle an additional 125 new clients. And rather than lose money for the time it usually takes to attract that many clients, I thought I’d just pass that amount along to you in the form of savings and what I hope is an irresistible offer. There you have it. You can’t lose, no matter what happens. The only danger you have is waiting too long and missing out on the opportunity. Our Super-Tune Up can save you up to 33% off your utility bills! Call now for your appointment... 694-8524.

their disposal. Holiday Campaigning for your Small Business will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at Empire State College in the AppleTree Business Park, located at 2875 Union Rd., Suite 34. Registration will start at 8:45 a.m., and the seminar itself will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. Registration fee is $12, and a continental breakfast will be included. “This seminar will benefit companies looking to promote their products and services for the upcoming holiday season,” said Debra Liegl, President and CEO of the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce. “Many of the concepts presented at this seminar can also be used for other marketing campaigns throughout the year.” With online shopping pre-
senting even more of a competitive option for people looking to simplify their holiday shopping, it’s more important than ever to reach out to the community in every way possible and to make the best of all the promotional tools available to get people away from their computers, away from the big box stores, and through the doors of the small businesses that make up the backbone of the community. The Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Small Business Administration to being the seminars to local business owners. Holidays about Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday, and making sure that a business is ready for their holiday campaigns well in advance of the Thanksgiv-
ing weekend. With more and more customers browsing online even before heading out to the stories, it’s increasingly crucial to have a strong commercial presence in a number of places – and they’re going to help small businesses do exactly that. From using email and Twitter to online discounts, coupons, and word of mouth across social media, it’s not enough today that businesses know their customer base – they also have to know how to reach new customers, and compete with businesses not just next door, but on the other side of the country. The Small Business Administration has a number of resources available on their web site as well, located at www.sba.gov/offices/district/ ny/buffalo.

Author inspired by son to begin writing children’s series break from reading, and, as it relates to the previous chapter, it helps them learn to retain and remember what they’ve been reading. White credits his wife for coming up with the idea of inserting pictures reading for coloring into the books. “The pictures give his brain a moment to wind down, and have a little fun before continuing on,” White said. “It helps him not to lose focus on the book, and to keep going. I also try from time to time to mention a color in the chapter, so that when he gets to the picture he can better relate the reading to the picture as he colors.” White has already developed a wide variety of titles, guaranteeing that no matter what a child is interested in, there’s something for them. Night of the Living Andrew is their take on Halloween, and there’s also Sherlock Andrew, Big Top Andrew, and Andrew and the Main Event. Now that Andrew is a

Author • from page 1 “That year, they wanted all the kids to read two books a month and write book reports on them,” he said. “Andrew was having trouble getting through one book in a school year, let alone two a month. I asked his teacher if it would be okay for me to write a book, and have him write a book report on it. She agreed, and I started writing.” That first book was “Andrew and the Pirates”, and when his own Andrew came home, beaming in pride and holding the “A” that he’d gotten on his book report.... that was the only motivation that White needed to keep writing. Now, he’s written 19 Color-With-Me Adventure books. More than just books for parents and children to read, each book has 10 chapters followed by a picture based on what was just read. The picture is an extremely practical part of the book; it’s a fun, interactive activity for kids to color the picture, it’s a

little older, he’s passed his starring role in many of the books on to his brother, Collin. Now, there’s QuickDraw Collin, Collin’s Day Cleaning, Collin the Pirate, Collin’s Winter Break.... and White says the books have been just as successful with Collin as they were with Andrew. No matter where they go, he says, Collin has a book or two with him for the ride. White has now made the Color-With-Me Adventure Books available on Amazon, much to his surprise. “I had never planned on it being anything more than a stapled-together
book for him to read,” he admitted. But once a friend had suggested trying to get them published, White decided to pursue it in the hopes that he would be able to reach out and help other students like Andrew get more interested in reading on a regular basis. Reading isn’t work, reading is fun – and now, he’s grateful to be able to help other children realize that. The books are available on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at Dogears Bookstore & Cafe in South Buffalo, and at The Bookworm in East Aurora.

USPS honors one of its own in beautiful Veterans Day ceremony
By Debra Kelly
By Rebecca Gunning
COURIER CORRESPONDENT
LOCKPORT STAR EDITOR
Every year for the last seven years, the United States Postal Service honors one of its own military veterans for his or her courageousness and dedication, both in the service and to the post office. This year, with the sun shining on an uncharacteristically warm November morning at 1200 William St. in Buffalo, John Light, a veteran of the Vietnam War, was honored with the Frank E. Cius Award in front of a crowd of about 50 postal employees and veterans. Light, who has worked as a letter carrier for the post office for the last 34 years, was drafted to serve in Vietnam at the young age of 19. After serving three years, he was honorably discharged when a booby trap went off, injuring both his legs. “It was tough, especially being away from home for the first time,” Light said. “It made you grow up real quick.” An emotional Timothy McKibbin, Light’s boss, presented the award to him, giving a moving speech. “Only by the grace of God, and the dedicated surgeons and nurses who helped him through his wounds was he able to survive and return home in one piece,” said a tearful McKibbin, who also nominated Light for the award. “I was scared. The war was already going on so you knew where you were
Assembly seat goes from controversy to reform
John Light, the man of honor, and his wife Mary. going,” added Light, who was awarded a Purple Heart and Combat Award among others for his service. “It was just a matter of making it back hopefully.” After the nomination from McKibbin, the post office’s Veterans Committee, composed of Marty Siminski, William C. Maygar, Kenneth V. Brown Jr., Elena Franjoine, David M. Lisowski and Patrick Gunning, unanimously chose Light. “It was a no-brainer. Not only with the job he did over in Vietnam, but also the way he goes about his job here at the post office,”
Gunning said. “He does his job the right way, and is an extremely hard worker.” Also in attendance was Cius, whom the award was named for. Cius, also a veteran of the Vietnam War, was part of the crew chief in a helicopter that was shot down. He was captured and spent six years in a POW camp. Seven years after receiving the inaugural award, he is still in awe that the award is in his honor. “I was honored. I just couldn’t believe that the post office was going to create an award,” said Cius, who worked at the post office for 22 years. “I didn’t
realize the full extent of it until after I got the award. My name was going to be handed off to someone else to receive this award.” Cius believes this year’s ceremony was the best so far, and thinks it’s important for people to be understand what’s going on in the world as well as recognize the job former and current military personnel are doing. “I think we should have more recognition for the troops. I think it’s good to know what’s going on,” he said. “If you don’t want to serve, you should be aware of what’s going on around you.”
For the past year, the 143rd Assembly Seat has been the site of some major controversy over the past year. From investigations of harassment to the misuse of public funds, it’s been pretty clear that everyone in the district has been ready for a change. Angela Wozniak has made history by simply being elected, but according to her, she’s not going to be slowing down any time soon. “It’s an incredible victory today to make history tonight,” she said of her win. “As soon as I get to Albany, I want to start a new ethics reform. I want to go in that direction to start putting trust back into elected officials.” That trust has been sorely lacking not just on the community level, but throughout the political realm. And Wozniak’s election seems to indicate that people are ready for a change. She’s the first Republican to hold the seat in decades, a surprising party swing in an area that’s been mostly Democratic for as long as most voters can remember. A graduate of Lancaster High School and D’Youville College, it was college that first got her interested in politics on a community level. After graduating with a degree
in Business Management and as the owner of her own small business – The Angela Wozniak Agency, which sells insurance – she became increasingly familiar with the impact that local and state governments have on the small businesses that make up the backbone of the community. Elected to the Cheektowaga Town Board in 2012, Wozniak is undoubtedly a familiar face around Cheektowaga. That’s unlikely to change, either, as it’s being able to make a difference for her community that’s been driving her to break record after record, even before being elected to state assembly. Even on the town level, Wozniak was the first Republican on the board in 18 years, the first female Republican ever, and the youngest council member ever. She’s already made headlines, often being the only one opposing council policies and practices; she’s already been speaking out against conflicts of interest, party bias, and increased spending. For years, Wozniak has continued to express her frustration at the practices and policies that have negative impacts on the taxpayer – and now she’s heading to Albany, promising to continue to work on a platform devoted to the taxpayers. Wozniak, her husband and her son live in Cheektowaga.

Party for a good cause By Debra Kelly
COURIER CORRESPONDENT
On Sunday, Dec. 7, the Response to Love Center will be holding their annual Koledy Party at the Millennium Hotel, located at 2040 Walden Ave. in Cheektowaga. Doors will open at 3:30 p.m., the cash bar starts at 4 p.m. with dinner at 5 and carols, songs and music throughout the rest of the evening. The event will include a traditional Polish and American Christmas sing-along, with the St. John Kanty Choir under the direction of Larry Maguda. It will also feature the Response to Love Center Trio of Sister Johnice, Sister Catherine and Sister Rose. The New Direction Band will also be performing; with that line-up, there’s guaranteed to be no shortage of fun polkas and dance music throughout the entire event. A dance competition is planned as well, where couples will be invited to take center stage and dance traditional dances like the waltz,
the oberek and the polka. Admission is $20, and that includes the dinner – a Polish buffet. There will also be theme tray raffles and door prizes, and children are invited and welcomed. Koledy is an old Polish tradition that’s more than just traditional music and Christmas carols – many of the songs have been handed down throughout the generations, with some traced as far back as the 14th century. They’re also known for capturing the true meaning and spirit of Christmas – there’s no Santa and presents here, but instead, the songs stay true to their origin and hymns that were sung during Mass. The tradition of Koledy has helped to ensure that the true meaning of Christmas isn’t lost among the commercialism of modern day holidays. The songs celebrate the original Christmas Story, the birth of Christ, and the true spirit of friends, family and gathering with loved ones. “Everyone is welcome,” said Ron Urbanczyk from the New Direction Band. “Sister Johnice is the star of the
show, and she puts her heart and soul into this event.” “It is a truly special event for us,” Sister Johnice said. “It’s a fundraiser, but it’s also an event to bring about the true meaning of Christmas through song and the sharing of a Polish buffet.” The Response to Love Center supports the community in countless ways, from the operation of their food bank to their dining rooms, which serves anywhere from 150 to 300 people each and every day. The center and its volunteers supply the community with much, much more than a warm meal and a comfortable place to eat. True to the spirit of their upcoming Koledy Party, the Sisters are making sure that anyone who reaches out will find a helping hand and the true meaning of Christmas – and have been since their inception in 1985. For more information on their programs and needs, visit responsetolovecenter. org. To reserve tickets to the event, call the center at 8947030.

‘Girl Code’ star comes to Buffalo By Lauren Kirchmyer ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER
Syracuse native Jessimae Peluso grew up making her family and friends laugh. As she grew older she decided she never wanted to work for a boss, so she moved to Boston to work on improvisation and stand up comedy. In 2006, she packed her bags and moved to New York City. “It takes a long time to get funny,” she said, stating it takes a combination of ambition, humility and taking risks to make it in the comedy circuit. “I love connecting to random strangers by talking to them.” Peluso found her best shows happened when she remained as genuine as possible on stage. One day, while performing stand up in New York City, her raw and unpredictable sense of humor attracted the casting directors of MTV’s “Girl Code” and she was invited to audition for the show. “Being approachable and having humility on stage served me well,” she said. The casting directors liked Peluso and asked her to join the show’s cast. “Girls have a hard time growing up in this culture,”
Syracuse native and ‘Girl Code’ star comes to town. Peluso said. She loved that being a part of “Girl Code” gave her the opportunity to talk about various insecurities girls face while shar-
ing her own experiences on how she survived them and became the woman she is today. “If I can let girls know beauty standards are

ridiculous I think I accomplished something.” Besides being on “Girl Code,” Peluso has had the opportunity to appear on
“The Tyra Banks Show,” “Failosophy” and “Chelsea Lately.” She also enjoys writing and has contributed to magazines such as “Cos-
mopolitan” and “Glamour.” Though she has had many memorable milestones in the short amount of time she has been working professionally, her most memorable moment took place when she was shopping at her favorite store with her mom in Syracuse last Christmas. “A girl came up to me when we were at Marshall’s. She said I was her favorite girl from ‘Girl Code’ and asked if she could have her picture taken with me,” Peluso recalled. “My mom was so excited and was beaming with pride. It was a special moment for me. I’m doing all of this for my family. I want to be able to take care of them.” Peluso will visit Buffalo – for her first time ever – to perform at Helium Comedy Club, located at 30 Mississippi St. in Buffalo. Her shows begin at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Saturday. General admission tickets are $20 and may be purchased at www.heliumcomedy.com/ buffalo. A meet and greet will take place after every performance. “I invite all single firemen to come see my show,” Peluso said. “I love upstate people.”

WE’D LOVE TO SEE YOU
Comedy fans can “expect the unexpected” as funny guy Marlon Wayans takes the stage at Helium Comedy Club next weekend to perform stand up. Though he has performed at colleges throughout the area many times in the past, he is excited to perform his first show for “the locals.” “I really enjoy Buffalo,” he said. “People there are listeners, and I love listeners more than anything. Listening will make you laugh.” Wayans grew up with a funny family in the projects of New York City. As he and his nine brothers and sisters grew up, their work and their names became well known in the entertainment industry. “We always give each other advice and inspire each other with what we’re doing,” he said. He gained popularity in the early ’90s when he appeared in the sketch comedy series “In Living Color,” created by his brothers Keenan and Damon. Following in their footsteps, Wayans joined brother Shawn in creating the series “The Wayans Bros.” The family continued working together, writing, producing and starring in box-office hits such

Cheektowaga erases 21-point deficit, scores five fourthquarter TDs in comeback win over Bennett for Class B title By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Ralph Wilson Stadium was the site of the biggest comeback in NFL history. It’s fitting that it would be the site of one of an impressive comeback in high school football, too. Down 28-7 at the start of the fourth quarter, Cheektowaga scored five touchdowns in the final frame to defeat Bennett/ Olmstead, 40-34, to win the Section VI Class B title on Friday evening (Nov. 7). “Bennett is tough,” said Cheektowaga head coach Mike Fatta. “Every yard we got, we earned today. The kids believed and that’s the bottom line.” The Warriors came out out of the gates quick, going 60 yards on just four plays and capping off the drive with a 24-yard touchdown run by Marshawn Gibson to give the Warriors a 7-0 lead. That seemingly woke up Bennett as Alex Dildy took the ensuing kickoff 81 yards to put his team up 8-7. Just a few plays later, Marcelus Toliver intercepted Zak Ciezki and the Tigers marched 55 yards on 12 plays as Isaiah McDuffie plunged in to give Bennett a 14-7 lead. Andrew White would score two third-quarter touchdowns on runs of 49 and 3 yards and it seemed as if Bennett had the game in hand with a 28-7 lead, especially after Cheektowaga had failed to convert on two previous trips to the red zone. “We had the momentum and

Zack Ciezki had a hand in all five of Cheektowaga’s fourth-quarter touchdowns and the Warriors rallied from a 21-point deficit to defeat Bennett 40-34 in the Class B finals at Ralph Wilson Stadium. then they had the momentum and then it swung back and that’s what a championship game is about,” said Bennett/ Olmstead head coach Steve McDuffie. “They just played a great game and our defense didn’t do what we needed them to do. All I can say is that Cheektowaga was the better team today.”
The turning point in the game for Cheektowaga came on a second-and-21 from its own 38, as Ciezki hit Gibson on a screen pass and he darted 52 yards to Bennett’s 10-yard line on the last play of the third quarter. Two plays later, Ciezki called his own number on a 9-yard run to cut the lead to 14. After the Tigers went three-
and-out, Ciezki struck again, hitting Tyron Lawson in stride for a 65-yard score. It appeared that Bennett had regained the momentum after converting a fourth-and-short from its own 19, but moments later Justin Williams recovered a McDuffie fumble and all of a sudden the Warriors had the ball on the Tigers’ 6-yard line
down 28-21. Ciezki only needed two plays this time, running it in from five yards out to tie the game with 5:15 left. “Our mindset was ‘we’re not going to quit no matter what,’” said Ciezki. “I don’t care how many points we’re down, we look at the score as 0-0, we’re going to keep doing our jobs
and keep doing what coaches tell us to do.” Cheektowaga didn’t stop after the tie, forcing another punt that Davion Stallworth returned to Bennett’s 20, and four plays later Ciezki dove in to push the Warriors in front 34-28 lead with 1:16 left. It looked as if Bennett was doomed after a mishandled kick pinned them at the 10, but on the first play, Anthony Mendrysa found Bradon Brown for a 90-yard touchdown to tie the game up at 34 following a failed two-point conversion. “Getting the stop on that two-point conversion was big because it let us relax and play for overtime if we needed to,” said Fatta. “We didn’t need to score at the end of the game, we did, but getting the stop on the two-point conversion was big.” The Warriors got the ball at their own 39 and after three plays they found themselves at the Tigers’ 40 with 15 seconds left. Ciezki heaved a pass to Stephan Parker and the 6-foot-2 sophomore hauled it in while having the awareness to stretch the ball over the pylon before stepping out of bounds to give Cheektowaga the win and its first sectional title since 2009. “We knew we were going to go to Stephan,” said Ciezki. “He’s our tallest receiver. I knew if I threw it up to him there was a good chance that he would go up and get it.” Ciezki finished 9 for 23 for 224 yards and five total touchdowns (all in the fourth quarter). Gibson had 102 yards on 16 carries and two catches for 57 yards for Cheektowaga (8-2), which will advance to the Far West Regional (3 p.m. Saturday at All High Stadium against Batavia.

Central surprises in Class B2 in spite of youth By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER
After losing seven talented seniors from last season, you might have thought the Cheektowaga Central High School girls volleyball team was in for a down season. And if you did think that, you would have been off the mark. The Warriors had some growing pains throughout the regular season but came up big when it mattered most. Cheektowaga put together a strong postseason run and reached the Section VI Class B2 championship game. “No one expected them to get this far and they did,” coach Denee Hickson said. “So they should be proud.” Cheektowaga earned a
No. 4 seed for the Class B2 sectional playoffs and opened with a four-game win over fifth-seed Olean at home on Oct. 28. But it was two days later that Cheektowaga earned one of the most memorable wins in the history of the strong program. The Warriors beat rival Depew in five games, including a 27-25 victory in Game 5. “It was amazing,” Hickson said. “The way that we played, the electricity, the energy, it was definitely Cheektowaga volleyball.” The Warriors lost the championship game to Albion in three games but that didn’t take away from another strong season for the program. And the Cheektowaga success was led by a strong senior class, headlined by libero Alexis Macadlo and middle hitter Shawnn Foster. The rest of the senior class also delivered early and often and that group includes outside hitter Amanda
Kraus, setter and outside hitter Brittany Adamczyk, middle hitter Taraya Fisher, outside hitter Boston Kistka, outside hitter and defensive specialist Boston Kistka and outside/middle hitter Kaylee Martin. Those girls will be missed next season but Cheektowaga has no plans on a downswing. “We lost seven seniors last year and we lost eight this year but they’re fighters,” Hickson said. “They’re Warriors in and out.” And the Warriors are far from done. Current juniors Sarah Braciak, Summer Walters, Natalie Minotti, Jeanette Kassman, Kim Thompson and Lauren Onisk and sophomores Maria Verrastro and Maria Verrastro will be back next season and Cheektowaga will be looking to continue its run of success. “A lot of work in the offseason and we’ll be contenders next year too,” Hickson said.

After graduating seven seniors from last season’s team, the Cheektowaga Central Warriors made a run to the Class B2 finals against Albion.
NCAAA Crusaders complete undefeated season with win By Gary Steltermann CONTRIBUTOR
Nov. 2 was a day for the history books for the North Cheektowaga Amateur Athletic Association’s football teams. The Freshman Spartans, appearing in their second OATKA championship game in three years, fell short of their ultimate goal by losing to Gowanda, 9-0. The Varsity Crusaders, however, completed their undefeated season by winning
19-7 over the South Buffalo Shamrocks. The Spartans had strong games out of a plethora of players including defensive performances by Sean Hargrave, Matt “Honey Badger” Corchado, Keyshawn Mack, Monte Mason, Jeremy Thompson and Jemery Clark. Hard running was put in on the offensive side of the ball by Devan Dipasquale and Evan Kohr along with standout blocking up front by Justus Hill and Chris Hargrave. The game was a defensive battle for much of the day, as
the Spartans gave up a safety in the second quarter to the Panthers as they took just a 2-0 lead into halftime. The game wasn’t finally put away by the Panthers until late in the fourth quarter as the Panthers scored on a run to the outside to go up for good 9-0. The Spartans nearly put a score of their own in the end zone as Harper completed long passes to Kohr and Thompson until time ran out. Other strong performances in the game went to captain Billy Morris and James Reindfleisch, who stepped in at the center
position. The Spartan coaching staff would like to thank each of the families as well as wish good luck to all players moving up to the Titans next season. The last game of the evening saw the Varsity Crusaders cap off their dominant season with a win over rival South Buffalo. Kaiser Acosta started the scoring off with a fantastic 43-yard touchdown as he broke multiple tackles on his way into the end zone in the first quarter.Acosta also had an interception on the day for the Crusaders and even completed
a long 35-yard pass to Malik Early before the half expired. Javaughn Williams showed off his hard running style on a long 55-yard touchdown and quarterback Dylan Casey ran in the extra point attempt to put the Crusaders up 13-0 early in the second half. CJ Ozolins completed the running back trio scoring by punching in a 1-yard run to put the Crusaders in the lead 19-0. Strong defensive performances were seen by Caleb Graves, Nick Costanzo, and Jayden Krueger, who had a fumble recovery on the
19-yard line. Time-eating running by Anthony Daly saw the Crusaders finish off their undefeated season. The Football and Cheerleading end-of-year banquet will be held Nov. 21 at the Millennium Hotel to recap and celebrate this historic season.

‘Weekend Update’ anchor connected to the Queen City By: Lauren Kirchmyer When Seth Meyers left the desk of “Weekend Update” on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” fans were wondering who would replace him. Although it looked as though it would be cast member Cecily Strong, Lorne Michaels asked the show’s head writer, Colin Jost, to fill Meyers’ shoes alongside comedian Michael Che. “Getting ‘Weekend Update’ has been the biggest moment of my life,” Jost said. “To perform on ‘SNL’ and be part of the cast and tradition is really cool.” But if you look at his life prior to his “Saturday Night Live” career, you may be surprised Jost is where he is today. “There are many people in my family history who worked in the engineering industry,” he explained. His father, an East Aurora native, worked for Struthers Wells in Buffalo, prior to moving to New York City to work for Procter & Gamble. Jost, on the other hand, enjoyed making people laugh while growing up in Staten Island. In sixth grade, he and his friends convinced their teacher to let them perform skits from “Saturday Night Live” for the class. When it came time to decide what he wanted to study for his undergrad however, Jost picked something far from comedy. The Harvard graduate studied the history and literature of Russia and Britain because he enjoyed reading. “I didn’t know I could have a job in comedy. I thought it was just
a fun thing to do on the side.” When he graduated college, Jost decided to submit a packet of his writing to “Saturday Night Live.” He didn’t hear back and six months later submitted a second packet. This time he received a phone call and went in for an interview with the show’s head writer, Tina Fey. She liked Jost and he moved on to another interview, with Michaels. “At the end he was like, ‘I’ll be seeing you around,’” Jost said about the show’s creator and producer. “I was not sure what it meant. Then I got a call interpreting what Lorne said and I started the next week.” His writing received a lot of laughs and Jost worked his way up the “SNL” writing
chain, earning him Emmy nominations along the way. Some of his favorite skits include when the cast sang Billy Joel’s “Goodnight Saigon” on Will Ferrell’s finale show, when Jonah Hill serenaded his “wife” for their anniversary and when Vanessa Bayer portrayed Miley Cyrus after her performance on MTV’s Video Music Awards. His favorite guests to write for are the ones who have an inherent comedy in them, such as Kristen Wiig, Zach Galifanakis and Emma Stone. He hopes to someday have the chance to write skits for comedians Eddie Murphy and Stephen Colbert, as well as actors Kate Winslet and Michael Keaton. Outside of “Saturday Night
Live,” Jost enjoys performing stand-up shows. “I’m a lot looser and goofier than the news anchor character I play on ‘Weekend Update,’” he said. To prepare for his shows, Jost spends time exploring the cities he’s performing in. Last week, Jost performed at Bear’s Den Showroom at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino. Before his show, he explored the American and Canadian sides of the falls and roamed around the city his father grew up in. “It’s so beautiful,” he said about the area. “It’s really cool to wander around and see the town.” Jost is also working on starting a career writing screenplays for movies. “It’s the hardest writing process because there’s so much going on. You have to make the script unique and funny and interesting for the viewer.” After having multiple screenplays rejected, or being accepted but having nothing created, his first movie finally came through. “Staten Island Summer,” a film filled with “Saturday Nigh Live” cast members about lifeguards who are spending their last week of summer together before they go away to college, is expected to be out in the spring or summer of 2015. “I’ve learned I’m pretty resilient,” Jost said. “If you really want something, stick with it and work at it. Eventually you will break through in some way.”

New York’s preterm birth rate was 10.7 percent in 2013, down from 12.4 in 2006, the year the national rate peaked. New York again earned a “B” on the report card. The national preterm birth rate fell to 11.4 percent in 2013 – the lowest in 17 years – meeting the federal Healthy People 2020 goal seven years early. Despite this progress,
the nation still received a “C” on the annual report card and still has the highest rate of preterm birth of any industrialized country. “We’re proud of New York’s long-term improvement on the report card. Their success is a testament to the hard work of state and local health departments, our hospital partners and health care providers, as well as to how focused and effective policies, strong leadership, and clinician commitment have led to improvement in obstetric and newborn outcome in a problem as complex and seemingly

intractable as preterm delivery,” said Christopher Glantz, MD, MPH, professor of OB/GYN and public health sciences at the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Strong Memorial Hospital. “Through the March of Dimes unique, team-based research and implementation projects including decreasing the number of elective deliveries before 39 weeks, we will continue the important work of preventing preterm birth, so more babies will get a healthy start in life.” The March of Dimes is investing in a network of prematurity research centers, to find solutions to this still too-common, costly and serious problem. To help accomplish our goals in New York State, the March of Dimes has continued to embrace the Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait (HBWW) Community Program. HBWW is a national March of Dimes preterm birth prevention initiative with a focus on decreasing preventable preterm birth. Through partnerships and collaborations among hospitals, health departments and community organizations, the HBWW Program provides education for pregnant patients, perinatal providers and the greater community on the problem of preterm birth and on strategies for reducing risk. Though New York has sustained success in reducing the rate, the strategy will now be to ramp up interventions in areas of the state where preterm birth rates are still high. In addition, the chapter continues to support CenteringPregnancy (CP) programs throughout the state
that increase the amount of time a pregnant mom spends with her health care provider, as well as create peer support, which will ultimately help more women have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. In New York, the rate of late preterm births is 7.6 percent; the rate of women smoking is 16.6 percent, and the rate of uninsured women is 13.1 percent. These factors contribute to improved infant health in New York. It earned a star on the report card for reducing the percent of uninsured women of childbearing age. This improvement means not just healthier babies, but also a potential savings in health care and economic costs to society. The March of Dimes attributed the improved rates to an expansion of successful programs and interventions, including actions by state health officials here and every other state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. “We will continue to work together to improve access to health care, help women quit smoking and, through our Healthy Babies Are Worth the Wait consumer education campaign, encourage women and health care providers to avoid scheduling a delivery before 39 weeks of pregnancy, unless medically necessary,” Dr. Glantz said. Grades are based on comparing each state’s and the nation’s 2013 preliminary preterm birth rates with the March of Dimes 2020 goal of 9.6 percent of all live births. The U.S. preterm birth rate is 11.4 percent, a decline of 11 percent from the peak of 12.8 percent in 2006. The report card informa-
tion for the U.S. and states will be available online at: marchofdimes.org/reportcard. Premature birth, birth before 37 weeks of pregnancy, is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to the Institute of Medicine. It is the leading cause of newborn death, and babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. Even babies born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and illness than full-term infants. At least 39 weeks of pregnancy are important to a baby’s health because many important organs, including the brain and lungs, are not completely developed until then. On Nov. 17, the March of Dimes and organizations from around the world will mark the fourth World Prematurity Day. The World Prematurity Network (WPN), a global coalition of consumer and parent groups working together to raise awareness and prevent premature birth in their countries, is calling for action to prevent preterm birth and improve care for babies born too soon. An estimated 15 million babies are born premature and of those more than a million die as a result of their early birth. Learn more about Prematurity Awareness Month and World Prematurity Day by visiting www.facebook.com/worldprematurityday and share stories and videos about babies born too soon. The page features an interactive world map showing the
home place for each story told. Prematurity Awareness events are happening throughout November across New York State. Details can be found at m a r c h o f d i m e s . o rg / n y. Here in our community: •The March of Dimes is holding an event on Nov. 17 at the Millennium Hotel Buffalo, where the region’s top maternal-child leaders will converge to make an important announcement in the effort to eradicate premature birth in Western New York. Call 583-9534 for details about the event. •Niagara Falls, the Seneca Niagara Casino, the Peace Bridge and the Iskalo Building – “Electric Tower” will all shine in purple light on Nov. 17 to symbolize hope for a healthy start for more babies. The March of Dimes is the leading non-profit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines and breakthroughs.
