Lady Quaker bowlers on a roll Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Last year, Lancaster and Frontier were the Orchard Park girls bowling team’s nemeses, according to second-year Lady Quakers coach Brian Himes. OP’s lone defeats during an 8-2 campaign that resulted in it being a co-champion of ECIC Large School South with Frontier, were to those squads. Well, after graduating just one senior, a young OP squad from 2013-14 is even more polished this season. And it showed as much in defeating Frontier and Lancaster and then West Seneca West in its first three matches. They were convincing victories, too, with the Lady Quakers downing both the Falcons and Lancaster, 7-0, and the Lady Indians, 5-2, to start 3-0. That was after OP placed second in the preseason Maryvale Tournament. “I was really happy and impressed with the way they came back this year,” Himes said. “Quite a few of the girls basically bowl year-round. A handful of the girls don’t, but they came back strong, too. “Getting (Frontier and Lancaster) under our belts, the way our girls bowled, I hope we continue on that pattern. I just don’t want to see them peak too early.” Himes noted he’s already seen a lot of improvement — thanks to many of the girls competing in offseason leagues — from 201314 to this season in his starters. That’s high praise for a group that shared the division title last winter.And certainly it raises the expectation. But Himes is concerned with keeping the enjoyment factor high before reaching augmented success. The way OPis trending, it just might accomplish both this season. “Honestly, it bumps it up a notch and it just makes the aspirations that much higher,” Himes said of his outlook for the year after seeing his team get off to a hot beginning. “I like the girls to have fun while they’re bowling — enjoy the sport. Bowl because you want to bowl, and if we win, that’s a bonus. But I think they can go quite far this year.” The Lady Quakers bring back three of their four A team bowlers from a season ago. Brianne Meyer graduated, but freshman Danielle Milo (170 average in 2013-14), sophomore Madelyn Jensen (176) and senior captain Kaitlyn Kelly (173) are back. Sophomore Nicole Rzepka has received the early-season reps in the vacant opening left by Meyer.

Erin Nason averaged 12.6 points per game last year. She has 207 career steals and 255 career rebounds in her four-year career.

Nason does it all for Lady Blue Devils By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

For two of her first three seasons, Erin Nason led the East Aurora girls basketball team in scoring. The time she didn’t, her freshman year, Nason had the second-most

points on the Lady Blue Devils. That’s well and all, but those are not feats she actively seeks out. There is too much more to do, and Nason, now a senior, is too unselfish to prioritize individual accomplishments. Really, they are reached by just playing the game. Uncharacteristic of a top scoring threat, Nason always defends an opponent’s best backcourt player, is the most dependable rebounder of any guard on the floor most

nights and has a knack for diving for loose balls and coming up with possession. So, sure, the 12.6 points per game as a junior and 11.6 two years ago has allure. But in terms of team success, it’s the contributions in the notas-flashy areas — like 207 steals (5.25 per game this season) and 255 rebounds in 64 career games — that reveal Nason’s importance to EA. “Every team might have a little bit of an Erin somewhere, I just don’t think

they’re as good as Erin,” Lady Blue Devils coach Gary Schutrum said. Perhaps speaking louder than anything about the 5-foot-7 guard’s complete and team-oriented game is the fact each of her first three years, the Lady Blue Devils have been in a sectional final. And en route to the postseason runs, Nason brought the patient shooting and endless intangibles that makes her such a factor in EA’s quest for a fourth consecutive championship appearance.

“I think she is one of, if not the, key component,” Schutrum said of the fourthyear varsity player. “She has the ability to do so many things well. Erin could probably put herself in a position where she doesn’t have to do all the dirty work, but she does all the dirty work. She’ll set the screens, she’ll make the entry. She’s an unselfish player.”

Quakers host 29th annual wrestling tournament

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

The Orchard Park wrestling team got the match experience it wanted and needed. The program hosted its 29th annual tournament Saturday (Dec. 13), presenting a prime chance for the young Quakers to gain valuable mat time early on in the season. The biggest takeaway for the Quakers, who had three varsity placers, was that it wasn’t a double-elimination format like many tournaments are. It was round robin, as OP’s

10 varsity entrants were able wrestle in four or five matches apiece. “Because of our youth, we need a lot of matches,” OP assistant coach Bruce Pryce said of the varsity newcomers and underclassmen who dominate the roster. “They’re just not experienced yet. Experience means wins. We had some tough teams there, we wrestled a lot of them, and we were still able to get a lot of placewinners and some wins.” In the highly competitive tournament with some premier squads, Orchard Park placed fifth out of nine teams with 49 points. Newfane won it, scoring 176 points. The quality of opponents especially made the day worthwhile, according to Pryce. “It’s not the kind of sport where you want to go and

They’re on the verge of breaking through. They’re getting wins and they’re competitive.” Of course, also there were the OP veterans who did more than just grab some additional wrestling time and win a match or two. Sophomore Jake Brewer moved up a weight class to 119 and won by going 5-0. Giving up weight and some strength to each of his opponents, Pryce said Brewer strategically won his fights.

Blue Devils’ late rally falls short in OT loss to Depew By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

One team had the seniors, and the other just couldn’t match with as many. That’s what Depew boys basketball coach Larry Jones saw as the difference in an aggressive game that went to an extra session. Jones was able to put senior co-captains Colin Gemerek and Dylan Sekuterski and senior Tyler Anna on the court down the stretch while the Wildcats’ opponent, East Aurora, answered with senior Mike Coatsworth and its host of underclassmen. The age won out, with the Wildcats outscoring the Blue Devils, 13-6, in overtime to claim a 57-50 victory Tuesday night (Dec. 16) at Depew. It was EA’s ECIC III opener and it fell to 0-2 overall while Depew advanced to 2-2 (2-0 ECIC III). “They have Coatsworth, but I had three seniors out there,” Jones said. “That matters in

these types of games. It’s tough for sophomores. They did a nice job for them all night, but that’s a difficult situation to put them in. I thought physically sometimes we were a little tougher than them. But it all came down to a little more experience.” Anna finished with a gamehigh 23 points while Gemerek had 10. Sekuterski scored 13, seven of which came in overtime. He drilled a 3-pointer in response to EA scoring the OT’s first points on a layup. Then Sekuterski secured the victory by going 4 for 4 at the foul line after freshman Chad Biersbach knocked in a triple to make it 50-46, Depew, midway through the fifth period. “It’s nice having a kid who’s played quarterback for two years at the varsity level,” Jones said of Sekuterski, who was Depew’s starting signal caller in the fall. “Having a kid who’s not afraid to lead, not afraid to take big shots is great.” Coatsworth netted 20 points to lead EA and he added five rebounds. Junior Noah Thompson chipped in 14 points and four boards in the defeat. Sophomore Joe Montgomery corralled five rebounds while

Senior guard is first-year captain “Nason” from page B1 When she’s not exerting a full effort on defense, jumping passing lanes and getting in the hip pocket of premier scorers, Nason is incredibly patient and astute on the offensive side. She gets her points by waiting for good, open shots — nothing is premeditated. As a result, it’s a true five-player attack with East Aurora (4-0, 2-0 ECIC II, as of Dec. 19). An example of Nason’s supreme awareness was in a Dec. 12 home game versus Depew. She didn’t have many quality looks early, which explains her two first-half points. Instead of chucking up contested shots, Nason went ahead and dished out five assists in the first quarter alone. As it often does, her opportunity arrived in the second half of the 64-22 win. Nason responded with a trio of 3-pointers in the final two quarters. It was an efficient, typical performance by the senior. “She’ll score when she needs to score, she’ll make the pass when she needs to make the pass,” Schutrum said. “She doesn’t force it.” “It’s fun when everybody is on the scoreboard,” Nason said. “It’s easy when you face a team who has one scorer — you just focus on them. I like it when everybody is contributing.” The do-all guard makes up a third of the tri-captaincy this year because Schutrum said her selfless manner and passion is contagious. She is also a fourth of a quartet of

really strong scorers. Nason, Sam Youngman, Emma Brinker and Julianna Meisenheimer each went for double figures versus Depew. The latter two players are EA’s top point getters through four games. As productive as they are, they could very well sustain that and place Nason as the team’s third-highest scorer. As if that matters to Nason, who still averages 11 points a night. There are still going to be passes by the opposition that need deflecting, players in open space to be found and offensive rebounds to be had — a Nason specialty, according to Schutrum. “It takes off a nice amount of pressure,” Nason said. “It’s nice not feeling like if I didn’t score enough, that’s the reason we didn’t do well. It’s nice to have so many good players on our team. You can just keep passing it if other people keep scoring.” While it may or may not show in the actual “points per game” column, Schutrum knows Nason is responsible for much of what the Lady Blue Devils do. “She doesn’t need to be the leading scorer for us to be successful and she knows that,” Schutrum said. “If someone else has that title this year, she will be OK with that. That’s how she is. That’s what’s rare. She sets the tone, sets the tempo. How Erin plays is often how the team goes.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

JEFFREY T. BARNES

Josh Denz had two late 3-pointers in regulation to help East Aurora force overtime. fellow sophomore Cal McTigue registered a couple big blocks. EA coach Chris Koselny thought there was much to like about his team’s performance. He said his players battled hard

much of the night, which was imperative during a league contest in which shots weren’t constantly dropping for either side. But he’d like just a tad bit more in the hustle category.

“I was proud of our effort for most of the game,” Koselny said. “One of my assistants counted 10 possessions where we could have dove on the floor and we didn’t dive on the floor. You’re not going to win that way and we have to take that to heart. The kids have to play angry, with something else inside them.” EA was down by eight at the break and it mounted a second-half comeback to force overtime. Sophomore Josh Denz saved his best moments for late in the evening. He nailed a triple to put the Blue Devils up a point with 3:30 to go in regulation and a second one less than a minute later regained the advantage at 41-39. That sequence saw Denz score his lone six points, and he added six rebounds. The possession following Denz’ second trey, Anna kept the downtown bombardment coming, hitting a 3 to put the Wildcats in front. Soon after, Coatsworth hit yet another triple to tie it at 44 with 1:40 to go and force free basketball. The back-and-forth sharpshooting aptly portrayed the outside games EA and Depew excel at. That aspect of the

matchup may have been a stalemate, but the Wildcats held the upper hand in terms of having more familiarity with being in a close, tense situation. Simply put, they owned more experience. But it’s something EA can change with seasoning of its own. After all, it’s December. “I felt like we froze up a little bit, and we have to grow through that,” Koselny said. “We have youth on the floor, younger players. You have to play through some of those things early and hopefully work it out as you move on. “We made mistakes — basketball is a game of mistakes and fixing them. We just have to fix a few more.” Koselny is looking forward to seeing how the Blue Devils grow from Tuesday’s test. So much so, in fact, that shortly after the final buzzer sounded, he already knew the date of EA’s next bout with its league foe. “I’m anxious to play Depew again on Jan. 22,” he said. East Aurora is back on the hardwood at 7:30 p.m. Friday (Dec. 19) when it battles Cheektowaga at home in an ECIC III tilt. Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Experience gained pleased Pryce “Grapplers” from page B1 It was a lot more in-close combat than Brewer is used to, as he had to make up for the weight gap somehow. He proved capable, as he showcased his versatility and proficiency in the sport. “He’s really experienced for his age,” Pryce said of Brewer, who is certified at 113. “It’s really great because he showed me a lot of technique. What he was doing was getting in tight and doing body locks and walkovers and really close hand-to-hand fighting. That takes a lot of guts and you have to know what you’re doing. He had some close matches, but whenever it was in doubt, he scored.” Billy Myers took a close second. The senior lost in the 182-pound weight class finals, 3-2. He finished the tournament 4-1. Another senior, Aaron Cassiano, also had a strong showing at 4-1, claiming second in 138. He’s 5-1 on the year after winning his match in OP’s seasonopening loss to Jamestown on Dec. 10. Three sophomores, in specific, were beneficiaries of participating at the tournament. Rocco Giannicchi, a sophomore, didn’t place at 113, but he exhibited tremendous signs of enhancement. “He lost by a point to a guy who pinned him quickly last year,” Pryce said. “He didn’t come through in terms of wining the tournament but he’s much, much better.” Sophomore Bret Morseon won a couple matches at 195

Bret Morseon had a strong day at the Orchard Park wrestling tournament. before tiring out a little, said Pryce, who added that he wrestled a few bigger seniors and fared well overall. “I think Bret, in a dual match, can beat anyone,” Pryce said. “Maybe by the third match he loses his edge a little bit. He’s working on that part of it, but he’s hard to handle.” Sophomore Tim Darling grappled in the 182 class, where he finished 1-3. Also performing well for

OP was junior Joe Preischel, who registered his first and second varsity wins at 152. In the JV portion of the tournament, Zachary Herr (99) was the Quakers’ top finisher, going 4-1 en route to a second-place performance. He didn’t have enough practices in to qualify for varsity on Saturday. Freshman Jason Omar, who wrestled on varsity versus Jamestown, went 3-2 in the JV 106 class while Matt

Wertz (132) and sophomore Will Gura (145) were also competitive at that level. “We did as well as we could,” Pryce said. “A lot of wrestlers showed that they are a lot better than they were last year. As long as they keep doing that, they’re going to break through as they go. But they need matches and mat time. That’s what they lack.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Milo has rolled a 600 set in both league matches “Rollers” from page B1 Milo has been OP’s best bowler so far, rolling a 600 set in each of the two league matches, while Himes noted Kelly’s leadership always steers the team in the right direction. For the second year in row, the Lady Quakers have one senior, and this time it’s Kelly. “She’s a great girl,” Himes said. “She really holds the team together. I consider her

a motherly figure — she keeps things positive. She contributes a lot to the team aspect and brings a lot to the table.” Sophomore Alexa Casacci, who carried a 172 average last year, stabilizes the B team. She has the potential to grow into an A role, though, Himes said. The rest of the B group will be filled by number of bowlers. It’ll be a lot of riding the

hot hand, Himes said. Just under half the roster — seven of 15 — is made up of sophomores who are essentially regular rollers. Brianna Williams, Morgan Beres, Kayla Perrin, Nicole Newton fit that bill, as they figure to provide plenty of games to the Bs. So does varsity rookie Paige Bartosz, an eighth grader. “She might give the A team

a run for their money,” Himes said of Bartosz. “But with it being her first year I’m still kind of trying to see how she handles different match situations. She’s doing well, though.” Returning eighth grader Sarah Radt, juniors Emily Richards, Allison Richards, Kaitlyn Bartz and Bailey Johnson give OP tremendous depth, as they are other op-

tions Himes has for the B team. While still young, the Lady Quakers do hold an abundance of big-match experience — they took sixth at Section VI Class A Championships a year ago. Now the key for OP, Himes said, is sustaining the attitude that got it wins against its archrivals. Himes is at least happy to have a staunch leader

in Kelly on his side, along with a host of proven returners. “You can see the maturity in quite a few of them. They’re coming along very well,” Himes said. “Our philosophy is ‘Enjoy the wins and enjoy the success, but don’t get a big head.’ We need to go into every match prepared like we were for the first two.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

FROM the SIDELINES A time of the year for giving: Bills distribute gifts, wins By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Buffalo Bills long snapper Garrison Sanborn fondly remembers what it was like to be a kid during the holidays. “I was a kid once,” Sanborn began. “It’s a blast to get gifts.” That’s why Sanborn decided to give a few of his own recently. Sanborn, a sixth-year NFL veteran, was one of a host of Buffalo players to participate in the Bills Toyota Rookie Club’s annual holiday party for children on Tuesday, Dec. 9, inside a winter wonderland-themed Jim Kelly Club at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Over 100 children from 10 local organizations were invited to attend the event. Children from each organization submitted a holiday wish list before the party,

and Bills players — Sanborn included — distributed bags full of gifts to everyone of them. Sanborn, who’s taken part in the event since his rookie year, said seeing how excited the kids were made participating more than worth his while. “There’s nothing like it, seeing kids happy,” Sanborn said. “It’s just a regular day to try and bring a smile to their face, and that’s why we’re here. I know I’ll keep coming as long as I’m [in Buffalo].” And Sanborn wasn’t alone. Bills running back C.J. Spiller, who has also taken part in the event since his first NFL season in 2010, was also in attendance and agreed that making kids happy is something he and his teammates strive to do. “The biggest thing is just seeing the smiles on their

Buff State hockey downs Johnson & Wales BUFFALO, NY—Jason Zaleski (Scranton, PA/Scranton) scored three times and Ryan Salkeld (Virginia Beach, VA/Churchland) tallied four points to lead Buffalo State (3-6-2) to a 5-3 victory over visiting Johnson & Wales (55-1) in a non-conference game today at the Ice Arena. Salkeld opened the scoring with just over three minutes remaining in the opening period when he forced a turnover just inside the Wildcats’ blue line and buried the breakaway attempt. Johnson & Wales drew even, but Zaleski’s first of the game reclaimed the lead for Buffalo State with just 20 seconds remaining in the opening frame. Salkeld gave the Bengals a 3-1 lead with his second of the game and fifth of the season on the power play early in the

second period, but the Wildcats answered again with a power-play tally of their own. Zaleski’s second just under a minute later pushed the lead to two again, but JWU closed the deficit to 4-3 late in the middle stanza. Buffalo State allowed just five shots in the third period, all in the closing minutes, and Zaleski scored his third of the game and fifth of the season on the empty net to seal the victory. Ian Sylves (Sloan, NY/ JFK) finished with 20 saves in the victory as the Bengals outshot the Wildcats, 25-23. The Bengals finished 1 for 6 on the power play, and JWU was 1 for 3. Buffalo state will break for the holidays before facing Neumann in the first round of the Norxqwich Tournament in the New Year on Jan. 2.

Wallace, Edwards guide Bengals past RIT BUFFALO, NY – Senior Ashley Wallace (Lockport, NY/Starpoint) poured in a team-high 23 points to lead Buffalo State women’s hoops (4-4) to a 74-66 non-conference victory over RIT (5-3) on Saturday afternoon in Sports Arena. Keyonte Edwards (Buffalo, NY/O’Hara) recorded a career-high 12 rebounds, pacing, the Bengals defense and tallied eight points.

Buffalo State finished the night shooting 39.1 percent (25-64) from the floor, 44.4 percent (4-9) from long range and 55.6 percent (20-36) from the charity stripe. The Bengals also recorded 14 fast break points and outrebounded the Tigers, 58-38. The Bengals returned to action Monday at Pitt-Bradford, where they lost, 77-68. Wallace had her third double-double of the season.

faces,” he said. “Growing up, most guys didn’t have this opportunity to have NFL players hand them Christmas presents. So for us to be able to be put on a platform and be able to give back to the community, it means a lot, but most important, it means more to the kids, just to see them smiling.” Smiles turned into super duper smiles during the latter stages of the gift-giving. With tree-side gifts becoming sparse and a handful of children yet to receive one, a group of Bills players emerged from another room riding bicycles. And the child-sized bikes certainly weren’t for 6-foot-4, 310-pound center Eric Wood or 6-foot5, 343-pound guard Cyril Richardson. They were for the kids, an announcement that drew both laughter and applause from party-goers. “It was great to see,” Sanborn said. Throughout the evening, children got a chance to dine and engage in conversation with Bills players. Rookie cornerback Ross Cockrell noted that was his favorite part of the evening. “Just sitting down and getting a chance to talk with some of the kids about what they go through every day, going to school, what their favorite subjects are and stuff like that,” Cockrell said. “That was the best part about it. “It’s gratifying. Any chance you get to hand out smiles and happiness, it’s

At 8-6, Buffalo can finish no worse than 8-8. It last had a non-losing record in 2004, when Drew Bledsoe was still under center and Mike Mularkey was calling the shots as head coach. The Bills’ secondary shined against the Packers, holding likely MVP Aaron Rodgers to no touchdowns

and two interceptions for the first time in his illustrious career. Recent addition Bacarri Rambo had both picks. While the Bills were victorious, their offense struggled mightily and didn’t find the end zone once. Marcus Thigpen returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown, Dan Carpenter tacked on four field goals, and Mario Williams had a late-game strip-sack of Rodgers that resulted in a safety to round out the team’s scoring. “We have a great defense. We know that those guys are going to make plays for us and we’ve got to take advantage of them,” running

back Fred Jackson said. “We didn’t get in the end zone, which is something you need to do to win games, but as long as our defense keeps us in the game like that and keeps making plays, we have an opportunity to win.” Buffalo will take its staunch defense on the road Sunday when it visits Oakland (2-12). The Raiders are coming off a 31-13 loss to Kansas City but have won two of their last four games, including a Week 13 win over San Francisco. Kickoff is slated for 4:25 p.m. The game will be broadcast on CBS.

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 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 lo-

cal 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 facility 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.”

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

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.

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 friendly residents seemed like an ideal new home. It wasn’t until after moving in that McMahon made another discovery about the center. During the 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’s youngest brother who had passed away years earlier. She was shocked and delighted. After a bit of investigating McMahon found that the picture was part of a school art project that was completed on the 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 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

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.

ECC community rallies together for annual holiday drive The holiday season is a time for communities to come together. For Erie Community College’s community, it’s a time to lift up fellow students pursuing a better future one class at a time. In a drive that was extended because of November’s “Winter Storm Knife,” ECC administration, faculty and students collaborated with the college’s board of trustees to collect and package offerings throughout their three campuses for their annual President’s Holiday Food Drive, which culminated at Williamsville’s North Campus on Dec. 12. The student-led collection of non-perishable food items and/or gift cards— which is now in its seventh year—will aid more than 137 families within the

college’s community, comprised of working students and their families who need an extra hand this holiday season. ECC President Jack Quinn and his staff have organized these efforts every year since he arrived at ECC in 2008. According to Quinn, it’s an effort that’s indicative of the altruism evident throughout the community college’s campuses. “This drive is a true reflection of the holiday hearts within our hallways,” said Quinn. “We have our entire ECC family joining to give what they can to help our students. That’s school spirit, and it’s alive and well around here all year, but especially at this time of year.” Donations have been forthcoming since before

Thanksgiving. The final offerings collected at North Campus—which consisted of more than 35 gift cards and enough food donations to fill more than 100 holiday care packages—will be distributed to families through ECC’s Student Services Office before Christmas. And since 2010, ECC’s Student Government Association (SGA) has teamed a separate toy drive with the President’s Office drive to form a collective initiative even more able to aid ECC students fraught with economic hardships. “The selfless nature of our college’s community has never ceased to amaze me,” said Quinn. “I’m not only thankful, but humbled to be a part of it.”

He received the society’s 2010 “Service To Mankind” award presented at the Diamond Ball. Rodgers received a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy and an MBA from the University at Buffalo, where he serves on the dean of the school of pharmacy’s national industry advisory committee. He resides in Elma with his wife, Susan. All proceeds from the 23rd annual Diamond Ball will be directed toward research of blood cancers, local patient aid, advocacy, educational and community service programs in the chapter area. For more information regarding the Diamond Ball, contact The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at 834-2578.

Jacobs sworn in for second term as Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs was officially sworn in as Erie County’s ninth county clerk. Over 200 hundred of Jacobs’ family, friends and employees attended the ceremony which was held in the Ceremonial Court Room of Old County Hall. The Newell-Faulkner American Legion Post 880 lead the presentation of colors and Buffalo City Court Judge Amy Martoche presided over the ceremony. Jacobs and Judge Martoche were classmates while attending UB Law School. This is Jacobs’ second

term, as he was first elected to the county wide post in November of 2011. Jacobs was re-elected this November with 67 percent of the votes cast. In his remarks, Jacobs thanked his employees at the clerk’s office, “I want you, my staff, to know that your hard work, professionalism and the courtesy in which you deal with our citizens is very much appreciated,” stated Jacobs. Since taking office, Jacobs has solved the major crisis in the clerk’s real estate division

where he discovered millions of dollars of uncashed checks and over 100,000 unreturned mortgages. Over the last two years, Jacobs has recorded a $4 million surplus while introducing new technologies to the auto bureaus, such as an online reservation system. Jacobs has also become known for his success with the Erie County “Thank-AVet” Program, the largest of its kind in New York State, which now has over 1,000 area businesses offering discounts to Erie County veterans.

The Orchard Park & East Aurora Sun / Saturday, December 20, 2014

Keep warm, keep safe (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 monoxide 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 fuelburning 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.

Award presented to Erie County Legislature Recently, the Friends & Neighbors Advocating Better Green Living of WNY (FNABGL) presented their “2014 Communities Gone Green Award” to the Erie County Legislature. All Legislative Districts received Certificates of Recognition. Legislator John Mills (sponsor) and Legislator Lynn Dixon (co-sponsor) were presented with plaques. The Town of Evans was represented by Supervisor Keith Dash. The FNABGL was represented by Bob & Judy Palmer, Dave Stout, Ed Schneider and Bill Henry.

The award was presented for the Promotion of Solar energy by the unanimous vote to Remove the Sales Taxes on Commercial Solar Equipment in 2013 and Residential Solar Equipment in 2008. Since then Erie County has become the top producer of solar electric in New York State. Also as a result of this removal of the Sales Taxes, thousands of new jobs will be created in Erie County, a leader in Clean Renewable Solar Energy.

Tools and tricks to tackle tough, cold weather yard work (NAPSI)—The steps you take now to clean up your yard and put it to bed for the next few months can set the tone for a more productive spring. Helpful Hints Try these tips for an easier and greener yard cleanup: • Remove dead leaves and continue to trim and mow your lawn. Trimming grass at a slightly lower level and raking up fallen leaves prevent matting under debris and snow. • Ready your lawn for next year. Prevent weeds by seeding bare patches, but give seed enough time to establish itself before really cold weather sets in. Now can also be the right time to fertilize to give your lawn the nutrients it’ll need to thrive next spring. • Trim dead or diseased limbs. Storm-damaged or lifeless branches can endanger your home and property. Protect trees and shrubs from further damage by using a chain saw to cut cracked, broken, loose or diseased limbs close to the trunk or nearest branch. A cordless pole saw is another option to safely trim high branches without a ladder.

• Trim those hedges. Trimming hedges can help them keep their shape until they go dormant. Trim hedge sides at a slight angle, with the widest part close to ground level and tapering slightly at the tip. This provides maximum sunlight and reduces heavy hedges in the event of storms and wind damage. • Prepare your tools. Clean, sharp and quality tools make it easier to tackle tough yard tasks. Clean caked dirt and debris from shovels and rakes and sharpen chain saws, pole saws and hedge trimmers. Consider new tools that make yard work easier. For example, there’s a new wave of lithium-ion battery-powered tools that make tackling yard work easier than ever. Homeowners no longer have to sacrifice power and convenience with new cordless tools, such as OREGON’s 40V MAX Cordless Tool Systems. They have all the performance of gas-powered tools, minus the hassles, and, because there’s no fuel to spill or toxic emissions, battery-powered tools are the environmentally friendly landscaping choice.

Legislature supports federal plan to help veterans receive proper psychiatric care The Erie County Legislature has approved a resolution urging the United States Senate to take immediate action to approve the “Clay Hunt SAV Act,” which would provide servicemen and women better mental health care. The bill would specifically emphasize the need for better evaluation and treatment of psychiatric conditions through the VA and as a result would reduce the suffering of thousands of service members. The Clay Hunt Act calls for speeding up access to mental health care to veterans, including

reservists, boosting VA efforts to hire more psychiatrists, and review all current VA mental health programs for effectiveness. “The legislature unanimously approved a resolution strongly urging the Senate to approve the Clay Hunt SAV Act and ensure that our heroes are receiving the best care possible. A reported 8,000 soldiers commit suicide each year. That number is incredibly troubling and experts in the field believe the merits of this bill can properly address failures in the system that lead to a high

rate of veterans taking their own lives,” said Chairman John Mills. There is a great need for improved mental health care. An estimated 600,000 soldiers suffer from traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder and depression. The act is named after Clay Hunt, a Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was wounded during his service and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He became active in helping other veterans, including as a member of Team Rubicon, a non-profit

group organization that puts skilled veterans together with first responders to aid in national or international catastrophes and emergencies. Hunt was 28 when he committed suicide in March of 2011. Currently, the bill has been delayed in the Senate and supporters are hoping to bring it up for a vote in 2015. The resolution of support from the Erie County Legislature will be forwarded to Senator Charles Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.

“Qualified high school students are offered a unique opportunity to spend an academic year, three-month program or summer holiday in Europe, Asia, North and South America, New Zealand, Australia or South Africa as part of the ASSE International Student Exchange Program,” announced Leanne Bell, eastern director of ASSE. “Until a few years ago only a fortunate few could afford to spend a school year or summer abroad. ASSE has changed all of that,” Bell continued. Students 15 to 18 years of age qualify on the basis

of academic performance, character references and a genuine desire to experience abroad with a volunteer host family in one of the many ASSE host countries. “ASSE families abroad are carefully screened to provide a caring environment in which students can learn the language and culture of their host country,” Bell explained. Summer exchange students live with a family abroad who might speak some English. Year and shorter-term three-month program students need not have learned a foreign language as they receive

language and cultural instruction as part of the ASSE program. ASSE students attend regular high school classes along with their new teenage friends. “ASSE exchange students learn by living the language and culture of their new host country,” Bell added. The ASSE International Student Exchange Programs was founded by the Swedish National Department of Education and cooperates with the Canadian Provincial Ministries of Education and the New Zealand Ministry of Education. ASSE also provides in-

ternational opportunities for American families to host students from Europe, the Republics of the former Soviet Union (in the U.S.A.), South America, Asia, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. These select students are 15 to 18 years old and will attend the local high school for a semester or an academic year. Students or families interested in more information about the ASSE programs should call 1-800-677-2773 or visit ASSE’s website at www. asse.com.

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.
