Keem: snowstorm a ‘once-in-a-lifetime event’

By Tim Fenster

ORCHARD PARK SUN EDITOR

If you think this last week brought the worst winter weather of all time, you’re not alone. Officials in Orchard Park and East Aurora say this week’s storm, dubbed both Snowvember and Winter Storm Knife, was worse than the infamous blizzard of ’77, which resulted in 23 deaths.

As of press time, this last snowstorm caused 13 deaths.

Both Orchard Park and the Town of Aurora lay in a lake effect snow band that dropped more than six feet of powder in some places, causing Orchard Park Police to initiate a travel ban from Tuesday through Friday.

“This is hopefully a once-ina-lifetime event,” Supervisor Patrick Keem said. “I lived through the blizzard of ’77 and this is worse.”

Police, Department of Public Works and Highway Department crews - with help from the state, neighboring municipalities and the National Guard - have been working diligently over the past days to clear roads and rescue abandoned motorists, as well as respond to emergencies caused by the snow.

Orchard Park Police Lt. Patrick McMaster said police have responded to multiple calls of possible roof collapses, including a barn that had to be evacuated. However, he says the number of calls has so far exceeded the number of roofs that have actually collapsed.

McMaster urged residents

Scenes like this were all too common throughout WNY and social media sites, as snow pounded homes and in some places completely covered cars. to follow the driving ban, which was implemented early Tuesday morning, during the worst of the snowfall.

Residents who broke the driving ban caused an unnecessary burden for police, by blocking roads and in many cases becoming trapped themselves.

While Southtowns residents may be no strangers to heavy snowfall, McMaster pointed that the snowstorm was far worse than anything the area experienced in recent memory.

“I don’t recall a storm anything like this. This has been larger and more sustained {than the blizzard of ’77},” McMaster said Friday. “It has crippled Orchard Park significantly.”

Keem commended the efforts of local police and highway crews, whom he says worked almost without sleep for days on end.

In many cases, National Guardsmen had to come in heavy-duty, Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected {MRAP} vehicles to ferry Orchard

Park police officers to work.

“They’ve been remarkable,” Keem said.

With temperatures warming up next week, concerns are shifting the snow to flooding. However, residents in East Aurora may breathe easy - officials say that the lack of ice in Tannery Brook makes flooding there unlikely.

“The brook is not frozen.

I don’t see {flooding} as an issue at this point,” said Matthew Hoeh, superintendent of East Aurora’s Department of Public Works.

Kaitlyn Kelly named AFP’s WNY Outstanding Young Philanthropist 2014

The Association of Fundraising Professionals named Kaitlyn Kelly, a senior at Orchard Park High School, Western New York’s 2014 Outstanding Young Philanthropist.

Kelly was nominated by the Hospice Foundation in May, and was honored to learn of AFP’s selection in August.

Kelly was presented with her award by Mary Alice Demler and Scott Levin from WGRZ Channel 2, during a luncheon at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens on Nov. 12.

The ceremony, attended by fundraising professionals from all over WNY, was in celebration of National Philanthropy Day. Kelly was extremely honored to be included in this outstanding group of community-focused individuals and companies.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2014

The nomination was in recognition of Kelly’s dedication and efforts to encourage involvement and donations for a volunteer organization.

Kelly has been very involved in the Hospice Foundation, which is a charity particularly close to her heart. She had participated in the annual Hospice Memorial Walk for several years, and two years ago organized her own Walk Team, after her grandmother lost her battle with colon cancer. She was the youngest Team Captain in 2014 and recruited more than 20 walkers, raising more than $4,000 for the Hospice Foundation as Team Captain.

East Aurora officials are considering changes to their method of billing organizations for temporary use permits, which are required to hold events on village property.

Trustee Randolph West raised the issue at the East Aurora Village Board’s Monday, Nov. 17 meeting, offering two suggestions for new methods to bill organizations for these permits.

The first would be a fixed fee. This fee would be determined by estimations on the overall cost to the village for hosting events of its scale.

Larger events would have to pay a significantly higher fee, because as West pointed out, larger events – particularly those that result in the closure of major roads – are the ones that have the biggest financial impact on the village.

“There really are seven events that have significant costs attached to them,” West said.

Those events include Music Fest, the Fourth of July Parade, the Art Show, the Sidewalk Sale, the Taste of East Aurora, the car show and Carolcade – each of which causes the closure of Main St. Village officials discussed setting a fixed fee close to $1,000 for these types of events. That amount would help the village cover costs for the extra police needed to close roads and provide security at the event.

The other method West proposed is for the village to charge organizations after the fact for those costs.

“We should seek to cover these costs,” West said.

“And we should seek to cover the costs by doing one of {these} two things.”

Village officials said after the fact billing for events used to be the village’s policy. However, Village Administrator Bryan Gazda said this policy may be questionable and raise issues with the New York State Constitution. The New York Conference of Mayors is not in support of this policy, Gazda said, because they feel it may violate the state’s constitution.

While it may be perfectly OK for the village to bill organizations for using a space or facility, the issue becomes murkier when municipalities bill organizations for police and Department of Public Works services.

“When it comes down to the actual personnel services … that’s when it comes down to a more finite discussion of what is legal and what isn’t legal,” Gazda said. “There’s a school of thought that because people are paying for these services already, you can’t charge an extra fee.”

Aurora Players hold 80th anniversary fundraiser

The Aurora Players will perform “Miracle on South Division Street.” This Buffalo based comedy/drama is about the The Nowak family of South Division Street.

Clara Nowak and her three grown children have believed all their lives they were graced on a Christmas Eve over 60 years ago with a heavenly visit by the Blessed Mother. And to honor this “miracle”, the family patriarch created a 17 foot shrine! This shrine has stood as a symbol of faith, pride and hope amidst the urban decline of thisonce thriving Plish neighborhood.

But on Christmas Eve in 2010, they are about to learn the truth behind the “miracle” that might threaten everything they believe in. Come join the Nowaks as they discover new meaning to Faith, Family and Forgiveness.Please note, this play is written with some adult language.

Written by former Buffalonian Tom Dudzick and Directed by Ken Smyntek.

However, Gazda also pointed out that many other municipalities – including many in New York State – have this billing after the fact policy, and none have been challenged in court.

“We could bill them after the fact and see if it gets challenged,” suggested Trustee Peter Mercurio.

Trustee Ernest Scheer voiced support for the billing after the fact option, pointing out that many area schools charge for use of their facilities. He also feels that doing so is in the best interest of village taxpayers.

Shop around the world at the 10th Annual International Artisan Fair

Plan to do some unique holiday shopping at Orchard Park Presbyterian Church when its 10th annual International Artisan Fair is held on Saturday, December 6, beginning at 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and again Sunday, Dec. 7 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The church’s Fellowship Hall will be transformed into a market square, with handcrafted items displayed from around the world. In addition, items created by local crafters, including the Church’s Mission Workshop and Crossroads Springs will be for sale. Shoppers will find handcrafted soft goods, jewelry, cards and many one of a kind, specialty items. Shoppers will have the opportunity to purchase fairly traded coffee, tea and chocolate from Equal Exchange, olivewood ornaments directly from the Holy Land, delicious soup mixes from the Women’s Bean Project and bracelets made by church youth to benefit a four-year old youngster’s medical treat-

“The marketplace style set-up creates an atmosphere designed to inspire shoppers to purchase holiday gifts with a purpose and a message of hope,”

said Linda Babcock, who organizes the Artisan Fair each year.

The International Café will also be back by popular demand, as youth from OPPC will be serving

homemade breads, soups and beverages from 11 a.m. till 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Youth will gratefully accept a donation for lunch, which will go toward their Summer Mission Trip.

Celebrate the season at the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights

The holiday season is quickly approaching, and while for many that can mean snow and cold, on the fairgrounds it means it is almost time for the Festival of Lights. The largest event of its kind in WNY, the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights boasts more than one million twinkling lights, a nearly two mile drive through route, and eight buildings to explore.

Celebrating a decade of holiday magic, the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights is guaranteed fun by the carload.

This year, the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights will be open for seventeen days, with opening day coming on the Friday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 28, and will run every weekend through Dec. 28. The Festival is open from 5 to 9 p.m., with the buildings and grounds staying open until 10 p.m.

The Fairgrounds Festival of Lights prides itself not only in being the largest event of its kind, but an affordable one too. For just $20 per carload, families will get to experience a winter’s night out. For those who plan in advance, presale tickets are available now

through Nov. 29, for just $10 at participating Tops Friendly Markets locations. At the gate, guests who present an original Tops Friendly Markets receipt will receive $5 off of regular admission, making the event just $15.

Admission to the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights includes a wide array of activities and holiday fun. There will be two live shows inside of Expo Hall; Nels Ross Comedy Show and the Kids Game Show. Outside there will be a 16-foot snow globe for groups to get inside and take a photo, and a building will become the stage for an incredible Dancing Light Show. One hundred and fifty trees will twinkle with lights inside Christmas Tree Forest, and crafty kids can take part in Tops Winterland Workshop.

This is all in addition to the nearly two miles of illuminated displays in the drive through portion of the event.

The showpiece of this celebratory 10th season will without a doubt be the North Pole Experience. This 10,000-square-foot walk through display will transport guests to the North

Pole. After traveling through a town built for elves and Santa’s workshop, visitors will come face to face with the Claus household. There on the front porch Santa will be meeting guests, hearing wish lists, and taking photos. Guests will then exit the experience by “trekking” through the artic, complete with penguins, ice, and the Northern Lights.

For an additional cost guests may ride the rides on Santa’s Magical Midway, or take a spin on the all new Express Train. For those brave enough, the Fairgrounds Festival of Lights will feature Snowzilla, a seventy foot long inflatable tubing track. Cookie decorating, s’mores, shopping, and other concessions will be available for purchase as well.

The Fairgrounds Festival of Lights will be hosting various special events, including the return of Walk Around Week (Dec. 15 - 18). This week allows a unique view of the lights, as families travel the nearly two miles of displays on foot. Other events include Frozen Festival (Nov. 28-29), Retro Winter (Dec. 5), the Buf-

Dunkin’ Donuts supports WNY animals

Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, every-day stop for coffee and baked goods, will offer Western New York residents a reward for good behavior when they show support for the second-oldest humane society in the country.

Now through Dec. 5, all participating Dunkin’ Donuts locations throughout the greater Buffalo area will offer guests a special heart-shaped donut as a thank you when they make a $1 donation to the SPCA Serving Erie County at participating restaurants. The initiative marks the fourth year in a row that Dunkin’ Donuts has partnered with the SPCA Serving Erie County. The program has raised more than $30,000 since its inception in 2011.

“Dunkin’ Donuts is honored to support the SPCA Serving Erie County, which provides high quality care and educational programs to support fair and humane treatment of animals in Western New York,” said Tammy Monks, field marketing manager, Dunkin’ Donuts. “I encourage residents throughout the greater Buffalo area to enjoy a special treat at Dunkin’ Donuts while supporting the SPCA Serving Erie County.

The specialty donut is a yeast shell filled with cream and topped with blue frosting in honor of the SPCA Serving Erie County. The availability of the heartshaped donuts leads up to the 11th annual Radiothon to benefit the SPCA Serving Erie County, which will return to the airwaves on Dec. 3-6. During the fourday event, local radio stations WBEN 930 AM and 107.7 FM and Star 102.5 FM will give a voice to the animals through a live broadcast from the SPCA’s headquarters in Tonawanda to raise funds for the SPCA Serving Erie County and its services.

Dunkin’ Donuts recently announced a donation of $5,000 in coffee to support Mayor Byron Brown’s senior care initiatives through the City of Buffalo Division of Senior Services.

The coffee donation will be distributed to senior centers throughout Buffalo, NY. The announcement came today during a free breakfast provided by Dunkin’ Donuts to 75 seniors at the RichmondSummer Senior Center in Buffalo. Local seniors dined with Mayor Brown, whose efforts to enhance the quality of life for Buffalo seniors include the development of affordable senior housing, providing senior transportation, organizing various senior activities and a senior discount program, along with the establishment of a new a senior satellite center in the historic Broadway Market and sponsorship of community events, such as a picnic attended by 1,300 seniors in Buffalo’s Front Park in August 2014.

“Our senior citizens are the backbone of the City of Buffalo and I am proud to partner with Dunkin’ Donuts to further honor our seniors, giving them the respect and admiration they deserve,” said Mayor Brown. “While Buffalo is entering a new era of opportunity, with over $5 billion in new economic development activity that’s creating over 12,000

Seniors can also take advantage of a 10-percent discount on all orders at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants.

“Dunkin’ Donuts is

proud to partner with Mayor Brown to support senior centers throughout the City of Buffalo,” said Doug Spolyar, Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee. “The seniors of today have spent decades working hard to make Buffalo the great city we know and love.

We’re thrilled to show our gratitude and appreciation through this donation and by keeping Buffalo seniors running on Dunkin.”

Dunkin’ Donuts and Mayor Brown also announced a program to benefit City of Buffalo employees. By showing

Wellenzohn aims to add exclamation Reinholz earns point to standout career in OP’s pool AMCC honors

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

She’s the unquestioned best diver in Western New York.

She hasn’t lost a dual meet since her freshman year. She’s a two-time defending sectional champion, as of two weeks ago, after cruising to a first-place finish at the Section VI Championships, where she broke her own 11-dive school record (483.10).

There’s only one thing left for Morgan Wellenzohn to do before leaving behind a crowning career at Orchard Park and heading off to dive at Michigan State on scholarship — win a state title.

The senior gets that chance at the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Girls Swimming and Diving Championships Friday and Saturday (Nov. 21 and 22) at Ithaca College.

“It feels really good knowing I’m the best at something, at least in this area,” Wellenzohn said.

“But I want to be best in the state, that’s the goal.”

Wellenzohn put together a third-place showing at the state meet in 2013, and has done everything possible since to prepare for a higher finishing spot.

The strenuous college selection process is done, and in splendid fashion, no less.

“Everyone was telling me I was going to get a couple calls, but I didn’t expect them to be from schools this big,” said

Morgan Wellenzohn, a senior, has achieved plenty during her varsity diving career at Orchard Park, but one thing that has always evaded her is a state championship. She had one last shot to add one at the NYSPHSAA Girls Swimming and Diving Championships Nov. 21 and 22.

Wellenzohn, who chose Michigan State over fellow Division I programs Canisius, Niagara and Rutgers. “Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined going to a Big 10 school. It’s all really exciting.”

The training since states last season has been nonstop.

Over the summer Wellenzohn joined the USA Diving junior club.

That led to her qualifying for USA Diving Age Group Nationals in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she had exclusive company. Only 27 other

divers aged 16-18 across the nation earned their way into the three-meter diving event.

“Morgan’s dedication and motivation is second to none,” OP diving coach Tom Lengel said. “She knew what was at stake and for four years she did what she had to do to get there. Motivation is not a problem; you don’t need to motivate her. She knows what’s going on.”

Lengel was present at states last year, just not as Wellenzohn’s coach. He was a public address announcer, and was wowed

by Wellenzohn outplac-

ing her original seeding by 20 spots.

The first-year diving coach with the OP girls program expects another striking performance.

Wellenzohn has been too focused, too technical all season to not vie for the win.

“If she’s not there at the top, she’s going to be darn close to it,” Lengel said.

“I’m not one to predict things, but it’s one of those things where she has crossed every T and dotted every I. She has done everything. The diving list is going to be the same exact list she did at

sectionals, so there is no unfamiliar dives. It just has to happen.”

It would be a remarkable close to a high school career that was late getting off the ground, or board, if you will.

We l l e n z o h n s t a r t e d gymnastics when she was 4 years old, continuing on until injuries forced her to stop at 14. The twists and motions she became so comfortable performing made going to diving a logical transition.

For most of her life, Kylie Reinholz was obsessed with basketball. She was all about the sport.

It led her to attending Nichols, where she played on the girls varsity team all four of her years there, becoming the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer (1,193). It led her to Buffalo State, where she played a season before transferring to Hilbert. And of course, Reinholz, an Orchard Park resident, played basketball for the Hawks as a sophomore last winter.

But that’s where it ends.

Reinholz said she likely isn’t going to continue on the court this season. Something else came up.

And that something is running.

Earlier this month, Reinholz, now a junior at Hilbert, was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Year.

The announcement came after Reinholz won an AMCC individual title Nov. 1, and a season after she was the conference’s Newcomer of the Year.

Lady Blue Devils EA runners continue strong finish set to participate at states

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

East Aurora girls swimming and diving coach Art Aungst doesn’t bother with the talking about winning.

He’s more interested in simply achieving it.

“I’ve been around long enough to know that it’s not talking about winning, or talking about goals,” said Aungst, the renowned coach who has had a world of success with the boys and girls programs at Orchard Park over the years.

“It’s doing the nitty-gritty every single day that leads

to those things. They have been very focused, very intense.”

Aungst’s let-the-resultsdo-the-talking approach has had a positive affect in his first year at EA. A handful of Lady Blue Devils are headed to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Championships Friday and Saturday (Nov. 21 and 22) at Ithaca College. And that comes after EA won an ECIC III title and the Class A crown at ECIC Championships last month.

“I’m ecstatic we did as well as we did, but I’m honestly not surprised based on what I saw day in and day out,” Aungst said.

Hilbert’s Hamister named second-team All-AMCC

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

The void was too much for Matt Hamister.

After a prolific two-year varsity soccer career at Orchard Park, the 2011 high school graduate went on to play on Buffalo State’s team.

But he lasted just a year in the program, deciding to take the 2012 season off while staying at the school as a sophomore.

Almost immediately he missed the daily grind of practice and competing in the games. There was no way he wasn’t going to return to the sport.

“It was weird going to school and not playing because it was the first time I had done that since probably fifth grade,” said Hamister, a 2010 All-WNY second teamer at OP. “It was definitely a total different lifestyle. I knew I wanted to play again.

“It just worked out. I had a

couple friends at Hilbert, so I decided to transfer and go play with them.”

The transfer to Hilbert was executed for the fall of 2013, when Hamister was an academic junior and an athletic sophomore.

And there was no lull in the OP grad’s game. No sign he had only played recreationally for nearly two years.

The midfielder scored eight times that season to make third team All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference. He furthered his skills this past season, as he gained additional votes to become a second team All-AMCC selection earlier in November.

The 6-foot-2 Hamister ranked fourth in the conference with 13 goals while adding four assists in 2014.

The layoff between collegiate games, Hamister said, was essentially a non-factor.

“It honestly wasn’t tough,” Hamister said. “It felt like I never left. It just seemed

HILBERT ATHLETICS

Matt Hamister scored 13 goals and had four assists this past season. like ‘OK, here we go. This is what I have always done.’

It really wasn’t too big of an adjustment. Knowing a

couple guys on the team, that definitely made the transition a lot easier, too.”

What Hamister has “always

done” is net goals. He has an uncanny knack for it.

His height offers a significant advantage on set pieces.

Couple that with a lethal boot, and it’s no wonder he scored more than half of the Hawks’ 24 goals in 2014.

Hamister’s elite scoring prowess was present in high school, too. He scored 33 times over two years with the Quakers and chipped in 30 assists.

Hamister’s approach is shots, shots and more shots.

In just two seasons at Hilbert, he has become the program’s all-time leader in shots on goal (58, 10 more than second place) and is second in shots attempted (116, three behind the leader).

That coincides with Hamister sitting third in the school’s history in goals (21, seven behind first) and points (47, while the top spot occupant, Jacob Opala, has 74).

He has a realistic shot at becoming the best offensive

player — statistics-wise — Hilbert has ever seen.

“For the most part, I’m always trying to figure out the best way to score, wherever I am on the field,” Hamister said. “My teammates definitely make it easier for me, too. They find me in open positions where I’m able to get higher-quality chances to shoot.”

But with the credit Hamister has received over his first two years playing in the conference, Hilbert hasn’t been handed as much. The Hawks have gone 10-23-1 over 201314, and Hamister would like to change that course.

As long as Hamister keeps shooting, that’s entirely plausible.

“I didn’t really think about it, but it’s nice to get the individual recognition,” Hamister said. “But I would much prefer to get team recognition — for us to win more games. Hopefully that’ll come next year.”

Junior placed 78th at regionals Musshafen eager to keep EA boys swim tradition afloat “Reinholz” from page 5

The grandeur of the accolades is enhanced when it’s found that those are the only two years Reinholz has ever run cross country. And she’s become addicted enough to it to forego playing basketball.

The junior ran at NCAA Division III Mideast Regionals Saturday (Nov. 15) in Newville, Pennsylvania, placing 78th out of 370 (24:02.40). That ended Reinholz’ cross country season, but her success extended it well into the beginning of basketball. She’s ready to fully commit to her newfound niche, even if it means leaving an old one behind.

“It’s just a transition,” Reinholz said. “There was a part of my life that I loved basketball, but now that love has transitioned to running. It’s kind of filled the void. I don’t even really miss it so much just because I’m so preoccupied with running.”

Reinholz won two other races this season in addition to her conference championship, which she earned by posting a time of 24:21 at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio.

The originality of cross country and the late exposure to it has Reinholz wanting more. The race-to-race timecutting element that drives high school runners to get better, Reinholz is only starting to experience now.

In 2013, her first year in the sport, it took her some time to learn the lingo she’d hear in practice. She’d be told to run “a 400,” but didn’t know far that was, or in what unit it was. When it was time to do a “tempo run” workout, she wasn’t sure what needed to be done.

But as she’s learned the particulars of cross country, she’s found it increasingly thrilling. And she’s soaring,

HILBERT ATHLETICS

Reinholz celebrates her first-place finish at the AMCC championships Nov. 1. which only feeds a growing interest.

“Because I didn’t do it in high school it almost made me more into it, just being a newcomer to the sport,” Reinholz said. “I was so excited to be running. In the beginning you always shave off a lot of time quickly, so to be able to do so well so fast is addicting.

You just want to keep getting better and train harder — to progress.”

The ascendance to the top of the conference didn’t entirely come out of nowhere. Sure, the cross country thing is new, although the results suggest otherwise, but running is not.

A few summers ago, Reinholz began running with her father, John Reinholz, who is a 20-plus-year triathlon veteran. That summer, Reinholz ran three or four times a week on top of biking and swimming sessions as she would complete five triathlons.

John Reinholz’ background in running had never really rubbed off on Kylie Reinholz until then. John Reinholz actually coached his daughter on some basketball teams

through the years.

But the allure of distance running illuminated the more Kylie Reinholz did it. When she made the transfer to Hilbert and found out it had a cross country program, Reinholz was ready to run competitively. She had the required durability and mental fortitude.

“I was in pretty good condition for running,” Reinholz said. “I’m more of a distance, endurance kind of person.

“I didn’t know what to expect at all, but it was definitely a surprise to me, and I think my whole family. They were so used to me always focusing on basketball growing up. They were as surprised as I was that I found success.”

Reinholz may have discovered cross country late, but it’s not going anywhere.

“I am so lucky because running is a sport for life,” Reinholz said. “Even when you’re out of college and not on a team it is something you can always do on your own.

It’s a lifelong sport that I’ll be able to do.”

Really, Musshafen has seen a high capability level in the team as a whole despite limited viewing.

But he said the brilliance, which is an expectancy for EA swim, has also been incomplete because a majority of the Blue Devils are not yearround swimmers.

“We’re pretty raw right now, but the skills are there,” Musshafen said.

Jackson family shows support for D3 athlete with cancer

By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Bills running back Fred Jackson stood at his locker Nov. 17 at One Bills Drive wearing a gray t-shirt that read “D3 Nation” across the chest.

D3 Nation, of course, is the organization Jackson created to help “strengthen bonds and foster pride among Division III athletes,” according to D3Nation.com.

Having played football for a D-III program at Coe College, from where he graduated in 2003, Jackson has long been connected to to Division III athletics.

That connection factored into his decision to visit Mount St. Joseph University during the Bills’ bye week a few weeks ago.

Jackson, along with his wife, Danielle, and their four children, visited the Division III school to see women’s basketball player Lauren Hill play her very first game at the collegiate level.

Hill, a freshman for the Lions, has inoperable brain cancer. And on Nov. 2 — almost an entire year after she was diagnosed and told she’d

COURTESY OF THE BUFFALO BILLS

Bills running back Fred Jackson visited Mount St. Joseph women’s basketball player Lauren Hill, who has cancer, during a game on Nov. 2. have two years to live — Jackson was in Cincinnati to see her score four points in a Mount St. Joseph victory.

The ninth-year NFL veteran said that he admired the passion that Hill exhibited for the game in carrying out her dream despite her condition.

“For her, all she wanted to do was be a competitor and play basketball,” Jackson said.

“I know how that feels, to just

want a chance to do it. That’s all she wanted and it was something that I respected.

“We heard her story and the bye week was perfect that we were able to go. So we decided to go down and show our support.”

While in Ohio, the Jackson family got a chance to meet Hill, who wears the same number as Fred — 22. And it turned out that she shared more

than just a number with him.

Both know what it means to overcome adversity and long odds to live out their dreams.

Jackson said it was inspiring to meet her.

“She’s a fighter. A competitor,” Jackson said.

“She’s someone who just wants to be out there. I was extremely excited to meet her and her family.

“She can inspire not only people in Buffalo, but a lot of people. She’s just that kind of person. She wants to live her dream, and who doesn’t?”

Jackson, who heard of Hill’s story through Twitter, Facebook and just “being a Division III athlete” himself, couldn’t take all of the credit for the Jackson family’s trip to see Hill. He said that his wife deserved much of the credit for organizing the trip and setting up the meeting.

The Jackson family has never shied away from giving back to the Buffalo community, and Fred said that extending their reach beyond the borders of Western New York is something they’ve wanted to do.

“We have an opportunity as professional athletes, we can reach a lot of people and

that’s something I always want to do,” he said. “[Hill’s] story was one that I wanted to put out there, not for myself, but for everybody to hear about different people that are going through different struggles.”

The Associated Press reported on Nov. 18 that Hill was unlikely to play in another basketball game. So far, a Layup4Lauren challenge has raised more than $324,000 for research of the cancer that will shorten Hill’s life. Jackson said he and his family plan to add to that total.

••• Having dropped each of their past two games since the bye week, the Bills’ playoff hopes have taken a bit of a hit recently. They’re looking to end their two-game skid and improve to 6-5 when they take on the New York Jets Monday (Nov. 24).

The game was originally slated to be played Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium, but the inclement weather Western New Yorkers have faced of late forced officials’ hands in postponing the game to Monday at Ford Field in Detroit, where the Bills won a 17-14 decision against the Lions back on Oct. 5.

The Bills beat the Jets (28) in a 43-23 shellacking in which they had six takeaways back on Oct. 26 — their last win. But they’ve since fallen to third place in the AFC East after losses to Kansas City and Miami.

Jackson said he and his teammates aren’t going to mail it in despite their fall in the standings.

“The season’s not over, but we have to play better to get to where we want to be,” he said. “Plain and simple. If we don’t do that, we’re going to be looking at another season wondering what happened.”

Improving in the standings means getting by not just the Jets, but fellow AFC opponents Cleveland (6-4) on Nov. 30 and Denver (7-3) on Dec. 7 over the next few weeks. The Bills also have games remaining against Green Bay, New England and Oakland.

“We still have six games left. We’re not going to come in here and [mail] it in. We can’t do that. The guys in the locker room will not allow ourselves to do that.”

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on CBS.

Rod, Gun & Game: Chilly opening day for WNY deer season

By Forrest Fisher OUTDOOR COLUMNIST

Last Saturday, opening day of big game firearm season in NYS, temperatures in the southern tier hills of Western New York fell far below the freezing mark as they hit 18 and 19 degrees. In valley areas, the northwest wind of 10 to 20 miles per hour brought out the hand warmers, long johns and pull-over hats in high visibility orange color as standard gear for several hundred thousand hunters that take to the NYS woods every year on opening day.

For some that came less than well-prepared with “keepwarm” gear, the walk into the woods and back to the car or deer camp cabin did not take very long.

I hunted in Wildlife Management Unit 9W near Friendship, New York, with my 13 year-old grandson alongside sharing in the heritage of the opening day hunting experience. We whispered back and forth to each other, trying to not think about just exactly how cold the chill factor actually was, but I was shivering after 3 hours.

We were in an elevated tree stand (weather-unprotected), safely tethered to a sturdy

hickory tree, so we were experiencing the full brunt of the frigid breeze.

With four inches of crunchy snow on the ground helping the visibility for all opening day hunters, we counted about a half-dozen gunshot sounds before the official sunrise moment to underscore the easy viewing. Then from sunrise through 8:00 a.m., we noted about 40 or 50 more shots in the distances from our location. At least some folks were seeing deer!

When your tree stand happens to be in a non-deer location, the cold seems colder, the wind seems windier and the time seems to pass very slowly, but there are other things about nature to take stock in. Hunting is not really all about killing deer, it’s also about sharing time with friends and family, watching nature at work, understanding heritage and history, home cooked meals, camp coffee and honest time away from the e-link we all have these days.

We watched three flocks of snow geese soar high above as they flew past our tree stand heading southward, a while later we watched several black squirrels scamper about in their treasure hunt for a breakfast of beech nuts and white oak acorns, and there

There was a wonderful ambience of harmony among wildlife in the woods.

At our camp, nine hunters from as far away as Florida (Jeff Liebler), joined bantering friendship forces on this

opening weekend. None of us was lucky enough to see or score on a deer. Other nearby deer camp groups did harvest deer, as their location was perfect for the moving deer when opening day sunrise occurred.

Yes, there is some degree of location luck to be sure! Hot locations are largely based on available food sources for the doe deer (females), and when the rut is peaking - like it did

this past weekend, the bucks will be near the does that are near the prime available food sources. Food plot hunters scored big.

Dieter Voss, an East Aurora resident, hunted from his 16foot fixed tree stand in the Colden hills near a familiar deer trail with access to a large, cold-weather food plot, and was among the successful scores of NYS deer hunters. Voss used a 12-guage Remington 870 shotgun and old-style, non-sabotted, foster slugs, to down a handsome 8-point buck at only about 20 yards.

Voss had seen this same deer twice during the archery season and admitted, “My heart was pounding so fast, I was not sure I could get the fingers in my two-layer gloves ready to take an effective shot in time when the deer stopped in my narrow shooting lane.

I was able to regain my calm to make a good shot, but right after that, I think my heart rate must have been wild! The deer fell only a few yards away. I waited 30 minutes before going down and suddenly, I was not cold anymore!”

The big buck was only the second deer that Voss has taken with a firearm in his eight years of firearm hunt-

ing, he scored on a doe last year in the same approximate location, but he says, “I really enjoy the warmer weather of archery season.” Voss has scored on three deer with his bow, adding, “Hunting for deer, especially with a bow, is so relaxing. Just getting out there to see the wildlife we always can watch even when the deer don’t show up is great.” Voss teaches high school in Tonawanda.

A short trip to the NYSDEC Deer Check Station in Holland provided much information about the deer, including that it was 3-1/2 years old and weighed approximately 190 pounds field dressed. DEC wildlife biologist, Emilio Rende, said the deer had also sustained several old wounds on his neck from fighting other bucks earlier in the season. In his always friendly and jovial voice tone, Rende added, “We collected data on about 75 deer for opening day Saturday and about that same number for Sunday, making it a typical and successful opening day weekend for WNY.” One thing for everyone in the community to remember, deer hunters make our roadways safer for travel for all of us every hunting season. Not everyone can do it. Thank a deer hunter today!

‘Intelligent’Atendido to swim at states for third straight year after earning sectional crown “Blue Devils” from page 6

Junior Sydney Atendido will swim the 100 breaststroke at states for a third straight year, only this time she enters as Section VI champion of the event. She won the race at sectionals two weeks ago by over a second (1:05.99).

“She’s highly intelligent and she understands it’s how you go through the water, not how hard,” Aungst said of Atendido, who broke the school’s breaststroke record in 2014. “She’s incredibly coachable and very open to suggestions.

Just a really great technical swimmer.”

Atendido will also participate with the two relay teams that qualified — 200

free and 200 medley.

The same 200 medley relay quartet of Atendido, Shelby MacSwan, Emma Brinker and Mary Zagrobelny that took 24th at states (1:53.15) last year will go back in an effort to improve its placement. The team has cut a considerable amount of time since then, racing to a third-place finish at sectionals with a 1:50.49. It’s a time that has them close to setting a new program standard.

“We’re trying to get the school record because we’re really close,” said Brinker, a freshman. “We’re .09 seconds away. Even if we just go around the time that we have been going,

we’ll do better than we did last year.”

Atendido, Brinker, MacSawn and Mary Dunbar comprise the 200 free relay squad.

MacSwan, a freshman, will also race in the 100 fly, an event she holds an EA record in. And she acknowledged the fact that while she was at states in 2013, going for the first time in an individual race is a different dynamic.

But it’s one she’s ready to take on. MacSwan said she’s interested to see how she stacks up with some of New York’s premier swimmers.

“It’s my first time going in an individual event, so

I’m looking forward to the better competition,” said MacSwan, who swam the fly in 59.65 seconds at sectionals to grab third.

“I’m excited to race some of the best people in the state, and hopefully I can do better than how I swam at sectionals.”

Aungst’s proven track record was something that was known among the Lady Blue Devils upon his arrival at EA at the start of the season.

“This season as a whole was a energetic and fun with coach Aungst,” Atendido said. “I trusted what he was saying because obviously he’s a known coach.

It was nice knowing that I

could trust everything that he was saying.”

Aungst, on the other hand, noted the commitment his team had from Day One as a big reason so many are still swimming this late in 2014.

He said on the second or third day on the job, the divers were coming in an hour before the start of two-hour practices. So he opened up that time slot to the swimmers if they wanted to put in a little extra. Well, to the approval of Aungst, soon there were a dozen girls in addition to the divers volunteering for additional time in the pool.

Not knowing any of the girls prior to that, Aungst

said he didn’t know what to expect. What he soon after saw — and is still seeing — is a dedication to results.

“That showed me a lot and that was pretty consistent throughout the year,” Aungst said of high turnouts at the volunteer practices.

As for states, the coach isn’t talking about any goals. He knows what EA is capable of.

“I’m not sure how we’re going to do,” Aungst said.

“We have had a great season so far, and I’m very optimistic. But I think thus far every time we had a big meet, they have done extremely well.

I expect to see some ever better performances.”

‘Girl Code’ star comes to Buffalo

By Lauren Kirchmyer

Kelly active in school, sports, community

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. I’m so fortunate to do it and make a living off of it.”

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,” Peluso said. She loved that being a part of “Girl Code” gave her the opportunity to talk about various insecurities girls face while sharing her own experiences on how she survived them and became the woman she is today. “If I can let girls

Kelly from Page 1 The nomination was also based on Kelly’s strong leadership in both her school and community, and participation in many other charity foundations.

Since seventh grade she has been on the Varsity Bowling team at OPHS and was voted as Captain and MVP (Maroon Key award) for both her sophomore and junior years. She has also donated her time and fundraising efforts to many other volunteer foundations, such as the

Jessimae Peluso brought her hilarious antics to Buffalo last weekend. 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 “Cosmopolitan” 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.”

Though she misses her family and the Western New York accent, the selfproclaimed “lazy kid” learned she could achieve anything when she dedicates herself. “Find something you want so bad you would sacrifice everything to do it,” she said. “I’m fortunate to have found that.”

She hopes to continue writing for magazines and appearing on television.

She is currently working on writing a memoir and is on tour performing stand up.

Peluso came to Buffalo – for her first time ever – to perform at Helium Comedy Club last weekend. “I invite all single firemen to come see my show,” Peluso said.

“I love upstate people. I’m excited to perform for real, hardworking people and stuff my face with delicious Buffalo wings and upstate food.”

This September, Kelly started a dream internship with Bammel Architects in the Village of Orchard Park through an OPHS program.

She will attend college next fall with plans to major in architecture and minor in interior design. Kelly aspires one day to own her own architectural firm where she will be able to give even more to her community.

BuďŹ&#x20AC;alo resident receives first Abandoned kitten Screech is hanging tough annual Bounce Back Award

Screech is a young kitten approximately five months of age. HEART acquired him on Nov. 14 when some people threw him into the HEART Adoption Center in Hamburg and ran off before a HEART volunteer could stop them. It was evident that Screech suffered some type of trauma, as his tail was limp and he was covered in blood-soaked urine.

As bad off as this little guy was, he purred up a storm and was very happy to get a full dish of food.

Screech was taken immediately for medical care where an Xray revealed he had a break in his spine which resulted in loss of bladder and bowel control; he also no blood supply to his back legs. The prognosis was not good, but since Screech did not seem to be in any discomfort the veterinarian agreed to watch him over the weekend and revisit the options on Monday. He was given a steroid to alleviate internal swelling and was showered with love and affection from the veterinary staff. As of

Screech, a five month old kitten, was left at the HEART Adoption center with injuries. the writing of this article Screech is still hospitalized and continues slight improvement each day.

HEART Animal Rescue and Adoption Team volun-

teers have witnessed many miraculous healings of rescue pets that have suffered trauma. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for Screech.

MEET THE AUTHORS Three local thriller writers Gina Fava, Jeff Schober & Steve Besecker will be signing their novels November 29, 2014 from 11am-1pm.

Hosted by: The

Bookworm 34 Elm St., East Aurora, NY 14052 STEPHEN BESECKER

*THE SAMARITAN. After a youth marked by death of his parents and a childhood spent with his shaman grandfather living on the Cattaraugus Indian reservation, Kevin Easter, a child of two worlds, is recruited out of college by the CIA as a tracker of men - bad men. But when Easterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife is brutally murdered in NYC on a brutally hot August night, some in the Agency feel as though their prized asset is exacting his own revenge and the hunter soon becomes the hunted. *Recently optioned by Mace Neufeld, executive producer of the Tom Clancy films.

Please visit StephenBesecker.com

GINA FAVA *THE SCULPTOR. Romeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s serial killer has a way with the ladies...first he wines and dines them, then he carves and plasters them. Alive. Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art, when imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. *The Race is the first book in the Hell Ranger series.

Please visit GinaFava.com

JEFF SCHOBER *BONESHAKER. A nurse from a Buffalo, New York hospital punches out at midnight, then disappears.

Four days later, the investigation falls to detectives Mark Bennett and Salvatore DeAngeles. Despite Augustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat, the case is cold.

The second installment in the series, Boneshaker is crime fiction inhabited by gritty characters who grapple with gray areas. *Broken and Profane is the first book in the series.

The Chris Klug Foundation (CKF) is pleased to announce the winners of the first annual Bounce Back Award, presented by Astellas. The award recognizes two transplant recipients who exhibit a great quality of life. Nominations for the award were open Sept. 16 to Oct. 16. Over 75 nominations came in from 27 states across the country, and CKF staff and board members selected two winners.

Winner Barbara Breckenridge, of Buffalo, is a 15-year kidney transplant recipient.

Since being given a second chance at life, Breckenridge has dedicated her life to advocating for organ and tissue donation. According to Sarah Diina, director of marketing and communications at the Upstate New York Transplant Center, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barbara provides peer counseling for dialysis patients, transplant patients and their families, and newly diagnosed kidney disease individuals. Barbara facilitates a kidney support group at Erie County Medical Center, and had done many radio and television appearances promoting the Donate Life cause.â&#x20AC;? Breckenridge has also won over 31 medals at the Transplant Games, and has traveled to Australia, Sweden and South Africa to compete. Breck-

enridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tireless advocacy embodies the spirit of the Bounce Back Award.

Winner David Miller, of Semmes, Ala., received a liver from the family of a 13-year-old boy who lost his life after a tragic fall. Their selfless decision to donate their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organs gave Miller a second chance at life.

Since his transplant, Miller has not let any obstacle slow him down. He educates high school students to teach their peers about organ and tissue donation and to register them as donors. Through his efforts, his group registered 863 organ donors. Miller has also won at the World Transplant Games and participates in 5K runs. Miller leads by example and is truly deserving of the Bounce Back Award.

The winners and one guest each will travel to Aspen, Colo. for the Chris Klug Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth annual Aspen Summit for Life weekend Dec. 5-6. CKF will host the winners and provide flights, lodging and tickets to all Summit for Life weekend events. The Bounce Back Award will be presented on Dec. 6 on top of Aspen Mountain in front of 400 racers and CKF supporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are thrilled by the response to the first annual Bounce Back Award, pre-

sented by Astellas,â&#x20AC;? said Beth Slater, executive director, CKF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We read so many amazing stories of what is possible after a lifesaving transplant. Picking just two winners was an incredibly difficult task, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so proud of Barbara and David and the way they live their lives.â&#x20AC;?

Chris Klug, founder and chairman of CKF, looks forward to welcoming the Bounce Back Award winners to Aspen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more excited to welcome Barbara and David to my hometown of Aspen to celebrate life together and recognize their volunteerism to help others in the transplant community today. All over the country our Donor Dudes volunteers support our work and help us get the word out about donation.

Both Barbara and David are officially Donor Dudes. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to recognize both winners here in Aspen at the ninth annual Aspen Summit for Life.â&#x20AC;?

Becoming a registered organ and tissue donor is a way to have a lasting legacy, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as simple as going to www.chrisklugfoundation. org to sign up. For more information on this program or on the Chris Klug Foundation, contact Beth Slater at 970-618-7120.

Localâ&#x20AC;? mailboxes placed outside the Erie County Auto Bureaus located in the Northtown Plaza, Eastern Hills Mall and Urbandale Plaza shopping centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When customers visit these locations, they are supporting local businesses,â&#x20AC;? said Jacobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that residents who are buying local also consider renewing their vehicle registrations locally by picking up our signature green envelopes.â&#x20AC;?

Taxpayers should know that by not renewing their vehicle registration directly with the County Clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, residents lose 12.7 percent per renewal, which totals over $1.5 million annually. This revenue is critical to the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund to support vital programs and services important to the community.

Motorists can simply place their registration renewal form and check, made payable to the Erie County Clerk, in the postage-paid green envelope and drop it in the signature green box outside the Erie County Auto Bureau locations or any mailbox that is convenient for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to encourage individuals to support the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy and patronize locally-owned businesses on Small Business Saturday,â&#x20AC;? said Jacobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Renew Localâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign does just that, while making it an easy and accessible option for motorists to keep much needed revenue in Erie County.â&#x20AC;?

The signature green envelopes are available at several convenient locations throughout Erie County including your local clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, the Buffalo and Erie County Public Libraries, Dunn Tire and the Erie County Auto Bureau.
