Many studies have shown the positive effects music has on the brain – especially in young children. According to a story on PBS. org, some of those effects are improved language development, improved motor skill development, increased IQ and higher test scores. Mary Dunn has been teaching a program called Children & Music Together at the Kenan Center for the last 17 years for children 3 months to 3 years and stresses the fact that while her class may be centered on music, her students learn far more than that. “We’re building coordination, balance, language development, motor skills so besides just music being introduced, they’re also getting a lot of cognitive development,” said Dunn, who has a Bachelors degree

in early childhood education. “I feel like music is a natural part of a toddler’s development. Toddlers and young children just love to move to music.” Dunn teaches the class to two age groups – “The Wonderfully New” group, which is 3 months to 17 months and “The World Around Me” group, which is 18 months to 3 years. Parents are required to stay with their child through the 45-minute session so it is could be a great bonding time for parents and children as well. There are no more than 10 children per class, which Dunn, who previously taught at public school, says turns the class into a family-type environment. Because of the young age of the students, the classes are very flexible – especially in the baby group.

Two hundred and ninetysix registered runners lined up outside of the Lockport Public Library in 22 degree weather, 11 mph winds and moderate snowfall this Valentine’s Day in order to help send kids to camp this upcoming summer. The 10-mile run was first created by YMCA employees and avid runners Goose Grey, John Chew and Alex Chiara as a fun activity for the community to come out an participate in. “The race was never a money maker,” said Jeff Tracy, the race director. The first race brought in 12 runners and the money raised went back into the cost of the race. However, today the race brings together over 300 of the toughest, heartiest runners from all over the Western New York area. Twenty-six years after the first race took place, Tracy, the former Camp Kenan Director, took over as the race director of the Y-10 race, coming up with

Residents encouraged to keep fire hydrants accessible for emergencies Niagara County’s fire coordinator urged county residents to ensure fire hydrants are dug out, noting that the extra time firefighters spend shoveling their way to buried hydrants can prove disastrous during a fire. “During an emergency and especially a fire, time is critical and every second counts. The extra minutes that a firefighter spends digging out a fire hydrant can make a significant difference in how quickly a
fire can be extinguished and damage limited,” Fire Coordinator Jonathan Schultz said this morning, noting that this winter’s harsh snowfall totals and long-term below-freezing temperatures had made access to fireplugs a concern for county firefighters. Schultz asked residents to be mindful of where hydrants are in their neighborhoods. “I’m asking residents and business owners to consider ‘adopting’ a hydrant
or two near their business or residence this winter by keeping them clear of snow,” Schultz said. “This is critical to public safety at a time of year when there are increased fire hazards from heaters and indoor fireplaces.” Schultz offered advice to neighbors pitching in to clear hydrants. “Snow should be removed about three feet away from the hydrant in all directions, with a pathway cleared between the
hydrant and the roadway, so your local firefighters can access them readily if they need to,” Schultz said. Schultz asks residents to clear a perimeter of about 3 feet around the hydrant so firefighters have room to work. He also asks a path be cleared from the street to the hydrant. For more information, please call the Niagara County Public Information Office at 439-7241.

Runners really enjoy the challenge of the Y-10 course YMCA • from page 1 camp…that’s our whole focus,” Camp Kenan Director Luke Kantor said. “It’s why we do the race series… we always find ways to benefit the kids.” The “Y” works to get kids out to experience resident camp and day camp with the help of their race series and annual sport campaigns. The YMCA’s pancake breakfast, Y-10 and Polar Bear Race (to take place Feb. 21) all tie together in order to raise funds for kids who are unable to get the
camp experience. For Orchard Park resident and south town YMCA member Dylan Tinnesz, he enjoys coming out and running for the YMCA. This is Tinnesz’s second year participating in the race, where he finds the challenge of running the hills and the snow to be what he enjoys the most about this particular race. “It’s good to run for the YMCA races because they give to charity,” Tinnesz said. “[The runners] get the

bigger picture,” Kantor added. “They know that this is for sending kids to camp and for it’s a good cause.” The 10-mile race consisting of several hills including the largest hill on Market Street as well as the windiest street with snow drifts on Harrington Street may just be the reason runners turn out for this event. “[Runners] know it’s the worst ten miles of their life, yet they still come out for it,” Kantor said. “And the worst the weather the more people show.”
“The runners really look forward to the race all year because of how challenging the course is and because of the [weather] conditions,” Tracy said. This year the race has officially been certified as a solid 10-mile race for the first time in the 44 years the race has taken place. Tracy hopes that this will help encourage runners to come out and participate as he continues to hope to see the race keep growing and eventually be able to say that they hit 500 runners.

Rebekah’s Pathway celebrates one year anniversary of hospice care Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center and Niagara Hospice recently marked the one-year anniversary of Rebekah’s Pathway that opened on Feb. 5, 2014. Rebekah’s Pathway is a collaboration between Niagara Hospice and Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center that provides the first and only dedicated hospice unit in a skilled nursing facility in eastern Niagara County. Niagara Hospice Director of Hospice Facility Services, Danielle Burngasser, RN, BSN, CHPN said: “As the only hospice provider in Niagara County, we are privileged to collaborate with Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center to ensure nursing home residents in need of hospice services have access to specialists in the field, as well as extra hands to provide more care and more visits when it’s needed most.” Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center is also a non-profit facility, sponsored by the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, that provides long-term care and rehabilitation services as well as respite care. “This collaboration over the past year has proven to be a great success by providing even more comprehensive end-of-life care to our residents,” said Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center Director of Admissions & Marketing, Lisa Lundy. “Our staff work closely with Niagara Hospice staff and volunteers to provide the very best comfort care to these residents, as well as support their families during what

Rebekah’s Pathway has nine dedicated beds for residents in need of hospice care. The unit consists of one private room and four large double rooms, a lounge
area for residents and family members, a hospitality room for visiting family, and a beautifully landscaped and furnished outdoor courtyard during summer months. In addition to the individualized care received from the Odd Fellow & Rebekah Rehabilitation & Health Care Center staff, Niagara Hospice complements that care by providing additional staff, volunteers, resources and services to the residents and their families. Each resident in the hospice program has an individual plan of care developed to meet the resident’s physical, spiritual, and psychosocial

needs as well as maximize their quality of life. Additional benefits of the collaboration include reduced hospitalizations and fewer emergency room visits. With the collaboration, Niagara Hospice added the new position of Hospicetality Advocate to the hospice interdisciplinary team. The Hospicetality Advocate works with residents on the hospice unit and their family members to maximize comfort, care and support. The advocate also works in concert with the facility recreation director and other staff to implement programs for residents that help improve the quality of their days while dealing with serious illness or decline. Kay Dekker, Vice President of Hospice Services at Niagara Hospice said: “Collaborations such as this are unique and their success depends on every individual involved. We are fortunate to have an exceptional partner here in Lockport in the dedicated Odd Fellow staff, filling an essential need for the skilled nursing facility population in eastern Niagara County.” Dekker also said that when a resident receiving hospice care passes, the door is not closed on the family. Family members have the benefit of bereavement services from Niagara Hospice for thirteen months. For more information, visitwww.niagarahospice.org or call 439-4417.

Stocking the pantry to beat a winter storm When the weather is cold and the snow is blowing, I truly appreciate a wellstocked pantry. When everyone is rushing to the grocery store before a winter storm, I’m safe and warm at home enjoying time with my family. If you have a well-stocked pantry you can prepare many delicious, healthy meals that are quick and easy to
prepare. It takes time to have a well-stocked panty. It is expensive to go out and buy everything you need during one shopping trip but if you purchase a few items that are on sale every week, you will be prepared in a month or two. After that, just maintain your supply and possibly purchase perishables to com-
pliment dishes. There are many resources listing “must have” pantry items. Here are some suggestions for your pantry: canned tomato, dried and canned fruit, pasta, rice, cream soup, canned meat, canned vegetables (try roasted red pepper or artichoke hearts), flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices, olive
oil, vinegar, oatmeal, cornmeal, dried beans, stock (chicken, beef, and vegetable), salsa, and breadcrumbs. By having these items on hand, you will be ready for a winter storm or unexpected guests. It also helps on nights when you are late getting home from work. Simply open a few cans, heat and enjoy. To keep your ingredients
fresh, remember to rotate your canned goods just like a store and watch the best before dates. To prevent Indian Meal Moth and grain beetles, store your grain based items in glass or hard plastic containers or store the grains in the fridge or freezer. These insects can come into your home on any paper, plastic or cardboard food packag-
ing. Wi t h a w e l l - s t o c k e d p a n t r y, t h e n e x t t i m e the weather report is for stormy weather and slick roads, you can prepare by finding board games and old movies for your family to enjoy together. Cornell Cooperative Extension of Niagara County February Newsletter
Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center thanks WNY community The Buffalo/Niagara region again turned out in a big way Jan. 17 to show its enthusiastic support for Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center with more than 800 people attending Memorial’s sold out annual gala, The Premier. This year marked the gala’s eleventh year at Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, which once again provided five-star food, entertainment, and beautiful accommodations. We were very pleased to
honor two special people for their service to Memorial and the community, Dr. Hak J. Ko and Barry Snyder Sr. Ko, a respected psychiatrist, has served individuals with mental illness for more than 30 years and played a leading role in establishing the new Niagara Wellness Connection Center. Snyder, a lifelong advocate and leader within the Seneca Nation of Indians, is founder of the Seneca Diabetes Foundation and has spent more than five de-
cades working to improve the lives of all members of the Seneca Nation. Enjoying the evening with all our guests was one of the greatest rewards of chairing The Premier 2015 as we loved seeing everyone support this great cause. We are also very grateful to everyone who generously made our textto-pledge drive a success – raising over $16,000 in 10 minutes. Proceeds from The Premier, which has raised well over a million
dollars during the past 11 years, will help build the new Golisano Center for Community Health. It took a supportive community to produce The Premier. We could not have accomplished this without the generous support of more than 80 corporate and individual sponsors. Many thanks to our hosts, Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino and the Seneca Nation of Indians for sponsoring the headline entertainment. We also recognize and
thank them for great service throughout the property that can only be described as above and beyond. The Premier’s silent auction featured unique, high-quality items with a stunning design created by Richard Nashwinter, Teresa Ruffolo and Jan DiPofi. A special thanks goes to our many volunteers. We couldn’t be more grateful for your hard work. WGRZ television news anchor and reporter Maryalice Demler deserves spe-
cial thanks as our returning star and mistress of ceremonies. The Premier 2015 was a fantastic event thanks to the unforgettable support from our sponsors, contributors, volunteers and attendees. Thank you all for your contributions and we hope to see you next year. Christin and Dr. Venkat Kolli Fran and Gary Hall Co-chairs, The Premier 2015

Music class offered to children as young as 3 months Music • from page 1 Dunn tries to fit in 13 to 14 activities per class, but allows the parents to do the activity the best way for their child. “The parents know their child so I give them different ways to do each activity and the parents are able to pick what way is best for their child,” she explained. “It’s nothing cut in stone. I always tell the parents that it’s the process, not the end product. We’re interested in the whole process along the way.” While the classes are flexible, Dunn does try to incorporate a focus for each class
and one focus usually lasts several classes. “I do songs and activities that will enhance that focus,” she said. “Some of the focuses are up and down, fast and slow, forward and backward and rhythmic beats. There’s always something.” Because repetition is the best way for young children to learn, there is a lot of repeating with songs and activities. “It’s a lot of repetition because there is so much development in the brain during this time,” Dunn explained. “There are so many
brain cells developing so the repetition connects the synapses between the brain, helping them to learn.” Despite the activities being switched up each class, Dunn does incorporate a pattern for each class. In the baby group, there is a box of toys in the middle of the room for the children to play with until everyone arrives. Once class is about to start, the kids have cleanup time and sing a song while doing so. This helps with sharing, listening and socialization skills. In the older group, the children come into class
and find their nametag. Then they discuss the color of it and what letter their name starts with. American Sign Language is incorporated into both age groups, with the kids learning simple signs such as up, down, etc. Socialization is one of the key skills learned in Dunn’s class – particularly for the ones who don’t have any siblings. “Sometimes it’s their first time – especially in the baby group – being exposed to other children if he or she an only child,” she said. “It’s amazing how they look at each other and see each other.” Dunn introduces the kids to classical, jazz, folk music, nursery rhymes to music. She also allows them to play with percussion instruments such as drums, bells, tambourines and egg shakers. Another unique part of the class is that Dunn shows the older students simple yoga poses while the par-
ents of the younger group give massages to their children. One of the most rewarding parts of the class for Dunn is hearing about her past students finding success in music. While she doesn’t take credit for the work they’ve done to get there, she still takes a sort of pride in it. “I run into parents when I’m out and about, and they tell me that I was their child’s first exposure to a teacher,” she said. “They’ve gone on, and they’re in allstate music. They love to play instruments. They’ve gone into singing. It gives me such a warm feeling.” Dunn’s passion for teaching children is evident when speaking about the class. She believes it’s her calling. She encourages parents to try the class, not only for the learning aspect, but also because of the relationships developed within the class. “I think music is a universal language. Everyone responds to music,” Dunn
said. “Even if you don’t speak the same language, music kind of brings everyone together. That’s what happens in the class.” Registration for classes ends on March 12. The classes go for 10 weeks, and parents and students attend one session per week. Starting March 16, “The Wonderfully New” class is offered from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. and 5:15 to 6 p.m. on Mondays. “The World Around Me” class is offered from 9:30 to 10:15 and 6:15 to 7 p.m. on Mondays, and 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. and 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. on Tuesdays. Depending on registration numbers, some classes may be combined. Cost is $95 for Kenan Center members and $105 for non-members. To register, you can visit the Kenan Center Business Office, 433 Locust St., Lockport, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. or by calling 433-2617. For more information, you can contact Mary Dunn at 531-3104.

Bestselling author YWCA receives donation from local organization to speak at college commencement Acclaimed bestselling author and Lockport native, Joyce Carol Oates will deliver the keynote address at the Niagara County Community College (NCCC) Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 16, at the Seneca Niagara Events Center, NCCC President James P. Klyczek announced today. “We are honored that Joyce Carol Oates, one of the most gifted and highly regarded writers of our time, has agreed to deliver this year’s Commencement address,” said President Klyczek. “I look forward to the insightful message she will share with the class of 2015 as they prepare to make their mark on the world.” Joyce Carol Oates was born in Lockport on June 16, 1938 and grew up on a farm where she developed a love for literature and writing. Her “working-class” upbringing is affectionately recalled in much of her fiction. She attended Syracuse University on a scholarship and graduated valedictorian in 1960. She earned an M.A. in English at the University of Wisconsin in 1961. Oates began teaching at the University of Detroit, and by the end of the decade, had moved on to work at the University of Windsor in Canada. Her first published book was the 1963 story collection By the North Gate, followed by her debut novel With Shuddering Fall in 1964. Oates is the author of more than 50 novels, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde (a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize), and the New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the 2005 Prix Femina Etranger) and The Gravedigger’s Daughter. Her many literary awards include the National Book
Award, the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, the O. Henry Prize for continued achievement in the short story, and the Kenyon Review Award for Literary Achievement. She received the Common Wealth Award for Distinguished Service in Literature in 2003, the Chicago Tribune Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006, and the National Humanities Medal in 2010. Oates has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature three times. Most recently she has received the 2012 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Fiction Collection for Black Dahlia and White Rose, the 2013 New York Times Notable Books of the Year for The Accursed and the 2014 Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award. Her most recent published works include “Carthage”, “Lovely, Dark, Deep” and “The Sacrifice”, a novel set to be released later this month. Oates retired from full time teaching last year after 36 years at Princeton University in the Creative Writing Program. She is teaching at Stanford University this semester and has promised to offer one course at Princeton each fall for the foreseeable future. NCCC is one of 30 community colleges in the State University of New York, the largest public university system in the country. The college provides 70 certificate and degree programs to over 7,000 students and is funded by the Niagara County Legislature, the State University of New York, and student tuition. The 51st commencement ceremony is slated for 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 16th at the Seneca Niagara Events Center in Niagara Falls and is open to graduating students and their invited guests.

Six local wrestlers punch tickets to states

Starpoint senior Richard Duermeyer (left) , who got to the finals with a win over Lockport’s Tylor Rivera at 285, defeated Lancaster’s Mason Mastrangelo 5-3 in the last title match of the day.
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
The NewYork State Wrestling Tournament is finally set and Niagara County will be well represented in Albany. Five local grapplers earned spots in the large school division, with four punching guaranteed tickets with tournament victories at the 52ndAnnual NYSPHSAA Section VI Wrestling State Qualifier at Lake Shore High School last week (Feb. 14) and one more earned his way in as a wildcard in the small school division. Lockport will be sending three wrestlers to states once again as Kirk Feeney, Anthony Orefice and Mitch Seaver will all be making trips to Albany, while Niagara-Wheatfield eighth grader Warren McDougald, Starpoint senior Richard Duermeyer and Newfane junior Jake Kubala will all be joining them in the state capitol. The championship round started with Seaver of Lockport ensuring that he would get to the state tournament after coming in third last year as a freshman. The sophomore was sensational all day as he started the tournament with a pin of Trent Zillox of Iroquois in just 52 seconds before dominating Seth MacTavish of Jamestown 16-3 to set up a date with seventh grader Justin McDougald of Niagara-Wheatfield in the finals of the 99 pound division. Seaver, who has just one loss all season, would continue his outstanding day winning by technical fall in just over three minutes to get over the hump and head to the state tournament. “That’s pretty much all I did all year was work toward that,”
said Seaver. “Now my goal is to just place at states. I just need to wrestle the way I know how to wrestle and not get flustered.” The following match the McDougald family got some redemption as Warren was able to earn his first trip to states, and he’s still in middle school. McDougald faced Tommy Michel of Lancaster in the finals, who had previously upset number one seed Willie McDougald of Niagara Falls, who also just happened to be the cousin of Warren and Justin. It was a tight match all the way through, but McDougald was able to pick up a 5-3 overtime victory over Michel to punch the first of what will likely be many trips toAlbany for himself. “It feels pretty good,” said McDougald. “I’m actually pretty excited that I won against an 11th grader. I’m hoping for first and I’m going for that target.” Prior to the tournament many people felt as if it would be a lock that Anthony Orefice would be a lock to win the 126 pound division considering his outstanding resume that includes four class championships and well over 230 wins. Unfortunately Orefice was the victim of perhaps the upset of the year as Connor Day of Iroquois pinned him in the third period of the finals to hand him his first Section VI loss of the year and earned Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. The loss will not hinder the Lockport senior tremendously though as he will still be able to pursue his goal of winning the state tournament as a wildcard bid. Shortly after Orefice’s shocking defeat, Kirk Feeney took the mat in hopes of going back to the state tournament for the second consecutive year and that particular loss focused him even more on the task at hand. Feeney would take it to Charlie Milks of Kenmore West, whom he narrowly beat
Lockport’s Anthony Orefice was the victim of perhaps the upset of the year as Connor Day of Iroquois pinned him in the third period of the finals to hand him his first Section VI loss of the year and earned Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament. in the Class AA finals the week before, but this time he won by a 7-0 score. “Everyone was going crazy,” said Feeney. “As soon as I saw that I put my headphones in, I got on the mat and I started drilling takedowns. It shocked everyone but it shows that on any given day, anyone can be upset. I just said to myself that it wasn’t going to happen to me.” Richard Duermeyer, who
got to the finals with a win over Lockport’s Tylor Rivera at 285, was set to take on Mason Mastrangelo of Lancaster in the last match of the day. The Starpoint senior entered the tournament still getting used to wrestling in the heavyweight division as he had been competing at 195 for the majority of the year. At 201, he and head coach Stephen Hart felt that he could be
more effective as a heavyweight and it paid off as he defeated Mastrangelo 5-3. “At Lew-Port I lost to Dan Cicco at 195 and that was the deciding factor that I was going to go up,” said Duermeyer. “I’m a lot quicker and believe it or not I’m a lot stronger than them. So quickness and agility definitely helps.” In the small school division Jake Kubala suffered a
tough loss in the finals at 182 to Alex Kelly of Cattaraugus Little Valley/Pine Valley, but he will represent Section VI as a wildcard. The New York State Wrestling Championships will take place Feb. 27-28 at the Times Union Center in Albany, NY. Twitter: @SabatoNick

Starpoint uses depth to win 4th straight class title
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
There were a few questions surrounding Starpoint’s boy’s swim program at the start of the season. Coming off three straight Class B championships, the Spartans had a new core group of swimmers and two new coaches. Co-head coaches Mike Lopardi and Marc Toth had a feeling that they could once again compete in the ECIC and in Class B, but they didn’t believe that had a dominant swimmer to carry them like in years past, so the team would have to do it collectively. That’s exactly what the squad did when Starpoint finished the regular season unbeaten for the second straight season, won the ECICs and Class B for the fifth straight season. Perhaps most impressive, though, is that the Spartans managed to nip Olean in sectionals, despite not winning a single event and Olean winning six of 11 of the events. Oddly enough, they only finished higher than third in two events in the Class B meet, which were second place finishes by Brandon Smith in the 100 butterfly and 400-yard freestyle relay with Jacob Smyth, Brandon Joslin, James Sacco andAndrew Luckman. “Going into Class B we were projected to lose,” said Toth. “We weren’t supposed to beat Olean and they pulled it off. We didn’t win a single event and Olean won six of 11 events. Because we had so much depth with our team we ended up having three people in almost every event.”
That depth carried them to a strong record all season because, for the first time in program history, Starpoint had every member on the team qualified for the ECIC meet, and it wasn’t as if they had just 10 swimmers. All 25 swimmers participated in the league meet. The Spartans also showed their depth by bring 10 swimmers to the New York State Qualifier and having all perform well despite having to prepare for championship meets three weeks in a row. “Every single one of them performed well,” said Toth. “It’s tough as an athlete to practice for three weeks of championships in a row. You have to pick and choose which one to go after. To see all of our guys not only performed well at the beginning of the championships but all the way through to the end and continue to drop time was just an awesome thing as a coach to see. Seeing the kids continue to drop their times and be happy was the most rewarding thing for me.” Starpoint also had a swimmer win the state qualifier in Smith, who took down the rest of the field in the 100 butterfly. Smith won despite being nipped in both the ECIC meet and the Class B meet. Now, however, he advances to the state meet next weekend. “I was upset that I had lost to my competitors before,” he said. “I knew I could do it because I had the determination that I was going to make it. I knew that if I just worked on my turns and stuff that my coaches showed me in practice that I would make it.” Andrew Luckman placed sixth in the 200 individual medley, ninth in the 100 backstroke and the 400 Freestyle relay team of Luckman, Joslin, Sacco and Jason Prue came in 10th. Smith, Luckman, Joslin and Tony Zanatian also finished 11th in the 200 medley relay. Starpoint finishes its season 11-0 overall and 10-0 in ECIC meets. Twitter: @SabatoNick

Wilson clinches sixth straight N-O girls hoops championship
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
It has almost become a February tradition over the last several years. Wilson has clinched yet another Niagara-Orleans League championship, this time for the sixth consecutive season. This one, however, may be the sweetest of them all because this was supposed to be the year that the rest of the league caught up to the Lakewomen. They weren’t supposed to continue the success that they have in the past. So the question has to be, how do you sustain such successful longevity? According to Wilson head coach Brian Baker it is not a one man job, and his assistant coaches have been a major part of the winning tradition. “If you want to talk about programs you talk about building it from the base,” said Baker. “This is what it’s all about. We’ve been the longest team without
modified and our youth coaches have been fantastic. You look at the different JV coaches that we’ve had from Pete Reagan to Chris Moon now, they’ve done a great job. For myself to take all the credit would be selfish, I’ve had great assistants. Jeff Dinse has been fantastic. It’s just a total team effort. We wouldn’t be in this position without all the help I’m getting.” Prior to the season any time I asked someone outside of Wilson who was going to win the league this year there were not many people who picked the Lakewomen, but everyone said not to sleep on them. Baker himself was not quite sure where the team was going to fall this season but he looked at it like a puzzle piece as he tried to replace almost an entirely different rotation. “I was without Jeff Dinse last year as my assistant and when he came back I told him that I don’t where we are going to be,” said Baker. “I knew the kids put in a good summer again, I knew we had some tremendous pieces to a puzzle and I think that’s what we’ve been sticking with all year. We have the pieces to the puzzle and it’s our job as coaches to figure out how these pieces fit together. This team has been great. All of the girls are buying in and believing in it.” One of the main things that
has eased the transition from an experienced team to a brand new team was the 2014-2015 Wilson team’s work ethic over the summer. That is something that they have picked up from the previous stars like Jamie Curry, Emily Lasher and Dana Smith who spent offseason after offseason in the gym working hard to get better. Players like Rachel Senek, Serina Jaeger and Rachael Cobo worked hard on improving their games all summer long and the results have shown on the court. “One thing that has helped them is that they have seen the older kids work hard in the summer,” said Baker. “These kids have watched some very talented players and they have watched some very talented players but finally it’s their turn and they were excited.” While they may have made the biggest strides before the season, the most important point of the season came on just the second league game of the year against CSAT. Wilson managed to erase a double-digit lead and come back to win on a buzzer-beating shot by Jodie Vincent after Megan DiLaura came up with a loose ball and managed to find her while falling down. Close wins like that have a tendency to give or take away
momentum for teams and the Lakewomen gained confidence from that and used it to springboard through the rest of the season. “That’s senior Megan DiLaura making a play,” said Baker. “She somehow tied up the ball, falling on the floor, somehow getting the ball to Jodie Vincent and scoring a game-winning basket. There is just something about this team that is really special because they are finding ways to win as an underdog.” What is most exciting about this team is that while there was some uncertainty at the beginning of this season, there will not be any coming in to next season. Wilson will return all but its three co-captains DiLaura, Tayler Devole and Mercedees Rees, and that includes leading scorers Senek and Kayla Neumann. With another summer for them to improve, the Lakewomen will surely be back to compete for a seventh straight league title in 2015-2016. “We’re super excited about it,” said Baker. “Obviously we are going to miss these three seniors. They’ve been a part of our program for a long time but these kids coming back they now know what it takes to get to the next level. They now know what it takes to be that player to be a valuable asset to the team.” Twitter: @SabatoNick
Wilson holds off Roy-Hart to win Niagara-Orleans League title
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Coming into the contest RoyHart had nothing to lose but Wilson had everything to gain. With a win on Tuesday night (Feb. 17) Wilson could clinch a share of the Niagara-Orleans League championship, and the Rams were looking to play spoilers. After the two teams played a tight game back on Jan. 20 in Middleport, Roy-Hart knew that they could play with the top team in the league and for much of the game they did.
Wilson was able to show why they are the N-O league champions, though, as they made just a few more plays than the Rams to come away with a 42-33 win. The two teams were separated by just two points after the first quarter but a scoring drought by Roy-Hart in the second and early into the third quarter allowed the Lakemen to create some distance which turned out to be the difference in the game. “We struggled to score,” said Roy-Hart head coach Joe Pawlak. “Wilson is a good defensive team. We struggled to get movement, they are disciplined, they are coached well and they played defense well. I think we played good defense too. It was two tough teams that are two good defensive teams just kind of grinding it out.” Midway through the third quarter it appeared as if Wilson going to blow the game wide open but Andy Xapsos began to lead his team back into the game.
Down 13 points, Xapsos knocked down two three pointers and found Chris Anderson for a layup to cut the lead Lakemen lead to four at one point but once again the scoring went dry and Roy-Hart scored just two points over the final four minutes. “The key thing was to stop Andy from penetrating,” said Wilson head coach Brett Sippel. “The other thing was that they are a very good rebounding team and we did a better job on the offensive glass in the second half. We limited their second chance points.” In very fitting fashion, four of the five seniors that have been on the varsity squad for the past three seasons and took some lumps the previous two years were the leading scorers on the night. Kyle Bradley led the way with 13 points, while Evan Shank scored nine points despite battling foul trouble for the majority
of the second half. Joe Littere and Jarret Johnston added eight points apiece. While they knew that a win would clinch a share of the division, an Akron upset of Medina later in the night gave Wilson (15-3) the outright league championship for the fourth time in six years. “After the last two years, especially two years ago, it means so much,” said Littere. “We were probably one of the worst teams in Western New York but we just stayed hungry. We knew that if we were to work hard it was definitely accomplishable to win a league title. Even after last year we right in the thick of things in many games so getting over the hump this year is quite an accomplishment for us.” Xapsos had a game-high 16 points for Roy-Hart (6-12), while Anderson added eight points in defeat.

Starpoint club Canisius College Griffins top Army 3-1 hockey advances to fifth title game
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Starpoint has become a staple of ‘Super Sunday’ at First Niagara Center over the years, and they will carry on that tradition once again this season. The Spartans swept East Aurora in a best-of-three series to advance to what is now ‘Super Monday’ for the fifth straight season. With a 21-4-3 overall record and a 14-1-3 division record, Starpoint took home the High School Varsity Club Red Division title to advance to play Iroquois in the championship game on Monday (Feb. 23) at 8 p.m., at FNC. What is most interesting is that prior to the season the Spartans were looking to find some secondary scoring to help its top line of Patrick Miklinski, Andrew Parrish and Josh Krupczyk. Not only did that line carry the team in scoring, but it lost top defenseman Jake Wildt from a unit that was the backbone of the squad. “I went against my coaching philosophy and took my three best forwards and put them all on one line,” said Starpoint head coach Clayton Wilson. “As a coach I don’t want to say that one line carried us, but they scored the majority of our goals. They saw a lot of ice time, they produced and they got us here. We are going to try to ride them through ‘Super Monday’ and into states to see what they can do.” Miklinski, Parrish and Krupczyk finished in the top three of every statistical category this year, and combine for 80 goals and 180 total points in 28 games. Miklinski was the leader with 29 goals and 35 assists, while Parrish had 29 goals and 32 assists. Krupczyk chipped in 22 goals and 33 assists. No other forward had as many points as Krupczyk had goals on the year. But feeling the responsibility
to lead the team as well as carry the scoring load all season will have certainly helped prepare the trio for the matchup against Iroquois under the bright lights of First Niagara Center. “For the most part you can’t worry about what other people are saying,” said Miklinski. “Everybody didn’t think we were going to be this good this year so we had to block it out and do what we can do on the ice.” While the Spartans are getting major production offensively, they have had to replace Wildt on the back end after a broken hand sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Despite not being able to take the ice with his teammates, he is finding ways to help them out from the bench in any way that he can. “I’ve been on the bench a lot,” said Widlt. “I’m just giving feedback, trying to keep it positive and I think we will be OK.” Starpoint has lost its last two trips to First Niagara Center, so a big key to coming out with a win will be not worrying about previous losses or thinking about the three wins over Iroquois this season. They will be looking to limit any kind of mistakes in the game and attempt to limit Iroquois’ opportunities. “I feel this year we have to play the whole game throughout,” said Parrish. “We can’t give up any stupid mistakes that they can capitalize on. The biggest thing is to not dwell on our last wins against Iroquois. We have to forget about that and come out and play our hardest.” By the time they take the ice in downtown Buffalo, both teams will have gone more than a week in between games. A week may not seem like a long period of time, but after playing games constantly over the past three months, it can seem like an eternity for the players, so they will have to stay sharp in practice. “Without a game it is a long layoff,” said Wilson. “We are just going to have to practice hard. There are a lot of things that go along with ‘Super Monday,’ so some of the boys and I have some things to do during the week so we are going to be together. You always want to stay together. I think as long as the team is united, we’ll be fine.”

Wilson boys use experience to win Niagara-Orleans crown
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Wilson was on top of the basketball world in 2012. They had just won its third straight Niagara-Orleans League championship, but then reality set in and they had to find a way to replace all of that talent that had carried them to those wins. Like any fan base, they wanted it to happen right away, but Lakemen head coach Brett Sippel knew that it was going to take a few years to get back to the top of the mountain. So he began to push forward, bringing up six sophomores for the 2012-2013 season because he thought that would be best for the growth of the program. Wilson finished just 1-18 that season, but Sippel continued to push forward and last year they improved by five wins but more importantly they were no
longer getting blown out and they games were getting closer and closer. All of that has culminated in those six sophomores, who have now become five seniors leading the Lakemen back to the top of the N-O league to prove all of the critics wrong. “We had six sophomores up two years ago and some of them probably weren’t ready to play varsity at that point,” said Sippel. “We didn’t have a choice, we needed to fill out a roster and to their credit they made that sacrifice. They got beat up, some didn’t play a ton and I think Joe Littere is a good example. He was brought up as a sophomore, saw very little playing time and now he’s playing fantastic. They’ve paid their dues.” Kyle Bradley, Jarret Johnston, Joe Littere, Zachary Sarratori and Evan Shank have been through the lowest of the lows and now they get to experience the highs of the wins. While winning the league is obviously nothing new for Sippel, this one may be a little sweeter because of what those five seniors have to go through on the way to the top. “I think of all the years that we have won it and I think I’m
the happiest for this group because of where they were,” said Sippel. “From where they were two years ago to where they are now, each year you can just see them getting better and better. I think that’s the most rewarding thing for me as a coach is to see how much time and effort they have put in to get to this point. Winning a league is now an easy thing. You have to be very consistent for several months in the season, it’s not just a two week thing. I’m really just happy for how hard they have worked to get to this point.” When Sippel chose to bring those sophomores up two years ago it not only helped them with improving on the court, but it developed a bond between them. Talent certainly is a big factor on why teams win and Wilson has a wealth of that with the league’s leading scorer in Bradley and one of the best shooters in Shank, but they have such tremendous team chemistry on the court that makes them that much better. “Team chemistry is flowing right now,” said Bradley. “We know what the other one is thinking right now. We know how to play with the other teammates. It’s just a great thing to see happen and to be a part of. I’ve
just come up with them the last two years, gone through all of the losing and we’ve fixed all of the minor problems and now we have a winning team. It’s fun.” Winning the league championship didn’t come without drama as the Lakemen had close calls against Roy-Hart and Akron before finally seeing its 10-game league winning streak come to an end against Medina with three games remaining. Wilson pulled it together and won two tough games against Barker and Roy-Hart to clinch the league, but those games were big because early in the season they finally found ways to win tight games after losing so many close ones last year and because the loss gave them a wake-up call because they won’t be able to just walk through sectionals. “I think definitely the most important game of the season was the Medina loss,” said Littere. “It really kept us in shape. It kept us in line because we could have gotten full of ourselves. That loss really hurt but it’s a better learning experience than losing in the first round of sectionals.” Wilson will likely open up sectional play with a home game next Friday (Feb. 27).

Turning another page: Spring training begins with the annual quest for publications By Mike Haim
SPORTS COLUMNIST
Almost 40 years have gone by since various family members unwittingly decided to radically alter my methods of enjoying sports. First, one of my brothers gave me a gift subscription to Sports Illustrated. Shortly after that, a cousin began to deliver recentlyread issues of The Sporting News. Until seeing those magazines as a pre-teen, my way of getting “into the game” involved either attending Braves games (since there was no such thing as deeply discounted tickets for Sabres and Bills games back then) or glanc-
ing through the sports section of the two local daily newspapers. Accessing SI and TSN (known then as “The Bible of Baseball”) further exposed me to stories about every team in any given sport, sparking an interest in clubs way beyond the borders of Western New York. But The Sporting News, especially, revealed an added treasure for a kid with a passion for sports statistics: the existence of annual guides and record books. Back then, the beginning of spring training meant that I could take some of my paper route earnings, purchase a money order at the local bank, order a four-book set of TSN publications (Guide, Record Book, Dope Book, and
Register), and anxiously count down the four weeks it took before a package arrived with new additions to my personal library. Looking back, the waiting resembled Ralphie in “AChristmas Story” and his Little Orphan Annie decoder. Every day, I would rush home from school to see if that box bearing a St. Louis return address had been delivered. Like most everything in our lives, it’s all changed over the years. The Sporting News isn’t even a magazine anymore, becoming an online-only concern in 2013. It ceased publishing the various books in 2006 and 2007, creating a new quest to find the same information, someway, somehow.
Now most of the raw data can be found online. Websites like baseballreference.com, retrosheet.org, and thebaseballcube. com ably fill the void, but still can’t satisfy the desire to just thumb through a book during a game and find some nugget of information that you weren’t necessarily even looking for. So in an effort to really feel like I’ve pulled out a victory against the chill of a Buffalo winter, I still try to find modern-day print editions of baseball publications. Nowadays I trek to a bookstore to pick up a couple of things: the annual Who’s Who in Baseball, celebrating its 100th year in 2015, and the Athlon’s preview magazine—the closest thing to
the classics previously put out by The Sporting News and Street & Smith. Other components of the “physical book” baseball library – the Elias Book of Baseball Records and the Baseball America Almanac – are inevitably online acquisitions, but the process of just ordering those items seems to warm the bones as effectively as a nice mug of hot chocolate, tea, or coffee. Otherwise, the closest replacement for the old Baseball Guide is a product from some ambitious members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), which each year publishes The Emerald Guide to Baseball. Alas, the free
download isn’t available until the new season is about a month old, when sub-freezing days are a distant memory; a print edition becomes available around opening day. I’ve also developed a certain satisfaction in downloading team media guides through the course of spring training and storing them on my computer and tablet. Toting around 30 or more books at one time was impractical in the past, so perhaps there is a benefit in modern progress. Still, I relish those spare moments of finding random facts and tidbits of data, keeping warm with a flip of a page. www.twitter.com/mikehaim
Lockport YMCA Stingrays continue to sting their opponents “Swim” from page 9 25 free and the 100 free. Coach Tim Menges stressed how proud he is of all his swimmers as the crunch time of the season approaches. “It is wonderful to see the progress of each swimmer
throughout the season,” he said. “I am thrilled to see Lockport have so many swimmers qualify to compete for the top spots in New Yorkj State, as they continue to post the best times of the season.”
Seven Lockport swimmers posted best times in all three of their individual events: Madison Fragale (200 free, 100 free and 50 breast), Madison Keleher (50 free, 100 free and 100 breast), Elizabeth Kershaw (100
IM, 50 fly & 50 back), MacKenzie Ross (50 free, 100 free & 50 back), Ramsey Ross (50 free, 100 free & 50 back), Madelyn Timkey (50 free, 50 back & 100 IM), and Liam Timkey (25 free, 25 back & 25 breast).
Rounding out the list of swimmers who notched personal best times were Cianna Conklin, Savannah Pencille, Lauren Quirk, Zack Santarsiero, Ethan Menges, William Swartz, Elizabeth Swartz, Chris Ulrich,
Riley Adams, Aiden Moran, Laurel Creamer and Jenna Bull. Lockport continues to prepare for the state championships in March.
