File tax returns at local library calling 1-800-829-3676. “We’re trying to help our patrons as much as possible … it’s really nice that the library’s website has it right on the front page,” Mooney said. The tax service will be held in the meeting room at the library; a table with a clipboard will be available for patrons to sign up. “This is also a wonderful way for people to come to the library that have never seen our library. “We really want to make it as easy as possible for the public. I think it’s going to be a good year for it. We welcome the service. I think it’s a great service for the public,” Mooney said. The Clarence Public Library is located at 3 Town Place in Clarence and can be reached at 741-2650. The Clarence Senior Center tax service program will run from 9:30 a.m.noon.

All those that will be assisting with tax returns are volunteers who have been trained by a statewide/national program. “[The volunteers] spend many hours training” over the past month or so, according to Mooney. Many people doing taxes have done them in previous years. Each taxpayer’s tax return will be reviewed by a supervisor, to eliminate errors and ensure the maximum benefit to the taxpayer. This year, the IRS will not be providing information guidelines at service locations, but will only provide certain forms. Specifics on that and links to either download or order forms is available on the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library website, at www.buffalolib. org/content/subject-guides/ taxes. This is not specific to just the Clarence Library, but is being applied across the board. For those that may not have Internet access, IRS forms can be ordered by

During last week’s State of the Town address held at Orazio’s Restaurant on Jan. 22, Jim Callahan, director of community development, and Assistant Planner Jonathan Bleuer spoke to attendees, following Supervisor David Hartzell’s presentation. Callahan thanked Hartzell and the Clarence Chamber of Commerce (who hosted the event) “for giving us the opportunity to explain a little bit about the planning process in the town of Clarence.” He then set out to get the town up to date about the comprehensive Masterplan 2025. “We are working on the ground work for comprehensive plan 2025. Many of you know Masterplan 2015 was adopted by the town board in 2001,” he said. “It has been our land use constitution, guiding all land use decisions in the town of Clarence, but as the name indicates, 2015 is reaching its term limit. Through the years, we’ve adopted many supplementary plans and a lot of projects in that 15 year

period. “We’re hopeful and we’re looking forward to 2015 and putting that plan together and making a document that we can be proud of going forward from here,” he added. The mic was then passed to Bleuer who discussed growth and development in the town of Clarence. He presented a Powerpoint of information about the Annual Development Monitoring of 2014 to the audience, which is available for viewing on the town of Clarence website. “[This presentation] is really a good taste of what’s happening in the town now and also what will be happening in the future,” he said. In regard to residential single family homes, there was a 36 percent decrease in permits from 2013; this past year there were 89 new permits, down from 139 permits in 2013. The total square footage of each of these homes totals 300,271. “This is slightly less than 2013,” he said, which equalled 483,738 squarefeet. “Homes are getting a touch smaller.” He referenced photos of homes that have had construction additions. “What we’ve seen in the

space bond act. This act upholds that the “town is acquiring open space and preserving in it in perpetuity to reduce the long term potential of growth and to maintain the character of the community. “In total we’ve preserved almost 1,500 acres of open space in the town and that’s a mix between outright acquisition by the town and the purchase of development rights in some farming operations,” Callahan said. The Clarence Town Board is looking at extending that program, and there will be more in 2015 on that issue as they move forward. “The program is obviously very successful and very popular, and I think the town board will consider extending it into the future further,” he added. “We did receive the Upstate American Planning Association Award for planning implementation — that is, on the Greenprint program — so we’re very proud of that,” he said. This April, Callahan and and Bleuer will be presenting about the Clarence Greenprint program at the New York Planning Federation.

economy today is people are not necessarily moving, but they’re putting money into their existing house,” Bleuer said. “We see people investing into their current home and that’s a really good thing. We want to see people investing into the older housing stock or the existing housing stock to bring it up to date.” In regard to residential mobile homes, there has been a decline in number of units from 2013 (30) to 11 in 2014. “The size and the value of those units did go up,” he said. All of which are completely sewered and within the Clarence Central School District. He then moved on to discuss commercial and industrial development in the town. There has been an increase in development from 2013 (13 total permits) to a total of 23 permits, last year. The total square footage of commercial space equates to 221,000 square feet. More information and detailed numerical statistics can be found on the posted Powerpoint. Callahan wrapped up their presentation with a comprehensive update on the Greenprint program and the open

Orazio’s Restaurant named ‘Business of the Year’ By Alicia Greco

The Culinary Institute of America graduate, Orazio Ippolito Jr., owner of Orazio’s Restaurant, will be the “Business of the Year” award recipient for the Clarence Chamber of Commerce annual Awards Dinner. “We opened originally in Buffalo in 1991. We moved out to Clarence in 2000,” he said. Now, the restaurant has more space, increased parking and a bigger banquet facility. Although the heritage behind the cuisine is Sicilian and Italian/American, Orazio’s Restaurant offers much more, including Asian, French and other styles of cooking. “People love it because they will be all set to order something Italian, but will go into the specials because they sound so good,” he said. “We do a lot of gluten-free dishes also and try to be vegetarian friendly. “Everything’s homemade. We make our bread everyday; we make our pasta everyday. We do everything from scratch. We haven’t compromised that, even after 25 years of doing it,” Ippolito said. Orazio’s Restaurant has been mentioned to have one of the largest seafood menus in the Western New York area, in addition to steaks and chops. Along with the acceptance of this award, Orazio’s has been recognized with others, such as the New York State “Best Dish.” In addition to being honored at the Taste of Buffalo, Orazio’s Restaurant has been awarded at the Taste of Clarence for “Best Appetizer,” “Best Entrée,” as well as “Best Dessert” for Italian crepes. In 2011, that establishment won the Taste of Clarence’s “People’s Choice Silver Spoon” award, which was decided by an on-site tasting com-

Orazio’s Restaurant is the award recipient for the Clarence Chamber of Commerce “Business of the Year” award. Pictured: Orazio Ippolito Jr. petition. According to Ippolito, receiving news about the chamber’s award was “very exciting. It was like the cap [of it all]. We won the Taste of Buffalo. We won the Taste of Clarence, this year. It was great to win the trifecta and win Business of the Year, and to be appreciated for that.” Last year, Orazio’s began wholesale distributing the restaurant’s homemade Italian gelato, which can be found on shelves at all Dash’s Markets. Orazio’s Italian Crepes and Gelato, a side project, opened at the Walden Galleria Mall, which has been approved and is currently in the process of franchising in New York state. “We also opened up our second location at the Galleria Mall. We just got approved by NYS to franchise it. That was a long hurdle; so much work and money to be able to franchise it,” he said. Food items will include healthier choices, crepes, gelato and salads. He said he hopes that the franchise will make it across the country.

According to the Clarence Chamber of Commerce, “Orazio, his wife Amy, brother Sam, and their entire staff would like to thank the Western New York Region, and especially Clarence for all the support they have received throughout the years.” Ippolito said, “We love Clarence. They support us. We do a ton of functions for them and they’re always very business friendly.” Orazio’s Restaurant is located at 9415 Main St. in Clarence; or at the Walden Galleria Mall, located at 1 Walden Galleria in Cheektowaga. Recipient members will be present at the 43rd annual Awards Dinner held by the Chamber of Commerce. The theme this year is “Wizard of Oz Comes To Clarence,” and it will take place on Thursday, Feb. 26 at Samuel’s Grande Manor, located at 8750 Main St. in Clarence. To RSVP, call the Chamber Office at 741-3888. For more information, visit .

Clarence district awarded grant This is a guest column by Clarence Central School District Superintendent Geoffrey Hicks. Thanks to the hard work of Clarence Curriculum Coordinator Kristin Overholt, the Clarence Central School District, in partnership with the Depew Union Free School District and Maryvale Union Free School District, was awarded a Strengthening Teacher and Leader Effectiveness Dissemination (STLE-D) grant from the New York State Education Department. The grant will provide more than $400,000 for professional development opportunities for identified teacher leaders and principals. The STLE-D grant allowed for partnerships in 2014-15. Normally, Clarence is ineligible for competitive grants because the district does not have at least 25 percent of students in poverty. The partnership provision permitted Clarence to collaborate with Depew and Maryvale, both districts that have been awarded the STLE-D grant in previous years. The overarching goal of the grant is to improve principal and teacher leader effectiveness by increasing their capacity to improve the academic achievement, as well as the college and career readiness of students. The grant provides funding for 40 teacher leaders and six principals from Clarence to participate in various professional development and training opportunities that occur outside the normal school day. The teacher leaders and principals will attend seven monthly meetings with participants from Depew and Maryvale in order to share information about successful and promising instructional practices related to the Common Core Learning Standards. The guest speaker at the first meeting was Greg Alhquist, who was named 2013 New York State Teacher of the Year. Alhquist delivered a passionate story about the

Superintendent Geoffrey Hicks impact of effective teachers and the importance of building a growth mindset for students and teachers. Grant participants are studying Carol Dweck’s book, “MindSet,” which describes the importance of the set of attitudes people approach challenges with and how one set of attitudes, a growth mindset, allows for greater success and accomplishment. Other professional development opportunities supported by the grant include sessions devoted to building collaborative professional learning communities, working with technology applications such as Google Classroom, and Edivation, an online video learning library, as well as workshops on formative assessment design, and response to intervention. The two most exciting learning opportunities include a two-day workshop on the “Understanding by Design” curriculum model, presented by international expert Grant Wiggins, and an institute on literacy instruction put on by specialists from the Teachers’ College at Columbia University. Teacher leaders will serve as turnkey trainers for Clarence faculty on the knowledge and skill they develop via participation in the grant. We are excited about both the quality professional development that the grant offers and the prospect of collaborating with teachers and principals from Depew and Maryvale. The Clarence Central School District’s office is located at 9625 Main St. in Clarence and can be reached at 407-9100.

While the program was created to help the students, it also had a beneficial effect on the everyday operations of our business” Kloss said. He continued, “I encourage our fellow business leaders to consider supporting the CHS Academy Internship Program. Our law firm was pleased to

As part of continued improvements to the zoo, there are plans to build a shade structure. Giraffes already have use of an enclosed structure, as well as a large giraffe yard of approximately one-half acre. However, during the zoo’s accreditation process in 2011, it was noted that there was little to no outdoor shade. The Association of Zoo’s and Aquariums (AZA) requested that a shade structure be built to help keep the animals cool and out of the direct sunlight of the summer months.

It is the stated mission by the Clarence Chamber of Commerce to support and help build local businesses. “We wanted to get more businesses involved and more accolades. So what we have done we call ‘Small Business Recognition of the Month,’� said Chamber President Judy Sirianni. Once a month throughout the year, local businesses that fall under the criteria set by the chamber will be eligible to win the Small Business Recognition of the Month award. Each nominee must encompass the following criteria: value and respect; leadership through empowerment and inspiration; stands as a role model with authenticity and courage; and brings the spirit of collaboration and celebration to all small businesses. That business must also strengthen the community and organizations through innovation approaches to resolving challenges and inspire meaningful changes; enrich the community and other organizations through mentorship of others; as well as skillful use of compassion, motivation, facilitation and empowerment for the lives of others. That business must also by a current member of the Clarence Chamber of Commerce (in good standing) and hasn’t been a small business of the month recipient in the last three-years. “However, it just doesn’t stop there,� she said. All

business will be recognized through “as many places as possible.� The winner will be notified by a winning letter and will be awarded a certificate. Press releases will be sent to local publications, as well as an announcement being published in the Chamber Connection Newsletter and on the chamber’s website, during that month. A plaque will also hang in the foyer at the chamber’s office. Upon month’s end, it will then be given to the business so the owners can hang it within the establishment. The idea stemmed from an executive board member that Siranni said felt businesses needed more recognition. Through the process, 25 board of directors will “have a list of who they feel should be honored.� That list is then given to the executive board; a winner will be selected for that month and announced at the following board meeting. The Clarence Chamber of Commerce strives to recognize local businesses throughout the year, with various monthly events. Predominately local citizens are recognized for their efforts during the chamber’s annual Awards Dinner. However, Sirianni said

that the chamber has established this business recognition program as a means of more frequently acknowledging the efforts. “With all of this said, the bottom line is: shop locally,â€? Sirianni said. “[This program] gives everybody the opportunity to be patted on the back.â€? Sarah Mansouri, owner of Dragonfly Studio and Salon, was named Business of the Month for January, this year. “I think that by doing this it’s showing the business, we [the Clarence Chamber of Commerce] are here to help you. Our purpose is to help our businesses and to strengthen them ‌ that’s why the programs that we offer are so important, as well,â€? the chamber’s president said. The program will continue month by month, “it will never stop,â€? Sirianni said with a laugh. “It’s great. We try our hardest to make sure that these business know how important they are, because when they’re successful, we’re successful, and we can share things and that makes a big difference. I’m just so proud of it, I really am,â€? she added. “It’s just one more program that we have that’s going to better our members,â€? she said. Learn more about the Clarence Chamber of Commerce at .

Pulling his weight By Melissa Brawdy With the loss of two key players earlier in the season, the Clarence boys basketball team needed others to elevate their games. Brian Pulli has. He saw the need and worked hard to help fill the voids. “With two kids who quit, I stepped up myself,” Pulli said. He said that his personal drive is a reason for his success. “I work on my shot every day,” Pulli said. “Everyone works hard. And I felt that in my senior year I had to try to go out with a bang and try to do the best that I could.” Pulli’s height is an asset, as well. The senior stands 6-foot3 in his second year on varsity. Last season, Pulli, along with all of his Clarence teammates this year, spent most of the season on the bench watching last year’s seniors shine. This year, Pulli was ready to step up and show what he could do. “We lost five leaders last year who started, and I feel that now I can step up,” Pulli said. “Last year I got some minutes, but not a lot. With my improvement, now I can do it and lead everyone — be the driving force for this team.” Pulli noted that the extra work that he puts in on the court, and during the offseason, has made him play to the best of his ability. “I’ve been working hard on and off the court. Even in July

and August I work hard,” he said. “A lot of shooting. I go to the YMCA every day or go to the park with some of the players on the team and just get shots up, improve every day.” Clarence coach Todd Banaszak has noticed Pulli’s improvement over the course of the past two seasons. He’s especially impressed with how Pulli has stepped up this winter. “Brian’s done a good job,” Banaszak said. “He’s come a long way. He’s improved a ton. He’s one of our captains, he’s one of our leaders. He comes to practice every day to work hard. He’s worked real hard on his shot. He has been one of our leading 2-point shooters, plays a little bit inside, and is also one of our leading rebounders. He’s worked hard to get to where he is.” Pulli averages 8.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. “I think I bring toughness and the ability to shoot and ability to work hard,” Pulli said. “I think I drive everyone to get better every day — being a leader on and off the court.” At the beginning of the season, Clarence hoped to make another run to the sectional finals at SUNY Buffalo State, but with one win so far, that doesn’t look likely. Instead, Pulli said, the Red Devils will have to focus on improving from here on out. “It was a goal in the beginning of the year to try to get back to Buff State, which, with our record, that’ll be tough,” he said. “But I feel like if we keep working hard, we can do that, win some playoff games. Take it one game at a time.”

Sacred Heart hoops cruises to blowout non-league victory

By Melissa Brawdy With several close games this season, the Sacred Heart basketball team was able to enjoy a bigger win over nonleague opponent Frontier on Wednesday night (Jan. 28). The game started off close, but the Sharks, who never trailed, ran away with a 4927 win. Julia Blujus’ 3-pointer started the night off in Sacred Heart’s favor, and her team never looked back. Frontier followed Blujus’ shot with a free throw, and that 3-1 score was the closest the Falcons would come to catching up. Sacred Heart led, 27-13, at halftime and 45-21 after three quarters. Sacred Heart coach Sister Maria Pares was happy with the way the Sharks came together, and she was able to give every girl a chance to play. “We started off kind of slow,

but then we really put it together, looked for each other, ran some nice things, so we were happy,” Pares said. “All of them. We got everybody to play. Everybody played pretty well.” Sacred Heart’s defense was effective, as each girl knew her role. Defense has been an aspect of the Sharks’ game that the girls have worked hard to improve over the course of the season, said Pares, who liked what she saw Wednesday. “(The defense) was much better,” she said. “It’s starting to catch on. It was good. I was happy.” Although Frontier’s defense did its best to contain Sarah Young, the Sharks’ leading scorer, she was able to put up nine points. She also played strong defense of her own. Kathleen Ryan led the Sharks’ offense with 14 points, including two 3s, despite being forced to leave the game with an injury late in the third quarter. With a 23-point lead going into the fourth quarter, Pares took advantage of the opportunity to rest her regular starters and give other girls a chance to play. Micaela Ryan finished with

DAN HICKLING

Danielle Hore and the Sharks scored a wire-to-wire win in which every girl saw the court on Jan. 28. eight points while Grace Galvin added two points in the fourth. Both players caught Pares’ attention. “Micaela Ryan came in at

the end,” she said. “I thought she and Grace Galvin did a great job.” The game was Sacred Heart’s penultimate game

against a non-league opponent. The Sharks won’t have another until Feb. 21, when it takes on Williamsville North right before playoffs start.

After a game Friday (Jan. 30) against Nichols, Sacred Heart’s next plays Monday (Feb. 2) against Mount St. Mary.

Patridge a pleasant surprise on Red Devils’ blue line By Melissa Brawdy

Aaron Partridge was supposed to start the season with the Clarence boys JV hockey team. He had other ideas. Through hard work and determination, Partridge worked his way onto Clarence’s varsity Federation squad, despite his age and size. “I had him penciled onto JV,” Clarence coach Richard Brooks said. “He’s one of the smaller kids on the team. He’s relatively short, he’s small, he’s only 15. And then he kept

working hard in the tryouts.” And the 5-foot-7 sophomore defenseman’s hard work could not be ignored. “The kid basically made it impossible for me to cut him,” Brooks said. During tryouts and preseason scrimmage tournaments in Rochester and in Western New York, Partridge was placed on both the JV and varsity rosters. He played for both teams during the tournaments, but he knew what he wanted all along. And he did whatever he could to make that happen. “I really wanted to make the varsity team because it’d be really cool to play with them,” Partridge said. “I just wanted to make it, so I worked really hard, and after the scrimmage (Brooks) asked me what I wanted to do, and I said I wanted to be on varsity, so I

got put on varsity.” Partridge learned to skate around the time he learned to walk, and he started playing hockey at age 7. And since he started playing, he’s always had his goals set high. “Since I’ve been playing, I’ve skated a lot, and I’ve always wanted to get better,” Partridge said. “And it’s always been my goal to get better and play at a higher level than what I am now.” What he is now is one of the better defensemen on the Red Devils who brings something unique to the blue line. “I think I bring some more offensive tact from the defensive end because we don’t really have a lot of that,” Partridge said. “I help get the rush going.” He compares himself to Torey Krug, a 5-foot-9 de-

fenseman who plays for the Boston Bruins of the NHL. “He’s small, too,” Partridge said. “I’m a smaller end, and he’s very offensive like I am. We’re both offensive defensemen.” This season, Partridge has two assists in 10 games, and he continues to work every day to remain one of the to D-men on Clarence. When asked if he sees hockey as a big part of his future, Partridge revealed just how high his goals might be. “Yeah, watching the NHL and seeing all those guys,” he said. For now, Partridge has his sights set on taking gradual steps to possibly get there. “I probably want to play junior hockey in a year, and eventually maybe even play college,” Partridge said.

Pulli has sights set on 200 points “Pulli” from page 7 Pulli’s personal goal, made with his father, was to score 100 points this season. Having already surpassed that, he now has his eye on 200. He plans to keep working hard to get there. “I need to take more shots, play my game, and just play well every day,” Pulli said. Next year, Pulli will be attending St. Bonaventure, where he’ll play baseball, his main sport. The amount of work that Pulli has put into playing basketball, with this being his last season before he focuses on baseball, is a testament to his work ethic. I do the best I can on the court when I can,” Pulli said..

Stallions edge Saints, rout West Seneca Wings Relying on strong defensive play, the Clarence Mite Major Stallions defeated the Buffalo Saints, 3-1, on Jan. 23 at the Depew Ice Pavilion. Josh Gawron (Clarence) celebrated his birthday with yet another win in net. Alex Fulfaro (Amherst) put the Stallions up early in the first

period on a goal assisted by Miles Santa Maria (Amherst) and Finn Graham (Clarence). Derek Johnson (Cheektowaga) scored late in the first, assisted by Garrett Senfield, to tie the game at 1. Luke Marchant (Clarence) scored in the second period, assisted by Liam Graham

(Clarence), to make it 2-1 in favor of Clarence and Evan Becigneul (of North Tonawanda) roofed a rebound from short range early in the third to round out the scoring. Defenseman Tucker Schoen (Grand Island) had four blocked shots. •••

On Jan. 24, the Stallions defeated the West Seneca Wings, 10-0. The Stallions’ defense of Owen McIntyre, Maximus Henning, Schoen and Drew Idzik allowed very few shots and Gawron skillfully handled everything that reached him for yet another shutout.

Luke Marchant, Nic Zivis, Idzik and Santa Maria, respectively scored one, two, three, and four goals. Santa Maria had a natural hat trick with three consecutive spanning the second and third periods, while Idzik then produced a natural hat trick in the purest sense with three consecutive

goals all in the third period. Cameron Stadelmaier won nine of 13 faceoffs. Zivis and Xavier Thomann each had assists and Santa Maria had two. The Stallions have been invited to and plan to attend the AAU (American Athletic Union) Nationals March 5-8 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Terrance scores OT winner to lift Will North by Clarence By Melissa Brawdy Clarence and Williamsville North took similar records into Sunday night’s (Jan. 25) boys Federation hockey game at HarborCenter, so it was no surprise when the tilt carried into overtime. Will. North ended up the 3-2 overtime winner, but both squads were able to take away positives. Spartans coach Bob Rosen saw contributions from several players in a game in which his team did the little things right in order to win. “We got a lot of contributions from a lot of lines, a lot of players, and for us to be successful, we need that,” Rosen said. “As well as we played, it comes down to doing little things well.” Will. North was able to kill off four and a half minutes worth of penalties in the first period, and then the Spartans did not take a

penalty the rest of the game. Josh Surowiec scored a few minutes into the second period off an assist from Juul Tanner, to give Will. North a 1-0 lead. Clarence’s Josh Slowinski tied the game at 1 with just 1:20 remaining in the stanza. Just one minute into the third, Matthew Terrance gave the Spartans the lead again, with Tanner picking up another assist. Clarence’s Nick Amodio then tied it back up three minutes later, as the contest went to an extra period. Terrance scored the winner for Will. North 1:28 into overtime. Clarence’s Anthony Campione and Will. North’s Nick Stafford provided quality play in the nets. Clarence was coming off a 4-3 loss to Orchard Park the days before, a game in which the Red Devils blew a 3-1 lead. Clarence coach Richard Brooks was curious to see how that would affect his team as it went into Sunday’s game. He liked what he saw and gave credit to captain Josh Slowinski, as well as a few other more experienced players. “North is always a good team, so I really wasn’t sure

what to expect from our kids because if they were hanging their heads from (Saturday), they would have lost this game in the first period,” Brooks said. “But they didn’t. Much of that is attributable to some of the older guys showing some leadership.” Randy Felber and Andrew Kempton had to adjust to playing slightly different roles on new lines, and both handled it well. Eric Grupp also showed the leadership that Brooks has come to expect from him this season. Rosen was pleased with Will. North’s win, but he said he hopes to see continued improvement from his team, which has six regular-season games left and one guaranteed playoff game. “I want to have more than that,” Rosen said. He said his team also learned on Sunday how small bounces can be the difference between a win and a loss, especially in overtime. “You get into overtime and anything can happen,” Rosen said. “Crazy bounces. I’ve won games that I shouldn’t have and lost games that I shouldn’t have.”

Rod, Gun & Game: Super Bowl Sunday — time for venison nachos, walleye tacos By Forrest Fisher This is a great time to relish the satisfaction of delicious meals that can result from the successful sportsmen pursuits of hunting wild game and fishing. There is something very special about the culinary delights that connect us to conservation practices, the purity of organic food from wild harvest, and the reality of incredible taste from this healthy food source. Great tasting healthy food helps to justify the cost of the license and gear, and all the time we spend learning about how to be successful. A few years ago, my family started looking around for proven recipes that would provide even more range on how we prepare our wild bounty from the lands and the lakes around us. We discovered the “Wild Harvest Table” from Cornell Cooperative Extension nutrition educator Moira M. Tidball, a culinary aficionado who enjoys cooking all kinds of wild game and offers free, proven advice. The result has been delicious and nutritious! For Super Bowl weekend, we are preparing two of Tidball’s crowd-pleasing recipes that have become our favorites: venison nachos and walleye tacos. Sounds awesome, right?! Let me share with you that there is never any leftovers from either recipe. For the Venison nachos, health consumers today all ap-

preciate that using the venison instead of beef lowers the fat content of typical nacho recipes. This recipe is quite simple, even I am able to succeed in the kitchen with it. In a stock pot, add one tablespoon of olive oil and brown the venison over medium-high heat. Add one medium to large chopped white sweet onion and cook 3-5 minutes more until the onion is translucent. Add 2-3 cloves of minced garlic and 2-3 tablespoons of chili powder, cook another minute (don’t let the garlic get brown). At this point, adding one teaspoon of oregano and one teaspoon of cumin is optional, if you like those flavors (I do). Then add one tablespoon of brown sugar and one 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes (or one quart of home canned tomatoes) and gently stir the entire mix in the pan. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, once there, lower the heat and simmer the chili about half an hour until it thickens and starts to smell “so good!” Then add one 15-ounce can of red kidney beans or black beans, your choice, but drain and rinse before adding. Then cook until heated through and the consistency is thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper. We then pour the mix into a wide baking dish, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top and place it in the oven preheated to 400 degrees. Heat some tortilla chips in the oven at the same time. Remove when the cheese melts (about six minutes or so). Spoon some of the mix

This recipe makes six to eight 1-cup servings. Nutritionally, a 1-cup serving is about 360 calories, offers 25 percent of daily adult needs for Vitamin A and Calcium, 30 percent for Vitamin C and 20 percent for iron, with 24 grams of protein! The walleye tacos are even easier. Ingredients you’ll need include one pound of boneless, skinless, walleye fillets with the blood vein removed, 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil,

2 tablespoons of lime juice (juice from one large lime), ½ tablespoon of chili powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped), 1 small jalapeno (diced) and ¼ cup of red onion (diced), with a dash of salt and pepper to your taste. Mix up a marinade of the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cilantro, jalapeno, red onion, salt and pepper in a baking dish large enough to also hold the fish. Add the fish fillets and spoon the marinade on top to coat

the fish. Cover and move to the ‘frig for 1 hour, then turn the fillets over and stand in the ‘frig for one more hour. Remove the fish and cook in a sauté pan for about four minutes, then flip and cook for two more minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the pan and coarsely chop the fish. To serve, spoon about ½ cup of fish into the center of a warmed corn or four tortilla, add some sour cream, some shredded lettuce or cabbage or coleslaw and some salsa. Fold or wrap the tortilla so it can be picked up easily and enjoy. This recipe makes about four servings of three ounces each, about 170 calories, only 2 grams of carbohydrates, 1.5 grams of fat and 22 grams of protein. For other tasty, easy to prepare wild game recipes, be sure to check in with the Cornell Wild Harvest Table website at: http://wildharvesttable.com/. The website also includes nutrition information labels that are helpful for folks watching their calories and vitamin intake levels. How to Stay Warm in Winter Word of advice from those in the know are usually helpful to folks who can never seem to stay warm in winter. When you head out into cold or wet weather, you must try to avoid wearing cotton clothing. Cotton absorbs your sweat and human moisture, insulates poorly and dries very slowly, helping to keep you cold! In-

stead, wear a base layer made from merino wool to wick moisture away and keep you dry (try merino wool socks too), then add an insulating layer such as fleece or down, and top with a waterproof or breathable shell. You will always be toasty warm in the winter outdoors. Good luck!

WSRC brings Christmas to family in need HarborCenter to host West Side Rowing Club (WSRC) continues to support its community through philanthropic efforts, most recently with the Mothers of Alumni Rowers (M.O.A.R.s) group, bringing Christmas to a St. Patrick’s Friary family-in-need with gifts and a special holiday meal. M.O.A.R.s began in 2012 to continue the kinship among WSRC rowing families whose athletes had graduated. Once a month, the group gets together and has an outing, including each year’s seniors’ mothers to continue as volunteers at the Club. This past year for their December philanthropy, the group voted to sponsor a family-in-need for the Christmas holidays. One of M.O.A.R.s founding members, Maryalice Victor, and her mother, Kathie Brinkworth, have been actively involved with the St. Patrick’s

Friary Pantry for many year. “The group jumped at the chance to sponsor a family for the holidays,” Victor said. The donations provided for a Christmas to remember for the family, with presents for each of the six family members and a special holiday dinner. The St. Patrick’s Friary is run by coordinator, Monica Kwiatkowski, and her assistant, Jim Dudziak, under the direction of the Franciscan Friars. For many years, the Pantry has provided support for numerous area families. While delivering the group’s donations, Victor and member Barbara Johnson discovered one of the Pantry volunteers, Betsy Broderick Kurzdorfer, is the great niece of Michael Broderick, the second (and longest serving President) of the West Side Rowing Club. Kurzdorfer’s father, Thomas, was the son of Joseph Broderick,

Michael Broderick’s brother. Broderick’s WSRC legacy includes rowing the first 8-person shell in Buffalo, managing the United States Rowing Team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, being only the second American to receive a lifetime membership in the Canadian RowingAssociation, being enshrined at the National Rowing Hall of Fame in 1983, and having the Broderick Plate named after him, the most prestigious annual award distributed by WSRC. In the future, M.O.A.R.s intends to sponsor the WSRC “Boat of Hope,” using an old rowing shell to hold donations for area families in need. The hope is that current rowers and families will have an opportunity to participate with M.O.A.R.s, as well as be able to sponsor several additional families through holiday gifts

for each family member and a special family Christmas dinner. About the West Side Rowing Club: The West Side Rowing Club was founded in 1912 with a mission to promote the advancement of the physical, mental, and moral well being of the youth in Buffalo and the surrounding areas. Since 1921, West Side has hosted high school teams. Throughout its 102 years, West Side has won countless national and international championship events, having sent over 30 athletes to represent the United States at the Olympic Games and Elite World Championships, and advanced hundreds of youth athletes to top collegiate schools and rowing programs across North America.

girls state championships Some of the best women’s ice hockey in New York State will be coming to HarborCenter when the Western New York Girls Varsity Ice Hockey Federation hosts the 2015 New York State Girls Varsity Ice Hockey Championships.

Canisius and Niagara rivalry extends beyond hardwood By Mike Haim While geography alone does not make for a significant rivalry in the sports world, it does often help. If proximity were the sole criteria for ranking local collegiate rivalries, then Canisius College and the University at Buffalo would be scratching and clawing their way through their occasional meetings on the fields or courts. As it turns out, those two schools don’t generate much hatred for each other, mostly because the schools don’t share a conference affiliation to help drive animosity. On the other hand, students and alumni of Canisius and Ni-

agara University have been trading barbs for decades, primarily due to a long-term basketball history. The schools have intertwining traditions dating back to the era before those storied Saturday night doubleheaders at Memorial Auditorium. But those legendary weekend outings in the 1950s and 1960s solidified a hoops rivalry that continues to this day with twice-yearly Metro Atlantic conference matchups. In recent years, however, the Canisius-Niagara rivalry has not been limited to hardcourts at facilities named Koessler or Gallagher. The hockey programs at each college have been drawing an increased amount of attention, and games between the rivals

are becoming more anticipated each season. The last 10 years or so have been a sort of Ground Zero for the local hockey programs. After playing at the Division III level since 1980, Canisius moved to Division I competition in 1998, one season after Niagara established its Division I program. In 2003, the schools were joint hosts of the NCAA Frozen Four, setting in motion a flurry of activity which helped grow each program. Canisius became a charter member of Atlantic Hockey when the league formed for the 2003-04 season. Niagara remained a member of College Hockey America until 2009-10, but still often had Canisius on its schedule. When the Purple Eagles

joined Atlantic Hockey for the 2010-11 campaign, it accelerated the importance of games against Canisius and helped foster the natural rivalry. Last weekend, the teams met twice at Dwyer Arena, where Canisius swept the games by 4-1 and 6-4 scores. The results were consistent with each team’s recent play: Canisius (128-6, 11-4-5 in Atlantic Hockey) extended its undefeated streak to seven games (6-0-1), its longest stretch since 2000-01, while Niagara (3-19-2, 3-13-2) dropped its sixth straight and has not won in 12 contests (0-10-2). Even though the schools are trending in opposite directions this season, the rivalry has had its share of

significant games in recent years. The schools met in the first round of the 2011 Atlantic Hockey tournament, with Canisius coming out victorious. In February 2013, the teams split a pair of games when Niagara was ranked #15 in the nation. The Purple Eagles held that same ranking a few weeks later, when the Golden Griffins scored a 5-3 win in a head-t0-head matchup in the Atlantic Hockey semifinal; Canisius went on to the NCAA Tournament, where it lost to Quinnipiac in the first round. Last weekend, the games drew decent crowds of 1,013 and 1,302 on the Niagara campus, where capacity is about 1,400. It’s easy to anticipate potential sellouts of 2,000 when the

teams eventually play each other in Canisius’ new Harborcenter home next season. To boot, Niagara could turn its fortunes around soon. Before this year, it has never suffered consecutive sub-.500 seasons as a Division I program, so a quick rebound wouldn’t be surprising. Canisius is on the upswing, bolstered by a home facility it can call its own. Once the schools establish equal footing on the ice, there’s no telling how intense the rivalry will become. Who knows? It could even move beyond the traditional one we’ve seen on a wooden floor for decades. www.twitter.com/mikehaim

Mentholatum Co. donates to area charities

Female golf club plays in Akron

The Buffalo Women’s Golf Club is a group dedicated to female golfers. The group will be gathered at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10 at the Paddock Dome. The Buffalo Women’s Golf Club, which was formed in 2006, originally started as the Western New York Chapter of the national Executive Women’s Golf Association. In 1980, the local chapter of the EWGA was formed to provide a networking club for women who golfed. Over time, the requirements of the national organization conflicted with the desires The Mentholatum Company’s current location in Orchard Park. of the local members, resulting in the formation of the Buffalo Women’s Golf “We generally pride our- ing to Japan in 1913 and today Mentholatum’s presence goes Club. selves in the passion and the manufacture several of the unknown by most BuffaloniThe BWGC is a non-real quality of our people to help leading skin care products the ans. estate golf club.

at four excellent public golf courses to play nine holes of golf on four-week nights. The courses played regularly are Arrowhead Golf Course, Akron; Diamond Hawk Country Club, Cheektowaga; Harvest Hill Country Club, Orchard Park; and The Links at Ivy Ridge, Akron. All courses play late afternoon, or early evening to accommodate women who work or have young children. All but one league is non-competitive and the leagues offer fun for golfers at all skill levels. Recently, the group has started a competitive matchplay league at Arrowhead Golf Club. Lady golfers do match-play to improve their golf score and gets the competitive juices going. It has been such a success, BWGC is looking to add another match-play league for the 2016 season. New for 2015, BWGC is starting “Come Play with the President” on the week-

ends for 18 holes of golf at one of our beautiful golf courses in WNY. This is an open play format, for any member who wants to play on the weekend without the need to arrange a foursome. In addition to the weekly play, BWGC also hosts four member-only or memberguest 18-hole tournaments throughout the season, as well as, a weekend tournament in the Finger Lake Region. Weekend tournament courses include: Willowbrook Country Club, Lockport; Terry Hills Country Club, Batavia; and The Links at Ivy Ridge, Akron, plus others. Regardless of skill level, the BWGC has the right league for anyone who wants to share their passion for the game. For more information, or to register for the Tuesday, Feb. 10 event, contact the BWGC at .
