In addition to helping empower women on the other side of the globe, they’re also making a huge difference right here in Western New York. “One of the programs out Club supports through our fundraising dollars is The Family Justice Center here in Buffalo, and that’s not only with dollars but with some volunteer service from our members,” said Kerry Switalski, media chairperson for the Zonta Club of CheektowagaLancaster. “We’ve donated some of our fundraiser dollars to the Cheektowaga Youth & Recreational Services program for special scholarships for day camp, and we’ve also donated money to the Summer Institute for Human Rights.” In order to support all the programs that mean so much to local families and children, they’re looking for some help.

Catholic Charities reaching out to youth Breaking into the job market can be a challenge, even if you’re armed with a college degree. For those that haven’t finished high school, it can be even more difficult – there are times when you might think it’s downright impossible. Catholic Charities is looking to reach out to area residents between the ages of 16 and 24 who are looking for help in obtaining their High School Equivalency. Youth and education services are offered at seven Western New York locations, including the Seneca Babcock Community Center, located at 1168 Seneca St. The program offers much,
much more than just a high school equivalency degree, though, and also teaches those enrolled in the program a host of other invaluable life skills. Basics include guidance in job-seeking skills like resume and cover letter writing, practice and instruction in interviewing skills, and help navigating job search resources. Instructors will also be giving students assistance in exploring career opportunities, opening doors that they may not have even known were out there. Classes also focus on giving background on the rights of employers and employees and other basic job readiness skills. Before that, though, they’re also helping establish the firm ground-work that’s needed to embark on a successful ca-
reer. From reading and math skills instruction to offering one-on-one tutoring sessions, assistance in applying for the high school equivalency and giving practice tests geared toward showing students where their strengths are and where they need a little more work, the Tomorrow’s Youth Today program is changing lives. According to Catholic Charities, their program has been met with some outstanding success, seeing students thrive and grow within the program – and continue to do so once graduation. In 2013, 80 area students earned their High School Equivalency with help from the program, and 90 were placed in jobs. All instructors working in the program are licensed and
certified New York State public school teachers, and all are familiar with a wide range of challenges facing students today. Once, it was enough to just have a high school diploma – now, though, Catholic Charities is going the extra mile and helping students plan their secondary education, explore career options, and not only set goals, but form an overall plan for getting exactly where they want to be. In some cases, the program can also help with setting students up in paid work experiences to get some valuable on-the-job training. To find out more about the program including how to enroll, call 893-3500 or visit ccwny.org.

Resident has high praise for Cheektowaga’s branch of Elderwood Dear Editor, Most of us dread illness and the end of our lives when we may need to turn to assisted living, rehabilitation, or skilled nursing homes, but the reality can better than expected. On Oct. 9, 2014, I entered the Cheektowaga branch of Elderwood on Bennett Road. I chose the facility for rehabilitation from a knee replacement because my mother-in-law, Eugenia Napierala, had finished her 100-year life span there
in 2001. In her five years there, we found much to approve. Thirteen years later, I shared her good experience. The grounds are well kept and attractive. The indoor air was fresh and clean smelling. My room was quickly cleaned every day, and friendly aides gave me appropriate assistance 24 hours a day. Nursing services were efficient and fair. The most necessary component of my stay - the physical therapy – was simply the best. Therapists guided my exercises
in every useful way and prepared me for my return home. I was either laughing at the good humor lavished on all the different people or moved to tears at the sensitivity and kindness I witnessed. I met interesting people in the dining room, enjoyed the variety of food choices, and observed individual kindnesses given to the residents with every stage of need for patience and assistance. Visitors felt welcomed. Entertainment was of-
fered daily. The business staff was competent, and building maintenance was done quickly. I witnessed a memorial service honoring those who had passed away in the past month attended by residents, family members and staff. It was very moving to see the respect and humility of so many that were acknowledging the loss of the people whose lives they assisted and then commemorated. If this facility I experienced is a representative sample, it seems that this
particular corporation is able to operate with excellence and respect for both residents and employees. It performs beyond standards expected of facilities by all who fear illness and old age. I admit that my visit was brief and soon I was going home. Being a permanent resident might be less hopeful, but I hope for my relatives and myself that we could expect to finish our lives within such a community. I dread more being alone in a place I could not maintain, without caring
companions, and with food spoiling in the refrigerator, as happened to some of the people whose demise I witnessed until they were forced into nursing homes in their last extremity. In my mind, Elderwood occupies a warm and glowing place in Cheektowaga. Sincerely,

The cards, which feature a Red Cross logo, are reloadable and can be used toward the purchase of any item at participating Dunkin’ Donuts locations. The November storm set the tone for a difficult winter for the Red Cross. Not only were 100 blood drives canceled, but now, an extended flu season has significantly decreased the number of people who are able to give blood. One of the requirements for donating blood is that the donor

Originally, it was only during the month of January that blood donors were going to be given an extra something special for donating not only their blood but their time to the Red Cross. But because of extenuating circumstances that have increased the Red Cross’s need for donors even more, their partner has agreed to extend their rewards program. For the first time in their 8-year partnership, Dunkin’ Donuts is extending their
must be in general, overall good health and not feeling sick. This means that you’re capable of performing all normal, everyday activities without feeling sick, and the Red Cross always asks that people who are ill – or think they might be coming down with something – call to reschedule their appointment. In the wake of canceled drives made necessary by ongoing weather conditions and the high amount of donor cancellations, the Red Cross is thousands of donations behind what’s needed to keep up with the demand from area hospitals
and medical centers. All blood types are needed; whole blood donations can be made every 56 days, and they’re also in desperate need of platelets – a separate process that can be done every seven days, with a maximum of 24 times a year. Regardless of weather conditions or of flu season, the demand for blood donations never stops. Tragedy, accidents, illness, surgery, chronic disease... they’re all reasons that someone might need a blood transfusion, and sadly, it’s not unheard of for life-saving operations to

Orchestra bringing a little bit of Germany to Cheektowaga It’s been a while since the last public performance of the Cheektowaga Symphony Orchestra, and they’re promising to make it worth the wait. At 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, they will be presenting A German-Austrian Affair at Our Lady Help of Christians Church, located at the corner of Union and Genesee. The concert is open to all and, as always, will be presented free of charge. The performance will include Symphony No. 2 by Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert’s Rosamunde Overture, Mozart’s Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and Richard Strauss’s Serenade for Winds. Conductor John Landis, a well-known face and name throughout the Western New York music scene, selected the pieces in order to present an incredibly well-rounded selection of music for concert-goers to enjoy. Having incredible faith in his orchestra’s
capabilities, he didn’t shy away from some pretty difficult pieces. “When choosing this particular program, he felt that playing Schumann’s second symphony would be a challenge for us, but quite rewarding, as it’s a wonderful example of music from the Romantic Period,” said principal oboist and general manager Brenda Small. “He also felt this would be the perfect opportunity to showcase our outstanding group of wind players with the Strauss Serenade, as well as give our very talented string section a chance to shine on the crowd-pleasing Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.” With such a wide range of pieces to choose from, there’s a lot that goes into the selections of pieces for any concert. With this, the goal was not only to showcase the skills of the different sections of the orchestra, but also to choose pieces that were representative of different areas of music with ties to the everpopular German-Austrian music scene. The members of the or-
chestra are no strangers to complicated pieces, or to those that are guaranteed to get the audience on their feet before they’re even finished. There’s something rather mystical and magical about classical music and, when done right, it can stir the soul of anyone listening to it. Recently, the orchestra performed Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, the piece that even those who know nothing about classical music will recognize. The response was overwhelming, and it showed every member just why they spend all the long hours practicing and rehearsing. “When the choir began to sing near the end of the symphony, everyone had goosebumps,” said Small. “Overcome with joy, the audience leapt to their feet before we even finished the final note! That’s why we do it.” The show is just one of many still to come in their 2014-2015 season. For more information, visit cheektowagasymphony. com.
Assemblywoman reacts to thruway probe Assemblywoman Angela Wozniak (R,C,I-Cheektowaga) today expressed her disgust following the report that at least one Thruway Authority employee has used taxpayer-funded office phones to schedule meetings with prostitutes. The report comes during a time where there is mounting pressure on the Thruway Authority to bring greater financial and management transparency to the agency. “It’s disturbing that the state is investigating whether multiple top officials at the Thruway Authority used state resources to book call girls. This isn’t just unprofessional, and an abuse of taxpayer funds– this is insulting,” said Wozniak. “I’m especially frustrated given the fact that the agency has neglected to put forth any semblance of a financial plan or to increase transparency with New Yorkers.” The Thruway Authority opted to sit out of the recent

Local sports
By Mike Pidanick A whole lot of superstar players have played a large role in the rejuvenation of the Cleveland Hill High School boys basketball program, which went from doormat to dominator in a short period of time. It’s a little bit different this season for the Eagles. Sure, the success has remained in place as always, but the standout go-to guy might be hard to detect. The Eagles have applied the different hero every night plan and that’s working just fine. “That’s the strength of our team,” Cleveland Hill coach Jason Przybysz said after a January victory over rival John F. kennedy. “We’re the type of team that when we get everyone involved a little bit and finding whoever’s hot for that moment, we’ve been able to find some success.” Make no mistake: the Eagles still have plenty of star power. Seniors Jermaine Hairston (11.3 points per game, 8.1 rebounds a night, team-best eight total blocks) and Anthony Sullivan (12.5 points and five rebounds per contest as well as a team-best 42 steals) have excelled in a leading role for Cleve Hill. But there are many others. In fact, six Eagles are averaging at least seven points per game and Cleveland Hill has received strong contributions from up and
DAN HICKLING
down the roster. “We just have an allaround good team and I’m thankful for that,” sharpshooting senior guard Zach Lewandowski said. “We’ve just able to get the ball around and then get back on D and cause turnovers.
Everyone on the team is contributing and that’s great to see.” Junior Daytwon Burney is averaging nine points per game and ranks second to Hairston in rebounding. Junior guard Rodney White is averaging 8.7
points per game and ranks third in assists and steals. Ramah Lassiter is scoring 7.6 points per game, while Lewandowski is at seven points per game and ranks second in assists. That’s led to yet another big season for the Golden
Eagles, who entered the home stretch in line for a fourth straight ECIC IV championship and another trip to Buffalo State College, as well. Cleveland Hill ended the month of January with a 12-3 mark and a winner in 11 of its
last 12 games — the lone setback a hard-fought loss to Monsignor Martin Athletic Association power St. Mary’s of Lancaster. “We’re trying to keep this going, get some bigs and then win in sectionals,” Lewandowski said.
Local sports any match; it makes a big difference.” The “A” team features some of the veteran leadership that Cheektowaga has relied on all season long, while the “B” team is led by a group that includes no seniors or juniors, but one that has shown it can stand tall against any team in the league. The depth is showing,” Kaplan said. “Our B team has been very strong, probably better than most B teams, and that makes a difference.” The Warriors have just two seniors, but both have been around for a while and the leadership of Megan Dulniak and Shelby Kirst has been instrumental to the young team.
Dulniak is the top bowler in the league with a 198 average and has her eyes on big things this season. “She’s the top bowler in our league,” Kaplan said. “It’s her senior year and she wants to be on that bus going to states. We’ll see what happens, but we have high hopes for her.” Freshman Emily Crone is in her third varsity season “and she’s really coming into her own,” Kaplan said. Seventh-grader Emma Rome also excelled in her first season for the Warriors. Junior Paige Casillo has also been bowling strong, while sophomore Gillian Chorazak and freshman Krista Hoctor have also been “B” team standouts
for Cheektowaga. This season, the Warriors have continued last year’s success against Maryvale and ended years of frustration against the rival Flyers. “It’s not a rivalry when one team wins all the time like they have against us,” Kaplan said, “so it’s nice to be on the flip side. Some of my young kids, don’t know what it’s like to lose to Maryvale.” For Cheektowaga’s boys team, seniors Greg Pittman, Kurt Thurnherr and Robert Wilson have led the way in their sixth varsity season. Senior Matt Makowski, juniors Trevor Dentice and Tyler Krakowiak and sophomore Zach Bollman have also stepped up for Cheektowaga.
last Friday night for a 10 p.m. game between UB and COLUMNIST division-leading Kent State, a contest which was carried Part of me wants to cringe nationally on ESPN-U. The students turned out in every time I hear about a force, complete with largecollegiate sporting event behead representations of a ing played “under the bright lights” of a national television disparate cast of characters including Bills coach Rex broadcast. Realistically, the lights Ryan, “Home Alone” star aren’t any brighter in an arena Macaulay Culkin, and Abraor stadium when ESPN is ham Lincoln. Reports stated in town (except for that one that students were still flowtime about seven or eight ing in midway through the years ago when UB had to first half, a vast improvement bring in auxiliary lights for a over last fall’s UB-Baylor national football telecast – but football game (incidentally also a national broadcast), I digress). Don’t say anything about when students raced for the the “bright lights myth” to exits by halftime. And then there was the the 5,797 who turned out “mop guy” who got caught
wiping the floor as a turnover created a fast break towards his end; his mad scramble turned him into a locally trending topic on social media repositories Twitter and Vine. The sideshow was merely window dressing, though: the Bulls drew upon the energy at Alumni Arena and dominated in an 80-55 trouncing. The whole night had a magical feeling to it, as if coach Bobby Hurley’s squad treated the contest as a coming-out party. “It was a great game to be part of,” Hurley said in his post-game comments. “The energy of the crowd and the atmosphere and the way we played defensively was great.” In addition, in a season
which has seen various players take up the leadership torch, another star emerged Friday night in senior forward Xavier Ford. The 6-7 forward, the team’s only four-year member and a front-runner for Sixth Man honors, netted a career-high 25 points in his second start of the season. Toss in his 16-point performance in his first start against Western Michigan three days prior, and it’s easy to see why Ford was named MAC East Division player of the week. But it’s really been a steady, balanced show in Amherst all season: the Bulls are still undefeated (8-0) at home this season and have played a pair of highly competitive road

Up and down the lineup, the Cheektowaga Central girls bowling team has seen solid performances all season long. Cheektowaga has standouts on its “A” and “B” teams and both have been instrumental in the Warriors’ success this season. “It’s good to see to see that depth coming through,” Cheektowaga co-coach Dan Kaplan said. “We’re very fortunate.

games against highly-ranked opponents, even holding halftime leads against Kentucky and Wisconsin. On the way, the Bulls have compiled a 14-6 overall record and are 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference; surely they’ve turning many heads after the MAC coaches’ pre-season poll placed them to finish fourth in their six-team division. At this point, a division title isn’t out of the question: the Bulls went into this past Wednesday’s road tilt against Ball State tied for 3rd in the MAC East Division, just one game behind Kent State and Akron. UB still has a road rematch with Kent State remaining (on Feb. 28) and
two games against Akron (on the road this Saturday and at home on Feb. 24). In addition, UB has yet to play Bowling Green, with whom they’re tied; the teams will play on the rural Ohio campus on Feb. 21 and again to close out regular season play on Mar. 6. In less than two seasons, Hurley has already logged an impressive 33-16 record and owns the best winning percentage ever by a UB hoops coach. He appears to be getting the Bulls on track for some remarkable success, along with any “bright lights” that may shine on them along the way.

The Tops Markets on South Park and Bailey that you remember from years past has gotten a fresh new look. The $1.25 million renovation redesigned the store with the Tops customer in mind. Located at 1480 South Park the store celebrates its city proximity and uses images of Buffalo architecture to adorn the interior walls. The produce department was given a modern, updated feel with track lighting, hardwood floors, and wood casings that give the colorful, fresh fruits and vegetables a country market feel and expanded variety. “Our South Park store is located in one of Buffalo’s most historic and unique neighborhoods, and has been a part of the fabric of that community for 43 years,” said Frank Curci, Tops’ chairman, president and CEO. “We are always listening to our customers and neighbors and have made significant changes and improvements based on that feedback.” Some of the changes include increased product variety in their Hispanic and

market was also introduced which offers an expanded selection of craft beers, ales and ciders. “Knowing we have a diverse community here in South Buffalo, we pledged to make improvements that cater to the needs of our shoppers,” said Pat Golden, store manager at the South Park Ave. Tops. “We are proud to present to our neighbors a store that is even more customized to fit their needs.” Tops will be offering special Grand Re-opening pricing on many of their items during the first few weeks of the re-opening. A great time to check out the changes and maybe sample some of the new products, it’s
worth a trip to experience the renovations, and check out the City of Buffalo murals in the front of the store. More than 25 jobs have been created at the South Park location as a result of the renovation, and hiring is expected to continue throughout the year. In addition to the South Park location, Tops has renovated their 345 Amherst St and the 1770 Broadway Ave stores. Tops Markets has committed an overall $5 million investment in their City of Buffalo locations, including two additional store renovations, and continues to display dedication towards the community. “During the store’s Grand Re-Opening ceremony on January 20, Tops donated Over $2,000 to local community organizations including the Valley Community Association, The Old First Ward Community Association and The Advisory Board for Lovejoy,” stated Kevin Darrington, Tops Chief Operating Officer, “The Tops at South Park and Bailey will continue to support its local community in future efforts including the Check Out Hunger Campaign (to benefit the Food Bank of WNY), Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund Campaign, and fundraisers to benefit Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo.” With the continued growth in the City of Buffalo and the South Buffalo area, it is great to see a friendly face like Tops Markets continue to grow with the city and the community it serves.
