Cleve-Hill students stand against bullying By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

October was National Bullying Prevention Month, and the students of Cleve Hill have taken the opportunity to make their stand on the issue very clear. This year marked the third year that the students and teachers organized a Unity Walk in conjunction with a nation-wide effort through PACER.org. The Unity Walk was originally supposed to be October 17, but with the original sidewalks wearing orange date rained out, teachers on October 24. The walk and students took to the around the school's campus

Dear Voters, Service. Home in Cheektowaga following a lifetime defending our country and constitution, I seek to become Town Justice to continue serving my community. Long before entering this race, I had offered to serve Cheektowaga pro bono as judge during former Judge Delano’s absence. From a working class family, I was blessed to graduate from the University of Notre Dame (Magna Cum Laude) and ND Law School. I’ve worked every type of case imaginable: felonies (homicides, child molestations, rapes, domestic violence, drugs, high-value larcenies), misdemeanors, and violation-level offenses (base housing issues, traffic offenses, etc.) – winning over 95% of my cases, trial and appeal. Additionally, I’ve cultivated Legal Aid and Civil/Contract/Labor/ Admin Law expertise. Most critically, during my 30+ year legal career, I already possess EXPERIENCE AS A JUDGE. UNLIKE the OTHER CANDIDATES, I belong to NO political party and have accepted NO contributions (especially NOT from lawyers, law firms, the police, or others who could participate in court cases before a judge they helped elect) because politics, outside special interests, and “payback favors” have NO PLACE in a court of law. LEARN MORE at www.JoeForJustice.com. My goal is not only to dispense the highest quality justice possible, but also to engage and improve our community (e.g., I plan to lead legal town hall meetings and preventative youth outreach efforts). Selection of your judge should NEVER be about political party membership, outside special interests, large campaign war chests that increase advertising volume, or “payback favors;” it should ONLY be about who has the best professional qualifications and judicial temperament to dispense JUSTICE over the citizenry. If you’re inspired by the unmatched professional qualifications/experience I will bring to the bench, my servant’s heart, and purity of justice I will deliver to ALL Cheektowagans, please honor me with your vote on November 4th. In word and deed, I will always demonstrate the Air Force core values by which I’ve lived my entire career: Integrity first; Service before self; Excellence in all (I) do. Respectfully,

On October 7, the sixth grade had a Team Building Day where students were taught not only about the importance of standing up to bullies and for those that were suffering, but the importance of everyday acts of kindness, compassion and consideration. They spent the day doing team building exercises, including using spaghetti and marshmallows to work together and build free-standing towers. The halls are decorated with posters to encourage students to “Walk Away from Bullying”, and in addition to making the posters, students

also signed an anti-bullying pledge. Students also attended a Unity Day Assembly, organized by the students of the Freshman Mentor program. Geared toward high school freshmen and their mentors, the assembly was designed to promote an increased sense of camaraderie in addition to what the mentor program already establishes. Those who attended the assembly took part in teambuilding exercises as well as being introduced to the Freshman Mentor Kindness Contest, which encourages the students to work together in spreading kindness through-

out the school and rewards participants with certificates and pizza at the end. Students who work on the projects will be presenting their work at the 2nd Annual Chain of Kindness Awards Assembly, showing their peers just some examples of steps can be taken every day to make their community a better place. “The mentors presented their own experiences with negative peer relationships and how they were able to rise above it to create a positive climate both at school and in their community,” says organizer Elizabeth Manley. PACER.org, the organization that champions the

Anti-Bullying campaign, is the Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights, which acts to expand and enhance the quality of the lives of children with disabilities by providing unparalleled support not only for them, but for their entire families. Founded in 1977, PACER has a variety of tools on their web site for parents and children who are dealing with the consequences of bullying as well as offering resources on topics such as the juvenile justice system, dropout prevention programs, and health systems information.

South Line holds annual parade The South Line Fire Company held their annual Halloween Parade recently at the Main Hall on French Road. Ghosts and Goblins, Princesses and Clowns and many others came and marched down French Road to the Senior Apartments and back to the Fire Hall in hopes of winning a Prize in one of the categories. This year’s winners are pictured below from left to right: The Funniest was Little Chicken who was Ryan Burns from Depew; The Cutest were The Twins Alex and Austin Benaglio, from Lancaster, who were six months old and accompanied by their dad, Scott; The Scariest was the Blue Zombie who was Lucas Struch from Cheektowaga,

Elderwood residents, volunteers put their skills to work A sewing group at Elderwood at Cheektowaga is proving that living in a skilled nursing facility is no obstacle to giving back to the community. Elderwood at Cheektowaga volunteers and residents have a long history of community service. Their latest efforts are helping local children with serious health concerns through the Beads of Courage program. Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo is one of 150 children’s hospitals throughout the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Japan and the United Kingdom participating in the program, designed to help children record, tell and own their stories of courage during treatment for cancer and other serious illness. Every colorful bead represents a

beads. Upon learning about Beads of Courage, Director of Volunteer Services Johann Komurek reached out to the sewing group at Elderwood at Cheektowaga. The group is made up of volunteers and the “Thursday Morning PinUp Girls,” residents who can no longer sew, but pin all the fabric together. The group has donated their time and fabric to create fun bags for children to hold their beads in. To date, they have made and donated more than 70 bags and have expanded their donations to include pillow cases for children experiencing lengthier hospital stays. Along with the bag or pillow case, a personal note is attached: “Wishing sunny days ahead.”

WNY Charities highlighted at Christmas in the Country A favorite Western New York tradition, the Christmas in the Country Holiday Artisan Market will celebrate its 30th season when it returns to the Hamburg Fairgrounds Nov. 6-9. As it has done every year since its very first year of existence, Christmas in the Country will provide a grand platform for local charities to raise money. Throughout the 30-year history of Christmas in the Country, giving back to the community has always been an integral part of the event. This year, participating non-profit groups

will include Gerard Place, Churches in Action, Hamburg Eden Animal Rescue Team (H.E.A.R.T.), Variety — The Children’s Charity of Buffalo and the Hamburg Presbyterian Church. “Helping those in need has always been who we are, both as a company and people of this community,” said Sally Kaczynski, founder of Christmas in the Country. Participating charities use different means to generate donations — from selling shopping bags to patrons, to holding raffles, to an artisan-donated silent auction. “The charities and

their many volunteers are found throughout the event and they work very hard this weekend and throughout the year for their wonderful causes. We are honored to be a small part of raising over $1.4 million dollars throughout the history of our events.” This year, Christmas in the Country will welcome more than 400 artisans spread out over five buildings. Attendees will find unique handcrafted creations made in the USA, including home decor, gourmet foods and wine, original music, trendset-

ting jewelry, hand-poured aromatic candles, children’s toys and clothing, stylish pottery, original wall art, gifts for pets and holiday gift items galore. In 2013, Christmas in the Country was recognized as the No. 2 Contemporary and Classic Artisan Market in the nation by Sunshine Artist, the leading publication in the art and craft event industry. The event has ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in the nation for the past 11 years. Celebrating its 30th anniversary and drawing almost 60,000 visitors over four days and fea-

turing only handmade products made in the United States, the event is widely recognized today as the preeminent holiday artisan market in North America. Christmas in the Country will run from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 6 and 7, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 8, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Hamburg Fairgrounds. Discount tickets are available through Wednesday, Nov. 5, at select locations through Erie County. For a complete list of locations, visit www.wnypremierpromotions.com. For more than 30 years,

Premier Promotions has produced high quality, extremely successful artisan events including Springtime in the Country, Christmas in the Country, Christmas in the Country-Erie and Yuletide in the Country. The events are consistently ranked among the Top 100 artisan shows in America by Sunshine Artist magazine. Last year, more than 90,000 visitors attended these events purchasing more than $4.5 million in high quality, handcrafted goods from juried artists and artisans.

Resident turns 100 years old By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

On October 27, Ruth Boehringer celebrated a very special day – her 100th birthday. Senior Services Director Kerry Switalski and Town Supervisor Mary Holtz took some time out of their day to stop by her home in the Sky Harbor Mobile Home Park and bring her a birthday cake and a dozen roses – her home was packed with her family there celebrating with her, and her excitement at having them together was tangible. The real party had been held the day before, when 50 of her closest friends and family gathered at the Moose Club in East Aurora for her party. That family includes two children, four grandchildren, six great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren – not counting the neighborhood kids whom she took under her wing when she and her husband lived on Leslie Street in Buffalo.

Her husband, Harold, passed away in 1983, and although she says it's made for some lonely times, she hasn't let anything slow her down. She drives her own car, with a bumper sticker that says, “I'm Spending My Children's Inheritance”. She's an active member of the senior center, where she can often be found playing card games like Pinochle and celebrating the holidays. “She shared a story of one Halloween party she attended at the center with her group of seniors from Sky Harbor,” says Switalski. “They came dressed as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Ruth said, “Guess what dwarf I was?! Happy.... because all my friends say that's what I always am.”. I agreed.” The party was 15 years ago, Switalski says, but she remembers it like it was yesterday. In addition to her activities at the Cheektowaga Senior Center, she's also active in the Prince of Peace Church, and volunteers her time to help with the church's news-

letter. She loves going out to eat, with Bob Evans being a favorite no matter what time of day. Her health and her attitude are inspiring, and according to her, there's only a few secrets. “I don't let any grass grow under my feet,” she says modestly. And every morning, she thanks God for giving her another day. She has a lot to be grateful for – her health, her friends, her family, and all of her activities – and grateful, she is. She's also incredibly inspiring to those around her, who invariably describe her as one of the sweetest, kindest, nicest ladies they've ever met. Switalski agrees that her adage is a good one. “Staying active, having friends and belonging to social groups does help us age better and keeps us healthier longer,” she says. “Ruth is an excellent example of living full out – of making the best of every day and of treasuring each moment. I can only hope to age so gracefully!”

On Thursday, November 13, the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce will be partnering with Erie County to make it extra easy for veterans to sign up for their Thank A Vet Discount Card. They'll be set up from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the AppleTree Business Park, located at 2875 Union Road. Representatives will be at the main entrance. “The Thank A Vet program is a great opportunity for businesses to offer discounts to our veterans, expressing the business's appreciation for the veterans' service to our country,” says Debra Liegl, president of the Cheektowaga Chamber of Commerce. “We encourage our members to participate in the Thank A Vet program. This year, we're taking it a step further and, with the assistance of the Erie County Clerk's Of-

fice and the management of the AppleTree Business Park, we were able to coordinate an outreach to the veterans.” More than 1,000 local businesses participate in the program, and rewards vary based on the business. Cheektowaga participants include Bath Fitter, CleveHill Auto and Tire, Darling Paint, Inc, Glenwell Adult Care Facility, Hands & Paws Cookies & Treats, Inc, Hanzlian's Homemade Sausage & Deli, Remodel WNY, Santangelo Salon, Spa & Clinic, Shades Unlimited, SUNY Empire State College, and others, with more participants being added all the time. In order to sign up for the program, veterans must present their original, honorable discharge papers to the County Clerk's Office or to representatives at one of their outreach programs, such as this one. (Those who have lost their papers can file for new ones with

the National Archives and Records Administration.) For those who can't make it to the November 13 event, Discount Cards can always be applied for at the Old County Hall, located at 92 Franklin Street across the street from the Rath Building. They process documents between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Driving into the city can be a pain, though, and Liegl and her team are hoping to make it that much easier for veterans to claim their cards. “The convenient location of the AppleTree Business Park, with its easy parking and easy access, makes it the perfect location for our veterans to come to sign up for their discount cards,” she says. “We are so pleased to be a part of this program and offer our thanks to our veterans for their service.” For more information about the program, call 858-4737.

Help keep transportation a reality ‘Day of Thanks’ to be By Debra Kelly

COURIER CORRESPONDENT

Many of us take our transportation for granted – we get in the car and go. For those that can't drive, though, getting to and from doctor's appointments or the grocery store can be an insurmountable challenge. You might not want to bother friends or family, or your usual ride might not be available. Fortunately, the Senior Services department has a transportation service that's always available, but it also needs the support of the community to keep up and running. They have recently announced a fundraiser, in the hopes of raising enough capital to make sure their fleet of vans is always as reliable as the drivers that take the utmost care in getting people from Point A to Point B and back again. Vans – especially

those that are wheelchair accessible – aren't cheap, and when it comes time to replace one of them, the fund-raising campaign will help make sure that funds are there. More than 1,100 people take advantage of the Going Places transportation program. More than just making sure they can get back and forth to essential services and appointments, the program also means that people are able to stay in there homes and maintain their independence for longer. “On any given day, we may service between 40 and 60 seniors,” says director Kerry Switalski. “Many take the van multiple times per week – for example, some of our clients on dialysis use our van service three times a week.” Part of the costs associated with the van service are shouldered by those who use

it. There is a suggested donation of $3 each way for regular vans, and $8 each way for wheelchair accessible vans. That's much less than other types of transportation companies, and it's only a suggested donation – the program doesn't turn away anyone who can't afford that. “Our main goal is to keep senior members living independently and well as long as possible,” says Switalski. “Seniors call me often to tell me how wonderful our drivers are, and how the program is their lifeline to independence.” According to one thank you note that she recently received: Please make sure [the drivers] are made aware of how much they impact the lives of those who aren't able to drive. They truly make a difference and I, for one, am grateful for their service. Reservations can be made

up to two weeks in advance, and priority is given to medical appointments. However, it's fund-raisers like this one and the generosity of the community that make sure there's enough vans to take care of anyone who needs a ride. Five vans run every day Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and one van runs on Saturdays. There are 16 part-time drivers on staff, and there are three full time dispatchers that serve not only the Cheektowaga community but others in the area, making schedules and making sure that everyone can get where they need to go. For a $100 donation, a name will be engraved on the In Memoriam plaque in the senior center's lobby. Other donations will give donors the chance to have a star engraved with their name, which is then hung in the banquet hall. A bronze star will be awarded for a $500+ donation, a silver star for a $1,000+ donation and a gold star for a $2,500+ donation. Donations made to the campaign are tax deductible, and the program will be running through January 31, 2015. Checks should be made payable to the Cheektowaga Senior Citizens Foundation, Inc, (with Foundation Fundraiser in the memo line) and can be dropped off at the center or mailed to 3349 Broadway, Cheektowaga, NY, 14227.

Helping students start their scholastic journey Erie Community College and the Lackawanna City Court’s Education 2 Recovery and Pathways Court Initiative offers free high school equivalency classes and other education-related services to those ready to pursue vocations via two-year degree or certificate programs. And with open enrollment now available, the initiative is waiting for individuals eager to start down a new, focused career path. “ECC is proud to team with the Lackawanna City Court on this educational initiative,” ECC President Jack Quinn said. “Partnerships like this strengthen our community, and we at the college are always looking for these types of opportunities.” For over 12 years, ECC and local judicial districts have teamed up to provide individuals disabled by substance abuse and/ or mental health problems with educational case management while they are participating in treatment. However, having realized that approximately 45 percent of these participants did not have a

high school diploma, ECC has joined with Lackawanna City Court—just like it has with Buffalo and Niagara Falls city courts in the past—for an educational partnership that brings equivalency classes right to the court site. In line with ECC’s tag line of, “start here, go anywhere,” this partnership pathway encourages just that, and is the first of its kind in New York State. Classes are held inside Lackawanna City Court’s Hank Pirowski Education Center from 1 to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Along with courses focused on advancing eager students forward, the program also offers additional services, including career advisement; information about Educational Opportunity Program and Accuplacer test dates; referral to an academic advisor; and eventual assistance with ECC’s entry application and financial aid forms like FAFSA and TAP. For additional information, stop by the location at 714 Ridge Rd., or call Jennifer Dunn at 845-7218.

Roswell Park now offering screening mammograms for general public Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) announces the expansion of its breast imaging services to the general public, offering routine screening mammography to non-patients in an effort to improve breast cancer screening rates and increase detection of breast cancer at the earliest, most curable stages.

Mammography is the only screening test thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven to reduce a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risk of dying from the disease.

Appointments take approximately 30 minutes, and women receive a personal phone call the following morning with their results. RPCI recommends that women at average risk should begin yearly mammograms at age 40. Personal risk factors such as family history of the disease may warrant screening beginning at an earlier age. Women should discuss their personal factors with their healthcare providers.

Events planned for the Feast of All Saints

Beginning on Nov. 1, the Feast of All Saints, and throughout the following day of All Soul’s Day, all the people of Poland leave their work day behind and head to the cemeteries where their ancestors and loved ones are buried. They come bearing flowers, candles and wreathes to place at the gravesites. They come to remember the dead, to reflect on a life once lived and to honor their memory. It is the day of Zaduski, the day when everyone takes time to reflect and think of those who have died. In very olden preChristian times it was believed that the dead came back to visit the earth on this day and that they roamed their familiar earthly places. The people of Poland held a solemn meal on the evening of All Souls Day, with empty seats and plates for those members of the family who had died in recent years. It was also customary in those days to bring food to the cemetery in order to feed the dead soul. With the advance of Christianity this latter custom underwent significant changes. What developed instead was the distribution of what is now called by many

countries and cultures as Bread for the Dead. Even the poorest family would bake at least one loaf bread before going to the church or cemetery. This was usually made of rye and shaped into a long loaf with a cross on top, which was also made of bread dough. At the church and cemetery they would give the bread to the many poor beggars who flocked to the local churches during these two important days. In exchange for the bread, the beggar would call out the name of the deceased relative, recite prayers and sing holy songs. In this way the deceased knew that they were remembered. Over time, this tradition also changed and evolved into having the parish priest call out the names of the deceased during services on the Feast of All Souls at the cemetery or in church. In Polish, this cherished remembrance for the dead it is called wypominki. It is one of the most cherished and popular forms of prayer for the dead that dates back to the 10th century. Family and friends write the names of the deceased they wish to have remembered on cards that are distributed at the

cemetery or church. The card, along with a free will offering, is handed to the priest who during the course of the service calls out of the names of the deceased, invoking their memory and praying for them. We are who we are from those who came before us. We have received our stories, our heritage from those who lie in the cemetery. It is important to remember them. The All Souls commemorations in Polonia have always been strong and this year will be no different. Mark your calendars for Polish Ancestors Day. The official dedication of the new restored wooden cross that has marked the grave of Michalina Buczkowska (1898-1914) will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1 at St. Adalbert’s Old Cemetery, 1621 Dale Rd., Cheektowaga. For those of you who have been following the story, the old wooden cross was found rotted and broken off. The restoration project was spearheaded by Edward Kornowski with the generous support of the Polish Community. A blessing will be given by Father Thaddeus Bocianowski, who will

also offer a Prayer for the Dead, in the Polish tradition of All Souls Day. All parishioners, donors, the public and anyone who has deceased relatives interned at this cemetery are invited to attend. This cemetery is closest to Home Depot. Please park near the Mausoleum. Also on Saturday, Nov. 1, the Resurrection Mausoleum at St. Stanislaus Cemetery, located at 700 Pine Ridge Rd. in Cheektowaga, will be another site of Polish Ancestors Day and Mass for All Souls. The office of St. Stanislaus Cemetery will be open from 9 a.m. to noon to assist those looking for ancestral graves. Assistance with finding graves can also be obtained by calling the cemetery office at 892-9135. Beginning at noon there will be a sale of memorial candles imported from Poland and mums to place at the gravesites. The Polish Genealogical Society of WNY will be on hand to assist with family research free of charge. At 2 p.m. there will be a Mass for All Souls celebrated in the mausoleum by Fr. Czeslaw Krysa, with wypominki, the reading of names of the dearly departed.

At 3 p.m. there will be visits to the graves of loved ones with candles and flowers. Other graves of note to be visited will be that of the founder of St. Stanislaus Parish, Fr. John Pitass, and the Polish WWII Veterans Plot, honoring those who fought valiantly during World War II and suffered in concentration camps. At 7 p.m. Fr. Czeslaw Krysa, rector of St. Casimir Oratory, located at 160 Cable St. in Buffalo, will have a 7 p.m. Remembrance Mass with wypominki. Bring photos of your deceased loved ones to put on the tables as a way of honoring and cherishing their memory. This event is organized by Polish Legacy Project of Buffalo and the Polish Genealogical Society of New York State. For more information and to reserve candles for the event at St. Stanislaus cemetery, call Andy Golebiowski at 5107562.

Sullivan comes through as Cleve Hill’s quarterback By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

Throughout its history, Cleveland Hill has been known for its strong rushing attack. But especially in recent years, the Eagles have had some strong quarterbacks as well. From Rocket Wiggins to Daryl Spencer toAaron Jackson and many others, the bar has been set high for the man standing under center for the Eagles. It’s Anthony Sullivan’s turn this season and the senior understands that part of the job is delivering in the postseason. “In previous years, quarterbacks came through for Cleveland Hill,” Sullivan said. “It’s my turn to keep going. It’s the playoffs and me being the starting quarterback, there’s pressure. But I’m ready.”

And he showed that. In the playoff opener, Cleveland Hill was led by a pair of 100-yard rushers, but Sullivan came through when called upon. First, he threw a 9-yard touchdown to Grayson Taylor with two seconds left in the first half to give the Eagles the lead for good. Then, he put the game away late with a dazzling 60yard touchdown run. “He’s athletic,” Cleveland Hill coach Glen Graham said after a 24-6 win over Salamanca in a Section VI Class C quarterfinal. “That last TD when he was able to run the option and close it out for us, that’s why we like having Anthony back there.” Sullivan started last season as the starting quarterback but suffered an early injury. That opened the door for Jackson, who took the reins and helped lead the Eagles to the state semifinals for the first time in program history. But Sullivan proved he could play, throwing for 269 yards

and adding another 176 on the ground. He contributed a total of four touchdowns. And heading into the season, the Eagles had full confidence in the senior left-hander under center. “I like Anthony back there,” Graham said in a preseason interview. “After he got hurt last year, the other kid came in and did a real good job. But we have confidence in Anthony.” Traditionally, Cleveland Hill’s offense has been run-first and that’s certainly the norm for a Class C program. And this season is no different for the Eagles. Through eight games, Cleveland Hill has run the ball 307 times and thrown just 107 passes. But Sullivan has made the most of his opportunities, throwing for 490 yards and six touchdowns and contributing another 248 yards and two scores on the ground. “When my number is called, I have to do what I have to do.” Sullivan said.

Cleve Hill clips Salamanca in Class C quarterfinals By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

Cleveland Hill knew a rematch with rival Southwestern awaited in the Section VI Class C semifinals if the Eagles got past Round 1. And that turned out to be a pretty big if. Underdog Salamanca came to play on Saturday (Oct. 25) and gave the Eagles all they could handle, but Cleveland

Hill ultimately proved too powerful in a 24-6 win at Carl J. Kuras Field. “The guys stayed focused on the task and we got through,” Cleveland Hill coach Glen Graham said. “Salamanca, we knew they were coming to play. They’re a good team and they’ve got a lot of pride. When you play them in the playoffs, it’s always tough.” Cleveland Hill, the top seed from Class C North, scored two toughcowns in the final seven minutes to put away Salamanca, the fourth seed from Class C South. The Eagles (6-2) won their seventh straight Section

VI playoff game. “We came out slow and we had to get the pace going, but we did it,” said Cleveland Hill running back Grayson Taylor, who ran for 121 yards and had two total touchdowns. “We finished strong and that’s all that matters. I’m just glad they we’re moving on.” The Eagles will host Southwestern at 2 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 1) back at Kuras Field. The first meeting didn’t go well for Cleveland Hill, which dropped a 38-18 decision on the road to the Trojans on Sept. 19. Cleveland Hill hasn’t lost

since. “They’re coming here and we’re weeks better, hopefully,” Graham said. “We weren’t mature enough that early to make that long trip and play well. They’ve got to make the long trip this time, and we just have to be better.” This time, it will be Southwestern making the 80-mile trip. And the Eagles are on a five-game winning streak and have revenge on their minds. “I’m looking to get back at them,” Taylor said. “It was a bitter loss and I’m just looking to make it sweet.” And although it was tougher

than some may have expected, Cleveland Hill earned a chance at redemption with a hardfought win over Salamanca. The two-time defending sectional champs overcame a game Salamanca effort as well as a boatload of holding penalties to move within one game of a fourth straight trip to Ralph Wilson Stadium. As always, the Eagles’ twoheaded rushing monster of Taylor and Jermaine Hairston led the way. The senior fullback Hairston added 107 yards and a touchdown on offense and three sacks on defense. Anthony Sullivan ran for

87 yards, including a gameclinching 60-yard TD sprint with less than a minute to play. Taylor topped 100 yards for the sixth time this season — and the Eagles moved to 6-0 on the season when the star back reaches triple figures. But his biggest play came in the passing game as he caught a nine-yard pass from Sullivan for the go-ahead touchdown with two seconds left in the first half. Jared Fish finished with 119 passing yards for Salamanca, including a 78-yard touchdown to Mat Crandall in the first quarter.

Bojanowski’s opening kick return settles Class B quarters By Mike Petro SPORTS REPORTER

In practice a day before the program’s first playoff appearance since 2009, Jeff Buccieri admitted that he saw his Maryvale football team struggle with its kick return group on special teams. Still, he challenged his team to make a play right out of the gate. The Flyers did just that. Surprisingly, that play was made while returning the opening kickoff. Brandon Bojanowski returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown before either offense hit the field and Derrick Dirado added the pointafter-try to account for the only points of the Class B playoff opener Friday at East Aurora. Seventh-seed Maryvale held on

for a 7-0 win over No. 2 East Aurora/Holland. “The way it looked, I thought we’d get a couple more points, but sometimes that happens in a playoff game when both teams are fighting for their lives,” Buccieri said. “We were very lucky to get those points early and then basically hang on.” Even as the opening kickoff was in the air, Bojanowski said there was some uncertainty for the return team. He and fellow deep man Marcus Ford both went to catch the kick, but it was Bojanowski who came down with it, then found a hole in the middle of the field and shot through the opening. “There was a little bad communication back there,” said Bojanowski, a senior. “I called it but he didn’t hear me and it was on his side, but I found the hole and just took it as fast as I could. It just worked out for us…I can’t thank anyone else but my blockers out there.” East Aurora/Holland started three of its final four drives

DAVID ECKHARDT

Brandon Bojanowski’s opening kickoff return were all the points Maryvale needed. of the game in Maryvale territory but never got closer to the Flyers’ end zone than the 28-yard-line. The Blue Devils were set up at Maryvale’s 44 with under four minutes left in the game, after an AJ Perlino fumble recovery, but they turned the ball over on downs in four plays and the Flyers ran out the clock. Maryvale was held to just three second-half first downs. The final one came with under a minute to play on a 6-yard

run by Ford, which clinched the victory. Ford finished with 50 yards on 10 carries, as well as recording a fourth-quarter interception on defense. Both teams run the same offense and knew one another well coming into the game, Buccieri said. He added his team put an emphasis on not allowing East Aurora/Holland to get to the outside. The Flyers allowed only two first downs in the first half and none in the second.

The Flyers got to Blue Devils’ quarterback Connor Allan five times on the evening. Demante Chatmon led the Maryvale defense with two sacks, while recording one each were teammates Steve Schroeder, Mike Kelleher and Joey Cartonia. “The defense played great,” Bojanowski said. “We did a lot of homework and the coaches were doing a lot of looking at video. We couldn’t do it without the help of the coaches and all 11 players out there.” The win was also a bit of revenge for Maryvale, which lost to EastAurora on the same field the last time the Flyers made the playoffs. The teams were two of the brighter stories in Western New York football, having bounced back from a combined record of 5-13 in 2013. Mike Halferty recorded 50 yards on eight carries for Maryvale. Maryvale went from 2-7 last season to 7-1 as it heads into the next round of the Class B playoffs. The Flyers have

stepped up and performed at a high level without much prodding from the coaching staff, Buccieri said. “It’s been the character of the guys and ownership they’ve taken, as far as being accountable and coming to practice ready every day,” Buccieri said. “They’re coach-able and hungry to take this program in a positive direction.” In the semifinals, the Flyers are set for a rematch with Cheektowaga after Maryvale beat its rival soundly in the regular season finale. Cheektowaga defeated defending sectional champion Depew to advance. “We did beat Cheektowaga, but they’re just a stellar program,” Buccieri said. “We know it’s hard to beat a good team twice and they’ll be gunning for us…This is unchartered water for us. We’re usually in a bowl game or consolation game. We’re just happy to be here and move on and we’ll look to improve for next week.”

Flyers’ run-by-committee approach lifts team in 2014 By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

There’s no question Marcus Ford is one of the more talented running backs in Western New York. And another man in the same shoes might be annoyed that he has less than a third of his team’s carries. Not Ford. The Maryvale High School senior knows there a lot of good running backs on

the team and the Flyers committee approach has led to big things. “I like different people carrying the ball,” Ford said. “It gives me a break, they get in and everyone is doing well. It works for us.” The unselfish, team-first attitude has been a focal point in Maryvale’s best season in years. The Flyers are in the postseason for the first time in six years and a committee backfield is a big reason for that. Maryvale has run for more than 2,200 yards as a team and seven different ball carriers have made significant contribu-

tions to that number. “It makes it tough for a defense to key in on one guy,” Maryvale coach Jeff Buccieri said. “Teams were starting to key in on Marcus and if you do that, we’re going to hit you with another guy. When our line is firing off low and hard and our backs are running hard, we’re a tough offense to stop.” Ford leads the team in carries (101) and yards (678). He’s topped 50 yards in all eight games thus far for Maryvale and he’s delivered the most in the biggest wins. He delivered 131-yard performance in a 35-6 statement win over

Cheektowaga on Oct. 17 and had a season-best 152 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-18 win over Alden that served notice to Western New York that the Flyers are legit in 2014. Sophomore fullback Kwaine Davis leads the team in touchdowns with six and has 471 yards, second-best on the team. He had a season-best 146-yard outburst against Akron. Bruising fullback Mike Halferty has 440 yards and two TDs for Maryvale. The senior topped the 100-yard mark against both Akron and Cheektowaga. Brandon Bojanowski also

has 354 yards and 100-yard games against Tonawanda and Cheektowaga. He’s also a dynamic kick returner, shown by the 95-yard return of the opening kickoff in a 7-0 win over East Aurora. Sophomore Austin Reamsnyder has also made the most of limited opportunities with 107 yards on 18 carries. He has a pair of touchdowns. Quarterback Eric Graham has also collected 136 yards on the ground to go with 343 passing yards. He has seven total TDs. In all, the Flyers have made the most of their 330 carries,

collecting 2,223 yards and 21 scores. “As long as the blocks are there, we’ll make sure the runs are there,” Bojanowski said. “Our line has done a great job all year, they deserve the credit.” And with nobody worrying about statistics or internal competition, the Flyers have made sure to get the team into the end zone. And that has led to a 7-1 start to the season. “We don’t care who gets the ball,” Halferty said. “We all put in the work so everyone deserves to get carries. As long as we win, we’re all happy with that.”

Central defeats Depew, earns rematch with Maryvale By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

One might have expected a much larger celebration for the Cheektowaga High School football team on Friday night (Oct. 24). After all, the Warriors had snapped a run of first-round misery and eliminated defending Section VI Class B champion Depew with an impressive 41-24 victory. And while the scoreboard on the South side of the field was certainly cause for cheers, the real buzz came from cell phone checks. And even more excitement came from the news that the Warriors will get a chance to atone for a lopsided Week 7 loss. It will be Cheektowaga vs. Maryvale again next weekend. The third-seeded Warriors owned the second

half on Friday night in front of a packed house. The Flyers, coming off a 35-6 win at Cheektowaga a week earlier, won 7-0 at East Aurora. “We want Maryvale next week,” said Cheektowaga fullback Dreqon Trotter, who had two sacks on defense and a rushing touchdown on offense. “They took our pride away last week so I want them bad.” Cheektowaga will get a chance to atone a Week 7 disaster against rival Maryvale as the Flyers visit the Warriors for the second time in three weeks. The Maroon Madness Rivalry had been all Cheektowaga for more than a decade but Maryvale snapped a 12-game losing streak to the Warriors in style in Week 7. A week from now, nobody will care about the first meeting. In fact, Cheektowaga was past it long ago. “When they came in on Monday, we didn’t even watch the film,” Cheektowaga coach Mike Fatta said. “What we did instead was we made a highlight film for them and

Cheektowaga’s Stephan Parker and his Warrior teammates will take on Maryvale in the semis. showed them the plays we’ve made during the year. We said, ‘This is who we are. I don’t know who that was last Friday, but this is who we are.’” And a second win this season against Depew didn’t come easy. But the Warriors defense, which gave up nearly 500 yards against Maryvale, came up big against the

Wildcats again when it mattered most. The Warriors held high-powered Depew off the scoreboard for the game’s last 21 minutes and Cheektowaga scored the last 20 points of the contest. “The second half we just had to turn it up,” said Cheektowaga running back Marshawn Gibson, who had

146 yards and a touchdown. “They really couldn’t stop offense so we just kept grinding and pounding. And the defense came up big for us in the second half.” Tyler Anna’s 29-yard field goal gave Depew a 24-21 lead after the first drive of the second half, but it was all Warriors from there. Cheektowaga regained the lead on Gibson’s 4-yard TD run and extended the edge on Zak Ciezki’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Davion Stallworth early in the fourth. Naheem Shah sealed the deal with a 42-yard interception return for the game’s final score. Ciezki finished with 145 yards passing and two touchdowns and 94 more yards on the ground. Jerell Rolling had four of Cheektowaga’s nine sacks. Ty Lawson had a touchdown rushing and receiving in the first half for the Warriors. For Depew, Dylan Sekuterski threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns and added 68 yards and another score on the ground. Anna had an 86yard touchdown reception on

offense and two interceptions on defense to go with his field goal. The Wildcats (6-2), who reached the state semifinals a year ago, were hit hard by injuries all season long. Standout receiver Bobby Burns missed the game, while star fullback and linebacker Nick Perrine was severely limited by an injury first suffered in Week 3. Cheektowaga (6-2) had lost playoff home games in each of the last three years, including first-round upsets in 2012 and 2013. But that’s all a thing of the past now for the Warriors – as is Week 7. It’s all about getting back to Ralph Wilson Stadium for the first time since the 2009 championship season. One more win against a rival will net that – and the revenge Cheektowaga desperately covets against Maryvale (7-1). “That’s who the kids wanted and that’s who they’re getting,” Fatta said after learning the Maryvale game had ended, “so we’ll see how it goes.”

Warriors defense comes up big when it matters most By Mike Pidanick SPORTS REPORTER

There’s no questioning the plethora of offensive weapons the Cheektowaga High School football team has. The Warriors have averaged more than 32 points per game and scored at least four

touchdowns in all six of their victories. But come playoff time, strong defensive play is also a necessity. And when it mattered most, the Warriors got that. Cheektowaga’s defense came up huge against defending Class B Section VI champion Depew in the quarterfinals, especially in the second half. “To hold a team like that to three points in the second half, we were playing real good defense,” linebacker Drequon

Trotter said. “A couple big passes and we made some mistakes. But we cleaned it up in the second half.” Other than a Week 7 loss against Maryvale, the Warriors have had no trouble putting points on the board. In the regular season, Cheektowaga topped 1,100 yards rushing and 1,700 yards passing. The Warriors scored 29 touchdowns. Defensively, they have weapons as well and that finally showed in the postseason opener. “We’ve been up and down

defensively,” said Warriors head coach Mike Fatta, who was formerly the defensive coordinator. “If we want a chance at going anywhere, we’ve got to play well defensively from here on out.” The second half of the sectional quarterfinal was likely Cheektowaga’s best defensive half of the year. Depew didn’t score in the last 21 minutes of the game as the Warriors pulled away for a 41-24 victory, Cheektowaga’s first playoff win since 2011. Even in the first half, the

Warriors were strong on defense for the most part. In fact, the Wildcats scored 17 of their 24 points on fourth-down plays and the other score came on an 86-yard touchdown pass on a third-and-16 play. In the second half, there were no such breakdowns for Cheektowaga. “Defensively, they had a real good half,” Fatta said. “We changed some coverages that obviously weren’t working in the first half. They really stepped up.” The defense even delivered

the biggest play of the second half. Senior Naheem Shah returned an interception 42 yards for the game-clinching score. “I was just in the right place and I was ready to score,” he said. Heroes were plentiful on the defensive side of the ball. Jerell Rolling had four of Cheektowaga’s nine sacks and now is tied for the team lead in that stat at seven with Tyree Billingslee, who also had a sack against Depew. Trotter also had two sacks in that game.

Combating financial needs in the classroom, one school at a time By Anna Cappello COURIER INTERN

Four-hundred and eighth five. According to a recent national survey, this is the average amount of money that teachers spend on school supplies and classroom materials out of their own pockets each year. But what if there was a program that allowed school teachers to shop for supplies without paying a single cent?

This nonprofit organization could not be possible without these volunteers. The good news is such a program does exist and it’s called The Teachers Desk. This organization was founded by John Mika who, after working 30 years at GM and as a substitute teacher at Williamsville Public School, was driven to help the community. He specifically wanted to give students in need tools for education. “I just saw the incredible difference between what kids in the city schools don’t have and what kids in suburbs do have” Mika said. The Teachers Desk, set up like an officesupply store, allows teachers to shop for classroom necessities like paper, pencils, glue and children’s books. Other organizational supplies such as binders and folders are available as well for no charge. A grand total of $200,000 in free school supplies is distributed on a weekly basis. Reaching out to 84,000 students annually throughout Western New

York, this ministry is more than ready to combat any financial problems in the classroom. “We have about 150 schools all the way from Salamanca to Ripley and pretty much everywhere in between” Mika said. “And we are always looking for more schools.” Any school that has 70 percent or greater student participation in the National School Lunch Program, Mika stated, is eligible to shop at The Teachers Desk. Each teacher receives $900 on average in free supplies for their classroom. Does your school meet the requirements and want to be registered? If the answer is yes, call 716-348-3412 or email shopping@ theteacherdesk.org to receive aid from Mika and his team of genuine volunteers who are ready to provide support for students in need. This nonprofit organization could not be possible without these volunteers, Mika explained, and there is always room for more help. A simple email to volunteer@ theteachersdesk.org can incorporate you into a program striving to make a difference in the Buffalo area. “It’s good for families, for high school kids in need of volunteer hours, and for retired adults as well” Mika stated. The Teacher’s Desk is located at 22 Northampton St. in Buffalo.

ECC hires new human resources director

Erie Community College President Jack Quinn is pleased to announce Tracey Cleveland as ECC’s new director of human resources. “We’re excited to add someone with Tracey’s experience and achievements to our ECC team,” Quinn said. “We’re always looking for opportunities to enhance our college for current and future students. Having Tracey at the lead of our human resources operation is yet another example of these ongoing efforts.” The Rochester native is an experienced human resource management professional with a record of achievement, improving the performance of strategic HR functions in growing organizations. She arrives at ECC after serving as human resource manager at Avery Dennison Corporation in Painesville. Prior to this role, she served as a human resource and talent manager at Alcoa in Massena and Cleveland, Ohio. She received her B.S. in Business Management from California State Dominguez Hills and her master’s of public administration from SUNY Albany. Cleveland began her career in human resources at the New York State Department of Transportation, where she served as the director of the office of equal opportunity development and compliance for seven years. She developed guidelines and policy related to equal opportunity initiatives; worked closely with minority and woman-owned businesses; and later became a regional human resources manager, accountable for training, human resources administration, safety, employee relations and information systems.

Buttino extends his gratitude to hometown for publicizing Reading Rainbow By Anna Cappello SUN INTERN

Many Americans can say they owe their love of reading to a certain television phenomenon that broke the barriers between reading and TV, created right here in Buffalo. Running for more than two decades, and reaching out to 6.5 million students nationwide, “Reading Rainbow” on PBS became the most frequently watched program in schools. And Tony Buttino, receiver of five Emmys for coexecutive producing the show, expresses his gratitude to his hometown for making it all possible years later. “Thanks to the people of Western New York who came together… they were gifted” Buttino said. “And as the saying goes ‘if you do something, you are doing something for the child’ and in this case it seemed to prosper.” And the idea behind “Reading Rainbow?”

It was due to a problem well known in education as the ‘summer loss phenomenon.’ This commonly occurs with students who do not read during summer break and have a hard time catching up to the drilling school routine come September. “So we thought, ‘maybe we can look at a show that might help youngsters get motivated to read over the summer’” Buttino explained. A graduate of Bishop Timon High School and Ithica College, Buttino started his broadcasting career as a cameraman for Channel 17. He spent 40 years behind the scenes of WNED-TV

working as a foreman, director, production manager, and finally overseeing the development of “Reading Rainbow.” The goal of this program was to advocate children’s reading comprehension at the elementary level and through the help of local librarians, reading teachers, and college professors this goal turned into a reality. “The Buffalo library system and reading teachers were very cordial and we even got some grants for kids to get some of these books. It all came together very nicely” Buttino recalled. “We worked with West Seneca schools and

the West Seneca library to pull this idea together.” The format of “Reading Rainbow” took young viewers on TV field trips using an animated story with illustrations from a particular book. It also promoted Featured Stories, where kids

critiqued books and ended the program with catchy phrases such as “I read this book, and you should too!” Buttino reflected that the main challenge after the creation of “Reading Rainbow” was to promote the TV show in an era where books and television were not friendly to each other. Librarians at the time pretty much said “turn off the TV and read the book.” The concept of combining the two was never seen before and transformed the learning spectrum for ages to come. Thankfully, Buffalo libraries were open to new ideas and helped create a segway for the

show to flourish. “I realize as an adult that we tend to prejudge people sometimes” Buttino said. “We were prejudging librarians and reading teachers with the idea that maybe they won’t participate, but we misread it. It just happened that they decided ‘yes let’s do this together.’” Buttino recently received the “Behind the Scenes” Award at the Buffalo Broadcasters Association Awards celebration on Sept. 18 for his work at WNED-TV. He was inducted into the BBA 18th annual Hall of Fame along with Jack Armstrong and others.

ECC honored as one of the nation’s best colleges for vets Erie Community College is known as a Western New York leader in providing support and career-focused education for returning U.S. serviceman. But thanks to recent accolades in a servicemenfocused national publication, the college will enter 2015 recognized as one of the country’s best colleges for veterans. Military Times – an independent news and information organization dedicated to service members and their families; and comprised of the Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times – recently ranked ECC seventh overall (and tops in New York State) among the country’s best career and technical colleges in its annual “Best for Vets” issue, determined by a highly respected, nearly 110-question analysis of a college’s

efforts to provide veterans an environment for success. ECC’s devoted Veterans Affairs offices (at each campus), affordability and staff support for the college’s over 550 student vets earned high marks from the organization, but also validated the college’s veteran commitment at a national level. “This is not only another example of how ECC is gaining national recognition for its education, but another instance in which hard work pays off,” ECC President Jack Quinn said. “Our college’s Veterans Affairs staff has worked tirelessly to give our returning servicemen the support, education and the career opportunities they deserve, and we look forward to continuing this dedication to our U.S. veterans for years to come.” Regularly recognized as the best college for vets

in the Buffalo-Niagara region, ECC has also earned national recognition for its veteran efforts in such publications as Military Advanced Education Magazine, NJCAA Review and previously with Military Times EDGE Magazine. With a supportive community, classroom-to-career opportunities and Veterans Affairs coordinators helping over 500 student veterans every year, ECC has positioned itself to provide the best educational, retraining and counseling support for Western New York’s servicemen and women. These attributes – combined with affordable tuition, accessible financial aid, veteran-specific educational assistance, and more than 100 degree and certificate programs – continue to earn the college both local and national acclaim as a top choice for student veterans.

Ken-East band director in running for Grammy Award By: Lauren Kirchmyer It has been said that Kenmore East High School has one of the best music programs around, and the students and faculty of the school point to Phil Aguglia as the reason why. “I was one of those awkward kids who didn’t really fit into a lot of places,” Aguglia said. “I struggled a lot but it was through band that I found a place. It became part of who I was.” He started taking trumpet lessons, an instrument his dad played, in fifth grade at Southside Elementary School in Buffalo. During his sophomore year at Hutchinson Central Technical High School, his band director allowed him to work with and help other students. Seeing his peers succeed because of his help filled him with satisfaction. “No matter what my personal successes were, I felt more accomplished when people I worked with did well. That’s why I wanted to be a teacher,” Aguglia said. He went on to receive a bachelor’s in music education from Ithaca College and a master’s in music with a focus in education from SUNY Fredonia. He taught in Massachusetts, followed by West Valley, before making his back to Western New York to teach middle and high school band for Cleveland Hill Union Free School District in Cheektowaga. “He took a program that was in its infancy with very basic skills and turned them into a very respected band and music program in Western New York, all on his own,” said Joseph Greco, who started with Aguglia at Cleveland Hill around 1997 and currently is the assis-

tant principal at Kenmore East High School. “He put in hours after school, weekends, working with kids for extremely long hours.” And his ways haven’t changed. In 2002, Aguglia moved to Kenmore East. His workday starts at 7 a.m. and sometimes goes until 10 p.m. He is in charge of wind ensemble, concert band, three jazz bands, two jazz combos, several small chamber groups, individual lessons as well as pep band. He puts in around 70 hours each week. He will even work on weekends and during the summer to make sure his students are getting the best music education. “I run a different kind of program, it’s a little nontraditional,” he said. When students are not in class with Aguglia, they are allowed to go into his classroom and work on material including chords, scales and rhythms. “Great things happen when you allow this flexibility.” “The way he teaches things is indescribable,” said Isabelle Bertino, a senior at Kenmore West High School. “You’re not just learning

something you have to memorize, he makes sure you can understand it, which is what a lot of teachers are not capable of doing.” Last year, the Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation introduced the Grammy Music Educator Award. It only takes one nomination to apply for the award. Aguglia received about 60 nomination emails, but he didn’t pursue. When the competition opened for 2015, Aguglia’s email was flooded with nominations once again and he decided to give it a chance. This year about 30,000 people were nominated for the award. Approximately 7,000 people followed the link in the email to fill out the application. From there, 222 music educators from around the country were selected for the quarterfinals. Aguglia is now one of only 25 people who remain in the competition. Aguglia made sure to include the entire school in his nomination process in return. When he found out he was one of 25 who remained in the competition, he had to

film videos answering questions about why he was deserving of the award. Besides showing video clips and pictures of his students past and present, Aguglia shared in his videos how he brings in guest artists, allows his students to perform throughout Western New York and travel to places like Las Vegas and Disney World, recruits students through unique programs, proposes ideas to the school district to receive new instruments, and is involved with charitable and educational organizations such as Music is Art. He even had busloads of students collect instruments and volunteer in New Orleans, La. after Hurricane Katrina hit. “One thing that is important to me is that my students understand there is a bigger world out there,” Aguglia said. “It’s not about what just happens in this room. I say to them, ‘Leave a footprint bigger than your own so when you graduate there’s something they remember you by,’ and I’m never disappointed.” Should he win the Grammy Award, he would receive a $10,000 honorarium. Kenmore East’s Music Department would receive $6,000 through the Ford Drive 4 UR School program and a $10,000 grant, allowing Aguglia to start an artist in residence program at the school and let the students work with a mentor, a professional from the music industry. “The help we would get from the Grammy Awards wouldn’t just be used towards anything it’s for us, for the students, and Mr. A always puts his students before himself or anything else,” Bertino said. “I truly believe he deserves this award.”

HOME IMPROVEMENT From the Fourth Dimension to planet Earth By Lauren Kirchmeyer ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER

Monday Night Raw will be stopping by Buffalo as it visits First Niagara Center this Monday, Nov. 3. Many superstars from the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) franchise will take their turn in the ring, including bizarre tag-team duo Gold and Stardust. Before joining the WWE, Gold and Stardust were exploring the Milky Way Galaxy, learning about black holes, planets and moons. “These things are worth investigating, they’re worth knowing,” Stardust said. “We know more about our oceans than we do about space. We need to keep digging.” Gold and Stardust made their debut as tag-team partners this past June, with painted faces and

skin-tight black and gold unitards. Though those viewing the match were uncertain as to how the pair would be in the ring, they won their match against Ryback and Curtis Axel. “My first appearance on Raw was quite simply beautiful,” Stardust said. “The ring feels like my home, especially when you have somebody like Goldust, brothers in dust.” They continued making a name for themselves and on Sept. 14, they won the WWE Tag Team Championship, what the pair calls “the cosmic key.” “All this time people have watched Gold and Stardust from a comical standpoint,” Stardust explained. “When it goes from being something you’re laughing at to something you’re scared of, science fiction becomes science fact.” Though they are a dy-

namic pair in the ring, they train separately, with Stardust having quite the interesting workout regimen. “Breaking news, my training regimen is pizza and wrestling,” he shared. “I for some reason have a Sonic the Hedgehog-style high metabolism. I can add to the training regimen that there are some Olympic lifts in there. I have been known to do your basics – squats, bench, deadlifts, clean and jerks – but also pizza.” All his training will help him perform his favorite wrestling move – “Dark Matter” – as well as his eccentric entrance with Goldust. Since joining the WWE, Stardust has learned more about himself, his colleagues and his peers.

“There’s always somebody that wants to work just as hard or harder,” he said. “It keeps you moving, it keeps you going. It’s what makes Gold and Stardust so unique. Every week it’s something different, as it should be.” See what new entertainment Gold and Stardust will bring to the ring this Monday at Raw, starting at 7:30 p.m. “Buffalo, according to Goldy, is a professional wrestling hot bed,” Stardust said. And this will be the first time the pair will be visiting Buffalo in person. “I’ve never visited Buffalo before, but you can see Niagara Falls from outer space,” said Stardust, who plans to visit this Natural Wonder of the World while in town.
