Rescued snowy owl treated, released

By Jennifer Lysiak THE SUN EDITOR

Breathtaking is the best word to describe last Saturday morning’s events as Robert Humbert, vice president of the Association for Wild Animal Rehabilitation and Education Inc., (AWARE), successfully released a snowy owl back into the wild.

This majestic creature has sharp yellow eyes and white feathers with varying amounts of black/brown markings on its body and wings. The owl was given a second chance by AWARE as it soared effortlessly into the sky, now uninjured.

AWARE, a non-profit, was founded more than 25 years ago and is a group of dedicated people who rescue and rehabilitate wild animals in New York State. This all volunteer group cares for orphaned, injured, and distressed wildlife such as birds, including owls, hawks, and falcons, mammals, and on occasion reptiles and amphibians. Animals that are considered Rabies Vector Species (RVS) such as raccoons, skunks, and bats are the only animals AWARE does not care for, because they require a special license and caging and there is already a high volume of animals they already care for.

Caring for the snowy owl since Dec. 6, Humbert, who is licensed to handle these types of animals, said the owl was found in a field on Ledge Road in Pembroke by a Lockport resident, who then contacted him to care for the owl. While he is not positive on what happened to the owl he believes the owl may have been hit by a car, causing it to go down in the field. Due

Robert Humbert, a volunteer of AWARE, holds the snowy owl just before the owl will be released back into the wild. to the field being heavily manured, the owl had manure underneath it’s wing.

“It couldn’t fly,” remarked Humbert. “It was probably tired and a little sore. It was wet and just enough manure was on him where he couldn’t sustain flight.”

Humbert added the owl probably would have died if it wasn’t for the resident who found the owl.

Because the owl was previously tagged in January of 2014, Humbert was able to learn where the owl came from, how old he was, and gender. The male owl came from Pavillon, N.Y. and is 2 years old.

To get the owl ready to go back home, Humbert had the difficult task of bathing him with a little Dawn dish

soap to clean the manure off, which isn’t normally something that should be done, but there wasn’t much of a choice in this situation, he explained. The manure could have caused feather damage.

Also Humbert said, it took him a while to get the owl eating.

“But now he’s eating and healthy and he’s ready to go,” said Humbert, before the release.

Being any other animal, Humbert said he might have thought about holding onto to him until the winter is over, but it’s a snowy owl, which comes from the Tundra.

“The faster I get him back to the wild, the better off he’s going to be,” he added.

“It’s not uncommon to see snowy owls around this area.

They are not endangered, but they are protected. They are a creature of habit just like anything else.”

For playing apart in the snowy owl’s survival, Humbert received a certificate stating the owl was banded in Humbert’s and AWARE’s name. So, if at anytime the owl is caught or recorded an individual will know they helped save this owl’s life.

“That’s why I do it,” said Humbert, referring to saving lives. “It gives you a really satisfying feeling. It’s amazing.”

However, with rehabbing any creature there is always a chance it won’t survive and Humbert has experienced several losses. There have also been times where he had no option but to euthanize an

animal.

“I had a goose one time where the top of his head was actually skinned. A car hit him and the only thing you can do for something like that is put it out of its misery,” said Humbert.

“He gets very sad when something dies or he has to euthanize,” added Bonnie, Humbert’s wife.

“I take it personal, but sometimes it’s okay because at least you’re giving it comfort and warmth for it’s last hours,” he said.

This year alone Humbert had successfully rehabbed and released 100 animals back into the wild.

He also rehabs deer, which currently he can only take on two to three deer at a time. In the future, he hopes he has the ability to take care of five to 10 deer, but in order to do so he needs to put up a 8-foot fence on his property and funds are needed.

“Right now, I’m probably looking at about $3,000 to $4,000 worth of fencing,” said Humbert. “I wouldn’t have to worry about them escaping if I had the fence.”

Monetary donations are always accepted and needed, plus items such as blankets, paper towels, old towels, sheets, and old cat food are always needed as well. The money is used for food, veterinary care, medications, medical equipment, etc. It costs a lot of money to take care of these animals and any help is appreciated by this organization.

AWARE also does educational presentations for schools, seniors, churches, clubs, Scouts, and other organizations and clubs. The program includes live animals and donations are ac-

cepted. Currently, Humbert has a red-tailed hawk named Shae Lynn, who is about 4 years old, and a grey horned owl named Shadow, who is 8 years old, that are utilized in the presentations as they are unable to return to the wild. The group also sets up a display at various events in Western New York throughout the year.

“When you’re dealing with strictly donations from the public that’s tough,” said Jeff Perdziak, a volunteer of AWARE. “On top of him [Humbert] driving five to eight hours a day picking up these animals, taking care of them, and then going out on the weekends to raise money, that’s a tough routine. It’s not even a full time job, it’s a lifestyle he lives out here with the animals.”

Perdziak, who is an artist, has been helping the group by drawing the different creatures AWARE helps, such as Shadow. T-shirts and 8x10 prints can be purchased at the various events AWARE attends. Companies can also sponsor an animal and have their logo put on the back of the shirt.

It is important to note that these types of animals are not pets. Humbert is equipped to take care of these animals and handle them, when needed. For more information on what you should do if you find an injured or distressed animal visit www.awarewildlife.com or call Humbert at 796-5771.

Town announces holiday decorating contest winners

By Kimberlee Sabshin NT SUN CORRESPONDENT

At Monday night’s Tonawanda Town Board meeting, Town Supervisor Anthony Caruana and Lynn Diagostino of the town’s Environmental Conservation Committee announced the winners of the town’s annual holiday house decorating contest. Each year, the town holds the KenTon Energy-Efficient Holiday Decorating Contest to encourage residents to go green with their outdoor decorations.

John Ivancie and Carol Busalachi of Parker Boulevard won awards for “Best Traditional Classic

Theme” and “Most EnergyEfficient,” and Mark Zirnheld of Colvin Boulevard created the holiday design that was judged the most creative. While this was the first year Caruana was not able to be a judge due to grand jury duty, the winners received certificates and $40 gift cards for Valu Home Centers.

“If you drive along, it’s on the east side of the street,” Caruana said of Zirnheld’s creation, which included a gingerbread house with a lit-up walkway. “It’s amazing. Every year, he comes up with something totally different that’s absolutely incredible…one year, he had a Santa Claus out there, playing a piano with real

music going. Another time, he had Santa Claus climbing up the chimney on the side of the house.”

Diagostino said when the contest first began in the town, it was open to anyone who wished to decorate a house for the holiday season. However, since the Environmental Conservation Committee organized it, they decided to change the contest’s focus to place more of a focus on energyefficient decorating.

“About eight years ago, we started encouraging people to decorate while being energy-efficient,” Diagostino said. “For the last four years, we’ve been sponsored by the police club, who gives us the do-

nation of the prizes for our winners.” The Town of Tonawanda Police Club is the union that represents the majority of the Town of Tonawanda Police Department.

Also on Monday, the board voted to let Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels and the Ken-Ton Closet, two organizations that serve the community by providing food for seniors and clothing and school supplies for children, to utilize space in the Sheridan Parkside Community Center through the year 2015. The agreement will allow Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels to remain there through Dec. 31, 2019.

Councilman Daniel Crangle said he recently visited both of their sites at the community center and was impressed by what he saw.

“The Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels, the volunteers we have – we have over 240

volunteers that are working with the program. There are 18 runs a day, and 36 volunteers are in that program, along with the other 240 volunteers and the six we have in the kitchen,” Crangle said. “Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels has served over 86,000 meals throughout the town. That’s a lot of lunches and dinners.”

Crangle emphasized the organization is always looking for more volunteers, and Caruana’s wife is among them. Crangle recalled how Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels served his mother meals at her home when she fractured her hip this summer, and the organization also helps other seniors who are in similar situations and may find it difficult to leave their homes.

“The people that come to the doors are fantastic,” Crangle said. Some of the group’s volunteers help

out full-time, some on their days off and some have children who live at home.

Jill O’Malley, a current Ken-Ton School District Board of Education trustee, started the Ken-Ton Closet early last year. Crangle said when he visited, there were more than two rooms full of clothes.

“I could not believe the volunteers that were there that day,” Crangle added.

“They even have the clothes in lockers, separated by sizes for the kids. It’s open to all of the Ken-Ton students, and they want to take care of the residents and families in the communities. There are a lot of clothes – summer clothes, winter clothes – from infants all the way up through teenagers. That thing has taken off tremendously, and it’s a tribute to Jill, her staff and all of the volunteers who help out.”

Kyle Stoddard is not your typical third grade student. Yes, he enjoys soccer, karate, Xbox and snowboarding like many other children his age, but there aren’t many kids who spend their spare time focusing on helping others.

“Kyle started doing community service projects when he was 6,” said Kyle’s mother, Jen. “His uncle was deployed with the Army National Guard overseas and he helped collect snacks to send.”

From then on, Kyle decided he wanted to continue supporting those in need within his community.

“I want to help people who need things they don’t have,” Kyle said.

To date, he has held fund raisers to support disabled veterans, the SPCA, Dog Tags of Niagara and many women’s and children’s shelters. He has also recruited “warriors” who help him in his efforts. Together, they have raised thousands of dollars and supplies for different local groups.

Most recently, he hosted a Christmas basket raffle and toy drive to benefit S.E.R.V. Niagara, a veteran’s group that assists local veterans.

“I wanted to have the event to help raise more money and get toys to help S.E.R.V. Niagara,” said Kyle. “I hope we

got enough toys to help lots of kids have a nice Christmas.”

At this event, Kyle was also recognized as an Everyday Hero by Free Country, a lifestyle apparel brand from New York City.

“It’s really cool to get this award. It’s not just for me. All my warriors help,” said Kyle. “I’m glad we can help people.”

The Everyday Hero campaign was created by the brand to award and recognize people who are selfless, generous, motivational and passionate.

“As his mother, it feels amazing for him to be recognized for his efforts,” said Jen. “He and his warriors have put in so much work to help others.”

Kyle was awarded with a Free Country Everyday Hero plaque, as well as a Free Country jacket.

Kenmore Tonawanda Meals on Wheels receives DuPont Yerkes 2014 Community Fund Grant Contributing to the ongoing efforts to feed one of the Tonawanda community’s largest at risk populations is the focus of a 2014 DuPont Community Fund grant awarded by DuPont Yerkes.

The DuPont manufacturing site located on River Road, in Tonawanda/Buffalo, has announced a grant of $5,000 to Kenmore Tonawanda Meals on Wheels, Inc. (KTMOW) to off-set costs to senior clients by enabling + 2,400 meals; the equivalent of feeding 80 senior clients for two weeks.

In addition, the site is donating Corian® solid surface material to enable an upgrading of KTMOW kitchen counter tops and supports the on-going volunteer efforts of employees including Joe Guerrieri, Corian® Unit Manager, who serves on the Kenmore Tonawanda Meals on Wheels, Inc. Board of Directors.

“As the only provider of home-delivered meals serving the Town of Tonawanda, Ken-Ton Meals on Wheels is providing a tremendously important service to our senior neighbors,” said Warren Hoy, Yerkes Plant Manager.

“We’re especially pleased we can offer a DuPont Community Fund grant at this time of year and look forward to continuing to work with this terrific organization.”

Kenmore Tonawanda Meals on Wheels, Inc. (KTMOW) is an independent, 501-c-3, not for profit organization dedicated to serving persons eligible to receive a home-delivered meal who are homebound and incapacitated due to accident, illness or frailty; lack of support of family, friends, or neighbors; and are unable to prepare meals because of lack of facilities such as a stove, etc.; inability to shop and cook for themselves; inability to safely prepare meals or lack of knowledge and skills.

From Nov. 1, 2013 to Oct.

31, 2014, KTMOW served 507 unduplicated clients and served 53,756 hot meals and 32,542 cold meals for a total of 86,298 meals.

DuPont Yerkes is the North American manufacturing home of Corian® solid surfaces and founding site of Tedlar® polyvinyl fluoride film. The plant is also home to DuPont global Corian® Research and Development.

The site is located on River Road adjacent to the Niagara River in Tonawanda/Buffalo, NY.

The balloon-like body of the airship – the “envelope” – is made of polyester with Yerkes-made Tedlar® film surrounding a semi-rigid internal structure, which differentiates this airship from previous Goodyear blimps.

DuPont Corian® is one of the most versatile materials in the global market- place today. The Yerkes site manufactures both “sheet” and “shape” products including sinks and backsplashes for a wide range of home owner and professional builder applications.

The 2014 DuPont Community Fund has awarded nearly $260,000 in corporate matching funds to 76 projects at 35 different sites in 16 countries.

Tonawanda dance arts hosts holiday food drive

By Sallie Moppert

NT SUN CORRESPONDENT

The students and families at the Tonawanda Dance Arts studio got into the holiday spirit this year by reaching out to help others in the community. The students and their families participated in a holiday food drive, where they brought in food items that were to be donated to families in need in the community. The donations that were collected were given to the Twin Cities Community Outreach Food Pantry. This is the first year that the food drive was held at Tonawanda Dance Arts.

“Our families really enjoyed being able to support people in need throughout North Tonawanda and the community,” stated Melanie Boniszewski, the owner of Tonawanda Dance Arts.

“We’re hoping to make this an annual event so we can help more families around the holiday time again.”

Throughout this holiday season, the families of the dance studio brought in nonperishable food items. To-

gether, the families brought in nearly 170 items. Tonawanda Dance Arts matched these contributions, making the total amount of items to be donated to the community over 300 nonperishable goods.

The families were rewarded for their generosity for the families in need in the community by way of a special promotion that was held by the Tonawanda Dance Arts studio. For each item that was brought in by a family or student, they would receive an equal amount of entries into a drawing. The prize of the drawing was to have the performance fee taken care of for the upcoming recital.

The donated goods arrived at the Twin Cities Community Outreach Food Pantry on Monday, Dec. 22. The goods will then be distributed to various families that are in need this holiday season by the food pantry.

The holiday food drive is not the only event that Tonawanda Dance Arts studio will be doing this winter to help the community. The instructors are planning to host a workshop in January

in order to raise money for charity. The fee for attendance to the event will be collected and then donated to a local charity. The workshop is expected to be held on January 2 at the dance studio.

In addition to the holiday food drive, the Tonawanda Dance Arts studio hosted another food drive to help others back in June. The students also participated in the Dancers Give Back fundraiser that benefitted the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and the Drea’s Dreams fundraiser that gives dance therapy to children with cancer. Drea’s Dreams is a part of the Andrea Rizzo Foundation, named in honor of dancer Andrea Rizzo, who had dreams of becoming a dance therapist until her untimely death that was caused by a drunk driver in 2002.

The studio is located on 368 Hinds Street in Tonawanda.

Four original freedom riders to speak at MLK event

By Sallie Moppert

NT SUN CORRESPONDENT

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Celebration in Niagara Falls will be honored to have some special guest speakers during its annual program and panel discussion to be held in January. The discussion will feature four of the original Freedom Riders as guest speakers during the event, along with Rev. Darius Pridgen, who will serve as the honorary chair for the evening.

“We are pleased to welcome these Civil Rights icons to our community and for our community to be able to hear their stories firsthand.” explained Judie Glaser, the Community Relations Director for the Niagara Falls City School District. “This is such a rare opportunity.”

The Niagara Falls City School District is one of the many organizations that are proud to welcome the Freedom Riders to speak at the Community Celebration in January. The other organizations include: the National Federation for Just Communities of WNY, Inc.; the Niagara Falls Housing Authority; WGRZ-TV 2; the Niagara Falls Police Department; Niagara County Legislator Owen Steed; Families and Children’s Services of Niagara; and Leadership Niagara.

The four of the original Freedom Riders that will be attending the program include Hezekiah Watkins, Jessie James Davis, Fred Anderson and Barbara Bowie.

These four speakers will be part of a panel discussion during the event.

Hezekiah Watkins was a teenage student at Rowan Junior High School in Jackson, Mississippi until he was arrested for his participation in a sit-in at a Greyhound Bus Terminal in Jackson in July of

1961. During his arrest, Watkins suffered through various beatings and physical abuse.

Jessie James Davis was also arrested during his years as a teenager. He moved past the arrest to become a Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee organizer during the 1960’s.

Fred Anderson also worked

as a part of the Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee after his experiences in Hattiesburg and New Orleans, Louisiana. Anderson eventually became an organizer in the Second Congressional District of Mississippi, Lowndes County, Alabama, and of South West Georgia.

This year, residents of North Tonawanda and Tonawanda will again be able to participate in a recent holiday tradition in the Twin Cities, courtesy of a new group of organizers. After what seemed like a shaky future, the Gateway Harbor ball drop is set for New Year’s Eve, with Weekends on Webster, the same group responsible for summer concerts, in charge.

In addition to the ball drop on the North Tonawanda side at Webster and Sweeney Streets at midnight, participating bars and organizations in the yearly pub crawl are Crazy Jake’s, the Broadway Hotel, Dwyer’s Irish Pub and Dockside Bar and Grill on the North Tonawanda side, and the American Legion Post 264, Elks Lodge 860, P.J. Hooligan’s and Mooney’s in the City of Tonawanda.

Mugs and punch cards for the pub crawl may be purchased at any of the participating locations ahead of time for $10, or for $15 on the day of the event. There will also be an adult scavenger hunt involving 16 local businesses. More information will soon be made available on the Weekends on Webster Facebook page.

For younger New Year’s Eve participants, there will be a kids’ fun zone, for children

cert series every year over on Webster Street, so we bring in some money from that,” Doel said. “The pubs themselves pay an extra fee to get into the pub crawl, so that helps offset some of the money.”

Any other leftover money needed to sponsor the festivities will come from the proceeds from Weekends on Webster and Crazy Jake’s itself, Doel said. However, as a local business owner, Doel said it means a great deal to participate in the Twin Cities’ event.

“It means a lot to have this event take place because it gives everybody an opportunity to showcase their facility and any new stuff they have for the year. Every year, especially on the North Tonawanda side at this point, there are more shops and more businesses that have opened on the street, that more people can get a look at and see what’s there for future stops,” Doel said.

In the future, Doel said he hopes to again organize the event if all goes well this year.

“I don’t want to see it die,” he added. “Since I’ve been in business, we’ve never not had a ball drop. In fact, when Crazy Jake’s opened, we helped organize the first ball drop in 2008/2009. We haven’t experienced a New Year’s Eve without the ball drop, and I really don’t want to.”

of all ages, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Salem United Church of Christ on Morgan Street.

This will have a bounce house, balloon animals, games and a craft show. After the ball has dropped, there will be a traditional fireworks show launched off the Renaissance Bridge shortly after midnight.

Greg Doel, the owner of Crazy Jake’s, said he and Larry Denef, a Canal Fest organizer, took over planning the events for New Year’s Eve because 4DNT, or For Downtown North Tonawanda/ Tonawanda, made its decision not to sponsor the event, which it had organized in previous years, again. Last year, 4DNT co-hosted the festivities with the Rotary Club.

“Instead of letting the event die, we decided to take over and help put on the community event,” Doel said. “We’re doing pretty much identical stuff as in previous years.

We’ll have the pub crawl associated with it and a scavenger hunt for local businesses, and also the kids’ fun zone.”

When asked about the biggest challenge of taking over the event planning for the New Year’s Eve festivities, Doel said it has been getting the sponsorship money to help run a better event.

“We’ve kind of taken over responsibility for the financials, basically between the Weekends on Webster, stuff that we do, we host the con-

“The warming hut will be used in the wintertime, whenever Ives Pond is filled and frozen over,” Davis said.

“It will give people a dryer, warmer place to stop and rest from ice skating, or change into the skates or back into their shoes. Right now, there’s a gravel area where people park, adjacent to Ives Pond, for both skating and the soccer games. That will be paved.”

Grants • from page 8 According to Davis, one of the main responsibilities of the Main Street program director will be to appoint a board of directors to market the downtown area, improve the streetscape while “keeping a mindful eye on the historical nature of our downtown,” and work with the business owners on grants and no-interest loans to help them make needed interior and external renovations to their buildings. This board will also work on getting new businesses to fill empty storefronts in the City of Tonawanda. Davis noted other municipalities in Western New York, such as Albion and Lockport, have had success with similar revitalization programs.

“It seems like other municipalities, they have a strong marketing push to try to lure businesses in and also keep the current businesses that they have and assist them in any way possible. The City of Tonawanda has kind

of been behind the times when it comes to that, and it enables us, over the next few years, to assist our business owners,” Davis said.

In these municipalities, the local governments implemented a program after receiving state assistance to do so. Davis said both have seen a significant boom in their “Main Street” areas. Additionally, creating a separate board of directors has the advantage of “taking politics out of the equation,” since in the case of the Lockport revitalization program, all board members were professionals such as bank managers, rather than local politicians, with experience running real businesses.

“I really like that idea, because who better to know about what’s going to lure businesses, and how businesses are going to be successful than by having the business owners and managers of businesses running the board of directors?” Davis said.

In addition to adding parking and creating the warming hut for visiting ice skaters, the Ives Park grant will go toward resealing and painting the tennis courts, installing pickle ball courts and nets, a full-sized basketball court and improvements to the hockey court and baseball field. Upgrades to the baseball field will include reconstruction of the pitcher’s mound and home plate, safety covers over the fence to keep people from getting injured during games and new bleachers for spectators.

The tennis courts will have lines painted on them for people who might want to play pickle ball, a fastgrowing recreational sport in the area. There will be new nets and netting going around the tennis courts to keep balls from bouncing to the outside fence. The outdoor hockey court will be resurfaced, restriped and have new goal nets added, with new netting around the exterior.

Local sports Tonawanda hoops captain learns valuable time management

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

Paige Hill joked about having a huge day planner on her wall to keep track of all of her obligations.

Not a bad a idea when you consider that the Tonawanda High School senior keeps a schedule that would make even the most ambitious of us shake our heads in disbelief.

“It’s so hard,” Hill said with a smile after a recent varsity basketball practice. “I actually bought myself a planner for my wall that I can write all my stuff on. I had to. There was no way I was going to get through the year without it.”

Hill, who is a co-captain in her third season of varsity basketball, is a student-athlete, works a part-time job at Wendy’s, and plays saxophone in the school band.

“I didn’t realize how hard it would be to balance all of these things,” she said. “Time management is important because if something overlaps, it’s terrible.”

Hill also took on the huge task of playing a major role in organizing the Christmas for Kids event that took place at THS on Dec. 20.

“This year I was in charge of toy sorting,” said Hill. “We have to take inventory before we buy the toys and then take it again after (we buy) and organize it all by age groups. We have to organize the hallway into age groups and distribute four toys to each kid and then we have to bag them.”

Balancing all of these activities and commitments takes a special skill, and Hill juggles.

But she did confess that at times, conflicts in obligations have forced her to make some tough decisions. Like on Dec. 11, the basketball team had a road game on the same night the THS band had its Christmas Concert. It was an extremely difficult position to be in, but Hill made her call to play in

the band.

“Something has to give somewhere,” Hill reasoned.

“And band is (for) a grade.

I love basketball, but grades come first.”

While these choices can be difficult, Hill said she is so thankful for the coaches, teammates and people around her and how they understand and support the choices she makes.

“If they didn’t understand it would really make my life a lot harder,” said Hill. “I really appreciate everything everybody does for me and respecting what I do and how much time it takes to balance everything.”

Deciding between what to do and what not to do when facing these scheduling conflicts always comes with a great deal of stress. Hill believes that learning how to make, and live with, the choice of a tough decision is teaching and preparing her for life better than if she didn’t have to juggle so many things. It’s also taught Hill to realize sometimes you can’t do everything that you want and that you can’t beat yourself up if things don’t work

out as planned.

“It makes me feel really good,” Hill said. “Sometimes I get down and I get mad at myself, ‘oh you didn’t do this.’

But you really can’t. If you did, you’re just wasting time.

There’s no reason to be upset.

It’s done and over with. It’s the past. You can’t change it.”

LadyWarriors coach Jay Hall said he has no doubt that whatever path Hill takes in the future, she will be very successful because of the life experiences and time management skills she is honing in school.

“You can even see it on the court,” said Jay Hall. “The tenacity is awesome. She’s all over the place. Her knees are all black and blue. She’ll dive, she hustles, she scraps and you can see she carries that over into everything else she does in life.

She works that hard when she gets a career, she’s going to be an all-around perfect worker and person.”

A key cog of the Lady Warriors squad that made history this past March by helping the program win its first-ever sectional title, Hill entered this

And she’s getting the job done on the court. The unofficial winner of the black and blue award, Hill’s gritty, all-in style of play is a big reason why the Lady Warriors continue to pile up wins.

As Hill was wrapping up the interview, teammates Haley Snyder and Dahnea Harrison patiently stood by waiting for Paige. On top of everything else she does, Hill can always be counted on if a friend needs a ride home.

“It’s ok,” Hill said with a laugh. “They don’t live far.”

Jones, Baugher perfect for Joe’s wrestling early this season

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

The Marauders know there is still plenty of work that needs to be done.

But as the calendar turns into the holiday break, there is a lot for the St. Joe’s wrestling team to be excited about.

As expected, the Marauders have been led by the sparkling start of defending Catholic state champion Richie Jones, who is a perfect 12-0 at 182 pounds.

But it hasn’t been a one-manshow as Garrett Baugher (145 pounds)alsotakesaspotless12-0 record into the holiday break.

Opening up the season by finishing in fourth place out of 20 teams at the Byron-Bergen High School Tournament on Dec. 6, St. Joe’s would go onto score dual meet wins over Gow, 67-9, on Dec.11 and a 61-24 win over West Seneca East at home

on Dec. 16.

The busy month of December also included taking part in the Cheektowaga Duals on Dec. 13.

Finishing in the middle of the pack in this tournament was a good eye-openerfortheMarauders as a team and reminded them of how hard they need to work and how focused they must be in each and every match.

“We opened up with a 27-0 lead on Niagara-Wheatfield,” said Marauders coach Pete Kennedy. “Unfortunately, we let them back into the match and gave up some late pins.

The final score was 39-36. We need to learn how to finish opponents off.”

Kennedy said that as a whole, the team recovered very well from that loss as it went on to score convincing wins over Lackawanna (57-24) and Williamsville South (60-24).

The toughest challenge of the day so far was against the very tough and talented Section V Webster-Schroeder squad.

“Though we lost 42-30, Dominic Caruso (120) and Garrett Baugher defeated returning sectional place winners,” said

Kennedy. “This was an excellent early-season test.”

The Marauders showed resilience in their final match when they erased a 30-9 deficit and came back to defeat EastAurora, 45-33.

Jones, Baugher and Jon Tabor all earned all-tournament honors with 5-0 records.

Caruso has been off to a strong start as well, going 11-2, with one of those two losses being due to injury default.

DerekPenmanislookingsolid at 152 with a 10-3 record, Eesaa Abdur-Rahman (160) is at 6-2

and Jon Tabor has been excellent at 182/95 posting a 10-1 mark.

HeavyweightAbrahamBaker has been dependable with his 9-3 record.

The Marauders last action before break was a hard-fought 43-37 loss to Newfane of the Niagara-Orleans League.

The Panthers, who opened up by winning their second straight Tonawanda Team Tournament championship, were led by Jake Kubala.

St. Joe’s is off until they travel to Spencerport on Dec.29-30 for the Teike-Bernabi Tournament.

Local sports Braddell named Warrior of the Week

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

For Zach Braddell, winning the Warrior of the Week means a couple things. One, he can use the gift certificate to Squire’s Tap Room that comes with the award to take his parents to dinner.

But more important, getting Warrior of the Week is a big step forward for Braddell when it comes to earning the respect of his peers.

An eighth grader, Braddell laid claim to his first-ever Warrior of the Week, award by opening his second season of varsity with a 9-0 record as Tonawanda’s starting 99-pound grappler.

“It is my first time,” Braddell said with a smile. “It’s an honor to be up there (in the practice room) with Cody (McGregor) and Josh (Bukowski) and Jake (Logan). All of our captains.”

Working hard in the off sea-

son to improve, Braddell has shown marked improvement from where he was 12 months ago. His technique and focus are better. And Braddell has learned to channel his energy into better, more effective moves on the mat.

“I feel a little bit more confident because I’ve been working hard in the off season,” said Braddell.

The Tonawanda wrestling room is not for the faint of heart.

You have to work hard everyday to earn the respect of your coaches and teammates and for the privilege to wear that maroon and white singlet.

“He’s come a long way.

He’s fitting in obviously,” said Tonawanda head coach Dave Nedell. “It’s helped that he’s hung out with Cody and Josh over the summer and learned the work ethic from them. That’s something I’ve always said: Tonawanda blue collar working community...he was fortunate enough to learn that and learn it in between his seventh and eighth grade years.”

Already coming to the program with tremendous athletic ability, Braddell tasted success

as a member of the Tonawanda American Little League team that won the 2013 N.Y. District 1 title. Braddell’s desire to be the best he can be has been fueled by the opportunity to not only train with, but also become friends with the McGregor brother’s: Cody, Jordan, Scott and Kyle, who hold the state record for most wins by siblings.

With Cody as a captain, Jordan an assistant coach and Scott volunteering in the training room, Braddell is making the most of his chance to learn from the famed wrestling brothers.

In fact, with his compact, powerful build, Braddell has frequently been asked if he is the fifth McGregor brother.

“Everywhere I go,” Braddell smiled. “Every time I’m wearing my Tonawanda wrestling hoodie.”

Being compared to Tonawanda’s first family of the mat is the ultimate compliment for Braddell.

“It’s an honor, definitely,” said Braddell. “As hard as they work.

I aspire to be as good Cody, Kyle, Scott and Jordan. I see Cody’s work ethic everyday and I just

want to be more and more like him.”

“He’s got a lot of potential,” said Cody McGregor. “He’s been working on it. He’s been getting better at everything. He basically looks up to us and just tries to be the best that he can.”

Braddell took a major step forward when he defeated Lackawanna’s Omar Muflahi on Dec. 17. The victory almost assures that Braddell will be the top ranked 99-pounder in WNY. Losing to Muflahi, who placed third in sectionals last season, in their last two meetings, Braddell displayed a more diverse repertoire of moves with a dominating15-0 win over Omar.

The athletic ability, meshed with desire and the fact that Braddell is now more comfortable and secure in his varsity surroundings definitely has Braddell pointed in the right direction.

“Yeah, definitely,” Braddell modestly stated. “I feel like I’m part of the team and nobody thinks of me as a middle schooler. Every day we all work hard for the same goal: to win the division.”

Sefried’s work ethic earns her playing time for Ken West

By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

Rachel Sefried laughed and said she really doesn’t know how she created all of the unique pregame handshakes she does with her Lady Blue Devil teammates. They just pop into her head.

The origins of the pregame ritual may be shrouded in mystery, but there is no mystery when it comes to Sefried’s increased playing time this year: hard work.

“I think that her work ethic

in practice has been terrific,” said Blue Devils coach Jeff Martin.“She’s improved everyday and she deserves to be out there because of how hard she has been working in practice.”

A sophomore in her second season of varsity with the Kenmore West Lady Blue Devils, Sefried has been the first girl off the bench this season and a big reason why the Blue Devils have some depth and opened with a five-game winning streak, which includes going 2-0 in the NFL. “It’s definitely a lot more (playing time) than I thought,”

Sefried said. “Since last year, it was my first year on varsity, I didn’t get that much playing time. But I didn’t expect to because I was new.”

Martin says Sefried experienced her basketball awakening over the summer. Experiencing success during summer league action and open gyms really helped Sefried gain the additional level of confidence that told her from within that she could play at the varsity level.

“I believe what she’s done in the off season. The tournaments, the summer league. The success that she had there,” said

Martin. “Yeah, it’s given her the confidence to play a much bigger role.”

The time spent over the summer with older teammates like Sam Britton and Katie Proy really helped Sefried up her game.

“Being able to work with Katie and Sam and everyone that has been on varsity, even a lot of these girls that I’ve known since seventh grade when I started playing JV,” said Sefried. “They just helped me and they all motivate me to do better and they’re always so positive.”

While improved play has

certainly helped Sefried’s confidence, that burst of confidence seems rooted in the simplicity of being more comfortable in the varsity setting. Small wonder when you consider that Sefried and fellow sophs Grace Ferguson, Anna Quinlan and Jessica Phillips have all stepped up as key contributors.

Sefried brings that burst of energy when it is needed most.

Getting more consistent touches on the ball, with the same core girls, has also helped Sefried see that growth in her game that she has been working hard to achieve.

But her blossoming goes even deeper than that. Sefried said that she feels the support and togetherness of this team has helped not only her, but all of her teammates reach new heights in their game.

“I really didn’t have that confidence last year,” she said.

“Varsity is so much different than JV and I was really intimidated. This year, since knowing everybody is like, ‘if you make a mistake, it’s no big deal,’ compared to last year. I think they’re a lot more accepting (and supportive) of mistakes.

More encouraging.”
