Students in Amy Myers’ Family and Consumer Science (FACS) class at Edward Town Middle School are having a great time with the cooking unit. Not only do the students explore food safety they are learning how to make a variety of foods they can make at home. Myers says she hears all the time from her 6th grade students that this is their favorite class. “Students make a variety of foods from brownies, cakes and cookies all from scratch to French Toast, omelets, tacos, parfaits and other items. We focus on how to make healthier versions of
CPOWNY
some of the recipes such as substituting chicken for beef in the tacos or using whole wheat as opposed to white flour for baking. On the days we cook, the students get to eat the finished product and we talk about if it is a success or failure and investigate what went wrong with the preparation if it is not very tasty.” The class focuses heavily on how to safely prepare the food to minimize food poisoning and kitchen safety. “We talk about how to prevent cross contamination between foods and being aware of
food allergens, also how to clean and sanitize the workspace.” Students have had a safety unit on how to prevent fires in the kitchen and how to use a fire extinguisher. “We also go over the proper way to use and carry a knife to avoid injury,” says Myers. While the students are enjoying cooking and their finished product, Myers is incorporating 21st century college and career readiness skills. “We are working in groups, so they learn teamwork, they read the recipes out loud to improve those skills, they use math
for measuring ingredients and adjusting the recipes, also problem solving and time management.” Myers encourages her students’ families to allow them to help out in the kitchen. “They are doing fantastic with their cooking skills, so I think if the family chef wants a little break from preparing the meal to give them a chance to show off what they have learned here in FACS class. Also they have learned how to properly set the table and wash dishes, so let them help out with that as well.”

Last Wednesday, Jan. 28, residents of the Town and City of Tonawanda, Kenmore, Buffalo and many neighboring communities heard the latest updates from the Clean Air Coalition on efforts to keep abreast of air pollution. The CAC, best known for leading a campaign against Tonawanda Coke several years ago, held a public forum at St. Bartholomew’s Anglican Church in the town. CAC Director Erin Heaney, who introduced representatives of the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute at the Rochester Institute of Technology, or P2I, said the goal of the meeting was to discuss P2I’s local work. Heaney said an Environmental Protection Agency grant will allow P2I to complete research and pollution prevention projects in the Town of Tonawanda. Heaney said after the CAC got its start by campaigning against Tonawanda Coke,
activists wanted to continue working on projects. Beth Meer of the Department of Environmental Conservation, a guest presenter at the meeting, said the local initiative is known as the “E3 initiative,” which stands for “economy, energy and the environment.” The E3 initiative is also in other areas, but the goal in Tonawanda was to “improve the overall air and environmental quality of the town.” When the DEC came to Tonawanda in 2008, they found five chemicals - benzene, formaldehyde, 1,3-butadene, acetaldehyde and acrolein - in elevated quantities. Patricia Donahue, Senior Pollution Prevention Engineer of P2I, said the company tried to “support the Tonawanda community in working with the manufacturing facilities that are here, so we can make a difference for all of you who are living in this general area.” P2I is based in Rochester, but also works with the State University of New York at Buffalo and Clarkson University in Potsdam.
“We thought this project would really only take two years. We’ve actually asked for two extensions from the EPA to carry on this work, because we did have a struggle with trying to connect with manufacturers in the Tonawanda area,” Donahue said. “We’re working into our fourth year. We received $135,000 to support four projects with manufacturers.” In 2011, the project was the first time the DEC and EPA have ever targeted pollution prevention assistance to a specific geographic area and specific companies, Meer said, and they screened 59 companies in Tonawanda. They measured the air emissions each of the companies emitted while considering the companies’ overall contributions to Tonawanda’s economy. The goal is also to help some of the smaller and mediumsized companies that may not have the necessary resources. Anahita Williamson, director of the P2I, said when working with companies, P2I’s goal is not to get rid of waste once it has already
Crossword Answer
been produced, but rather to work to reduce the waste that companies create in the first place. They have worked with over 200 companies in the state, and they provided direct assistance to the ones with whom they worked in Tonawanda. “Our entire mission is to try and reduce environmental footprint and reduce costs, and it’s difficult because companies these days are working within a very short payback period,” Williamson added. “We have a vested interest to try to get these companies to move to implementation, and we try to do that by offering solutions that meet the economic payback periods.” Once the assessments have been completed, P2I advises companies to follow through with the implementation, although they cannot force the companies to move forward with the recommended solutions, Donahue said. When the companies do make the changes, the P2I monitors them for three years to make sure that they are continuing on.

On Tuesday, the City of Tonawanda Common Council proposed increasing the restrictions on city residents with multiple dogs, upon the recommendation of Police Chief William Strassburg, and also discussed raising fines drivers who receive parking tickets need to pay. The council also appointed a new city building inspector and assessment board member. Strassburg said he came to the council after the city’s dog warden told the chief the City of Tonawanda is the only local municipality with no hard limit on the number of dogs residents may have in each household.

Robert M. Piatkowski, 53, homeless, was arrested for criminal injection of a narcotic drug, criminal possession of a controlled substance, possession of a hypodermic needle, loitering and trespassing.
“We’ve gotten complaints at a certain address, and he’s gone out and checked on it,” Strassburg commented. “I guess there are a lot of these foster homes for dogs, and with the city not having a limit, they’re really focusing on this area, because we can take in as many dogs as we want.” Other neighboring municipalities have imposed limits of either two or three dogs, he added. The suggestion is for residents who already have more dogs than this to be grandfathered in, but anyone else would be required to abide by the restriction. Strassburg said there are also concerns about households with too many dogs not providing a fenced-in yard, or a
backyard large enough for the dogs to run in, especially in crowded apartment buildings. City Clerk Janice Bodie suggested that if a limit is adopted, the city should also complete a dog census, since one has not been done in about 25 years. “One of the big concerns we have at this one house is that they said they’d fence their yard, and they haven’t. We have no way to make them and their dogs keep getting out. If they corral them before we see it, they don’t get a summons,” Strassburg said. “They can keep saying they are going to get a fence, but there are no teeth to make them get a fence.” During Tuesday’s informal session, the

council also discussed the possibility of raising the cost of parking tickets issued within the City of Tonawanda. Although nothing had been passed as of Tuesday, the council and the police department proposed increasing fees for the parking tickets from $20 to $30, which is still on par with other municipalities. Fines for illegally parking in handicapped spaces without a valid permit would go up from its current $80 to a new total of $105, including surcharges. Strassburg said any increases would be effective only once the council passes a formal resolution approving the increases in the fines. He recommended to the council that they work on something soon, since
the police department needs to order more tickets, which have to be updated with the new figures. Strassburg said the city will need to have tickets printed soon. “I don’t have the exact number now,” the police chief said. “We look like we could go through the end of February. The problem is if we re-order again, the more we order, the cheaper it is. If we do another mini order, we’re paying a lot of money.” In other business, the council approved Erik Lindhurst to replace the retired Kevin Rank as city building inspector, at a salary of $55,000 annually. They also approved Joseph Oliver, Jr., to serve on the city’s Board of Assessment Review, for a term to expire

Sept. 30, 2019. Second Ward Councilwoman Jackie Smilinich said anyone who is interested in filling a second vacant position on the board of assessment should submit his or her resume to Mayor Rick Davis’ office as soon as possible. City Assessor David Marrano and Davis said no real estate experience is necessary. “If we could, get that appointed by the next council meeting, because they will need to attend their class. The county could live with it being done in March, but they would prefer it be done by March 1, because the class would be in late April, that they have to attend,” Marrano added.

Tonawanda Middle to perform ‘Cinderella’ This weekend, Tonawanda Middle School students will bring a classic tale of enchantment, magic and dreams come true to their stage. The TMS production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” will take place 7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 6, and 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 7, at Tonawanda Alumni Auditorium. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. The classic 1957 film version of the “Cinderella” musical featured Julie Andrews in the title role and a range of numbers, including “Prince is Giving a Ball,” “In My Own Little Corner,” “Ten Minutes Ago” and “Stepsisters Lament.” The book and lyrics are by
Oscar Hammerstein II and music by Richard Rodgers, and the adaptation by Tom Briggs. Tickets may be purchased either at http:// www.tonawandacsd.org/ Page/822, or at the door on the day of the shows. Tonawanda Middle art teacher and theater producer Daniel Lynch said on Monday this will be the first middle school production Tonawanda has had in six years. “To continue building our growing program, we decided that adding a middle school show was the next step,” Lynch said. “It will help students to become better prepared for the high school performances. We chose ‘Cinderella’ because it is a classic that families and our students love. We are very excited to bring this
magical musical to the stage of Tonawanda.” Lynch recalled how in the early days of the reboot of Tonawanda Middle’s theater program, the “excitement to have the opportunity to perform in a middle school musical was evident from day one.” Lynch also recalled how students worked to memorize lines, songs, choreography and staging under his lead, as well as that of Kelly Ersing, Vanessa Alaimo and student directors. In addition to the middle school students, Tonawanda High School students will assist with “Cinderella” as well. High school students auditioned for the roles of student directors, and six students were chosen to serve as vocal directors, drama directors, choreographers and set designers. The
younger actors will also get help from some veterans of Tonawanda’s theater program. “High school students also could participate in stage crew,” Lynch commented. “Students that worked on crew for [the fall production of] ‘The Addams Family’ have been paired up with a middle school student. They have been working hard to teach them all they can about stage crew, and direct them in their first performance. They are doing very well.” When asked about the Tonawanda community’s response to “Cinderella” thus far, Lynch said parents and others are happy about the return of Tonawanda Middle’s musicals, calling it a “wonderful opportunity for the students of Tonawanda and a great way to continue growing
our theater program.” He also said some parents have worked behind the scenes as well. “I expect that Cinderella will be a great success. The students and directors have worked very hard, and are very ready for their performance,” Lynch said Monday. “It is our hopes that by continuing with a middle school musical each year, we will be able to produce more challenging, and more professional, high school musicals in the years to come.” The cast includes Emily Kuhn as Cinderella, Ciara Shockley as the Fairy Godmother, Katie Opalinski as the Stepmother, Baylin Tighe and Trinity Oliver as Cinderella’s stepsisters, Joy and Portia, Marcell Hayes as the Prince, Paris Miller as the Herald, Allison
Garippo as the Queen, Jackson Mysliwy as the King, Hollyann Manfre as the Chef, Alyssa King as the Steward and Chelsea Williams, Edward Sampson, Devon Licht and Nick Garrison as the Four White Horses. Abigail Braun is the Coachman, and Haylee Morris the Footsman. The townspeople, palace staff, and ball guests will be Abbi Woolcott, Abigail Braun, Alyssa King, Amber Lonie, Brooke Pieszala, Chelsea Williams, Chloe Roetzer, Devon Licht, Edward Sampson, Haylee Morris, Hollyann Manfre, Kaile Peete, Laura Leski, Madison Foster, Morgan LaDue, Mylixia Mioducki, Nick Garrison and Sarah Maxwell.
Ortt introduces legislation requirements New York State Senator Rob Ortt (R,C,I-North Tonawanda) has introduced legislation to amend the current canal law that’s meant to preserve and rehabilitate canal infrastructure. By law, New York State is required to maintain canal lift bridges, however certain loopholes in the law often result in the deterioration and closure
of the bridges. As the law currently stands, the state can choose whether or not to repair a canal lift bridge as long as there is an alternate transportation route. Many times, rundown lift bridges are restricted to vehicles, including tractor trailers, school buses, and other large trucks exceeding a certain weight limit. Amending the canal law would not only ensure the
TONAWANDA MANOR Adult Care Facility Assisted Living Program
Licensed & Regulated by N.Y.S. Dept. of Health
safety of the public, but require the state to maintain canal lift bridges in a way that would not hinder commerce, transportation of students, or agriculture. Several of these deteriorated and restricted canal lift bridges are in Orleans County and have negatively impacted both residents and businesses. “When farmers and other small businesses
can’t cross a restricted canal bridge, that hurts local commerce,” said Sen. Ortt. “Many farmers, school buses and tractor trailers end up going 25, 30, 40 miles out of the way to get where they need to go. That, along with letting those bridges fall into disrepair and ultimately close, is just unacceptable.” Assemblyman Steve
Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) is introducing the bill in the Assembly. “My district alone contains 56 percent of the lift bridges in the entire state,” Hawley said. “This legislation would mandate that infrastructure improvements be made to deteriorated lift bridges, which will ultimately make more commuter routes available. It is unfair to
residents, businesses and agriculture in my district who must find longer and more costly travel routes because New York State has failed to make necessary infrastructure improvements.” The act to amend the canal law would also call for at least one public hearing before a bridge is closed.

This weekend, teachers, students and parents of the Kenmore-Tonawanda School District will again be sleeping outside in winter for a cause. The 28th annual Jerry Starr Ken-Ton Schools’ Sleepout, named for a retired teacher who has since passed away, will take place 8 p.m., Friday, Feb. 6, in the parking lot of the Hoover Middle School complex on Thorncliff Road. The sleepout, which runs until 6 a.m. the following day, will involve all adult and older teen participants sleeping in refrigerator boxes to raise awareness of homelessness. Before and during the sleepout, monetary, food, clothing and personal care donations will benefit eight charitable organizations to help those who are less
fortunate, and attendees have been generous. Since the sleepout’s inception in 1988, Educators Totally Committed, a group of current and retired KenTon teachers, have raised over $850,000. All of this has gone directly toward helping those who need assistance, particularly after the holiday season, when food banks and other organizations tend to see a sharp decline in the amount of donations they receive. According to Stephen Ash, a retired teacher, event organizer and member of ETC, the cumulative figure includes only monetary donations and not material goods sleepout attendees and members of the community donate. The sleepout is always planned for the first Friday of February, and the turnout is generally strong, with many people donating but not necessarily sleeping

out. “I would say we had maybe 26 or 27 for last year,” Ash said, confirming the number included district parents, students of all ages, faculty members and staff. “We welcome kids to come. If they’re little kids, they can sleep right inside in the cafeteria.” Samuel “Jerry” Starr, for whom the event is named, was its founder and a KenTon teacher for 34 years, having taught English, public speaking and drama classes at Kenmore West High School. Ash described his memories of Starr, and Starr’s impact on the community, as “wonderful.” “[He was] an A-plus, quality guy. Did he have an impact on the KenTon community during his life? You bet he did,” said Ash. “If you were in his English class, drama class, writing class or took part in the stage since he directed school shows and musicals, he was a wonderful man.” During his lifetime, Starr had a “passion for helping out people in need,” Ash said. To this day, ETC has carried on Starr’s legacy, via the KenTon tradition, since his death in 2011. They also hope to carry this even further by raising state and national awareness for the homeless. “We took Jerry’s cue, and took that passion he had and translated into an action of the sleepout,” Ash said. “We’re trying to make it a worldwide project through the United Nations, but we are having [State] Senator Robert Ortt trying to get a state day. If we can get a state day, we are going to [U.S.] Senator
Kirsten Gillibrand to get a national day, and with the UN, trying to get a worldwide day.” The eight recipients of the sleepout donations will be the same as last year, when a total of $6,668.75 was split among the Community Action Information Center, Gospel Expansion Foundation, Inc., Little Portion Friary, South Buffalo Community Table, the Response to Love Center, Compass House, the Ken-Ton Family Support Center and the Ken-Ton Closet. “I think it’s important for not only people in Ken-Ton, but anywhere in the world. You have people in need in every community in the world, and to some extent, you have people in that same community who can help out those people in need,” Ash said. “Taking one of Jerry’s quotes: ‘There are people in need of help; we are people who need to help.’ Why? Because we can, and it’s an obligation to our fellow brothers and sisters. If the tables were reversed, we would want someone helping us.” Those who are interested in dropping off any food, articles of clothing, or personal care items may do so from 7:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. on the night of the sleepout, at Hoover Middle. Checks should be made payable to “KenTon Schools – ETC,” and mailed to “Ken-Ton Schools’ Sleepout, care of Kenmore West High School,” at 33 Highland Pkwy., Buffalo, NY 14223.

By Dave Ricci Celebrating your history is one thing. Having something tangible to look at is something else. The Tonawanda Warriors baseball program will have a celebration of its winning tradition when the team holds an all-champions banner raising on Feb. 10 in the George H. Miller gym. Taking place at approximately 6 p.m. in between the boys JV and varsity basketball games, the banner raising will go hand-inhand with the Wall of Fame ceremony event that night. Encompassing every championship won since 1951, the banner pays trib-
By Dave Ricci
When he first stepped onto the wrestling mat as a seventh grader, Richie Jones was just wondering if he would ever get his first varsity win. Win No. 200 was the farthest thing from his mind. Jones, a St.Joe’s senior, captured the 182-pound
ute to the 19 division, 10 sectional and one Far West Regional title that the Warriors have captured. Hoping for a turnout of as many former players as possible, current varsity coach John Frank, the driving force behind getting the banner made, said all players from every year are welcome and encouraged to attend. “It doesn’t matter what year you played or what role you may have had on the team,” Frank said. “If you played, you’re a part of the history that we are celebrating. So come out and spread the word to others.” Frank has coached the Wa r r i o r s v a r s i t y t e a m through one of the most successful stretches in the history of THS athletics. Under Frank, the Warriors have won division titles in 2004, 2010, 2012 and 2013. The team has also won two sectional titles —
one in 2013 and one in 2010, the latter being the most successful season in THS baseball history as the Warriors went to the
championship at the 29th Ken-Ton Invitational Tournament that was held Jan. 31 at Kenmore West. En route to the title, Jones picked up No. 200 in a career that began while he was a middle school student wrestling for Kenmore East. “ Ye a h , ” J o n e s s a i d . “Nineteen and 18 as a seventh grader, it’s crazy.” Jones, as of press time, has an overall record of 202 wins and 63 losses, going 52-33 during his career as a Bulldog. The other 152 firmly established him as the Marauders’ all-time wins leader. Surpassing Travis
Berube’s mark of 134. Not sure what to say about reaching the milestone of 200 victories, Jones modestly shrugged off any praise and simply said that his goal is to repeat as a Catholic state champion then go on to the Federation tournament and hopefully make his mark as a state champion there, too. “I’ve never really worried about records or anything,” Jones said. “I’m focused on trying to be the best that I can be, working as hard as I can, go back to states and hopefully do better than I did last year (at Federation).”
state tournament for the very first time. Though Tonawanda fell in the semifinals to the eventual state champion, that team’s
accomplishments will live forever. “That team will always be close to my heart,” said Mike Tolsma, who, with Jesse Zellner, formed one of Tonawanda’s best 1-2 punches on the mound. “That team made such a stride for this program and to make it to the state final four is something all of us will always remember. So many players from that lineup were able to move on with their baseball careers (in college). Myself at ECC then Canisius; Brian McCarthy (ECC), Joey Warthling (ECC), Shane Foster (ECC), Jordan McGregor (Medaille), [Zellner] at ECC then Central Methodist and Steve Stich was our table setter for three years in high school. “That team was special and will be tough to match.” Tolsma, Brian McCarthy, Ryan McInnis, Kyle Gallivan, Jared Zellner, David
Battel and Steven Warthling are among the former more recent graduates who plan to be at the ceremony. McCarthy, proud to be part of a long history of success, said he wouldn’t miss a chance to celebrate with his Warrior baseball brothers for the world. “I just have to say I’m extremely proud and humbled to be apart of such a successful program that has the winning tradition that Tonawanda has,” said McCarthy. “And to be able to add to the many championships that have been won is an honor.” Frank is hopeful younger players can not only spread the word through social media but also by word of mouth to older relatives so they can be part of this night, too. Frank said the banner will hang next to the American flag on the wall behind the scorers table.
Never being distracted by his win total is part of the reason why Jones has been able to stay focused and put up such lofty numbers. When the time is right, after his career is over, Jones will allow himself the time to reflect on what he was able to do on the mat. St. Joe’s coach Peter Kennedy said Jones’ success is a testament to his focus, hard work and dedication. “For him, that’s probably going to be something that he’s going to look back on when he’s done wrestling,” Kennedy said. “He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it today, but it’s nice.
He’s been so amazingly consistent and injury-free for six years.” Kennedy added that what makes Jones’ success rate even more impressive is that, unlike most seventh or eighth graders who slowly get acclimated to the varsity lifestyle by starting in the 99-pound class, Jones was thrown into the fire right away. He never wrestled at 99 and by eighth grade he was at 130 pounds. As a whole, the Marauders did well at Ken-Ton as they scored 92.5 team points for an eighth-place finish out of the 18 teams that competed.
Dominic Caruso finished in second place at 120 pounds to eventual Most Outstanding Wrestler Anthony Argentieri of Kenmore West. Derek Penman (second) and Garrett Baugher (third) also placed for St.Joe’s. “This morning we talked about how today is like a dress rehearsal for the postseason,” Kennedy said. “Make sure that we’re refining the things that we’re doing well. See if there’s any weaknesses that we need to correct over the next week and a half. Get out of here healthy and get ready for St. Francis on (Feb. 3).”

Tonawanda to induct Class of 2015 Wall of Fame members
By Dave Ricci For coach David McKay, it was always about the studentathletes. That, beyond all the wins and titles, is why McKay is getting his place among the Warrior greats as part of the Tonawanda Wall of Fame Class of 2015 that will be inducted on Feb. 10. McKay, who coached THS boys varsity soccer for over 32 years, will be joined by Jill Koch-Everett, Jacob Kunselman and Ed Bowers as the newest members of the Tonawanda Athletic Wall of Fame that will be officially welcomed during a ceremony inside the George H. Miller gym between the boys JV and varsity basketball games at approximately 6 p.m. Joining greats like Clinton H. Small and Robert “Hap” Holoway on the wall is a dream
come true for McKay. “I knew Clint and I know Hap,” said McKay. “I’m honored. I coached for 32 years. Basically everything I’ve done is through Tonawanda. We won five sectionals in four different decades. So it wasn’t a team that was just good for just a short period of time. The kids is what it’s always been about for me. I taught at elementary school. I coached high school. I’m only as good as the kids I have. Simply as that.” McKay led the Warriors to sectional titles in 1973, ‘79, ‘80, ‘82 and a fifth title in 1992, a year in which he also brought home Section VI Coach of the Year honors. For McKay, the most important part was giving kids the thrill of being on a team and enjoying the experience as a varsity athlete. “I never cut a kid,” McKay said. McKay said that if he would talk openly and honestly to kids who were on the fringe and what their place would be, McKay would be straight forward and say, ‘I can’t promise you a certain amount of playing time, but you will be part of the
team experience.’ “I never had one kid say, ‘no,’” McKay said. Jacob Kunselman (Class of 1999), who McKay called the best soccer player THS ever had, will be joining McKay on the wall. A five-year varsity player, Kunselman is still the program’s all time leader with 113 goals. He scored six goals in a game three different times. His senior year saw Kunselman collect first teamAll-State,AllWNYandAll-ECIC III honors. Jill Koch-Everett (Class of 2001) starred for the Lady Warriors in the pool and on the softball diamond. A sixyear letter winner in swim, Koch-Everett was a two-time sectional qualifier in the backstroke and was part of the THS team medley record-holding relay team. But it was on the softball diamonds that Koch-Everett really shined. The Lady Warriors’ all-time leader in wins (60), ERA (0.98.25), games played (136), innings pitched (513) and strikeouts (640), Koch-Everett also threw two perfect games. Koch-Everett was nominated by her sister and
JEFFREY T. BARNES
former catcher, Jenna Koch. “My sister was the one who nominated me so I knew she was kind of taking the process on,” Jill said. “When she told me I was selected I was a little overwhelmed because it’s a team sport. So I didn’t really think that my play had as much of a significance as some of the other players on our teams over the years. But
I was definitely honored that I was acknowledged for my achievements.” Koch-Everett was also a two-time All-WNY and ECIC III first teamer and ECIC III Pitcher of the Year. She was also MVP of the 2001 Exceptional Seniors Game before playing at Niagara University. Ed Bowers, Class of 1955, lettered in football, swim

Author and songwriter Norma Gentner captivated the elementary students at St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore. Youngsters had the unique opportunity at an assembly to learn about the songwriting process, from the initial inspiration to writing lyrics and composing melodies. Gentner then provided grade-level workshops that engaged students in the science behind her songs. The enthusiastic presenter captured students’ attention by integrating music throughout and inviting
them to carefully analyze the information being presented. First grader Robert Doucette was thrilled when chosen from the audience to identify an animal hidden in a grab-bag based upon touching and analyzing its properties. Author visits are important to St. John’s programming. Principal Cynthia Jacobs explains, “Each year, we invite an author to highlight the importance of written communication. Norma Gentner was a natural choice because her message parallels our STEM/STREAM
initiative focusing not only on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, but also Religion and the Arts. She explained to students that as a career teacher, the lack of factual based science songs to enhance learning led her to writing her own songs. Mrs. Gentner cites inspiration from God as that “a-ha moment” when ideas pop to mind. Showcasing this purposeful enthusiasm for music, the sciences, and a relationship with God is exactly what the STEM/ STREAM initiative is all about.”
Attention Western New York Homeowners: 56 of you are about to make an important financial decision...
“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $2,300 Furnaces for $941 with Off-Season Central Air...” (This is the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)
Dear Friend, I’m about to make you a deal that’s hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older” (and probably less than optimally efficient) furnace. I’ll replace your old furnace AND your air conditioner as a “package deal” for at least $2,300 less than you would pay any other time of the year.
Sound too good to be true? It’s not, and here’s why. I’m making you what may sound like an unbelievable offer because it actually makes good sense for my business. And you come out a winner as well! You see, I know from experience that February, March and April are usually my slowest months when I actually end up losing money.... then I have to spend the next 9 months trying to make up for it. Right now, I have no reason to believe 2015 will be any different. That’s why I’ve decided to give up trying to make a profit during these months and minimize my losses... so I can come out ahead the rest of the year. So here’s how I can make the incredible offer at the top of this letter... Every year, the biggie air conditioning manufacturers guesstimate how many air conditioners to produce. Since there’s no way of knowing what the weather will be like and other factors that affect sales, these guys always have leftover inventory they have to hold onto until the next cooling season. I saw a great business opportunity in this and went to one of these biggie companies (they won’t allow me to use their name in this letter) and contracted for the purchase of 56 of these premium air conditioners that were going to just be sitting around. Plus, I bought 56 furnaces - all in the 4 most popular sizes used in Western New York homes. Because of the number I bought and the time of year I purchased them, I got an unbelievable deal... rock-bottom prices. Don’t get me wrong – these are brand new, top quality 2014 models. Not “seconds.” Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These are premium air conditioners and furnaces fresh from a name brand factory with a full factory warranty.. How to get your name brand furnace for virtually nothing. By putting together this furnace-plus-air-conditioner package (I call it the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century”), going through some heavy negotiations with the manufacturer... then committing to buying 56 systems
outright, I got BOTH the furnace AND the air conditioner at a price that would have made Sam Walton proud. This means that when you buy one of these 56 new, premium-quality air conditioners, I will “give” you the furnace and ask you to pay only the $941 in labor it costs to install your furnace. Pick up your phone right now...
Simply call me at 694-8524 at any time so I can come out and measure your home (to see if I’ve got the proper size unit). Remember... I’ve got only 56 matched systems in 4 sizes so you’ll want to let me know VERY SOON that you’re interested. When these 56 systems are gone, they’re gone and this offer is null and void. Call me right now at 694-8524 so we can get the ball rolling! As part of the deal, I’ll show you how much the new air conditioner costs... how much the furnace WOULD have cost... and your savings when you buy your new air conditioner and furnace as part of this special offer. The price that I show you will include all installation, materials and labor. There’s no fine print, nothing left out. Earlier I said that making you this amazing offer is also good business for me...
The way I look at it, by letting YOU win big now, I’ll win at the end of the year. And I won’t have to “make up” for lost sales during February, March and April. I figure if I make you an absolutely irresistible offer, if your furnace or air conditioner is pushing 8 years or more... and if I barely mark up the price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 major objectives that will allow me to reduce my losses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to... Pay my overhead (rent, utilities, insurance and taxes) during the slow period. Keep my service and installation technicians busy enough to pay them to work instead of sit at home. As you can see, when you take me up on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER! And by the way, there’s no obligation when you have me come out to measure your house and explain the installation...
If you decide you don’t want to take advantage of this incredible deal (although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to save this kind of money), it’s no problem. You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, just for taking time to read this letter and having me out to survey your house... I’ll give you a Very Special Free Gift ($50 value). Why? Even if we don’t Paid Advertisement
do business together now, I want you to remember us in the future.
Richard Reimer
Wizard of Comfort If you’re thinking a new furnace (& air conditioner) isn’t in your budget – don’t worry! You don’t have to pay me right now...
Because I’ve tried to think of every reason possible why you WOULDN’T take me up on this spectacular offer, I’ve even made arrangements for a super bank rate financing plan. And I’m not “marking up” the interest rate like so many other companies do. While I can’t promise you this, it’s possible that with this financing plan, your monthly investments in a new system could be more than paid for by the savings you see on your monthly utility bills. My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee Talking about lower utility bills... I’m sure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in your heating and cooling bills (in reality, it may be more like 35%+), if you don’t, I’ll pay you twice the difference for 2 years. Not only are you getting a new first-quality furnace virtually free, plus a first-quality air conditioner at a great price, I guarantee you’ll lower your heating and cooling bills by at least 25%... or I’ll pay you double your savings for 2 years. (This alone should convince you that these systems are some of the very best quality and most efficient available.) But you’ve got to act fast... call me at 694-8524 right now! This offer ends April 30, no matter what... Don’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have only 14 of each of the 4 sizes. When all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces in a certain size are “given away”, the “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over. And if I still have any of the 56 systems left on April 30th, this offer still ends. The reason is that my business always picks up about April 1st. Since these furnaces cost me so little, if I’ve got any left I’ll sell them next winter at last year’s prices and still come out ahead. So call me right now at 694-8524.
