Gingerbread tradition celebrated at St. John’s Recently, was “National Gingerbread Day.” And what could be more delicious way to celebrate this day and the upcoming holidays? The kindergarten classes of St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore found the perfect way by making their own gingerbread homes, in the longstanding German tradition. Although gingerbread has been around formore than 1,000 years, it wasn’t
until the Victorian Era when German Europeans began elaborately decorating gingerbread structures for fall festivals and Christmas. Over the years, the custom was eventually brought to the United States where its popularity soared. Today, decorating gingerbread houses is a favorite Christmas custom for many families. These kindergarteners had fun decorating their mini-gingerbread houses. Using icing, their little fingers worked patiently
to glue gumdrops, M&M’s, and other sweet treats to their little homes. Parents, grandparents, and family members helped their endeavors. And, there may have been a candy or two that slipped into some mouths, too! What a fun way to learn about the history of this custom and share in a timeless tradition.

Caruana has high expectations for 2015 By Kimberlee Sabshin NT SUN CORRESPONDENT
As 2014 comes to a close and communities prepare to welcome in the New Year and new budgets, Town of Tonawanda Supervisor Anthony Caruana spoke at last
week’s regular Town Board meeting regarding his hopes for the new year and progress the town has made toward its official motto of being a “great place to live, work and play.” On Dec. 22, Caruana cited increasing economic development in the Town of Tonawa-
nda as one of his main goals for the coming year, and he said the progress of the North Youngmann Commerce Center is one indicator of this development. Currently, there are two tenants, Unifrax and First Source, slated to occupy two parcels of land in the commerce park. Unifrax
manufactures high-temperature insulation products for industrial use, while First Source, formerly Wythe Will Tzetzo, LLC, is a candy distributor. “We’re really moving along with economic development in the North Youngmann Commerce Center. We

have those two big projects going on there with Unifrax and First Source coming in, so we’re very excited about that,” Caruana said. Caruana said business development will also be including another new business moving in on River Road as well. In November, the Town Board approved its tentative budget for the 2015 fiscal year, with a slight tax hike after town residents enjoyed a decrease in their tax bills for the previous two years. The cost per day in 2015, for the average homeowner, will be $3.27, which is an increase in two cents per day from last year. However, since the town tax levy is below the New York State property tax cap, residents will be eligible to receive a state property tax rebate in the amount of the tax increase. In 2015, Caruana said the town will also work on the fourth and final phase of the Parker-Fries interceptor project, which will involve the replacement of 11,725 linear feet of sanitary sewer, as well as installation of a new emergency generator. This phase will require digging up portions of Chelsea, Chalmers, Grandview, Lyndale, Montrose and University Avenues.
The project, which town officials have said will add needed state-mandated upgrades to the sewer system, is set to be finished by October 2016. This year, the town will also begin the Rails to Trails project, and as of Dec. 22, the project was out to bid. This project, which has long been in the works, will replace old, abandoned railroad tracks in the Town and City of Tonawanda and turn them into hiking trails. Construction on the project is scheduled to begin this spring, with a goal of linking the communities together. “We hope to have that construction started in the spring, and hopefully before the end of the fall, we should have that running,” Caruana said. “We’ve got tons of stuff going on in a lot of departments.” According to Town Clerk Marguerite Greco, plans are also in the works to allow residents to pay their water bills online sometime in the next year, although no projected completion date for this has been announced at the moment.

Parker Fries project to be finalized 2015 • from page 2 When asked what the town accomplished in 2014, Caruana recalled how it began with a harsh, cold winter, but “ended up very well for us.” He said although the town was concerned about road salt prices that spiked nearly 40 percent, the mild winter at the end of 2014 meant the
town has not had to use much of it yet. Salt cost $33.28 per ton in 2013, and $49.45 in 2014. Caruana also recalled how, during the November storm that incapacitated much of Western New York, the Ken-Ton area remained relatively unscathed, with only a small amount of snow.
This freed up town officials to assist some of the harder-hit municipalities, which Caruana said showed the town’s willingness to help out others in their time of need. “We ended up sending, I forgot how many pieces of equipment, but we sent motors, trailers and plows. Over 50 of our personnel were out there for part of the time, some there
for quite an extended period,” Caruana said. “I want to thank our volunteer firefighters who also went and helped out there, and our police department, who helped with the closing down of the 290 and the 90 to keep people from going on and heading into Buffalo and beyond. We were very proud of the work that they did.”

Running to remember a fallen hero By Kaitlin Urban
NT SUN CORRESPONDENT
Marine LCpl Christopher Shank proudly completed the Marine Corps Marathon for the first time, while his wife, Kristie cheered him on. “The overall atmosphere was pretty amazing,” said Kristie. “At the end, there were Marines cheering everyone on.” This is what motivated the couple to participate in next year’s marathon together. “Being at the marathon has motivated me to get into running because I had never ran before that,” said Kristie. “It was super motivating.” In addition to the atmosphere, Chris and Kristie
both noticed there were many runners wearing shirts representing a fallen hero. This was when they decided to run next year in honor of their fallen North Tonawanda High School former classmate, LCpl Timothy Serwinowski. “There are close to 30,000 people running it every year,” said Chris. “During the run, there’s a stretch of names of the fallen and that’s where I got the idea to do it for Tim.” Serwinowski paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan in June 2010. The loss affected many residents, including the Shanks. They’re encouraging others to join them on their journey toward the 26.2 mile race. While Chris has been an avid runner for some time, Kristie has
just begun her training and says it’s not too late for others to start too. The marathon will be held on Oct. 25 in Washington D.C. The Shanks are hoping to get a group together to make the trip and participate in honor of Serwinowski. Chris and Kristie have created a Facebook page for their cause and welcome anyone interested to join. Anyone is able to participate in the marathon. Active and reserve military members can register on Feb. 23. Others can sign up on March 13 and names will be randomly selected by March 25. There is also a 10k that participants can sign up for on May 20. For those who don’t enjoy running, the Shanks are still encouraging friends to
come along. “We really want to encourage people who don’t want to run just to go for the weekend,” said Kristie. “We kind of wanted to make it a weekend of remembering Tim.” The Facebook page created for the event is titled “26.2 for Tim”. Kristie and Chris have already been posting training tips and encouraging members of the group. Kristie most recently posted that marathon runners should begin their training six months in advance. Before then, they should be running three to four times per week. For more information on the marathon, please visit www.marinemarathon. com.

Minimum Wage rising in New York State By Joanne DalPorto
NT SUN CORRESPONDENT
New York State’s minimum wage will increase by 75 cents per hour to $8.75 effective Dec. 31. What this increase means to the workers who earn it depends on who you talk to. Griffin Kent, 17, of North Tonawanda has been earning minimum wage for the past six months at his first parttime job. “I was supposed to get a review in January with probably a 25 cent an hour raise. This will wipe that out,” Griffin said. “I’m not hurting by not making more. It’s all just pocket mon-
ey.” Griffin lives at home with his parents and pays no living expenses. Other young adults in the same situation agree. “For me it’s a fair wage because I’m not supporting myself and it didn’t take a long time to learn the skills,” said Danielle, 16, of North Tonawanda. “Besides, if minimum wage goes up, aren’t the prices for everything just going to go up? Last time it was raised, the McDouble went off of the dollar menu at McDonalds,” she recalled. At 26, Joe Murphy of Angola earns $8.80 an hour after working more than two years
at his job. He doesn’t think it’s balanced that others will come in and make what he is after having to work up to it, but won’t hold it against them. “We have a contract, and work according to that,” Joe said. “I don’t have to support myself on my salary. I hitch a ride and eat at home. If I were to move out and even work 40 hours a week with an inexpensive apartment, there is no way I could live and would have little or no actual money to throw around on anything.” The situation is somewhat different for those that rely on minimum wage jobs to support themselves and their
family. Chantel of Buffalo works two minimum wage jobs to support herself and her daughter. One of these jobs was for seasonal Christmas help and will be ending soon. “We are just getting by – literally,” she stated. As for the 75 cent per hour raise, Chantel commented, “Sure it’ll help a little, but when the wage goes up, everything else will just go up.” She doesn’t believe minimum wage is a fair wage, “It should be higher because they know people can’t live off of it.” The federal minimum wage sits at $7.25 since 2009. Twenty-three
states (including New York) have set their minimum wage rates higher than the Federal rate. Only three states (Arizona, Georgia, and Wyoming) are set lower, but by law they must pay the federal rate since it is higher. The rest of the states either don’t set a rate or set theirs to align with the federal rate since they must pay at least that anyway. There was a bill that proposed increasing the federal minimum wage gradually over 30 months from $7.25 to $10.10, but it was defeated in the Senate in late April 2014 and hasn’t gone anywhere since.
Advocates of increasing the minimum wage claim that since low income earners tend to save less and purchase more, it would be a boom to the economy overall. In addition, it could lift low-income households out of the poverty level, and in some cases off of public assistance. Opponents claim the burden on employers would be too great and actually force them to hire fewer employees, or even cut hours or layoff existing employees. While the federal minimum wage debate continues, the minimum wage in New York State will increase again Dec. 31, 2015 to $9 per hour.

Kiedrowski said that the demands of the new position led to his decision to also step down as Chairman of the Niagara County Republican Committee. “Simply put, I do not believe there is enough time in the day to be both Chief of Staff to Senator Ortt and GOP Chairman,” said Kiedrowski. “I’m a husband and a father of two young children who have very active lives as well. So, it’s all about balance and that just doesn’t leave time to run the party.” Kiedrowski said that he will call a meeting of the County GOP Executive Committee just after the New Year’s Holiday to discuss his departure as party chairman.

Together we accomplished some tremendous things,” said Senator – Elect Ortt. “When he decided not to seek the Mayor’s position, I asked him if he would consider becoming my Chief of Staff.

As 2014 came to a close, new things are expected to be in store for the City of Tonawanda. Mayor Rick Davis, who began the year as the city’s new mayor and successor to former Mayor Ronald J. Pilozzi, recently spoke about his hopes for the coming year and looked back on highlights from 2014, as well as what can be done to continue to make his city a better place to live. Davis said of the 2015 budget, which the Common Council voted to adopt at a formal meeting in November, “[We] formulated a fiscally conservative budget that helps preserve our fund balance and lays the foundation for the next three years of my administration, [and] implemented a new recycling program that has increased recycling by three-quarters of a ton a day, which increases revenues and decreases the amount of garbage the city has to pay to dispose of.” Davis said in the new year, he would like to see the city move forward with its proposed Little League Drive development, as well as a local waterfront revitalization plan that has not been updated since 1995. He also hopes to make progress on the City of Tonawanda’s comprehensive plan, which Davis referred to as the “blueprint of the city” and a guide for “where the residents and city leaders envision the city heading towards in the next 15 to 20 years.” “It’s what a lot of communities use to leverage grant money in order to get projects moving forward, so I would really like to get rolling on those, and update those too, because they really go handin-hand. The waterfront revitalization plan is really the blueprint of what the waterfront corridor is going to look like in 15 to 20 years,” Davis said. Davis also plans to have the city continue to look at ways to save money, including via shared service agreements collaborating with other local communities to partner up
and reduce costs. Currently, the City of Tonawanda has a shared service agreement with the Town of Tonawanda for Assessor David Marrano, who serves as the assessor for both of the municipalities. There are also plans to have more bicycle trails, a farmers’ market on weekends and other construction projects. “There’s the reconstruction Kim Mitchell (center), activity leader from Lockport was the winner of the ugly of Niagara Street.

Local sports Hawks claim Ken-Ton Holiday Classic By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER
The Cardinal O’Hara Hawks basketball team has been searching to find itself as of late. They Hawks have been seeking that watershed moment to galvanize them as a unit and tell them they were as good as any team in Western New York. They might have found it. Senior captain Donel Cathcart drained 18 points and earned MVP honors as O’Hara defeated Kenmore West, 5552, in the title game of the Ken-Ton Holiday Classic that was played Dec. 27 at Kenmore East. It marked the fist time the Hawks won the Ken-Ton Classic since 2007. “It was a really big win,” said O’Hara coach Tony Pulvirenti. “We talked before the (tournament), we’ve got to find our identity. We listed the teams we lost to and the teams we beat and we’re kind of caught in between right now. I told them there’s no in between. We’re either with the teams to beat in the upper tier or we’re in the lower tier.” Coming into the tournament with a 2-5 record, the Hawks looked strong in their wins, but, as Pulvirenti stated, they hadn’t found their consistency yet. Opening up the Ken-Ton Classic with a convincing 7258 over Kenmore East showed the Hawks they have it within them to be among the upper tier teams. “We’re not where we thought where we supposed to be,” Charles Debose said
DAN HICKLING
William Turner walks in alone for a layup during the Hawks’ opening-round win over Ken East in the Ken-Ton Classic. after the win over Ken-East. “But after this game, I feel like we’re progressing. We’re getting there. We’re playing more like a team.” Cathcart sank 23 points for the Hawks in the win over Ken East after being down 32-28 at halftime. Charles Debose (15), Rene Velazquez (12) and William Turner (19) were all
in double figures for Cardinal O’Hara as they took charge with a 25-8 third quarter. Pulvirenti said the talent is there. The key is everyone realizing what it takes to compete mentally and physically for a full game. “In the games we won, we competed for 32 minutes,” he said. “I’m looking for us to
compete for 32 minutes. We’re going to face several good opponents, but we’re just looking to compete for 32 minutes no matter what. (Friday against East) was a good sign because we were losing at halftime and a lot in the first half and nobody hung their heads and I think that’s a big step forward, facing a little adversity. I said
before the game this is Ken East’s gym, their tournament. They’re not gonna go away no matter what you think of them or what you’ve read. I liked the fact that we faced adversity and everybody stuck together. ...I compare it to a family struggling. Keeping that togetherness is what’s gonna get you through the bad
times. You start separating, things just get worse.” The Hawks showed that level of compete in the title win over the Blue Devils, who are still trying to find that right blend of five on the floor as well. “After every game we’re looking to move forward,” said Debose.

Local sports Lady Warriors top North Tonawanda in rivalry tilt By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER
Now this is what a rivalry is really supposed to be about. Haley Snyder had 18 points and Haley Slater drained 17 of her own as Tonawanda edge North Tonawanda 42-36 in the opening round of the Tonawanda Lady Warriors Holiday Tournament Dec. 29. The fourth time in a row the Lady Warriors have defeated the Ladyjacks in basketball, the win gave Tonawanda a split in the hardwood series as NT won the boys game earlier this month. The game was tied four different times and had five lead changes as it went down to the wire with both teams battling until the final buzzer. Snyder, who also had seven steals and five rebounds, scored five of her 18 points in the first quarter, which ended 9-9. Missing two starters in sophomore Haley Schoelerman and junior guard Dahnea Harrison, the Warriors needed their seniors to step up and play even bigger. Paige Hill hauled in 12 rebounds while Slater and Snyder scored when needed, especially in the final minute. “The three seniors definitely picked up to the slack,” said Tonawanda coach Jay Hall. “We had a great team game.” Already up 37-36, Slater
JEFFREY T. BARNES
Liz Wildt had nine points for the North Tonawanda girls basketball team in its loss to Tonawanda in the first round of the Lady Warriors Holiday Tournament on Dec. 29. launched a pass from the Tonawanda end all the way up court to an awaiting Snyder, who drove to the hoop for what turned out to be the game-clinching bucket with 47.4 seconds left in regulation. “I was excited. I knew she’d catch and make it,” Haley Slater said with a
smile. “I just stayed back. I just stayed there. I didn’t even go down the court.” While Slater and Snyder were clearly huge in the game, both noted that this was a combined effort as every girl found a way to contribute. Alicia Farrell, who has been struggling to find her scoring touch,
hit back-to-back shots in the third quarter to give Tonawanda a 29-25 lead. Meanwhile, Sydney Taylor and Ciarra Woodin both provided solid minutes. “(Slater) does her best to coach Ciarra, and Ciarra has gotten so much better,” said Snyder. “She tells her what to do and Ciarra
goes out and does it right away. The whole team is doing that.” The absence of Harrison meant THS was without its best outside shooter. But Snyder (two) and Slater (three) filled that void nicely. The Lady Jacks jumped to a quick 8-2 lead and ap-
peared to be in the driver’s seat, but a second-quarter lull in communication got them off their game a bit as Tonawanda held a 3027 lead at halftime. North To n a w a n d a r e b o u n d e d with a much stronger second half and, paced by the play of Lindsay Piotrowksi (10 points), Liz Wildt (nine points) and Megan Weaver (seven), clawed their way back in and were a shot or two away from stealing the ‘W’. “I think in the first half I was not really (happy),” said NT coach Michael Licata. “I thought we were very lazy on both ends. I thought we were settling on offense, one pass in the possession and chucking one up. Defensively, we didn’t do a great job of closing out either. So at the half I kind of challenged them. ‘Whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen, but at least go out there and play.’ And I think they did a little bit better job — and hats off to Tonawanda. They moved the ball and they hit big shots when they had to.” T h e Wa r r i o r s d i d i n fact hit huge shots when needed. Slater hit a threepointer to give Tonawanda a 33-30 lead just seconds after Piotrowksi connected on an outside shot to tie the game at 30-30. Under Licata, the Ladyjacks have adopted a much more intense approach on the court. It’s just a matter of pulling all of the aspects of the game together on a consistent basis. “This year we really wanted to come out and prove our selves,” said Megan Weaver. “Be competitive and show what we have.”

Fourth graders find inspiration from hockey players Fourth-grade students at Edison Elementary School in the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda school district recently found inspiration from members of the Canisius College men’s hockey team. Four Golden Griffins visited the school on Dec. 10 and worked with the students on drills and gave them pointers on developing their hockey skills. Their visit focused on much more than athletics, though, with the players engaging the students as role models on topics such as teamwork and dedication to academics and athletics alike. “Our students were able to connect with the players on a personal level by asking them questions about their playing history, family life and college career choices and goals,” said Edison Elementary physical education teacher Nicole Zugelder. “The Canisius players took the time to explain to the students how much hard work, practice and dedication goes into playing sports and studying in college.” Visiting the school from Canisius College were junior Ralph Cuddemi, freshman Jeff Murray, senior Braeden Rigney and junior Chris Rumble. It was all part of Edison Elementary School’s focus on wellness, which will culminate with the Winter Wellness Sports Day on Jan. 30 and the Wellness Night on March 25. The Canisius College Golden Griffins have finished the first half of the 2014-15 season with a 6-6-5 record and 5-4-4 in Atlantic Hockey. When the team returns from winter recess with their first home game of the new year against rival Holy Cross at the HarborCenter on Jan. 9, Edison Elementary School students will be in the stands cheering them on. The Canisius College hockey program and the Edison Elementary PTA are sponsoring the trip. Students plan to wear blue and gold to support Canisius College and make signs and posters for the four players who visited the school.

WNY military honored at Russell’s Steaks, Chops & More By Matthew Ondesko MANAGING EDITOR
During the holiday season, it is easy sometime to just think about yourself and your family. The hustle and bustle of this time of year normally has something to do with that. So, when someone takes the time do something nice for others, it makes the holidays that much more special. Russell Salvatore didn’t need to go out of his way Sunday night to put on a special dinner at Russell’s Steaks, Chops & More. He wanted to. Salvatore hosted 18 young men and women, and their families, in a show of appreciation for their dedication and service to the United States. All the young men and women that were honored are attending West Point, the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy.
“To me it feels great,” said Salvatore, before the reception started. I feel very, very proud to do this. The entire staff feels very proud. It shows that we have fine young people growing up in the United States.” The event had all the young men and women from Western New York dress up in their dress uniforms. It started off with a reception at 5:30 p.m. before dinner at 7 p.m. During the reception, it gave these young individuals a chance to catch up with friends and family. After the reception, all the Cadets and Midshipmen where introduced one by one before into the dining room. From there a prayer was given, followed by a toast. The generosity given by Salvatore and his staff was not lost on the Cadets from West Point. Williamsville South High School gradu-
ate Maria Manna said she was able to talk to Salvatore during the reception and thanked him for everything he did for them. “We our so appreciative of it [the dinner],” stated Manna. “He [Mr. Salvatore] is so generous to do this. He was enjoying himself, I think. “ Giving back to the community is nothing new for Salvatore. For years he has helped out the Western New York community in different ways. This was just one more thing he wanted to do for those young men and women who chose to attend one of the academies and fight and defend the country from different acts of war. “It feels great,” stated Salvatore. “It always feels great to give back to anyone who served our country. We did everything we could for them. It feels good. They are great looking young men and women.”

Beyond glitter and glitz of the holidays, the junior high students at St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore are discovering the true meaning of Christmas. Travelling to St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy on Buffalo East’s Side, these students experience firsthand what is routinely taught during religion lessons, but so very hard to internalize: compassion for their fellow neighbors. Beyond the familiar words of ‘feeding the hungry,’ ‘clothing the naked,’ and so on, the young men and women of St. John’s are able to witness the difference their efforts are making, after collecting new toys and food items, to offer to the St. Luke’s community. The students spent two days at St. Luke’s loading countless bags with foods and gifts that will be distributed to families in need. They worked in teams and formed an assembly line, lining the church’s pews with packages that will eventually be dispersed. Principal Cynthia Jacobs explains, “For over a decade now, our junior high students have engaged in service work during the school day at St. Luke’s, Journey’s End, local soup kitchens, and so
Pictured left to right are: Joe Nist, Pat Trimper, Makenzie Stellrecht and Henok Kidane. on. I believe being able to help people in this tangible way is as important a lesson as what is taught to them in the classroom. Our students are learning how to put their Christian faith into action and live their faith. It’s wonderful to be able to do this as a Catholic school.”

Mrs. Jacobs indicates that the school’s families have donated hundreds of new toys this year. “Christmas celebrates the love of Jesus coming into the world,” Jacobs continues, “and our students are learning how to spread that love to others. I am very proud of them.”
