‘Girl Code’ star comes to Buffalo By Lauren Kirchmyer

ENTERTAINMENT REPORTER

Syracuse native Jessimae Peluso grew up making her family and friends laugh. As she grew older she decided she never wanted to work for a boss, so she moved to Boston to work on improvisation and stand up comedy. In 2006, she packed her bags and moved to New York City. “It takes a long time to get funny,” she said, stating it takes a combination of ambition, humility and taking risks to make it in the comedy circuit. “I love connecting to ran-

“Girls have a hard time growing up in this culture,” Peluso said. She loved that being a part of “Girl Code” gave her the opportunity to talk about various insecurities girls face while sharing her own experiences on how she survived them and became the woman she is today. “If I can let girls know beauty standards are ridiculous I think I accomplished something.” Besides being on “Girl Code,” Peluso has had the opportunity to appear on “The Tyra Banks Show,” “Failosophy” and “Chelsea Lately.” She also enjoys writing and has

dom strangers by talking to them. I’m so fortunate to do it and make a living off of it.” Peluso found her best shows happened when she remained as genuine as possible on stage. One day, while performing stand up in New York City, her raw and unpredictable sense of humor attracted the casting directors of MTV’s “Girl Code” and she was invited to audition for the show. “Being approachable and having humility on stage served me well,” she said. The casting directors liked Peluso and asked her to join the show’s cast.

contributed to magazines such as “Cosmopolitan” and “Glamour.” Though she has had many memorable milestones in the short amount of time she has been working professionally, her most memorable moment took place when she was shopping at her favorite store with her mom in Syracuse last Christmas. “A girl came up to me when we were at Marshall’s. She said I was her favorite girl from ‘Girl Code’ and asked if she could have her picture taken with me,” Peluso recalled. “My mom was so excited and was beaming with pride. It was a spe-

cial moment for me. I’m doing all of this for my family. I want to be able to take care of them.” Though she misses her family and the Western New York accent, the selfproclaimed “lazy kid” learned she could achieve anything when she dedicates herself. “Find something you want so bad you would sacrifice everything to do it,” she said. “I’m fortunate to have found that.” She hopes to continue writing for magazines and appearing on television. She is currently working on writing a memoir and is on tour performing stand up.

Peluso will visit Buffalo – for her first time ever – to perform at Helium Comedy Club, located at 30 Mississippi St. in Buffalo. Her shows begin at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Saturday. General admission tickets are $20 and may be purchased at www.heliumcomedy.com/buffalo. A meet and greet will take place after every performance. “I invite all single firemen to come see my show,” Peluso said. “I love upstate people. I’m excited to perform for real, hardworking people and stuff my face with delicious Buffalo wings and upstate food.”

Town passes 2015 budget, slight tax hike By Kimberlee Sabshin NT SUN CORRESPONDENT

Last Thursday, Nov. 6, the Tonawanda Town Board voted unanimously to approve its tentative budget for2015, with a slight tax hike for town residents, after sharing a presentation in which Town Supervisor Anthony Caruana broke down figures, department by department, for the public. Last month, the town board held two budget work sessions, during which its mem-

bers reviewed each of the departments’ tentative budgets with each respective department head. Caruana noted residents have “enjoyed a decrease in their tax bill for the last two years” before the increase, and Caruana said this was necessary to continue the town board’s mission. “The message that I, and the members of the town board, hear from our residents is clear: provide the highest quality of services at the lowest possible cost,” Caruana said.

In 2011, the New York State Legislature approved a property state tax cap of 2 percent, allowing for “certain exclusions and adjustments,” Caruana said. Based upon the current rate of inflation, the property tax cap for 2015 was established at 1.56 percent, before exclusions and adjustments. The tax rate, after the exclusions and adjustments, is actually 3.63 percent. The cost per day in 2015, for the average homeowner, for town government will be $3.27, up 2 cents from last year, but the

same cost per day as it was in 2012, four budget years ago. The 2015 tax levy, or amount needed to be raised by property taxes, stands at approximately $44.95 million, an increase of $1.23 million, or 0.8 percent, from the 2014 tax levy. Since this is below the New York State property tax cap, residents will be able to receive a property tax rebate Governor Andrew Cuomo has made available, in an amount that should reflect the amount of the increase. “As a result, in effect, the average homeowner should not have a tax increase,” Caruana said. The costs have gone up due to increases in costs of health and medical insurance for town employees, retirees and their families, wage increases for town employees, and other miscellaneous benefits including workers’ compensation insurance. The price of hospital and medical insurance has gone up by $910,000, Caruana said, and the town has also had to raise taxes due to the costs of the Parker-Fries Sewer Interceptor Project and other statemandated sewer projects. “These significant improvements are critically necessary to our aging infrastructure, and to the town’s ability to continue to provide these required services,” Caruana said. Caruana said although the budget process begins each January at the start of the fiscal year, the actual process of planning for the budget began in June, when Caruana began to review issues with the budget and discuss plans for making services in the town more cost-effective. He said department heads were “challenged to find additional ways to reduce spending, coordinate and share resources both within town departments and with other municipalities” and “seek new ways to provide services for 2015 and future budget years,” an ongoing process until submission of the budget.

Comedy fans can “expect the unexpected” as funny guy Marlon Wayans takes the stage at Helium Comedy Club next weekend to perform stand up. Though he has performed at colleges throughout the area many times in the past, he is excited to perform his first show for “the locals.” “I really enjoy Buffalo,” he said. “People there are listeners, and I love listeners more than anything. Listening will make you laugh.” Wayans grew up with a funny family in the projects of New York City. As he and his nine brothers and sisters grew up, their work and their names became well known in the entertainment industry. “We always give each other advice and inspire each other with what we’re doing,” he said. He gained popularity in the early ’90s when he appeared in the sketch comedy series “In Living Color,” created by his brothers Keenan and Damon.

Statement from the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda Union Free School District At approximately 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 10, 2014, an incident occurred involving a female student of the Kenmore-Town of Tonawanda UFSD who was offered a ride and pursued by an unknown male. The student reported to police that she was walking east along Highland Avenue near Colvin Boulevard when

the driver of a black vehicle traveling in the opposite direction stopped to offer her a ride. The student did not know the driver, who attempted to approach her, and she was able to leave the area without further incident. The driver was described as a bald white male in his 30s with no facial hair who was wearing jeans the day

of the incident. Anyone with information regarding this individual or the incident should contact school officials or Town of Tonawanda police. All parents and guardians are asked to remind their children to never to accept a ride or any other offer from a stranger and to report any such activity immediately.

“Take a $50 bill, light it with a match and watch it burn!”

I’m serious. Go ahead and do it. What? You refuse? DO it anyway and see how it makes you feel. Painful wasn’t it? (Or were you just too chicken?) Well, guess what? Every day you run your furnace, you might as well take a $50 bill, light it with a match and watch it burn. Here’s why: That’s what your furnace is doing to you now. How do I know this? Simple. I know your furnace probably hasn’t been rejuvenated to factory fresh condition since the day it was installed. And every hour of every day it runs, it gets a little further out of adjustment, wasting slightly more gas for every unit of heat, costing more and more to operate. So, what can you do about this annoying situation? I’m glad you asked. Again, the answer is simple. Have a professional heating technician rejuvenate your furnace. To get the job done right, it will take about one and a half hours and $200 worth of labor and materials. The nice thing about a service like this is it usually

pays for itself several times over during the course of the winter... ...And if you call me for the service, not only will I have one of my top technicians do your rejuvenation for only $79, I will also guarantee your furnace won’t break down for the rest of this winter season. If it does, I WILL REFUND 100% OF YOUR MONEY. Why am I doing this for a price that’s below my total cost? Once again, it’s simple. I have just increased my capacity to handle an additional 125 new clients. And rather than lose money for the time it usually takes to attract that many clients, I thought I’d just pass that amount along to you in the form of savings and what I hope is an irresistible offer. There you have it. You can’t lose, no matter what happens. The only danger you have is waiting too long and missing out on the opportunity. Our Super-Tune Up can save you up to 33% off your utility bills! Call now for your appointment... 694-8524.

High school bands come together for ‘Red for Jed’

By Kimberlee Sabshin NT SUN CORRESPONDENT

Last Saturday, Nov. 8, the City of Tonawanda and Kenmore-Tonawanda communities came together to support a young member of the city community with a serious illness. That evening, Tonawanda High School hosted a “Night of Big Band” jazz event to support “Red for Jed,” a campaign of solidarity for Jed Woomer, a 2014 Tonawanda High School

graduate who is fighting cancer. The event, held in the high school gymnasium, featured performances from both the Tonawanda and Kenmore East High School jazz bands, as well as coffee, dancing and desserts for all attendees. According to Tonawanda High School Band Director Christopher Rudroff, a combined total of about 75 students participated. 200 people, counting the students, attended. Kenmore East Band

Director Phil Aguglia said in addition to student band members, about 20 volunteers from Kenmore East’s National Honor Society and International Baccalaureate program also participated. Aguglia said the idea to have the bands work together came to the two band directors at an earlier time, but “Red for Jed” allowed them to also do hold the event for a cause. “Tonawanda and Kenmore East have been collaborating in trips, per-

formances and activities for the past few years,” Rudroff said Monday. “The idea came to us back in May to have a big band dance, and when we heard about Jed, we decided to do it in his honor.” The evening’s selections included songs as diverse as “Fly Me to the Moon,” as made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1964, “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus and “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, among many others. On Monday, both of the band directors expressed their gratitude at being able to help Woomer after he was unexpectedly diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer that most frequently affects children and teenagers, shortly after he graduated from Tonawanda High School. Woomer is now undergoing chemotherapy at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. “It meant a lot to me able to help Jed out in this time of need,” said

Rudroff. “Jed was a student of mine when he played in the band while he was in high school. Also, he attended a collaborative trip to perform in New Orleans with Tonawanda and Kenmore East.” Aguglia has sympathized with Woomer’s fight since he taught his cousins and knows other members of the family. “I know his parents casually through friends. They are terrific people,” Aguglia added. “It’s important that we, as educators, teach our students that illness and tragedy recognized no borders. We are all one community, as human beings.” In addition to this benefit, Woomer has received an outpouring of support from residents, including at the Aug. 19 Common Council meeting, when Mayor Rick Davis and all Common Council members wore red as President Carleton Zeisz declared that day as Red for Jed Day.” This week, Mayor Rick Davis

and the council members voiced their support for the initiative. Davis, whose daughter graduated high school with Woomer, said, “I think that could be my child going through the same thing he is. It’s important to show the Woomer family that they’re not alone in this fight and a lot of people have them in their thoughts and prayers.” He also praised the community for coming together to support one of its own, and cited this as “one of the many reasons why Tonawanda is such a great place to live.” “Any time we can help a young person battling cancer like Jed is, it’s a good thing,” said First Ward Councilman Charles Gilbert. “I really feel that, as a council member, it is important to help in any way we can in these situations. Cancer doesn’t care if you’re young, old, Democrat or Republican. We, as a community, need to stand up to this ugly disease, and I think this is a great way to show that this community can come together and help.” “This community is a close-knit area,” added Third Ward Councilman John “Jay” Hall, who also coaches Tonawanda High School’s Lady Warriors girls’ basketball team. “The citizens all stick together when people are in need. Being a coach at Tonawanda, it is great to see the students and faculty supporting a Tonawanda graduate.”

Canisius downs Joe’s, claims 15th straight MMAA crown By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

It was Trevor Gooch’s turn to be lifted in the air at the end of the season. Gooch had 16 kills and three blocks as Canisius defeated St. Joe’s 3-1 Nov. 5 at St. Joe’s to claim its 15th consecutive Monsignor Martin Athletic Association playoff title. Rebounding from a 2521 loss in the opening set, Canisius stormed back to win the next three by scores of 25-13, 25-17, and 25-18. When the Crusaders notched the final point, their fan base stormed the floor in celebration. They lifted Gooch onto their shoulders as he led them in the “I believe we have

won” victory cheer. “It was pretty unreal,” Gooch said with a smile. “(When I was) a sophomore they lifted up Dave Jepsen, last year they lifted up Tom Sullivan. This year it was me so it was pretty unreal. It was awesome.” During training camp, Marauders co-captain Anthony Berardi stated how their team was on a mission to end Canisius’ winning streak. Led by the play of Berardi and Jacob Donn (13 kills), the Marauders almost did pull off the unthinkable upset as they clearly controlled play in set one. “I think that was the chemistry that we were looking for all year,” said Berardi. “Right there in that one set. But like it’s been happening all season we took our foot off the gas and things started going down hill. We just couldn’t find a way to respond.”

But the Crusaders didn’t waver. As the match unfolded, Canisius showed why it is one of the elite programs in the state. Setter Charles Desmond had the offense humming with his 33 assists as the Crusaders’ passing was on point and the defense, led by Andrew Helwig, was solid. But it was the blocking of Daniel Berry, Andrew Schake and Peter Crofut (four blocks) at the net that stifled the Marauders’ offense as the night progressed. “We talked coming in that we needed to figure out a way to get through the first set, because any time you play Joe’s, the emotions. You heard all the craziness out there,” said Canisius coach Tom Weislo. “To St. Joe’s credit, they managed that very well the first set and we didn’t

manage it as well as we needed to. I told our guys, ‘we’re not playing the way we are capable of playing. As long we’re doing what we’re supposed to do we’ll be OK.’” In the end, the Crusaders just had ‘the want’ more than the Marauders did and it showed on the floor. The Marauders gave an all-out, honest effort. But in the wake of a defeat, a good effort rang hollow for everyone in maroon and white. “I’m not at all disappointed with their effort level,” said St. Joe’s coach Mark Anzalone. “They played hard on every single ball.” Added Berardi: “I’m proud of all the guys on my team. This was four years in the making. We’re all best friends. I’m just glad that I had the opportunity to come to St. Joe’s and have fun with my friends. That’s what it’s all about.”

Ken West grad Licata lands NT girls head coaching gig By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

For Michael Licata Jr., basketball and family are one in the same. Licata, the son of legendary girls basketball coach Mike Licata, who spent 28 seasons coaching the Kenmore West Lady Blue Devils, has taken that next step on his journey of coaching by taking over as the new head coach of the North Tonawanda Lady Jacks varsity basketball team. “I’m very, very excited,”

Licata said. “Over the summer I had a couple of assistant job offers and people reaching out to bring me on as an assistant. But I didn’t really have any solid head coaching job offers. The fact that it’s in the league I’ve been in during my whole career, from modified through assistant varsity, jv. It’s the only league I’ve ever really been around. To stay in the league is awesome. Just great timing and a great opportunity and I’m excited about it.” A member of the Kenmore West Class of 2007, Licata played two-and-a-half years

of varsity for the Blue Devils before going onto play his freshman season at Medaille. Getting his first real taste of coaching with the Ben Franklin Middle School modified boys team during the 2011-12 season, Licata and best friend Cory Martin would move on to coach the Lady Blue Devils JV team for the next two seasons. A typical coach’s kid, Licata, possesses an incredibly strong knowledge and love for the game. Every bit as important is that fact Licata knows how to reach kids as individuals and teach them.

Just as vital, spending his entire life watching his dad and his longtime coaching partner Jeff Martin coach Ken West has given Licata strong insight on the subtle differences between coaching girls and boys teams. “This is somebody’s quote, it’s not mine. I heard it from somebody,” said Licata. “‘The biggest difference to me is in a men’s team you have to play good in order to feel good. For women’s basketball, usually you have to feel good to play good.’ That quote stuck with me.” Having been connected to

the Niagara Frontier League for all of his basketball life, Licata knows full well the rivalry that West and NT have had. Licata is eager to teach his NT girls basketball team the way he knows the game, but at the same time, Licata knows that he must be mindful to not force things on his new team or make them feel he is trying to turn his Lady Jacks into a replica of the rival Blue Devils. But he definitely plans stress to his new team the importance of key Lady Blue Devil traits like in-your-face defense

and the mindset of always being ready to out work the other team as part of his plan to make North Tonawanda successful. “(West) always seemed ready when it came to game time. So I’m really gonna try to bring that to NT,” said Licata. “We’re gonna try and have that crazy energy and that mentality going into games of ‘I don’t care who we’re playing, we can beat this team.’ We practiced hard enough and we prepared well enough that we have some sort of edge.”

THS boys soccer to lose talented players to graduation By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

There will be a changing of the guard for the Tonawanda boys varsity soccer team. As the Warriors put the 2014 season to bed and eagerly look forward to next year, they will be moving forward without two of the biggest pieces of the puzzle in recent years. Chuckie Richards and Nate Holler, two of the Warriors’five seniors, will be moving on. Both sophomore starters and key parts of the squad that won the Section VI Class B2 title in 2012, the program’s first sec-

tional title in 20 years, Richards andHollerwerethecornerstones of the rebuilding process in 2013 after 11 seniors graduated from the sectional title team. After weathering some tough times last season, the Warriors rebounded with a strong year as they finished in second place in ECIC IV with a 6-3-1 mark, (9-8-1 overall). “I’m very proud of how this team matured,” said coach James Gabor. Richards and Holler were both named to ECIC IV first team and were selected to play in the exceptional seniors game, with Gabor serving as their team’s coach. Though they were on the losing side of a 2-1 final, Holler managed to score his teams lone goal in the game, which showcased the absolute best senior talent from across WNY. Recalling when he first saw

JEFFREY T. BARNES

Noah Meister (13) is one of many Warriors set to return next season after helping the team to a 6-31 ECIC IV record this year.

Holler as a seventh grader, Gabor said that even back then he knew Nate would be something special. “He’s a player that I’m going to miss and our program is going to miss,” said Gabor. Holler, who was named team MVP, closes out his four-year varsity career at Tonawanda with 45 goals and 17 assists. Richards proved why he was the perfect choice for the Warriors Most Reliable Player award when he scored the OT winner in the Warriors’ home playoff win over Springville, which marked the fourth time this season Tonawanda beat its division rival. The first win over Springville came in the third place game of the Dan Durick Memorial Tournament in August. TheWarriors also say goodbye to seniors Jared Simmonds,

Dylan Kowalski and Cody McGregor, who won the Best Teammate award in his first season on varsity. TheWarriors will return Dylan Lewis, who won the WithstandingWarrior award for overall grit and toughness on the field, and Josh Bukowski winner of the Attitude, Character and Effort award. They will also return Seth Kowski, Aaron Holler, Zach Krzemski, Jordan Kowalewski, Nick Carson, Ryan Gardner, Noah Meister, Bailey Vitko, Nick Bitter and late-season call up Cam Brunetta, who was named the the MVP for the junior varsity team. JV Offensive MVPTrey Lilly, Defensive MVP Charlie Moore and Best Teammate Adam Haentges are front runners to earn spots on varsity next season.

Lady Warriors’ seniors set bar high for youth Stallions By Dave Ricci

SPORTS REPORTER

The seniors have set the standard. Now, it’s time for the underclassmen to take what they have learned and march forward. Though the Tonawanda Lady Warriors soccer season ended sooner than any of the players wanted it to, they know that as a whole, 2014 was a memorable season. Following a 2013 squad that went to the Section VI Class B finals, this year’s squad came in with the bar

set higher then ever before and they responded well. Despite losing core seniors like Alanna Herne, Kalyn Compeau, Megan Tuskes and longtime head coach Julie Johnson, the Warriors, under new head coach and former Lady Warrior Angela Nicholas, had a season to be proud of. “I think they can walk away feeling a lot of success,” said Nicholas. “I think, more than anything, we created a standard for the program.” The Warriors opened the year by winning the championship of the Dan Durick Memorial Tournament. They held the No. 1 spot in the WNY small school coaches poll for the better part of the season and were in the hunt for the ECIC IV title until

the final day of the regular season, before injuries took their toll. The Lady Warriors will say goodbye to seven seniors: tri-captains Melissa Holler, Chezney Belcher and Alexis Lilly, as well as Shelby Stone, Jocelyn Lorenz, Jesalyn Cala and Heather Farnham. Nicholas said her seniors set a tone that the other girls will hold themselves to going forward. Finishing 12-5-0 overall, the Warriors ended the season ranked as the No. 3 team in Class B. They scored 64 goals, 23 of which came from Offensive MVP Hope Balling, while yielding just 14. Belcher was given the Best Teammate award, Lilly earned Ultimate Warrior for perfect attendance in games

and practices. “I don’t regret anything this year. It was so much fun,” said Lilly. “Playing with everyone my senior year. I know I’ll look back and smile.” Holler, whose season came to a close when she tore her ACL in September, earned the Attitude, Character and Effort award for her positive influence. “She tore her ACL,” said Nicholas. “And she was at practice the very next day.” Amy Farnham, who received 18 stitches in the same game Holler was injured, was the recipient of the Withstanding Warrior award in recognition of toughness. The Lady Warriors will return a strong core of talented players that includes Balling

and fellow freshman Grace Stranahan. Farnham, Pearl Bacon, Defensive MVP Sydney Kowsky, Gabby Krajewski, and goalie Haley Schoelerman also return. Schoelerman, in her first season of varsity, had 10 shutouts and a save percentage of 84.7. Brianna Baker, Dahnea Harrison, Shana Johnson, Michaela Walsh, Maddi Robinson and Jenna Hassett (Ultimate Warrior) will also return. “Next year, a word of advice for those girls is work hard,” said Lilly. “Don’t ever stop. You don’t know when your season is going to end. For example, look at Melissa. You don’t know when your season is going to end.”

defeat Regals

On Nov. 8, the Mite Major Clarence Stallions defeated the Regals AA, 5-1. The Stallions’ defense of Maximus Henning, Drew Idzik, Owen McIntyre and Tucker Schoen was central to the victory, allowing very few shots on net. Offensively, Luke Marchant had two goals, including one on which he dove and deftly swatted the puck between the goaltender’s legs. Miles Santa Maria had two goals and an assist. Nic Zivis also scored after taking a pass from Liam Graham, who fed one through the Regals’defense to set up a goal by linemate Nic Zivis. Idzik had an assist as well.

Assessor reminds residents to renew Enhanced STAR, disability exemptions

By Kimberlee Sabshin NT SUN CORRESPONDENT

Last Tuesday, Nov. 4, the office of City and Town of Tonawanda Assessor David Marrano issued a press release reminding qualifying residents to apply for Enhanced STAR, Enhanced STAR/Aged, veterans or disability property tax exemptions before March 2. At last Thursday’s town budget meeting, Marrano also clarified questions about the applicable STAR exemptions. According to Marrano, eligible taxpayers in both municipalities should have received letters in October advising them to apply or reapply for these school tax exemptions. The letters pertained to both the Enhanced STAR and Aged exemptions. Those residents who are eligible for the disability tax exemption will receive their eligibility reminder in December, Marrano said. Any veterans who have already applied for the veterans’ tax exemption are not required to reapply. “Exemptions have to be renewed – some exemptions, every year: the Enhanced STAR, Aged, disability,” Marrano said Thursday. “Every year, folks who have them have to renew them.” Residents are not required to apply for the tax exemption if they have only the Basic STAR ex-

emption, or are over 65 with the Enhanced STAR exemption and use the New York State Income Verification Program. According to Marrano, some residents are on the IVP program, so some seniors who still file a state return do not need to apply for the exemption, but others do. “We send out renewals to them, but we do this kind of a reminder to make sure people are aware of them. Maybe the renewal got lost in the mail, and so they’re checking with us. Sometimes Mom or Dad may be forgetful, so if it’s your parent, check on them,” Marrano added. “We want to make people who are turning 65 realize, now, they may have an opportunity to get engaged into the Enhanced STAR from Basic STAR. If their income is at a certain level, they may even get the Aged exemption.” Any City or Town of Tonawanda residents who will turn 65 later this year or in 2015 may be allowed to upgrade from Basic STAR to the Enhanced STAR or Aged exemptions, depending on their individual circumstances. Those who fit into these categories should contact the assessor’s office. Residents who recently purchased homes, but are under age 65, should contact the assessor’s office to register for the Basic STAR exemption, which should

also be done by March 2. Although the deadline is usually March 1, that date is a Sunday next year, so it will be that Monday instead. “Every year, I like to put it out there to the public, just as an extra way. We have information on our website that reflects the same thing, so it’s really a customer service facet that my department wants to bring to the city and town residents,” Marrano said at last week’s meeting. In order to make sure people are aware of what the Enhanced STAR and other exemptions are, Marrano said there will be an informational meeting for City of Tonawanda residents in January, and there will be an informational meeting for town residents as well. City of Tonawanda residents should visit the assessor’s office in City Hall, while Town of Tonawanda residents may via the assessor’s office located in the town and Village of Kenmore municipal building. City of Tonawanda residents may call 695-8639 for more information. City Hall office hours are from 8:30 a.m. until 4: 30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Town of Tonawanda residents should call 877-8811. The office in the town municipal building is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
