as Robert Humbert, vice president of the Association for Wild Animal Rehabilitation and Education Inc., (AWARE), successfully released a snowy owl back into the wild.

This majestic creature has sharp yellow eyes and white feathers with varying amounts of black/brown markings on its body and wings. The owl was given a

second chance by AWARE as it soared effortlessly into the sky, now uninjured.

AWARE, a non-profit, was founded more than 25 years ago and is a group of dedicated people who rescue and rehabilitate wild animals in New York State.

This all volunteer group cares for orphaned, injured, and distressed wildlife such as birds, including owls,

It’s a successful release as the snowy owl takes flight. hawks, and falcons, mammals, and on occasion reptiles and amphibians. Animals that are considered Rabies Vector Species (RVS) such as raccoons, skunks, and bats are the only animals AWARE does not care for, because they require a special license and caging and

there is already a high volume of animals they already care for.

Caring for the snowy owl since Dec. 6, Humbert, who is licensed to handle these types of animals, said the owl was found in a field on Ledge Road in Pembroke by a Lockport resident, who

then contacted him to care for the owl. While he is not positive on what happened to the owl he believes the owl may have been hit by a car, causing it to go down in the field.

Lancaster Town Band to host its annual holiday concert

By Amy Robb

LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT

The Lancaster Town Band’s annual Holiday Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 29 at the Lancaster High School Auditorium. Richard Goss will be directing the motley crew of music teachers, radio announcers, and accountants that all share a love of music, and guests can expect to hear holiday classics, along with patriotic tunes.

The concert has been going strong the past 15 years, with the exception of a snow storm here and there.

“We tend to host the con-

cert between New Years and Christmas, that way we have college kids able to come out. [We play] tunes like Sleigh Ride, another piece called The Bells of Christmas,” said Goss.

Although the players come from different backgrounds with diverse careers, Goss insists everyone of them is a high quality player. They have to be, with only 45 minutes of practice prior to the performance. But anyone who has come out for the concert would hardly guess it, with how polished and put together they sound.

The concert will highlight the talents of flutist Lisa Meyerhofer, alumna of Lancaster High School and recent graduate of Ithaca and Northwestern University in Chicago.

“She studied for two years there, in Chicago, a music school. She actually hopes to move back and start a music school…she teaches private lessons for flute,” said Goss.

Meyerhofer will be featured in a Holiday Concerto consisting of three short movements.

Members of the band will also be singing some of the songs, like Laurie

Granata, a music teacher in Alden, who also plays flute in the band. Granata will be the soloist for “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” serenading the audience with the holiday classic we know so well.

Other classics like “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” and some tunes from John Phillip Sousa will be on the list too.

That’s really the point of the concert, not to play any overly complicated operettas or anything like that, but rather some tunes everyone will recognize, making it easier to get into the holiday spirit. There will be fun

tunes meant for the players to enjoy just as much of the audience.

“Everyone gets together and it’s not as structured as the summer concerts we put on. It’s a nice compilation people will enjoy, songs people will recognize easily,” remarked Goss.

The hour-long Holiday Concert is open and free to the public, and those looking for more information on the concert or the Lancaster Town Band are encouraged to call 866-5453.

The concert is held at Lancaster High School, in the auditorium, located at One Forton Drive.

Due to the field being heavily manured, the owl had manure underneath it’s wing.

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

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

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

To get the owl ready to go back home, Humbert had the difficult task of bathing him with a little Dawn dish soap to clean the manure off, which isn’t normally something that should be done, but there wasn’t much of a choice in this situation, he explained. The manure could have caused feather damage.

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

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

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

“The faster I get him back to the wild, the better off he’s going to be,” he added. “It’s not uncommon

For playing apart in the s n o w y o w l ’s s u r v i v a l , Humbert received a certificate stating the owl was banded in Humbert’s and AWARE’s name. So, if at anytime the owl is caught or recorded an individual will know they helped save this owl’s life.

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

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

“I had a goose one time where the top of his head was actually skinned. A car hit him and the only thing you can do for something

like that is put it out of its misery,” said Humbert.

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

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

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

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

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

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

AWARE also does educational presentations for

schools, seniors, churches, clubs, Scouts, and other organizations and clubs.

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

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

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

It is important to note that these types of animals are not pets. Humbert is equipped to take care of these animals and handle them, when needed. For more information on what you should do if you find an injured or distressed animal visit www.awarewildlife. com or call Humbert at 7965771.

Youth bureau Christmas Drive reaches 145 families

By Amy Robb

LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT

Thursday Dec. 18 was a busy day for the Lancaster Youth Bureau, with more than 100 students, administrative staff and community volunteers coming together for the annual Christmas Drive Distribution. Donations were collected throughout the year to make sure families struggling financially would have a good Christmas.

Karen Schanne, social worker and LYB Christmas drive coordinator, confirmed a good turn out this year.

“We’ll be assisting 145 families in Lancaster and Depew. Families will arrive today around 12:30…distribution is all this afternoon.”

Those notified that they can pick up goods based on prior application and after a process for eligibility lined up in the youth bureau until 5 p.m. They received boxes of groceries and wrapped presents for the children and 50 Christmas trees were donated to families as well.

Students from St. Mary’s, Wi l l i a m S t r e e t S c h o o l , Lancaster Middle School, and Lancaster High School helped wrap presents and make sure each child got three presents. Clothing drives at various schools also pooled resources together for the youth bureau, with piles of donated hats, mittens, and coats going out to families as well.

“We probably have close to

Lancaster seniors (from left to right) Preston Hamill, Lauren Wiatrowski, Kelsey Barrett, and Sean Loftus took part in the Christmas Distribution.

80 students here today,” said Schanne, “…they’re working in teams, William Street and St. Mary’s students working with high school students, and they’re selecting gifts and tagging them. We have books and stocking stuffers going into the boxes as well.”

Lancaster High School students Lauren Wiatrowski, Kelsey Barrett, and Sean Loftus were helping with the drive through Leadership in Action, a class offered at the school for those wanting to give back to their community and learn crucial leadership skills in the process.

Each student had a project they were in charge of; Wiatrowski was responsible for the Christmas trees, Barrett organized the Cash for Claus event, where teachers grew out their beards for charity,

and Loftus hosted the Cookie Marathon, baking all kinds of delicious goodies for families to bring home.

Barrett’s Cash for Claus raised roughly $2,000 when all was said and done. Preston Hamill, president of the National Honor Society at Lancaster was also there, heading the can drive.

“They donate the money and we go and get the cans, probably a couple thousand…there’s a lot,” said Hamill.

For Schanne, it’s all about the children, making a memorable holiday season for those that might not have experienced it otherwise. It’s also a good way for those in the community to come together during an event benefitting so many.

“It’s a wonderful collabo-

A reported 8,000 soldiers commit suicide each year.

That number is incredibly troubling and experts in the field believe the merits of this bill can properly address failures in the system that lead to a high rate of veterans taking their own lives,” said Chairman John Mills.

There is a great need for improved mental health care. An estimated 600,000 soldiers suffer from traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder and depression.

The Act is named after Clay Hunt, a Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was wounded during his service and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He became active in helping other veterans, including as a member of Team Rubicon, a non-profit group organization that puts skilled veterans together with first responders to aid in nation-

Submission guidelines

Legislature supports federal plan to help veterans receive proper psychiatric care The Erie County Legislature has approved a resolution urging the United States Senate to take immediate action to approve the “Clay Hunt SAV Act,” which would provide servicemen and women better mental health care.

The bill would specifically emphasize the need for better evaluation and treatment of psychiatric conditions through the VA and as a result would reduce the suffering of thousands of service members. The Clay Hunt Act calls for speeding up access to mental health care to veterans, including reservists, boosting VA efforts to hire more psychiatrists, and review all current VA mental health programs for effectiveness.

“The Legislature unanimously approved a resolution strongly urging the Senate to approve the Clay Hunt SAV Act and ensure that our heroes are receiving the best care possible.

ration between our Lancaster Youth Bureau, our schools, and our community. All of it comes together and culminates on this day of organizing everything and getting ready for distribution later on in the afternoon,” remarked Schanne.

Since the youth bureau is a part of the WNY Holiday Partnership Program, the drive was able to get some extra help and additional resources they wouldn’t normally have gotten if they weren’t a part of this larger organization.

A big thanks goes out to the community, organizations and businesses for such a stellar effort, and Schanne, on behalf of the youth bureau, is “so thankful and appreciative of everything done.”

al or international catastrophes and emergencies.

Hunt was 28 when he committed suicide in March of 2011.

Currently, the bill has been delayed in the Senate and supporters are hoping to bring it up for a vote in 2015. The resolution of support from the Erie County Legislature will be forwarded to Sen. Charles Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

The Sun Editorial & Letters W W W. C P O W N Y . C O M

Helping others during the holiday season Throughout my career as an educator, I have taught in countries, schools, and communities of varying economic conditions. Often, as I drove to and from work in some of these communities, I would reflect on how difficult it must be for some families to provide for their children’s basic needs and to make ends meet. But during the holiday season, it was always amazing to see those who were more fortunate unite to make the season merrier for those families.

It is times like the holiday season, I think, that empower the humanity in all of us. These are moments in which our Lancaster community shines its brightest.

Through annual holiday food, clothing, and toy drives and distributions, those who have the means

of time, the resources, or simply the compassion for others, are able to work together for the greater good and magical opportunities start to happen.

This is truly exemplified in the outpouring of generosity that circulates through our community during the holiday season. It is a thing of wonder to visit the Lancaster Youth Bureau on holiday gift distribution day. Scores of students, school district employees, and community volunteers sort through thousands of donations to provide local families with food items, books, scarves, hats and mittens, gift cards, toys, live Christmas trees with decorations, and more.

It’s sometimes difficult to discern who is more thankful, the volunteers for the opportunity to give or the

Throughout each year, I am amazed by the extent to which our students and community partners go above and beyond to

give to and help others.

From volunteering at local organizations, hosting fundraising events to benefit local causes, organizing various collections, and many other efforts, our students are learning firsthand the importance of community service and the pleasure of helping others.

I am so proud to be working for a community that truly cares about all of its children and works so hard to take care of one another.

From my family to yours, and from our Lancaster School family to yours, I would like to thank everyone who works so diligently to make the holidays brighter for everyone. To one and all a joyous holiday season and prosperous new year.

I live in the Village of Lancaster and I would like to praise the Department of Public Works (DPW) for the fantastic job they did during our 74 inch snow storm. They worked around the clock having not much

time to sleep or eat.

My thanks to Superintendent Bill Cansdale and his crew, Edna Groth Lancaster, NY

Legislature delivers tax cut I am happy to report that the Erie County Legislature’s budget amendments have resulted in a tax rate decrease for next year. The Legislature worked together to reduce spending without impacting services. As a result, we were able to lower taxes in 2015. The County Executive’s proposed budget only held the line on taxes but that didn’t go far enough for taxpayers.

In addition, the Legislature realigned funding to allocate money to service groups that are dedicated to helping residents in need. In all, I am very pleased with the adopted budget, I believe we have created a sound budget that prioritizes critical services, provides funding to city and rural community organizations, and respects taxpayers.

Among the cuts made were to the Legislature’s budget.

We voted to reduce our own budget by nearly $100,000.

The reduction was achieved by eliminating a position, slashing the office supply budget line and reducing its rental costs, among other cuts. When the new Republican-aligned majority took control of the Legislature in 2014, one of my first acts as Chairman was requesting an audit of the Legislature by the Comptroller’s Office. Thanks to the findings of that audit, we were able to identify savings and take corrective action. As we near the end of this year we have a better understanding of our budget needs under the new majority and were able to reduce next

year’s budget accordingly. I am pleased we were able to identify these cuts and lead by example.

When I reviewed the County Executive’s proposed budget there were reductions made that I did not agree with.

For example, Graycliff Estates, Cornell Cooperative Extension and youth programs throughout Erie County saw reductions. My colleagues and I worked together to restore funding to the 2014 level for many organizations. Funding was also provided for the Food Bank of WNY and the Buffalo City Mission to assist them as they see an increase in requests for help. We supported these important agencies and organizations while still reducing taxes.

Our priority remained focused on protecting funding to critical services, this included Emergency Services, the Sheriff’s Office and road fund. We heard from many residents who urged the Legislature to protect services while insisting that funding be allocated efficiently. In any budget process a balance must be struck.

I want to thank my colleagues in the Legislature, the administration and his staff, and all the departments for working together on the 2015 budget.

If you have any questions about a county matter, please contact me at 858-8850 or email john.mills@erie.gov.

At 8:32 p.m., Dec. 12, patrol observed a 2003 Hyundai traveling west on Broadway, near Irwinwood Road. The vehicle’s headlights were not on and patrol initiated a traffic stop.

Patrol identified the driver as Leanne E. Grzybek, 23, of Depew. Patrol discovered Grzybek had a suspended New York State driver’s license and two scoffs for failing to pay a fine in the Town of Elma on July 27, and for failing to answer a summons in the Town of West Seneca on

At 7:24 p.m., Dec. 14, patrols were dispatched to Walmart, 4975 Transit Road, for a report of a male that departed the store pushing a shopping cart of dog toys and supplies without paying. The male was observed by the assistant store manager.

The manager observed the offender, Jesus E. Newton, 22, of Lancaster, pushing the shopping cart out of the parking lot and running into the wooded area by Wegmans.

Patrol arrived on location and conducted a search of the area and observed Newton walking into the NOCO gas station parking lot. Newton was returned to Walmart, where he was positively identified.

Newton was transported to the station for booking and charged with petit larceny. The total of property attempted to be stolen was listed at $229.

LANCASTER SUN CORRESPONDENT

The Lancaster Opera House will be putting on “The Littlest Snow Monster, “ an original winter tale by Adam Kreutinger, Cameron Garrity, and Zach Haumesser, at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Saturday Dec. 27 and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 28.

The show is considered a semi-musical, with four songs where a traditional musical would normally have about 14. The show is also a lot shorter, an hour long with intermission, in order to accommodate the younger members of the family, even though it’s written with all family members in mind.

“It’s a treat for young kids, but it’s a perfect family show…there’s a little something for parents to enjoy too. Like pop culture references, things like that,” said Kreutinger.

The show tells the story of Monty, the littlest snow monster, and his adventures through a magical arctic land to bring back the ancient Alp Horn from the clutches of an evil Ice Queen. It’s Monty’s turn to shine, blowing the alp horn to kick off the 16 Millionth Olympics, but the queen has something else in mind.

“Her birthday is the same day as the monster Olympics, so she’s upset no one recognizes her birthday,” explained Kreutinger, giving a motive and human quality to the queen.

In his quest to get the alp horn back, Monty makes lifelong friends, and finds

Spotting Sampson Just Got Easier…

Read on for Clues Have you spotted Sampson yet? Community Papers of WNY and the Buffalo Zoo, have joined together to welcome Sampson to his hometown. The Buffalo Zoo’s newest baby giraffe can be seen in a series of eight Lamar billboards throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area, from December through February 1, 2015.

These billboards are helping to usher in a new year of cel-

The first entry from each of our 25 community papers to correctly submit all

eight routes and cross-street billboard locations, will win the collectible giraffe.

After spotting all eight billboards, fill out the entry form on this page, and mail it to Community Papers of WNY, Attn: Sampson Billboard Contest, PO Box 790, Cheektowaga, NY 14225.

All eight locations must be included and identified to be eligible; only one entry per person; one winner chosen per paper.

To help you along, we will be providing weekly billboard location clues through February 1st.

strength in himself he didn’t know was there through his adventures.

The production is being done with puppets, animated through actors dressed in black and giving voice and facial expressions to the characters. With a small cast of seven, the actors play multiple characters, adjusting their voices and mannerisms to match the character they are holding. The only exception to this is the lead who plays Monty, and the Ice Queen, an actress in costume rather than a puppeteer. Puppets range from little Monty and the other villagers, to the nearly 7-foot tall polar bear puppet.

Kreutinger, who produced the show in addition to writing it, became interested in puppeteering when he was hired as an assistant puppeteer for the opera house’s showing of Little Shop of Horrors back in 2008.

“I discovered it is an amazing art form,” said Kreutinger, who is an art teacher by day and has performed as a professional magician in the past.

In fact, he loved the pup-

“It’s a piece of art that has two lives…a sculptural life, including making design choices, sculpting the foam, and adding core attributes, and a second life… able to be performed,” added Kreutinger.

Most art, traditionally, is made to be looked at in a museum, rather than brought to life. Shows like Avenue Q

and the Jim Henson Company have changed how we think about puppeteering, making it an immersive form of entertainment alive with detail and passionate actors.

Kreutinger hopes to bring this excitement for the art form to the opera house, and the families going to see it over the weekend.

Petit Larceny

At 2:11 p.m., Dec. 10, patrols responded to Kohl’s Department Store, 4835 Transit Road, for a report of a shoplifter in custody. On location, patrols spoke with the complainant, a Kohl’s loss prevention employee, who stated the offender, Corey J. King, 28, of Williamsville, was inside of their office.

King stated earlier today he called the store and had them hold a toy for him. He then came to the store with his mother and son. When his mother was able to distract his son, King snuck over to the customer service counter where he took the toy, hid it under his coat so that his son would not see it. King stated he forgot to pay for it before exiting the store, because he was in a hurry to hide it from his son inside his vehicle.

King was transported to the station and charged with petit larceny. The value of the toy was listed at $79.99. King was then placed into the custody of the Buffalo Police Department on a warrant for traffic.

Aug. 17.

Grzybek was arrested. A search incident to arrest, patrol found a straw in Grzybek’s boot. She stated she uses the straw to snort crushed Lortabs.

Patrol located a small clear plastic bag containing suspected marijuana in Grzybek’s bra.

Grzybek was issued tickets for unlawful possession of marijuana, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and an equipment violationno/inadequate lights. She was released on $100 bail.

Accolades keep coming for Molson Best offensive underclassman in WNY almost didn’t even play

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

Look out onto any gridiron in the fall, and it’s usually quite easy to spot the stud athlete.

Now just imagine that he’s not there.

Take away the 33 touchdowns.

Trash the 735 rushing yards.

Toss out the 1,650 passing yards.

That just might have been the case this season for the St. Mary’s High football team if quarterback Takal Molson’s mother—Felicia Baker—hadn’t agreed on letting him play and just had the 6-foot-2 junior focus solely on basketball like the original plan called for.

If that had happened, though, someone else would have been named the 2014 Jim Kelly Offensive Underclassman of the Year in Western New York on Dec. 13 at the Classics V Banquet Center in Amherst.

Baker, however, did let her son play and Molson did win the area’s highest junior and below prep football award earlier in the month—and no one could be more thrilled than Molson himself.

“I was pretty happy about it,” the 175-pounder said, “and my family are Bills fans, so they were pretty happy, too.”

DAVE DELUCA See “Playmaker” on page A7 Takal Molson had more than 2,300 yards in a season that earned him the 2014 Jim Kelly Offensive Underclassman of the Year Award.

Lancaster’s Norton on fire but still cooled Lancers down off by relentless Monsignor Martin squad Redskins at tourney, remain undefeated

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

By William ‘Ski’ Wilczewski SPORTS REPORTER

You don’t get much busier than Lancaster-Iroquois goalkeeper Madeline Norton did on Thursday, Dec. 18.

You also may not get more disappointed than she likely was after 45 minutes of grueling hockey.

That’s because—despite saving an amazing 47 of 49 shots on goal—the senior netminder still took a 2-1 loss to Monsignor Martin at the North Buffalo Ice Rink that night.

“Maddie Norton is a phenomenal athlete. She just showed it again today,” Lancaster skipper David Santoro said. “Without her in the net, they’re going to score more goals. There’s no question about it.”

“Maddie always plays well,” added Monsignor Martin head coach Linda Mroz. “She always comes up big for their team. She’s a great kid and a great hockey player, but we

Lancaster senior netminder Madeline Norton saved 47 of 49 shots on net on Thursday, Dec. 18 at the North Buffalo Ice Rink. Her squad, though, still lost 2-1 to Monsignor Martin. just couldn’t find the holes. It was ridiculous.”

When they did in the second and third periods—on netters from Maeve Christ and Kayla Blas, respectively—it was also Lancaster’s second loss to Monsignor Martin in a little more than a week, and the second in two days for the club, which got clobbered 5-0

by Monsignor Martin on Dec. 10 and fell 3-1 with a late empty-net goal to Orchard Park-Frontier on Dec. 17.

“Yesterday I attribute some of what happened to the girls being sick,” Santoro said.

“Today, after the way Monsignor Martin beat us last time, our girls stepped their game up and played a great game

against a very good team.

So, to lose in the last couple minutes to a team that’s as good as Monsignor Martin, I’m very proud of the effort they put out today.”

See “Hockey” on page A7

The look on the face of Lancaster High boys basketball coach John Otto said it all on Saturday, Dec. 20.

Exhaustion.

Dejection.

That’s because his Redskins had seemingly outplayed local rival St. Mary’s on the hardwood that day but still couldn’t stave off the streaking Lancers.

Instead, St. Mary’s played strong down the stretch and upped their record to 5-0 after topping Lancaster 61-56 in round one of the Wildcat Tournament at Depew High.

It dropped Lancaster to 4-3.

“The stress level got up and we started to turn the ball over; some of it unforced,” Otto said after the game. “Then it came down to a one possession game and we probably gave away four or five possessions unforced, which hurt us.”

The energy was also quite electric down the stretch in Depew but Otto said that shouldn’t have affected his boys.

“We’re a fairly experienced team, so I would hope that didn’t play much of a part in

it,” he said. “I just think (St. Mary’s) came out with a little bit more intensity and picked up the pressure some (in the second half). They got all the loose balls and the long rebounds, which is a big part of it. That showed a lot of heart for their team.”

That heart, though, needed a boost at halftime when the Lancers went into the locker room down by 10 after a slew of turnovers in the early going.

“The kids looked like they had just lost their puppy; like the game was over,” St. Mary’s head coach Paul Rath explained, “but I said, ‘Guys, we can score 10 points in a minute,’ and they bought into it. And once we got the lead, the kids got their mojo back and they were ready.”

“We did turn the ball over a lot in the first half and we weren’t on the glass a lot on the defensive side,” added St. Mary’s junior Takal Molson, who ended with a game-high 25 points, “but the coach told us at halftime to be more aggressive on the defensive side and take care of the ball.”

The Lancaster Sun / Saturday, December 27, 2014

Junior played integral Loss to Monsignor Martin marked 1st role in win over Joe’s time this season Lancaster lost 2 in a row “Playmaker” from page A6 It’s that same family that can now marvel at the trophy and Kelly autographed ball that Molson received that night, but when it comes to marveling over all things Molson, it’s difficult to top Lancer head coach Chris Glenn in that category.

“It’s a great honor and he deserved it,” said Glenn, who’s coached the likes of University at Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata and Williamsville South senior signal caller Sam Castronova, who had 32 TDs this season. “I’m not saying he’s better than them.

I’m just saying he’s got the potential.”

And that potential was no more apparent this past season then when St. Mary’s defeated St. Joe’s for only the second time in 56 years. Molson led the 52-26 charge with five TDs (three passing, two rushing) and more than 300 yards of total offense, aside from his duties as a cornerback on the defensive end of the ball.

Not bad for a kid that hadn’t shown up to any summer drills, so started the preseason number three on the depth charts.

That didn’t last long.

“He wasn’t ready to buy into the discipline, taking directions and being a teamplayer,” Glenn explained, “not that he didn’t want to, he just wasn’t used to it.”

That’s because Glenn was new onboard the ship, too, and had an entirely new set of expectations that none of the boys seemed used to.

But, just like the team grew to understand what Glenn expected, Molson grew to understand the offense.

“It took him a while to come around,” Glenn said, “but once he did, he got better every single day—and boy was he fun to watch.

“To win six games and have him emerge as a leader was great for Takal, but also

Takal Molson stands with the signed football and trophy he won Dec. 13 at the Classics V Banquet Center in Amherst. great for the school,” the skipper added, “because the school is full of great athletes; he’s just one of them.

But I’m super proud of him, and he’s only going to get better, so I’m really looking forward to next year.”

The same can said for Molson, who plans to take advantage of the football offseason this time around but using the free summer camp pass he received from Kelly as part of the award.

“There is going to be a little bit of pressure to be better (next season),” he said, “but I’m planning to have a way better year. My athletic ability helped me through this year, but with some time to learn the system better, I feel I can do a lot better.”

It’s hard to say how much better that can get for Molson.

Are we talking 40 TDs? Maybe 1,000 rushing yards?

Perhaps 2,000 yards through the air?

No one knows—not even Molson, because when asked what would make 2015 a better season, all he said was: “We need to work on playing better defense.”

“Hockey” from page A6 Santoro was referring to Blas’ tip-in that occurred with less than two minutes left in regulation play. Making that kind of play down the stretch left Blas pretty stoked when the dust settled.

“I really don’t even know what happened,” said Blas, a Sacred Heart product. “It’s all kind of a blur now, but all I remember is that I was there for the tip-in rebound, so it was great. The thrill after the goal was amazing.”

Mroz, on the other hand, was frustrated that it took her girls so many shots to put the game away—which gave them a 4-1 record and dropped Lancaster to 4-3.

added a basket each.

The first week of action in the Boys Midget Division was comprised of four games, beginning with the Knicks’ 44-27 victory over the Celtics. Evan Mueller and Ethan Westfield both hit for double digits, scoring 14 and 10 points, respectively, as the Knicks broke open a 14-14 halftime tie and coasted to the win.

Plenty of support was provided in the form of Ryan Andolina’s six points, four each from Ryan Corcoran and Tyler Derkovitz, and six points split evenly amongst Riley Molnar, William Mueller and Tyler Rick.

Michael Marcezin tried to keep things close for the Celtics, scoring seven second-half points to finish with 11. He was supported by Ryan Merz’s eight points and a bucket apiece

by Jared Rupp, John Favata, Eric Frys and Ben Merz, but the Knicks just had too much firepower on this day.

In the second boys game of the day, the Bulls circled the wagons early and breezed to a 40-27 victory over the Braves.

Harald Rehm (14) and Matt Jandzinski (12) led the way with double-digit scoring and were aided nicely by Jack Martindale six points, Chris Martin’s four, and two points each from Dean Wendel and Alex Folster.

The Braves fell behind by 16 at halftime, but fought back valiantly to keep things respectable. Josh Jelonek scored 14, Michael Wolski had nine and Richie Kamats and Mark Martin chipped in a basket each in the losing effort.

and Kaitlin Drew-Mead.

Blas also tallied an assist on Christ’s goal, which occurred 18 seconds into the second period when the Monsignor Martin found itself down 1-0 after a first period netter from Lancaster sophomore forward Jenelle Piatt.

That was only one of 12 shots that Lancaster took on Brianna Gawronski this time around, but what made the final score in this battle much closer, according to Santoro, was his club’s intensity.

“We told our girls to go out and skate with more it; with more sense of urgency,” he

explained, “and they went out and did it. That’s what made this one a much closer game today.”

Still, it was the first time Lancaster had lost two straight games so far this season—a trend they hoped didn’t continue when they hosted West Seneca-Hamburg in East Aurora on Monday, Dec. 22 after the Sun’s early holiday deadlines.

Monsignor Martin was also scheduled to face Kenmore on Tuesday, Dec. 23 in a non-league game before all teams took a holiday break.

Play is now slated to resume after the New Year.

Concannon, Molson finish in double digits “Hoops” from page A6 The result was St. Mary’s tying the game at 37 with a little more than a minute left in the third quarter, which ended in a 41-all stalemate.

To begin the fourth, Rath received a technical foul after berating the referee. It turned a two-point Redskin lead into four after Collin Murray sank both free throws. St. Mary’s, though, continued to battled back and tied it again at 48 with a pair Tony Robinson free throws.

Then, with about two and half minutes left in regulation, the Lancers took a slim lead that they hung onto until the final buzzer, thanks—in large part—to nailing all eight of their last free throws down the stretch.

“That’s a big hat’s off to the kids for taking that deep breathe and stroking it through,” Rath said. “Hats off to the kids for sticking with it and believing in themselves, you know?”

Aside from Molson, Lancer

Parks and Rec hoops tip off Despite losing a week due to the weather in November, the Lancaster Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department’s Youth Basketball League started on schedule at Como Park Elementary School with a full slate of games in the Girls’ Bantam and Boys’ Midget divisions.

The Bears and Huskies kicked off the 2014-15 season and battled back and forth in a closely played first half. The Bears, however, used a 21-point second half to blow the game open and win 35-22. Willie Weidman and Bridget Brown led the Bears with 14 and 12 points, respectively, and were aided by Karen Favata’s three points and a basket apiece from Morgan Molino, Ella Stoldt and Kaylee Weierheiser.

The Huskies’ got 11 points from Mattea Gill, seven from Annabella Persico, four from Ryann O’Carroll and two from Rachel Kamrowski, but it wasn’t enough to bring down the hot-shooting Bears.

In the other girls contest, the Spartans allowed the Bulldogs only six second-half points and won a hard-fought game, 2421. Grace Pyc spearheaded the Spartan attack with 10 points and received ample help from teammates Grace Harrington, who finished with six points, and Brooke Bauer and Grace Szpylman, who both chipped in four.

The Bulldogs got balanced scoring from their lineup, but came up just short. Rachel Turner and Caroline Helenbrook each scored six points, Laine Miklas had five, and Rebecca Au and McKenna Corcoran

“The girls, I think, just get so overexcited when they fi nally get the puck and they want to make the pretty play,” she said, “so I tell them on the bench, ‘You guys are really cute off the ice, but we can’t be cute on the ice,’ so just get the puck to the net and get the ugly, trashy goals.

“That’s fine,” she added. “It doesn’t matter. As long as it goes in, it’s in, so just find the holes, pound away and keep going—and you gotta get all over those rebounds like a fat kid on cake.”

That’s exactly what Blas did on a play that was assisted by Catherine Radwan

the boys division had to be the Clippers-Grizzlies tilt. Knotted at halftime, the teams traded baskets in the second half before the Clippers’defense shut down the Grizzlies late in the game to secure a 32-29 win. Travis Bauer scored 12 points, Matt Bauer eight, Jacob Elias six, Evan Schaefer four and Cooper Sage two in a well-played opening game for both teams.

The Grizzlies used solid teamwork, exemplified by their balanced scoring — Jack Harrington (eight points), Adam Devic (six), Jeffrey Burgess (six), J.J. Counihan (four), Brandon Netzel (three) and Joe McGovern (two) — to keep the game tight, but came up short nonetheless.

The last game of the day saw the Spurs flex their defensive muscles in the first half, holding the Lakers to just seven points at the break, and win handily, 43-23. Adam Bagley and Ryan Taylor topped six Spurs on the score sheet, with 18 and 13 points, respectively. Andrew Caligiuri and Mitchell Mycek each scored four and Zachary Doering and Peter Skulski notched a bucket apiece in the victory.

The Lakers found their offensive way in the second half, but not enough to climb from the 15-point hole they had dug for themselves. That offense was provided by Josh Conklin and Troy Zamrock, who split 12 points, Brayden Monk, who added four, and the trio of Bryan Schuman, Braden Callahan and Andrew Williams, who each contributed two points to the effort.

They were the only two in double digits for the visitor, though, while three Redskins hit that mark, including Tyler Lis (12), Collin Murray (11) and Alex Damiani (11)— three guys that also played a

“We were trying to make that perfect tight little pass,” Rath explained, “but we needed to make the smart pass, you know? Value the possession, and we did, and we finally got into a little rhythm against their zone.

“It’s not so much being undefeated,” he added. “It’s about having good play out there and going with the flow. But being undefeated is nice right now and so is beating one our rivals, so the kids had a lot of fun doing that.”

“It was a big character test to see us come back from a 10-point game,” Molson added, “so that was real good.”

Lancaster, on the other hand, has to go back to the drawing board and rebound from here, and Otto is confident that can do just that.

They just need one thing.

“We need some leaders to take control in the locker room,” he said. “Hopefully they do that and we can move on.”

Later in the day, host Depew nipped City Honors 52-51 to advance to Monday’s tourney title game, which was played after early holiday deadlines.

PRO FOOTBALL CORNER

FROM the SIDELINES

Bills players help kids Play 60, playoff chances squandered

By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Chris Hogan participates in Play 60 and Fitness for Kids Challenge events all season long, but still, the athletic instincts and abilities of some of the participating kids manage to surprise him every time.

“There are always a couple of kids out here that will actually really juke you out,” Hogan said with a laugh.

Even so, athletic ability notwithstanding, Hogan thinks it’s just good to see kids being active.

Hogan, alongside his Buffalo teammates and representatives from the Independent Health Foundation and the American Heart Association, hosted 300 elementary school students from participating schools throughout Western New York to celebrate the completion of the Play 60 Challenge on Dec. 16 inside the AdPro Field House at One Bills Drive.

The Play 60 Challenge is a key initiative of the Buffalo Bills and the NFL that encourages America’s youth to be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day.

The Challenge was offered to local students in partnership with the Independent Health Foundation’s Fitness for Kids Challenge in a joint

effort to increase students’ physical activity and encourage good nutrition.

Hogan and his fellow Bills spoke with children about the significance of physical activity and healthy eating and supervised footballoriented physical fitness stations.

Hogan, of course, was holding a blocking pad. And while some of the kids managed to juke the second-year Bill out, he was encouraged by the turnout and enjoyed being there.

“I love doing these Play 60 events,” he said. “We do them all year and I look forward to coming out here and running around with the kids. It’s a good time and they get a kick out of it.

It’s a lot of fun seeing how much fun they have with just a couple of Bills players out here.”

Matching the excitement of participating children can be a tall order, the 26-yearold said, but after a few minutes, he was having just as much as fun as they were.

“Five minutes into it I find myself running around more than the kids are and sweating,” Hogan said. “I love these events.”

He’s not the only one.

Bills center and captain Eric Wood, a sixth-year veteran, supervised a blowup slide with quarterback Jeff Tuel.

“The whole Play 60 program is great,” Wood said.

Bills kicker Dan Carpenter watches as a young participant sends a ball toward mini uprights that were set up at the Bills Play 60 event Dec. 16.

“Childhood obesity is growing in this country and anything we can do to help that and get the kids out having fun is a great deal. And it seems like the kids are having a blast.”

••• A few days after the Bills hosted area elementary students, the Oakland Raiders hosted the Bills. But the Raiders weren’t in it for fun and games.

The Raiders spoiled Buffalo’s bid for one of the AFC’s wildcard spots by defeating the Bills, 26-24, in what was a must-win game for Doug Marrone’s squad.

The loss came one week after Buffalo upset Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers behind a stalwart defensive effort.

The Bills clinched their 15th straight season without

a playoff berth with the loss.

••• What could have been a rivalry showdown between a postseason-hungry Buffalo team and a New England unit that dominates the Bills perennially, has turned into a game with little significance behind it.

The Bills will head to Foxboro later this week to take on the Patriots at 1 p.m.

Sunday, Dec. 28 at Gillete

Stadium. The game will be broadcast on CBS. The Patriots (12-3), who beat the Jets 17-16 on Sunday, have already locked up a first-round bye but could be playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Bills (8-7), meanwhile, will aim to finish a season over .500 for the first time since 2004.

New England defeated Buffalo in Week 6, 37-22.

Hamburg natives help D’Youville hoops to hot start

By Marquel Slaughter SPORTS REPORTER

Regardless of her participation in leagues with the locally-popular Little Cagers basketball league as a tween to playing three years of varsity ball under Kelly Owens, Alexis Smith never truly thought about taking her skills to the next level and hooping in college.

It was not until her senior year at Hamburg High School when D’Youville began recruiting her. With her intentions of studying in the medical field, it was the perfect college for Smith academically.

Now in her junior season playing basketball at DYC, Smith has teamed up alongside fellow Hamburg native in Nichols grad Morgan McDermott to help coach Dan Glover and the Lady Spartans to a 7-2 record, which is on pace to become the most successful season since 2007-08.

“Just looking back on last

year you can see that we’re pretty much a completely different team,” said McDermott, a sophomore who is aiding DYC to its best season since it went 22-6 and advanced to the Division III tournament in 2007-08.

“We’re so much better this year. This year I think our team chemistry is something that adds into us winning games.

I think it’s a key component.”

McDermott attended St. Peter and Paul before enrolling to Nichols for high school. She became the only freshman to make the varsity cut as a ninth grader and was a four-year player when she left in 2013.

Smith graduated from Hamburg in 2012 with intentions of playing for the coach who recruited her. When coach stepped down late that August early in the semester, Glover came to a roster of six girls and put together a squad full of other athletes to field a team.

After some time and recruiting his own freshmen classes, Glover has D’Youville off to its best start in years, a major improvement from 11 wins by

the end of last year and seven the season before.

“Experience,” said Glover, who is a 2006 Lake Shore graduate. “With the last couple of years bringing in recruiting classes, I think a lot of people getting playing time when they were young has given them experience now.

They’ve been through tough situations and now they’re prepared for it.”

“Coming in, I didn’t really know what to expect, and with the coaching change there was a new outlook,” said Smith.

One of those hoopers that found their opportunity to take advantage of the time given to her early in her college career was Smith. Not only was her 34 points a record-high for a freshman, she topped that with 37 that same year, which still stands as the single game record for points scored within the program.

She was honored as a secondteam all-conference player and received Newcomer of the Year.

“We knew she was going to be something special,” said

Glover. “She was a kid who had raw talent.”

McDermott‘s addition was an essential one to DYC’s growth as a program and in order to change the culture around, she became a part of Glover’s first recruiting class.

The Nichols alumna was scouted for her hard work, high basketball IQ and shooting ability to help out the remaining returners.

“They had the tools to be successful. They just needed someone to help them get to that point,” said Glover.

Once a go-to player on the offensive side of the ball, Smith has found herself in a much different role lately than she was her first season.

“Obviously with her third year her role changed a little bit, but in the three years she has also matured as a player and can accept that change of role,” said Glover. “But she’s that type of player who can change the game for us and she has.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what she has in store for us the rest of her junior year

and senior year.”

Medaille may be the rival college right down the street but D’Youville is too busy making history against the top teams in the league. La Roche has always given trouble to DYC and the rest of the city but it was this fall where DYC’s 11-point loss was the closest margin of victory against the conference powerhouse.

The Spartans found themselves down 25 at halftime before battling back and getting within eight.

“That right there showed me we played to our potential in the second half,” Glover said.

“The first half we just have to get over the feeling of ‘oh ,this is La Roche…’ But we took a step in the right direction in the end of it. We never gave up.

We played hard the entire time.

I’m happy for that aspect.”

There are plenty of basketball players from the Western New York area that are making their waves at DYC. Awilda Murphy is a freshman from Sacred Heart that Glover called “a program changer.” Bridget Andrews

(Sacred Heart) is in her senior year and is approaching 1,000 points.

Senior Jillian Piniewski (West Seneca West) transferred to DYC after spending two years hooping at Brockport. Kayla Brown (Cardinal O’Hara) is also a transfer, spending her freshman year at Daemen before finding a home with the Spartans.

Sophomore Alyssa Donnelly (Nichols) is used to stretch the floor, junior Sarah Marino (Holy Angels) has a lethal jumper and is usually the one to get the bench going and Danette Laguerre (Hutch Tech) is a solid backup point guard that has been getting over some injuries.

With the help of out-oftown talent such as Jean-Ann Korona, Ali Cochrane, Amanda Marcely, Mary Roberts, Casey Bartels and Hannah Simone, each of the Western New Yorkers have key roles for DYC. “We’re ready to make a splash this season and make history,” said Glover. ”That’s what we came to do.”

Cycon has strong day for Lady Redskin track at Fredonia Christmas arrived early last Saturday (Dec. 20) at Fredonia State as the Lancaster indoor track and field teams combined for a good number of first place finishes.

The girls team was led by senior captain Tiffany Cycon, who posted an all-time personal best

when she won the 55-meter dash in 7.56. She also ran the opening leg of the winning 4x200-meter relay team, which finished in 1:51.8 and also consisted of Molly Scarpello, Morgan Foster and Olivia Gervan.

Cycon also matched her alltime best in the 300-meter run with a time of 43.5, which was good for second.

Lancaster’s other senior captain, Kelsey Barrett, won the 1500-meter racewalk in a very

fast time of 7:52.

Gervan won her specialty, the high jump, with a clearance of 5 feet, 1 inch. Scarpello took second in the 55-meter dash in 7.61.

Sophomore Katy Jargiello placed second in the 1500-meter racewalk with a time of 9:04.7.

Sarah Folster set an all-time personal best in the same event, crossing in 9:07.7, good for third.

Senior Kim Grazen took third

in the 55-meter hurdles in a time 9.65 and Olivia Kucharski rounded out the top three scoring with a third place finish in the 3000-meter run in 12:17.2.

The boys team was equally impressive with five individual wins. Senior Steve George won the 55-meter dash in 6.64 and also ran the second leg of the Redskins’ victorious 4x200meter relay (Connor Fuller, Jake Valley, Jesse Kucewicz, George). The four combined to

cross in 1:38.9.

Colin Blair showed he is in midseason form with a huge throw, winning the shotput with a toss of 56 feet, 3 inches.

Steve Neumaier ran the 1600-meter run for the first time, which resulted in a win in a time of 4:42.

Valley tied the school record in the long jump with a winning jump of 21 feet, 7 inches. Connor Strusienski had a PR in the shotput, taking second with a

toss of 44 feet, 4 inches.

Brad Bedell improved his time in the 3200-meter run with a third place time of 10:22.4. Cal Hoag was third in the triple jump with a leap of 39 feet, 2 inches.

The 4x400-meter relay team of Dan Emerson, Kyle Bobeck, Kyle Koch and Bedell took third with a cross time of 3:56.4.

Next on the schedule for Lancaster will be the WNY Relay, scheduled for 9 a.m. Dec. 30 at Fredonia State College.
