Robotics is the rage at St. John’s

Robotics is the rage at St. John the Baptist School in Kenmore.

Science Chairperson Miss Katie Cooke launched a Robotics Club for her middle school students. Robotics is part of the school’s STEM/STREAM initiative that incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, along with religion and the arts, into its curriculum.

Students are tasked to build robotic devices capable of performing numerous tasks, including moving blocks, pushing boxes, and clasping erasers.

In order to successfully complete such fetes, these

young engineers spent months devising plans to build robots that would meet the challenges.

Katie Cooke commented, “It really required the students to work cooperatively, troubleshoot the strengths and weaknesses of their designs, and master the mechanics of building. They needed to use their macro-skills from various disciplines of science and focus the concepts to a pin-pointed project.

This requires my students to go beyond rote memorization of facts and forces them to have a solid understanding of the concepts.”

Two teams from St. John’s competed at the science

scrimmage held at St. Joseph Collegiate Institute.

Cooke continues, “We had over a dozen students compete on two teams, self-named ‘The Circuit-Breakers’ and ‘The Rubber Duckies.’ The competitiveness between our own two in-house teams, along with competing among 20 Diocesan teams, was an added incentive for them to do their very best. Although St. Greg’s in Williamsville won the competition, I was very pleased to have both our teams finish in the top five spots. Considering this was our inaugural year, I couldn’t have been prouder of our teams.”

Skiscape 2015 raises $15,000 for KED

Inside Sales Representatives

NORTH TONAWANDA SUN EDITOR

Last Sunday, Jan. 4, skiers and snow boarders had the opportunity to share their love for the hills with the Kids Escaping Drugs organization (KED) as they took part in Skiscape 2015.

The event is held annually at Holimont Ski Resort, in Ellicottville. The day allows for a full day of skiing and snowboarding as participants get to take part in individual races and, of course, the firefighter races.

Despite the warm weather and limited snowfall, which caused poor skiing conditions, the day still welcomed almost half of the amount of people that normally attend the event - both skiers and non-skiers.

“There weren’t as many people as we usually get, but people did still come to show support,” said Special Events Coordinator Christina Kruzer.

Skiscape began 16 years ago, during which KED paired with Holimont in order to help raise awareness and money for the KED Campaign that focuses on helping kids who are addicted to

As a result of limited skiers at the event, the downhill races were not held. However, Kruzer noted the organization still did well with the auction and it was still a good day.

monies, and student payment—since the program’s inception in fall 2012. He also reports that 204 students are currently on ECC’s roster to apply for FASNY assistance, and the college plans to welcome more applications as the successes of the program spread across the region.

“ECC is very proud and honored to be part of the FASNY Program and to be able to serve our firefighters with the education needs they have,” said Chmielowiec, who reports that students are currently enrolled in 18 of ECC’s FASNY-approved programs like Criminal Justice and Nursing.

Under FASNY HELP, student-volunteers are eligible to have up to 100% of their tuition reimbursed in exchange for maintaining their grades and fulfilling defined service requirements. They must also be a “member in good standing” in one of New York’s volunteer fire companies during both their school years and service payback period.

And, if they’re in good standing, they’ll be good firefighters on the job, something Steve DiPasquale—a 39-year member of the North Amherst Volunteer Fire Department—notes as essential to Erie County.

“It’s with great pride to know that the volunteer firemen of Erie County have embraced the program, utilized it as it was meant to be and, in the end, ECC has benefitted greatly,” said DiPasquale. “This program has been a win for all of Erie County and I would like to thank everyone that was involved from the beginning and congratulate all on a job well done.”

It’s not too late for new students/recruits to take advantage of the HELP grant for the spring semester. As outlined by FASNY, students who meet the requirements, including a 4.0 GPA, are eligible for full reimbursement. Students recording a 3.03.99 GPA receive 85 percent reimbursement and a GPA between 2.0-2.99 earns them 75 percent reimbursement. The grant program also requires that students/volunteers meet the necessary service demands of their fire department. Interested residents can learn more about the program by contacting their local fire department.

For information on the program or to simply apply, go online to www.fasny.com/ index.php/resources/fasny-help; contact ECC’s Tom Chmielowiec at chmielowiect@ ecc.edu; or send e-mail to HELP@fasny. com to the attention of John D’Alessandro, deputy volunteer programs coordinator, or call (855) 367-6933

Erie Community College’s “Pathways to Success” Pre-Collegiate Studies program will start its next session Monday, Feb. 2; and registration is now open for those looking to enroll. ECC’s Pre-Collegiate Studies program provides free 10-week, non-credit instruction for adults who are planning to start college, but aren’t ready academically or need to improve their math and reading skills before taking the ECC placement test. In addition to college reading, writing and mathematics sessions, the program co

Back in spring 2012, Erie County’s community college students couldn’t take advantage of a New York grant program that allows volunteer firefighters to receive tuition reimbursement in exchange for first responder service.

Fast forward to the days leading into 2015, when Erie Community College officials can now boast the state’s highest enrollment numbers under the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York Higher Education Learning Plan. And thanks to this increased attendance—with nearly 150 students registered as of the Fall 2014 semester—ECC can also report over $500,000 in additional student tuition due to opportunities afforded under the FASNY plan.

“I am pleased to learn that a notable number of students are taking advantage of the FASNY tuition program and committing themselves to serve their volunteer fire company,” said Erie County Legislator Edward Rath, a leading proponent of the program and its benefits to county residents.

“This program is a great benefit for the community, fire departments, ECC and students. I hope that we continue to see an increase in participation and applaud those who have enrolled in the program, earning a quality education while serving those in need.”

The Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) developed the plan as an incentive for people to serve in volunteer fire service. New York’s volunteer fire departments are currently experiencing a critical need to recruit and retain members.

As an incentive for people to serve, FASNY developed the Higher Education Learning Plan (FASNY HELP). This program provides tuition reimbursement to individuals attending community college for up to eighty (80) credit hours and, according to ECC President Jack Quinn, provides area residents yet another way to take advantage of the three-campus college’s careerfocused education.

“We at ECC are very proud of the successes we’ve experienced through the FASNY program,” said Quinn. “We’re here for the community, so we’re thrilled to offer area residents yet another way to pursue affordable educational opportunities.”

According to ECC FASNY Tuition Representative Tom Chmielowiec, the college has taken in approximately $534,603.41—from a combination of FASNY assistance, TAP and PEL grant

Local sports Ken East, West split double-header in crosstown clash

By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

Crowds cheering and stomping their feet. Athletes giving it all they have until the final buzzer. That’s what a rivalry should be.

Serena Sordetto hit two free throws with 4.2 seconds to play as the Lady Bulldogs edged the Lady Blue Devils, 53-52.

Meanwhile, eight Blue Devils hit the score sheet as Ken West beat Ken East, 51-34, in boys action to earn the split in the first installment of the Battle of Kenmore basketball double-header that was held Jan. 6 at Kenmore East.

Ken West was clinging to a 52-51 lead when Sordetto, a freshman, drove to the hoop and drew a foul. As Sordetto

stepped to the stripe with the game on the line and all eyes on her, she received words of encouragement from senior captain Sarah McCarthy — who also happens to be Sordetto’s free throw partner in practice.

Sordetto collected herself and sank her two shots, which touched off a wild celebration on the court as the buzzer went.

“It was so important to our team,” Sordetto said of the win.

“We worked so hard the past two weeks to pull it together, work as a team and never get down on ourselves. We wanted to win this.”

“I told her you will always remember that,” said East coach Jack Blanch. “No matter what transpires in the rest of your career.”

With just one senior on the team, the Lady Bulldogs are one of the youngest teams across the board in the NFL. Getting this win over rival Ken West, a top-10 ranked team,

JEFFREY T. BARNES

Trent White and the Blue Devils beat Ken East. was a huge confidence booster.

After spending the holiday break trying to fine tune their game, learn how to limit turnovers and shore up all aspects, Blanch said this was the best team effort all season.

While starters like Kiaja O’Neil (18 points) and Ken-

dall Mills (12) set the tone offensively, Lyndsay O’Brien, Emma Knab and Katia Weeks gave strong minutes and Britney Banks had 14 rebounds.

The Blue Devils battled until the end. Grace Ferguson, who led her team with 16 points, completed a 4-point play with

5:06 left in the third, then dropped a 3-pointer minutes later to spark the Blue Devils’ comeback after Ken East had jumped to a 31-21 lead.

Anna Quinlan (10) and Katie Proy (11/three blocks) were also in double figures for Ken West.

“We never quit,” said Lady Blue Devils coach Jeff Martin.

“We kept coming and it was just a matter of they had one more possession at the end than we did.”

In boys action,Kenmore West fell behind early, 11-6 after the first quarter. But they tightened up their defense and boxed out more on the defensive end of the court in the second quarter, which turned the tide for the Blue Devils as they slowly but surely took charge of the game. Moving to 3-5 overall, the Blue Devils felt they took some important steps in finding that continuity they have been looking for.

“In parts,” said West coach

Mike Meetze. “Actually, I think we did play good team basketball, but we didn’t always make the right decision. Second quarter I thought we played really, really good team basketball. That was the difference in the game to me because East never came back.”

Justin Haeick had 14 points to lead the Bulldogs. Point guard Tal James had eight points for the Blue Devils and Aaron Tucker added seven in his first game against his former Bulldog teammates.

The game everyone circles first on the calendar, Meetze said there was no need for a pep talk tonight.

“I shouldn’t have to say too much,” he said with a smile.

King’s competitiveness, athleticism drive her to success

By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

Emily King still remembers the thrill and pride of being named the Best Female Athlete at Hoover Middle School when she was in eighth grade.

Why does that memory stand out so much? Because it was something she had her sights set on since sixth grade.

That should give you some kind of idea of just how driven and competitive Emily King is.

“That was the thing I worked for,” King said after a recent practice at LincolnArena. “That

was the thing that I wanted the most. It was like a relief getting it because I wanted it so much and I’m real proud of it.”

A Kenmore West junior in her fifth season with the Kenmore Devil-Dogs girls Federation hockey team, King has been lighting up the scoreboard as she currently leads her team in assists (four), points (10) and is tied for first in goals with six.

While some high school student-athletes might dismiss a middle school award as no big thing, you won’t get that reaction from King. By no means would King ever brag about that, or any other award, but the fact that she

can still smile with pride when asked about it reveals the deeprooted, competitive spirit that drives this talented young lady.

“Oh yeah,” King said with a shy smile. “I’m very competitive. Everything that I do I want (to win). Even if it’s my best friend. Like me and Olivia Smith and we compete for points.

We’re best friends but we both want to have the most points on the team.”

Kenmore head coach Jeff Orlowski has seen King’s drive and desire from day one.

A charter member of the very first Kenmore girls Fed team, Orlowski said that Emily King

is that hybrid athlete who can do anything and is someone you want on your side when you go to war.

“She’s a gifted athlete,” said Orlowski. “You can’t teach athleticism. You’re either born with it or you’re not. She’s got one of the best hockey senses that I’ve ever seen. She reads the play well, she reads goal tenders well and she’s got a rocket for a wrist shot. Goalies are scared of it.”

King said that going from being a wide-eyed, seventh grade rookie idolizing the older girls, to now one of the team’s veteran leaders herself seems

somewhat surreal at times.

“I feel like I just started that seventh grade season yesterday,” said King. “It doesn’t feel like it’s been five seasons already. It’s so weird. I don’t know, it feels like I’m still in seventh grade. Especially being a seventh grader with seniors.

It’s weird to be one of the upper classmen on the team now since I was always the baby.”

While it still feels a bit odd at times to hold the stature of veteran leader and captain, King knows how to step up, whether it’s with her actions or her words, to be the kind of girl her team can always

count on. Still feeling like a seventh grader at times gives King patience and a unique understanding and perspective on what to do when her younger mates seek her help.

“I think it’s easier for me because I know what they’re going through,” said King.

Hoping to help Kenmore get back to, and win, states, there isn’t anything Emily King wouldn’t do for the team she loves.

“So much,” King said. “Especially for this team that I love, obviously.We’ve grown up with each other. We’ve been with each other since seventh grade.”

Local sports Mount St. Mary gives defending champion a scare

By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

Dropping eight of its first 11 games certainly wasn’t how the Mount St. Mary Thunder basketball team planned on starting the season. But as firstyear varsity coach Mike McCarthy takes stock in the first half of the season more than the black and white of wins and losses, McCarthy said he could not be more proud of the effort his girls have put in every day.

“We play hard every game. It’s engrained in them, my coaching style.

They know what’s expected everyday,” McCarthy said minutes after his

team threw a scare into defending Catholic and Federation Class A champion Cardinal O’Hara on Jan. 5. The Hawks emerged as winners, 52-49.

“I think more than anything else, it’s another upsetting loss, McCarthy said. “With this crazy, tough schedule that we have, on any given day we can win a game against one of these opponents.

We have eight losses now all to ranked opponents basically. That’s tough, but it’s a loss to be proud of, too, because the girls play hard every time they go out there.”

Falling, as McCarthy said, to ranked opponents like O’Hara, Mt. Mercy and Kenmore West, in some cases by a matter of just one or two possessions, McCarthy said his girls haven’t ever backed down or quit. And the

Thunder keeps moving forward always expecting to win every time it steps on the floor. Regardless of the outcome each night, McCarthy stressed that he is always proud of the desire and effort the girls have shown.

“To be honest, I try to have the same mentality all the time,” said McCarthy.

“I’m a loud, crazy, aggressive style of coach. My girls understand that. They have a very short memory.

They get past (a loss) really quickly. I don’t, for the most part, look for small little victories. The bottom line is winning games. But I’m also the father of a daughter who’s a 12-year-old. So there’s parts to be proud of the girls, individually and as a team. So I am proud of them. I want to win, but I’m proud of them.”

While the Hawks were

missing three key players, most notably leading scorer Anndea Zeigler, the Thunder put forth a solid effort and gave O’Hara a good test.

Julie Fleming led the way with 20 points as the Mount took a 20-19 lead with a minute to play in the first half.

Katie Meegan hit a huge 3-pointer to cut the O’Hara lead to 34-33. Meighan Murphy also played the strong, physical game against O’Hara that is the epitome of the fight and the hunger the Thunder has shown every night.

“It’s something I see in every single practice, let alone game,” said McCarthy. “That’s how they are in practice. I’m used to it. That’s the way my team was last year on the JV level. I have five of those girls on this team. Nothing surprises me with them.”

O’Hara defeated Mount St. Mary on Jan. 5, 52-49.

Joe’s drops Canisius in on-ice edition of heated rivalry

By Dave Ricci SPORTS REPORTER

There is no such thing as a run-of-the-mill St.Joe’s/ Canisius game.

The Marauders collected the most recent win in the neverending rivalry when St. Joe’s handed Canisius a 5-1 loss in a WNY Federation Hockey game that was played Jan. 2 at Northtown Center in front

of a sell out crowd.

“The rivalry is real big. You try not to wrap your head around it too much because it can get a little crazy,” said St. Joe’s coach Rich Crozier.

“One of the special things about this rivalry, from a coach’s standpoint, is it brings back many former players.”

Those former Marauders in attendence were certainly treated to an exciting homecoming as senior Ben Higgins put on a goalkeeping clinic by turning away 20 of 21 shots he faced on the night. Trevor Conschafter sparked the offense as he scored twice for

the Marauders, who improved to 5-1 in league, 8-3 overall.

A predictably intense game, the two teams skated to a 1-1 tie after the first period. When the second period began, that’s when the flood gates opened.

Brendon Hurley netted the game-winner just 18 seconds into the second period to spark what would be a four-goal outburst that would chase Canisius goalie Jake Nichols from the net trailing 4-1.

Hurley would score off a picture-perfect pass from Jacob Colosanti when they broke into the Crusaders zone

on a two-on-zero rush.

Matt Santora got the lone goal for Canisius as the Crusaders dropped to 4-4-1 overall.

Efforts to reach Canisius for post game reaction were unsuccessful, as losing to its biggest rival was something the team did not want to talk about. Both schools understand that athletic contestst go a long way in not only raising school pride, but also serving as a tool to bring students to their own campus. Crozier said he and his team were just focused on winning a hockey game. But if that victory over

their top rival can have a positive ripple effect on the overall image of St.Joe’s, then the win means even more.

“From a school standpoint, it means a lot. You’ve got a bunch of kids making decisions,” Crozier said.

“I don’t like to think about it too much but some kids make decisions on the outcome of football, basketball and hockey games. We believe we have something great to offer young men. If we were able to do our part and influence some kids to make a decision then we are happy with that. It goes beyond

what it on the scoreboard.”

Looking ahead, both teams will be back in WNY Fed action at Buff State on Jan.11. Canisius will skate against Williamsville-North at 1 p.m. while St. Joe’s will face Timon at 3 p.m.

St. Joe’s will play Clarence Jan. 15 at Northtown (8 p.m.), Lancaster Jan. 18 at Buff State (1p.m.) and Timon again on Jan.19, this time at Northtown at (1 p.m.).

Canisius is looking at Orchard Park on Jan. 17 when they clash at 1 p.m. at Northtown Center.

Being 6 years old has not cramped my style... I love to play, be petted and brushed and I am very good with other kitties. So, if my age does not bother me, why would it bother you... older kitties are the best and I would like to prove it to you.

In the aftermath of the surprise November storm that crippled many communities, the Food Bank of Western New York will use a $50,000 donation from Wegmans, and funds from other donors designated toward disaster relief efforts, to procure and distribute food in areas hardest hit by the storm.

More than 30 member agencies were heavily impacted by the recent storm, including those in the areas of Cheektowaga, Lackawanna, Orchard Park, Silver Creek, Springville, South Buffalo and West Seneca. These funds will be used to replenish the shelves at the Food Bank and designated member agencies. Each agency will receive monies ranging from $1,600 for small agencies to $3,400 for large agencies to acquire food from the Food Bank and distribute it to local families in our community. Collectively, these member agencies distribute an average of 179,480 meals to 24,000 people each month.

During the height of the storm the Food Bank of WNY was called upon by New York State to deliver food to an agency in Lackawanna where members of the National Guard delivered packages of food to families in need. In an effort to assist the Food Bank in replenishing its supply of food, Governor Andrew Cuomo encouraged companies and residents to donate. HSBC Bank responded with a donation of $25,000 for disaster relief food and WKBW-TV 7 and the Scripps Howard Foundation donated $5,000 and created a 7 Cares for the Community campaign encouraging viewers to donate on line to the Food Bank or at any First Niagara Bank. First Niagara donated $2,500 and customers added more g in:

than $1,000 in donations. Citizens Bank also donated $3,000.

“We are grateful to all who donated to the disaster relief efforts and we are extremely grateful to Wegmans. They care, and it genuinely shows in their yearround commitment to our community,” said Marylou Borowiak, President and CEO of the Food Bank of WNY. “These monies will have a significant impact in assisting our local families in need.”

Darlene Sery of the Catholic Charities Food Pantries said, “We are grateful for the assistance we received from the Food Bank during the November storm. Their staff worked around the clock to get food to our agencies so we could distribute to our clients in need. Because of the hard work and the dedication of the Food Bank staff, we were able to provide our clients with food in a timely manner. We now thank them for this opportunity to restock our shelves.”

“This is such wonderful news,” added Linette Crelly of the Southern Tier Food Pantry at Trading Post in Springville.

“Hundreds of families in our service area who live paycheck to paycheck lost many days of work and pay due to the storm.

This is very difficult, especially during the holiday season. We have seen a much larger number of first time clients coming to us for help. This food will help us meet the growing number of clients we serve. We thank everyone for this donation.”

“What a blessing these disaster relief funds will be to our clients,” said Brent Doyle of the Southtowns Christian Center’s Feed My Sheep food pantry.

Conveniently located next to the University at Buffalo, off Millersport Hwy.
