ORCHARD PARK SUN EDITOR

There is a fair chance that you might have spread Mentholatum vaporizing rub over your chest, to fend off a bad cough. Maybe you or a female companion recently purchased a Softlips cube for extra lip protection during the dry cold weather. Perhaps you swear by Rohto eye-drops for red and irritated eyes. But did you know that the company responsible for these and many other household-name skin care

products is based right here in Orchard Park? The Mentholatum Company, which operates its North American headquarters on Sterling Drive off Milestrip Road, is today one of the top manufacturers of skin care products in the world. The company, along with its parent company, Japan-based Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., also manufacture Oxy acne medication, WellPatch, Natural Ice lip balm and Hada Labo Tokyo skin care products, among others.

But Jean Legros, Mentholatum’s senior director of marketing, notes that while the company has a strong presence in national retailers and consumers’ minds, they are still dwarfed by some of their competitors, particularly Proctor & Gamble Co., which manufactures the other iconic vapor rub, Vick’s. “Mentholatum competes with giants. It’s like David and Goliath,” said Legros, adding that Mentholatum also competes against the Fortune 500 corporation

Johnson & Johnson. However, the company has staked out a position in both the American and international markets through what Legros calls unique, top-quality skin care products. He says the company is in a strong position for growth; their goal is to double their revenue in the next five years. With this goal in mind, Mentholatum launched two new, innovative products in the last year. The first, the Softlips Cube, promises effective, sooth-

ing lip care, and comes in a sleek, trendy design, aimed particularly for the female market. The other is a Nighttime variant of its original vapor rub, with “naturally soothing lavender” to provide gentler cough relief. “We generally pride ourselves in the passion and the quality of our people to help us develop, produce and market all out of here in Orchard Park,” Legros said. “You talk about Buffalo (as} an AllAmerica City; I like to

think that Mentholatum is one of these All-American brands. The Mentholatum Company was founded in 1889 by Albert Alexander Hyde, an early purveyor of the medicinal and topical benefits of menthol. Developing the vapor rub recipe which the company still uses today, he founded a partnership called The Yucca Company in Wichita, Kan.

Inside Sales Representatives By 1906, the company changed its name to The Mentholatum Company, following the success of the original Mentholatum Ointment, and had opened an office in Buffalo. Several years later, in 1919, the company opened a factory on Niagara Street in Buffalo. The company found early success by marketing heavily in East Asia; they began selling to Japan in 1913 and today manufacture several of the leading skin care products the region. In 1975, Rohto Pharmaceutical Company became Mentholatum’s licensee, and in ’88, Rohto purchased Mentholatum. Legros says the two companies “realized (they) had synergies.” Throughout the ’90s, Rohto and Mentholatum began to market a number of innovative new skin care products and opened new factories in the U.K.,

Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and elsewhere. The company continued to expand its product line throughout the Aughts, and are now anticipating sales of $500 million in 2015. Mentholatum moved to its current location at 707 Sterling Drive in 1997. There they manufacture and package a number of their popular products. The location also serves

as their North American headquarters. And yet, despite manufacturing so many leading and trusted skin care products, Legros still feels as though Mentholatum’s presence goes unknown by most Buffalonians. “Some people know about Mentholatum, but our presence and the knowledge of our presence has been a little bit subdued,” Legros said. Legros pointed out that Mentholatum does much of its sampling locally, and donates to a number of local charities, including the Roycroft Campus

Corporation, the Buffalo Zoo, the Food Bank of WNY and the Conners Children Center. The company also employs close to 200 residents, and they expect to create more jobs as they grow. Legros says they appreciate the local support, and very much like their home in the Buffalo region. “Buffalonians are very loyal to products that are made locally, and tend to make an effort to support local products,” Legros said. “As much as we support our local charities, we appreciate the support of Buffalonians.”

Red Cross calls for blood donors as unique as the patients they help In honor of Black History Month this February, and in the spirit of Dr. Charles Drew, an African-American surgeon who was the first medical director of the American Red Cross and a modern blood-banking pioneer, eligible donors as diverse as the patients who need their blood donations are encouraged to give blood to ensure a sufficient blood supply. Blood from a donor with a similar ethnic background as that of the patient is less likely to cause complications, particularly for those patients whose chronic conditions require repeated transfusions. Sickle cell disease is one such chronic condition affecting as many as 100,000 people in the United States. Prior to transfusion, blood type and Rh factor are matched between donated

blood and the patient in need. In some cases, additional red cell markers in donated blood must be matched, as well. These markers are best found in blood from donors of a similar ethnicity. With seasonal flu and inclement winter weather preventing many regular donors from giving, the Red Cross urges healthy, eligible donors to make an appointment to donate blood in the coming days and weeks. All blood types are currently needed to help maintain a diverse and sufficient blood supply, especially types O negative, A negative and B negative. To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). REDLINSKI’S

Daemen recieves prestigious classification

Daemen College holds Scholar’s Day A record number of high school seniors will compete for Daemen College academic scholarships, including the institution’s prestigious Trustee Scholarships, at the 11th annual Scholar’s Day taking place on Feb. 7. More than 230 highachieving students from across New York State will be in attendance, along with students from Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, as well as an international student from Vietnam who will attend via Skype. To be considered for the

scholarships, prospective first-year students must be accepted into the college and nominated by Daemen’s Trustee Committee and then may apply for the awards. Students attending Scholar’s Day will be interviewed on campus by Daemen faculty, staff and alumni and area high school counselors. “Students select a college based on its academic reputation and our Trustee Scholarships provide students the opportunity to receive an excellent, affordable education at Daemen,” said Dr. Patricia Brown, vice president for enrollment management. “College is the single best

investment a student will make in their life and those attending Scholar’s Day recognize the value of a Daemen education.” According to Brown, of the first-year students who attend Scholar’s Day and enroll at Daemen, 3 percent are Trustee Scholars and 82 percent receive President’s and Dean’s Scholarships, the college’s highest merit awards. Trustee Scholarships range from full tuition (approximately $100,000 over four years), to $17,000 ($68,000 over four years), and $13,000-$14,000 ($52,000 and $56,000 over four years). Selection is based

on academic achievement; vision for self and society; enthusiasm and inspiration; academic and personal discipline; and leadership ability. Both intellect and character are considered and selected scholars are those who have the potential to make a difference in their careers and in the Daemen community. “Daemen faculty, staff and alumni play a key role in conducting Scholar’s Day interviews, which is an important component in the selection process and recognizing the special achievements of these outstanding first-year students,” said Brown.

Over the past decade, Daemen has established 35 local and global service learning partnerships. What’s more, in 201314, almost 500 students from the college engaged in more than 25,000 total hours of service-learning and community-service initiatives. The Carnegie classification, which is effective for the next decade, follows Daemen recently being named for the seventh consecutive year to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

He was cut from the JV hockey team his freshman year, but Nick Peters didn’t give up there. He worked hard to earn a spot on the JV team the following year. He started on the fourth line, so he didn’t see much playing time. But with even more hard work, Peters worked his way up to the first line and then to the varsity team. Now, Peters plays on the fourth line for Williamsville North’s varsity hockey team. And while he doesn’t see as much ice time as some of his teammates, Peters’ coaches appreciate him for the hard work he puts in every day and the things he does in games that

By Melissa Brawdy SPORTS REPORTER

Clarence and Williamsville North took similar records into Sunday night’s (Jan. 25) hockey game at the HarborCenter in downtown Buffalo, so it was no surprise when the game carried into overtime. North ended up the 3-2 overtime winner, but both teams were able to take away positives. North coach Bob Rosen saw contributions from several players in a game in which his

may not show up on a score sheet but shift the momentum of the game in ways that other players can’t. Peters has been playing some sort of hockey since the age of 4, and he wasn’t about to give up after a couple setbacks. His hard work has made him the player he is today, and he’s learned to simplify his game and play to his strengths. He spoke of getting cut from the JV team and how that motivated him. “It was really tough for me, so over the summer I worked out, tried to get in a lot better shape so I could be better on the ice,” Peters said. “I moved my way up to the first line just by coming to practice every day and working hard on the things that I wasn’t as good at, and I made them my strengths, and I kind of played to my strengths. Like I’d keep it simple.” When he’s on the ice, Peters keeps his game simple. His creates scoring opportunities. goal is to do whatever he can “I’m pretty big, I’m low to to shift the momentum in his the ground, so I’m strong on the team’s favor.

team did the little things right in order to win. “We got a lot of contributions from a lot of lines, a lot of players, and for us to be successful we need that,” Rosen said. “As well as we played, it comes down to doing little things well.” North was able to kill off four and a half minutes worth of penalties in the first period, and then the Spartans did not take a penalty the rest of the game. Josh Surowiec scored a few minutes into the second period, assisted by Juul Tanner, to give North a 1-0 lead. Clarence’s

Josh Slowinski tied the game at 1 with just 1:20 remaining in the period. Just one minute into the third, North’s Matthew Terrance gave the Spartans the lead again, with Tanner picking up another assist, but Clarence’s Nick Amodio tied the game back up at one three minutes later. The 2-2 tie lasted until the end of regulation, sending the game into overtime. Terrance scored again for North just 1:28 into overtime to give the Spartans the win. Strong goaltending was seen on both sides of the rink by Clarence’s Anthony Campi-

one and North’s Nick Stafford. Clarence was coming off a 4-3 loss the night before in which the Red Devils blew a 3-1 lead to lose the game. Clarence coach Richard Brooks was curious to see how that would affect his team as it went into Sunday’s game. He liked what he saw and gave credit to captain Josh Slowinski as well as a few other more experienced players. “North is always a good team, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect from our kids because if they were hanging their heads from yesterday,

scoring opportunities.” Williamsville North coach Bob Rosen is thankful to have a player like Nick Peters on his team. He couldn’t say enough about Peters’ work ethic and the things he does that aren’t always noticed by spectators but influence the game in a major way. “Not everything always shows up on the score sheet for you to win a hockey game,” Rosen said. “And little things like chipping pucks to space and winning faceoffs, banging teams is a huge asset for us and greatly appreciated by coaches. And Nick does a wonderful job. He comes and works hard every day, and where he was two years ago and where he is now is a huge compliment to Nick and how hard he works and the attitude he brings in day in and day out.” Peters is also a leader on and off the ice. Not only does he lead by example with his strong work ethic, but he’s always ready to encourage his teammates when needed

as well. “I try to be a leader by my actions, do the right things,” Peters said. “If one of the younger kids is having a tough day, I’ll try to bring him up, stuff like that.” As a senior this year, Peters isn’t sure yet how much hockey is in his future. Depending on where he goes to college, he might try to join a club team. “I do like the game, and I want to keep playing,” Peters said. Peters’ playing style, along with his physical appearance, draws comparisons to the Sabres’ Patrick Kaleta. Kaleta is another player who works hard and does whatever he can to help his team. Peters’ grandfather initiated those comparisons. “My grandpa always compares me to Kaleta, especially now because I have the beard,” Peters said with a laugh. “Just because of the intensity, working hard, banging bodies. I may not be the best skilled player, but I go out there and you can tell that I’m making a difference.”

they would have lost this game in the first period,” Brooks said. “But they didn’t. Much of that is attributable to some of the older guys showing some leadership. Obviously Josh Slowinski always shows leadership, but some other guys stepped it up.” Randy Felber and Andrew Kempton had to adjust to playing slightly different roles on new lines, and both handled it well. Eric Grupp also showed the leadership that Brooks has come to expect this season. As for North, Rosen was happy with the win but hopes

to see continued improvement from his team. The team has six regular season games left and one guaranteed playoff game. “I want to have more than that,” Rosen said. He and his team also learned on Sunday how a play here or a bounce there can often be the difference between a win or a loss, especially in overtime. “You get into overtime, anything can happen,” Rosen said. “Crazy bounces. I’ve won games that I shouldn’t have and lost games that I shouldn’t have.”

Local sports Will East hockey edges out 1-0 win over West Seneca West

By Melissa Brawdy SPORTS REPORTER

It was a highly physical game for Williamsville East and West Seneca West on Monday night (Jan. 26), but it was not a high-scoring game. East scored the only goal of the night to win the contest 1-0. Mike Steffan’s team-leading 11th goal of the season gave East the lead just a few minutes into the first period. For the rest of the game, it was all about defense on both sides. And, of course, physicality. Both the Flames and Indians delivered some heavy hits through the rest of the game.

The third period contained more physical play and more penalties on both sides. With 3:39 left to play in regulation and one West Seneca West player already in the box, the Indians took another penalty to give the Flames the fiveon-three advantage. But instead of capitalizing on that chance, East took a double-minor penalty just 17 seconds later. The four minutes to be served was more time than was left in regulation, and East found itself on the penalty kill in order to maintain the 1-0 lead and come out victorious. They did just enough to kill the penalty, and despite some missed chances, Torrillo was happy with the way his team finished out the game. “I thought we had some chances, missed a few, but I thought they did a good job to close out the game, especially

East paid for it with a couple penalties in the second period. And with just under two minutes left in the second, a West Seneca West player and an East player had to be separated after exchanging a few words and shoves. East coach Mike Torrillo was impressed with his team’s effort and how hard they played. Every player had a decent amount of ice time, and they all stepped up defensively. The Indians have two players with double digits in points, and both were kept scoreless, along with the rest of the team. “I thought the kids played hard,” Torrillo said. “I was very impressed with the effort all the way through the ranks. We played a lot of kids today. We shut down a couple of their good players that have been scoring a lot of points, and I thought we did a nice job.”

with the four-minute penalty at the end,” Torrillo said. Goaltending was also key for both teams tonight, but especially for the Flames. East goaltender Max Battistoni had an impressive game, making 26 saves to get the shutout. It was Battistoni’s second shutout of the season. “I thought our goalie probably played his best game of the year,” Torrillo said. And then the story came back to the Flames’ defense. They limited the Indians’ chances, and Torrillo said that all comes from how hard his team worked Tuesday night. “We really didn’t give them a real good scoring chance,” Torrillo said. “I thought we pressured them pretty good, and that’s just hard work.” It was East’s ninth win of the season, improving its record to 9-0-0-1. The Flames have yet to lose in regulation.

attention, and games between the rivals are becoming more anticipated each season. The last 10 years or so have been a sort of Ground Zero for the local hockey programs. After playing at the Division III level since 1980, Canisius moved to Division I competition in 1998, one season after Niagara established its Division I program. In 2003, the schools were joint hosts of the NCAA Frozen Four, setting in motion a flurry of activity which helped grow each program. Canisius became a charter member of Atlantic Hockey when the league formed for the 2003-04 season. Niagara remained a member of College HockeyAmerica until 2009-10, but still often had Canisius on

its schedule. When the Purple Eagles joined Atlantic Hockey for the 2010-11 campaign, it accelerated the importance of games against Canisius and helped foster the natural rivalry. Last weekend, the teams met twice at Dwyer Arena, where Canisius swept the games by 4-1 and 6-4 scores. The results were consistent with each team’s recent play: Canisius (12-8-6, 11-4-5 in Atlantic Hockey) extended its undefeated streak to seven games (6-0-1), its longest stretch since 2000-01, while Niagara (3-19-2, 3-13-2) dropped its sixth straight and has not won in 12 contests (0-10-2). Even though the schools are trending in opposite directions this season, the rivalry has had

its share of significant games in recent years. The schools met in the first round of the 2011 Atlantic Hockey tournament, with Canisius coming out victorious. In February 2013, the teams split a pair of games when Niagara was ranked #15 in the nation. The Purple Eagles held that same ranking a few weeks later, when the Golden Griffins scored a 5-3 win in a head-t0-head matchup in the Atlantic Hockey semifinal; Canisius went on to the NCAA Tournament, where it lost to Quinnipiac in the first round. Last weekend, the games drew decent crowds of 1,013 and 1,302 on the Niagara campus, where capacity is about 1,400. It’s easy to anticipate

potential sellouts of 2,000 when the teams eventually play each other in Canisius’new Harborcenter home next season. To boot, Niagara could turn its fortunes around soon. Before this year, it has never suffered consecutive sub-.500 seasons as a Division I program, so a quick rebound wouldn’t be surprising. Canisius is on the upswing, bolstered by a home facility it can call its own. Once the schools establish equal footing on the ice, there’s no telling how intense the rivalry will become. Who knows? It could even move beyond the traditional one we’ve seen on a wooden floor for decades.

their fans at their longest-running show, the annual Valentine’s Day show, which has lasted as long as the group’s existence. This proves to be a great opportunity for everyone to a great representation of the group through the years, and the evolution of the sound of collegiate-style a cappella. The Buffalo Chips began as an entrepreneurial pursuit in 1995 as a selfsustained, unsponsored student-run organization at The University at Buffalo. They started & continue to perform music in the style of “Pentatonix” and “Straight No Chaser.” Since then, the group has become a University mainstay, representing the “UB” at numerous functions both locally and nationally, including performing for the President of the United States, Barrack Obama, during his visit to Buffalo in August of 2013. They have also competed numerous times in the International Championship

of Collegiate A Capella (ICCA’s), winning back-to-back Mid-Atlantic Championships in 2011 & 2012 and appearing in New York City at those competition finals. Their recently recorded tenth full-length album, “Blue & White,” was released in February 2013, and is available now for purchase in both CD & downloadable formats. For inquiries on this show, to schedule interviews, or for more ticket information, please contact Ron Veiders, Alumni Association Board Member, by phone at 716510-3097, or email at rveiders@gmail.com.

Daemen’s economic impact on reaches nearly $132 million Daemen College’s economic impact on the Buffalo Niagara region in 2013 reached nearly $132 million, representing a $17 million increase for the Amherstbased institution, according to a new study released today, Jan. 15, by the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (CICU). “This substantial figure illustrates Daemen plays a key role in the region’s economic vitality and has emerged as a significant contributor to Western New York’s long-term economic well-being,” said Daemen President Gary A. Olson. “For almost 70 years, Daemen has been actively engaged in this area and we will continue our commitment to growing and thriving with the community.” The college’s economic boost in WNY translates into over $3.47 million in tax revenue. Students and visitors generated $26.2 million in economic activity. As a contributor to economic growth through job creation and retention, in 2013-14, Daemen invested more in its workforce with the addition of several newly created full-time positions and increased the number of new full-time hires compared to the previous year. In the past year alone, the college has expanded academic offerings to now include a master of public health and a master’s degree in social work, among other enhancements at the college. Daemen has also opened the doors to a

new nearly $2 million state-of-the–art visual effects facility, a major milestone in a Buffalo Billion project. Along with its direct economic impact, Daemen’s presence in regional and international communities has been extensive, for which the college was recently recognized as one of the elite group of institutions nationwide to receive the 2015 Carnegie Community Engagement Classification. In 2013-14, almost 500 Daemen students engaged in more than 25,000 total hours of service-learning and community-service initiatives. Over the past decade, the college has established 35 local and global service learning partnerships. The study, which was conducted by the Center for Governmental Research, clearly confirms that private institutions are a major economic industry in the state and have realized a striking increase in the sector’s overall economic impact. In 2013, private colleges and universities contributed a combined $74.3 billion to the state’s economy. This figure represents an $11 billion increase since 2011. As CICU pointed out, private campuses in New York “create jobs and act as ‘anchor’ tenants in communities across the state. These colleges and universities are major employers, purchasers of goods and services, and builders.”

Sampson Needs Some Shade

The WNY STEM Hub, a volunteermanaged organization that encourages science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning and workforce development, has reached a milestone agreement to partner with the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County. Under this agreement, the United Way will serve as the WNY STEM Hubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiduciary sponsor to assist with managing donations and supporting fundraising, grants, and other partnerships. The New York State Center for Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences at the University at Buffalo will continue its primary role as the WNY STEM Hubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled to be under the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s umbrella,â&#x20AC;? says WNY STEM Hub president Michelle Kavanaugh, Ed.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the WNY STEM Hub continues to grow as an organization, our needs are growing, too. Working under the auspices of the United Way will allow the Hub to actively raise support for our goal to link entities across all sectors of our community in order to inspire students and fulfill the growing STEM-oriented workforce needs in our region. This level of collaboration in developing a talented pipeline is essential to our long-term health and success as a region.â&#x20AC;? United Way leaders say this partnership meets another critical need in our region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Way is proud to partner with WNY STEM Hub to promote STEM education in Western New York; its collaborative,

interdisciplinary mission and focus on this critical field make it a natural fit,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Weiner, president and CEO of United Way of Buffalo & Erie County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in education is focused on helping children and youth achieve academic and personal success, and STEM is a key component of quality education that prepares youth for the future. Quality STEM programming will help ensure that employers in our growing economy can source skilled local talent - and also ensure that more of our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent can enjoy the full benefits of our local renaissance.â&#x20AC;? This partnership is an important step as the WNY STEM Hub enters its second year. In its first year, membership in the organization grew to nearly 300 members representing schools, school districts, higher education, and aligned businesses and organizations. A website (wnystem.org) was developed as a gift inkind by M&T Bank. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first major initiative â&#x20AC;&#x201C; STEM/STEAM (adding the arts to STEM learning) Week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; began with a series of events in May, 2014. In September, Siemens came on board as a major Hub sponsor and partnered with the Hub to recognize 29 Emerging STEM School Systems for their innovations in STEM learning. The WNY STEM Hub of the Empire State STEM Learning Network facilitates collaboration among business, education, community organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and government

entities to advance the interdisciplinary teaching and learning of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics in support of sustained economic and intellectual vitality in our five-county region. Launched in late 2013, WNY STEM Hub members represent business, education, informal learning networks and professional organizations with the collective goal to reduce the current STEM skills gap in this region. As our regional economy evolves, the need for STEM jobs at all levels is expected to increase. In the coming year, the WNY STEM Hubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals include the development of the WNY STEM Trail starting in Lewiston, NY, hosting another STEM/ STEAM Week, and adding a number of additional programs and services to support best practices in STEM learning and promote STEM careers. Kavanaugh continues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inviting more collaborative partners to share their strengths is the key to the STEM Hubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision that Western New York will be an economically and intellectually thriving region with an innovative workforce created through interdisciplinary STEM collaboration.â&#x20AC;?

Wild giraffes who roam the African Savannah thrive there because of the warm temperatures, water, food, sun, and shade.The Buffalo Zoo is committed to providing the same type of environment for their giraffe population, whose newest member, Sampson, will be experiencing all kinds of FOLPDWH FKDQJH LQ KLV Ă&#x20AC;UVW year of life. As part of continued improvements to the zoo, there are plans to build a shade structure. Giraffes already have use of an enclosed structure, as well as a large giraffe yard of approximately one-half acre. However, during the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accreditation process in 2011, it was noted that there was little to no outdoor shade. The Association of Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Aquariums (AZA) requested that a shade structure be built to help keep the animals cool and out of the direct sunlight of the summer months. In order to achieve reaccreditation, the Buffalo Zoo needs to install this structure before 2016. Community Papers of WNY, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, and Towne MINI share a commitment to our community and are partnering together to help. You may have noticed several billboards throughout the Buffalo metropolitan area introducing Sampson to his hometown, along with featured articles in all of CPOWNYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community newspapers. Sampson also graced the cover of WNY Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s January 2015 edition. Our goal is to bring awareness to the zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservation efforts, the need
