Reenergized East upends West in regular-season finale By Mike Petro SPORTS REPORTER
Since a seven-point loss to South Park which cost it a Class A South division title, West Seneca East has been a focused football team. It certainly showed in the
regular season finale against outmatched rival West Seneca West. The Trojans won their third straight game since the loss in a commanding 50-0 victory Friday night at home against the Indians. East enters the playoffs next week as the second seed from A South and will host a quarterfinal contest after
a 6-1 regular season. South Park repeated as division champions. “It was obviously disappointing to loss to South Park and come in second but since that, I think it’s really reenergized us and we’ve been on a roll ever since,” West Seneca East head coach Jim Maurino said. “We’re headed into the
playoffs with a home game; hopefully, we can pack this place again and come out with a win.” West, which still leads the all-time series 25-20, usually plays its rival tough but it was not to be this year. The 0-7 Indians, who are looking for their first win since the 2012 season, could manage only
three first downs in the loss. It was East’s third straight victory in the rivalry game. “It’s pretty nice to win the rivalry game because we live around the corner and down the street from each other and we see them every day, so it’s good to have bragging rights,” said East running back Ray Johnson. “We’ve
Lady Chiefs play into Class A prequarters, lose to second-seeded Williamsville East By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Junior Autumn Terhart finished the season with six goals and four assists.
Prior to Monday’s (Oct. 20) Section VI Class A playin game against Sweet Home, Ric Weber recited the common sports expression that it is tough to beat a team three times in one season to his Iroquois girls soccer team. He didn’t want his squad taking the Panthers lightly after it defeated them in both of their meetings during ECIC II play. The Lady Chiefs didn’t. They won that third matchup, 6-0, at home on the strength of a Sam Carey hat trick to enter the prequarterfinals, where it was a reverse viewpoint for Iroquois. It took on unbeaten Williamsville East, which defeated the Lady Chiefs twice in the regular season, Tuesday afternoon (Oct. 21) at Maple East Elementary.
The Flames, too, ensured they didn’t fall victim to underestimation, as leading scorer Marissa Birzon netted three goals to pace secondseeded Will. East to a 4-0 victory over No. 15 Iroquois. “With team goals, Williamsville East is always one of those teams we want to beat,” said Weber, whose team finished 6-11-1. “We had a third crack at it. Williamsville East is very good but in sports it’s hard to beat any team three times in a season. You have to be ready to go.” Against Sweet Home (2-14-1), Autumn Terhart assisted on two of Carey’s goals and scored one of her own in the 74th minute. Colleen Wirth chipped in two assists for the Lady Chiefs while Kim Buehlmann (three saves) and Paige Dobrzynski (five saves) split the game in half for the combined shutout.
been playing with a chip on our shoulder, really trying to get back in there and be that No. 1 team from the South again.”

Weber took some solace in the way the year ended because of the triumph to get into the round of 16. It piled a positive onto the playoff defeat, and gave six seniors — Kailah Andersen, Sam Wagner, Haley Abraszek, Mary Landahl, Calista Mis and Wirth — one final home game. “It was nice,” Weber said. “The kids got rewarded for their efforts. They have been short on rewards this year. They came out relaxed and ready and they played a nice team game. Everybody played and contributed. It was nice for the seniors to be able to walk off the home field for the last time with a win.”

Legend visits Elma’s STA
Stephen Gosciak started the scoring for Cheektowaga (5-11, 5-7 ECIC II) in the fifth minute. Goalkeeper Anthony Grabp booted the ball past midfield up to Gosciak, who got behind the defense, for the assist. But the Trojans gained traction after that. They progressively accumulated more possession of the ball, a style led by midfielders Mike Zielinski, Chase Sorrentino and Aaron Nowak, who also assisted on the first goal. The Trojans were rewarded in the 61st minute. Spaschak struck a corner kick that went right to Andrew Garbacz, and he made no mistake in tying the game at 1. “We were able to move the ball probably better than we have all year,” Joe Sorrentino said. “I am very proud of the team for the way it played.”
Garbacz made a similarly significant play in the final seconds of regulation. Cheektowaga’s Rodrigue N’Sapu had an open left side of the net to shoot at from a couple yards out, but Garbacz slid to make a game-saving stop and force golden-goal extra time. Joe Sorrentino lauded Garbacz, Richard Wagner, Dave Kocieniewski and Andrew Wolf for their outings on the backline. Derek Tabaczynski was strong between the pipes for East. The Trojans advanced to quarterfinals, where they played at third-seeded LewPort Wednesday night (Oct. 22), losing to the Lancers, 6-0. Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Louie Simmons, center, was at STA Sports Performance in Elma on Oct. 11. By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER
The reputation of STA Sports Performance has grown strong to the point that the owner of “The World’s Strongest Gym” paid a visit. Louie Simmons, the renowned strength and sports training coach who runs Westside Barbell in Columbus, Ohio, appeared at the Elma elite training facility Oct. 11 to host a seminar on the techniques and tactics he has initiated and introduced to the world. The appearance of Simmons, who rarely travels for occasions such as these, was special to STA. Owner Ben Woods, who runs the facility located on the campus of Sahlen’s Sports Park on Seneca Street with his wife, Chelsea, and his staff of four other coaches, applies the systems Simmons was instrumental in popularizing to his clientele. And his customer list is quite extensive. STA trains dozens of professional athletes — NFL, CFL, MLB and U.S. women’s national soccer players included — all the way down through collegiate, varsity, JV, modified and youth athletes. “Everything we do is results-based, results-driven,” Ben Woods said. “Our methods, I feel, are superior. The way we train our athletes is the same way we train our coaches and ourselves because I feel it is the best method for training. Hence the reason why we had Louie Simmons come out and talk. He is the pioneer of a lot of these methods.” In all, thousands have walked through the doors of STA just in the last 28 months. STA opened in June 2012, growing out of a 700-square foot building space on Olean Road in East Aurora by October of that year, when it graduated to the training center inside Sahlen’s. Woods’ working area has stretched considerably, as the facility is now 4,500 square feet. And with the expansion, STA has established a high amount of deference in the training industry. So much, in fact, that Simmons, who has written hundreds of ar-
ticles, hosts webinars and houses the strongest male and female lifters in the world at Westside Barbell, made a rare trip outside Columbus to share his acumen at STA. The six-hour seminar, which had around 50 attendees, saw Simmons speak in lecture format for the first half. He talked about the processes he endorses to get bigger, faster and more explosive, answered questions and broke common myths associated with strength training. After a lunch break Simmons got even more interactive, educating the audience on proper squatting, deadlifting and benching techniques. He also taught the appropriate ways to use conditioning equipment, like sleds. “It was an awesome turnout,” said Woods, who said DI, II and III coaches took in the session, in addition to a Buffalo Bills’ strength and conditioning coach, high school coaches, gym owners, lifters and collegiate and high school athletes. “We covered a lot of different topics in training and strength and conditioning.” Woods received a positive, vibrant reaction from Simmons’ appointment at STA. Many savored the scarcest of opportunities within the training realm, going home with tangible and inner keepsakes in the form of shaking Simmons’ hand and posing for photos with him. “Every single person that I talked to about the seminar absolutely loved it,” Woods said. “Just being in the same room as Louie was such a cool thing for so many people. They soaked in the information. It’s one of those things where he talks and you have to rewind it five different times just to hear every little point he made because there was so much valuable insight.” Among the individuals in awe, topping the list may have been Woods. His center has become prominent to the point that, in just a short time period, a worldfamous strength coach thought a jaunt there would be worthwhile. It certainly was for Woods. The prestige of STA was put on the map as pro stars began piling in to receive the “triangle of
domination” routine — receiving physical training, comprehensive nutrition tips and the mental fortitude needed for a great attitude — that Woods advocates. Abby Wambach, the all-time leading goal scorer in U.S. women’s soccer history, former UB football players James Starks and Naaman Roosevelt of the NFL and Drew Willy of the CFL and conference champion sprinter at Kent State, Wayne Gordon, a Sweet Home grad, have all, or still do, work out at STA. It’s been part of Woods’ lifelong dream. He has involved himself with training since a young age. Woods would use the exercise machines and weights in the home gym his father set up in the basement of his childhood home on a daily basis. His grandmother bought him a training book when he was 12 years old. Growing up in an athletic family — two of his sisters received DI track scholarships — Woods himself made an impression in sports. From 2004-08 he attended UB, where he earned a degree in human performance and exercise science while starting 46 straight games as a punter and kickoff specialist on the football team. He spent time in training camp with the Cleveland Browns, too. Woods prioritizes individualization with each of his clients, who collect one-on-one attention from coaches. That produces the results he strives for, and brought a legend to his neck of the woods. It was a fitting setting for Simmons to be in. “You read all about him,” Woods said. “You read all his training articles, you read all of his info and insight and interviews in magazines that when you actually meet him in person you are star struck as an individual. This guy lives what he does, lives what he preaches. Everything is resultsbased with him.” STA offers its service to anyone, and can be reached at (716) 544-4824 or by email at stasportsperformance@gmail.com. Twitter: @Garland_SUN
The Trojans leaned on their junior backfield of Johnson and John Dolac, with a little help from seniors Tyler Skretny and Brandon Day. East compiled nearly 400 yards rushing, as Johnson led the way with 160 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries and Dolac added 105 yards and a pair of scores on 17 carries. “They’ve been huge for us all year,” Maurino said of Johnson and Dolac. “They’ve taken turns stepping up. Ray ran very well tonight. John didn’t run as much because he got a little banged up early in the game, but when that happens we’re not out of luck. Skrets and Day can run the ball, too. As far as depth-wise, it’s huge to have those guys to go to when you need them.” The play of the juniors has allowed Day to move to the outside and become a threat at wide receiver, Maurino said. Skretny, who lines up in both spots as well, also had an interception playing in the defensive backfield. Both Day and Skretny added touchdown runs, while big fullback Tony Wagner also notched a short score on the ground. Day kicked six of seven extra points. “We found some open holes and the lineman blocked real well,” said Johnson. “We’ve got a good combination of power (Dolac and Skretny) and speed (himself and Day)
in the backfield. We like to work that a lot.” The offensive line was led by its tackles — 6-foot-6, 295-pound Evin Ksiezarczyk, who has multiple Division I offers, and fellow senior Brian Slisz, who added a blocked punt that went for an East safety. “Being able to run behind Evin is huge,” Maurino said. “I told our four or five backs that we have, ‘I’d love to run behind the line that you guys get to run behind.’ It’s really nice for them.” Defensively, the Trojans, led by assistant coach Paul Gregoire, have allowed the least points in Class A at 54 in seven games. East took a 27-0 lead into halftime Friday on the way to its first shutout this season. Alex Fleming, Wagner and Dolac each added a sack for East. In the final minutes of the game, West drove down to the East goaline but on third and goal fumbled the ball, epitomizing the sour night for the Indians. It took until five minutes were left in the second quarter for West to record its initial first down and until about five minutes left in the game for the offense to reach East’s side of the field. “That speaks to what we’ve been able to do,” Maurino said. “We gameplan very well and the kids flow to the ball and tackle well.” West senior Sean Kline
recorded an interception on defense and after coming into the game to play quarterback in relief, completed two long late-game passes, one each to Jack Meyers and Matt Haettich. Aaron Harm led the running game and was also strong on defense at linebacker in the loss. East saved its homecoming celebration for the rivalry game in Week Seven and took full advantage of the moment. A packed house witnessed pre-game and halftime fireworks and received a light show after all seven Trojans’ touchdowns. “It’s a game that we really look forward to every year,” Maurino said. “One of the traditions that we have is every other year, when it’s our home game, we’re going to make it our homecoming. I think it really adds an element to it and it was a great atmosphere. We were really happy to see the kids come out and play hard. It was a great tune-up for the playoffs.” East plays North Tonawanda, the No. 3 seed from A North, in the Section VI Class A quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Friday (Oct. 24) at home. The Trojans’ defense will have a stiff task in containing Lumberjacks’ quarterback Chris Woodard, who has 1,157 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns on the ground. The senior also has 481 yards and three scores through the air.
Kloc rushes for 306, breaks record In addition to West Seneca East defeating West Seneca West, 50-0, in Week Seven, the Iroquois football team downed Lake Shore, 43-12, Friday (Oct. 17) at home in its senior game. While 29 seniors were honored, it was one of them who stole the show. Matt Kloc broke the school’s singlegame rushing record with 306 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries. The running back gutted the opposition all year. He finishes the seven-game regular season with 195 carries for 1,260 yards and 12 touchdowns. Andrew Schaefer had a 23-yard touchdown reception
from Kyle Seifert, who was 5 of 10 for 75 yards with the score and an interception. Henry Gunner keyed Iroquois’ defensive effort with a team-high 14 tackles, two of which went for a loss, and a forced fumble. Zach Emer (13 tackles, sack), Ben Simon (12 tackles, forced fumble) and Coyote Sokolski (eight tackles, two sacks) pitched in nicely, as well. Along the defensive line Nathan Emer recorded six tackles and a sack. Also for the Chiefs, Morgan Mariacher recovered a pair of fumbles, one of which he returned for a touchdown. Jake Quinn and Jared Gasz scooped
up fumbles, too. Iroquois (4-3, 3-3 Class A South) finished fifth in its division and missed out on the postseason. It lost the tiebreaker with McKinley, which beat the Chiefs earlier this season, for the league’s fourth and final sectional seed. Instead of playing for a sectional title, the Chiefs enter the four-team Class A Chuck Funke Memorial Classic. They will do battle with A North’s sixth-place finisher, Riverside, in one of the semifinals at 7 p.m. Friday (Oct. 24) at home. The winner will take on the victor of Grand Island versus Hutch Tech in the finals.

Her breakout tions weren’t finalized by press campaign has West enjoying its time — giving them home-field best year under Ruchalski, as it advantage in the Section VI finished the regular season 7-9. Class A quarterfinals. It could It’s the most victories the help them get over their recent Lady Indians have earned with playoff block. They haven’t been Ruchalski. They are set to host triumphant in sectionals, which a playoff game next week for begin the week of Oct. 27, in at the first time in at least eight least their last seven tries. “We believe that we can win years, too. Ziemba, a forward in her sec- a playoff game and we are deond year on the team, has played termined that we will,” Ziemba By Aaron Garland
said. “We have faith.” An unrelenting style near the net elicits most of Ziemba’s goals. Ruchalski noted this is also the hardest working team she’s had, and Ziemba exemplifies that. She rarely scores from long-range — her execution stems from pure effort. “I pressure the goalie a lot,” Ziemba said. “I always go after the goalie if she is about to kick the ball or if there is a defender in front of the ball I always pressure her. Then it’s usually just a little push into the net.” As for the overall team quest, Ruchalski noted the aim is winning a postseason contest in the six-team Class A tournament. West’s play versus fellow A schools during the regular season is a promising sign that elusive postseason win may come. It has defeated Lancaster, Orchard Park and Clarence.
The lone league opponent on its schedule it didn’t defeat was Williamsville North, which trounced the Lady Indians out of sectionals in 2013, a season in which they went 3-12-2. “I am really looking forward to playoffs because since I have been here we haven’t won a playoff game,” Ruchalski said. “We have been in the playoff games — they have been close. We had an overtime loss once, had a 1-0 loss once. This year we have really high hopes. I am excited. I think we can pull off a win.” It’s been a marked improvement from 2013 to this season. There is a core group that has been playing on varsity together for two years now. Senior co-captains Brooke Altman (two assists) and Kim Miller (five goals, one assist) are in their third and second years,
respectively. Junior Cassie Farr, like Ziemba, began playing as a freshman, and has three goals and five assists. Junior MorganAltman was on the squad as a sophomore and has five points in 2014 (2+3). They, and Ziemba, comprise the foundation of the offense, as the rapport they have developed helps drive their output. “My whole forward line is extremely strong and obviously Katie leads it,” Ruchalski said. “They are going to be huge when we get into playoffs. Those girls kind of hold it together. Everybody knows who is going to be where. I have never seen that happen with my girls, and they are passing it right where they are supposed to.” West has received solid goaltending from an unlikely source. The slated starter in net quit the team early in train-
ing camp, prompting Angela Johnson to slide back from her right midfield position for most games. The senior, who had no extensive experience as a goalie, has a .725 save percentage in 425 minutes played. Sophomore Stacy Baxter receives time between the pipes, too. “I knew we were really good, but then when I lost my goalie I was like ‘Great. Everybody needs a goalie,’” Ruchalski said. “I can’t believe we are doing so well. Well, I can because my girls are so talented, but I didn’t expect that this was going to happen with our goalie situation and we never have this good of a season. It’s super fun, I love every minute of it.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN
Indians end losing streak, postseason run ends at top-seeded Niagara-Wheatfield By Tom Gallagher SPORTS REPORTER
After starting the season 7-2, the West Seneca West boys soccer team finished the year in a seven-game slump in which it didn’t win a game. “I’ve had sleepless nights the last couple of weeks,” Indians coach Brian DeGlopper said, “trying to figure out what changed and what the difference was.” DeGlopper might rest a little better after his team picked up a win in its biggest game of the season Monday (Oct. 20). Behind a pair of goals apiece from leading scorers Jake Bradford and Nate Roberts, the Indians downed Frontier, 5-1, in a Section VI Class AA pre-quarterfinals matchup at the West Seneca Soccer Complex. The Indians, who finished the regular season 7-8-1 overall and 4-7-1 in ECIC I action, won for the first time since beating crosstown rival West Seneca East on Sept. 20. Gradually slipping from the top of the Class AA standings to the No. 8 seed meant West relented a first-round bye and pitted it against Frontier, the section’s No. 9 seed. It also granted the Indians a very tough quarterfinals matchup. The travelled to Niagara-Wheatfield on Wednesday (Oct. 22) to take on the top-seeded Falcons, who boast one of Western New York’s
premier scorers in senior forward Jeremy Bari. Bari, who entered with a Niagara Frontier League-leading 27 goals in 16 games, was shadowed by Hunter Mancuso the whole game and was limited to one scoring chance. But he buried that chance in the clutch. In the 64th minute Bari scored to break a 1-1 tie and lift N-W over the Indians, 2-1, to advance to the semifinals. “I’ve had a chance to scout them,” DeGlopper said in the aftermath of the Indians’win over Frontier. “(Bari) is a phenomenal player. Obviously he’s someone we have to account for. There’s no question about that. They’re going to be keying on him so we have to make sure we account for him all day. It’s just going to be a battle. If you can take him out of the game, I think your level of playing field significantly evens.” While West’s season continued at Niagara-Wheatfield, Frontier’s came to an end. After enduring the death of coach Tom Kacalski, who passed away during the summer just months after taking on Frontier’s head coaching position in the spring, the Falcons turned to Jason Iwankow to take the reins of the program. Frontier finished 2-9-1 in the league and 4-11-1 overall. “It’s tough,” Iwankow said. “We’re trying to build a program here. I think our seniors know that when push comes to shove, this
is the start of something hopefully for good things to come afterwards. “I know it stinks now, especially for the seniors. I’ve been coaching these guys for almost four or five years now, either on the J.V. or varsity level, so it’s tough.” Frontier opened the scoring against West when Nathan Tomasik buried a corner from Justin Weiskerger in the 15th minute, but the Indians stormed back with five straight goals. Bradford, who finished the regular season with eight goals and seven assists, tied things up with a rangy opposite-foot shot in the 27th minute and Roberts’ first of the game and ninth of the year gave the team a 2-1 lead in the 36th. Parker Welling assisted on both Indians tallies. After West’s second goal, the Falcons had to endure some in-game adversity when senior goalkeeper Ken Taylor suffered an apparent thumb injury late in the first half. He left the game and didn’t return. “It hurts,” Iwankow said. “Kenny has been the backbone of this team. He doesn’t get enough credit for what he does and the saves we ask him to make. He’s been playing great this season, so to lose him in that first half really hurt.” In the second half, Roberts buried a feed from Dave Mack for his second of the night in the 52nd minute. In the 66th minute,

Jake Bradford, 12, scored twice in West’s win over Frontier Monday (Oct.20). Mancuso finished a nice ball from Bradford, who rounded out the scoring moments later with another long shot after taking a pass from Adam Tobias. For DeGlopper, West’s scoring explosion was a welcomed one after the team had scored just twice in its seven-game slump to end the season. It was also fitting to him that Roberts and Bradford were the two to shoulder the of-
Barrett’s energy infectious to East spikers By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER
If there is one guarantee during a West Seneca East girls volleyball match, it’s that Erin Barrett will be outworked by no one on either side. She is all-out, all the time. That’s abundantly clear during any match. The senior outside hitter owns intensity and passion that can rally the Lady Trojans. They only have one ECIC II victory this season, as of Oct. 22, but a fair share of the defeats were tight — four- and five-set thrillers. With Barrett as a co-captain, she heads the wire-to-wire work put forth by East. She can chase down a ball on the opposite side of the court, make a pass, and be fully recovered, ready to hit by the time the ball is set. On top of a never-give-up attitude, she isn’t afraid to display her emotions and
vocally push teammates. “She is all around. She’s a highenergy player who motivates the girls,” East coach Lauren Clark said. “The fierceness that she brings; the energy, the motivation, the look on her face, the yell. You can just see it. It’s just coming right from deep in her heart, and everybody just feeds of that. Not every athlete has a drive like her. She will definitely be missed because of it.” But before she is missed, the Lady Trojans have Section VI Class B sectionals starting the week of Oct. 27, while most of the top-tier teams in ECIC II compete in Class A playoffs. Squaring against those tough squads during the year makes the Lady Trojans better suited to handle the B programs, said Barrett, the team’s leader in kills. “We have been playing highintensity teams all year and now we are playing against some lower teams,” said Barrett, a four-year
varsity player. “But we are going to have to keep our intensity up so that we don’t play down a level. I think we will do well because we have a close team.” As long as Barrett is on the roster, sustaining team-wide passion won’t be a problem. Barrett believes strongly in morale. When somebody is down, she said, it’s difficult for the team to perform its best. She can be counted on to keep spirits up with, well, her powerful spirit. “I try and get all the girls riled up,” Barrett said. “They call me a tomato on fire because my face is really red and then I scream like I am on fire. It’s pretty embarrassing but it gets them pumped. I try to cheer everybody on and make sure they are doing their best so we can feed off each other as a team.” In terms of offense, Barrett can be downright unstoppable at times. Her hits have an incredible amount of pace, and when that
power is combined with a fiery competitiveness, it makes for a player that needs the full attention of the opposition. Clark described Barrett as a “force to contend with,” and someone she would be intimidated by if she were going up against her. Fortunately for Clark, Barrett is on her side as a key cog in the Lady Trojans’ game plan. And while Barrett’s abilities allow her to play anywhere on the court, she is ultra effective when hitting. Especially when she finds her groove. “She is one-of-a-kind for us,” Clark said. “Everybody can’t do what she does and we definitely take full advantage of her every chance we get. When she is on, it’s very difficult to dig her ball and to return it. When she is into it, there is no shutting her down.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN
fensive load in the biggest game of the year. “Down the stretch, I wouldn’t say we didn’t play well, we just didn’t get the results,” DeGlopper said. “We were 0-6-1 our last seven. The scoring went away, our offensive possession went away. “To have both those guys, Bradford and Roberts, step up in a big game is huge. I challenged
them at the beginning of the game. I said, ‘Look, this isn’t going to be your last game. We have to have somebody step up.’I didn’t know who it was going to be, but it was fitting that those two stepped up and made a difference.” DeGlopper lauded senior captains Jake Bartz for his efforts in net and Kris Rehner for his work on the backend.
Couple miscues prove costly in defeat “Iroquois” from page B1
Scoring was scarcer against a Flames team that allows less than a goal per game. Will. East (14-0-3) limited the number of shots allowed while peppering Iroquois’ goalkeepers with 22. Buehlmann, who played 60 minutes and allowed four goals on 18 shots, and Dobrzynski (four saves), stood strong against a potent attack. Birzon entered the contest tied for fifth in Section VI in points with 69, and added to that total. She scored twice within the first 20 minutes to build a lead. Audrey McNamara had Will. East’s other goal in the 44th minute and Birzon got her hat trick marker in the 56th. Weber said he didn’t notice any jet lag from playing on
back-to-back days. It was merely a good team feasting on a few mistakes that were committed. “They didn’t seem overly nervous and they knew it was going to be a challenge because Williamsville East is unbeaten for a reason,” Weber said. “They’re a good team and they controlled much of the play. There were just a couple breakdowns here and there that deflated us a little bit. But, as always, we played hard right until the end.” The Flames faced seventhseeded Hamburg (11-4-1) in the quarterfinals at 3:30 p.m. Thursday (Oct. 23) at home.

PRO FOOTBALL CORNER
FROM the SIDELINES Bills’ Orton getting involved, makes appearance at Doodle Bugs By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR
Having led the Bills to a pair of last-second comeback victories in his first three games under center for them, Kyle Orton has certainly endeared himself to fans in Buffalo of late. He endeared himself to a much younger contingent of fans on Tuesday (Oct. 21). Orton traded in his playbook for a children’s book when he made an appearance at Doodle Bugs! on Red Tail Drive in Orchard Park to read Rosemary Wells’ “Bunny Cakes” to 3- and 4-year-olds at the daycare center. The 10th-year NFL veteran has only been in Buffalo for a couple of months since signing as a free agent at the conclusion of training camp, but he’s already immersed himself in the Buffalo community. “Everything has been great [since coming to Buffalo],” Orton said. “Everyone has been great to us. We live in a great neighborhood and have made a
bunch of friends already. “It’s nice being in a small, close-knit community.” Orton and his wife, Bridget, are tied to Doodle Bugs through their daughter Olivia’s enrollment in the program there. Olivia, 3, was among the many children on hand to listen to Orton read Wells’ tale of a grocery store-bound Bunny on a quest to bake a cake. Orton, who grew up enjoying children’s books like “Curious George” and the “Berenstain Bears”, suggested that it was a gratifying experience. “I love being around kids and anything you can do to help kids is great,” he said. “[Doodle Bugs] has been great to us. Coming to Buffalo late, we got Olivia right into school and she loves it here. “Friday afternoons, I come pick her up here with my wife and it’s the best half-hour of my week. So anything I can do to come and help out I’m going to do.” Orton is one of a flurry of Bills that have gotten involved in the Buffalo community of late. Among
TOM GALLAGHER
Bills QB Kyle Orton, whose 3-year-old daughter Olivia is a student at Doodle Bugs, read to a group of children at the daycare center on Oct. 21. them, center Eric Wood teamed up with Carly’s Club for a Jocktails event a few weeks ago, Keith Rivers appeared at PS 79 in Buffalo in support of the school’s launch of a Fuel Up to Play 60 campaign, and Brandon Spikes chaired the Buffalo Zoo’s ‘Adopt an Animal’ program and appeared at the zoo for a meet and great with fans in September. Additionally, a host of Bills are involved in the
organization’s ticket donation program and were in Niagara Falls for the Bills’ ‘Pinktober’ event earlier this month. “We have a lot of guys on our team that give back to the community and spend a lot of time and effort doing so,” Orton said. “I think all of our players know it’s important and they do a good job with it.” While Orton and the Bills were off on Tuesday, with a visit to the AFC East’s last-
place 1-6 New York Jets on the horizon Sunday (Oct. 26), it was back to the playbook for them on Wednesday. The team eked out a home victory over Minnesota last week when Orton guided the offense on what seemed like an improbable 80-yard drive in the final minutes that was capped off by top pick Sammy Watkins’ game-winning touchdown reception with 1 second left. It was Orton’s second display of late-game heroics since joining the Bills. He led the team on a lastminute drive against Detroit two weeks ago and helped to set up Dan Carpenter’s game-winning 58yard field goal with 4 seconds left. “Hopefully we don’t have to make it a fourthquarter game all the time and we can play better earlier in the game, but the wins have been exciting,” said Orton, who backed up Tony Romo in Dallas the last two seasons. “They’ve been fun. We’ll take them any way we can get them and hopefully we can keep
on doing it.” It’s possible if Orton continues to put up the numbers he has through three games. In leading the Bills to a 2-1 record since taking over for second-year QB EJ Manuel, Orton’s thrown for 890 yards and five touchdowns, numbers that prorate to over 4,500 yards and 25 touchdowns in a 16-game season. He’s just grateful to have the opportunity to start again. “I love it here,” Orton said. “I’ve made that known and I think everybody in the organization knows how much I appreciate that they’ve brought me in.” The Bills have a chance to improve to 5-3 when they take on the Jets at 1 p.m. inside MetLife Stadium. The Jets have lost six straight since opening the season with a win. Percy Harvin, who New York traded a conditional pick for last week, will make his Jets debut as a receiver and kick returner. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
DeMarsh earns 100th victory, still has one goal in mind By Jonah Bronstein SPORTS REPORTER
Nick DeMarsh took over the struggling women’s soccer team at Buffalo State College a dozen years ago with one goal in mind. “I wanted to win the conference and represent this school on the national level at the NCAAs,” said DeMarsh, a three-time All-SUNYAC player for the Bengals who assisted the men’s program for four years prior to becoming the women’s head coach. That has not happened yet. “So we still have some work to do,” DeMarsh is quick to point out. But the program has come a long way under DeMarsh’s direction. DeMarsh entered this weekend’s homestand with 101 career victories. In the 21 seasons prior to
DeMarsh taking over, the Bengals won 114 games. “I have to give a lot of credit to Jerry Boyes, our athletic director, for allowing me to build the program and build the team,” DeMarsh said. “This was a situation that really needed to be built from the ground up.” DeMarsh was teaching at Native American Magnet school and coaching the Bengals part-time during his first two seasons, before Boyes promoted him to a full-time coaching position. “When you are a part-time coach, you are going to get part-time results,” DeMarsh said. “We really didn’t start winning until I got the job fulltime.” The Bengals have posted winning records in seven of the past 11 seasons, and last year finished second in the SUNYAC. With a very young roster this
season, the Bengals are 6-7-1 and 3-4 in conference play. Buffalo State hosts New Paltz (8-6-2, 2-3-2) at 3 p.m. Friday. A win would solidify the Bengals at sixth place in the SUNYAC standings and keep them out of the play-in round of the postseason tournament. “We want to take it one game at a time, and really, all that matters for us is our next game,” DeMarsh said. Buffalo State hosts defending champion Oneonta at 10 a.m. Saturday and wraps up the regular season Oct. 29 with a non-conference home game against St. John Fisher. When DeMarsh took over the Bengals program he had players who weren’t even starters on their high school teams. DeMarsh, who lives in North Buffalo and is the director of coaching for the Kenmore Soccer Club, has
COURTESY OF BUFFALO STATE ATHLETICS
Nick DeMarsh has 101 career coaching wins. extended his recruiting range throughout the state and into New Jersey – and even has one player on the team from California.
But the Bengals are captained by local recruits in senior Liz Malinowski (Williamsville South) and junior Gabrianna Boldinski (Ken-
more East). “Liz came to us with great experience in terms of highlevel club soccer and has really learned the ropes of college soccer,” DeMarsh said. “She’s a very smart player, a good student, and a good example for our younger players.” Boldinski is “probably the best center defender in the SUNYAC,” DeMarsh said. “She’s an absolute monster of a ball-winner. I could probably player her at any position on the field.” Sophomrore midfielder Katie Shaw (Newfane) has been key contributor for the Bengals this year and is pushing to be a captain next season, DeMarsh said. With 100 wins in his review mirror, DeMarsh has no plans to stop before he reaches his ultimate goal. “I’m pretty stubborn,” he said. “I would never leave the job undone.”
Simonick inducted into Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame By Catherine Miller THE SUN CORRESPONDENT
It’s a good time to be a sports fan in Buffalo. The Pegula family has made more headlines than money recently – and the players on the Bills and Sabres are doing their best to make their owners proud. As Buffalo’s name rises to the top pages of nationwide sports news outlets, the newest group of local sports honorees were inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame on Oct 16 – and one of the inductees was the Old First Ward’s Robert “Rip” Simonick. By many measures, Rip Simonick has led a fairly basic life. He grew up in the Old First Ward amidst a great group of family and friends and attended Bishop Timon High School. He married the
love of his life, MaryAnn “Maize” McGuire, a Mount Mercy Academy alumni. He took a job just a few blocks away from his childhood home and has worked for the same company for the past 44 years, presently living about a half-hour from his original place of birth. Pretty standard by most counts. So why, then, when you ask a man like former Sabre Rob Ray to tell you one thing about Simonick, he just throws his hands up in the air and tells you that it’s impossible to say just one thing? Simonick doesn’t work for just any company. Simonick, known to many, is the head equipment manager of the Buffalo Sabres. He has designed specialized gear for players when they were in need, learned players’ preferences on how they liked their skates sharpened, and when equipment
was all set and they just needed someone to talk to – Simonick was there. What you may not realize is that Simonick has been with the Sabres since day one – and has never left – becoming the most skilled and tenured equipment manager in the league. He was there for the ups – like his favorite seasons in 1975 and 1999 – and he refuses to talk about the lows of the “no goal” days. Rip’s knowledge and expertise in the NHL goes well beyond his title as head equipment manager for the Sabres. “Rip is just a tremendous guy,” said Rob Ray of the man he introduced at the awards banquet for the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame. “Everybody in the NHL franchise knows him and everyone respects him. He is the father of the fran-
chise.” Ray continued to share personal thoughts on his admiration for the man that knew exactly what equipment Ray needed to play and the words he needed to hear before heading onto the ice. “We were rookies together,” stated Gilbert Perreault, who took center ice in 1970 as Rip stood behind the scenes making sure the players had all they needed to play in the Sabres’ inaugural season, “Rip was a great guy then, and he’s a great guy now.” Other hockey names mimicked the views of Ray and Perreault. Ray rattled off dozens of other NHL names that look up to Simonick, the renowned equipment guru. Ice manager Bob Strianese and Digger Kennedy, father of NHL player Tim Kennedy, both spoke highly of their friendship with Si-
monick. Much of Simonick’s family still lives in the Old First Ward, and many attended the GBSHOF awards dinner, sharing similar thoughts on the greatness of Simonick. He had more family and friends attend the awards dinner than any other inductee. Simonick never stepped out on a professional field in uniform, never scored the winning goal and was never nominated as an MVP. Still, his name is known in the sports industry better than most and for more decades than many, and he is the only member of the NHL franchise to work from day one to today. Many NHLers state that it’s Simonick’s personality that makes him unique. In addition to his equipment expertise, it is his ability to listen when players need listening to that endears him
to so many. And if you ask Simonick – he believes he’s important to the game on a very basic level. “Hey, you can’t play the game without equipment,” Simonick said with a smile. Whether talking about hockey or life in general, Simonick is correct – and he has definitely brought forth the right equipment to help bring out the best in our players from the days of the French Connection, to the seasons when Ray and Brad May battled in corners with opposing players, to the present-day Pegula era. With everything that he has given to the game of hockey, there is one thing that he would like to get from it in return, and that is to see Lord Stanley’s Cup in Buffalo. But for now, he’s content to join a host of great names in the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

Halloween parade a spooky good time

These smiling faces had a great time dressing up in costume for Southgate Plaza’s Halloween Parade. By Angela Rupp SUN CORRESPONDENT
West Seneca residents and their families were out in full costume force for the Southgate Plaza’s Halloween parade on Sunday, Oct. 19. It was a huge turnout for the town. Residents dressed up and brought their little ones out to town hall where everyone assembled. The fire department was there, with one firefighter dressed as a huge Dalmatian,
stopping to take photos with families. Among some of the most popular costumes were Frozen characters. There will several girls dressed up as Elsa, the main character from the hit movie. Additionally, many little ones dressed as Anna. One family made Frozen their costume theme. In good spirit, dad Jeff Cunningham, of West Seneca, dressed as Olaf, mom Melissa was Anna, and their 4-year-old daughter Kaylin was the Snow Queen herself, Elsa. Another big trend in dress up
attire was Star Wars characters; several little boys dressed as Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader (no sign of Princess Leia at the parade). Also out and about were some of the most popular, traditional costumes people go for: witches, skeletons, princesses, monsters and pop culture figures. One very large, tall man was dressed at a Lego character, and he danced his way up Union Road to many cheers and claps from the crowd. Another awesome trend:
Halloween costumes for the family pet. Dogs were dressed as dragons and skeletons, to name a few. Town resident Audra Sitarek was surprised at the amount of people that came out. “It’s pleasantly surprising to see so many people get out and proudly march in their town,” she said. “I love seeing everyone’s costumes. This is fun for the kids to participate.” Everyone in the parade all stood waiting by the West Seneca Library while the event was getting underway. The horns blasted from the Akron
marching band, all dressed in white, black and red. Behind them was the West Seneca Town Band. The parade started promptly at noon and took off Legion Drive heading south up Union Road towards Southgate Plaza. The West Seneca Town Police had the side of the street blocked for safety. Many crowd watchers sat on the sidewalk and enjoyed the parade marching by. The music was loud and executed perfectly by the members of the marching bands. Weather wise, it was a cool but clear day, with no rain
to rain on the parade. The walk took approximately 30 minutes. After reaching Southgate Plaza, the parade marchers wrapped around to the back and assembled for cider and donuts. The announcement was made for 15 lucky winners in original and eye catching costumes to receive a Southgate Plaza gift certificate. The pride of West Seneca was out and walking about on Sunday. It was a fun event and a great way to bring members of the community together in the spirit of Halloween.

If you’re looking for something Irish to give to a special someone this Christmas, be sure to visit Shamrock Chic. This seasonal store has two locations: in the new wing at the Niagara Falls Fashion Outlet Mall and by the food court at the McKinley Mall. Marjorie Corrow – who believes in the old-fashioned, tried and true business values, including quality merchandise, fair prices and the art of outstanding customer service – started Shamrock Chic in 1997. The business motto she created for Shamrock Chic is, “Our quality, our pride,” and all of her employees business stand by it. Corrow studied fashion design at the University of Vermont and earned a Bachelor of Science in Clothing, Textile and Design. Utilizing her talents, Corrow designs and embroiders all of the Irishthemed apparel available
to purchase. Her work has been featured in “Stitches,” a national embroidery trade magazine, and was chosen among thousands of applicants as one of the 10 most interesting businesswomen to follow in the embroidery industry. This Buffalo native brings an ethnic flavor to the coats, vests, hats, gloves, fashion tees, hoodies and specialty items she sells. The store also features high-quality Guinness apparel, “Genuine” Inis perfume, fashion bangle bracelets directly from Ireland, handbags and accessories. If there are any items you have seen before but don’t see at either of Shamrock Chic’s locations, ask one of the store’s employees about it and chances are you will get it sent to you as a special order. Though Shamrock Chic is a seasonal store, Corrow travels throughout the remainder of the year as a
vendor at the largest Irish festivals across the country, including: Milwaukee, Wis.; Dublin, Ohio; and Buffalo’s own Irish Festival. She is also a vendor at Western New York’s very popular Irish Feiseanna Dance Competition, as well as Ancient Order of Hibernians (A.O.H.) Conferences. Corrow aspires to make Shamrock Chic a common household name nationwide among both the Irish and the Irish item connoisseurs alike. Merchandise can be purchased year-round on etsy.com and www.lifesastitchemb.com. Items may also be purchased by placing an order through the “Life’s A Stitch Embroidery, LLC” Facebook page.

Did you watch this past season of “America’s Got Talent?” If you said yes, you probably have heard of stand-up comedian Wendy Liebman. After being eliminated in the quarterfinals of the show, judge Howard Stern selected Liebman as his wild card, allowing her to appear on the show one more time. Though it was magician Mat Franco who won season 9 of the competition, Liebman was able to bring her already successful career to new heights. The Long Island native’s stand-up career began after graduating from Wellesley College with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She performed research at Harvard Medical School and worked as the assistant to the director at a fellowship program at Radcliffe College. One day, Liebman decided to look into taking a comedy class at The Cambridge Center for Adult Education in Cambridge, Mass. “I was reading the course catalogue when I saw, ‘How to Be a Stand Up Comedi-
an.’ That really resonated,” Liebman said. “I wasn’t planning on pursuing comedy but it fell into place.” Her first professional standup performance took place about 30 years ago at Stitches, a comedy club in Boston, Mass. “The person I went with said no one heard a word I said, but I felt good about it. Comedy is addictive,” she said. Her career took off. Liebman became a regular on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and she appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” She was the first comedian to perform on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and has done comedy specials for HBO, Comedy Central and Showtime. Her most recent special, “Taller on TV,” celebrating her 50th birthday, aired on Showtime and is available on DVD through Amazon. Her comedy has allowed her to open for bigname stars like Ray Charles and Reba McEntire, and in 1996 she received the Amer-

I better pack a parka,” Liebman joked. “I heard the people there are the nicest. I’m looking forward to entertaining them. I heard the food is pretty good too. Any food is good as long as I’m not cooking it.” Her show will contain new material as well as a lot of jokes about her parents, husband and two stepsons. “They’re always trying to help me come up with new jokes about themselves,” Liebman said. Besides performing stand-up around the country, Liebman and her husband, Jeff, are currently writing a musical about stand-up comedy titled “Home on Tuesday.” “My husband is very musical,” Liebman said. Jeff’s father and uncle, The Sherman Brothers, wrote music for many famous

ican Comedy Award for Best Female Standup. Though Liebman has experienced multiple noteworthy moments in career, her most memorable moment was performing on “America’s Got Talent.” “Performing on stage at Radio City has been highlight of my career,” Liebman said. “More people saw me on that show than every other show I was ever on combined.” “America’s Got Talent” brought more exposure to Liebman’s name and knack for comedy, but what she couldn’t do on the show while on stage was interact with audience members. “My favorite thing is per-

Bowmansville Haunted Hayride is handicap accessible By Amy Robb
THE LANCASTER SUN REPORTER
Bowmansville Volunteer Fire Association will be hosting a haunted hayride from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 and Saturday Oct. 25. Stop by the Bowmansville Fire Department at 36 Main St. in Bowmansville for some tasty donuts and cider, or hot chocolate, to ease the chill from those creepy ghouls on your ride. Costumes are encouraged, to really get into the spirit. Bowmansville has been putting on the Halloween event for the past four years, with the exception of 2012. As Western New York’s only handicapped and wheelchair accessible haunted hayride, the Bowmansville Fire Department is happy to accommodate all those brave enough to venture along the ride’s path. “Ramps are constructed, and when wagons are pulled around, they back up to the ramp which brings them up to the surface,” said Brian Koch, a member of the Bowmansville Volunteer Fire Association. According to Koch, having an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) friendly haunted hayride was a natural fit for the association, since the parents of two handicapped

Bowmansville Fire Department brings back the Haunted Hayride. brothers are members as well. In everything they do, the association keeps the boys in mind, and by extension all other ADA people. He added that just by being a volunteer firefighter, they’re trained to find solutions to problems, and overcoming logistical obstacles is simply something they’re used to. “The haunted house that
used to accompany the hayride was built specifically with wheelchairs in mind, so that those coming through won’t get wheels stuck around corners, and if there is a caregiver pushing the wheelchair, they can maneuver easily too,” explained Koch. “We’ve had a large response from the area. We’ve even had people

travel over an hour to come to it,” added Koch, about the hayride. The wagons themselves are modified too, with more space to accommodate wheelchairs, “without any need for people to be taken out of their comfort zone,” said Koch, referring to the sometimes bumpy ride often associated with haunted hayrides.
“Between the weather, the terrain, the wet ground, there aren’t a lot of activities for ADA people to partake in. Every hay wagon we use they can go on, no waiting for a special wagon. That way they’re right a part of the action with everybody,” added Koch. The pathways behind the fire department are smooth and on level ground, but Koch added there are straps on the sides of the wagon to secure the wheelchair if need be, stressing that it’s often on a case-by-case basis. The wagons move very slowly as it is through the woods that it will not be an issue. All of the scenery and actors will be on the same side of the path, so that people won’t have to turn or crane their necks to see what’s happening on
the other side of the wagon, making it easier for everyone to enjoy the ride. The deliberate pace of the ride sets the stage for actors to bring their characters to life, surrounded be creepy decorations along the path. Volunteers from different town fire departments, along with the Boy Scouts, will be dressed to put everyone in the Halloween spirit, while members of the Bowmansville Department will help run the event and man the concession stand. There is a $3 admission donation per person, with proceeds going to benefit Cradle Beach and The Franciscan Center.
No Frills Buffalo releases two books by local authors No Frills Buffalo publishing company has announced the release of two new books by local authors: “Convergence” by Deborah Madar and “Mommy, Can I Have That” by Elizabeth Cosgrove Feeney. Madar was born in Buffalo and has been a Chautauqua County resident for most of her life. She taught high school and college English for 26 years and currently resides with her husband in Bemus Point. The following is the description for “Convergence:” When a human connection is made unexpectedly, out of nowhere, hope arises; life seems full of possibilities and worth living, even in the darkest times. So concludes Leigh Ann Fray’s latest Convergences column, through which she observes and explores how fate can intercede and transform lives. Suddenly, chance intervenes in her own life when she receives a flattering email from a long forgotten boyfriend. He wonders: Would she be interested in reconnecting, for old time’s sake? Phil Perrero’s true motivation for reaching out to her,
however, is much more complicated. Charlotte White, an emotionally unstable young woman, is obsessed with Leigh Ann. When she discovers Phil’s rendezvous plan, “The Voice” inside Charlotte’s head insists she must prevent this reunion. When the two strangers converge in Leigh Ann’s home one day, the tragedy that unfolds devastates Leigh Ann. This convergence forces her to confront the question: What is her role in this catastrophe? Is she a victim or the catalyst? “Mommy, Can I Have That?” is a book of recipes that people with certain allergies can eat. In this case, the foods are free of eggs, dairy products, peanuts and tree nuts. “This book is about making recipes with everyday ingredients found in your kitchen without causing you to spend $30 to make a pan of brownies,” the author said. Cosgrove Feeney is a wife and stay-at-home mom with two sons, the youngest of which was born with food allergies. She has taken family recipes and converted them into safe, delicious recipes the entire family can en-
joy. There are allergy free foods included in the book that cannot be purchased in stores, such as cinnamon rolls, donuts, marshmallow fluff and sponge candy. The author received a bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Geneseo and an associate degree from Trocaire College in Buffalo. Books published by No Frills Buffalo can be purchased online at www. amazon.com, www.powells.com, www.barnesandnoble.com and www.nofrillsbuffalo.com. Several local bookstores also carry the No Frills Buffalo collection, including Talking Leaves; Dog Ears Bookstore; The Second Reader; Monkey See, Monkey Do; Lift Bridge Books in Brockport and Buffalo Street Books in Ithaca. No Frills Buffalo is currently accepting submissions from writers interested in being published. For more information, visit www.nofrillsbuffalo.com or email submissions@ nofrillsbuffalo.com. You can also follow No Frills Buffalo on Facebook for frequent updates.

Close to You: The music of the Carpenters comes to WNY By Sallie Moppert
THE LANCASTER SUN REPORTER
Fans of the musical group The Carpenters will be in for a special treat this November. Musical group Close to You will be performing its show dedicated to The Carpenters called “Close to You: The Music of the Carpenters.” There will be two shows held at the Lancaster Opera House Saturday, Nov. 1 and Sunday, Nov. 2. This is the first time that Close to You will be performing at the opera house and the performances will be its New York debut. Bandleader Lisa Rock expressed her excitement about being able to bring her musical group’s passion for The Carpenters to the Western New York area. “I have always loved the music of The Carpenters,” Rock said. “I wrote a show about them years ago, but I wanted to make the show more accessible to the audience. I think that this new show will be a great time for the audience and a great way to keep the amazing music alive.” Rock and her fellow band mates have been perform-

Don’t miss out on the music of The Carpenters. ing together for the past five years. Close to You is a seven piece band with live instruments. Rock is the bandleader and her fellow performers include Amy Malous, Micky York, Justin Boller, David Orlicz, Eric Engelson and Ken McMullen. They have recently re-
leased an album together that features some of the greatest hits of The Carpenters. The album is available online at the group’s website and it will also be available for purchase at the opera house. The show will feature a variety of Carpenter songs, including some of their greatest
hits. Some of the songs include Superstar, Rainy Days and Mondays, Top of the World and, of course, Close to You. All of the songs will be performed in their original keys to keep them as close to the way that The Carpenters performed them as possible. Hearing many of these well-
known songs will have the audience singing along with the performers, something, Rock said, that makes the Close to You show so unique. “One of things that people enjoy is that they hear songs that they know and can sing along to,” Rock explained. “This music reaches all age ranges because people can relate to the songs and they know the words. We also try to build a rapport with the audience and let them enjoy this unique experience to the fullest.” In addition to the songs that will be performed, Rock and her band mates will also be giving anecdotes about the Carpenters, Karen and Rich-
ard. Some of the anecdotes will include information on their lives and where the inspiration for some of their famous songs came from. The first performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 and the second show will take place at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. Tickets for the show are $25 and can be purchased online at www.lancopera.org or by contacting the Lancaster Opera House at 683-1776. The Lancaster Opera House is located at 21 Central Ave. in Lancaster. Information on Close to You can be found at www.closetoyouonline.com.
From military to scary - there’s a reason to run By Catherine Miller COURIER CORRESPONDENT
Move over Turkey Trot, there are a couple of other Buffalo November runs in the Downtown Buffalo area that are catching the eye – and running shoes – of a couple hundred Buffalo runners. They are the Boo-Bash-and-Dash that starts and ends at the Hotel
Lafayette and the Maritime March, held at the popular Canalside area. The Boo-Bash-and-Dash is exactly what it sounds like – an awesome Halloween party with a 5k run thrown right in the middle of it. Start your night at the Hotel Lafayette on Sat. Nov 1 at 5:30 pm. Inside the 391 Washington Street location you will find the party hopping inside the
Pan-Am Grill and Brewery. The Sabres game will be on their screens and a costume contest will be judged at 7pm. Admission to the pre and post party is free, and you can register for the run during the pre-party if you haven’t done so on the www.boobashanddash.com website. The run starts at 7:30 pm with lit decorations on the run’s course. A bag
check will be available for runners and costumes are encouraged during the race. Pre-registration is $25, and $35 on the day of the course with proceeds benefitting Buffalo PAL. Registration entitles runners to a free beer and sport t-shirt, and the party continues at the PanAm Grill after the race. On Sat, Nov 15 the Maritime Charter School
will once again hold their WNY Maritime March 5k race at 11am at historic Canalside. The proceeds from the race help to fund scholarships for graduating seniors at the Maritime Charter School. Race day registration is available in the parking lot of the Swannie House Restaurant, 170 Ohio Street. The race will start in close proximity at South
Park Ave near Michigan and will travel past Canalside, Erie Basin Marina as well as the Naval and Military Park before commencing at River Fest Park, where the post-party will then be held at the Swannie House. Preregistration is available until Nov 13 online for $20 at www.itsyourrace.com. Late registration is $25.
