Lake effect snow takes Southtowns by storm

Board inches closer to decision on elementary school closures

By Kimberly Snickles WEST SENECA SUN EDITOR

Imagine waking up to a pile of snow so enormous outside that you can barely open your front door. That’s the predicament Western New Yorkers were faced with on Tuesday as some cities like West Seneca and Elma received up to five feet of snow. “I’ve been out here since 2 a.m.,” said John Gullo, West Seneca Emergency Disaster Coordinator. “I had to dig myself out and it took me a few hours to get out of my own driveway. I got lucky enough to maneuver my way to town hall and the emergency operations center with the help of school plows.” Gullo and volunteers from the West Seneca Emergency Operations Center worked diligently for the past few days to help those who were stranded and needing assistance from the storm. He explained many individuals had nothing but a t-shirt on and were without food or water in their vehicles for several hours. “We will be up 24/7 until we can get everyone taken care of as best as possible,” he said. “Some of the places that we’re getting even a snowmobile can’t get to, so we make phone calls and reach out to see how they’re doing.” The Town of West Seneca put a state of emergency and

This was the calm between the storms. driving ban into effect early Tuesday morning to alert residents of the danger of going outside. Not only were vehicles getting stuck, several snow plows couldn’t make their way out of the snow either. The town reached out to Erie County and local residents for assistance with snowmobiles and four-quad vehicles. “It’s a very difficult process,” said Gullo. “It wasn’t predicted the way it was and there’s so many things out of my control.” Gullo emphasized the importance of staying off the roads during this time, not

only for safety, but also so the snowplows can do their job of clearing the roads. He suggested that residents check their high efficiency furnaces to ensure they are not blocked with snow. Snow covered furnace pipes can lead to poisonous carbon monoxide build-up in the home. “It’s just the nature of Buffalo, we need to stay indoors and keep our heads clear,” he said. And some West Seneca residents did just that. “Our only concern has been too much snow build-up on the roof, so we’ve been going out

a couple times a day to clear the roof with our roof rake, and clear space in front of the garage for our dog,” said Alison Roy-Russo, resident. “We’ve been doing a lot of baking, making crafts, and watching movies.” “I have been stuck in my apartment, but even if I dig out my car, the parking lot would not allow me to drive to the street,” said John Rizzo, resident. “My spaghetti was still good even though I only had pizza sauce and I’ve played a lot of Nintendo Wii.”

Amanda Hansen Foundation teams up with Kearns to donate furnace, CO detectors By Kimberly Snickles WEST SENECA SUN EDITOR

The Amanda Hansen Foundation is an organization whose mission is to provide carbon monoxide detectors and furnaces to those who cannot otherwise afford them. And now, Assemblyman Michael Kearns has jumped on board to help with these life-saving efforts, too. “We’ve done so much stuff together and he just believes in the cause, so he joined the board and we’ve actually just been going crazy in a sense,” said Ken Hansen, founder of the Amanda Hansen Foundation. Kearns held a press conference on Monday in South

THE SUN

Buffalo to announce that he is teaming up with the foundation to prevent deaths that come from carbon monoxide poisoning. Hansen and Kearns distributed the first furnace donation by the Amanda Hansen Foundation to a Buffalo family in need and would like to continue to do so in the near future. “It’s a great feeling to help another family,” said Hansen. “We did it last year and it was so successful, so I told him this year I would like to give away six of them. Now if you know Mickey, he was all over it.”

Ken Hansen and Assemblyman Michael Kearns have partnered up to distribute furnaces and CO detectors to those in need.

At the request of the 21st Century Commission, the West Seneca Central Schools Board of Education held their first of two public work sessions to discuss solutions to the district’s budget and enrollment issues Monday, Nov. 17 at West Elementary. In total, the board looked at 12 options, presented to them at the beginning of the month by the 21st Century Commission, which recently concluded their appointment as “fact-finders,” charged with pouring over district numbers and touring school buildings. One of the main concerns facing parents with students in the district was the possibility that there may be multiple schools impacted by the decision. Along with the consensus of her fellow board members, Vice President Janice Dalbo quickly put the idea to rest. “I think that what the board wants to do is what ends up being the least disruptive to the students and the families. I would like to propose that we close, or repurpose, one building.” Piggybacking on that idea, Carol Jarczyk noted that in order to make sure they are limiting the impact even further, the district lines must remain intact, meaning East would remain as is and West would remain as is. The board also noted that they would not be changing the West Middle School model to reflect the East Middle School model of 5th through 8th grade. “It’s tough and it’s hard,” Jarczyk said. “I wish we had the $34.9 million, but we don’t.” After eliminating several options from consideration, the board came to an agreement on a plan that would move the students currently attending Potters Road Elementary to either Allendale or Winchester Elementary. For the board, selling a building was never really in play. Instead, taking into consideration one of the recommendations from the commission, they would look to utilize Potters Road as a mixed use building that would house the district’s Universal Pre-K program (UPK). This means relocating the UPK students from Northwood Elementary to be in the same building as the Potters Road students, with the program on the first floor and administrative offices on the second floor. The Potters Road building has bathrooms in all firstfloor classrooms and a separate, side entrance that would enable administrators to limit contact with the children, also taking into consideration the recommendation of removing the current offices from West Elementary for safety reasons. If this plan is finalized, the district is also entertaining the idea of looking to rent the space to an outside group. One such potential tenant would be Erie 1 BOCES, which currently occupies a property adjacent to the Potters Road building. While not on a timeline, the board members stressed the importance of coming to an agreement on which plan would be best for the district sooner rather than later, noting that it isn’t fair to keep families waiting. They went on to add that what the entire thing comes down to is determining which decision brings the district to a longer settling point and won’t call for another solution in the near future. Board President Mary Busse thanked everyone involved in the process, noting that the work session provided a great conversation and asked administrators to determine what streets will be impacted by the proposed changes, consolidating the UPK program under one roof, as well as looking for additional ways to repurpose the building. The next public work session will take place at 6 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 24 in the district office, located in West Elementary. CPOWNY

The Rusty Buffalo opening soon

By Angela Rupp

CPOWNY.COM

Coming soon to the West Seneca community will be a new sports bar establishment that promises to bring a fresh atmosphere to locals looking for a fun and relaxing night out. The Rusty Buffalo Sports Pub and Grill will open at the end of November in the Wimbledon Plaza off Center Road. After undergoing a massive refurbishment, much anticipation is surrounding the new bar. Formerly called Cheers, this new venue will be an exciting addition to West Seneca. Owners John Cordova, Julie Sims and Marie Rock have organized an extensive group effort to make over the old Cheers and bring a new, fresh look to the bar. Marie explains that since Oct. 6, much remodeling has taken place. New, brightly colored paint was added and lighting fixtures went up. The bar was completely stripped down and painted and is more spacious. The lay out is more expansive and the room is seeing much décor hit the walls. Marie explains that the work has been a labor of love for her in this

The Rusty Buffalo is hoping to open soon after the storm. “The reason I jumped into it was because it was very exciting and something new. I’m looking forward to this. I have another business, but this is the first bar venture,” she said. “We will be offering ‘pub grub’ so to say, with a light menu focused on chicken wings, fingers, stuff like that.” Coming up with a new name for the establishment was a group effort between the owners. When Rusty Buffalo was mentioned, it just stuck. Staff was interviewed, hired and has been in training for a month. A new sign was erected, and

The bar has been under renovation, and along with its new look will come new aspects of the establishment. For example, there will be a restaurant open during the day to serve guests.

The bar will serve 10 different craft beers on tap. Along with the new restaurant and drink specials, the Rusty Buffalo will offer family friendly fun while dining there. There will be trivia nights and plenty of big screen televisions to enjoy while eating. Their focus is on sporting events. In the future, the sports bar will offer night life entertainment with live bands on Friday nights. This is a new chapter in Marie’s business career.

Be prepared, stay safe during winter driving months Every start to the winter season, you promise yourself that this year will be different, that you’ll be ready for whatever blizzard Mother Nature sends us. We all know that winter driving can be a test for even expert drivers and you need to be prepared at all times. Before the storm hits, take a moment to review a few simple winter driving tips and double-check that you have the proper emergency gear in your vehicle to ensure your safety.

CPOWNY

READERS

BY THE NUMBERS

Not all drivers are prepared for winter driving conditions, so take it slow when driving on snowy or icy roadways. Drive as the environment warrants, stay alert and reduce your speed. Due to poor visibility and/or bad road conditions, always leave plenty of room between cars. Brake early and slowly give yourself time to stop and react safely. Keep a full tank of gas along with dry gas in your vehicle at all times. Before

pulling onto the road, be sure to completely clear snow and ice from your car windows, mirrors, lights, hood and roof. Don’t use cruise control in inclement weather as the slightest touch of your brakes to deactivate can cause loss of vehicle control. Take extra precaution when entering and exiting ramps and bridges as they can be extremely slippery. While four-wheel drive vehicles may help you get going quicker, they won’t help you stop any quicker -

don’t get overconfident when driving one. Make sure your car is properly maintained - the better shape your car is in, the safer you are on the road. Have your battery and ignition system checked, along with your brakes, transmission and tires. All fluids in your vehicle should be checked and topped off: de-icing washer fluid, oil, power steering and anti-freeze. Change or adjust spark plugs, air, fuel and emission filters. Check

your headlights, brake and tail lights, blinkers and emergency flashers. If you ever get stuck in the winter season, be prepared by keeping these emergency items handy in your vehicle: a spare tire, wheel wrench, jack, shovel, jumper cables, tow and tire chains, salt or cat litter, working flashlight with extra batteries, bright cloth, first aid kit, ice scraper and snow brush. Extra clothing such as gloves, socks and hats, a blanket, a 12 volt

charger for a cell phone, as well as non-perishable foods and bottles of water or juice are vital should you become stranded. Being prepared is the best offense against winter driving. Take it slow, be safe and buckle up. Additional safe driving tips can be found on the Erie County Clerk’s website www.erie.gov/clerk Chris Jacobs Erie County Clerk

Nowak earns All-America honors for second straight year, ends Daemen career on high note By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Lindsey Nowak was part of a nationally recognized team twice, and now, her individual play has been honored the same amount. The West Seneca native ended her career on the Daemen women’s volleyball team on a high note Oct. 29, when she was named a United States Collegiate Athletic Association first team All-American for a second consecutive year. And while Daemen wrapped up an uncharacteristic down season at 2-27 on Nov. 8, Nowak, a senior who has started all four years, did win back-to-back USCAA national championships (2012, 2013) with the Wildcats. Nowak was greatly responsible for the title runs, and she has the All-America status as proof. The team attainment wasn’t as profound in 2014, but Nowak, primarily a right side, had an outstanding senior campaign. She had a team-high 314 kills, was second in blocks (37) and fourth in digs (106). The kill and dig totals are career bests. “I had really good teammates last year and this year. Working hard and getting that honor means a lot,” Nowak said. “In the sense that I have worked hard through the years to improve, I think that is the coolest part to me, is that I was able to work hard and follow the program.” Making first team AllAmerica wasn’t new to Nowak, of course. However, not being present to accept the honor at the awards

shocked to hear her named called at the ceremony as one of the top players among the 80-plus teams across the nation in the USCAA. But this time, she was notified via email.

It was just as fulfilling. “It was cool because it was a big shock,” Nowak said of last year’s recognition. “We had so many players who had good seasons. And it was cool to repeat even though

Ward, Metz among five Iroquois athletes to sign letters of intent By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

It looked as if Jamie Ward and Amanda Metz were inseparable on the softball field. The longtime friends were on the same team when they started playing, and have continued that trend most years. They’re a highly lethal battery that plays softball together on both Team Mizuno and Iroquois. But the pitcher-catcher combo is soon to split up, as they’ll team for one final season — their senior campaigns — with the Lady Chiefs in the spring. Metz, a pitcher, is headed off to Edinboro to play Division II softball while Ward, a catcher, decided on attending DII Mercyhurst, where she’ll continue her career. Not only will they be in unfamiliar territory as members of separate squads, the two will also be rivals. With both schools being part of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, thus

Ward will play softball at Mercyhurst, while Metz will take her talents to Edinboro. playing annually,Ward will soon see Metz’ pitches from the side of the plate rather than behind it. “That’s going to be really, really weird,” said Metz, who is set to enter the nursing program at Edinboro. She had a 1.63 ERAin 16 starts for Iroquois as a junior. “She’s always been my catcher. It’s going to be hard to keep serious when I’m pitching to her.” “Being rivals should be fun,

too,” said Ward, who will major in sports management and led the Lady Chiefs in average (.441), RBIs (22) and home runs (three) last season. Ward and Metz were two of five senior student-athletes at Iroquois to recently sign national letters of intent. They inked their names Monday (Nov. 17) in Iroquois’ athletic

Iroquois club hockey opens year with tie The Iroquois boys club hockey team opened its season with a 3-3 tie against Canisius Nov. 14 at Leisure Rinks. Play was aggressive throughout, and Canisius kept Iroquois senior goalie Maverick Blachowicz busy, but he had a stellar game, facing and stopping a plethora of shots to keep the Chiefs in the game. Iroquois was able to take the night’s first lead with a firstperiod goal that came off a great individual effort by sophomore Ryan Marshall. The Crusaders tied it up in the second to send the game into the third tied at a goal apiece. Senior defensemen Joe Giambra, Jon Lavis and Richard Karalus did a terrific job killing a double-minor penalty midway through the second to keep things close. Canisius scored an early goal in the third, grabbing a 2-1 edge. At the halfway point in the third, sophomore forward Jamie Bonn scored a rebound goal off an assist by senior Aiden Abraszek, who gave Iroquois the lead two minutes later. Marshall and Pat Stenzel recorded assists on the

go-ahead marker. Canisius tied the game yet again only seconds later to end the scoring. The Chiefs’ next game is at 9 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 22) at the Cheektowaga Recreation Center against Cheektowaga.

Skretny signs with Hobart for lacrosse By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Tyler Skretny is looking forward to playing his senior lacrosse season at West Seneca East distraction-free. The defender ensured that fate Monday morning (Nov. 17), when he signed a commitment to Hobart, where he’ll play Division I lacrosse. “I’m looking forward to having fun and doing my thing out there, and hopefully I’ll get better as the season goes on,” Skretny said of how he plans to approach his final season with the Trojans. “There will be less distractions on the field and you can go out and play your game.” Skretny has actually been verbally committed to the Geneva — Finger Lakes region — school since February, even before his junior lacrosse season. The senior is a true lockdown defender, and

was honored as such this past year as a first teamAll-CPOWNY performer. “It’s a little bit of an overwhelming feeling but it’s also a satisfactory feeling, as well, just signing the paperwork and finalizing everything I have worked so hard for,” Skretny said. Skretny plans to major in biology and assume a minor in health professions. He visited the Hobart campus in March, but will take an official trip next month. Hobart is coming off a 5-10 campaign, but the Statesmen did make a run to the Northeast Conference championship game, losing to nationally ranked Bryant. It was a young roster in 2014, and Skretny believes in what is being built there. He’ll get his first taste of collegiate lacrosse in 2016. “Hobart won me over with its overall campus feeling and team vibe,” Skretny said. “They have a very good coaching staff, a young staff that knows what they are talking about. The players that are coming in, they are getting some big-time recruits. I wanted to be part of a program that was going to continue to strive to be the best program that it could be.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

now. “People are really friendly here, and that’s what helped me adjust,” Arzaga said. “Swimming also helped. The girls were my rock, especially this year.” Kwasniewski was an AllECIC second teamer in 2014, batting over .300 in division action. The senior was recruited as a third baseman, but he said versatility is key in earning field time. That won’t pose a problem for the multitalented Kwasniewski. “Versatility is a big thing for

college baseball,” Kwasniewski said. “They bring in a lot of people, so they told me I could play anywhere. As long as I’m not catching — I’m not good at catching.” Kwasniewski gained plenty of exposure playing for the East Coast Grays, a national travel team, this past summer. Post coach Ray Ricker, who has been courting Kwasniewski since his junior year, was able to get a final look at Kwasniewski with the Grays in a summer tournament in Georgia.

Anya Arzaga officially signed her letter of intent to swim for Division I Binghamton.

“I’m beyond excited about it,” said Kwasniewski, who will major in legal studies as he begins his pursuit of a career as a lawyer. “I should have a chance to start my freshman year. I’m excited about that. It’s a great school with a great team. It’s always been my goal to play college baseball, and now it finally came true.” In Sokolski, Nyack is getting an outfielder with a hose for an arm who will be a four-time starter with the Chiefs come spring.

He holds a career batting average of .341 and has led Iroquois in homers, triples and RBIs each of the last two years.

Under-the-radar West aims for another strong season of indoor

By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

Most of Section VI may not know what the West Seneca West boys indoor track and field team has in its 4x400meter relay. But the Indians sure do, and that’s a very realistic opportunity to qualify for states later in the season, which kicks off Dec. 5 when the boys and girls squads compete in a meet at SUNY Buffalo State. Outside the walls of West, the 4x400 relay squad isn’t seen as high-end simply because half of the potential lineup doesn’t have an indoor background. Seniors Austin Ensminger and John Gorman, who normally swim in the winter, were recruited to join indoor. They were persuaded by the tall, yet reachable, aspirations. Senior Robbie Frazer, a staple on the relay team, did much of the courting as he views the door to states as wide open. And it’s not like Ensminger and Gorman don’t have experience in the sport — they run track in the spring. Indians coach Emilio Mancino even said Ensminger is one of the faster quarter-milers West has. Sophomore Parker Welling and freshman Peter Borzillieri, who dominated in sprints at the middle school level in outdoor

last spring, round out the handful of boys that will vie for the four spots. “Nobody really expects much from us, so it’s going to be exciting,” Frazer said. Mancinco has a good problem on his hands with the depth. It gives him options. The fifth racer, at the least, will provide West with a highly talented alternate. “All of us are good friends and have known each other for awhile so we have really good chemistry,” Frazer said. “With three of us being seniors I think it would be cool going out senior year at states. We have big goals on our mind. We’re looking to break the school record and hopefully make it to states.” The results throughout last wintertime won’t show the names of Ensminger or Gorman, and in Mancino’s mind that’s advantageous to West’s quest. There is a confidence among the five-person group that isn’t widely shared necessarily. That’s just how Mancino would plan it, if given the choice. “They know that they can do it, they know they have the ability to do it,” Mancino said of qualifying for states. “I don’t think the rest of the section realizes what’s there because they don’t know some of those boys. “I prefer those types of positions — to be the hunter instead of the hunted.” In total, the boys team has 38 athletes, the most West has held in a few years. Junior Carson Tenhagen, who is one of the top cross country

athlete for the Indians, will factor largely into the distance events this winter. The throwing side holds a host of newcomers to the varsity scene. Brian Kader coaches the throwers. “We’re going to be inexperienced in the throws, but there is some ability there,” Mancino said. The girls are looking for their first Section VI title since 2011. The Lady Indians are consistently among the top three in the section, and Mancino thinks this year will be no different despite a young team. Of the 35-girl roster, 26 have yet to hit their junior years. The sophomore class (15) is the heaviest. But there is enough experience and capability to go around in the group. “They are young, but there is definite talent,” Mancino said. “Probably the overriding factor there is every single one of them is a hard worker. “Out of all those sophomores, there isn’t one of them you could look at and say she is not going to give you everything she has. That’s an important attribute to have — that you are going to get someone’s ‘A’ game every time.” Sophomore Emily Marchitte is back after going to states in the triple jump last season. She’ll primarily focus on jumps, but will also compete in sprint races. Emma Harris is a top-10 hurdler in the area, according to Mancino. Junior Nicole Torres gives the Lady Indians a formidable 1-2 punch in the hurdles.

SeniorAngela Johnson, freshman Breanna Lambert and eighth graderAlexis Zsiros will also give West some strength in the sprints. The 4x800 and 4x200 relay teams are expected to be competitive, Mancino said, with the former squad having a shot at states. Cross country standoutsAnna Rybczynski (eighth grader) and Jordan Hauser (sophomore) are incumbents to the 4x800 quartet, as they are to be joined by sophomore Ashley Dibble, who is transitioning from long sprints to short distance runs. Junior Shania LiVecchi, who competed at the cross country state championships two weeks ago, is the lead candidate to fill out the team. The 4x200 squad has won sectional patches each of the last few seasons, and it is on pace to do so once again. The anticipated runners on the team are Torres, Harris, Marchitte and Zsiros. Weight throwing is set to be a New York State-sanctioned event for the first time, and Mancino considers Alyse Murray to be one of the best in Western New York. It creates an interesting dynamic for the season as Murray strives to be one of the first to represent Section VI in the weight throw at states. Youthful or not, nothing should change for the West girls in 2014-15. “The girls are competitive all the time,” Mancino said. “It’s great to see that. They seem to just reload instead of rebuild.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

West grad averaged 281 kills per season Muckdogs to host private tryouts “Nowak” from page 5

The Immaculata graduate who attended West Elementary and West Middle, also served up 15 aces. It was the second straight season she did that after recording just one ace in her first two years. In addition to remaining a consistent offensive force her whole career — she averaged 281 kills per season en route to 1,124 total — Nowak took on more of a guidance role this season. The Wildcats, really, were in need of a player to do that

due to 12 of the roster’s 17 players being either freshmen or sophomores. Who better to show younger players the ropes than an All-American? The youth and relative inexperience was a dynamic Nowak hadn’t seen much at Daemen, as the program went 76-35 her first three years with it. Nowak is optimistic about the Wildcats going forward, though, as they are set to jump from the USCAA to

the NCAA next year. And she will have lent a hand in any advancement they display. “It was an interesting experience,” Nowak said. “It’s never fun to lose, but we never had any resentment or drama. A lot of players progressed by the end of the season, which shows a lot of promise for next year. It was really cool to teach them, and leave that sort of commitment level to the team.”

Nowak put the finishing touches on a decorated career two weeks ago, and she said the decision to attend and play at Daemen was one with no flaws. The hardware is tough to argue with. “It just seemed like a good fit,” Nowak said. “I love the program I’m in, the team, the coaches. Everything worked out really well. I just wanted to continue playing and I found a program that’s successful.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

Jackson family shows support for D3 athlete with cancer By Tom Gallagher SPORTS EDITOR

Bills running back Fred Jackson stood at his locker Nov. 17 at One Bills Drive wearing a gray t-shirt that read “D3 Nation” across the chest. D3 Nation, of course, is the organization Jackson created to help “strengthen bonds and foster pride among Division III athletes,” according to D3Nation.com. Having played football for a D-III program at Coe College, from where he graduated in 2003, Jackson has long been connected to to Division III athletics. That connection factored into his decision to visit Mount St. Joseph University during the Bills’ bye week a few weeks ago. Jackson, along with his wife, Danielle, and their four children, visited the Division III school to see women’s basketball player Lauren Hill play her very first game at the collegiate level. Hill, a freshman for the Lions, has inoperable brain cancer. And on Nov. 2 — almost an entire year after she was diagnosed and told she’d

COURTESY OF THE BUFFALO BILLS

Bills running back Fred Jackson visited Mount St. Joseph women’s basketball player Lauren Hill, who has cancer, during a game on Nov. 2. have two years to live — Jackson was in Cincinnati to see her score four points in a Mount St. Joseph victory. The ninth-year NFL veteran said that he admired the passion that Hill exhibited for the game in carrying out her dream despite her condition. “For her, all she wanted to do was be a competitor and play basketball,” Jackson said. “I know how that feels, to just

want a chance to do it. That’s all she wanted and it was something that I respected. “We heard her story and the bye week was perfect that we were able to go. So we decided to go down and show our support.” While in Ohio, the Jackson family got a chance to meet Hill, who wears the same number as Fred — 22. And it turned out that she shared more

than just a number with him. Both know what it means to overcome adversity and long odds to live out their dreams. Jackson said it was inspiring to meet her. “She’s a fighter. A competitor,” Jackson said. “She’s someone who just wants to be out there. I was extremely excited to meet her and her family. “She can inspire not only people in Buffalo, but a lot of people. She’s just that kind of person. She wants to live her dream, and who doesn’t?” Jackson, who heard of Hill’s story through Twitter, Facebook and just “being a Division III athlete” himself, couldn’t take all of the credit for the Jackson family’s trip to see Hill. He said that his wife deserved much of the credit for organizing the trip and setting up the meeting. The Jackson family has never shied away from giving back to the Buffalo community, and Fred said that extending their reach beyond the borders of Western New York is something they’ve wanted to do. “We have an opportunity as professional athletes, we can reach a lot of people and

that’s something I always want to do,” he said. “[Hill’s] story was one that I wanted to put out there, not for myself, but for everybody to hear about different people that are going through different struggles.” The Associated Press reported on Nov. 18 that Hill was unlikely to play in another basketball game. So far, a Layup4Lauren challenge has raised more than $324,000 for research of the cancer that will shorten Hill’s life. Jackson said he and his family plan to add to that total. ••• Having dropped each of their past two games since the bye week, the Bills’ playoff hopes have taken a bit of a hit recently. They’re looking to end their two-game skid and improve to 6-5 when they take on the New York Jets Monday (Nov. 24). The game was originally slated to be played Sunday at Ralph Wilson Stadium, but the inclement weather Western New Yorkers have faced of late forced officials’ hands in postponing the game to Monday at Ford Field in Detroit, where the Bills won a 17-14 decision against the Lions back on Oct. 5.

The Bills beat the Jets (28) in a 43-23 shellacking in which they had six takeaways back on Oct. 26 — their last win. But they’ve since fallen to third place in the AFC East after losses to Kansas City and Miami. Jackson said he and his teammates aren’t going to mail it in despite their fall in the standings. “The season’s not over, but we have to play better to get to where we want to be,” he said. “Plain and simple. If we don’t do that, we’re going to be looking at another season wondering what happened.” Improving in the standings means getting by not just the Jets, but fellow AFC opponents Cleveland (6-4) on Nov. 30 and Denver (7-3) on Dec. 7 over the next few weeks. The Bills also have games remaining against Green Bay, New England and Oakland. “We still have six games left. We’re not going to come in here and [mail] it in. We can’t do that. The guys in the locker room will not allow ourselves to do that.” Kickoff is at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on CBS.

Rod, Gun & Game: Chilly opening day for WNY deer season By Forrest Fisher OUTDOOR COLUMNIST

Last Saturday, opening day of big game firearm season in NYS, temperatures in the southern tier hills of Western New York fell far below the freezing mark as they hit 18 and 19 degrees. In valley areas, the northwest wind of 10 to 20 miles per hour brought out the hand warmers, long johns and pull-over hats in high visibility orange color as standard gear for several hundred thousand hunters that take to the NYS woods every year on opening day. For some that came less than well-prepared with “keepwarm” gear, the walk into the woods and back to the car or deer camp cabin did not take very long. I hunted in Wildlife Management Unit 9W near Friendship, New York, with my 13 year-old grandson alongside sharing in the heritage of the opening day hunting experience. We whispered back and forth to each other, trying to not think about just exactly how cold the chill factor actually was, but I was shivering after 3 hours. We were in an elevated tree stand (weather-unprotected), safely tethered to a sturdy

hickory tree, so we were experiencing the full brunt of the frigid breeze. With four inches of crunchy snow on the ground helping the visibility for all opening day hunters, we counted about a half-dozen gunshot sounds before the official sunrise moment to underscore the easy viewing. Then from sunrise through 8:00 a.m., we noted about 40 or 50 more shots in the distances from our location. At least some folks were seeing deer! When your tree stand happens to be in a non-deer location, the cold seems colder, the wind seems windier and the time seems to pass very slowly, but there are other things about nature to take stock in. Hunting is not really all about killing deer, it’s also about sharing time with friends and family, watching nature at work, understanding heritage and history, home cooked meals, camp coffee and honest time away from the e-link we all have these days. We watched three flocks of snow geese soar high above as they flew past our tree stand heading southward, a while later we watched several black squirrels scamper about in their treasure hunt for a breakfast of beech nuts and white oak acorns, and there

FORREST FISHER

Opening weekend for deer season in WNY was successful for happy hunter, Dieter Voss, an East Aurora resident, who braved the chilly weather to find this handsome 8-point buck in the hills near Colden. were blue jays, partridge, and an assortment of other small birds that are wintering over with us, working their way through the day to stay warm and comfortable. There was a wonderful ambience of harmony among wildlife in the woods. At our camp, nine hunters from as far away as Florida (Jeff Liebler), joined bantering friendship forces on this

opening weekend. None of us was lucky enough to see or score on a deer. Other nearby deer camp groups did harvest deer, as their location was perfect for the moving deer when opening day sunrise occurred. Yes, there is some degree of location luck to be sure! Hot locations are largely based on available food sources for the doe deer (females), and when the rut is peaking - like it did

this past weekend, the bucks will be near the does that are near the prime available food sources. Food plot hunters scored big. Dieter Voss, an East Aurora resident, hunted from his 16foot fixed tree stand in the Colden hills near a familiar deer trail with access to a large, cold-weather food plot, and was among the successful scores of NYS deer hunters. Voss used a 12-guage Remington 870 shotgun and old-style, non-sabotted, foster slugs, to down a handsome 8-point buck at only about 20 yards. Voss had seen this same deer twice during the archery season and admitted, “My heart was pounding so fast, I was not sure I could get the fingers in my two-layer gloves ready to take an effective shot in time when the deer stopped in my narrow shooting lane. I was able to regain my calm to make a good shot, but right after that, I think my heart rate must have been wild! The deer fell only a few yards away. I waited 30 minutes before going down and suddenly, I was not cold anymore!” The big buck was only the second deer that Voss has taken with a firearm in his eight years of firearm hunt-

ing, he scored on a doe last year in the same approximate location, but he says, “I really enjoy the warmer weather of archery season.” Voss has scored on three deer with his bow, adding, “Hunting for deer, especially with a bow, is so relaxing. Just getting out there to see the wildlife we always can watch even when the deer don’t show up is great.” Voss teaches high school in Tonawanda. A short trip to the NYSDEC Deer Check Station in Holland provided much information about the deer, including that it was 3-1/2 years old and weighed approximately 190 pounds field dressed. DEC wildlife biologist, Emilio Rende, said the deer had also sustained several old wounds on his neck from fighting other bucks earlier in the season. In his always friendly and jovial voice tone, Rende added, “We collected data on about 75 deer for opening day Saturday and about that same number for Sunday, making it a typical and successful opening day weekend for WNY.” One thing for everyone in the community to remember, deer hunters make our roadways safer for travel for all of us every hunting season. Not everyone can do it. Thank a deer hunter today!

Hilbert’s Reinholz named AMCC’s Runner of the Year By Aaron Garland SPORTS REPORTER

For most of her life, Kylie Reinholz was obsessed with basketball. She was all about the sport. It led her to attending Nichols, where she played on the girls varsity team all four of her years there, becoming the school’s fifth all-time leading scorer (1,193). It led her to Buffalo State, where she played a season before transferring to Hilbert. And of course, Reinholz, an Orchard Park resident, played basketball for the Hawks as a sophomore last winter. But that’s where it ends. Reinholz said she likely isn’t going to continue on the court this season. Something else came up. And that something is running.

Earlier this month, Reinholz, now a junior at Hilbert, was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Year. The announcement came after Reinholz won an AMCC individual title Nov. 1, and a season after she was the conference’s Newcomer of the Year. The grandeur of the accolades is enhanced when it’s found that those are the only two years Reinholz has ever run cross country. And she’s become addicted enough to it to forego playing basketball. The junior ran at NCAA Division III Mideast Regionals Saturday (Nov. 15) in Newville, Pennsylvania, placing 78th out of 370 (24:02.40). That ended Reinholz’ cross country season, but her success extended it well into the beginning of

basketball. She’s ready to fully commit to her newfound niche, even if it means leaving an old one behind. “It’s just a transition,” Reinholz said. “There was a part of my life that I loved basketball, but now that love has transitioned to running. It’s kind of filled the void. I don’t even really miss it so much just because I’m so preoccupied with running.” Reinholz won two other races this season in addition to her conference championship, which she earned by posting a time of 24:21 at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. The originality of cross country and the late exposure to it has Reinholz wanting more. The race-to-race timecutting element that drives high school runners to get better, Reinholz is only starting to experience now.

In 2013, her first year in the sport, it took her some time to learn the lingo she’d hear in practice. She’d be told to run “a 400,” but didn’t know far that was, or in what unit it was. When it was time to do a “tempo run” workout, she wasn’t sure what needed to be done. But as she’s learned the particulars of cross country, she’s found it increasingly thrilling. And she’s soaring, which only feeds a growing interest. “Because I didn’t do it in high school it almost made me more into it, just being a newcomer to the sport,” Reinholz said. “I was so excited to be running. In the beginning you always shave off a lot of time quickly, so to be able to do so well so fast is addicting. You just want to keep getting better and train harder — to progress.”

The ascendance to the top of the conference didn’t entirely come out of nowhere. Sure, the cross country thing is new, although the results suggest otherwise, but running is not. A few summers ago, Reinholz began running with her father, John Reinholz, who is a 20-plus-year triathlon veteran. That summer, Reinholz ran three or four times a week on top of biking and swimming sessions as she would complete five triathlons. John Reinholz’ background in running had never really rubbed off on Kylie Reinholz until then. John Reinholz actually coached his daughter on some basketball teams through the years. But the allure of distance running illuminated the more Kylie Reinholz did it. When she made the transfer to Hilbert and found out it had a cross country program,

Reinholz was ready to run competitively. She had the required durability and mental fortitude. “I was in pretty good condition for running,” Reinholz said. “I’m more of a distance, endurance kind of person. “I didn’t know what to expect at all, but it was definitely a surprise to me, and I think my whole family. They were so used to me always focusing on basketball growing up. They were as surprised as I was that I found success.” Reinholz may have discovered cross country late, but it’s not going anywhere. “I am so lucky because running is a sport for life,” Reinholz said. “Even when you’re out of college and not on a team it is something you can always do on your own. It’s a lifelong sport that I’ll be able to do.” Twitter: @Garland_SUN

State funding to support School Resource Officer programs

Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma) said funds included in this year’s New York State budget are supporting new and existing School Resource Officer (SRO) programs in more than a dozen schools in his 59th Senate district. The program brings local schools and law enforcement agencies together to promote school safety and crime prevention. “As a former State Trooper and Sheriff of Erie County, I have great respect for law enforcement officers and the positive impact they can have in our schools. In addition to offering security, the officers work closely with school administrators to promote positives relations and conflict resolution,” Gallivan said. Gallivan, Chair of the Senate Committee on Crime, Crime Victims and Corrections, has secured funding to support nine SRO programs covering 13 school districts, including West Seneca Central where officials announced details of the program Monday. “We were delighted to learn that the West Seneca Central School District’s School Resource Officer Program is going to receive $25,000 through the staunch advocacy of Senator Gallivan. Like other districts in financial stress, we appreciate every opportunity to support District programming, particularly in this case, as the West Seneca Police Department and the

Amanda Hansen from Page 1

Since the day Hansen and his wife lost their daughter Amanda to CO poisoning when she stayed overnight at a friend’s house, the family has made it their mission to ensure that no one suffers a loss like this ever again. Hansen and Kearns will now be distributing surveys and information to find out which residents are in need of furnaces and CO detectors. Once they receive the documents, they will then decide who is eligible. “Recently, the Westside Housing Coalition told us about a person that needed PHOTO SUBMITTED a furnace desperately,” said Senator Gallivan announces funding for the West Seneca SRO program Hansen. “We looked at it and alongside Supervisor Sheila Meegan, West Seneca School Superintendent saw that it was really bad. It was 40 years old and the Dr. Mark Crawford and West Seneca Police Chief Daniel Denz. vents alone had rust holes in it. We knew we had to get

West Seneca Schools enjoy a remarkably strong relationship. Clearly, our SRO Program is a benefit to both our students and our staff members,” said West Seneca Superintendent Dr. Mark Crawford. Under the program, five West Seneca police officers provide SRO services to the district’s ten school buildings. “State support for our SRO program is critical. We need

to do all we can to make sure West Seneca schools are a place where students, faculty and staff feel safe and secure. This program represents a wonderful partnership between the state, the town and our school district,” said West Seneca Supervisor Sheila Meegan. SRO programs are also being funded at Iroquois Central, North Collins Central, Springville-Griffith Schools,
