When it comes to the typical fundraisers, the STARRC Raving Mad House isn’t it. In the true spirit of the Halloween season, it promises all the fun terror that goes along with haunted houses, ghostly apparitions, and more than a few knife-wielding madmen. Even the most stubbornly unfl appable person won’t make it through the haunted house without their heart missing a few beats, and not only is it a fun time for adults, children and entire families, but it’s all for a good cause.

“All proceeds go directly to the church,” says Charles Lambert, one of the founders of the haunted house. “We’re the fall fundraiser for them.”

And it’s one of the church’s buildings that has been transformed into a celebration of Halloween and all that’s ghostly and ghoulish. Located on the corner of Gierlach and Crocker, dedicated and hard-working volunteers have put in some long hours to turn the St. Andrews Church Building #1 into one of the area’s most fun haunted houses.

Comptroller Mychajliw kicks offCostumes for a Cause Campaign

Erie County Comptrol-ler Stefan Mychajliw was joined by a “tri-partisan” group of elected offi cials to kick off the “Costumes for a Cause” charitable initiative. The program gives children in need free Halloween costumes for Trick-or-Treating.

The costume collec-tions begin now and end Wednesday, Oct. 22. For one week (Thursday, Oct. 23 through Thursday, Oct. 30) children and their families will be able to se-lect a free Halloween cos-tume at the Seneca Bab-cock Community Center, 1168 Seneca St., Buffalo.

“This effort is near and dear to my heart. Growing up poor near William and Fillmore, I understand how tough it is for fami-lies to make ends meet. My siblings and I grew up without a lot. Now we have an opportunity to

help show that we are the ‘City of Good Neighbors.’ It is great to have local leaders from all parties come together for a great cause,” Mychajliw said.

Joining the Erie County Comptroller in this “tri-partisan” charitable effort is New York State Senator Timothy M. Kennedy (D), New York State Assem-blyman Michael P. Kearns (D), Erie County Legisla-tor Joseph C. Lorigo (C), and Cheektowaga Coun-cilwoman Diane Bencz-kowski (D).

“These children deserve to enjoy Halloween just like everyone else. Any help we can give them really helps make the holiday special,” Senator Kennedy said.

“Giving children a chance to enjoy Hallow-een is certainly not a par-tisan issue. We can all get behind our community’s

kids,” Assemblyman Ke-arns said.

“As public servants, we have a unique opportunity to give back to our com-munities. This campaign for kids is something truly special and I’m honored to be a part of it,” Legislator Lorigo said.

“All of us involved were elected to help people. There’s nothing like the feeling you get from lend-ing a hand to young people in need,” Councilwoman Benczkowski said.

“It’s refreshing to be able to put politics aside and join together for such a phenomenal cause. I know the children are ex-tremely grateful to live in such a generous commu-nity,” Legislator Burke said.

New and gently used costumes are being ac-cepted at multiple drop-off points during regular busi-

ness hours, including:•District Offi ce of NYS

When the Hearthstone Manor closed in March, it left a huge void in the community. Gone was the location of almost fi ve decades of wedding receptions, banquets, fundraisers and corporate events.

Fortunately, the banquet facility that has formed the backbone of so many memories isn’t gone anymore – it’s just getting an update and a new look under the watchful eye of new owners.

After several months of renovations that include a new entrance, an updated lobby, offi ces and bathrooms and an overhaul to the signature ballrooms, The Grapevine Banquets opened their doors and began taking on the same kinds of clients that had been served faithfully by Hearthstone for years.

Their offi cial ribbon-cutting ceremony will be

The Grapevine Banquet opens its doors

held from 8 to 10 p.m. on Monday, October 20, at the 333 Dick Rd. location; owner Liza Pane is looking forward to showing everyone what they’ve done with the place.

For her, it’s the culmination of a lifelong dream. She and her husband Tom have long been the owner-operators of The Grapevine Restaurant on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst, and they’ve always enjoyed the intense, high-maintenance business. But for Liza, there’s always been a desire to add an independent banquet facility.

In fact, when they went to tour the Hearthstone when it went up for sale, she knew it was meant to be. There’s a phone booth there, and it’s the same one she once used to call her mother in 1985, when she told her her that someday, she wanted to own a facility just like this one.

It’s gone full circle, and now, it’s hers.

“I’ve always loved serving at weddings and large events,” she says. “I love people, and I love giving them the chance to attend a party without having to worry about all the logistics. I want them to just be able to go out, have fun, and make some incredible memories.”

The Grapevine truly is a family business. Liza and Tom are leaving their original restaurant in the capable hands of their daughters, who grew up in the business and learned it from the ground up. They began by cleaning and busing tables, and now, they’re following in their parents’ footsteps. Their son has also grown up in the business, and now, he’s leaning toward the fi nancial side of things. Liza says that being able to create such an atmosphere that’s not only a place for everyone in the community but a place to raise her family has been one of the greatest gifts

she could get. The Grapevine has been

the exclusive caterer to The Ellicott Creek Banquet Facility, and now, they’re getting the chance to do it from start to fi nish on their own. They’re already taking bookings for the coming year, and they’re grateful for a community that has greeted them with open arms.

For Liza, it’s a dream come full circle. When she heard about Hearthstone being up for sale and then started getting texts and phone calls from friends, family and customers telling her that she needed to look into purchasing the building and taking over from the Western New York landmark, she knew that it was meant to be.

For more information on their catering and banquet facilities – along with their restaurant – visit grapevinerestaurant.com. To make reservations or to arrange a tour of the new facility, call 391-1895.

Plan to raise elected offi cials

salaries not supportedRecently the Citizens Sal-

ary Review Commission released its report, calling for salary increases for the county executive, comptrol-ler, sheriff and clerk. It was the fi rst report since 2004 and analyzed the fact that elected offi cials’ salaries hadn’t been raised since 1996.

I think the Commission did a thorough job and I want to thank the members for the time they committed to creating their recommen-dations. The total increase would be $77,305 annually and the commission said the increases would bring Erie County on par with compa-rable counties. The follow-ing increases were recom-mended: county executive - $103,248 to $126,400, a 22 percent increase; sheriff - $79,092 to $102,400, a 29 percent increase; comptrol-ler - $80,613 to $98,750, a 22 percent increase; and the clerk - $79,092 to $91,800, a 16 percent increase. It was recommended that the leg-islators’ salaries remain the same.

After the report was re-leased, I joined my col-leagues in the Majority Cau-cus in issuing a statement that we opposed the rec-ommendations and that we would vote against increases. I believe that now is not the appropriate time to raise elected offi cials’ salaries. While I believe there is some merit to certain points made in the report, my decision to not raise the salaries is be-cause of the taxpayers who would fund them.

I have met many families who are struggling, making the same wage they have for

years because our local econ-omy is not strong. Businesses are fi ghting to stay open and as a result, workers are im-pacted. I have also met many residents who were forced to switch jobs, start over and take a cut in pay just to fi nd work. Right now, to raises the salaries of elected of-fi cials would be imprudent. We pay some of the highest taxes in the country and Erie County’s economy continues to struggle. A recent report on poverty shows we have a long way to go to recover. Right now, elected offi cials should not receive a salary increase.

Many residents have reached out to me, voicing their opinion about this top-ic. To date, everyone I have heard from opposes the rais-es. The Legislature’s Majori-ty Caucus wants to ensure we provide ample opportunity for residents to weigh in be-fore we vote. A public forum will be held soon to provide residents that platform. As soon as the date and location are fi nalized, we will be an-nouncing the details. You can also send your comments to me at [email protected] or directly to the Clerk of the Legislature at 92 Frank-lin St., Buffalo, NY 14202, where they will be part of the offi cial record.

If you have any questions about the Citizens Salary Review Commission’s rec-ommendations or another county matter, please contact me at 858-8856.

A Democrat supporting OrttRecently there has been

a series of letters in sev-eral newspapers in sup-port of Johnny Destino for State Senate. Their general theme has been guilt by association of Rob Ortt because he is a republican. The letters mention the “debacle in Lockport,” Steve Rich-ards, and George Mazi-arz’s resignation, yet they fail to mention the halting of the campaign investi-gation of irregularities by the democrats Cuomo and Schneiderman. The let-ters say they’re not “anti-Ortt.” Oh Well! The infer-

ence is that we should be suspicious and question Ortt’s integrity, yet they fail to mention Ortt’s mili-tary service to his country in defense of our freedom. Nor do they mention Des-tino’s change of party af-fi liation to suit his politi-cal aspirations.

In another letter some of the Republican Party’s chairmen mention the tax rate in North Tonawanda versus Lockport and Niag-ara Falls, but fail to com-pare the progress that has been made under Ortt’s leadership. Nor did they mention the life support

the city of Niagara Falls is on from the casino, or that Lockport needs to borrow money to provide standard civic services. One of the non-mentions is that Destino has never governed anything, as has Ortt, but they convenient-ly omit that. Another letter alludes to Destino’s sup-port of education. While I’m sure that Destino is good man, I don’t know where it’s said that being a supporter of education is what qualifi es one for leadership at the state sen-ate level.

Lastly, it would be to-

tally naïve to think that if the democrats gain control of the senate, in addition to the assembly that they already basically own, that it won’t affect what upstate and Western New York receive in fi nancial assistance from state gov-ernment.

I’m a life-long demo-crat, but this time I have to think of what I be-lieve is best for my home and community, and that means supporting Rob Ortt for state senate.

Girl Scouts of WNY to host career exploration event for girls Nov. 8

Whether she wants to be a doctor, a lawyer, a reporter, a teacher, an accountant – every girl has the right to not only dream, but to learn how she can achieve her goal of whatever career she as-pires to. The “I Can Be” Career Day event hosted Saturday, Nov. 8 by Girl Scouts of Western New York will help girls do just that.

Approximately 30 fe-male volunteers will lead sessions on various indus-tries including health care, education, engineering, journalism, law, social work, fi nance and more.

Girls who register will submit their top career paths prior to the event and, based on their pref-erences, will be put into workshops.

Girls will have the

chance to go to four dif-ferent workshops lasting approximately 40 minutes to learn about different ca-reer paths.

In each workshop, girls will receive an introduc-tion from the female leader. They’ll be able to participate in a hands-on activity that relates to the specifi c fi eld, and then time will be available for a question-and-answer session.

Girls who participate will receive a patch.

“We are honored that professional women vol-unteers will share their ca-reer journeys and conduct interactive modules with our girls, to inspire and educate them on how to make an informed choice about their future careers. Girls demand activities that are experience based.

They want to learn by do-ing, even when it relates to emotional issues that they can share with other girls, according to the Girl Scout Research Institute,” said Cindy L. Odom, chief executive offi cer of Girl Scouts of Western New York.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sat-urday, Nov. 8 at Villa Ma-ria College in Buffalo.

The cost is $10 for reg-istered Girl Scouts. Girls who are not yet registered may participate in this event by paying the $15 Girl Scout of the USA reg-istration fee and the $10 program fee. The deadline to register is Thursday, Oct. 23.

Broadway Joe’s is about to be hit with some “Bad Luck” as the band makes their way to Buffalo from Daytona Beach, Fla. on Oct. 28 to open for Old Again and Let It Happen.

The rock band consists of brothers Dom and Joe Fox and their friends Evan Blaine and Jake Kneer, and they’ll all excited to return to Buffalo. Their first visit took place this past July, when the band performed at the same venue for about 15 to 20 fans.

“Some of the kids sang along and the place itself was sweet. We’re happy to be back, especially as soon as we are,” Dom Fox said.

“Had not being in Buffa-lo before we had no expec-tations,” Fox continued. A friend who lives in town brought the band to the waterfront, showed them the military boats at the harbor and bubbles that are blown out of a window on Elmwood Avenue. “It

was one of our favorite places to go, we had a lot

Bad Luck to perform at Broadway Joe’s.

Bad Luck returns to Buffalo

of fun. The wings were re-ally good, too.”

Bad Luck is excited to come back to Buffalo dur-ing their current 14-date tour, hoping to perform for a larger crowd this time around. They have two new songs in their six-song set, along with two new shirts available to purchase. Their set be-gins at 5:30 p.m. at Broad-way Joe’s, located at 3051 Main St. in Buffalo.

“Our band is very wel-coming in terms of people being part of our music, singing along, dancing and being into the music,” Fox said. “We encourage peo-ple to come.”

Bad Luck is signed to Tragic Hero Records and just released a 40-minute documentary online of the recording process for their CD, “Cold Bones.”

“My friend Austin from New York is a very good videographer and docu-mented our process of be-ing in Cleveland, going in to record our first al-bum,” Fox said. “We like stuff like that, visual stuff. I think we’re going to do it each time we record.”

In celebration of the Day of the Dead, Reinstein Woods is taking the opportunity to help Western New Yorkers explore our connection with Mexico.

Traditionally, the Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday observed from October 31 to November 2. It honors the family’s ancestors, and has been traced back – through different forms – nearly 3,000 years. It’s thought that the idea of a holiday dedicated to honoring the dead began with the Aztecs, and has since become a long festival with certain times devoted to honoring deceased elders, children taken too early, and the one-a-year visitation from the souls of our loved ones.

We also obviously have our own spooky holiday at the end of October, but the educational staff at Reinstein Woods are taking this opportunity to

Explore our connections with Mexico

share just what else we have in common with our southern neighbors – the Monarch butterfl y.

“The Monarch butterfl y is closely tied with the lore of the area,” says Meaghan Boice-Green from Reinstein Woods. “It’s believed that the return of the Monarchs is the returning of the souls of the dead.”

Every year, the Monarch butterfl ies make their epic journey from their summer homes in Western New York to their wintering grounds in Mexico. Usually, they’ve completed the journey by the fi rst few days in November, coinciding with the Day of the Dead celebration.

It’s an unbelievably long journey for such tiny creatures, and while there’s not much that’s more breathtaking than an entire group of monarchs making the long fl ight, numbers of the butterfl y are dwindling – especially here. Fewer and fewer have successfully made the trip over the last years,

and that’s a major concern. Butterfl ies rely on

native plants, fl owers and grasses to survive – especially on milkweed. It’s only on milkweed that their caterpillars will feed, and with the clearing of wild land, the milkweed population is disappearing.

For butterfl ies, that means that every time they return to Western New York, they fi nd fewer and fewer places to call home for the summer. And, in turn, fewer and fewer of their souls return to Mexico in time for the Day of the Dead.

That means the Day of the Dead is a perfect opportunity for Reinstein Woods. From 10:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 1, they’ll be holding an educational program that explores the life’s journey of the Monarch butterfl y. Registration is required, so call 683-5959 to sign up.

“It’s the perfect chance for us to teach people a little bit about a different culture, what animals mean to them and how we’re all connected,” says Boice-Green. “We’re also going to be telling people what they can do to help the Monarchs, and keep the cycle going.”

St. Patrick’s Church helps raise money for breast cancer research

If you happened to drive by St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church any time between Oct. 12 and Oct. 18, you likely took notice of the hot pink fl ags on their lawn. That’s because the congregation of St. Pat-rick’s joined with other Episcopal congregation across Western New York to raise money for breast cancer research at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo.

St. Patrick’s collected $130. For every $5 do-nated, the church received three fl ags. Members who donated had the option of writing the name of a loved one or friend whose life was touched by breast cancer on their fl ags be-fore the fl ags were placed outside.

“The parishioners of St. Patrick’s have unfor-tunately dealt with breast cancer much too often, so this was a particularly per-sonal fund-raiser for our small parish. We have had no less than eight parishio-ners or family members of parishioners affl icted with breast cancer. We may not have raised a lot of money in our parish, but as mem-bers of the diocese, we are part of a larger community that is helping to spread awareness around the seven counties of Western New York and hopefully fund a cure,” said Sally Jakielaszek, warden.

The front lawn of the

Diocesan Ministry Cen-ter at 1064 Brighton Rd. in Tonawanda refl ected the combined efforts of all Episcopal churches in Western New York. There, a total of 3,825 pink fl ags turned the lawn into a sea of pink.

On Friday, Oct. 17, the Right Rev. R. William Franklin presented Ro-swell Park Cancer Institute with a check for $6,375 for breast cancer research. The check represents 100 percent of all donations received.

“It seems fi tting that this donation from our fi rst ever diocesan-wide Health Awareness Week campaign is going to sup-port breast cancer research at Roswell Park. This world-class cancer center was founded by Dr. Ro-swell Park, who was once

a member of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shep-herd in Buffalo.”

Bishop Franklin says the diocese decided to associ-ate its Health Awareness Week with the Feast of St. Luke, which is on Oct. 18th. St. Luke is known in church tradition as the patron saint of physicians and surgeons. In future years, the diocese plans to focus attention on and sup-port other health issues.

St. Patrick’s is located just west of the corner of Dick Road on George Ur-ban Blvd in Cheektowaga. Sunday services take place at 8 and 10 a.m. St. Pat-rick’s members believe God loves everyone, and everyone will fi nd a warm welcome at St. Patrick’s.

If you think back to your fondest childhood memories and most loved toys, chances are, on that list of toys that shaped your childhood will be LEGOs.

That’s why the Anna Reinstein Memorial Library began the LEGO Explorers’ Club for Cheektowaga kids between 6 and 12 years old. The next meeting of the LEGO Club will be from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, and will have a special Halloween theme.

LEGO Club gives kids a chance to explore

The LEGO Explorers Club is all about having fun and capturing the imagination of children in a form that’s all their own to create whatever they want to. Since their inception and development in 1932, LEGOs have been a way for children all over the world to see their dreams come to life.

This will be the second session of the club, and the fi rst was a rousing success.

“One child built a house with a patio and an awning, another built a playground, and another built a jail complete with a watchtower,” says Danielle White. “LEGOs are timeless, because you

can build pretty much anything with them, and you can be as simple or as complex as you want. I think that’s why they appeal to kids of all ages, and adults too! A couple of parents even stayed in the room and built something... and I did, too!”

Some toys are outgrown over the years, shoved in boxes to be forgotten about or, at best, remembered with a certain amount of nostalgic fondness. Other toys, though, can’t help but turn everyone into a child again no matter what their age – and that’s the case with LEGO.

“Being creative with

LEGOs not only provides the opportunity to be creative, but also the chance to be in charge,” White says. “You build something based on how you want it, and how you think it would be best. It’s really fun to see some of the kids problem-solving with their creations.”

We’ve all had fun with LEGO, but what many might not realize is that it’s a family business that has grown to epic proportions over the years. LEGO is the combination of two Danish words, “leg” and “godt”, which translates to “play well”. Founded in 1932, it’s now owned by the third generation of the founding family, and while LEGO is no longer made in a tiny carpenter’s shop, it still manages to maintain the impact on kids of all ages from all over the world – and programs like the LEGO Explorers’ Club are helping to ensure that sense of creativity and not a little bit of ingenuity keeps going.

For the Halloween edition of the club, there will also be a costume contest with treats for all and a special prize for the winner. Those who would like to see their creations preserved for the holiday can opt to have them displayed at the library.

Space is limited and registration is required, so call 892-8089.

Tonawanda no trap for Maryvale: Flyers beat Warriors, await crosstown rival

By Mike PidanickSPORTS REPORTER

It seemed like the per-fect situation for a trap game for Maryvale. With a showdown against rival Cheektowaga Central loom-ing a week away, the Flyers hosted Class B Central rival Tonawanda, a one-win team that has been competitive in just about every game this season.

But Maryvale was in no mood for a letdown. Instead, the Flyers went out and took care of business, posting a 42-6 win over the Warriors on Friday night.

“This was difficult,” Maryvale coach Jeff Buccieri said. “This is Homecoming; there were a lot of distrac-tions. But our guys were hungry from the get-go.”

Six different Flyers scored touchdowns as Maryvale moved to 5-1 overall, 3-1

in Class B Central. The Fly-ers can grab a share of the division title next Friday as they visit fi rst-place Cheek-towaga in what promises to be one of the biggest games in the history of the Maroon Madness rivalry.

But that’s next week and for that game to matter, the Flyers had to win in Week 6 fi rst.

“We take all the teams the same way,” said senior running back and linebacker Brandon Bojanowski, who had a game-high 113 yards on just seven carries. “We just go out in practice and work as hard as possible and take it week-by-week.”

Behind a dominant perfor-mance on the line, the Flyers collected more than 400 total yards of offense, more than 300 of which came on the ground. In all, four Flyers collected more than 50 yards rushing on the evening.

“Great blocking and we Eric Graham had a touchdown pass in Maryvale’s 42-6 victory over Tonawanda.

JEFFREY T. BARNES

had some great runs,” said senior Mike Halferty, who ran for 59 yards and scored Maryvale’s fi rst touchdown. “Everything was working out well, we had some slip ups but we kept our heads up and kept working.”

Meanwhile, Tonawanda (1-5 overall, 0-4 in the division) again proved it will not back down from a tough opponent. The War-riors forced fi ve Maryvale fumbles, recovering two of them and played the Flyers even for most of the fi rst half until a size disadvantage up front proved to be too much to overcome.

“We had the chance to make some plays,” Tonawa-nda coach Rob Gross said. “We got the ball on the ground, we had some re-ceivers open, but we just didn’t connect. We did a nice job but I think their line controlled the second half.”

Bojanowski had the high-

light run of the day, a 74-yard spring down the left sideline in the third quarter, and also added an interception on de-fense and three extra points. Halferty added 63 receiving yards for a total of 122 yards from scrimmage on the day. Fullback Kwaime Davis had 91 yards and a touchdown, Marcus Ford had another 55 yards and a TD and Austin Reamsnyder scored on his only carry of the day from 18 yards away. Eric Graham ran for 22 yards and threw for 71 more, including a nine-yard TD to Drew Crombie. Demonte Chatmon had a pair of sacks on defense.

Ethan Shattuck ran for 27 yards and Austin Henderson contributed 26 more for the Warriors, while Brandon Frye added fi ve receptions for 44 yards from quar-terback Tristan Boling, who scored Tonawanda’s touchdown on a 1-yard fi rst quarter run.

By Gary SteltermannCONTRIBUTOR

L a s t w e e k e n d , t h e NCAAA football team’s hosted the Gowanda Pan-thers at National Overhead Door Field.

The Red Raiders saw plenty of success in the early game of the day. Noah Irby opened the scoring with a fast 25-yard run off-tackle as he ran past Panther de-fenders. Irby also stripped the ball clean from a Panther

ball-carrier and ran it in for a 30-yard touchdown.

Jaxsyn Morris got in the scoring action with a scram-bling 25-yard touchdown of his own. Richie Donohue had a nice 35-yard score to round out the day.

Logan Gray, Isaiah Mack-ey, and Tellyonno Willis had a dominating day as all had multiple unassisted tackles.

The Spartans saw their first loss of the season handed to them in the second game of the day, 27-13.

Jeremy Thompson scored

on a 65-yard reverse call as he broke multiple tackles and raced down the sidelines for the score. Evan Kohr returned a kickoff 55 yards to the house for his fi rst special teams touchdown of the year.

The Spartans fell to 6-1 but are still in fi rst place in the Freshman Division.

The Titans rolled to an easy win with a 34-6 rout over the Panthers. Lebrun Northington showed off his big-play ability once again as he ran in a 55-yard touch-

down. RJ Mack had a good showing of his power and speed as he showed tough running for a 13-yard score.

Carson Harper reeled in four catches for 55 yards, a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. Hard running was seen by both Marlo Johnson and Amir Morris along with strong defensive performances from both.

The Panthers weren’t able to fi nd the end zone until the fi nal play of the game. The Titans improve to 6-1 on the season.

The fi nal game of the day was a battle of unbeatens as the Crusaders took on the Panthers.

It was a one-sided battle for most of the day in favor of the Crusaders. On the fi rst play from scrimmage, Kaizer Acosta took the ball around the right side for a 49-yard touchdown.

Javaughn Williams ran around, over and through Panther defenders as he had three touchdowns on the day, the fi nal being a 59-yarder. CJ Ozolins ran

well and also had a fumble recovery, while Bobby Lo-zada had an interception just before halftime.

The Crusaders improve to 6-0.

NCAAA teams have a combined 18-2 record head-ing into their fi nal regular season games when they host rival South Buffalo in a rematch of their Week 1 battles.

Maryvale’s defense has held opponents to just six points in four of its games.

Flyers’ defense the driving force behind success

By Mike PidanickSPORTS REPORTER

By Mike PidanickSPORTS REPORTER

Shortly after his team was held to just six points and 97 yards of total offense at Maryvale, Tonawanda head coach Rob Gross did not hesitate when asked about the Flyers’ defense.

“They’re one of the best de-fenses in Western New York, there’s no doubt about that,” Gross said after Maryvale’s 42-6 win in Week 6. “The statistics prove that. They’re a strong team and very well-coached.”

The Warriors were the fourth team in Maryvale’s fi rst six weeks to put up exactly six points. A year ago, Maryvale gave up 28.3 points per game — no opponent has come

within 10 points of that this season.

“The defense has defi nitely risen to the challenge for us,” Maryvale coach Jeff Buccieri said.

A whole lot has gone well for Maryvale (5-1 overall, 3-1 in Class B Central) this season but for the Flyers, the success starts on the defensive side of the ball. And while the suc-cess is seen on Friday nights, Maryvale says it starts well before that.

“We work hard in practice and then bring it to the game,” Flyers senior linebacker Mike Halferty said.

And that commitment has been true up and down the roster. As a team, Maryvale has 13 sacks and 28 other tackles for loss, as well as 11 fumble recoveries and six interceptions.

“It’s just hard work, it all starts in practice,” senior defensive back Brandon Bo-jonowski said. “After the play, we let it go and move on to

Goalkeeper Grabp gives Warriors All-Star level of play

When the ECIC III boys soccer All-Star teams were announced after last season, the fi rst team did not include anyone from Cheektowaga Central, not surprising as the Warriors won just two games.

After watching goalkeeper

Anthony Grabp put on a show against powerhouse Starpoint, Warriors’ coach Matt Haberl expects that to change this season.

“He was a second-team All-Star last season and we’re going for fi rst team this year,” Haberl said. “That was a fi rst-team All-Star performance against the No. 1 team.”

Starpoint came to Cheek-towaga on Oct. 7 and even though it was Senior Night and a rare game under the lights, most soccer followers thought the Spartans were going to roll over the Warriors, especially after earning a 5-0 win over

JEFFREY T. BARNES

at least 35 in four of its fi rst six games.

And Maryvale will bring an assortment of standouts

on defense into the Maroon Madness Rivalry game:

• Mike Kelleher has a team-leading 52 tackles, as well as two forced fumbles, a pair of fumble recoveries and an interception.

• Halferty has four sacks, tied for the team lead, to go with 28 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

• Steve Schroeder also has four sacks to go with 37 tack-les, third on the team.

• Andrew Crombie has three of Maryvale’s six intercep-tions and has shadowed the opponent’s best receiver on a weekly basis. He made the defensive play of the year in Week 3, defl ecting away Amherst’s 2-point conversion pass on the fi nal play of an 8-6 victory.

• Marcus Ford ranks second on the team in tackles with 37 and also has a pick and a sack.

• Sophomore Joey Cartonia has three sacks and classmate Austin Reamsnyder has two more.

Cheektowaga earlier this year.But Grabp and Cheektowaga

had other ideas. Although Star-point remained undefeated with a 2-0 victory, the Warriors made sure the Spartans had to work for everything they got.

“We were confi dent coming into the game, thinking we could actually win this game,” Grabp said. “They’re a good team, but we knew we could play with them.”

And due in large part to Grabp, they did just that. Grabp made 13 saves, many of the spectacular variety. The two-goal output was the lowest of the season against a

league opponent for Starpoint against anyone other than defending sectional champion East Aurora.

“The score could’ve been 8- or 9-0,” Haberl said. “The defense played well, but he made some saves that could have been ESPN-type saves.”

Cheektowaga ended the regular season with five wins, more than doubling last year’s total. And when the Warriors scored at least one goal, they were 5-2. Grabp – who doubles as the kicker for Cheektowaga’s division-winning football team — has four shutouts on the season

and has proven to be tough to beat for even the best in ECIC III.

“Just reactions, that’s it,” he said of his highlight-reel saves. “My defense has played very well in front of me.”

Grabp may have been Cheektowaga’s star on Senior Night, but the salutes still went to the team’s 10 seniors: Jack Behlmaier, Khaled Numan-Ali, Greg Pittman, Hamza Al-Naji, Rodger Gabryszak, Stephen Gosciak, Aaron Horvatis, Matt Makowski, Drew Stachewicz and Michael Swacha.

“The last few years, we’ve

been through a lot together,” Grabp said. “Those guys are good players.”

After an improved season, the Warriors hope to be better-represented on the postseason All-Star teams after landing nobody on the fi rst team but three on the second a year ago. Grabp fi gures to fi nd his name on the All-Star list somewhere — something he’ll appreciate. But that’s not why he plays the game.

“That is nice to get if I can,” Grabp said of postseason hon-ors. “But I just want the win.”

the next.”That defense will face its

toughest test in Week 7 with a share of the Class B Central

championship at stake. The Flyers visit rival Cheektowaga Central, which has averaged 36 points per game and reached

Congress and president approvelegislation to keep Kids Korner openCongressman Brian Hig-

gins (NY-26), VA WNY Healthcare System Director Brian Stiller and local vet-erans announced that legis-lation keeping Kids Korner open, H.R. 5404, the Ex-tending Veterans Expiring Authorities Act, has crossed its fi nal legislative hurdle ensuring the services will be available through 2015. The doors to Kids Korner would have closed on Oct. 1 with-out this action.

Kids Korner, a center that provides free childcare services to veterans while attending appointments at the Buffalo VA, was slated to close on Sept. 30, due to lack of continued funding. Local veterans petitioned to keep the child care center open. Higgins wrote to the House Appropriations Com-mittee this September call-ing for continued funding for Kids Korner and urged passage of H.R. 5404.

“America’s military per-sonnel have placed their lives on the line for our free-dom and we must ensure that accessing services isn’t a battle when they return,” Congressman Higgins said. “This on-site child care cen-ter reduces a barrier many of our veterans with young families face and allows for fl exibility in scheduling

necessary appointments.”“This is an important pro-

gram for Buffalo veterans and their families,” said Senator Gillibrand, a mem-ber of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Many of our men and women who served in the military need counseling and health ser-vices and help when they return home. This program helps our veterans receive the services they earned and deserve by providing child care during their appoint-ments. This VA program has been incredibly success-ful in Buffalo and should remain available here, and expanded throughout the country.”

Kids Korner is one of three child care programs at Veterans Administrations across the country: The oth-er two are located in Puget Sound, Wash. and North-port, N.Y. The program, started in 2011, provides free, drop-in child care ser-vices for eligible veterans waiting for appointments.

“On behalf of my family and veterans we are very grateful to those who assist-ed us on keeping Kids Ko-rner open for another year so that we have less things to worry about while attend-ing to our medical needs,” said Matejka Baumgardner,

commander of Kubik Gallo-way VFW Post and mother of twin infants who utilizes Kids Korner services. “The community response was quicker than I expected. It shows an immediate need to keep this program going so we will continue or work to make Kids Korner a perma-nent location at the VA.”

Need for the Kids Korner services continues to grow including use among grand-parent caregivers. In 2012 the Kids Korner facility in Buffalo saw 857 children, ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. Last year Kids Korner served 1,397 children. This year, FY 2014, the site has already provided childcare to 1,228 children. In August 2014, 228 children were served - the highest number to date. A recent survey con-ducted at the Buffalo found that 100 percent of Veterans were satisfi ed with the care provided through the pro-gram.

H.R. 5405 also extends coverage of nursing homec-are provided to veterans with service connected dis-abilities of 70 percent or higher. Furthermore, the bill authorizes an additional $2 million towards a pilot pro-gram for counseling services at retreats for retired female veterans.

John Leguizamo’s work has appeared various times across stage and screen. His roles have landed him Emmy and ALMA Awards, and nomina-tions for Golden Globes and Tony Awards to name a few. His one-man shows have gone from Broadway stages to HBO specials. His voice has been heard by billions of people around the world in the “Ice Age” franchise, he has appeared in numerous television shows and feature fi lms, and he still has time for his wife and children.Though next week he will be back in a recording studio, working on the fi fth “Ice Age” fi lm, Le-guizamo has put time aside to come to Buffalo this weekend to perform four shows for local fans at Helium Comedy Club.“People will be entertained, and they’re going to learn something,” Leguizamo said. “My stuff is always pretty out there and daring if I do say so myself.”Those who attend his perfor-mances are in for a treat as Leguizamo is premiering his brand new show.“Buffalo is the fi rst place I’m trying it out at,” he said. “I’m curious to see how people re-late to the subject matter – the jokes, inappropriateness and intellectual aspect of it.”Performances begin at 7:30 and 10:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17 and Saturday, Oct. 18 at Helium Comedy Club, lo-cated at 30 Mississippi St. in Buffalo.

John Leguizamo premieres new show in Buffalo

L e -guizamo loves per-

forming for live audiences because of the immediate feedback he receives. “When a union happens be-tween me and the audience, all of a sudden the show goes places I never thought it would go. They inspire me,” he said. “This is the rawest and most organic dialogue I have. I love the possibility that anything can occur.”Besides acting, Leguizamo is an avid writer. He released an autobiography in 2006 through Harper Collins and created multiple award-win-ning one-man shows, per-formed in Chicago and both on- and off-Broadway in New York City.“There is always something

b u r n -ing in me, a passionate

question or a quest, some-thing I couldn’t deal with and needed to learn how to deal with,” he explained. He truly felt like a “legit writer” how-ever when his show “Spic-O-Rama” won a playwriting award through Warner Hall.Leguizamo performed his one-man show “Ghetto Klown” on Broadway in 2011, and it is now avail-able on HBO on Demand. Through this show, he learned to forgive, let go and move on. He recently revis-ited this show and plans to release a graphic novel of “Ghetto Klown” next year through Abrams Books.“The artist I got for the novel captures the reality of the story and then elevates it

further,” Leguizamo said. “It takes you other places. It travels through 40 years of my life, different countries and cities and time zones and cultures. Now it’s all visual-ized.”Leguizamo has learned many times in his career if you don’t accept defeat and keep your eyes on the prize, you will fi nd success. He didn’t expect his show “Freak” to go to Broadway, and then it received an Emmy award and several other nominations. Fox didn’t imagine “Ice Age” to be a box-offi ce sensation,

now there are toys, video games and multiple mov-ies for the franchise.“It was magic to do. We had so much fun,” he said about the fi rst “Ice Age” fi lm. “The movie came out

and saved Fox for the fourth quarter of the year fi nancial-ly. It was a crazy surprise.”Besides being excited to play the lovable sloth “Sid” and start on his next fi lm, Le-guizamo is anxious for the upcoming Nov. 7 release of a fi lm he wrote titled “Fugly.” The fi lm – about a guy who grows up ugly, improves himself in college, attempts to be the “Don Juan” char-acter but always fi nds him-self fallings in love – will be available on iTunes and Video On Demand.To keep up with Leguizamo and his momentous career, follow him on Twitter (@JohnLeguizamo).

Urging the investigation of UNRWACongressman Brian

Higgins (NY-26) and Rep-resentative Doug Collins (GA-9) led a bipartisan ef-fort in writing to Secretary of State John Kerry re-garding the use of United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) fa-cilities to maintain rocket stockpiles during the con-fl ict between Israel and Hamas. In the letter, Hig-gins and Collins urge the state department to con-duct an independent in-vestigation to uncover the extent to which UNRWA facilities are being mis-used in Gaza.

“As a major recipi-ent of U.S. tax dollars, UNRWA must take more robust measures to ensure its facilities are not being used to facilitate terror-ism,” Congressman Hig-gins said. “I urge the state

department to take the ap-propriate and necessary action.”

Congressman Collins said, “The resources of the international community, especially those provided by the United States, sim-ply cannot be used in any way to further terrorism. We’re very concerned about these reports and expect a conclusive state department investigation as soon as possible.”

UNRWA provides hu-manitarian, social ser-vices, education and other forms of assistanceto Pal-estinians in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria. However, dur-ing the recent confl ict in Gaza, in which Hamas and other groups conducted terrorist operations from civilian areas, rockets were discovered at UNRWA

schools on three separate occasions, constituting a major violation of inter-national law and raising questions about the mea-sures UNRWA is taking to ensure its facilities are not being used by Hamas or other terrorist groups.

The letter, which has 67 signatures, stresses that UNRWA should do more to prevent its facilities from being used to endan-ger the lives of civilians and commit acts of ter-rorism. In addition to re-questing an investigation, the lawmakers call for more thorough screening of staff for membership in Hamas and Hezbollah and increased inspections of UNRWA facilities to en-sure they are being used as intended.

Buttino extends gratitude to hometown for publicizing Reading Rainbow

Many Americans can say they owe their love of reading to a certain television phenomenon that broke the barriers between reading and TV, created right here in Buffalo.

Running for more than two decades, and reaching out to 6.5 million students nationwide, “Reading Rainbow” on PBS became the most frequently watched program in schools.

And Tony Buttino, receiver of fi ve Emmys for co-executive producing the show, expresses his gratitude to his hometown for making it all possible years later.

“Thanks to the people of Western New York who came together… they were gifted” Buttino said. “And as the saying goes ‘if you do something, you are doing something for the child’ and in this case it seemed to prosper.”

And the idea behind “Reading Rainbow?”

It was due to a problem well known in education as the ‘summer loss phenomenon.’ This

By Anna CappelloSUN INTERN

commonly occurs with students who do not read during summer break and have a hard time catching up to the drilling school routine come September.

“So we thought, ‘maybe we can look at a show that might help youngsters get motivated to read over the summer’” Buttino explained.

A graduate of Bishop Timon High School and Ithica College, Buttino started his broadcasting career as a cameraman for Channel 17.

He spent 40 years behind the scenes of WNED-TV working as a foreman, director, production manager, and fi nally overseeing the development of “Reading Rainbow.”

The goal of this program was to advocate children’s reading comprehension at the elementary level and through the help of local librarians, reading teachers, and college professors this goal turned into a reality.

“The Buffalo library system and reading teachers were very cordial and we even got some grants for kids to get some of these books. It all came together very nicely” Buttino recalled. “We worked with West Seneca schools and the West Seneca library to pull this idea together.”

The format of “Reading Rainbow” took young viewers on TV fi eld trips using an animated story with illustrations from a particular book. It also

promoted Featured Stories, where kids critiqued books and ended the program with catchy phrases such as “I read this book, and you should too!”

Buttino refl ected that the main challenge after the creation of “Reading Rainbow” was to promote the TV show in an era where books and television were not friendly to each other. Librarians at the time pretty much said “turn off the TV and read the book.”

The concept of combining the two was never seen before and transformed the learning spectrum for ages to come. Thankfully, Buffalo libraries were open to new ideas and helped create a segway for the show to fl ourish.

“I realize as an adult that we tend to prejudge people sometimes” Buttino said. “We were prejudging librarians and reading teachers with the idea that maybe they won’t participate, but we misread it. It just happened that they decided ‘yes let’s do this together.’”

Buttino recently received the “Behind the Scenes” Award at the Buffalo Broadcasters Association Awards celebration on Sept. 18 for his work at WNED-TV.

He was inducted into the BBA 18th annual Hall of Fame along with Jack Armstrong, Carl Lam, WBLK Radio, Chris Musial, Susan King, Bill Lacy and Don Postles.CARE
