Share A Little Shade Contest opens at the Buffalo Auto Show CPOWNY PROMOTIONS COORDINATOR
While roaming the halls of this weekend’s Buffalo Auto Show, make sure to “spot” the Towne MINI giraffewrapped MINI Cooper. Did you know, just like human fingerprints, a giraffe’s coat pattern is unique to that individual? Not only can you see this fun, giraffe-themed, new four-door MINI in person, you can also purchase raffle tickets for your chance to win a one-year lease or $5,000 cash. Community Papers of WNY and Towne MINI are excited to be partnering with one of our areas greatest community resources, the Buffalo Zoo. All proceeds from ticket purchases will be donated to the Zoo, to help fund the building of a giraffe shade structure. Raffle tickets will cost $5 each and anyone donating $10 will receive an original giraffe jump drive, donations of $20 will receive a stuffed animal giraffe, complete with
personalized Sampson bandana (must be 21 or older to enter). Additionally, people of all ages can donate $1 and be entered to win a 6 foot stuffed giraffe. Visit Community Papers of WNY at the Towne MINI booth, during the Auto Show. Raffle tickets will be sold throughout 2015, with winners being drawn in December. The world giraffe population is diminishing, with fewer than 80,000 in existence today. In WNY, we are fortunate to have the Buffalo Zoo, and their newest giraffe addition, baby Sampson. Currently, Sampson and his family have use of an enclosed structure, as well as a large giraffe yard of approximately one-half acre. However, during the Zoo’s accreditation process in 2011, it was noted that there was little to no outdoor shade. The Association of Zoo’s and Aquariums (AZA) requested that a shade structure be built to help keep the animals cool and out of the direct sunlight of the summer months. The shade structure is one aspect

Memory Minders program gives hope to those suffering from early memory loss By Rebecca Gunning THE STAR EDITOR
In recent years, there has been an increase in focus on diseases that affect memory loss as the number of cases has grown. With that increase, programs have developed in order to help slow down that memory loss in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. With some help from The Brookdale Foundation near New York City, The Dale Association in Lockport started a program about five years ago called Memory Minders for people with early onset dementia or Alzheimer’s or those who suffer some memory loss from a brain injury. The program meets from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Monday and Friday at the Dale and Angie Blackley, the program’s coordinator, organizes different games, crafts, trivia and memory challenges for the participants. “What we do is try to stimulate what memory they still have on their cognitive level – some will be higher, some of them will be a little bit lower,” Blackley explained. “The ones who are a little bit lower will have a volunteer with them to work one on one with them.” Those who are interested in attending are able to call up Blackley, and she will arrange a sit down with the potential client as well as the client’s caretaker. This meeting will help Blackley, who has worked with seniors for 30 years, determine whether or not the program is suitable for that particular person. “We don’t take people who are farther along and in the mid-stages [of those diseases] because we are not a medical model here,” she said. “We’re a facility where people have to be semi-independent – they can go to the bathroom, they can eat, they don’t wander. They have to be able to participate in the program or else it won’t work.”

Left: Pearl and Carol work on making a penguin together.
Right: Bill reads old newspaper articles while Larry Strickley follows along. Because the program is for those who are early along in their disease progression, there often comes a time when Blackley has to tell clients Memory Minders is no longer for them. “When they get to a point of getting farther along in the dementia or Alzheimer’s, they become disruptive or I just can’t get them to participate them anymore,” she said. “They don’t recognize numbers or letters. Then it’s time to move them on to something else. I usually recommend a facility that’s a little more advanced for them.” Another reason for the assessment is so Blackley can make sure the person wants to be involved in the program and is not being pushed into it by a family member or caregiver. Participants must be willing. Each session is $30 per person and billing is usually at the end of the month. The money helps to pay for the one or two trips they go on per year and supplies used in the class along with some funding from the county. “There is a lot of free stuff online, but you don’t want to bore them with paperwork. You want hands-on crafts,”
Lockport Rotary to hold annual Valentine’s raffle The Lockport Rotary Club will conduct its annual Valentine’s Raffle and dinner on Thursday, Feb. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Terry’s Corners Volunteer Fire Company located at 7801 Chestnut Ridge Rd., Gasport,. This annual event supports the Lockport Rotary Club’s scholarship fund and other Rotary sponsored projects. Annually, the Lockport Rotary Club awards $10,000 to area high school students. Tickets are $100 per couple and the evening includes a wonderful dinner catered by Donna Eick, 50/50 split
club, fabulous basket raffle and a live auction. All ticket purchasers are also entered into a raffle to win one of three cash prizes - first prize is $2,500, second prize is $500, and third prize is $250. You need not be present to win. Tickets can be purchased through any Lockport Rotarian, or contact Valentine Raffle Chairman Mike Norris at 434-3311. Checks for a ticket can be made payable to the Lockport New York Rotary Foundation and mailed to P.O. Box 1199, Lockport, N.Y. 14095.
Blackley explained. There is often a theme for each class, usually revolving around the holidays, but there are also other ideas Blackley comes up with. “We had a whole program all about pets with trivia. We had a video. We had funny cartoons,” she said. “We had YouTube videos where they had to figure out what the pet was going to do when they froze it. They have a lot of fun with that.” People have the option of attending just one class a week, but Blackley encourages clients to attend both to get more out of it. Many of the participants have been attending for months. Monday’s class has about 16 members, while Friday’s has a bit more. Sarah Strickley’s husband, Larry, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal demen-
tia, has been coming to the program for the last three years, and she has seen tons of improvement since he’s participated. “He stayed in bed with blinders on and wouldn’t talk to anyone [after his diagnosis],” she said. “Then just like that he changed. Now he’s coming back into his own – slowly but surely.” Because Larry, 75, has been coming so long, he has developed camaraderie with his classmates, and is disappointed if he can’t make a class. “This really is a wonderful class for him,” Sarah said of her spouse of nearly 53 years. “He calls it his second family. He loves it.” One of the main reasons the class is doing so well is the people who volunteer their time to assist the class, especially those who are a
lower cognitive level. “The volunteers themselves are what are so important to help me out,” Blackely said. “I run the class, but they’re the ones who really work hands on with the individuals. They have just as much fun as the participants.” Linda, who has been volunteering with the program on and off since it began, finds helping out to be very rewarding. Her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2008, at which time she became her primary caregiver. Now that she has since passed away, Linda believes this is the perfect way to give back to the community that also assisted her when she was taking care of her mother.
Roberts Farm Market Open: Tuesdays 9am-4pm
APPLES Over 12 Varieties Still Available
“I get a huge sense of serenity and peace from being here, just knowing that I’m giving their caregivers some time to their selves that they desperately need,” she said. The program is also close to Blackley’s heart as her mother also was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the 1980s at the young age of 52. “There wasn’t a lot in research for medication and such at that time so if this is going to slow down the progression of the disease then it’s so rewarding for me,” she said. Both Blackley and Linda get a lot of joy out of how much fun the participants have. While Blackley enjoys the interactive games, one of Linda’s favorite activities to do with the group is baking and cooking. “It’s funny because it’s one of the things that a lot of the ladies remember. They remember baking, and some of them are very good at it,” she said with a laugh. “That memory comes right back to them when they get into it. They want to measure everything and stir for you.” The program accepts people from all over Niagara County, and will even provide those living in the Town or City of Lockport with transportation to and from the sessions. If you are interested in learning more about Memory Minders or volunteering, please call Blackley at 4331886. The Dale Association is located at 33 Ontario St., Lockport.

The New Memorial: Embracing positive change The New Memorial embraced positive change on several fronts in 2014 with the achievement of several significant milestones designed to position us for future growth and improve the health status of our community. To name but a few: •The completion and opening of our $2 million Niagara Wellness Connection Center, which we believe to be the first of its kind, combines behavioral health, primary care and community support services under one roof. In addition to receiving quality care, participants at the Center enjoy a range of free educational opportunities in topics that range from nutrition to household budgeting to yoga. •The completion and opening of David’s Path,
a dedicated hospice unit in our Schoellkopf Health Center. Residents at David’s Path receive specialized hospice services from combined Schoellkopf and Niagara Hospice staff physicians, pharmacists, nurses, medical social workers and spiritual care providers as well as massage therapists, allied therapists, support staff, volunteers and bereavement counselors. •A $250,000 sub-acute care unit at Schoellkopf. This modern new unit serves patients needing goal-oriented medical and surgical rehabilitation prior to returning home after being hospitalized. •The announcement of the Golisano Center for Community Health, which will provide comprehensive integrated health care services to adults with spe-
Petitions to run for Starpoint School Board seat available Nominating petitions for persons interested in running for a seat on the Starpoint Central School District Board of Education are now available. The school board election will be held May 19. Petitions can be picked
up daily between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the office of the Superintendent, located at 4363 Mapleton Rd., Town of Pendleton. For further information, please call Dorothy Frew, Starpoint District Clerk, at 210-2352.
cial needs – the developmentally and intellectually disabled and other at risk individuals – and to their families. We will break ground for the new $5.5 million center this spring. •The growth of our minimally invasive and robotic surgery center. Our expanded surgical team continues to pace the region in the use of leading technology for such advanced procedures as single incision robotic hysterectomy and gallbladder surgery. •The continued expansion of our bariatrics program. This surgical weight-loss option has been a godsend for scores of patients with serious health problems caused by obesity. Niagara Falls Memorial now has a trio of surgeons performing this type of surgery and offers
monthly patient information seminars in Lewiston, Lockport and Niagara Falls. •The recruitment of several highly qualified physicians to our medical staff. During the past 12 months, Memorial and our entire community have been blessed by the addition of skilled and experienced doctors in such specialties as internal medicine, inpatient hospital care, obstetrics/gynecology and minimally invasive and robotic surgery. •The expansion of our sports medicine and sports rehabilitation service lines. We now provide sports medicine and athletic training services to seven area school districts in addition to Niagara County Community College. Our Competitive EDGE Sports
Performance program, which provides specialized training to athletes at all levels from high school to the pros, has moved to an all new, larger site at the Niagara Falls High School athletic complex. •Last but certainly not least was the opening of our new Tenth Street Café. This collaboration with Niagara University’s College of Hospitality and Tourism and Cannon Design to deliver a creative new food service experience to visitors, staff members, students and volunteers is generating a lot of local excitement and drawing positive national attention to our community. The year ahead promises even more excitement, including the opening of an expanded primary care center on Grand Is-
land, the construction of the new Golisano Center, and a $1.5 million interior renovation project to benefit our Schoellkopf Health Center residents. Of course, none of these accomplishments would be possible without the continued and enthusiastic support of community members, funding partners, service partners and our 1,100-member Memorial Medical Center team. We are most grateful for that support and we promise we’ll have even more good news in 2015 as we keeping moving forward to provide high quality care. Joseph A. Ruffolo President & CEO of Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center

Try snowshoeing with Paths, Peaks and Paddles to get out and explore scenic areas of Western New York By Rebecca Gunning THE STAR EDITOR
Winter may be a time of hibernating for some people, but not for Oren Barris and Christine Baer of Paths, Peaks and Paddles, the outdoor specialty store in Tonawanda. Barris, the owner of the store, and Baer use this time of year to teach people not to ski, snowboard or ice skate, but to snowshoe. Each Tuesday at 6 p.m. (as well as a few other special events throughout the season), they take people out to various places around Western New York to trek and tromp around scenic locations they may not have previously seen before. While Baer, who is a partner with the store, says building up your stamina by continuing to go is recommended, the walks they go on are built for anyone – from first timers to the elderly to teenagers to experts. Other than Baer and Barris, there are also New York State Certified guides as well as in-

A family enjoys snowshoeing at a previous Roy-Hart Winterfest. structors on the excursions. There is a leader, a sweeper and a few others walking about the group just chatting and offering tips. The walks are not hurried along by any means. “Anybody who is struggling, the group stays with you,” explained Baer, who has been snowshoeing for 15 years. “Catch your breath. Have some water. Look around. This is probably new terrain for everybody so enjoy it.” For those new to the sport, you can rent snowshoes and poles from Paths, Peaks and
Paddles for just $15. Other than that, Barris and Baer’s adventures are free, making it much more affordable than a ski trip to Holiday Valley. One common misconception Baer has found people have about snowshoeing is that walking in them requires a different, wider gait. “People can walk normal. It only takes a few moments to get used to, and they’re fine,” she said. “I think everyone comes in with that old concept, and they want to walk with their legs wide open and take large, gaping steps.”
Warm clothing is an absolute must for these trips – snow boots, hats, gloves, etc. “We do have some people come just dressed in sneakers, and it makes me crazy,” Baer said with a laugh. Not only is snowshoeing a great way to get off the couch and out into some fresh air, it also opens your eyes to some of the unknown gems of the area. Baer’s favorite place in the area happens to be Royalton’s ravine, which not many people have been to. Baer takes pride in the enjoyment people get out of their adventures and always
hopes to give a positive experience to those who join them. “One of our missions is to go away with a memory – not only of the event, but I want you to remember us,” she said. “I don’t want you to go home and cuss me out. I want people to say, ‘They have this event coming up. Let’s join them.’” Since they’ve been doing these trips around the area, Barris, who has been snowshoeing since he was a child, has seen more and more older people get into the sport. “A lot of Baby Boomers are getting into it now. Their
kids are gone, and they’re empty nesters,” he said. “But they don’t want to go out and do something they’re going to get hurt doing so we get a lot of that age group.” However, even with the increase Baer says she would like to see more elderly people try it. She also would like to encourage families to come out and give it a go as well. “They need to know that they can do this too,” she said. “It opens up a huge world because you put your snowshoes on and you can go wherever you want and spend as much time out there as you want.” If you’re interested in joining Baer and Barris on one of their Tuesday evening excursions, please call them ahead of time at the store at 213—0350 to find out where they’re going and to give them a head count. Because they go all over Western New York, arrangements for carpooling can be made. Their next big event will be their Valentine’s Brunch at Bond Lake at 11 a.m. on Feb. 15. Join Baer and Barris for a delicious meal with snowshoeing to follow. Tickets are $25. Snowshoes and poles are not included with your ticket, but you can rent. Paths, Peaks and Paddles is located at 1000 Ellicott Creak Rd., Tonawanda. For a schedule of their events, visit www. pathspeakspaddles.com.

Lions swimmers win another league title By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Last season marked the first time that the Lockport boys swim team had won the Niagara Frontier League in nine years. The Lions didn’t have to wait that long for their next NFL title as they completed the season 13-1 to claim their second straight league championship. Although last season was monumental due to the fact that Lockport had endured years of hardship before sitting on the cusp of a championship for a few years and finally winning, this season is perhaps even more important because the Lions have shown that the program is back to the traditional power that it has been in the past. “I think what we did this year was crucial,” said Lockport head coach John Sullivan. “We had an exceptional amount of talent last year that took us to great success. To follow up that with this type of performance this year establishes for our kids, for our program, for the guys returning and for the guys thinking about joining next year, what our standard is. “Dual meets are one thing, and we use those to build, but swimming fast in February at the championships is truly our goal. We set the bar last year and to get back to the same level is important but it also sets the tone moving forward.” At the beginning of the season, Sullivan was intrigued to see how his young talent would fill in for the amount of quality swimmers the team had lost from 2014, but he quickly saw that they were able to step up and fill the void. After a loss to Niagara Falls in the first dual meet of the year, Lockport was able to gradually improve before knocking off the same Wolverines squad later in the year to claim the NFL title. “We made really nice progression throughout the year,” said Sullivan. “Early December, the first time we saw Niagara Falls, it was a little bit rough. We expected it to be because they were a very balanced team and we were very early into our training. We were OK for the first event, event and a half of each meet, but as we got into the first three events, they started showing signs of fatigue. “We had a great December after that and into January. We looked like we could handle four events per night from all 14 of our guys and our divers were performing exceptionally well. We had a chance to mix and match our lineups at times and we discovered some new lineups and that made us a better team.” Ryan Smorol and Mike Dmochowski were expecting to carry the torch prior to the season and they certainly have, but the Lions have gotten production in several other areas as well.

Jason Robillard and the Lockport wrestling team won every league dual meet they were in for the second consecutive season.
Back-to-back-to-back Lockport wrestling team wins third straight NFL crown By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
When the Lockport wrestling team won the Niagara Frontier League in 2013, it had been the first time in 16 years that it had accomplished that feat. When the Lions won the NFL again last year, it was the first time that they had ever won back-to-back league championships. Now they have entered unprecedented territory as they have won three straight league titles. Lockport went unbeaten in league dual meets for the second consecutive year and has won 16 NFL dual
meets in a row dating back to 2013. The Lions had also set school records for most overall dual wins each of the last two seasons, and that tradition also continued this year as they went 17-1 overall. “It wasn’t easy,” said Lockport head coach Joe Scapelliti. “The last two weeks we got the best shot that Niagara-Wheatfield and Niagara Falls could have given us, but luckily we were able to withstand and carry through with that, so it’s satisfying for sure. “To be able win it for the third straight year is a very gratifying thing. It’s something we have been working very hard toward. There is still a lot more out there for us and that’s where our attention shifts this week.” On paper, it appeared as if Lockport had the firepower
to once again repeat this season. But it wouldn’t be easy as the team had to replace Marcelus Hinton, Dylan Nuhn and Marshall Taylor, who combined for 107 total victories last year. In order to replace those wins, the Lions would need some wrestlers to step up. That is exactly what has happened throughout the season. One of those wrestlers has been Vince Eberhart, who has had a stellar career, but took it to another level this year by notching 29 wins. He’s become someone that the Lions will be counting on in the Class AA meet this Saturday (Feb. 7) and to possibly become a Section VI representative at the state meet.

Wilson boys basketball on top of N-O League By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
JEFFREY T. BARNES
After winning just seven games total in the two seasons prior to this one, Joe Littere and the Wilson boys basketball team are in first place.
Prior to the season, many around the Niagara-Orleans League predicted that Wilson would be the class of the league this year despite the fact that it had won just seven total games the previous two seasons. So far, the Lakemen have lived up to their billing as they have been tearing through league play on the back of a 10-game winning streak. Five of Wilson’s seniors have endured the last two losing seasons after taking their lumps as sophomores and juniors, but now Kyle
Bradley, Jarret Johnston, Joe Littere, Zachary Sarratori and Evan Shank have gone from cellar dwellers to the top of the league. “It’s a crazy feeling,” said Shank. “It’s nice to finally be on top. Everybody is working hard and we just have to keep it up. Hopefully we finish the season undefeated or at the top [of the N-O League].” When you look at the Lakemen, it’s easy to say that Bradley, the league’s leading scorer at 20.6 points per game, has been the reason for the resurgence. But there is far more to it than that. Shank has been an outstanding second option this year, scoring 12.5 points per night with three 20-point games under his belt.

Lockport basketball team heating up in league play By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
The defending Niagara Frontier League champions knew that they would have a tough road ahead of them this season purely based on the experience that they lost from last year.
Lockport returned just two players from last year’s squad and the inexperience was on full display early in the season. The Lions got off to a strong start by winning its own tipoff tournament against the likes of International Prep and Williamsville East, but shortly afterward, they went into a major slide, losing five out of their next six contests. Three of those losses came in league play and four came by 15 points or more, but since that losing skid, Lockport reeled off five wins

in six league games to climb into the middle of the pack in the NFL and Class AA. With athletes like Lavette Warren, Kelly Brown, Kahlil James, Andrew Austin and Cordel McDowell, the Lions have the ability to compete with any team on any given night come sectional time. “We hope so,” said Lockport head coach Dave Gilson. “I haven’t seen many ECIC games or anything like that, but these kids are definitely getting better from where they were in November, which you would obviously expect.” One thing that the young Lions, who have just one senior on the roster in Vinny Schad, struggled with early in the season was patience on offense. At times, they did not wait for players to work themselves open for a look at the basket or they would settle for decent looks too early in the shot clock instead of waiting for a great look later on in the possession. As the season has worn on, they have been able to gain more patience and trust that the system is going to work, which is something that any
young team has to work its way through early on. And it appears that Lockport is turning a corner. “At the beginning of the season, I charted it and I think we were taking 20 to 24 threes per game,” said Gilson. “Now we are down to where we should be in 10-12. We aren’t turning that ball over as much as we had. We are just making good passes and not trying to thread the needle as much. The kids are learning that they can’t make those same passes that they made at the JV level.” Gilson has several young building blocks at his disposal including sophomore Dakota Wiley, who has shown the ability to play the point guard position as well as an ability to heat up as an outside shooter at times. Warren and Brown are both incredibly athletic and versatile players that can play every position on the floor. Lockport is still looking for a true big man as Warren, Brown and junior Cole Lennert are often thrust into that role, but Mo’Kyle Little has shown fl ashes in the second half of the season. Another plus is that they

Andrew Austin and the Lions had won five of their last six league games at press time. have been a very balanced offensive team this year and that is something that is a plus for any team at any level. “I hope these kids are figuring out who has to score,” said Gilson. “Then they have to set those guys up to score.
We have gotten a lot better with that but we have a long way to go.” Lockport still has a tough test on the road against Niagara Falls on Feb. 10 and its home finale against Kenmore West on Feb. 13.
Orefice has chance Newfane grapplers repeat as to be first Lion Niagara-Orleans All-League champions grappler to win four Section VI titles “Lions” from page B1 Tylor Rivera has stepped into the heavyweight role vacated by the graduation of Hinton and has picked up 27 wins on the season. Steven Kapuscinski has also had a strong sophomore campaign by winning 30 matches. “[Eberhart] has stepped up for us huge at 145,” said Scapelliti. “He’s a kid coming in here who is one of the kids to not only win a class title, but to be a state rep as well. Our heavyweight, Tylor Rivera, has done a great job for us as a first-year starter in the varsity lineup. Steven Kapuscinski has done an excellent job for us. Those three guys have been really good for us in stepping up to fill those roles.” By this time, everyone knows the exploits of Kirk Feeney, who wrestles in a prominent weight class with the likes of Andrew Shomers of Lewiston-Porter and projects to be a class winner this year once again, along with super sophomore Mitch Seaver, who already has 76 wins on his resume and a 33-1 record this year. But one wrestler goes under the radar at times and he just happens to be statistically the best grappler in the history of the program. Anthony Orefice set the school record for career wins earlier this year and has since shattered it with 237 victories, including a 34-2 record this season. The senior also has an opportunity to become
the first Lockport wrestler to ever win four Section VI championships this Saturday (Feb. 7) when the Lions aim to repeat as team champions. If he can continue his dominance, Orefice will never be considered under the radar again and will surely become a name to be reckoned with at the state meet in March. “He’s definitely one of the guys that we will be looking to score a lot of points for us,” said Scapelliti. “He’s a kid who should be a favorite this weekend and will probably be a No. 1 seed. He handles that pretty well, he’s used to that. He scores us a lot of points not only through advancement, but he gets a lot of pins too.” When Lockport heads to Lancaster for the Class AA meet, it will have to go through some tough and familiar foes if it wants to repeat as the Section VI champion. NFL rival Niagara-Wheatfield will be one of the main challengers to Lockport, particularly after it finished just five points behind Lockport in the Pete Rao Memorial Tournament at LewistonPorter High School last weekend. “We need to be our best,” said Scapelliti. “We need to be focused and we need to go about our business. I like what we’ve got going in. I think we are wrestling pretty well.” The Section VI Class AA tournament begins at 9 a.m. at Lancaster High School.

Newfane’s Paul Dunbar was crowned champion of the 145-pound class at the Niagara-Orleans All-League meet on Jan. 31. By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
History was made when Newfane hosted the 50th annual Niagara-Orleans All-League Tournament last Saturday (Jan. 31). The Golden Jubilee of the N-O saw the exact same order of finish as the 2014 tournament, including Newfane repeating as the champion by a wide margin. Newfane finished first with 279.5 points, Akron came in second with 182, Barker/ Roy-Hart was third with 146, Albion had 120.5, Medina had 114 and Wilson finished with 86. The Panthers completed their second straight league sweep, winning the tournament and the regular season championship in dominating fashion. “We won by almost 98 points,” said Newfane head coach Sal Montesanti. “I’m
really excited about that. We had four first place finishers. Jake Kubala just pinned everybody in his bracket, I’m really proud of Jake. Paul [Dunbar] had a great tournament. Cyrus [Simmons] is wrestling great. I’m really happy for Adam Nowicki. Adam bumped a couple of weight classes and is wrestling very well.” Newfane got four firstplace finishes to help take the overall title with Paul Dunbar, Jake Kubala and Cyrus Simmons repeating as champions from last year while Adam Nowicki won his weight class at 160 pounds. Kubala won each of his matches via pinfall. Dunbar, who sang the national anthem prior to the finals, dominated his opponent en route to a victory at 145 to give him a tremendous amount of momentum heading into the Class C sectional meet. “It feels great,” said Dun-
bar. “I won last year’s, so I wanted to keep the tradition going. Of course the team got the league championship so I’m really happy. I’m looking forward to the class tournament and I’m hoping to place high in that tournament as well.” Barker/Roy-Hart had a very big afternoon as it picked up championship performances from Collin Anderson at 285 and D.J. Gardner at 152. Gardner was able to avenge a disappointing All-League tournament last year that he finished third in after winning the tournament as a sophomore in 2013. The senior had been stewing about the third-place finish all year and he made it a goal to get back to the first-place podium. “I’ve been working hard for this all year,” said Gardner. “I have been going hard all day with everybody telling me that it was going to be a blowout match with me get-
ting killed. It just feels great to say that I won it again. It was something not winning it last year and I missed the title, but I got it back.” While Wilson may have finished last in the standings, the Lakemen got a big victory in the 220-pound division as Dylan Thompson-Cox came away with the title. Thompson-Cox won it with a pin of Newfane’s Chris Johnstone in the finals, which helped him gain some momentum heading into the Class D tournament, where he finished fourth last year. “Coming out of last year, I went to sectionals and got fourth,” said ThompsonCox. “I just wanted it more this year. I’m going into sectionals with a good feeling.” Newfane finished second in the Class C tournament last year behind Falconer, which will be hosting this year’s tournament on Saturday (Feb. 7). While the Panthers and Montesanti will enjoy the win momentarily, they will get back to work to conquer the next goal on the list. “I’m going to be happy,” said Montesanti. “Come Monday I’m going to get on these kids for making a few mistakes. Our goals change. Our focus changes to sectionals. We get ready to go to Falconer and we are going to have a whole lot of competition from those Southern Tier guys.” Newfane and Barker/RoyHart will compete in the Class C tournament at Falconer. Wilson will travel to Chatauqua Lake High School for the Class D tournament. Both of those tournaments take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday (Feb. 7).
Tatro’s versatility in return to pool beneficial for Lions “Swim” from page B1 Sophomore Ethan Tatro has bounced back from an ACL surgery last year to become one of the top swimmers in the lineup this season. His ability to switch from a backstroke swimmer on JV last year to a sprinter this year enabled some other swimmers to move
into different events to help the team. “Somebody that really surprised himself was Ethan Tatro,” said Sullivan. “He swam last year on the JV as a backstroker and his sprint events have really taken off. He split 22.8 seconds at the
end of our medley relay, which allowed us some flexibility to move some of our roster into other events which further strengthened us. Some of the guys that we expected to be ‘Steady Eddies’ like Ryan Smorol and Mike Dmochowski have been all of that
and then some and added a ton of senior leadership to boot.” As Lockport enters Saturday’s (Feb. 7) Class A sectional meet at Erie Community College, it feels that it is well positioned to do some damage. Sullivan expects to have a
competitive meet and that his swimmers should be in the mix in every event that they are entered into. “I have no idea what the weekend is going to hold,” said Sullivan. “Our relays are positioned well. I think the meet is going to be very
competitive. I’m not sure how fast it’s going to be yet but I think we are going to be very competitive with our swimmers at the top of the lineup and the swimmers at the depth portion of our lineup. I have no idea where we will finish but, we are excited.”

Starpoint Wall of Fame ceremony part of special night
By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Jan. 30 was a night to remember across the board at Starpoint High School. The basketball team capped off the night by scoring six points in the final 30 seconds of the game before Ben Walters hit his second buzzer-beater of the night to give the Spartans a 59-56 overtime victory over Sweet Home. It was fitting that the night would end in spectacular fashion, since just prior to the game, Starpoint ushered in its 12th annual Wall of Fame inductees. The class featured three inductees, with two former athletes and a coach now being a part of Spartan athletics forever. John Hey became the third member of the Class of 1966 to be inducted into the Wall of Fame, and rightfully so as he still holds several school records. Hey was a three-sport ath-

Starpoint ushered in its 12th annual Wall of Fame inductees before the the boys basketball team’s overtime win against Sweet Home on Jan. 30. lete during his high school career, competing in football, wrestling and track, and he was tremendous in each sport. As a wrestler, he was a two-time Section VI champion, as well as a Western New York Class A champion in 1966. In track, he was a Section VI champion in the pole vault in 1966, and he set school records
in the pole vault, triple jump, 880-meter relay and the medley relay that still stand today. After years of running his own marketing business in Califon, New Jersey, Hey is now semi-retired and works in transportation for the Washington Township School, and the call to enter the Wall of Fame has been able to send him on a trip

down memory lane. “It’s been so long,” said Hey. “I got the call from my high school quarterback and the memories just flowed in like crazy. We were just talking and all of a sudden he said, ‘I just want to tell you that you’ve been inducted into the Wall of Fame.’ That was great! But I was more thrilled about the phone call from somebody from the past. It’s been a real memorable trip down memory lane.” While Hey hadn’t been back to Starpoint in nearly 50 years, David Parry is a 1995 graduate of Starpoint and the second athlete inducted. Parry was a three-sport standout that played football, basketball and track, but he was best known for his exploits on the track. Parry was named to the Niagara-Orleans All-
League team four times in the 400-meter hurdles and was a Section VI champion in the event in 1994. He also made the state meet twice, placing third and sixth. He holds three school records. David went on to run at the University at Buffalo, where he won the Mid-American Conference 1,500-meter decathlon in his last collegiate race in 2000. He now lives in Medina, Ohio, where he is the cross country and track coach at Revere Schools. But what he remembers most is how his former coach and current Starpoint football coach Al Cavagnaro was able to instill so much toughness. “Al Cavagnaro was my coach in football, basketball and track, and I just remember the toughness that he instilled in me,” said
Parry. “When you thought you couldn’t give anymore, he always found a way to pull a little more out of you and build a character about you to believe that you could compete against anyone. That’s something that will always stick with me.” The third and final member of the Class of 2015 is a coach that is responsible for starting the field hockey program at Starpoint and turning it into a consistent contender during her tenure. Barbara Kreuzer was a long time coach at Starpoint, dabbling in varsity volleyball for 10 years as well as varsity softball for two years and swimming for five years as an assistant. But Kreuzer is most known for the 25 years that she spent not only establishing the field hockey team, but turning it into a fourtime Section VI champion. Although she retired for coaching in 2009 and teaching in 2010, Kreuzer will be remembered for the three-straight sectional champions that she coached from 1983-1985 as well as the 1994 squad that upset the top-seeded Iroquois to advance to the regionals in Rochester. “It was the dedication of the kids,” said Kreuzer. “Back in the 1980s we were fortunate enough to have a group of young ladies that were willing and determined to play this sport because it wasn’t very popular. So it took something.” With the addition of Hey, Parry and Kreuzer, the Starpoint Wall of Fame now consists of 55 athletes and six coaches.
Littere, Wilson role players step up Starpoint second “First place” from page B1 He’s helped take a tremendous load off of Bradley and take away some of the help defenders he faces every game. “It helps immensely,” said Wilson head coach Brett Sippel. “Kyle draws two, sometimes three defenders when he penetrates and Evan is a very good jump shooter for us. When Kyle looks to find an open man to kick it out to, Evan is usually wide open. Kyle has become a better passer for it.” On top of the scoring prowess of Bradley and Shank, Wilson has gotten timely scoring from its role players when the primary options aren’t able to get it going on a given night or defenses are attempting to take them away. Littere has been one of those players who has stepped up big time this season and has stepped away from his role
as a pass-first point guard and into a scoring role at times. The senior has four doubledigit scoring games this year, including an 18-point night against rival Newfane. They have also gotten strong defense from Sarratori, who is perhaps the team’s best athlete and undeniably the best on-ball defender. Jarret Johnston has also given the Lakemen strong minutes as an interior post defender and rebounder, while Andrew Eames has come off the bench to give them scoring on the inside as well. As Wilson heads down the home stretch in the regular season, it is on a different route than it has been over the past few years, which means that Sippel can coach a little different than he has in the previous seasons. The biggest difference for
Sippel is how each player on the team has accepted his individual role, which can eliminate bickering or fights because of egos. “I think the biggest thing is how the 10 guys have collectively accepted their roles,” said Sippel. “We have a couple of guys that are obviously scoring for us, but there are other guys that have embraced the supporting role. Zach Sarratori is our best on-ball defender, he loves doing that. Joe has been our point guard and sometimes he doesn’t have a point all game but he’s still effective. “Jarret Johnston has done a good job as a post player for us. He doesn’t score a lot but he’s physical and he rebounds. Those five guys played as sophomores when we were 1-18. They have just paid their dues.”
When a team has a lot of success, particularly on a winning streak like Wilson is on, it can often get overconfident or think that it will win without having to play the game. But because the Lakemen have endured so many losses over the past few seasons, it is unlikely that Sippel will have to preach to his team that it has to keep working hard. “Coach tells us every practice before we start to not be complacent,” said Shank. “We have no room to do it. If you look back two years, we were 1-18. We lost a bunch of close games last year so we have no room to become complacent.” With a 9-0 record in the league, Wilson has a two-game lead on the secondplace team and is currently in position to be the second seed in Class B2 for sectionals.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Arianna Williams helped the Rochester Gymnastics Academy finish first in Utica. Recently, Starpoint second grader Arianna Williams, 7, competed in two gymnastics competitions. The first competition was the Leatherstocking Invitational in Utica, New York, held on Jan. 17-18. She competes for Rochester Gymnastics Academy (out of E. Rochester, NY) as a Level 4 competitor. In the 7-9 age group, Williams placed third on vault with a 9.25, fifth on beam with a 9.275, and second on bars (9.55), floor (9.55) ,and in the all-around with a 37.625. Rochester Gymnastics Academy took first place as
a team, with all of Williams’ scores contributing to the team score. On Feb. 1, Williams competed at the ‘I Love NY Cup’ held in Elmira, New York. Williams and the team had another successful weekend with the team once again finishing in first place. While recovering from a bout of the flu, she still had a strong meet. In the junior age group, she took fourth on bars with a 9.425, second on floor with a 9.45, and first on vault with an 8.80. Despite having two falls on the balance beam, she placed fifth in the all-around with a 35.45.

Rod, Gun & Game: It’s ice fishing season — time for tactics and tips By Forrest Fisher OUTDOOR COLUMNIST
The weather helps all of us decide our options for outdoor fun, especially this winter! Now that the cold has finally settled in for good, if you like fishing, it means heading for hard water and finding fish in their winter lairs — not always an easy job. If finding the fish is the hard part, then the visit I enjoyed with Lake Erie charter captain Bobby Rustowicz and Maki-Plastic/Clam/Ice-Team Pro Scott Brauer has already started to make life on the ice a bit easier. They both believe that the angler needs to stay in touch with the fish. It doesn’t matter if it is winter or summer. For both of them, that means using sonar, a high-tech fish finder of sorts. For Brauer, ice fishing success means using a Vexilar ice-fishing sonar that can identify hard bottom, soft bottom, weeds, fish movement, and also allows for interference rejection, to tune out the sonar of nearby anglers. These units are compact, portable and effective, with prices ranging from $299 to the top of the line, FLX-28, for $560 or so. Brauer says, “One of the most important factors for catching fish in the winter is identifying what the fish are looking for on the day you go fishing. The size of the bait below is your key as to what to fish with. If the bait in the area is smaller, then smaller lures will be more effective, bigger forage means larger baits and lures. There are weight forward jig heads for swimming a plastic tail vertically or horizontally, flat front side jig heads that stand
straight up that can be used to tease dormant fish into feeding, and many other options.” An expert at winning winter ice fishing contests, Brauer is not shy about telling all when it comes to helping others catch fish, find fun on the ice and adding folks to the long list of people who love to ice fish. Brauer says, “Most folks don’t really know where to start when they first think about going out to ice fish. They can be lost, never to return, if someone doesn’t help them learn the right things to do. I try to help them so they will learn so much they will get others involved too.” Brauer is autonomous. He never asks for bylines or credit; he is a super humble human. As Brauer continued to discuss his winning ice fishing finesse with Rustowicz and I, he said, “How folks know best present their offerings to the fish? How do you rig things to catch fish? It can depend on the fish mood, too; are the fish aggressive feeders today? Are the fish up-feeding today looking for minnows or rising larvae, or are they down-feeding and looking for bottom dwellers, blood worms, blue worms, stonefly nymphs and other bottom-oriented crustacean type forage?” To start out, to make your day on the ice more productive, be prepared to fish with several manners of presentation. One starting point is a simple one: the drop shot rig, using 2-pound test Trilene micro-ice line (red color is his preferred color, but likes clear on busy ice) with a bb-shot for weight and a small size 12 scud hook with a simple plastic mini-scud or mini-maki tied tail about 6 inches above the weight. You
SCOTT BRAUER
Ice fishing jigs, baits and hooks are numerous, colorful and plentiful – and tiny, adding to remove the simplicity and fun of ice fishing until the right combination of size and color and action is discovered for productive and successful fish catching. can also tie a loop knot above that single drop shot hook and add another micro-jig or another hook and bait too. Brauer is an ice-fishing master educator that uses ice jigs with live grubs and maggots, or rigged with micro-tiny maki plastic jig tails in combination with bare hooks, micro-sized titanium or lead jig heads. He will fish with bite indicators that include tip-ups and tipdowns, light action spring bobber rods, and a host of other mechanical display rigs. Brauer admits that there is really no possible way to tell someone what to use before the actual day of fishing in the spot the angler is fishing, but he adds, “Combinations can be the most deadly of winter icefishing tricks.” Brauer likes to use Hali-Sekkula spoon jigs for perch, digger head jigs that
dig into the bottom for stubborn crappie, Grumpi jigs, Doti jigs, Darti jigs and vertical jigs rigged for horizontal fishing by bending the hook to create an upward pointing elevation to allow easier hook-up with the fish. To learn more about the plastic critter jigs and head that Brauer uses, check out http:// www.makiplastic.com/bait/. It’s not always the great big things that you do when you ice fish – granted you need to be able to detect a strike and the sonar helps a lot, but to be more effective, it is often the really small changes you make to present something different, something subtle, or less colorful, or that has more action, or different action, such as jig tails hooked up backwards at times - that can make the biggest difference in catching winter fish on any single day.
To meet Brauer and learn about ice-fishing first-hand, meet with him this Saturday, Feb. 7, at the seventh free “Kids Ice-Fishing Clinic” sponsored by the Honeoye Fish and Game Club on Honeoye Lake at the state boat launch (southeast end of lake). The event begins at 9 a.m. There will be free use of equipment, ice huts, free bait and refreshments (hot chocolate) for the first 150 kids aged 15 years and under. All kids must be accompanied by a parent. For more information regarding details give Al Lis a call at 585-451-8451. Last word, get your coat on, put your gloves on, rod or not, get in your car and get out there. We can’t walk on water at too many times of the year! Enjoy! New York Coyote Contest With deer populations in some parts of New York falling rapidly due to suspected coyote over-predation of fawns during spring season, the Sullivan County Federation of Sportsmen extends an open invitation to sportsmen to attend and participate in its eighth annual Statewide 3-Day Coyote Contest set for this weekend, Feb. 6–8. Prizes are substantial, with $2,000 going to the hunter with the heaviest coyote, though a $100 prize is offered for every coyote entered. Last year, 560 hunters were registered and 53 coyotes were taken. The heaviest and winning coyote in 2014 weighed 49.30 pounds, taken by Charles Wacha of Walton, New York, hunting in Delaware County. There is a free banquet dinner to follow, entry fee is $35. For more
information and coyote applications, call 845-482-4985. Ice Fishing Report Silver Lake, Honeoye Lake, Conesus Lake and Chautauqua Lake all have 9-12 inches of hard ice. Silver Lake is slow for perch and sunfish at the south end access point at Silver Lake State Park. Honeoye Lake has good sunfish action in 6-15 feet of depth with jigs and grubs, and some chain pickerel on tip-ups and shiners for bait, all near the state boat launch at the southeast corner of the lake. At Conesus Lake, bluegills and occasional crappie are coming from the north end of the lake in 6-10 feet of water off Vitale Park. Northern pike and tiger musky are reported in 8-12 feet off McPherson point. At Chautauqua Lake, anglers are finding good action from smaller bluegill and perch in 8-15 feet of water off Mayville using jigs and grubs, or salted minnows. Most perch caught from all the lakes mentioned here have been hard to catch right now, with bigger fish in 20 feet or deeper water.

Clingersmith, NCCC baseball introduce 20 recruits By Nick Sabato SPORTS REPORTER
Niagara County Community College head coach Matt Clingersmith welcomed his newest recruiting class in what he hopes will help continue the strong tradition that he has built in his nine years at the helm. Twenty student-athletes signed national letters of intent, many of whom are local products, last weekend. Clingersmith believes the group can be the next great group of Thunderwolves. Many schools and players choose to sign individual letters of intent, but Clingersmith chose to invite each of his recruits in at the same time in a celebration of the next step on their baseball paths. “I think it’s good,” said Clingersmith. “I want to make
it as memorable as possible for them. I remember signing my national letter of intent to Canisius, and it should be a special day for these kids because they are putting in the work and confidence in us to develop them.” One of the new signees has become a bit of a legacy in the NCCC baseball family, especially since his brothers played for the Thunderwolves and he played youth baseball for the Niagara Jr. Thunderwolves under current NCCC assistant Jeff Ziemecki. Soon-to-be Lockport graduate Kyle Waple comes from a baseball family, as his father Mark is the skipper for Lewiston-Porter high school. Waple has a lot of fire and leadership qualities that the coaching staff at NCCC like and Clingersmith believes he can be the leader of an infield on a top notch squad.
The decision for the Lions’ second baseman was one that came down to finances and his comfort level with Clingersmith and Ziemecki. “It was financially better to come here before a four-year school,” said Waple. “Once I got my idea of coming here, I started talking to Jeff Ziemecki, and I played for him over the summer. I spoke to Clingersmith a lot more and it was just positive.” Another local signee is another middle infielder in Angelo Vilardo of NiagaraWheatfield, who has helped shore up the Falcons’ infield since his sophomore season. Clingersmith hopes that Vilardo’s versatility and ability to play various positions across the board will be an asset to the Thunderwolves in 2015-2016. “Angelo is a good kid,” said Clingersmith. “He’s very
athletic. He’s a glue guy. He can play a lot of positions and that’s what you look for in guys like that. He’s Johnny Utility. He can play the infield, he can play the outfield, he can hit, he can run, he’s a good bunter – he’s just a hardworking kid.” NCCC went 31-15 last season before falling in the Region III Final Four, which has become a regular occurrence under Clingersmith. Since he took over in 2007, the Thunderwolves have won the Region III championship and gone on to appear in the NJCAA Division III World Series on three occasions (2009, 2012 and 2013). That success has enabled them to expand the recruiting umbrella into Southern Ontario and into Rochester, which had been unheard of prior because of schools like Genesee Community College
and Erie Community College. “I think it’s because we are one of the better programs in the east,” said Clingersmith. “It has helped us grow and the reputation has gotten out. When I first started, it was unheard of for Rochester kids to come here because of Monroe and Genesee being so close.” For a kid like Waple, signing so much earlier and making his college decision while many of his friends are still agonizing over where they are going to attend next year takes a large burden off of his shoulders. Now he can focus on the remainder of his senior year and play his final scholastic baseball season with a clear head before he pursues a baseball career at the collegiate level while aspiring to be in the medical field. “It’s a big relief,” said Waple. “I’ve been getting all
of these college emails saying to go here or go there. I knew NCCC was the right fit for me to grow and become a better person.” Along with Waple and Vilardo NCCC also signed 18 other recruits including Loukas Bechakas (Williamsville North), James Brnik (West Seneca East), Nate Chase (Webster Schroeder), Zarley Cina (Huron Heights), Kyle Crotty (Springville), Hayden Owell (Pavilion), Dylan Flasch (South Central), Ryan Green (Penfield), Brian Hodges (Le Roy), Jordan Hrynczak (Clarence), Joel Krywcun (Maryvale), Jaret Loran (South Central), Dave Lyskawa (Williamsville North), Joe Milkowski (St. Francis), Chad Nelson (Jamestown), Brandon Nicholson (Orchard Park), Mitchell Racz (Grand Island) and Cameron Voss (Fredonia).
National telecast brings out the best for UB Bulls By Mike Haim COLUMNIST
Part of me wants to cringe every time I hear about a collegiate sporting event being played “under the bright lights” of a national television broadcast. Realistically, the lights aren’t any brighter in an arena or stadium when ESPN is in town (except for that one time about seven or eight years ago when UB had to bring in auxiliary lights for a national football telecast – but I digress). Don’t say anything about the “bright lights myth” to the 5,797 who turned out
last Friday night for a 10 p.m. game between UB and division-leading Kent State, a contest which was carried nationally on ESPN-U. The students turned out in force, complete with largehead representations of a disparate cast of characters including Bills coach Rex Ryan, “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin, and Abraham Lincoln. Reports stated that students were still flowing in midway through the first half, a vast improvement over last fall’s UB-Baylor football game (incidentally also a national broadcast), when students raced for the exits by halftime. And then there was the “mop guy” who got caught
wiping the floor as a turnover created a fast break towards his end; his mad scramble turned him into a locally trending topic on social media repositories Twitter and Vine. The sideshow was merely window dressing, though: the Bulls drew upon the energy at Alumni Arena and dominated in an 80-55 trouncing. The whole night had a magical feeling to it, as if coach Bobby Hurley’s squad treated the contest as a coming-out party. “It was a great game to be part of,” Hurley said in his post-game comments. “The energy of the crowd and the atmosphere and the way we played defensively was great.” In addition, in a season
which has seen various players take up the leadership torch, another star emerged Friday night in senior forward Xavier Ford. The 6-7 forward, the team’s only four-year member and a front-runner for Sixth Man honors, netted a career-high 25 points in his second start of the season. Toss in his 16-point performance in his first start against Western Michigan three days prior, and it’s easy to see why Ford was named MAC East Division player of the week. But it’s really been a steady, balanced show in Amherst all season: the Bulls are still undefeated (8-0) at home this season and have played a pair of highly competitive road
games against highly-ranked opponents, even holding halftime leads against Kentucky and Wisconsin. On the way, the Bulls have compiled a 14-6 overall record and are 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference; surely they’ve turning many heads after the MAC coaches’ pre-season poll placed them to finish fourth in their six-team division. At this point, a division title isn’t out of the question: the Bulls went into this past Wednesday’s road tilt against Ball State tied for 3rd in the MAC East Division, just one game behind Kent State and Akron. UB still has a road rematch with Kent State remaining (on Feb. 28) and
two games against Akron (on the road this Saturday and at home on Feb. 24). In addition, UB has yet to play Bowling Green, with whom they’re tied; the teams will play on the rural Ohio campus on Feb. 21 and again to close out regular season play on Mar. 6. In less than two seasons, Hurley has already logged an impressive 33-16 record and owns the best winning percentage ever by a UB hoops coach. He appears to be getting the Bulls on track for some remarkable success, along with any “bright lights” that may shine on them along the way. www.twitter.com/mikehaim

‘Gumby and Friends’ exhibit coming to Niagara History Center See some dear old friends again when you visit “Gumby and Friends,” the new Niagara History exhibit featuring TV’s beloved stretchy green fellow and his bendable pals. You can also re-connect with buddies from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “The Big Comfy Couch,” plus favorite Fisher-Price toys from the company born in East Aurora. Gumby and his horse, Pokey, delighted generations of children from the mid-1950s through the ‘90s with their flexible fun and the innovative clay-figure animation of creator Art Clokey, an Episcopal priest skilled in photography and clay sculpture. The growing retinue of malleable characters, including sister Minga, dinosaur Prickle, gently villainous Blockheads and g in:

series’ long television run and beyond. Boyd’s Gumby memorabilia includes the stretchable toys, stuffed figures and videos commonly found, but also Gumby slippers and tee shirts, a Gumby phone, radio, wristwatch, package of Freezer Pops, lighter, wind sock and more. A life-size, blow-up Gumby served as a mascot for his daughter Kim’s high school gymnastics team. Gumby merchandise is still popular, available in stores and online, and Boyd received a Gumby clock as a birthday gift last year. Gumby’s television run began on “The Howdy Doody Show” in 1956 and continued in various series through the late 1980s. “The Gumby Movie” was released in 1992. The television series continued airing on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network channels. Over the years, comedian Eddie Murphy portrayed a satirized Gumby on “Saturday Night Live,” and the Art Clokey documentary “Gumby Dharma” aired on PBS and the Sundance Channel, winning an Emmy for Best Documentary. Gumby will celebrate his 60th anniversary this year. He continues to entertain and make new friends through
ing, “If you’ve got a heart, then Gumby’s a part of you!” Throughout the program’s long run, Gumby merchandise filled toy shelves and video stores and was sought by not only children, but adults who also loved the characters and stories. History Center volunteer Ken Boyd was one of those grown-up Gumby fans, acquiring memorabilia as both a parent and collector, and has loaned his large assortment of Gumby treasures for this exhibit. Boyd, a Harrison Radiator retiree, Navy veteran and active professional photographer, combined his love of television animation with history as he collected Gumby items spanning the
the on-demand children’s TV channel Kabillion, comics, video games, apps and a Gumby website, http://www. gumbyworld.com/. Our Gumby fan Ken Boyd is an all-round volunteer photographer for the History Center, taking photos used for public relations efforts such as the newsletter, press releases, Facebook/Twitter and website. A Niagara Falls resident, he also photographs images depicting the changing face of Niagara County and maintains archival records for the History Center. The History Center will soon kick off a coloring contest to help introduce younger museum visitors to Gumby and his friends. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” first appeared as popular comic book characters in 1984 and became subjects of an animated television series, feature-length films and merchandise. The four turtles, named Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo after great Renaissance artists, were transformed into anthropomorphic heroes with human qualities and superpowers after exposure to toxic “ooze.” The History Center exhibit includes the Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures, their Shellraiser vehicle, and their archenemy Shredder and oth-
er foes. Ninja Turtles are still popular today as they star in a new Nickelodeon series. “The Big Comfy Couch” was a Canadian live-action children’s series which ran from 1992-2006, coming to the U.S. in 1995. The show focused on Loonette the Clown, who lives with her dolly, Molly, on their oversized couch, and has visits and adventures with friends. Each episode would teach the audience a lesson. Comfy Couch exhibit items include plush toys of Loonette and Molly, Snicklefritz the Cat, and dust bunnies Fuzzy and Wuzzy, as well as books for young children. Fisher-Price, headquartered in East Aurora, produced the Medical Kit, RolyPoly Chime Ball, Sesame Street Club House, “little people,” and many other durable plastic toys for young children, also in the exhibit. These classic toys were favorites of kids and parents alike, and Fisher-Price continues to make modern-day versions of many of them. Mutant Ninja Turtle, Comfy Couch and Fisher-Price toys were loaned to the History Center by anonymous donors. The “Gumby and Friends” exhibit will run until May 30. For information, please call the History Center at 434-7433.
