She had to play the waiting game but after six years Amy Ludwig VanDerwater can finally prove she was not lying that she had an illustrated childrenrsquos book on the way She has the hardcopy in hand and a book release party next week to prove the point

It was a little difficult over they years she said waiting to see the final edition of Forest has a Song a collection of poems exploring nature and the outdoors

ldquoI felt like everybody thought that I made the book up Itrsquos so abstract until itrsquos a thingrdquo she said ldquoPeople donrsquot say they donrsquot believe you but they sort of smile and nod at you and therersquos that look on their facerdquo

The book release party will be held from 7 to 9 pm on Tues March 26 at redFISH Art Studios located at 21 Elm St in East Aurora Books will be for sale at that time and Elm Street Bakery will provide dessert

VanDerwater a Holland resident had to learn a little patience over the years and keep busy with other writing projects until the release of ldquoForest has a Songrdquo She was excited when her collection of poems sold but over time she

began to wonder if they were ldquolost in the abyssrdquo a difficult thought for a writer

T hen the re were the illustrations an aspect over which she had no control over In the publishing world for childrenrsquos books she said an author submits a story and the editors determine the artist She could not contact the artist during the development time or make suggestions The illustratormdashin this case it was Robbin Gourleymdash interprets the poems and formulates the design structure

ldquoI used to think it would drive me crazy to not know who the artist isrdquo she said But she realized that when she wrote her poems she never had an image in mind never an exact detail or a connecting story line

She credits Gourley with the idea of having a young girl exploring the woods and fields with a dog taking the basic theme of the poems to go outside and explore and creating a way for the reader

Elma Public Library trustees spent time during a recent town meeting to discuss the potential effects of a new countywide library district

Officials with the Buffalo and Erie County Library are looking at whether it would be better to remove the Erie County Legislature from future budgetary decisions The idea is to establish a separate entity that could propose a budget and

tax rate for all the libraries but it would need voter approval for any tax increases

ldquoIt is an attempt to stabilize funding for the libraryrdquo Elma Library Board president David Engberg said at the March 13 town work session

The trustees said they wanted to discuss the issue feeling it had been misrepresented across the county for several months The proposed plan would be for county residents to vote for 11 county library

board representatives using the current county legislative districts The new elected board would replace the present county library board whose members are appointed The new board would have greater power over individual branches It would then propose a budget to voters that could be approved or rejected similar to a school board and its budget vote each May

At first glance cost estimates have risen more than $2 million for the new East Aurora Fire Hall However Design Com-mittee chairman Dan Castle announced that most of that extra cost is due to a factor out of anyonersquos control inflation The original estimate for the work occurred back in 2006

ldquoIf you know anything about anything about inflation and the cost of delaying construction in this state nothing ever gets cheaperrdquo he said ldquoIf you look at the cost of a $5 million building with inflation over seven years you get seven million bucks So wersquore right where we should be if you took that estimate and brought it up to current 2014 standards [when construction is projected to begin]rdquo

The committee asked the projectrsquos architecture and de-sign firm Bergmann Associ-ates for suggestions on cutting costs and they came back with more than 30 potential cuts and changesmdashaffecting everything from building products to design elementsmdashthat could trim costs by almost $657000 The com-mittee also asked about reducing the size of the building without affecting its functionality By narrowing some hallways and consolidating a few rooms an-other $375000 could be saved Castle reported leaving the price at around $66 million

Trustee Randy West em-

phasized that since no plans are officially set yet that price could still fluctuate more than $500000 either way ldquoWersquore somewhere in the [$6 million]-ish rangerdquo West said ldquoThatrsquos as close as we can get at this moment in timerdquo

Castle who is also the chair-man of the villagersquos Planning Commission also noted that some of the energy-efficient materials such as reflective roof shingles cost more up front than their less efficient counterparts but they provide en-ergy savings in the long run The committee also feels strongly that the pavement of the truck bays should be heated which would cost more during construction but save on snow-clearing costs and elimi-nate weather-related disability issues for emergency calls

There are other aspects still being hammered out such as how storm water will be handled whether the back of the building will be lowered or lifted to deal with different grades of the property and how many bunkrooms are needed

ldquoMy sense is there are still things we can do to bring down costs a little morerdquo Castle said ldquoBut one of the things wersquore wrestling with is what the needs are not only in 50 years but 15 years Wersquore just doing the best we can to anticipate those

changesrdquoMore details will be revealed

at a Design Committee meet-ing at the Village Hall on Main Street on Thurs March 21 at 4 pm He estimated that the committee was about halfway through the design process

Castle reminded the board that the committee has three requirements to the fire station

plans First of all they must be acceptable to the local residents

ldquoThis has to be something that they can accept that they can live withrdquo he said ldquoMy view is that Irsquom holding our commit-tee and the village to the same standards we would hold any developerrdquo

Secondly the plans must be acceptable to the fire depart-ment The third point is afford-ability

ldquoWersquore all taxpayers but at the end of the day this has to be a fully functioning fire hallrdquo Castle said

The board scheduled the committee to appear at its April 15 meeting to give another up-date which Castle said would hopefully include drawings and an in-depth PowerPoint presentation

East Aurora residents Malena Mercurio and Kayla Gurbacki meet at Taste Bistro to talk about this yearrsquos Relay for Life at SUNY Geneseo which will take place in April Malena

will be one of the speakers during the Celebrate ceremony at this yearrsquos Relay Gurbacki is the eventrsquos chairman

to follow along ldquoThis book wouldnrsquot be

this book if she werenrsquot involved Itrsquos very humbling to have something you wrote

i n t e r p r e t e d by an artist that somebody el se wou ld spend t ime on it after you

wrote and wrote and editedrdquo VanDerwater said

Writing is something she has done her whole life an interest she does not want to leave She has a degree in English from the State University of New York at Geneseo and went to Teachers College at Columbia University for her masterrsquos degree in education

She now works at many schools around the area including Holland Iroquois and Pioneer as an independent writing teacher She may assist a teacher in presenting a specific demonstration in a class or meet with faculty on staff development days to construct writing lessons and workshops for students

She also serves on the Excellence in Poetry for Children Award committee of the National Committee of Teachers of English and she is a board member of the Niagara Frontier Reading Council

Teaching the material was a good way for her to maintain her writing skillsmdashVanDerwater

said itrsquos hard to teach something when you donrsquot practice it daily In 2010 she took that concept literally when she started a blog in April which is Poetry Month For those 30 days she wrote one childrenrsquos poem daily and added a lesson afterward for anyone to read and study That month turned into 11 more as she wrote a poem every day

ldquoIt kept me feeling like not a fake writer because for years people would ask lsquowhenrsquos that book of yours coming outrsquordquo she said ldquoIt kept me writing and gave me readershiprdquo

She still maintains the blogmdashwwwamylvcommdash and updates a couple times a week She considered the daily writingsmdashsome good some not so good she saidmdashas a way to push through the writerrsquos block and see what would develop

When not writing or working in the local schools she spends time with her family on their 24-acre parcel in Holland going on hikes and looking at nature The family also has a small cabin in the Adirondacks they occasionally visit

Having always been a ldquodo-stuff personrdquo especially outside she tried to incorporate that idea in Forest has a Song

ldquoIf the book has one theme it would be to take more hikes Go out and explore away from television and electronicsrdquo she said

Estimated Cost has Risen by $2 Million

ldquoIf you look at the cost of a $5 million building with inflation over seven years you get seven

million bucksrdquo explained Design Committee chairman Dan Castle

For Old Timersquos Sake

Dear EditorRecently the postmaster general of

the US Postal Service announced that the service was going to soon eliminate Saturday delivery due to ldquopoor fi nancesrdquo But you may be surprised to fi nd the reason isnrsquot based on the ability of the Postal Service to compete in the marketplace Most importantly the postmaster canrsquot unilaterally make that decision Congress will have to approve the elimination of Saturday delivery and they may make a decision by the end of March So before you think ldquoI donrsquot care if I get mail on Saturdayrdquo itrsquos important to understand the effects this will have on jobs in the publicprivate sector seniors veterans the economy shipping costs small businesses and delivery services to rural areas Let me remind you that the Postal Service does not use your tax dollars to fund their operations

The US Postal Servicersquos last fi nancial quarter showed a profi t from its delivery operations yet showed a loss for the quarter How does that happen Well the USPS was mandated by Congress to pre-fund its retireesrsquo healthcare fund to the tune of $55 billion a year for 10 years starting in 2006 So every quarter approximately $125 billion of revenue earned by the service goes to this retiree fund No other entity in the world public or private has that kind of mandate on its revenues This fund has a positive balance of 47 billion dollars

Congress has put the USPS into its poor ldquofi nancial conditionrdquo by forcing it to fund retiree health benefi ts for workers it hasnrsquot even hired yet So you may ask yourself ldquowhy doesnrsquot Congress eliminate the mandaterdquo Well there are ideological and corporate opponents of the Post Offi ce that would love to see the Post Offi ce go away and they have their friends in Congress

They see no reason to help the Post Offi ce out of this congressionally made ldquofi nancial crisisrdquo

But how will no Saturday service affect you and the country First it will affect our sluggish economy by killing jobs There is a private sector $13 trillion national mailing industry that employs 75 million private sector workers that will be impacted by losing Saturday service So private sector workers and postal workers (many who are veterans) will lose their jobs as well which means more people on public assistance less people paying taxes because of some artifi cially made crisis Can we really afford to lose more jobs in this economy just because Congress has other priorities or just doesnrsquot care

The NALC (the union representing letter carriers) hired the independent business consulting fi rm Lazard to analyze the future prospects for the Postal Service to let them know whether the Post Offi ce could survive in the current economic and technological environment The NALC was prepared for bad news but Lazardrsquos study was upbeat about the Post Offi cersquos ability to compete due to showing strong growth in specifi c product areas and improved effi ciency The study also said to eliminate service on Saturday would be a mistake as it is a competitive advantage The study stated the most important way to improve the servicersquos fi nancial condition is to end the pre-funding mandate

Those are just a few reasons as to why I am asking you to contact your US senatorsrsquo offi ces quickly and tell them you want six-day-a-week delivery just like yoursquove been receiving it all along By doing so yoursquoll be helping yourself your community veterans and the economy with just a few calls

Dear EditorUnfortunately this olde body of

mine did not take kindly to leaving the warmth and comfort of my snug home on the designated evening Wed March 6 for the special privilege of viewing the current Aurora Players presentation of ldquoDial M for Murderrdquo Because of the extremely cold ldquobone-chillingrdquo weather wersquove been expe-riencing I have sequestered myself taking great pleasure at the lovely wintry views out of all my windows but wallowing in the luxury of not having to venture out everyday

However I was plenty saddened to miss out on the privilege of getting a front-row seat to really closely observe the art of theatre in a most intimate way available plus sharing the experi-

ence with some of the ldquoregularsrdquo who have accumulated through the years However ldquomy over the wash-line neighborrdquo Kitty informed me she had obtained a seat for the Sun March 17 presentation at 230 pm and suggested I phone in a request for the seat next to her Well I found out two of my 8 am Sunday morning Episcopal bud-dies were willing to transport me to that much cherished service wonder-fully entranced with our new priest Mother Ann Tillman To express my gratitude I invited them to join me and my neighbor That pretty much made a ldquoPartyrdquo adding a few more to the mix

The stage setting at the play was most pleasing an apartment in London

Dear EditorThe Aurora Republican Committee

meets March 20 as previously adver-tised to interview residents seeking endorsement in the upcoming elec-tion Twenty-two elected Republican Committee members will listen and ask questions looking for Republi-can values and their application Two incumbent council members and the supervisor decided they will not par-ticipate and do not want the Republican Committeersquos endorsement Instead they are announcing from their offi ce a packaged slate themselves Those coming to the meeting include the town clerk a second candidate for clerk the highway superintendent town justice and county legislator

The projects and chores of commit-tee members are often more enjoyable than writing this letter One stimulat-ing event was having Jack Kemp at a $10 wine and cheese [event] at the old Roycroft He spoke with us and answered questions from a couple hundred residents Other offi cials meet and talk with us answer questions and help with ideas including current County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw

State Senator Pat Gallivan Congress-man Chris Collins and your neighbor Assemblyman Dave DiPietro

Our town enjoys a long history of good employees working for the resi-dents including right up to the present Contrast their performance with that of the dozens of smaller governments on the West Coast In California they have sailed right onto the rocks and are fl oundering and foundering in bankruptcies Were the passengers watching cartoons

Problems and choices will always pop up in transparency discord cost of repairing deteriorated bridges maintenance of buildings relations with tenants etc Political offi ce is dif-fi cult If they fail to satisfy 10 percent of the people just once a week by the end of the year almost everybody has something to complain about

It is unfortunate that the group of three will not meet and answer ques-tions for the Aurora Republican Com-mitteersquos endorsement

If the governor and some others in New York State get their way when students at East Aurora and Iroquois and Holland pack up their lockers in June theyrsquoll likely fi nd it a bit harder to earn spending cash or put a few bucks away for college this summer

In the far-from-reality world of Albany where lawmakers make big bucks for a part-time job get extra pay for committee work and have a per-diem payment that many would trade for their weekrsquos pay a 24 percent increase in the state minimum wage rate may seem reasonable On Main Street it seems excessive

Therersquos a lot of talk about how the current mini-mum wage isnrsquot a ldquoliving wagerdquo That may be true Letrsquos not forget however that people on the low end of the income scale often pay no income tax and can even receive a ldquorefundrdquo for taxes theyrsquove never paid They often receive help paying for their food and receive free or reduced-cost health care So if the value of all the subsidies from the taxes of other workers is added to the minimum wage wersquore not so sure it isnrsquot a living wage

Apparently the Albany crowd thinks that the increased cost of a minimum wage hike will magi-cally be covered by higher prices to the consumer or by taking away money from a fat-cat executive Most of the folks in Albany havenrsquot a clue about the diffi culty in raising prices when there is a shortage of jobs or the way it feels for those lucky enough to have a job to watch as taxes and other expenses eat up their disposable income And on Main Street theyrsquod be hard-pressed to fi nd a fat-cat executive although they would fi nd plenty of small business owners who have cut or eliminated their own wages just to keep things running through an extended recession

The simple truth of an artifi cial wage increase is

that it is infl ationary Same productivity with more cost equals infl ationmdashif the business canrsquot fi nd ways to cut costs elsewhere Automation and outsourc-ing are the fi rst places businesses look to offset wage costs A big wage increase suddenly makes investing in automationndashor simply turning on the auto-attendant in an existing phone systemmdashan op-tion For businesses that have avoided outsourcing suddenly there may be no option but to use some of the many services available at a lower cost than staff

In reality supply and demand for certain jobs and job skills set the ldquoprevailingrdquo wage Thatrsquos why there are $8 an hour ldquohelp wantedrdquo signs when the minimum wage is $725 For many businesses the issue is less about the cost of the proposed $175 an hour increase in the minimum wage and more about one of fairness to all employees Take the $9 an hour employee who hasnrsquot seen a signifi cant wage increase in a few years Suddenly the minimum wage co-worker gets a big raise for no additional responsibility or productivity and is now making as much as someone with more skills or responsibil-ity To be fair every employee should receive a 24 percent pay increase to keep everyone in line with their responsibilities but there isnrsquot an likely an employer who could afford to do that So the ldquotake from the richrdquo formula thatrsquos popular in New York and Washington is really a ldquotake from the middle classrdquo formula and equalizes them with the lower-cost probably lower-skilled worker

We feel sorry for the high school and college stu-dents who may fi nd the prospects of a summer job dimmed by the proposed minimum wage increase They are likely the fi rst to learn the economic real-ity that Albany canrsquot seem to grasp there may be workers making more per hour but itrsquos a safe bet that there will be fewer hours paid

Robin Hood Government in New York

It had been a quiet week in the old hometown out here where New York routes 16 20A and 78 converge for a few blocks then head out of town in different directions It was coldmdashcolder than we wanted it to be on the cusp of spring with baseball season right around the corner The raw insidious chill that went bone deep seemed inescapable

On Wednesday night I stopped in at the offi ce (Right Field Satellite Offi ce that is southeast corner of Oakwood and Elm) to try to get warm and to see if I had any messages perform my civic duty by investing in a losing Lotto ticket (proceeds fund education in New York State you know) and have a diet pop as long as I was there Snake legendary bartender and perspicacious observer of human behavior looked me up and down in a curious manner No doubt he was confused by the fact that I was wearing a button-down Oxford cloth shirt and a natty wool sweater clean and mostly unrumpled khakis and a pair of good-enough-for-church shoes Normally when I stand at the bar Irsquom sporting one of my many work-worn threadbare paint-speckled outfi ts that most regular folks might consign to the ragbag so I must have looked very much not my usual self

ldquoLetrsquos seerdquo he said ldquoCould be a wedding or a funeral that has you dressed up but since itrsquos a Wednesday night Irsquod guess you been to traffi c court Judge likes it when you try to impress himrdquo We know each other pretty well around here donrsquot we

I didnrsquot give him the satisfaction of owning up to where Irsquod been but letrsquos just say I had it on good authority that the Town of Aurora treasury was enjoying a pretty good night that particular Wednesday If you listened carefully you could hear the municipal coffers swelling as the judge reduced every speeding ticket rolling stop unbuckled seatbelt or cell phone rap from a moving violation to a $150 parking ticket

That business about knowing each other pretty well came up again the next day I was working at my painting business struggling to transform a sowrsquos ear into a silk purse as is my specialty when the phone jingled It wasnrsquot an 800 number those I never answer because undoubtedly someone claiming that I owe them money or wanting to sell me something I donrsquot need waits on the other end It was a 537 exchange Holland or thereabouts so I took a chance Maybe someone had a painting job for me to look at

ldquoIs this Rick Ohlerrdquo the strident voice on the other end demanded

In the crime-fi ction books I read the calm cool and collected detective might have rejoined ldquoDepends who wants to knowrdquo But being neither calm cool nor collected I allowed that I was the person in question

ldquoI need to talk to you You have a minute to talkrdquo she insisted in a tone that was more an order than a question

ldquoWell what about Who is thisrdquo I said remembering a time when people had phone manners and began conversations with pleasant opening words like ldquoHow do you dordquo Or ldquoHi My name is so-and-so and Irsquom calling becauserdquo or ldquoSo-and-so gave me your name and I was wonderinghelliprdquo Not this particular caller about whom I knew little except that she was a she and was in a hurry to talk to me

Without any further explanation she launched into a story about a house in the village that had belonged to a relative of hers back in the day The house had long since been removed from its original site near the railroad tracks behind the building we today call the Ball Block She wondered if

there were photographs of the building or if I knew anything about it or if I was familiar with the family

Good fellow that I am I went into helpful mode and tried my best to remember that section of the village which was about three and a half blocks from my childhood home at 472 Oakwood I know a bit about local history although Irsquom hardly an expert Finally I summoned the nerve to ask her ldquoHow is it you came to call me about thisrdquo

ldquoWellrdquo she said ldquoI was talking with the town historian and he was busy with some other research and couldnrsquot help me right away So he said lsquoYou probably should call one of the old-timersrsquo Then your name came up and I thought Irsquod give it a tryrdquo Ouch

There are moments in onersquos life that serve as rites of passage special events that signify a transition from one life stage to another potty training crossing the street without parents riding a two-wheeler fi rst date and kiss driverrsquos license graduation fi rst apartment turning 21 marriage children grandchildren And apparently being called an old-timer for the fi rst time She did call me an old-timer didnrsquot she

Little did she know it but that lady had sucker-punched me in the solar plexus Knocked the wind right out of me Old-timer OLD-TIMER I mean Irsquom only only 60 well 62 well actually 628904 years old But I feel like a spring chicken Or at least a midsummer chicken Just because I enjoy hearing townie stories and just because I write about bygone days in my column doesnrsquot mean that Irsquom an old-timer Does it Whatrsquos next Geezer Doddering old fool

Eventually the woman hung up after she realized that not even an old-timer like I could answer her question defi nitively And it resumed being cold in the old hometown colder than I wanted it to be

Dear EditorAt some point walking home from

work on March 5 I became distracted and forgot about the envelope with a rent check in my back pocket When I remembered and then searched for the envelope at home it was nowhere to be found A week later my landlord told me the check had arrived a little dirty but it was there

Irsquom guessing some good person

saw it lying on the ground and made sure the post offi ce could deliver the payment I want to say thank you to the unknown person as it saved me from many potential problems and I hope they have a similar good turn when something in their life seems to go awry

Dear EditorHonesty and transparency are

generally believed to be good approaches Most of us would expect our Board of Education as fi nancial managers of our school tax dollar to be transpar-ent in their decision-making Based on my belief in transpar-ency three items have been on my mind Open Meetings Law executive session and the lack of a teachers contract

In an attempt to provide information on school board de-cision-making the Open Meet-ings Law was written ldquoSchool boards are public bodies the Open Meetings Law (Pub Off Law 103) requires school board meetings where school business will be discussed to be open to the publicrdquo (School Law) It does exempt items that are judicial or confi dential in nature The need for procurement or change in the needs of the district is usually discussed For example if a new position were needed or were to be extended it would be brought forward for public discussion before going to executive ses-sion for a fi nal conclusion Then it would be brought back and voted upon

This is necessary in my mind because there needs to be oppor-tunity for the public to choose

to respond Since there is only a short moment at the beginning of an agenda for public response it then excludes discussion on items that have been decided beforehand in executive ses-sion and then just placed on the agenda for a done deal vote This is not very open or transparent as far as I can see

Executive session is an inter-esting provision of the law It is necessary as I said before in cases of judicial or confi dential nature Unfortunately policy like statistics can be tweaked for meaning when there is a means to an end Although executive session provides an option for matters of appointment employment promotion demo-tion etc usually it is preceded publicly by a recommendation of need or value for a new position or change of position This ap-pears to have not occurred in the case of the superintendentrsquos raise or in the new full-time athletic directorrsquos position for $80000 At the March 6 meeting the ap-pointment of the athletic director just appeared on the agenda as a preordained deal in just the same way the superintendentrsquos raise did previously This troubles me and it should trouble you since itrsquos your tax dollar once again not being spent for student

instructionThat brings me to student in-

struction You teachers continue to work without a contract In light of all the money spent in the last couple of months on admin-istrators through raises position additions and extensions the old saw that the board just doesnrsquot have the fi nances is growing old The facts are that there has been a reduction of over 22 percent in high school classes we have gone from an eight-period day to a seven-period day and lost 76 teachers The BOE is proposing eliminating 12 more teachers at the High School and one at Parkdale Once again class sizes will be increased Please ask a teacher what that means for their classes Ask a student who struggles what itrsquos like to be lost in a sea of faces when you just donrsquot get it and you are too embarrassed to ask for help The options for students in need of help have been elimi-nated (Math Lab Reading Lab Reading Recovery Academic Support Center and a full team at Middle School) and the class sizes just keep increasing Itrsquos time for a reality checkhellipitrsquos your children your school and your community

READERSrsquo OPINIONContinued from Page 2

East Aurora School Board Lacks Transparency

Those onstage consisted of six players six well-polished professional players One beaut ifu l female Aurora Boneberg as Margot Wendice Jason Gonser as Max Holiday Marc Ruffi no as Tony Wendice Geoff Pictor as Captain Lesgate Michael Starzynski as Inspector Hubbard and Brad Felton as Thompson I must say the players were beautifully costumed in proper British natty neat trousers shirts ties jackets shoes I am assuming underwear as well So refreshing to be treated to that dressed-up ldquogentlemanrdquo look a nice contrast from that overly popular ldquoI donrsquot give a damn denimrdquo just too overly overly used today Denims were designed for the noble hardworking farmers to get them through tough hours in the barns and fi elds not here there and everywhere Ugh

The play itself is well written by Frederick Knott superbly directed by Catherine Burkhart It does require undivided attention to develop the plot to its amazing conclusion And how better to celebrate a successful stage

performance but with a ldquopotluckrdquo green dinner held in St Matthiasrsquo beautiful Arts and Crafts style parish hall All participants were attired in a bit of green We were blessed with not only delicious food and beverages but musicians You know when you sight John Whitney fl anked by Bob Sowyrda lugging musical instruments a good time is brewing We sang we clapped our hands we stomped our feet we laughed we sang Our Irish or non-Irish eyes were smiling and our hearts were happy as could be in every way

Donrsquot miss this play It is most assuredly a winner A glance at my clock tells me it is merely 930 pm and I am already cuddled up in my ldquopink velvet nighty nitesrdquo It never ceases to amaze me that as I am ever so swiftly approaching the 10th decade of a well blessed life I keep fi nding myself part of a fantastic community of wonderful loving people Along with my opportunity to fi ll my role as docent Friday night at The Roycroft Inn we were well invested in the type of celebration

of food music people that evoke such overwhelming memories that the tears of joy are impossible to hide Oh the sweet mysteries of life

The Garvey family along with John Whitney and numerous others led by that ldquoadorable imprdquo Dan Garvey put together a fabulous tribute to honor St Patrick as well as his talented brother Neal Garvey who contributed so much to Buffalorsquos famous Shakespeare in the Park productions

We all have so much to be thankful for summed up with this appropriate Irish blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do

May your purse always hold a coin or two

May the sun always shine on your window pane

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

May God fi ll your heart with gladness to cheer you

Dear EditorAbout 10 days ago my son-

in-law hit a pothole at the side of Girdle Road over Route 400 The pothole was nine to 12 inches deep and blew out both tires on the passenger side of his van He was very fortunate to avoid a serious accident I realized it was not Elmarsquos responsibility but

the next day because I was not sure who the right person to call was I called [Superintendent] Wayne Clark in the Elma Highway Department to ask about getting it fi xed Wayne thanked me for the call and said he would contact the correct highway department to correct the problem The following day

I went past the spot on Girdle Road and the pothole was fi lled in and I think it avoided the possibility of a serious accident Thanks to Wayne for his quick action in getting the problem resolved

The Iroquois School District is offering a choice to its vot-ers approve a 224 percent tax levy increase and retain existing programs or reject the budget and face cuts to school programs

Last year Iroquois board mem-bers and administrators planned two budget scenarios The fi rst which went to voters in May al-lowed for the continued operation of all three primary schools and included sports and extracurricu-lar clubs Had that proposal failed the board was ready to go back to voters in June with a budget that would close one of the primary schools and eliminate clubs and other programs May 2012 saw a high turnout at the polls ndash nearly 3000 people voted ndash and more than 60 percent of voters sup-ported the budget (The 2012-2013 budget proposal was under the tax cap and needed only a simple majority to pass)

This year the closing of an elementary school is not being considered but Superintendent Douglas Scofi eld said the district would need to make diffi cult cuts if the public doesnrsquot support the $439 million budget proposal That proposal will use a 224 percent increase in the tax levy

as well as $815579 from reserves to maintain all of the districtrsquos current programs ldquoNext year would look the same as this year or as close as wersquove gotrdquo Scofi eld explained

He also presented the Iroquois School Board with a fallback plan ldquoWe have the fi rst budget vote in Mayrdquo Scofi eld said at a budget work session ldquoIf the voters do not believe that is an appropriate budget I would recommend to the board that we have a second voterdquo The $438 million proposal for that second vote would include cuts in athletics and clubs and would include a 173 percent increase in the tax levy

If both the May and June bud-gets failed Iroquois would move to a contingent budget under which there would be no tax levy increase A contingent budget would result in larger class sizes the further elimination of clubs and athletic programs reductions in technology and equipment purchases and an increase in the use of reserve funds The district would also consider reducing AP and elective offerings ldquoI donrsquot like any of those ideas but I think thatrsquos where wersquod need to go to keep our [core] programsrdquo Scofi eld said

Speaking at a budget work ses-sion parent Sharon Szeglowski

The election of a new pope no longer has the impact it once did Yet last weekrsquos decision by the papal conclave has made even nonreligious cynics take notice

The process to replace the retiring Pope Benedict XVI seemed to transpire much faster than when previous popes had died in office When health reasons forced the hand of the outgoing pontiff it may have been one of the best things to happen to the Catholic Church in years

Pope Benedict XVI repre-sented the aging church through no fault of his own His selection in 2005 was just as carefully considered as all others but he was an older frailer man as his tenure came to a close He was not the charismatic fi gure that would have added a great deal to his chances of acceptance by a broader group of people

So enter Pope Francis a man of many fi rsts He is the fi rst pope from the Americas the fi rst Hispanic pope and the fi rst Jesuit pope His age (76) may be an issue to some people but his humility has had an instantaneous effect Popes are generally not younger men but Pope Francis shows an affi nity for the poor and underprivileged that transcends time

It was his namesake St Fran-cis of Assisi who demonstrated a simpler lifestyle at a time when the church was in crisis His humanitarian acts and teachings forged a bond between the clergy and those who could benefi t the most from it It was a path as old as the golden rule ldquoDo unto others as you would have them do unto yourdquo

Iroquois Offers Budget Choiceworried that voters might see a ldquofalse choicerdquo between the fi rst budget proposal in May and a possible second vote The 224 proposal ldquois not luxuries itrsquos not everything cut in the past itrsquos bare bonesrdquo Szeglowski said ldquoAt what point do we say lsquoWe have cut enoughrsquordquo

Board member Charles Specht said that for the district a 224 per-cent tax levy increase would mean maintaining the status quo while 173 percent increase would mean ldquoa reduction in services whether it be sports or music or clubs or class sizerdquo That is the choice the board is giving the public ldquoAs a member of this board Irsquove sat through years of watching things being taken away from our kids and its really hard to dordquo he added

Scofi eld noted that some resi-dents have lobbied for the return of previously cut programs some-thing that canrsquot be accomplished under the 224 percent tax levy increase plan ldquoThe 224 does have a cost to it both to the students in terms of programs and to the taxpayer [in terms of taxes]hellip but this is what we think is the best for the students and the most cost effectiverdquo Scofi eld said

The last of Iroquoisrsquo budget work sessions was March 5 but the effort to share information with the public is continuing A budget hearing is scheduled for May 8 with the public vote on the 2013-2014 budget slated for May 21

SWEET NAMED TODEANrsquoS LIST

Alicia M Sweet of East Au-rora an exercise and sport sci-ence major at Coastal Carolina University in Conway SC was named to the Deanrsquos List for the fall 2012 semester

More fitting are the lines from the Prayer of St Francis ldquoWhere there is despair [let me sow] hope where there is dark-ness light and where there is sadness joyrdquo

Everyone walking the planet

needs some of these blessingsFrom his quickly crafted biog-

raphy we learn that the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Ar-

gentina has endured the type of serious medical issues that make him grateful for each new day He comes from a simple family legacy that will serve him well in reaching to people of all faiths or no religious conviction at all

While I realize not everyone is Catholic or even Christian this legacy offers a common ground where prejudices are out of place I was taught that serving others is an obligation of all educated people

According to the Vatican web-site Pope Francis has chosen the motto ldquoMiserando atque eligendordquo meaning lowly but chosen

ldquoThe motto is one the Pope had already chosen as Bishop It is taken from St Matthewrsquos

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Immaculate Conceptionrsquos basketball team coached by Troy Ford and Brian Kelly earned a 9-1 record this season Shown here are (bottom row) Aiden Kelly and Marco Alaimo (middle row) London Sexton Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe

Hunter Keem and Jacob Metro (top row) coach Brian Kelly Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and coach Troy Ford Jack McDonald is missing from the picture

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

For Old Timersquos Sake

Dear EditorRecently the postmaster general of

the US Postal Service announced that the service was going to soon eliminate Saturday delivery due to ldquopoor fi nancesrdquo But you may be surprised to fi nd the reason isnrsquot based on the ability of the Postal Service to compete in the marketplace Most importantly the postmaster canrsquot unilaterally make that decision Congress will have to approve the elimination of Saturday delivery and they may make a decision by the end of March So before you think ldquoI donrsquot care if I get mail on Saturdayrdquo itrsquos important to understand the effects this will have on jobs in the publicprivate sector seniors veterans the economy shipping costs small businesses and delivery services to rural areas Let me remind you that the Postal Service does not use your tax dollars to fund their operations

The US Postal Servicersquos last fi nancial quarter showed a profi t from its delivery operations yet showed a loss for the quarter How does that happen Well the USPS was mandated by Congress to pre-fund its retireesrsquo healthcare fund to the tune of $55 billion a year for 10 years starting in 2006 So every quarter approximately $125 billion of revenue earned by the service goes to this retiree fund No other entity in the world public or private has that kind of mandate on its revenues This fund has a positive balance of 47 billion dollars

Congress has put the USPS into its poor ldquofi nancial conditionrdquo by forcing it to fund retiree health benefi ts for workers it hasnrsquot even hired yet So you may ask yourself ldquowhy doesnrsquot Congress eliminate the mandaterdquo Well there are ideological and corporate opponents of the Post Offi ce that would love to see the Post Offi ce go away and they have their friends in Congress

They see no reason to help the Post Offi ce out of this congressionally made ldquofi nancial crisisrdquo

But how will no Saturday service affect you and the country First it will affect our sluggish economy by killing jobs There is a private sector $13 trillion national mailing industry that employs 75 million private sector workers that will be impacted by losing Saturday service So private sector workers and postal workers (many who are veterans) will lose their jobs as well which means more people on public assistance less people paying taxes because of some artifi cially made crisis Can we really afford to lose more jobs in this economy just because Congress has other priorities or just doesnrsquot care

The NALC (the union representing letter carriers) hired the independent business consulting fi rm Lazard to analyze the future prospects for the Postal Service to let them know whether the Post Offi ce could survive in the current economic and technological environment The NALC was prepared for bad news but Lazardrsquos study was upbeat about the Post Offi cersquos ability to compete due to showing strong growth in specifi c product areas and improved effi ciency The study also said to eliminate service on Saturday would be a mistake as it is a competitive advantage The study stated the most important way to improve the servicersquos fi nancial condition is to end the pre-funding mandate

Those are just a few reasons as to why I am asking you to contact your US senatorsrsquo offi ces quickly and tell them you want six-day-a-week delivery just like yoursquove been receiving it all along By doing so yoursquoll be helping yourself your community veterans and the economy with just a few calls

Dear EditorUnfortunately this olde body of

mine did not take kindly to leaving the warmth and comfort of my snug home on the designated evening Wed March 6 for the special privilege of viewing the current Aurora Players presentation of ldquoDial M for Murderrdquo Because of the extremely cold ldquobone-chillingrdquo weather wersquove been expe-riencing I have sequestered myself taking great pleasure at the lovely wintry views out of all my windows but wallowing in the luxury of not having to venture out everyday

However I was plenty saddened to miss out on the privilege of getting a front-row seat to really closely observe the art of theatre in a most intimate way available plus sharing the experi-

ence with some of the ldquoregularsrdquo who have accumulated through the years However ldquomy over the wash-line neighborrdquo Kitty informed me she had obtained a seat for the Sun March 17 presentation at 230 pm and suggested I phone in a request for the seat next to her Well I found out two of my 8 am Sunday morning Episcopal bud-dies were willing to transport me to that much cherished service wonder-fully entranced with our new priest Mother Ann Tillman To express my gratitude I invited them to join me and my neighbor That pretty much made a ldquoPartyrdquo adding a few more to the mix

The stage setting at the play was most pleasing an apartment in London

Dear EditorThe Aurora Republican Committee

meets March 20 as previously adver-tised to interview residents seeking endorsement in the upcoming elec-tion Twenty-two elected Republican Committee members will listen and ask questions looking for Republi-can values and their application Two incumbent council members and the supervisor decided they will not par-ticipate and do not want the Republican Committeersquos endorsement Instead they are announcing from their offi ce a packaged slate themselves Those coming to the meeting include the town clerk a second candidate for clerk the highway superintendent town justice and county legislator

The projects and chores of commit-tee members are often more enjoyable than writing this letter One stimulat-ing event was having Jack Kemp at a $10 wine and cheese [event] at the old Roycroft He spoke with us and answered questions from a couple hundred residents Other offi cials meet and talk with us answer questions and help with ideas including current County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw

State Senator Pat Gallivan Congress-man Chris Collins and your neighbor Assemblyman Dave DiPietro

Our town enjoys a long history of good employees working for the resi-dents including right up to the present Contrast their performance with that of the dozens of smaller governments on the West Coast In California they have sailed right onto the rocks and are fl oundering and foundering in bankruptcies Were the passengers watching cartoons

Problems and choices will always pop up in transparency discord cost of repairing deteriorated bridges maintenance of buildings relations with tenants etc Political offi ce is dif-fi cult If they fail to satisfy 10 percent of the people just once a week by the end of the year almost everybody has something to complain about

It is unfortunate that the group of three will not meet and answer ques-tions for the Aurora Republican Com-mitteersquos endorsement

Dial M for lsquoM-a-a-a-a-velousrsquo

Continued on Page 4

If the governor and some others in New York State get their way when students at East Aurora and Iroquois and Holland pack up their lockers in June theyrsquoll likely fi nd it a bit harder to earn spending cash or put a few bucks away for college this summer

In the far-from-reality world of Albany where lawmakers make big bucks for a part-time job get extra pay for committee work and have a per-diem payment that many would trade for their weekrsquos pay a 24 percent increase in the state minimum wage rate may seem reasonable On Main Street it seems excessive

Therersquos a lot of talk about how the current mini-mum wage isnrsquot a ldquoliving wagerdquo That may be true Letrsquos not forget however that people on the low end of the income scale often pay no income tax and can even receive a ldquorefundrdquo for taxes theyrsquove never paid They often receive help paying for their food and receive free or reduced-cost health care So if the value of all the subsidies from the taxes of other workers is added to the minimum wage wersquore not so sure it isnrsquot a living wage

Apparently the Albany crowd thinks that the increased cost of a minimum wage hike will magi-cally be covered by higher prices to the consumer or by taking away money from a fat-cat executive Most of the folks in Albany havenrsquot a clue about the diffi culty in raising prices when there is a shortage of jobs or the way it feels for those lucky enough to have a job to watch as taxes and other expenses eat up their disposable income And on Main Street theyrsquod be hard-pressed to fi nd a fat-cat executive although they would fi nd plenty of small business owners who have cut or eliminated their own wages just to keep things running through an extended recession

The simple truth of an artifi cial wage increase is

that it is infl ationary Same productivity with more cost equals infl ationmdashif the business canrsquot fi nd ways to cut costs elsewhere Automation and outsourc-ing are the fi rst places businesses look to offset wage costs A big wage increase suddenly makes investing in automationndashor simply turning on the auto-attendant in an existing phone systemmdashan op-tion For businesses that have avoided outsourcing suddenly there may be no option but to use some of the many services available at a lower cost than staff

In reality supply and demand for certain jobs and job skills set the ldquoprevailingrdquo wage Thatrsquos why there are $8 an hour ldquohelp wantedrdquo signs when the minimum wage is $725 For many businesses the issue is less about the cost of the proposed $175 an hour increase in the minimum wage and more about one of fairness to all employees Take the $9 an hour employee who hasnrsquot seen a signifi cant wage increase in a few years Suddenly the minimum wage co-worker gets a big raise for no additional responsibility or productivity and is now making as much as someone with more skills or responsibil-ity To be fair every employee should receive a 24 percent pay increase to keep everyone in line with their responsibilities but there isnrsquot an likely an employer who could afford to do that So the ldquotake from the richrdquo formula thatrsquos popular in New York and Washington is really a ldquotake from the middle classrdquo formula and equalizes them with the lower-cost probably lower-skilled worker

We feel sorry for the high school and college stu-dents who may fi nd the prospects of a summer job dimmed by the proposed minimum wage increase They are likely the fi rst to learn the economic real-ity that Albany canrsquot seem to grasp there may be workers making more per hour but itrsquos a safe bet that there will be fewer hours paid

Robin Hood Government in New York

It had been a quiet week in the old hometown out here where New York routes 16 20A and 78 converge for a few blocks then head out of town in different directions It was coldmdashcolder than we wanted it to be on the cusp of spring with baseball season right around the corner The raw insidious chill that went bone deep seemed inescapable

On Wednesday night I stopped in at the offi ce (Right Field Satellite Offi ce that is southeast corner of Oakwood and Elm) to try to get warm and to see if I had any messages perform my civic duty by investing in a losing Lotto ticket (proceeds fund education in New York State you know) and have a diet pop as long as I was there Snake legendary bartender and perspicacious observer of human behavior looked me up and down in a curious manner No doubt he was confused by the fact that I was wearing a button-down Oxford cloth shirt and a natty wool sweater clean and mostly unrumpled khakis and a pair of good-enough-for-church shoes Normally when I stand at the bar Irsquom sporting one of my many work-worn threadbare paint-speckled outfi ts that most regular folks might consign to the ragbag so I must have looked very much not my usual self

ldquoLetrsquos seerdquo he said ldquoCould be a wedding or a funeral that has you dressed up but since itrsquos a Wednesday night Irsquod guess you been to traffi c court Judge likes it when you try to impress himrdquo We know each other pretty well around here donrsquot we

I didnrsquot give him the satisfaction of owning up to where Irsquod been but letrsquos just say I had it on good authority that the Town of Aurora treasury was enjoying a pretty good night that particular Wednesday If you listened carefully you could hear the municipal coffers swelling as the judge reduced every speeding ticket rolling stop unbuckled seatbelt or cell phone rap from a moving violation to a $150 parking ticket

That business about knowing each other pretty well came up again the next day I was working at my painting business struggling to transform a sowrsquos ear into a silk purse as is my specialty when the phone jingled It wasnrsquot an 800 number those I never answer because undoubtedly someone claiming that I owe them money or wanting to sell me something I donrsquot need waits on the other end It was a 537 exchange Holland or thereabouts so I took a chance Maybe someone had a painting job for me to look at

ldquoIs this Rick Ohlerrdquo the strident voice on the other end demanded

In the crime-fi ction books I read the calm cool and collected detective might have rejoined ldquoDepends who wants to knowrdquo But being neither calm cool nor collected I allowed that I was the person in question

ldquoI need to talk to you You have a minute to talkrdquo she insisted in a tone that was more an order than a question

ldquoWell what about Who is thisrdquo I said remembering a time when people had phone manners and began conversations with pleasant opening words like ldquoHow do you dordquo Or ldquoHi My name is so-and-so and Irsquom calling becauserdquo or ldquoSo-and-so gave me your name and I was wonderinghelliprdquo Not this particular caller about whom I knew little except that she was a she and was in a hurry to talk to me

Without any further explanation she launched into a story about a house in the village that had belonged to a relative of hers back in the day The house had long since been removed from its original site near the railroad tracks behind the building we today call the Ball Block She wondered if

there were photographs of the building or if I knew anything about it or if I was familiar with the family

Good fellow that I am I went into helpful mode and tried my best to remember that section of the village which was about three and a half blocks from my childhood home at 472 Oakwood I know a bit about local history although Irsquom hardly an expert Finally I summoned the nerve to ask her ldquoHow is it you came to call me about thisrdquo

ldquoWellrdquo she said ldquoI was talking with the town historian and he was busy with some other research and couldnrsquot help me right away So he said lsquoYou probably should call one of the old-timersrsquo Then your name came up and I thought Irsquod give it a tryrdquo Ouch

There are moments in onersquos life that serve as rites of passage special events that signify a transition from one life stage to another potty training crossing the street without parents riding a two-wheeler fi rst date and kiss driverrsquos license graduation fi rst apartment turning 21 marriage children grandchildren And apparently being called an old-timer for the fi rst time She did call me an old-timer didnrsquot she

Little did she know it but that lady had sucker-punched me in the solar plexus Knocked the wind right out of me Old-timer OLD-TIMER I mean Irsquom only only 60 well 62 well actually 628904 years old But I feel like a spring chicken Or at least a midsummer chicken Just because I enjoy hearing townie stories and just because I write about bygone days in my column doesnrsquot mean that Irsquom an old-timer Does it Whatrsquos next Geezer Doddering old fool

Eventually the woman hung up after she realized that not even an old-timer like I could answer her question defi nitively And it resumed being cold in the old hometown colder than I wanted it to be

Dear EditorAt some point walking home from

work on March 5 I became distracted and forgot about the envelope with a rent check in my back pocket When I remembered and then searched for the envelope at home it was nowhere to be found A week later my landlord told me the check had arrived a little dirty but it was there

Irsquom guessing some good person

saw it lying on the ground and made sure the post offi ce could deliver the payment I want to say thank you to the unknown person as it saved me from many potential problems and I hope they have a similar good turn when something in their life seems to go awry

Dear EditorHonesty and transparency are

generally believed to be good approaches Most of us would expect our Board of Education as fi nancial managers of our school tax dollar to be transpar-ent in their decision-making Based on my belief in transpar-ency three items have been on my mind Open Meetings Law executive session and the lack of a teachers contract

In an attempt to provide information on school board de-cision-making the Open Meet-ings Law was written ldquoSchool boards are public bodies the Open Meetings Law (Pub Off Law 103) requires school board meetings where school business will be discussed to be open to the publicrdquo (School Law) It does exempt items that are judicial or confi dential in nature The need for procurement or change in the needs of the district is usually discussed For example if a new position were needed or were to be extended it would be brought forward for public discussion before going to executive ses-sion for a fi nal conclusion Then it would be brought back and voted upon

This is necessary in my mind because there needs to be oppor-tunity for the public to choose

to respond Since there is only a short moment at the beginning of an agenda for public response it then excludes discussion on items that have been decided beforehand in executive ses-sion and then just placed on the agenda for a done deal vote This is not very open or transparent as far as I can see

Executive session is an inter-esting provision of the law It is necessary as I said before in cases of judicial or confi dential nature Unfortunately policy like statistics can be tweaked for meaning when there is a means to an end Although executive session provides an option for matters of appointment employment promotion demo-tion etc usually it is preceded publicly by a recommendation of need or value for a new position or change of position This ap-pears to have not occurred in the case of the superintendentrsquos raise or in the new full-time athletic directorrsquos position for $80000 At the March 6 meeting the ap-pointment of the athletic director just appeared on the agenda as a preordained deal in just the same way the superintendentrsquos raise did previously This troubles me and it should trouble you since itrsquos your tax dollar once again not being spent for student

instructionThat brings me to student in-

struction You teachers continue to work without a contract In light of all the money spent in the last couple of months on admin-istrators through raises position additions and extensions the old saw that the board just doesnrsquot have the fi nances is growing old The facts are that there has been a reduction of over 22 percent in high school classes we have gone from an eight-period day to a seven-period day and lost 76 teachers The BOE is proposing eliminating 12 more teachers at the High School and one at Parkdale Once again class sizes will be increased Please ask a teacher what that means for their classes Ask a student who struggles what itrsquos like to be lost in a sea of faces when you just donrsquot get it and you are too embarrassed to ask for help The options for students in need of help have been elimi-nated (Math Lab Reading Lab Reading Recovery Academic Support Center and a full team at Middle School) and the class sizes just keep increasing Itrsquos time for a reality checkhellipitrsquos your children your school and your community

READERSrsquo OPINIONContinued from Page 2

East Aurora School Board Lacks Transparency

Those onstage consisted of six players six well-polished professional players One beaut ifu l female Aurora Boneberg as Margot Wendice Jason Gonser as Max Holiday Marc Ruffi no as Tony Wendice Geoff Pictor as Captain Lesgate Michael Starzynski as Inspector Hubbard and Brad Felton as Thompson I must say the players were beautifully costumed in proper British natty neat trousers shirts ties jackets shoes I am assuming underwear as well So refreshing to be treated to that dressed-up ldquogentlemanrdquo look a nice contrast from that overly popular ldquoI donrsquot give a damn denimrdquo just too overly overly used today Denims were designed for the noble hardworking farmers to get them through tough hours in the barns and fi elds not here there and everywhere Ugh

The play itself is well written by Frederick Knott superbly directed by Catherine Burkhart It does require undivided attention to develop the plot to its amazing conclusion And how better to celebrate a successful stage

performance but with a ldquopotluckrdquo green dinner held in St Matthiasrsquo beautiful Arts and Crafts style parish hall All participants were attired in a bit of green We were blessed with not only delicious food and beverages but musicians You know when you sight John Whitney fl anked by Bob Sowyrda lugging musical instruments a good time is brewing We sang we clapped our hands we stomped our feet we laughed we sang Our Irish or non-Irish eyes were smiling and our hearts were happy as could be in every way

Donrsquot miss this play It is most assuredly a winner A glance at my clock tells me it is merely 930 pm and I am already cuddled up in my ldquopink velvet nighty nitesrdquo It never ceases to amaze me that as I am ever so swiftly approaching the 10th decade of a well blessed life I keep fi nding myself part of a fantastic community of wonderful loving people Along with my opportunity to fi ll my role as docent Friday night at The Roycroft Inn we were well invested in the type of celebration

of food music people that evoke such overwhelming memories that the tears of joy are impossible to hide Oh the sweet mysteries of life

The Garvey family along with John Whitney and numerous others led by that ldquoadorable imprdquo Dan Garvey put together a fabulous tribute to honor St Patrick as well as his talented brother Neal Garvey who contributed so much to Buffalorsquos famous Shakespeare in the Park productions

We all have so much to be thankful for summed up with this appropriate Irish blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do

May your purse always hold a coin or two

May the sun always shine on your window pane

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

May God fi ll your heart with gladness to cheer you

Dear EditorAbout 10 days ago my son-

in-law hit a pothole at the side of Girdle Road over Route 400 The pothole was nine to 12 inches deep and blew out both tires on the passenger side of his van He was very fortunate to avoid a serious accident I realized it was not Elmarsquos responsibility but

the next day because I was not sure who the right person to call was I called [Superintendent] Wayne Clark in the Elma Highway Department to ask about getting it fi xed Wayne thanked me for the call and said he would contact the correct highway department to correct the problem The following day

I went past the spot on Girdle Road and the pothole was fi lled in and I think it avoided the possibility of a serious accident Thanks to Wayne for his quick action in getting the problem resolved

The Iroquois School District is offering a choice to its vot-ers approve a 224 percent tax levy increase and retain existing programs or reject the budget and face cuts to school programs

Last year Iroquois board mem-bers and administrators planned two budget scenarios The fi rst which went to voters in May al-lowed for the continued operation of all three primary schools and included sports and extracurricu-lar clubs Had that proposal failed the board was ready to go back to voters in June with a budget that would close one of the primary schools and eliminate clubs and other programs May 2012 saw a high turnout at the polls ndash nearly 3000 people voted ndash and more than 60 percent of voters sup-ported the budget (The 2012-2013 budget proposal was under the tax cap and needed only a simple majority to pass)

This year the closing of an elementary school is not being considered but Superintendent Douglas Scofi eld said the district would need to make diffi cult cuts if the public doesnrsquot support the $439 million budget proposal That proposal will use a 224 percent increase in the tax levy

as well as $815579 from reserves to maintain all of the districtrsquos current programs ldquoNext year would look the same as this year or as close as wersquove gotrdquo Scofi eld explained

He also presented the Iroquois School Board with a fallback plan ldquoWe have the fi rst budget vote in Mayrdquo Scofi eld said at a budget work session ldquoIf the voters do not believe that is an appropriate budget I would recommend to the board that we have a second voterdquo The $438 million proposal for that second vote would include cuts in athletics and clubs and would include a 173 percent increase in the tax levy

If both the May and June bud-gets failed Iroquois would move to a contingent budget under which there would be no tax levy increase A contingent budget would result in larger class sizes the further elimination of clubs and athletic programs reductions in technology and equipment purchases and an increase in the use of reserve funds The district would also consider reducing AP and elective offerings ldquoI donrsquot like any of those ideas but I think thatrsquos where wersquod need to go to keep our [core] programsrdquo Scofi eld said

Speaking at a budget work ses-sion parent Sharon Szeglowski

The election of a new pope no longer has the impact it once did Yet last weekrsquos decision by the papal conclave has made even nonreligious cynics take notice

The process to replace the retiring Pope Benedict XVI seemed to transpire much faster than when previous popes had died in office When health reasons forced the hand of the outgoing pontiff it may have been one of the best things to happen to the Catholic Church in years

Pope Benedict XVI repre-sented the aging church through no fault of his own His selection in 2005 was just as carefully considered as all others but he was an older frailer man as his tenure came to a close He was not the charismatic fi gure that would have added a great deal to his chances of acceptance by a broader group of people

So enter Pope Francis a man of many fi rsts He is the fi rst pope from the Americas the fi rst Hispanic pope and the fi rst Jesuit pope His age (76) may be an issue to some people but his humility has had an instantaneous effect Popes are generally not younger men but Pope Francis shows an affi nity for the poor and underprivileged that transcends time

It was his namesake St Fran-cis of Assisi who demonstrated a simpler lifestyle at a time when the church was in crisis His humanitarian acts and teachings forged a bond between the clergy and those who could benefi t the most from it It was a path as old as the golden rule ldquoDo unto others as you would have them do unto yourdquo

Iroquois Offers Budget Choiceworried that voters might see a ldquofalse choicerdquo between the fi rst budget proposal in May and a possible second vote The 224 proposal ldquois not luxuries itrsquos not everything cut in the past itrsquos bare bonesrdquo Szeglowski said ldquoAt what point do we say lsquoWe have cut enoughrsquordquo

Board member Charles Specht said that for the district a 224 per-cent tax levy increase would mean maintaining the status quo while 173 percent increase would mean ldquoa reduction in services whether it be sports or music or clubs or class sizerdquo That is the choice the board is giving the public ldquoAs a member of this board Irsquove sat through years of watching things being taken away from our kids and its really hard to dordquo he added

Scofi eld noted that some resi-dents have lobbied for the return of previously cut programs some-thing that canrsquot be accomplished under the 224 percent tax levy increase plan ldquoThe 224 does have a cost to it both to the students in terms of programs and to the taxpayer [in terms of taxes]hellip but this is what we think is the best for the students and the most cost effectiverdquo Scofi eld said

The last of Iroquoisrsquo budget work sessions was March 5 but the effort to share information with the public is continuing A budget hearing is scheduled for May 8 with the public vote on the 2013-2014 budget slated for May 21

SWEET NAMED TODEANrsquoS LIST

Alicia M Sweet of East Au-rora an exercise and sport sci-ence major at Coastal Carolina University in Conway SC was named to the Deanrsquos List for the fall 2012 semester

More fitting are the lines from the Prayer of St Francis ldquoWhere there is despair [let me sow] hope where there is dark-ness light and where there is sadness joyrdquo

Everyone walking the planet

needs some of these blessingsFrom his quickly crafted biog-

raphy we learn that the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Ar-

gentina has endured the type of serious medical issues that make him grateful for each new day He comes from a simple family legacy that will serve him well in reaching to people of all faiths or no religious conviction at all

While I realize not everyone is Catholic or even Christian this legacy offers a common ground where prejudices are out of place I was taught that serving others is an obligation of all educated people

According to the Vatican web-site Pope Francis has chosen the motto ldquoMiserando atque eligendordquo meaning lowly but chosen

ldquoThe motto is one the Pope had already chosen as Bishop It is taken from St Matthewrsquos

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

generally believed to be good approaches Most of us would expect our Board of Education as fi nancial managers of our school tax dollar to be transpar-ent in their decision-making Based on my belief in transpar-ency three items have been on my mind Open Meetings Law executive session and the lack of a teachers contract

In an attempt to provide information on school board de-cision-making the Open Meet-ings Law was written ldquoSchool boards are public bodies the Open Meetings Law (Pub Off Law 103) requires school board meetings where school business will be discussed to be open to the publicrdquo (School Law) It does exempt items that are judicial or confi dential in nature The need for procurement or change in the needs of the district is usually discussed For example if a new position were needed or were to be extended it would be brought forward for public discussion before going to executive ses-sion for a fi nal conclusion Then it would be brought back and voted upon

This is necessary in my mind because there needs to be oppor-tunity for the public to choose

to respond Since there is only a short moment at the beginning of an agenda for public response it then excludes discussion on items that have been decided beforehand in executive ses-sion and then just placed on the agenda for a done deal vote This is not very open or transparent as far as I can see

Executive session is an inter-esting provision of the law It is necessary as I said before in cases of judicial or confi dential nature Unfortunately policy like statistics can be tweaked for meaning when there is a means to an end Although executive session provides an option for matters of appointment employment promotion demo-tion etc usually it is preceded publicly by a recommendation of need or value for a new position or change of position This ap-pears to have not occurred in the case of the superintendentrsquos raise or in the new full-time athletic directorrsquos position for $80000 At the March 6 meeting the ap-pointment of the athletic director just appeared on the agenda as a preordained deal in just the same way the superintendentrsquos raise did previously This troubles me and it should trouble you since itrsquos your tax dollar once again not being spent for student

instructionThat brings me to student in-

struction You teachers continue to work without a contract In light of all the money spent in the last couple of months on admin-istrators through raises position additions and extensions the old saw that the board just doesnrsquot have the fi nances is growing old The facts are that there has been a reduction of over 22 percent in high school classes we have gone from an eight-period day to a seven-period day and lost 76 teachers The BOE is proposing eliminating 12 more teachers at the High School and one at Parkdale Once again class sizes will be increased Please ask a teacher what that means for their classes Ask a student who struggles what itrsquos like to be lost in a sea of faces when you just donrsquot get it and you are too embarrassed to ask for help The options for students in need of help have been elimi-nated (Math Lab Reading Lab Reading Recovery Academic Support Center and a full team at Middle School) and the class sizes just keep increasing Itrsquos time for a reality checkhellipitrsquos your children your school and your community

East Aurora School Board Lacks Transparency

Those onstage consisted of six players six well-polished professional players One beaut ifu l female Aurora Boneberg as Margot Wendice Jason Gonser as Max Holiday Marc Ruffi no as Tony Wendice Geoff Pictor as Captain Lesgate Michael Starzynski as Inspector Hubbard and Brad Felton as Thompson I must say the players were beautifully costumed in proper British natty neat trousers shirts ties jackets shoes I am assuming underwear as well So refreshing to be treated to that dressed-up ldquogentlemanrdquo look a nice contrast from that overly popular ldquoI donrsquot give a damn denimrdquo just too overly overly used today Denims were designed for the noble hardworking farmers to get them through tough hours in the barns and fi elds not here there and everywhere Ugh

The play itself is well written by Frederick Knott superbly directed by Catherine Burkhart It does require undivided attention to develop the plot to its amazing conclusion And how better to celebrate a successful stage

performance but with a ldquopotluckrdquo green dinner held in St Matthiasrsquo beautiful Arts and Crafts style parish hall All participants were attired in a bit of green We were blessed with not only delicious food and beverages but musicians You know when you sight John Whitney fl anked by Bob Sowyrda lugging musical instruments a good time is brewing We sang we clapped our hands we stomped our feet we laughed we sang Our Irish or non-Irish eyes were smiling and our hearts were happy as could be in every way

Donrsquot miss this play It is most assuredly a winner A glance at my clock tells me it is merely 930 pm and I am already cuddled up in my ldquopink velvet nighty nitesrdquo It never ceases to amaze me that as I am ever so swiftly approaching the 10th decade of a well blessed life I keep fi nding myself part of a fantastic community of wonderful loving people Along with my opportunity to fi ll my role as docent Friday night at The Roycroft Inn we were well invested in the type of celebration

of food music people that evoke such overwhelming memories that the tears of joy are impossible to hide Oh the sweet mysteries of life

The Garvey family along with John Whitney and numerous others led by that ldquoadorable imprdquo Dan Garvey put together a fabulous tribute to honor St Patrick as well as his talented brother Neal Garvey who contributed so much to Buffalorsquos famous Shakespeare in the Park productions

We all have so much to be thankful for summed up with this appropriate Irish blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do

May your purse always hold a coin or two

May the sun always shine on your window pane

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

May God fi ll your heart with gladness to cheer you

Dear EditorAbout 10 days ago my son-

in-law hit a pothole at the side of Girdle Road over Route 400 The pothole was nine to 12 inches deep and blew out both tires on the passenger side of his van He was very fortunate to avoid a serious accident I realized it was not Elmarsquos responsibility but

the next day because I was not sure who the right person to call was I called [Superintendent] Wayne Clark in the Elma Highway Department to ask about getting it fi xed Wayne thanked me for the call and said he would contact the correct highway department to correct the problem The following day

I went past the spot on Girdle Road and the pothole was fi lled in and I think it avoided the possibility of a serious accident Thanks to Wayne for his quick action in getting the problem resolved

The Iroquois School District is offering a choice to its vot-ers approve a 224 percent tax levy increase and retain existing programs or reject the budget and face cuts to school programs

Last year Iroquois board mem-bers and administrators planned two budget scenarios The fi rst which went to voters in May al-lowed for the continued operation of all three primary schools and included sports and extracurricu-lar clubs Had that proposal failed the board was ready to go back to voters in June with a budget that would close one of the primary schools and eliminate clubs and other programs May 2012 saw a high turnout at the polls ndash nearly 3000 people voted ndash and more than 60 percent of voters sup-ported the budget (The 2012-2013 budget proposal was under the tax cap and needed only a simple majority to pass)

This year the closing of an elementary school is not being considered but Superintendent Douglas Scofi eld said the district would need to make diffi cult cuts if the public doesnrsquot support the $439 million budget proposal That proposal will use a 224 percent increase in the tax levy

as well as $815579 from reserves to maintain all of the districtrsquos current programs ldquoNext year would look the same as this year or as close as wersquove gotrdquo Scofi eld explained

He also presented the Iroquois School Board with a fallback plan ldquoWe have the fi rst budget vote in Mayrdquo Scofi eld said at a budget work session ldquoIf the voters do not believe that is an appropriate budget I would recommend to the board that we have a second voterdquo The $438 million proposal for that second vote would include cuts in athletics and clubs and would include a 173 percent increase in the tax levy

If both the May and June bud-gets failed Iroquois would move to a contingent budget under which there would be no tax levy increase A contingent budget would result in larger class sizes the further elimination of clubs and athletic programs reductions in technology and equipment purchases and an increase in the use of reserve funds The district would also consider reducing AP and elective offerings ldquoI donrsquot like any of those ideas but I think thatrsquos where wersquod need to go to keep our [core] programsrdquo Scofi eld said

Speaking at a budget work ses-sion parent Sharon Szeglowski

The election of a new pope no longer has the impact it once did Yet last weekrsquos decision by the papal conclave has made even nonreligious cynics take notice

The process to replace the retiring Pope Benedict XVI seemed to transpire much faster than when previous popes had died in office When health reasons forced the hand of the outgoing pontiff it may have been one of the best things to happen to the Catholic Church in years

Pope Benedict XVI repre-sented the aging church through no fault of his own His selection in 2005 was just as carefully considered as all others but he was an older frailer man as his tenure came to a close He was not the charismatic fi gure that would have added a great deal to his chances of acceptance by a broader group of people

So enter Pope Francis a man of many fi rsts He is the fi rst pope from the Americas the fi rst Hispanic pope and the fi rst Jesuit pope His age (76) may be an issue to some people but his humility has had an instantaneous effect Popes are generally not younger men but Pope Francis shows an affi nity for the poor and underprivileged that transcends time

It was his namesake St Fran-cis of Assisi who demonstrated a simpler lifestyle at a time when the church was in crisis His humanitarian acts and teachings forged a bond between the clergy and those who could benefi t the most from it It was a path as old as the golden rule ldquoDo unto others as you would have them do unto yourdquo

Iroquois Offers Budget Choiceworried that voters might see a ldquofalse choicerdquo between the fi rst budget proposal in May and a possible second vote The 224 proposal ldquois not luxuries itrsquos not everything cut in the past itrsquos bare bonesrdquo Szeglowski said ldquoAt what point do we say lsquoWe have cut enoughrsquordquo

Board member Charles Specht said that for the district a 224 per-cent tax levy increase would mean maintaining the status quo while 173 percent increase would mean ldquoa reduction in services whether it be sports or music or clubs or class sizerdquo That is the choice the board is giving the public ldquoAs a member of this board Irsquove sat through years of watching things being taken away from our kids and its really hard to dordquo he added

Scofi eld noted that some resi-dents have lobbied for the return of previously cut programs some-thing that canrsquot be accomplished under the 224 percent tax levy increase plan ldquoThe 224 does have a cost to it both to the students in terms of programs and to the taxpayer [in terms of taxes]hellip but this is what we think is the best for the students and the most cost effectiverdquo Scofi eld said

The last of Iroquoisrsquo budget work sessions was March 5 but the effort to share information with the public is continuing A budget hearing is scheduled for May 8 with the public vote on the 2013-2014 budget slated for May 21

SWEET NAMED TODEANrsquoS LIST

Alicia M Sweet of East Au-rora an exercise and sport sci-ence major at Coastal Carolina University in Conway SC was named to the Deanrsquos List for the fall 2012 semester

More fitting are the lines from the Prayer of St Francis ldquoWhere there is despair [let me sow] hope where there is dark-ness light and where there is sadness joyrdquo

Everyone walking the planet

needs some of these blessingsFrom his quickly crafted biog-

raphy we learn that the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Ar-

gentina has endured the type of serious medical issues that make him grateful for each new day He comes from a simple family legacy that will serve him well in reaching to people of all faiths or no religious conviction at all

While I realize not everyone is Catholic or even Christian this legacy offers a common ground where prejudices are out of place I was taught that serving others is an obligation of all educated people

According to the Vatican web-site Pope Francis has chosen the motto ldquoMiserando atque eligendordquo meaning lowly but chosen

ldquoThe motto is one the Pope had already chosen as Bishop It is taken from St Matthewrsquos

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

Over time it has become pain-fully obvious to me that Moose Couples Euchre shares many of the infamous traits of a soap opera We donrsquot have murders but we do have people that get ldquomurderedrdquo Just last night Jack and Jann put a pitchfork right through Jim and Diane ldquoHun-gryrdquo and Becky slaughtered ldquoSpark and Spunkyrdquo hit lsquoem

with a sledgehammer and gave lsquoem a kick in the head while they were down bloodied lsquoem up and stuffed lsquoem in the dumper

We donrsquot have trysts or romantic rendezvous but the bright-eyed bushytailed ldquoLepprdquo has had five different partners Kelly Lori Bobbie Lynn and Tracy Carolyn bamboozled Paul into babysitting and called in four different partners the ldquoPerry Hill Gangrdquo brought in

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Dear EditorHonesty and transparency are

generally believed to be good approaches Most of us would expect our Board of Education as fi nancial managers of our school tax dollar to be transpar-ent in their decision-making Based on my belief in transpar-ency three items have been on my mind Open Meetings Law executive session and the lack of a teachers contract

In an attempt to provide information on school board de-cision-making the Open Meet-ings Law was written ldquoSchool boards are public bodies the Open Meetings Law (Pub Off Law 103) requires school board meetings where school business will be discussed to be open to the publicrdquo (School Law) It does exempt items that are judicial or confi dential in nature The need for procurement or change in the needs of the district is usually discussed For example if a new position were needed or were to be extended it would be brought forward for public discussion before going to executive ses-sion for a fi nal conclusion Then it would be brought back and voted upon

This is necessary in my mind because there needs to be oppor-tunity for the public to choose

to respond Since there is only a short moment at the beginning of an agenda for public response it then excludes discussion on items that have been decided beforehand in executive ses-sion and then just placed on the agenda for a done deal vote This is not very open or transparent as far as I can see

Executive session is an inter-esting provision of the law It is necessary as I said before in cases of judicial or confi dential nature Unfortunately policy like statistics can be tweaked for meaning when there is a means to an end Although executive session provides an option for matters of appointment employment promotion demo-tion etc usually it is preceded publicly by a recommendation of need or value for a new position or change of position This ap-pears to have not occurred in the case of the superintendentrsquos raise or in the new full-time athletic directorrsquos position for $80000 At the March 6 meeting the ap-pointment of the athletic director just appeared on the agenda as a preordained deal in just the same way the superintendentrsquos raise did previously This troubles me and it should trouble you since itrsquos your tax dollar once again not being spent for student

instructionThat brings me to student in-

struction You teachers continue to work without a contract In light of all the money spent in the last couple of months on admin-istrators through raises position additions and extensions the old saw that the board just doesnrsquot have the fi nances is growing old The facts are that there has been a reduction of over 22 percent in high school classes we have gone from an eight-period day to a seven-period day and lost 76 teachers The BOE is proposing eliminating 12 more teachers at the High School and one at Parkdale Once again class sizes will be increased Please ask a teacher what that means for their classes Ask a student who struggles what itrsquos like to be lost in a sea of faces when you just donrsquot get it and you are too embarrassed to ask for help The options for students in need of help have been elimi-nated (Math Lab Reading Lab Reading Recovery Academic Support Center and a full team at Middle School) and the class sizes just keep increasing Itrsquos time for a reality checkhellipitrsquos your children your school and your community

READERSrsquo OPINIONContinued from Page 2

East Aurora School Board Lacks Transparency

Those onstage consisted of six players six well-polished professional players One beaut ifu l female Aurora Boneberg as Margot Wendice Jason Gonser as Max Holiday Marc Ruffi no as Tony Wendice Geoff Pictor as Captain Lesgate Michael Starzynski as Inspector Hubbard and Brad Felton as Thompson I must say the players were beautifully costumed in proper British natty neat trousers shirts ties jackets shoes I am assuming underwear as well So refreshing to be treated to that dressed-up ldquogentlemanrdquo look a nice contrast from that overly popular ldquoI donrsquot give a damn denimrdquo just too overly overly used today Denims were designed for the noble hardworking farmers to get them through tough hours in the barns and fi elds not here there and everywhere Ugh

The play itself is well written by Frederick Knott superbly directed by Catherine Burkhart It does require undivided attention to develop the plot to its amazing conclusion And how better to celebrate a successful stage

performance but with a ldquopotluckrdquo green dinner held in St Matthiasrsquo beautiful Arts and Crafts style parish hall All participants were attired in a bit of green We were blessed with not only delicious food and beverages but musicians You know when you sight John Whitney fl anked by Bob Sowyrda lugging musical instruments a good time is brewing We sang we clapped our hands we stomped our feet we laughed we sang Our Irish or non-Irish eyes were smiling and our hearts were happy as could be in every way

Donrsquot miss this play It is most assuredly a winner A glance at my clock tells me it is merely 930 pm and I am already cuddled up in my ldquopink velvet nighty nitesrdquo It never ceases to amaze me that as I am ever so swiftly approaching the 10th decade of a well blessed life I keep fi nding myself part of a fantastic community of wonderful loving people Along with my opportunity to fi ll my role as docent Friday night at The Roycroft Inn we were well invested in the type of celebration

of food music people that evoke such overwhelming memories that the tears of joy are impossible to hide Oh the sweet mysteries of life

The Garvey family along with John Whitney and numerous others led by that ldquoadorable imprdquo Dan Garvey put together a fabulous tribute to honor St Patrick as well as his talented brother Neal Garvey who contributed so much to Buffalorsquos famous Shakespeare in the Park productions

We all have so much to be thankful for summed up with this appropriate Irish blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do

May your purse always hold a coin or two

May the sun always shine on your window pane

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

May God fi ll your heart with gladness to cheer you

Dear EditorAbout 10 days ago my son-

in-law hit a pothole at the side of Girdle Road over Route 400 The pothole was nine to 12 inches deep and blew out both tires on the passenger side of his van He was very fortunate to avoid a serious accident I realized it was not Elmarsquos responsibility but

the next day because I was not sure who the right person to call was I called [Superintendent] Wayne Clark in the Elma Highway Department to ask about getting it fi xed Wayne thanked me for the call and said he would contact the correct highway department to correct the problem The following day

I went past the spot on Girdle Road and the pothole was fi lled in and I think it avoided the possibility of a serious accident Thanks to Wayne for his quick action in getting the problem resolved

The Iroquois School District is offering a choice to its vot-ers approve a 224 percent tax levy increase and retain existing programs or reject the budget and face cuts to school programs

Last year Iroquois board mem-bers and administrators planned two budget scenarios The fi rst which went to voters in May al-lowed for the continued operation of all three primary schools and included sports and extracurricu-lar clubs Had that proposal failed the board was ready to go back to voters in June with a budget that would close one of the primary schools and eliminate clubs and other programs May 2012 saw a high turnout at the polls ndash nearly 3000 people voted ndash and more than 60 percent of voters sup-ported the budget (The 2012-2013 budget proposal was under the tax cap and needed only a simple majority to pass)

This year the closing of an elementary school is not being considered but Superintendent Douglas Scofi eld said the district would need to make diffi cult cuts if the public doesnrsquot support the $439 million budget proposal That proposal will use a 224 percent increase in the tax levy

as well as $815579 from reserves to maintain all of the districtrsquos current programs ldquoNext year would look the same as this year or as close as wersquove gotrdquo Scofi eld explained

He also presented the Iroquois School Board with a fallback plan ldquoWe have the fi rst budget vote in Mayrdquo Scofi eld said at a budget work session ldquoIf the voters do not believe that is an appropriate budget I would recommend to the board that we have a second voterdquo The $438 million proposal for that second vote would include cuts in athletics and clubs and would include a 173 percent increase in the tax levy

If both the May and June bud-gets failed Iroquois would move to a contingent budget under which there would be no tax levy increase A contingent budget would result in larger class sizes the further elimination of clubs and athletic programs reductions in technology and equipment purchases and an increase in the use of reserve funds The district would also consider reducing AP and elective offerings ldquoI donrsquot like any of those ideas but I think thatrsquos where wersquod need to go to keep our [core] programsrdquo Scofi eld said

Speaking at a budget work ses-sion parent Sharon Szeglowski

The election of a new pope no longer has the impact it once did Yet last weekrsquos decision by the papal conclave has made even nonreligious cynics take notice

The process to replace the retiring Pope Benedict XVI seemed to transpire much faster than when previous popes had died in office When health reasons forced the hand of the outgoing pontiff it may have been one of the best things to happen to the Catholic Church in years

Pope Benedict XVI repre-sented the aging church through no fault of his own His selection in 2005 was just as carefully considered as all others but he was an older frailer man as his tenure came to a close He was not the charismatic fi gure that would have added a great deal to his chances of acceptance by a broader group of people

So enter Pope Francis a man of many fi rsts He is the fi rst pope from the Americas the fi rst Hispanic pope and the fi rst Jesuit pope His age (76) may be an issue to some people but his humility has had an instantaneous effect Popes are generally not younger men but Pope Francis shows an affi nity for the poor and underprivileged that transcends time

It was his namesake St Fran-cis of Assisi who demonstrated a simpler lifestyle at a time when the church was in crisis His humanitarian acts and teachings forged a bond between the clergy and those who could benefi t the most from it It was a path as old as the golden rule ldquoDo unto others as you would have them do unto yourdquo

Iroquois Offers Budget Choiceworried that voters might see a ldquofalse choicerdquo between the fi rst budget proposal in May and a possible second vote The 224 proposal ldquois not luxuries itrsquos not everything cut in the past itrsquos bare bonesrdquo Szeglowski said ldquoAt what point do we say lsquoWe have cut enoughrsquordquo

Board member Charles Specht said that for the district a 224 per-cent tax levy increase would mean maintaining the status quo while 173 percent increase would mean ldquoa reduction in services whether it be sports or music or clubs or class sizerdquo That is the choice the board is giving the public ldquoAs a member of this board Irsquove sat through years of watching things being taken away from our kids and its really hard to dordquo he added

Scofi eld noted that some resi-dents have lobbied for the return of previously cut programs some-thing that canrsquot be accomplished under the 224 percent tax levy increase plan ldquoThe 224 does have a cost to it both to the students in terms of programs and to the taxpayer [in terms of taxes]hellip but this is what we think is the best for the students and the most cost effectiverdquo Scofi eld said

The last of Iroquoisrsquo budget work sessions was March 5 but the effort to share information with the public is continuing A budget hearing is scheduled for May 8 with the public vote on the 2013-2014 budget slated for May 21

SWEET NAMED TODEANrsquoS LIST

Alicia M Sweet of East Au-rora an exercise and sport sci-ence major at Coastal Carolina University in Conway SC was named to the Deanrsquos List for the fall 2012 semester

More fitting are the lines from the Prayer of St Francis ldquoWhere there is despair [let me sow] hope where there is dark-ness light and where there is sadness joyrdquo

Everyone walking the planet

needs some of these blessingsFrom his quickly crafted biog-

raphy we learn that the former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Ar-

gentina has endured the type of serious medical issues that make him grateful for each new day He comes from a simple family legacy that will serve him well in reaching to people of all faiths or no religious conviction at all

While I realize not everyone is Catholic or even Christian this legacy offers a common ground where prejudices are out of place I was taught that serving others is an obligation of all educated people

According to the Vatican web-site Pope Francis has chosen the motto ldquoMiserando atque eligendordquo meaning lowly but chosen

ldquoThe motto is one the Pope had already chosen as Bishop It is taken from St Matthewrsquos

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Immaculate Conceptionrsquos basketball team coached by Troy Ford and Brian Kelly earned a 9-1 record this season Shown here are (bottom row) Aiden Kelly and Marco Alaimo (middle row) London Sexton Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe

Hunter Keem and Jacob Metro (top row) coach Brian Kelly Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and coach Troy Ford Jack McDonald is missing from the picture

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

Over time it has become pain-fully obvious to me that Moose Couples Euchre shares many of the infamous traits of a soap opera We donrsquot have murders but we do have people that get ldquomurderedrdquo Just last night Jack and Jann put a pitchfork right through Jim and Diane ldquoHun-gryrdquo and Becky slaughtered ldquoSpark and Spunkyrdquo hit lsquoem

with a sledgehammer and gave lsquoem a kick in the head while they were down bloodied lsquoem up and stuffed lsquoem in the dumper

We donrsquot have trysts or romantic rendezvous but the bright-eyed bushytailed ldquoLepprdquo has had five different partners Kelly Lori Bobbie Lynn and Tracy Carolyn bamboozled Paul into babysitting and called in four different partners the ldquoPerry Hill Gangrdquo brought in

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

variety of servicesrdquo he said ldquoBe-havioral health services family services counseling services domestic violence programs hellip they assist refugees and immi-grants therersquos youth education Itrsquos just absolutely amazing they way Catholic Charities uses the money to really touch peoplersquos lives any way they may need itrdquo

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

13939 Whitney Road For more information about times and availability visit wwwlifepathyogacentercom or email LifepathYogaCentergmailcom

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Catholic Charitiesrsquo annual Appeals Week is halfway over but the Diocese of Buffalo has already earned 68 percent of its goalmdashor roughly $73 millionmdash as of Mon March 18

ldquoWhile we have come a long way in a short period of time we cannot rest on our laurelsrdquo Bishop Richard Malone said at a press conference Monday ldquoWe must press on in the days and weeks ahead to achieve our lofty financial goal and more importantly to continue with our work in faith to serve those who turn to Catholic Charities for helprdquo

Local parishes are part of that effort having raised ap-proximately $389669 so far according to the most recent numbers released by Catholic Charities The six Catholic in-stitutions in the area including Immaculate Conception Church and Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora St Gabrielrsquos and Annunciation in Elma St Josephrsquos in Holland St Vincent de Paulrsquos in Springbrook and St Georgersquos in West Falls raised about $561539 in 2012 To match that they must raise another $171870 by the end of the cam-paign which concludes June 30 Appeals Week itself in which the majority of money is earned lasts until Sun March 24

Deacon Don Weigel Jr of Immaculate Conception called Catholic Charities ldquoa sign of hoperdquo for people struggling in life He said a favorite saying at Catholic Charities is that with the programs it funds ldquowe donrsquot just give people a handoutmdashwe give them a hand up as wellrdquo

ldquoPeople associate it with just food pantries and those sort of things but they have such a

Part of Immaculate Concep-tionrsquos totals comes from the ef-forts of its school which includes kindergarten to eighth-grade classes Eighth-grade teacher and Student Council modera-tor Joseph Duttweiler said the Student Council has held sev-eral events to raise money for Catholic Charities this year The group aimed to earn $900 which it accomplished before Appeals Week even began

The events included bake sales weekly change collec-tion days dress down days on which students paid $50 to not wear their uniforms and foul-shooting contests where students could pay $1 for five tries at making a basket from the foul line to win prizes

Duttweiler said the students are ldquovery generousrdquo in donating during the contests and recep-tive to the idea of helping the less fortunate

ldquoWe try to encourage them to appreciate all the things they have at their homes and tell them that some people donrsquot have as much as they haverdquo he said ldquoWe just want to help [those people]

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Meibohm Fine Arts located at 478 Main St in East Aurora is hosting an exhibition of artist Robert Flockrsquos work starting Fri March 22 The exhibit is titled ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo and will include collage drawings and paintings produced during the 1980s

Saturday excursions during the late 1970s and early lsquo80s took Flock to Niagara Falls and the surrounding gorge and escarpment near his home

These weekly outings with artist friends Roland Wise James Vullo and Robert Baumler were the inspirations that fostered the evolution of various series throughout a decade

From the ldquoen plein airrdquo gesture drawings at the Botanical Gardens of Niagara Falls and environs grew abst racted discoveries with form color and movement At the same time a widening range of mediums for collage and

painting was explored for the process of expressing these studies according to a recent press release ldquoAn Impassioned Decaderdquo draws on the free and wide ranging investigations of that period

The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday from 6 to 9 pm and continue through April 20 Gallery hours are 930 am to 530 pm For additional information visit wwwmeibohmfineartscom

Exhibition lsquoAn Impassioned Decadersquo Begins March 22

County Library Board ConsideredContinued from Page 1not support this That is why we are getting it out to the residentsrdquo Engberg said

Establishing a new district would also require voter approval and the county library members are looking at 2014 to hold a vote

Engberg and the other trustees talked about the importance of the Elma Public Library and any further cuts to the entire county library budget could mean closing library branches In 2005 a similar situation arose and 15 library branches closed or left the central system to manage a library building without the central support

During the last round of cuts Elma was listed as the next entity to cut loose The trustees

are worried further budget cuts from the county could mean Elma would be axed

ldquoWe donrsquot want Elma to be the place known where it lost a libraryrdquo Engberg said

The Town Board did not give support or oppose the idea of a new district It commended the current library board which is made of volunteers and said it did prefer to have a group of local people controlling how Elmarsquos library ran

The local branch budget is $347897 which comes from the central library Councilman Michael Nolan noted the entire town contributes $517887 to the entire library system and while that is more than it receives he said he understood the extra amount covered expenses for being involved in a lending-

library group Elma Library Board member

Jay Ricketts said the new district is not a ldquodouble taxrdquo on residents but a ldquoreplacement taxrdquo as the library bill would go to the new group and not the county

Several communities across the state have moved in this direction Engberg said and have met with success

Nolan said there could be some issues with whoever leads a new library board The trustees want the district to remove political arguments from library discussions but voters could install a group of fiscal conservatives that cut back on services rather than expand for example

ldquoPeople are very interested in their tax billsrdquo Nolan said

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

A teenager from Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in East Aurora won an award at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month Justin Bogard received the Manus Christi (Hands of Christ) Award from the diocesersquos De-partment of Youth and Young Adult Ministry The award is given to a senior in high school who possess outstanding moral character is active in youth and parish ministry and has at least two years of parish involvement

ldquoJustin is an outstanding faith witness to all who know him both youth and adultsrdquo said Denise York director

of Immaculate Conceptionrsquos youth ministry in a recent press release

York said in the release that Bogard serves the parish as an altar server religious education assistant teacher youth leader and retreat team member adding his faith is ldquoan integral part of who Justin isrdquo

ldquoIt is his charisma that allows him to lead and invite his peers to be in Christian community with one another When Justin speaks he has his peersrsquo undivided at-tentionrdquo she said in the release ldquoThey respect him because of his humility integrity and the fact that he does not just talk about

his faith he lives itrdquoAt Iroquois High School he

is president of Radio Club a member of the team that quali-fied for the National History Bowl in Washington DC and is on the lacrosse team He has also been selected for leadership programs

ldquoHe is an excellent student and is very dedicated to his family Justin is a well-rounded young man who puts God first in his life In every aspect of his life he is the hands of Christrdquo York said ldquoImmaculate Conception is extremely proud of Justin and grateful for his service to our parishrdquo

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

Over time it has become pain-fully obvious to me that Moose Couples Euchre shares many of the infamous traits of a soap opera We donrsquot have murders but we do have people that get ldquomurderedrdquo Just last night Jack and Jann put a pitchfork right through Jim and Diane ldquoHun-gryrdquo and Becky slaughtered ldquoSpark and Spunkyrdquo hit lsquoem

with a sledgehammer and gave lsquoem a kick in the head while they were down bloodied lsquoem up and stuffed lsquoem in the dumper

We donrsquot have trysts or romantic rendezvous but the bright-eyed bushytailed ldquoLepprdquo has had five different partners Kelly Lori Bobbie Lynn and Tracy Carolyn bamboozled Paul into babysitting and called in four different partners the ldquoPerry Hill Gangrdquo brought in

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Hunter Keem and Jacob Metro (top row) coach Brian Kelly Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and coach Troy Ford Jack McDonald is missing from the picture

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Hunter Keem and Jacob Metro (top row) coach Brian Kelly Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and coach Troy Ford Jack McDonald is missing from the picture

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

The Wales Town Board is growing increasingly impa-tient with businessman Russell Scherrer over his plans to turn the Auctions International Inc site on Route 20A into a massive complex that would include an indoor f lea market outdoor vehicle auction a small food ser-vice operation a used car sales business bathroom facilities with nine 1000-cubic-gallon water storage tanks an ldquoauction galleryrdquo and an administrative office complex

Councilman Michael Simon didnrsquot mince words at last weekrsquos board meeting ldquoItrsquos very lsquodisingenuousrsquo which is a just a word for a fancy lierdquo he said referring to Scherrerrsquos unfulfilled promises to comply

with the terms of several special use permits and amendments issued by the Town Board over the past six years

The board emphatically en-couraged Scherrer to speed up the pace and complete construc-tion on a special use permit it reluctantly granted him last year after years of wrangling between Scherrer and the town over allegations that he was dragging his feet on fulfilling the terms of the permit the third one he has received from the town since 2007

Over the years Scherrer has been charged with violating town code building ordinances facing a judge in Wales Justice Court on more than one occa-sion The local businessman has previously told the East Aurora Advertiser and Elma Review that

the charges never resulted in convictions of any kind

Scher rer now wants an amended special use permit to increase his site development plan to 68412 square feet well above the 50000-square-foot allowed for commercial struc-tures Scherrer has countered that the allowed square footage is designed for a single build-ing such as what a ldquobig boxrdquo retail store would require His proposed 68412-square-foot development plan includes sev-eral buildings and outbuildings and the square footage count includes overhangs cellars porches crawlspaces and a second story in its total

The case took an ominous turn late last year when the townrsquos Zoning Board of Appeals issued a variance agreeing to Scherrerrsquos plan to expand to 68412 square feet infuriating Town Board members who subsequently voted unanimously to the pos-sibility of taking the Zoning Board to State Supreme Court to overturn the Zoning Boardrsquos approval if members did not voluntarily reverse the deci-sion themselves (Under New York State municipal law local Zoning Boards have the power to issue their own findings and decisions without Town Board oversight)

The Town Board was forced to hire outside counsel Buffalo attorney Michael F Perley to represent the Zoning Board should the case find its way to State Supreme Court since Town Attorney Ronald P Ben-nett represents the Town Board and it would present a conflict of interest for him to also represent the Zoning Board Perley will be paid $180 per hour for his services to Wales

Venditti said at the March 12 meeting that the Town Board believes the Zoning Board de-cision goes against the townrsquos zoning code and the Regional Comprehensive Master Plan adopted by Elma and Wales and the Village of East Aurora back in 2002 with the aid of an Erie County grant

ldquoHe basically wants to go against the town coderdquo Wales Supervisor Rickey A Venditti said of Scherrer adding that the Town Board is only doing ldquowhat the people in Wales wantrdquo in keeping the town rural in nature

ldquoSadly to say itrsquos not going anywhere at allrdquo Venditti added of the Auctions International project ldquo[Scherrer] comes in here under the guise of a math error to add extra buildingsrdquo

Scherrer partially blamed the initial oversight of not including the crawlspaces overhangs etc on the townrsquos building inspector Walter Raichel But Councilman Donald Butcher has previously rebuked that charge claiming Scherrer has paid for the services of an experienced engineer Susan King who is Scherrerrsquos third architect since the projectrsquos inception Butcher said that King should have instructed Scherrer about the townrsquos building mandates

ldquoAll we want for him is to finish the jobrdquo an exasperated Venditti concluded

Immaculate Conception parishioners pose together during a dance at the Buffalo Diocesan Youth Convention last month In the front row are Megan Bourne Rosalie Martin Linsey McNeight and Jessica York The second row consists of Sean Scannell Emily Kern and

Jocelyn Ruhland while in the third row are Nick Wojtkiewicz Denise York Erika Talbot Lexi Mucci and John Roberts In the fourth row are Bobby Keller Frankie Nigro Fr Sean Paul Fleming Justin Bogard Pat Roberts and Josh Riemer

For the fifth year in a row East Aurorarsquos Immaculate Conception Parish sent a group of teenagers to the annual Diocesan Youth Convention at the Adamrsquos Mark Hotel in Buffalo The convention which took place at the end of February is the largest annual gathering of Catholic teenagers in the diocese

This yearrsquos theme ldquoThrough Temptation To Salvationrdquo offered resources and ideas to help young people resist the many temptations in the world today The message was reinforced on the opening night by the young people on the Diocesan Youth Board They

presented personal cardboard confessions on one side was writ ten a temptation they faced and then they flipped the cardboard over to show how God helped them resist it and move forward in faith

In addition to attending the event many of the young people f rom Immaculate Conception shared their talents throughout the weekend Justin Bogard served as a small group facilitator and read the Prayer of the Faithful at the closing Mass in French and English and Sean Scannell was an altar server for Saturdayrsquos Mass and an usher for the closing Mass Erika Talbot was a ribbon dancer

in the opening procession for the closing Mass while John Roberts Pat Roberts and Frankie Nigro served as ushers for the closing Mass

This was the first convention for Bishop Richard Malone who presided and preached at the closing Mass He challenged everyone to be intentional disciples and reminded attendees that faith and discipleship are rooted in love

ldquoIt was an exciting weekend for the young people and they are already looking forward to next yearrsquos conventionrdquo Denise York director of youth ministry at Immaculate Conception said in a press release

Teens Attend Diocesan Convention

Justin Bogard teaches a religious education class at Immaculate Conception in East

Aurora He was recently honored with the Buffalo Diocesersquos Manus Christi Award

SCHUBBE NAMEDTO DEANrsquoS LIST

Laura Schubbe has been named to the Deanrsquos List at the University at Buffalo for the fall 2012 semester earning a 3917 grade point average She has been accepted into the doctoral program for physical therapy and will begin those studies in the fall of 2013

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

Foundation Assists Iroquois Rifle Team

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

Over time it has become pain-fully obvious to me that Moose Couples Euchre shares many of the infamous traits of a soap opera We donrsquot have murders but we do have people that get ldquomurderedrdquo Just last night Jack and Jann put a pitchfork right through Jim and Diane ldquoHun-gryrdquo and Becky slaughtered ldquoSpark and Spunkyrdquo hit lsquoem

with a sledgehammer and gave lsquoem a kick in the head while they were down bloodied lsquoem up and stuffed lsquoem in the dumper

We donrsquot have trysts or romantic rendezvous but the bright-eyed bushytailed ldquoLepprdquo has had five different partners Kelly Lori Bobbie Lynn and Tracy Carolyn bamboozled Paul into babysitting and called in four different partners the ldquoPerry Hill Gangrdquo brought in

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

Pittsburgh Itinerary

The big buzz at the recent Outdoor Show at the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg was all about the outdoors but with particular emphasis on t he word i ng to be found in the New York State budget proposal that has included new crossbow m a n a ge m e n t language Older guys ladies and kids too those who canrsquot draw a regular compound hunting bow all seemed really excited

Senate Bill 2608C adds several changes to current law including new regulations requiring crossbow training to be included in the basic hunter education course required of all new hunters and wording that would allow the Department of Environmental Conservation to regulate statewide crossbow use for all game and all seasons including archery season (Exceptions to the new crossbow legislation would include Suffolk County Nassau County and New York City)

Since the idea of crossbow use during big game archery season has been on the front burner for so many aging hunters notify your local Senate representative as soon as possible to let them know your position on the bill and then notify your local Assembly representative to ask if they would support similar language that is included in Assembly Bill A3008C The budget negotiations are ongoing and your local state legislators need to hear your position as soon as possible

While not everyone would like to see crossbow use during archery season there seem to be a host of folks that overwhelmingly do want crossbow My better half shot one of the new style crossbows at National Hunting and Fishing Day at Elma Conservation Club where Frank Miskey Sr provided hands-on instruction and aiming training With a simple finger squeeze her first shot with a crossbow was a bulls eye at 30 yards Her second shot at a 3D archery deer target was perfect ldquoWhat do you think

about the new crossbows Fernrdquo Miskey asked She replied ldquoI think this means less wounded deer if it ever becomes legal

in New Yorkhellip it also means I might need to get my big game archery licenserdquo Lots of folks feel that way especially the ladies and youth

O n o n e website linked

to Facebook the details of the bill invited commentary and received 528 ldquolikesrdquo in a very short time Comments were about 40 to 1 in support of crossbows during archery

The public speaks Get on the phone email Twitter Facebook and of course the US Mail and notify your legislators of your interest either way today The vote could take place at any time this month To find your NYS Assembly representative go to httpassemblystatenyusmemsh=search To find your local NYS Senate representative go to httpwwwnysenategovsenators Each of these websites will allow your address entry and then notify you of your legislators One more click will allow you to either call them or send an email

Happy spring days are right around the corner Keep smilingErie County Trout Stocking

Hunter Keem and Jacob Metro (top row) coach Brian Kelly Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and coach Troy Ford Jack McDonald is missing from the picture

Iroquois School Board member Charles Specht looks on as Judge William Boller a trustee of the Elsie P amp Lucius B McCowan Private Foundation presents a check for $5000

to Iroquois rifle coach Robert Halter and former rifle coach Colleen McCoy in support of the schoolrsquos rifle team

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation last week presented a grant of $5000 to the Iroquois rifle team The foundation gave its first grant to the team in 2005 with this yearrsquos check bringing the grand total awarded to the rifle team to $52000

Acting Supreme Court Jus-tice M William Boller pre-sented the check at the March 13 meeting of the Iroquois School Board Boller is a trustee of the foundation and a 1973 Iroquois graduate He told the East Au-rora Advertiser and Elma Re-view that he had provided legal services to Elsie P McCowan before he took his current court position and that she had cre-ated the charitable foundation during her life After she died Boller continued to serve as a

trustee for the foundation along with two other attorneys

The Elsie P amp Lucius B Mc-Cowan Private Foundation has supported many cultural institu-tions in the region including the Buffalo Zoo the Just Buffalo Literacy Center the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Buf-falo Philharmonic Orchestra The charitable foundation was also a key sponsor of the Elma Historical Societyrsquos recreation of the historic Hurd and Briggs sawmill off of Bowen Road and donated to improvements at Iroquoisrsquo Latimer Field

Boller said he is glad to have a chance to support Iroquois athletics ldquoAlthough I wasnrsquot on the rifle team I played basket-ballrdquo he said ldquoI think a lot of Iroquois as an alumni and as a hunter and a sportsman I want

to encourage the rifle team to continuerdquo

Over the years the founda-tionrsquos donations have allowed for the rifle team to obtain replacement rifles ammuni-tion slings and other needed equipment ldquoI think itrsquos great that Iroquois still has a rifle teamhellip I want to do all I can to continue itrdquo Boller said

Iroquois is one of the rela-tively few districts in ECIC Section VI with a rifle team Coached by teacher Robert Hal-ter the Chiefs compete against athletes from Alden Clarence Lancaster Orchard Park and a combined Kenmore East and Kenmore West team Iroquois once had its own rifle range in the school basement but now uses the range at 10X Shooting Club in Lancaster

The boys third- and fourth-grade basketball team at Immaculate Conception School in East Aurora finished with a 9-1 record this season

The teamrsquos record is even more impressive because while the fourth-graders were returning players the third-graders had never played competitive

basketball before Coaches Troy Ford and Brian Kelly said they started simple with dribbling skills and incorporated standard plays as the season progressed

Fourth-graders Aiden Kelly Jack McDonald Jayden Ford Brian Schiltz Christopher Martucci and Marco Alaimo led the team The third-grade

players include Jack Accurso Jack Moffat David Howe Jacob Metro Hunter Keem and London Sexton

The top scorers all fourth-graders were Aiden Kelly who averaged eight points per game Jack McDonald who averaged six points per game and Jayden Ford who averaged five points

per game In the last game Jack Moffat and David Howe scored the first points by any third-graders Games were held on Saturdays from mid-November to Feb 16 The team played five home games and then traveled to Depew West Seneca and Orchard Park for the remaining five games

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

I often feel like I talk about brushing and flossing more than any other subject In all honesty it is the very best thing you can do to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your dental bills low

For young children ldquoplaquerdquo is a mysterious term that is diffi-cult to grasp The importance of developing a habit of twice-daily brushing and flossing can be an equally tricky concept

The following is a fun and easy experiment that demon-strates the effects of plaque on teeth It gives little ones a great visual illustration of what plaque is and how brushing makes it go away A hardboiled egg stands in for a toothmdashyou can do it

when you are coloring Easter eggs with the kids Itrsquos a great lesson in the days before the Easter Bunny brings a basket with sticky sweet treats

First gather the items you will need for this experiment

1 hard-boiled egg with the shell on

12 ounces of Coke Pepsi or other dark-colored cola

1 container large enough to hold the cola and egg

1 plastic bowl 1 toothbrush 1 drop of fluoride toothpasteThen explain to your child

that plaque is a sticky layer of germs that collects on his teeth Without regular brush-ing plaque can cause serious problems for teeth for example

holes in the teeth (cavities) or swollen gums (gingivitis) Tell him that you are going to do an experiment to see how plaque coats his teeth and why brush-ing twice a day is important for healthy teeth and gums

Finally conduct the experi-ment

Make the comparison be-tween the white color of the egg and the white color of your childrsquos teeth

Place the egg into the con-tainer and pour the cola over it so that it completely covers the egg

Let the egg sit in the cola for 24 hours

Remove the egg from the cola The egg will be stained and yellowish

Explain to your child that the colored layer that has appeared on top of the eggshell is just like the layer of plaque that occurs on his teeth

Place the egg in the plastic bowl and give your child the toothbrush with the drop of toothpaste on it Let him brush the ldquoplaquerdquo off of the egg The yellowish film will disappear exposing the white eggshell Explain that the same thing hap-pens when he brushes his teeth

It was a frigid wind and the temperature was below freez-ing The walkway was salted and clear though and it led to shelter from the harsh winter weather

The small pellet stove inside created instant relief from the outdoor chill It had warmed the entire structuremdasha pre-fabricated wood-frame yurt with a laminated wood floor and canvas-covered sides and ceiling which easily handled the winds and snow around the hills in Holland

Inside Maria Czechowski took people through several hatha yoga stances and move-ments making sure they held the stance while focusing on breathing techniques They gathered in a half-circle at the structurersquos edge standing on mats in their socks or barefoot

ldquo[Yoga] really quiets the mind and calms you Itrsquos so good physically for strengthening and flexibility But itrsquos really good for your mindrdquo she said after the lesson ldquoThe minute I start practicing yoga the tension just melts away from merdquo

After years practicing and training at other facilities Czechowski started teaching yoga classes early in January next to her home on Whitney Road She said she wanted to offer the health and fitness ben-efits from the routines to people who live too far away from other centers from the Holland and Strykersville regions and farther south

For now she is keeping it simple hosting two morning sessions each Saturday based on experience The first class for those who have some yoga knowledge or a good level of physical fitness starts at 845 am and runs to 10 am The second class is for beginners and runs from 1030 am to 1145 am

Czechowskirsquos interest in yoga first started when she began learning the stances through DVDs practicing at home when she had free time

It became more serious after

an accident six years ago that injured her neck lower back and jaw The injuries caused her daily pain and while physical therapy helped relieve some of that she felt her strength was gone and the pain was still a constant She sought out a gentle yoga practice through Healing Waters Center in East Aurora

Over time she felt her strength return and incorporated the routines into her daily life Czechowski said she feels a little off any day she doesnrsquot practice and that maintaining the flexibility keeps her move-ment fluid through the day More importantly she finds a sense of calm from the breathing techniques a way to ease any problems she may face

She also said it is something a person of any age can practice unlike other activities that put too much strain on the body over the years

A few years ago a teaching seminar began at Healing Wa-ters and she signed on to learn advanced movements and delve deeper into the 5000-year-old practice

ldquoI didnrsquot know I would teachmdashI just wanted to learn more about itrdquo she said

But after using family and friends as ldquoguinea pigsrdquo and feeling that they benefited from the teaching she thought it would be a waste not to pass her knowledge to others Occasionally she acted as a substitute teacher at Healing Waters (something she still does) but she then began con-sidering bringing the lessons farther south

She had her familyrsquos support but said she was still deciding on the matter when her husband John took it upon himself to clear an area for people to park when they arrived at the studio She thought ldquoOkay I guess Irsquom doing thisrdquo

Choosing to hold the lessons in a yurt a round canvas-covered structure held up by a lattice framework came from her time working out of the same type of building at Healing Waters A round room creates a spacious feeling and puts people at ease She has curtains over windows in the winter but the

domed ceiling is clear and lets in ample light Czechowski is looking forward to warmer weather when the windows can be opened to let in fresh air

With 25 years as a registered occupational therapist for a cen-ter in Springville Czechowski uses her knowledge of muscles allows her to guide people who have suffered injuries into safe positions that do not further strain a problem So far she has had a good response with atten-dance Between the two classes she has averaged 20 people and is considering adding more times depending on the needs and wants of the community

ldquoWhatever will be will berdquo she said joking that even if classes dwindle ldquoat least wersquoll have a yurtrdquo

The lessons are held at

13939 Whitney Road For more information about times and availability visit wwwlifepathyogacentercom or email LifepathYogaCentergmailcom

Everyonersquos heard the saying ldquoyou are what you eatrdquo Well itrsquos true for your eyes as well as for your heart b o n e s a n d teeth During Marchrsquos Save Your Vision Mont h t he American Op-tometric Asso-ciation (AOA) r e m i n d s A m e r i c a n s that caring for eyes includes looking carefully at what you eat

Six nutrientsmdashthe antioxi-dants lutein and zeaxanthin essential fatty acids vitamins C and E and the mineral zincmdashhave been identified as helping to protect eye sight and promote eye health Since the body doesnrsquot make these nutrients naturally itrsquos important that they are incor-porated into a daily diet and in some cases supplemented with eye vitamins

ldquoMore than two decades of extensive research have provided a better understanding of how diet and nutrition can not only keep our eyes healthy but reduce the risk of certain eye diseases as we agerdquo said Ronald L Hopping

AOA president ldquoFrom dry eye to age-related eye diseases re-search shows that nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining the health of our eyesrdquo

T he AOA recommends eating a diet with a variety of foods loaded with key nu-trients such as lutein and zeaxanthin for mainta in ing and improv-ing eye health

The AOArsquos American ldquoEye-Qrdquo survey showed that nearly half of all Americans (49 percent) still believe carrots are the best food for eye health While carrots do contain nutritional value by supplying beta-carotene which is essential for night vision spinach and other dark leafy greens are the healthiest foods for eyes because they naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin

The AOA recommends the following foods which contain key nutrients for eye health

Lutein and zeaxanthin To help reduce your risk of de-veloping age-related macular degeneration (AMD) eat one cup of colorful fruits and veg-etables such as broccoli spinach kale corn green beans peas oranges and tangerines four times a week

Essential fatty acids Studies suggest omega-3 fatty acids such as flax oil or fleshy fish like tuna salmon or herring whole grain foods lean meats and eggs may help protect against AMD and dry eye

Vitamin C Fruits and veg-etables including oranges grapefruit strawberries papaya green peppers and tomatoes can help minimize the risk of cataracts and AMD

Vitamin E Vegetable oils such as safflower or corn oil almonds pecans sweet pota-toes and sunflower seeds are powerful antioxidants that can slow the progression of AMD and cataract formation

Zinc A deficiency of zinc can result in poor night vision and lead to cataracts Therefore con-suming red meat poultry liver shellfish milk baked beans and whole grains on a daily basis is important

Advertiser in Ireland

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up

A former co-worker sent me a message today saying that he and his girlfriend would be in Pittsburgh for a weekend next month He wanted to meet up but he also asked for my sug-gestions of things to see and do while they are in town

He already knew of a few things like the science center the incline up Mount Washing-ton and getting a sandwich at the original Primanti Brothers restaurant All notable itiner-ary items but his list was still lacking

Now had my friend asked me for a list of things to see and do in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago when we were co-workers I would not have been of much assistance to him And that isnrsquot because I did not live in Pitts-burgh two years ago rather I just didnrsquot know that much about the city

There are other cities like Chicago New York or Boston where I could have rattled off several things right away

In fact I have the street ad-dress memorized for Lombardirsquos pizzeria in New York City I can picture exactly how to get to the Billy Goatrsquos Tavern underneath Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as a cool breakfast joint in Los Angeles that serves practi-cally a loaf of bread for an order of toast

Plus I know some practical moneysaving tips For instance

if you land in Midway Airport and want to get to downtown Chicago you can take the Or-ange Line in and save yourself about 20 bucks It is the same thing in NYC The Blue A train will take you quickly onto and up Manhattan for a fraction of

the cost of a cab When it came to Pittsburgh

back then I couldnrsquot have told you much except Primantirsquos and maybe the incline But that was about it Most of my experiences to the ldquoBurghrdquo were limited Actually I used to wonder if Pittsburgh could even sustain a tourist for a weekend

My appreciation for the city grew as I was doing research for a show some friends and I created and hope to someday pitch to a network It is called Guide to the Game (You can check out the show on wwwguidetothegamecom) The showrsquos concept is to visit a city for 48 hours before a sporting event We check out all the fun things to see and do around the area then get the full tailgate experience before heading into the game

We shot a pilot in Buffalo and

had such a good time doing it that we wanted to focus on an-other city We chose Pittsburgh because it had a great reputation and was within a short drive And it turned out to be a great choice

The more we researched and talked to people about Pitts-

burgh the more confident we felt We scheduled a four-day visit and we needed every hour we had

So going off of this previ-ous itinerary I suggested to my friend that he go and see a place called the Original Hot Dog Shop ndash or the O ndash in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh The O is a hot dog shop that is famous for its fries

The Orsquos fries are some of the best I have ever tasted but be-yond that they are quite possibly the largest orders I have ever seen And that wins you points in my book For a reference a ldquosmallrdquo order is roughly the same size as any other placersquos jumbo The Orsquos medium and large orders are preposterous

I also directed him to some pretty outstanding pizza places in the area Not meaning to make

it a food-themed weekend but there are some moments in life you must share with others

Both Beatorsquos and Fiorirsquos are pizza places that create that mo-ment like ldquoI remember just what I was doing the first time I had Fiorirsquosrdquo Really it is so greasy and covered in cheese that I canrsquot help but overeat every time I am there Both places will give you cold shredded mozzarella on the side that you put on top of your slice It is a great combination to have the blend of hot and cold cheese I am surprised that there arenrsquot more places that do that

Anyway not to get sidetracked by food because Pittsburgh has so many other things going for it There are some parks with some nice trails that overlook the city The botanical garden is extremely well done with constantly changing exhibits There are a variety of museums in town including some rare treats like the Toonseum

There are also a ton of great neighborhoods to walk around and shops to explore But I am not going to tell them about any of those because theyrsquoll be too busy over the weekend and will run out of time to meet up
