As a little girl growing up in Lancaster, Josephine Shamrock remembers her mother, Maria, always being a good neighbor. Always ready to help. To unselfi shly give of herself to others.

“I learned that from when I was a young kid. I learned that from my mother,” said Shamrock.

“If somebody was sick on my street my mother used to make something to eat and send it over. Sometimes she would send me to bring something over to them.”

Many years later Mrs. Shamrock is carrying on her mother’s tradition of helping others. Shamrock, who has lived in North Buffalo for over 50 years where she and her husband raised 10 kids, is doing her part to help her neighbors.

Shamrock collects bread and bagels from various area Tops Market’s and brings them to her neighbors at the North Buffalo Community Center on Sanders Rd. where she still serves on the board of directors.

“I’ve been on the board the longest,” Shamrock said, as she stopped to chat during a busy Friday lunch hour at the center.

“I’ve been on the board for

Shamrock gives back to North Buffalo

about 38 years. I’m one of the founders. Before we even got this building (on Sanders).”

Walking into the dining hall inside the North Buffalo Community Center on any given Friday’s when seniors meet for exercise class and lunch, you instantly take notice of a large table fi lled with breads, bagels, and various pastries courtesy of Shamrock’s efforts to collect them. Shamrock spends roughly six days a week not only making arrangements with market’s to pick up the donations of the breads and pastries. Along with the North Buffalo Community Center, Shamrock also delivers breads and pastries to Holy Spirit on the fi rst Sunday of every month for their senior gatherings. Now, fi nally delegating some of the pick up duties to an assistant, Shamrock spent the bulk of these past 30 years as a one-woman dynamo making every pick up and delivery on her own.

But that’s just the tip of Shamrock’s helping hand. Over the years the spry Shamrock, who coyly refuses to reveal her age, has spent countless hours driving friends in need of a ride anywhere they had to go. Whatever you need. From doctors appointments to polling places so that they could vote-they know they

can count on Shamrock for a ride.

“I’m just grateful that the good Lord gives me strength to do it and help others,” Shamrock said.

Gloria Nowicki, a long time friend and neighbor, said that Shamrock’s generosity is truly something special. The most amazing thing about this selfl ess woman is that Josephine Shamrock has no idea how many people she has touched with her warm, giving heart.

“She’s certainly has,” said Nowicki. “She’s been doing this for a long time.”

In a time when it seems like everybody either doesn’t want to make the time to help others or wants a bevy of thank yous for the simplest act of kindness Josephine Shamrock is a reminder of a simpler time. A time when a neighbor wasn’t just the person next-door, but an extension of your own family. A person you could count on to help. Not because they wanted a thank you. But because it was simply the right way to be.

“It’s just satisfying. I’m grateful,” said Shamrock. “I’m grateful that I’m able to do it. Many time people tell me why don’t you give it up (retire). But as along as I’m capable of doing it I just want to keep on doing it. No matter how I feel.”

Zandra uses her years of business knowledge to help other up-and-coming young entrepreneurs to learn the ins and outs of starting their own business. So – who better to reach out to in the Buffalo area to coordinate a “Day of the Girl” event than Buffalo’s entrepreneurial teen queen?

This year’s Buffalo Day of the Girl event, organized by Zandra Cunningham and her hard-working committee, brought together young people that are just starting their own businesses, as well as organizations that provide goods and services geared towards promoting young female well-being. Add to that a few vendors that provided some of the coolest hands-on craft classes, geared to stimulate creativity, and it made for a positively positive-charged, inspiring day of enrichment for area girls.

Canisius presents ArtsCanisius programsArtsCanisius presents the following

performances, which are free and open to the public, unless otherwise speci-fi ed:

The group was initially founded in 1915 as a four-man ensemble to augment Sunday evening services of the First Hungarian Baptist Church of Buffalo. The Buffalo Silver Band is one of a small but grow-ing number of true British Brass Bands in the U.S. Now in its 94th season, the Weston Silver Band traces its continu-ous history back to 1921 when it was created as the Weston Boys’ Band. Un-der the baton of music director Larry Shields, the band’s membership is made up of brass players from the Greater To-ronto and surrounding areas.

“Mostly Mozart,” a performance fea-

turing Camerata di Sant’ Antonio, under the direction of Christopher Weber, and the Canisius College Chorale, under the direction of Frank Scinta, begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 in the Montante Cultural Center.

Traffi c fl ow unaffected by Buffalo Avenue closure

Offi cials at the Seneca Niagara Resorts & Casinos assured travelers to Niagara Falls that exit 21, which leads to the Robert Moses Parkway on-ramp, remains open to traffi c. Department of Transportation (DOT) signs on the northbound 1-190 indicate that exit 21 to Buffalo Avenue is closed; however the exit can still

be taken to enter the Robert Moses Parkway.

The DOT announced trav-el restrictions on NY Route 384 (Buffalo Avenue) and Interstate 190 in the City of Niagara Falls to allow for the continuing construction of new bridges carrying In-terstate 190 over Buffalo Avenue.

Madison Wagstaff, 12, of Madison’s Fabulous Creations, brought a sampling of her custom-made beaded jewelry in colors a rainbow would be jealous of. Young Ija Peters, a junior at Nardin Academy, displayed her “Born In Apparal”, a clothing line centered around showing off where you come from. Her “716” and “1998” (yes, her birth year), are two of her favorite lines. Other jewelers included Nyah’s Corner and Sisterstones Gemwear, each with their own unique fl air.

Held at DIG Buffalo, on Ellicott Street, vendors from the Foundry were on hand to teach the girls to create 3D wearable art; “Girls Develop It” gave the girls a sampling of web design basics; healthy and stylish hair classes, and makeup technique activities were held. The entire day was designed to inspire, enrich, and embrace girl

power. Stephanie Valentine, of “Be Candy Coated” was on hand to talk about her young female enrichment programs. Information on her empowerment workshop series can be found at www.becandycoated.com.

The Girl Scouts of WNY were also on hand promoting that they are still accepting young scouts and volunteers for the new scouting season. You can get more information at www.gswny.org.

Buffalo Arts Studio announces twopartnership presentations for October

Buffalo Arts Studio, located at 2495 Main St., Suite 500, Buffalo, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Emerging Leaders in the Arts (ELAB) to present Cre-ative Conversation 2014, Living Legacy: an exploration of the lives of artists and the work they leave behind. Creative Conver-sation 2014 will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 in the Buffalo Arts Studio Community Space and will include group and individual artwork, installation, perfor-mance, video and curator discussion. The resulting artworks will remain on display at Buffalo Arts Studio through Nov. 7.

Creative Conversation is an annual event hosted by various ELAB chapters across the country and is the one unifying event disparate chapters all share, featuring a discussion-based evening of art and com-munity in support of National Arts & Hu-manities Month in October.

Sarah Brayer will present Painting in Japanese Paper: Contemporary Expression in an Ancient Tradition at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27 in the community room at Buffalo Arts Studio. Buffalo Arts Studio, the Japan Culture Center of WNY, Inc., the Dr. Mar-garet E. Bacon Visiting Artists Fund, and Buffalo Society of Artists present this art-ist talk by Brayer, an American artist and native of Rochester based in Kyoto, Ja-pan. She is internationally known for her large-scale poured washi paperworks and aquatint prints. In 2013 Japan’s Ministry of Culture awarded Brayer its Bunkacho Cho-kan Hyosho (“Commissioner’s Award”) for promotion of Japanese culture abroad through her creations in Echizen washi

Currently, her work is on display at the Castellani Art Museum in an exhibition en-titled “Between Two Worlds,” consisting of a daylight and a nighttime gallery devoted to her luminescent work. Brayer’s art is in the collections of the British Museum, the Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian and the American Embassy, Tokyo. She was hon-ored in Japan by being the fi rst artist ever to exhibit her washi paperworks at Byodoin Temple, a World Heritage site dating from the Heian period, as part of Kyoto’s 1,200-year celebration in 1992. In 2012, Brayer was invited to speak about her unique work in Japanese paper and light at TED in To-kyo.

“Sarah Brayer: Painting in Japanese Pa-per: Contemporary Expression in an An-cient Tradition” is presented in cooperation with the Buffalo State School of Arts and Humanities; the departments of art edu-cation, design and fi ne arts; the offi ce of international and exchange programs; the offi ce of international student affairs; the Castellani Art Museum and the Buffalo Arts Studio.

Buffalo Arts Studio (BAS) is a not-for-profi t arts organization whose mission is to provide affordable studio space and regular public exposure for regional, national and international artists through exhibitions; and to enrich the community with art class-es, mural programs and public art. Exhibi-tions, public art projects and classes help the studio serve as a cultural center.

A twin thing: Jones sisters bring sophomore spirit, competitiveness to Nichols soccer

By Dave RicciSPORTS REPORTER

Kendra and Leeanne Jones can’t help but laugh when they are asked the standard question all twins get: “Which of you is older?”

“I don’t know, our par-ents won’t tell us,” said Kendra Jones.

“I think it’s sort of a good thing,” Leeanne Jones added with a laugh. “They think we’re gonna fight about it.”

“We’ve always wanted to know,” said Kendra, who added that their parents tried telling them once at their 10th birthday party, but the Jones sisters were too wrapped up in the party to remember what the an-swer was.

Sophomores on the Nich-ols School varsity soccer team, the Jones sisters think that their competitive spirit is definitely rooted in the fact that their parents have not divulged who is the “older” sibling.

“They think we’ll fight

about it but I don’t think we will,” said Kendra Jones. “That’s what they say the reason is. I don’t think that’s true, though.”

The Jones twins, who live in North Buffalo, have gone through a lot growing up together. But their paths to varsity were a bit differ-ent. Kendra was called up from JV last season, while Leeanne just made varsity this year.

“It probably did motivate me to work harder,” said Leeanne. “It definitely did.”

Seeing Kendra get the call first not only pushed Leeanne to work even harder, it made both girls stronger because it took them out of their comfort zone of always being to-gether and to go out on their own a bit.

Lady Vikings coach Larry Desautels said the both Jones sisters bring a strong sense of compete to the field.

“Kendra has been playing the middle of the field for us all season. Every single game,” Desautels said. “Where as Leeanne gets put at defense, we’ve put her at midfield with her sister. We’ve put her at stopper. We’ve put her at defense on the outside, where ever we need her. So I think it’s more difficult for Leeanne because she’s sure where’s she’s gonna be playing. Yet she does whatever it takes for the team.”

Kendra Jones agreed and said the fact that Leeanne can be utilized in so many different positions at a moment’s notice not only speaks to her talent, but to

her character for taking on that utility player role that some people would not want to take on.

“I think she’s gotten used to and adapted to it and she’s really prepared to play everywhere,” Kendra said.

Leeanne Jones said hav-ing the multi-use role is a challenge at times, but she is grateful for the playing time and happy to do her part.

“Yeah, it’s difficult, but at the same time I think it sort of helps because our

coach is teaching us to be a ‘soccer player,’” said Leeanne Jones. “Not to (just) be a forward.”

Though the Jones sis-ters have been teammates before with their Empire travel team for three years, sharing this experience on varsity is even more special because it’s connected to their journey through high school.

“I like it,” said Leanne. “It’s fun. We play in the midfield together some-times.”

But the soccer field is

just one aspect of the Jones siblings teaming together. Leeanne and Kendra join forces with their older brother, Sam, who also plays soccer for Nichols, as a three-person unit that does competitive Lightning Sailboat racing in Canada during the summer.

“It’s a family thing,” said Kendra as Leeanne added, “That’s how we got into it.”

As for the eternal ques-tion of who is older? Well, maybe a future birthday party will reveal the an-swer.

Zhou, Nebbia lead young Lady Vikings Nardin girls soccercaptures regular

season crown

By Dave RicciSPORTS REPORTER

The rebuilding continues.As the Nichols School girls

cross country teams moves into what coach Roddy Pot-ter deemed year two of the three-year rebuilding process, team spirit is as high as ever, as the program tries to reclaim its spot among the best of the Monsignor Martin Athletic Association.

“It’s just kind of the nature of the beast in small school cross country,” said Potter. “It only takes a few chairs to change and you go from being in the top three to the bottom three. They have a lot of spirit.

They’ve got great cohesion as a unit and lot of motivation.”

Senior co-captains Jessica Zhou and Erin Nebbia lead the roster of 12 that returns a total of seven girls from last season.

In her fourth season on the team, Zhou has experienced the ups and downs of the last few years. While Zhou, who was team co-MVP her sophomore year, would love to improve her personal-best and help others do the same, she knows that priority one is about giving back. She wants to help create a family feeling that inspires girls to stay with the team.

“Even in times when we’re stretching, we joke around with the girls. We do fun runs. We do a run to Sweetness 7 (coffee shop), we get food,” said Zhou. “We do spaghetti dinners before races. We have a lot of team bonding outside of the actual running.”

Frank adds new dimensions to already-strong game

By Dave RicciSPORTS REPORTER

Some times, the toughest thing in life is to take stock of ourselves, weigh our pluses and minuses, and admit that we need to work harder at correcting our shortcomings.

Madison Frank has done just that.

Frank, a North Buffalo resident, through the fi rst three season of her varsity career on the Buffalo Seminary

fi eld hockey team, made her name as one of the areas most dangerous scoring threats. But this year, Frank realized just scoring isn’t enough.

“Freshman year I played cen-ter/forward and I was all about shooting,” said Frank. “I’ve gotten a lot more confi dence. I know how to pass, how to fake (opponents) on the fi eld. More of a team player, I would say.”

Frank added that having that additional confi dence, coupled with a greater understanding of the game, has enabled her to become a better player.

While exceptional speed has always been an integral part of Frank’s game, Red-Tailed Hawks coach Helen Marlette said with time and experience,

Frank has learned how to be even more cunning and decep-tive with her wheels.

“She’ll give you a sprint. She uses her speed in different ways. She’ll rope you or dope you, slow down then she’s long by you,” Marlette said with a chuckle. “You can see it coming, when you know it’s coming it’s (too late).”

With a laugh, Frank said being smarter about using her speed was born out of simply not wanting to burn herself out too quickly.

“I know how to use and when to use my speed,” Frank said. “You can’t just burn yourself out running up and down the fi eld. You’ve got to use it wisely.”

But Frank has learned far more than how to better utilize her speed. Coming into the season as a veteran, Frank, a senior, fully expected to be named one of the captains. When that did not happen, she was stunned.

She could have taken two different routes. Frank could have become bitter, selfi sh and created an unhealthy at-mosphere, but instead, Frank did the mature thing. She took a look in the mirror and realized she needed to expand her game beyond just scoring. She had to be a more well-rounded player and an even better teammate. The kind of girl her mates could count on in any situation.

“It was defi nitely hard at

fi rst,” Frank confessed. “But I love the game. I love my team, so I need to step up and lead anyway. I defi nitely lead on and off the fi eld, I think.”

Marlette said she couldn’t be any more proud of Frank and how she responded to the shock and disappointment of not being elected captain.

“She responded beautifully by becoming a better leader,” said Marlette. “A better team-mate.”

Still leading the Hawks in goals, Frank is also among the team leaders in assists.

“I think it’s less about me scoring and more about the game as a whole,” Frank explained.

“Really, she’s a well-rounded

player,” added Marlette. “She’s just added another dimension to her game and she’s a great teammate.”

When Frank closes the books on her days as a high school student-athlete, she will take with her memories of good times with teammates mixed in with the wins and losses. Most importantly, She will take the life lesson of learning how to not only deal with set backs, but how to come away even stronger.

“I expected that I would be (named) a team captain, but you can’t always get what you expected. Even if sometimes you think you’ve worked for it,” she said. “Keep working anyway.”

JEFFREY T. BARNES

action due to a stress fracture, but Potter said that she and Zhou are tremendously posi-tive infl uences on a team that includes nine underclassmen.

“So much of it depends on the quality of the captains and I think when they really take it on themselves to nurture and to build up the younger girls and to keep the mood positive,” said Potter. “One of the great things having a team with some younger girls on it is they don’t remember what it was like when we were a really strong team and they’re just enjoying doing it. They’re having some really good personal growth, and when the captains can be supportive of that it (creates) a positive atmosphere and you do get positive results.”

Sophomore Hailey Miller and freshman Ashley Peresie are two of the youngsters in the program who are going to fi gure prominently in the Lady Vikings’ rebuilding process.

Billed as the Vikings No.1 runner, Miller is ranked in the top fi ve in Monsignor Martin Athletic Association and fi n-ished in the top 20 in small school’s out of a fi eld of 300 runners at the 50th anniversary of the McQuaid Invitational Sept. 27 in Rochester.

As a team, Nichols placed 20th out of 50 small school.

In league action, Nichols has defeated Buffalo Seminary, but lost to Immaculata. Pot-ter said the injury prevention training spearheaded by his assistant coach, Amanda Simmons, and the efforts of school athletic trainer Bambi Horton have been invaluable in keeping kids healthy and ready to run.

Lilly Shuman, Ava Swia-towy, Caroline Magavern, Julia McDonald, Amanda Melendez, Katherine Nebbia, Kaitlyn Dolan, and Natalie Jusko complete the 2014 Lady Vikings cross country team.

Buff State aims to end longtime playoff drought

Mike Doherty (Kenmore East), a wide receiver, is third in Empire 8 in receiving yards per game (93.7) and fourth in touchdown receptions (fi ve).

The Buffalo State Col-lege football team has not qualified for the NCAA playoffs since two months before the Buf-falo Bills last made it to the NFL playoffs.

Six weeks into this sea-son, the Bengals are clos-er to ending their postsea-son drought.

Buffalo State is 5-1 for the first time since the 1999 season, when it last qualified for the NCAA Division III championship tourna-ment. The Bengals also received votes in this week’s D3Football.com and American Football Coaches Association Top 25 polls, effectively ranking 29th and 33rd, respectively.

The Bengals entered their bye week atop the Empire 8 standings for the first time since join-ing the conference in 2012. If they run the table over the last four weeks of the regular sea-son, getting to 9-1 for just the second time in school history, the Bengals will automatically qualify for the 32-team NCAA play-offs.

Following last week’s win at nationally-ranked Ithaca, Buffalo State has also made a strong case for a possible at-large NCAA berth, should it lose one of the final four

games. Empire 8 mem-ber St. John Fisher has earned an at-large NCAA berth with two regular season losses in two of the past three seasons.

Ithaca was undefeated and ranked No. 13 in the country before los-ing to Buffalo State. The Bombers won the Em-pire 8 championship as well as an NCAA playoff game last season. Buffa-lo State also owns a win over Salisbury, which has lost just four conference games since joining the Empire 8 in 2011.

“The Empire 8 is rec-ognized nationally as a good conference, so you could have a couple loss-es and still get a chance to play in the playoffs,” Buffalo State coach Jerry Boyes said.

Boyes, who led the Bengals to the NCAA tournament seven times in eight seasons before moving up to the ath-letic director position, envisioned this return to glory when he returned to coaching in 2009.

“Quite frankly,” Boyes said, “we are where we expected to be last sea-son.”

The Bengals finished 5-5 (3-4 in Empire 8) a year ago. In 2012, Buf-falo State ended No. 1 Wisconsin-Whitewater’s 46-game winning streak and won its final four conference games to fin-ish 6-4 (4-3).

“The talent level has

certainly been here,” Boyes said. “The credit goes to the players and the staff that does the re-cruiting and the coaching. But really it comes down to the execution. We are thankful for the start.”

The Bengals have been the second-highest scor-ing team in the Empire 8 at 38.8 points per game, and have the third-ranked offense at 428.5 yards per

game.Senior running back

Rich Pete leads the con-ference in rushing at 124.2 yards per game. Pete rushed for more than 100 yards in each of the first five games and is on pace to break Perez Dinkins’ single-season record of 1,201 rushing yards set in 1996.

Wide receiver Mike Doherty (Kenmore East)

is third in the conference in receiving yards per game (93.7) and fourth in touchdown receptions (five). Ryan Carney (Ole-an) is fifth in the confer-ence in receiving yards per game (73.7) and has four touchdowns.

Kyle Hoppy (Orchard Park) has started the first six games at quarterback. Hoppy joined the Ben-gals program last season

after spending four years in the Baltimore Orioles’ minor league system. But Hoppy was pulled mid-way through the Ithaca game in favor of Dan Serignese, who threw for 155 yards, three touch-downs and no intercep-tions.

“At this moment, Kyle is still our No. 1 quarter-back,” Boyes said. “But when you have a quarter-back that can come in and lead like Dan did, it gives the players confidence if we are ever in a posi-tion where we need that again.”

The defense carried Buffalo State in the win over Ithaca, forcing six turnovers and scoring two touchdowns.

Mitch Thomas (Sweet Home) had 11 tackles, two interceptions, one in the end zone when the Bombers were primed to build on their early 10-point lead, and one in the fourth quarter that he returned 26 yards for the game-sealing touchdown. Thomas was named Em-pire 8 defensive player of the week.

Buffalo State hosts Utica on Oct. 25 and plays its final regular season home game Nov. 8 against Hartwick.

But the Bengals biggest test looms Nov. 1 at 16th-ranked St. John Fisher, which entered this week at 4-1 with its only loss coming to Salisbury in overtime.
