Elma Supervisor Will Not Seek Reelection
One way or another, someone new will be sitting in the supervisor’s chair in the Town of Elma next January. Supervisor Dennis Powers has said that he will not seek reelection to his post.

Editorial: Highway Aid Full of Potholes
Governor Andrew Cuomo blew into Western New York again recently in a weird press event to talk about high winds that might impact local residents. He seems to be inclined to stand in front of highway equipment for photo opps these days and tout the crews’ dedication in the face of storms. In the meantime many representatives of town highway […]
Editorial: Share North Grove Repair Cost
Town of Aurora and Village of East Aurora officials are scheduled to meet again to resolve the question of financial responsibility for the replacement of a bridge over Tannery Brook on North Grove Street.

Chief is one of those words that can be used both descriptively and as the object of that description, so when it comes to debating the chief Iroquois Chief in its wrestling program’s history, Cory Day would certainly be a part of that conversation. Any discussion of who really is the all-time Iroquois wrestling chief Chief would probably begin with […]

Column: Power to Know the Outdoors
Look at it all. There are satellite images for where we fish, hunt, hike and camp. Scented plastic worms that are sold with juiced-in flavors to help catch fish faster. Sabot-style shotgun slugs that turn a 50 caliber 12 gauge shotgun into a 44 caliber precision rifle for long range deer hunting accuracy. Electric trolling motors that deploy themselves with […]
