Greetings, It’s looking and feeling like we might be on our way to some beautiful spring weather. I know I’ve enjoyed the warmer temps and the sunshine we’ve had recently. Get your gear ready, the wall-eye will be biting before we know it! I attended the championship game of the season for our Salamanca Varsity […]
Greetings, In the last week, our temperatures have gone from zero degrees all the way up to fifty four degrees, and counting. This can’t be good for the snow snake tracks and I’m sure the animals must be getting confused, as well! I suppose we just have to make the best of it – since […]
Greetings, Well, we finally got a good snow! As usual, Cattaraugus Territory can have blizzard conditions; then, close to the town of Cattaraugus/Little Valley, it calms down. Even though it can be frigid outdoors, our part of the country is beautiful when it’s covered with snow. I hear the snow snakes are flying; and I […]
Greetings, Well, winter got off to a slow start, but showed up to keep us on our toes! Grateful to know I can still shovel, if I have to. One good thing – at least the mosquitoes weren’t bothering me. Please be safe out there driving in the snow and remember to keep your cars […]
Greetings, With the holidays behind us and a new year to jump into, I’m looking forward to seeing what 2022 brings for us! So far, we’ve had a pretty mild winter; but, I don’t think the remainder will be as mild. Stay warm and remember to check in on our elders in our communities to […]
Greetings, This is the time of year when everyone is on their best behavior, right? I know I am! I stay busy with my work as Treasurer and as Grandpa. My grandchildren and great-grandchildren span from babies to young adults. I certainly enjoy my time with my family during the holidays and hope everyone else […]
Greetings, I keep hearing we’re supposed to have a mild winter. Then, I’ll talk to someone else and they say we’re supposed to have a fierce winter this year. Maybe it will end up being in between, since we already had some snow – then it all melted! Whatever happens, we know we’ll be having […]
Greetings, This time of year gets so busy! I made time to stop by the H.E.R.O. Committee’s Turkey Dinner drive-thru giveaway on the 18th. I heard the dinners were delicious. They had turkey and all the fixings. Even though they were prepared and increased their number from last year, they still ran out within twenty-five […]
Greetings, I hope all of our kids in our communities were able to get out and enjoy some of the many Harvest and Halloween celebrations that were put on by various departments and organizations. I managed to stop by the H.E.R.O. Trunk or Treat event and hand out some treats. The weather that night was […]
