Restoring the Past; Knox Park Plans for Repairs in 2024

January 22, 2024 15:00 - 2 minutes - 986 KB

It was always on the list of things to do, but repairing the stone wall at Knox Farm State Park along Seneca Street was difficult to justify.  “Finding funding for anything is difficult and it’s easier to find funding for something that can become a revenue source,” Friends of Knox Farm State Park Executive Director Kathleen York said. “The mansion, guest house, stables…we can invest money into those and then use them as venues to raise money.” The rock wall is a different story because it w...

Holiday Weekend Weather and Carolcade

December 22, 2023 19:00 - 2 minutes - 952 KB

Weather should not be a factor this holiday weekend with above normal temperatures and only scattered showers. So local travel should not be a problem.

East Aurora's famous Carolcade is Saturday night on Main Street between Church Street and Olean Street at 7 p.m. Traffic will be re-routed in the area of the event. Anyone parking on Main Street in the 700...

South Wales Fire Company: A Family of Firefighters

December 15, 2023 17:00 - 7 minutes - 2.51 MB

The familiar numbers are posted everywhere you go. “Emergency, Dial 911.” And you expect, or know from experience, or take for granted that when you need to dial 911, the call will be answered and help will be on its way shortly. In the areas that our newspapers serve, many responding to fires, accidents or medical emergencies will be unpaid, but thoroughly professional. These first responders are volunteers from companies such as the South Wales Fire Company. Last week, I had the privilege ...

Wales Hollow is a Destination Again

October 24, 2023 13:00 - 6 minutes - 2.12 MB

Thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of three of its residents—Kerry Planck, Travis Sprague and Paul Borden—Wales Hollow is making a comeback.  Not that Wales Hollow ever went anywhere, of course. For almost two centuries, it’s been on a low-lying piece of paradise in the valley created by Buffalo Creek just off modern-day Route 78, not far from the Wyoming County line. Once upon a time, beginning in the 1820s or ‘30s, Wales Hollow held its own; it was practically self-contained. In the mids...

Saved from the Hellbox: Are Smartphones Making Us Dumb?

October 06, 2023 18:00 - 2 minutes - 1.03 MB

Hi, I'm Grant Hamilton, author of Saved from the Hellbox column. In the area of full disclosure, the words are mine, but the voice you hear is computer generated. In a brief conversation with our East Aurora editor last week, I lamented the fact that much of the traffic to our newspaper websites comes from readers on smartphones. Modern “small screen” news consumption doesn't do justice to great photos and it probably means longer articles are less likely to be read from beginning to end, I ...

Saved From The Hellbox

May 24, 2023 19:00 - 3 minutes - 1.26 MB

An Introduction & Thoughts from Publisher Grant Hamilton First, a little explanation. The title of this column is derived from a period in printing history when news columns were set in type by casting hot metal (mostly led) into lines of type. After the issue was printed most of the lines of type were tossed in a box to be remelted to provide the led material for casting the type for the next edition. That box became known as the “hellbox” and a helper in the shop who was responsible for th...

The impulse to help in some way has hit many of us, although none have felt it more than local Kiwanians Doug Marky, Chuck Snyder and Sean Cunningham. All three wanted to help and not long ago, they hit upon a way—the Aurora Starfish Fund’s Ukraine Fundrai...
