While much has been said about the impact of both, and the history books will certainly provide great detail about the devastating blizzard, I am proud of the collaboration that took place throughout the county. We coordinated a response that eventually grew to include thousands of workers and hundreds of pieces of equipment of all types that assisted hard-hit communities. https://www.speakupwny.com/stormblizzard2023.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5596.shtml Thu, 01 Dec 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5596.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/VictoriaPerez_.shtml Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () https://www.speakupwny.com/VictoriaPerez_.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5594.shtml Sun, 20 Nov 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5594.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5593.shtml Sat, 12 Nov 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5593.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5592.shtml Fri, 11 Nov 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5592.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/assistancehighheating.shtml Thu, 10 Nov 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () The Erie County Department of Senior Services is working hard on behalf of senior citizens throughout Erie County by providing advice and guidance to address higher-than-expected heating bills in the upcoming cold months. Assistance is available to help defray those costs for qualified persons. In addition, there are also opportunities for homeowners on a fixed income to take advantage of an available duct cleaning and maintenance benefit. Ensuring that your home heating equipment is safe and working appropriately by having it inspected and professionally cleaned is something I encourage seniors to see if they qualify to take advantage of energy savings this winter. https://www.speakupwny.com/assistancehighheating.shtml https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5590.shtml Tue, 08 Nov 2022 00:00:00 EST editor@speakupwny.com () For most of us, the nightmare is running across a perfectly normal-appearing person who turns out to be a psychotic. It happens. https://www.speakupwny.com/article_5590.shtml
