I went last night for my training session.
( yes, they pay you to go and usually feed you too but due to strike, no food this year---but we do get fed before every game we work)
( Started 2010 season but you have to go to mandatory training every year as things change often).
If someone puts my name down on their application( they don't have to, only an extra perk) and they are hired, we both get entered into some incentive drawings for some real neat prizes.:cool:
They have some signed footballs by some of the players during the 1990's Superbowl(s) drive/push.
There are only nine home games---must be 18, BUT younger teens with working papers can start out working with the fans in the field house they told us last night.
Note: Stadium is now totally " Smoke Free "----it is going to be an interesting/fun season!
I hope lots of Lackawanna folks/kids---good for their resume'.
FYI: NO Traffic on Abbott this year either---they are trying to change the traffic pattern to make exit?entrance easier!
City seeks to head off closing of its post office

Updated: July 29, 2011, 6:30 AM
Lackawanna City Council President Chuck Jaworski, concerned that the city’s lone post office will be shut down because it was included on a list being considered by the U. S. Postal Service, said Thursday that he will ask Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, to challenge any attempt to close the Ridge Road office.
The Lackawanna station was one of at least eight in Western New York that the financially troubled Postal Service is considering closing. The station also was included on a 2009 list of sites for possible closing.
“It will leave the residents of the city of Lackawanna with no post office available to them,” said Jaworski.

Mayor to seek DEC’s OK to thin out deer

Even a former steel town can provide plenty of pasture for hungry deer.
Lackawanna is the latest municipality to be overrun by deer — so much so that Mayor Norman L. Polanski plans to seek approval from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to thin out the city’s deer population.
“We’ve had numerous deer hit on Martin Road. We’ve had complaints about shrubs being eaten,” Polanski said. “It’s gotten out of hand. They’ve become a nuisance. It’s a serious problem.”
So far, the mayor has received no opposition from the City Council, which on Monday unanimously approved a resolution supporting his overture to the DEC.
“Everybody’s got a ton of ’em,” said City Council President Chuck Jaworski.
Second Ward Councilman Geoffrey Szymanski noted that he recently saw a couple of deer prancing together like young lovers in the middle of the street.
“Did they have a permit?” 4th Ward Councilman Joseph Schiavi asked.
“They didn’t have a permit to eat my tomato plants, I’ll tell you that,” Szymanski responded.
DEC officers recently did a flyover of Lackawanna and determined the bulk of the deer are in the southwest corner of the city, around Abbott and Martin roads, Polanski said.
He said the city will examine how bait-and- shoot programs have worked in Amherst and Cheektowaga.
In an effort to reduce the number of deer-related car accidents in Amherst, police snipers killed about 1,450 deer between 2005 and 2010. The meat was given to the Western New York Food Bank.
In other action, the Council adopted a resolution opposing the planned closing of the city’s lone post office, on Ridge Road.
Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, has vowed to fight the closure, sending a letter to the U. S. Postmaster General stating that the Lackawanna site “serves a unique population highly dependent on the facility’s close proximity to surrounding neighborhoods.”
“There are a number of characteristics that justify the need for a post office directly in the city, and we plan to fight for its continued existence based on those facts,” Higgins said.

Comment:
The deer are a problem in the city and right behind them are coyotes . I am seeing more and more in city in fields right along the border with Blasedell. This may become an issue in the future although thinning the deer population may solve both problems.

We know about the deer.......shouldn't folks be told to watch their dogs and kids? I heard many years ago that the coyotes were on the Bethlehem Property but they must be coming our way looking for food. I am calling the DEC.:eek:

LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. (WIVB) - State wildlife experts are now confirming the first case of a mountain lion in New York in years.
DNA has linked a cougar that was hit and killed by a car this past June in Connecticut to droppings found last year in Lake George. It's believed the mountain lion was born in South Dakota and traveled more than a-thousand miles.
