Depew resident Jon Wascak has been spreading his Christmas cheer throughout WNY on his days off as a nurse. Tonight he is partnering with the local Tim Hortons on Transit and Olmstead and Trusted Nurse Staffing to bring coffee, donuts, and the holiday spirit to St. Joe’s Hospital tonight! Thank you!
We've all heard of Christmas in July, but even that's coming a bit early this year.
We still have a few seedlings left. If you would like one, please email [email protected].
Today is National Arbor Day and since we had to postpone our Arbor Day celebration to the Fall, we are offering seedlings for residents to plant. Depew’s Tree Committee would like to encourage residents to plant a tree, if they safely can.
We have black cherry seedlings available for free! If interested, please email [email protected] and one of the members will arrange a contact free delivery.

A Reminder, from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, to Flush Responsibly Certain materials flushed down toilets can damage sewer systems, wastewater treatment operations, or private septic systems, even when they are labeled as flushable. Correcting the damage is expensive, so do not flush any of the items listed below, no matter how small. Please throw them in the trash.
• diapers
• baby wipes
• disinfectant wipes
• personal hygiene products
• any paper products other than toilet paper (e.g., paper towels, facial tissues, paper napkins)
Clogged treatment systems are expensive to clean out.
If you're lucky enough to have these wipes then you've probably been using them a lot. Help protect New York's water infrastructure by properly disposing of cleaning wipes, baby wipes, and other similar wipes and not flushing them down the toilet. Proper disposal is required even if the container says they're able to be flushed.
