| 2013 Conservation Tree & Shrub Seedlings Available | ||
| Thu. Jan 24 to Wed. Mar 13 | ||
| 8am-5pm | ||
| Order forms for the 2013 Conservation Tree and Shrub Seedling Sale are now available from Erie County Soil and Water Conservation District. The District is offering many varieties of conservation trees and shrubs, wildflower seed mixes, and seedling packets which have combinations of trees and shrubs chosen to attract, feed and shelter birds, butterflies and other wildlife. Landowners can practice conservation by planting seedlings and wildflowers to provide wildlife food and habitat, shelter crops and landscape, reduce heating/cooling expenses, protect water quality, reduce air pollution, and stabilize erodible land. Seedlings are also an inexpensive alternative for replacing trees that have been damaged or lost. Thirty-two species of trees and shrubs are available this year. The one-to-three-year-old bare root seedlings, which range in size from 6 to 24 inches, are available in lots of 10 to 500. The District is offering an expanded selection of four- year-old evergreen transplants which are more mature trees with thicker stems, more branching and more developed roots. Also, a new seedling introduction to the 2013 program is the broadleaf tree Shagbark Hickory. The District also stocks marking flags, fertilizer tablets, and tree shelters to help promote the success of your plantings. Bluebird nest boxes can be ordered through the program or be purchased at the District office. Order forms may be obtained by stopping at the District office at 50 Commerce Way in East Aurora (behind Post Office), by calling (716) 652-8480 ext. 5, or by printing the order form from the District website at www.ecswcd.org. Orders are due by March 15, 2013 and pick-up will be on Saturday April 13, 2013 at the Fairgrounds in Hamburg. h/c access | ||

| A WNY Premiere at 710 Main Theatre Feb. 1 – 17, 2013 By Annie Baker * Directed by Scott Behrend Five small-town strangers leave their comfort zones and come together in Marty’s “Adult Creative Drama” community education course. Instructor Marty is boundless in her invention and enthusiasm, though she has never taught a Theatre class before. Newly minted divorcee Schultz seeks adventure and validation (or maybe just wants to be around people). Lauren is a rudderless teenager who half-heartedly participates, despite her claims that she wants to do some “real acting”. Theresa is a “real actress” – or at least has been trying to be a real actress in New York City – but now has returned to rural Vermont, stinging from rejection and romantic disaster. And James is present… well… mostly in a display of moral support (Marty is his wife). Novice Acting Coach Marty offers this motley crew no end of exercises, games, and self- reflective assignments to sink their teeth into: they pose as trees, beds, and baseball gloves; they perform emotional scenes using only words like “goulash” and “ak-mak”; they pretend to be one another, telling each other life stories (or as best as they’re able to discern). They write deep, dark secrets (anonymously) on scraps of paper and listen, sitting in a circle on the floor, as the confessions are drawn at random and read aloud. “I’m so excited to get to know all of you,” Marty tells her four students at their first meeting. Eight weeks later, there has been laughter and conflict… discoveries have been made… alliances and flirtations are formed and discarded, and new ones evolve in their place… and each of these five strangers has, indeed, come to know one another – and themselves – much more profoundly and intimately than they ever would have suspected.

| It’s an all new look at Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical. With its music stripped down to its essence and played by actors in a deliberate departure from the over amplified arena style performances that earned the show the nickname Rant, this production of RENT promises to bring the compelling story to audiences in a whole new way. h/c access, $ | ||
