Sacandaga Primitive Area – Whitehouse Campsites
The DEC recently GPS'd the various designated campsites at Whitehouse area of the Sacanadaga Primitive Area along West River Road in Wells. This provides a pretty accurate map of the various campsite locations. West River Road isn't open to motor vehicles yet, but will open later in May once the frost is out of the ground and the dirt road isn't too soft.

2020 Erie County Presidential Election
Amherst was pretty solidly blue in this year's presidential election.
Biden preformed quite well in Orchard Park and East Aurora, which shows how flawed of a candidate the previous incumbent was in the White House.
Trump did fairly well in Tonawanda all things considered but that isn't surprising as that area is quite conservative.

White’s Island, Penna
Jim Inch’s story began in Snyder County before his father Robert rented a house, then owned by the power company, on White Island.
In 1944, Robert swapped five mules—his farming power source—for a down payment on an International Harvester F-12. He planted 65 acres of feed corn, cultivated it three times, hired men to hand-husk it, then paid them with corn, leaving plenty for his corncrib.
Later that season, he learned that his down payment covered the tractor, and he even received a $200 rebate on it. The next year, he planted 36 more acres of corn on White’s Island.
“Dad said right then that he should have quit farming while he was ahead,” says Jim, 81. “You can be rich one day and poor the next in this business.”
Jim, though retired, still works seven days a week. He lives on another farm owned by Roy Adams & Son, Inc., which now has the unique farming rights to White’s and three other islands in the Susquehanna.
Tammy Wolfe, Roy Adams’ daughter and office manager in Sunbury, PA, says most don’t realize how hard farmers work, where food comes from or how technology-based today’s farming is. “We’re proud of that work and proud to be a part of it,” she says.
