WNY Ford Dealers award 2011 Ford F-150 with EcoBoost™ to John Domres of Buffalo

BUFFALO, NY – Friday, John E. Domres, Jr. of Buffalo beat a one in 12 chance to drive away in a brand-new 2011 Ford F-150 pickup truck with EcoBoost™, courtesy of the Western New York Ford Dealers.

At the WYRK NAPA Auto Parts Taste of Country, a dozen contestants dressed in exclusive Ford-branded cowboy hats and t-shirts anxiously stood on Coca-Cola Field hoping that WYRK's Clay Moden and Dale Mussen would not call their names. A reverse-style lottery eliminated contestants when their names were announced, leaving only Mr. Domres and one other contestant left standing. Each then received a key to the truck. Both pressed the alarm button on their key and it was Mr. Domres who won the showdown as the alarm sounded on the red candy-colored grand prize.

Four Peregrine Falcon Chicks at Central Terminal Given Names to Reflect Local Railroad History

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in cooperation with the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation, is pleased to announce that four  Peregrine Falcons have hatched and are nesting at Buffalo’s historic Central Terminal – another victory in the decades long effort to reintroduce this endangered species in the northeast.

The nest box, constructed and installed by the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation in 2009, is currently home to two adult Peregrines and four chicks that began hatching towards the end of May. DEC Biologists recently accessed the nest to band the falcon chicks (also known as eyases) and report that they are healthy and in good condition. It was discovered that there are two male and two female chicks.
