HMM. I called RG&E, they are telling me that Wirt is in their service area but that they have no customers or meters on Blaine Rd. guess I’ll have to drive out there to get the meter number. Somehow I knew they were going to say that – lol.

Learay, I will stop by! what side of the road are you on? I come in from the 34 (W. Notch) side. Im 7484. . . . If anyone has any idea how i can get rid of the steel junk that was left on the property, please feel free to let me know. I was hoping that someone would want it for scrap metal but i cant find anyone who will take it away. I dont have a dump permit yet for the county so i am bringing everything back to Niagara County and disposing of it here – and thanks for the info!

Welcome Karl! The electric supplier for the town is RG&E.

I actually live at the bottom of the Blaine Road. We have the farm right on the corner. Feel free to stop by and introduce yourself sometime.

Interesting posts. I just found the site and will make sure I continue to re-visit it in the future. . . . But the reason I am posting is because I would like to introduce myself, I just purchased a seasonal residence on Blaine Rd and will be spending time there, looking forward to meeting the neighbors. Can someone tell me who the electric supplier is for Wirt?

To one who obviously does not pay enough in taxes to the township and is perfectly satisfied with substandard services. Sure I complain, that is my right for a taxpaying citizen. I have never received or expected to receive a handout from the county, my monies for over 45 years have gone to support the county and its dependents. I live on a “backroad” because folks like you can’t prevent it, leastwise not yet. I do however expect my “backroad” to be passable 24/7, safe 100% of the time (families, school children and maybe even you travel these “backroads” and I wish no harm to anyone who travels these “backroads” that are generally in disrepair. My taxes even support in part your fire department, which is a good thing, and I extend my thanks to all who give of their time and sweat to assure the citizens of Wirt that they will be there in case of an emergency. As far as the pig farm comment, I for one have enough foresight to rationalize as to where I choose to live or build, however when I do travel outside of the confides of my “backroad” I have notice that there are some places within the township that would make a pig farm appear rather acceptable by comparison. Barnes road is no trip to Paris, but if you travel the section assigned to the Town of Scio you will note a marked difference. Enough said, but I welcome another weak rebutal.

It is kind of funny how some of the people who complain the most about taxes complain the most about how bad there roads are. The town only has so much money for gravel, Ditching, plowing Etc. The last year Jack was in Office the wellsville end of the Barnes in our town was nearly unpassable with my car which sits very low. Jack fixed it. Kurt has also done improvements. You sound like the kind of people who would build a home by a pig farm then after living there a year expect the farmer to do something about the smell. I will agree no town official should tell anyone who complains to move, but at the same time you have accept the disadvanges of living on a back road when you build a home there.

Glad to hear the problem was taken care of even though it shouldn’t have come to that.

Imagine my surprise when I got home yesterday afternoon and found the ditch across the road FULL of water. A “town employee” poked around for several minutes with a pole – diagnosing the problem? – then he left. When he returned a few minutes later, he had a shovel with him (!) and used that to dig around in the dirt, and unplug the sluice, so the ditch could drain…
Isn’t that what Roger did so many weeks ago as a preventive measure? Seems like “town employee” could have saved himself some work in the water-filled ditch yesterday if he’d have hauled away the pile of dirt last week. ~ Mrs. Roger H. ~
