Update 28 April 2009 Reminder: 3 May: Benefit for Donald Woodward. The PGR is escorting Donald from his home in Dayton, NY to the Gowanda American Legion where the benefit is being held. Staging at Noon at the Gowanda American Legion. We will depart the AL at 12:30 and plan on being back at 1ish. We have secured a trike for him to ride from his home to the AL if he chooses to ride. This escort will take only an hour from your Sunday. If you are going on a ride Sunday please consider joining us for this escort. I am estimating this escort will take about an hour from staging to the end if you do not wish to stay for the benefit. Welcome Home - SPC. Donald Woodward, Gowanda NY, 03 MAY 09
Don was severely burned (over 83% of his body) while serving our country in Iraq. On November 1, 2007, the vehicle he was driving hit an Improvised Explosive Device. He currently remains in recovery at Brooke Army Medical Center on Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. He will not be released until all wounds have close and rehab has brought him as far as he can progress, hopefully, sometime this spring or summer.
Don graduated from Gowanda Central School in 2002. His wife Crystal is from Forestville, NY and they have 3 lovely daughters.
I will be leaving at 10 am to head to the american legion in gowanda,all members are welcome to join me,I will be leaving from east bethany,email me and ill give you my address and contact info.if possible please bring an american flag to either hold or put on your bike for the escort part of the mission.

Harley Davidson Drawing to benefit fire department Saturday
Batavia's town fire crew is raffling off one mean, chrome chopper this Saturday, and tickets were only $20 a pop — they sold out this morning! For a couple of sawbucks some lucky duck will take home a 105th Anniversary Limited Edition Harley Davidson Fatboy — and for those who know, that's one sweet bike.
All proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit the town of Batavia Fire Department. This is their 9th annual Harley Davidson drawing, and the event Saturday marks their only fundraiser for the year.
But wait, that's not all!
The raffle is really only the icing on the cake for an event that kicks off at 7:00pm under the tent at the town fire department's Rec Hall at 8380 Lewiston Road (across from K-Mart and just down the road from Batavia Downs). They'll also be serving up hotdogs, burgers and grilled sausage (for a few bucks). Beer and pop will also be available, plus a 50/50 raffle, plus pull-tabs, plus... music: 7th Heaven will take the stage around 8:00pm and rock out the evening.
Admission to the event is free. You don't need to buy a raffle ticket to attend. But anyone under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Video: Lt. Jankowski's restored Harley-Davidson police motorcycle
There were inspiring moments during Batavia's Memorial Day parade, and there were moments of significant community pride, but what may have been the single wow! moment was when Lt. Eugene Jankowski drove by on his restored Harley-Davidson police bike.
Yesterday, I visited the acting police chief and 30-year department veteran at his home and shot a short video interview with him about the bike. He was kind enough to supply some pictures to help tell the story of the bike.
Here's the video:
In case you missed it, here's our video from the Memorial Day parade.
