TheBee editorial urges readers to rethink New Year resolutions and timing for goals. It argues change can happen any time, notes finances after holidays, and encourages taking time to prepare while remaining optimistic about self improvement in 2024 for Lancaster and Depew readers.
The piece reflects on the New Year song Auld Lang Syne by Robert Burns and shares a personal essay about charity at a Rochester intersection. It also notes Festivus on Dec 28 with its feats of strength and unadorned pole as part of a quirky holiday overview.
A nighttime robbery on Westwood Road involved three men and a lookout girl who forced William A. Stratton to surrender cash after approaching from Peppermint Road. The bandits rode in a yellow coupe and demanded his hands up as they searched his pockets. In Lancaster, liquor licenses have halted since repeal, pushing residents to Buffalo or nearby towns for spirits despite Western New York towns having stores.
Two applications for a license were filed with the board but lacked necessary legal documents. The piece recalls Lancaster’s history as not a liquor town despite 86 historic saloons, with Beck's Lang's Simons German American and other brews and a range of branded spirits gathering dust on back-bar shelves.
