The North Collins Department of Public Works will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the village during the week of October 14th, 2025.
Please be advised that flushing may cause some discoloration of water. This does not represent a health hazard. However, customers are cautioned to determine if the water is clear before washing clothes (or any other processing) as staining may occur. We recommend, because the flushing may occur over several days, to check your cold-water system for any discolorations prior to starting any hot water use. If you experience discolored water, run the COLD water in all your faucets for approximately 5-10 minutes. It is best to refrain from hot water use, to protect your hot water system, until the cold water runs clear.
The DPW regrets any temporary inconvenience you may experience; however, the
water supply for both firefighting and domestic consumption. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. Contact the
with any questions. 716-337-3160.

Bruce Temple passed away peacefully and went home to be with the Lord on October 1, 2025, after a long battle with various health concerns. Bruce was a strong, Christian family man who represented what it truly meant to be a caring husband, father, and grandfather. Bruce married in 1979, and adopted a son in 1987 while living in Northeast Ohio. Bruce led a life of quiet perseverance, Christian faith, and love for others. After moving to Angola, NY in 2007 for a new career opportunity, a few months later he found his new church home in North Collins and became one of the elders. In the last few years, he loved visits with his granddaughter Alexis, who would travel with Bruce's son to occasionally meet for lunch in Erie, PA. Even until his last few days, Bruce's spirit of caring for others was still shining bright, as he would give insightful perspective to others about making sure they were taking care of themselves, even as he lay in poor health. Bruce was the beloved husband of Laura (Montgomery) Temple. Loving father of Douglas (Kayla Brewer) Temple and cherished grandfather of Alexis Temple. He was the brother of Carol (Kevin) Colomb and the late Roger Temple and Brother-In-Law of Drema Temple. He was uncle of Allan and Jonathan Temple and Rebekah Engelhardt. Friends may call Saturday October 11, 2025 from 10-11 AM at the First Congregational Church, North Collins, where funeral services will be held at 11 AM. Arrangements by Wentland Funeral Home.

75 YEARS OF SERVICE…
“God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you’?” -- William A. Ward
It only takes a second to say, but its effects could last a lifetime. Is there someone who has made an impact on your life but you’ve never let them know about it? Did someone call you just to say ‘hello’ when things weren’t going right for you?
Expressing gratitude to friends and family are among the most important things we can do. It’s never too late to acknowledge what a difference their acts or help have made for you.
Think of all that you have been given in this life. Expressing thanks to God for His many gifts to us becomes a source of prayer that has immense power.
Use one or more of those wonderful seconds that have been given to each of us, each day, and say “thank you” to the precious people who have touched our lives-- and to God as well.
