DEC Prepares to Kick Off Unofficial Start of Spring with Trout Fishing Opportunities
With Year-Round Trout Seasons, April 1 Marks End of Catch-and-Release-Only and Start of Harvest Season New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced the upcoming start of the spring trout fishing season, which provides excellent angling opportunities statewide thanks to the States extensive stocking program and considerable number of wild trout fisheries. DEC's spring trout stocking begins in March and runs through early June, and includes more than 1.8 million trout stocked in waters statewide. "Fishing in New York State is a highly anticipated, world-class experience that brings seasoned and amateur anglers to our waters in every corner of the State every spring," Commissioner Seggos said. "DEC's extensive fish stocking efforts throughout the State are certain to complement our existing healthy fisheries and make the upcoming harvest season a success." For decades, April 1 was the traditional "opening day" of trout fishing season. This year, the date marks the opening of the harvest season for trout because year-round fishing was made available on most streams with the implementation of an Oct. 16 - March 31 artificial lures-only catch-and-release season. DEC stocking trucks have already begun hitting the roadways and trout stocking is in full swing with 1,872,105 catchable brown, rainbow,
with public fishing rights. Last year DEC launched an interactive Trout Stream Fishing Map to provide anglers with one-stopshopping for information about stocking, fishing access, season dates, and regulations on DECinfo Locator. Anglers will be able to view trout stream reaches color-coded by management category and fishing access associated and brook trout stocked in complicated. Of particular with those reaches. These ponds and streams across the interest to trout anglers is a layers will allow trout stream State this spring.

LINOCUT PRINTMAKING OFFERED AT SPRINGVILLE CENTER FOR THE ARTS SPRINGVILLE — Join Springville Center for the Arts and instructor Eric Tuberdyke for a two-part printmaking class. Participants will work at their level to create one-color prints utilizing linoleum block printing techniques, or “linocuts.” Students will receive a brief introduction to the history of printmaking, background on design concepts such as the use of negative space, and guidance in selecting a design or creating one of their own. They will leave with a series of prints or personal greeting cards. Linocut involves using tools to carve designs into a block of linoleum, inking the block with a roller, then pressing the block onto paper. Notable artists who have worked in this medium include M.C. Escher and Pablo Picasso.
Eric Tuberdyke is an experienced photographer and visual communications director with more than 20 years of experience in multiple aspects of digital and print design, layout, and photography. He owns Patronus Photographic, a photography, design, and video production studio specializing in custom portraits, event photography, and company branding. Those interested in attending Lino-Cut Printmaking can call Springville Center for the Arts at (716) 592-9038 or visit SpringvilleArts.org to enroll. The two-part class will be held Tuesday, April 19th and Thursday, April 21st, from 6-8:30pm. Lino-Cut Printmaking will be held in the workshop space of Art’s Cafe, located at 5 East Main Street in Springville.

Nursing Homes Across State Serve as Community Drop-Off Centers for Ukrainian Relief Initiative
Employees from 16 nursing and rehabilitation facilities in the McGuire Group, VestraCare and Absolut Care portfolios are coordinating a Ukrainian relief effort at their facilities. The locations will serve as drop-off centers for supplies that will be sent directly to the people of Ukraine through the Dnipro Ukrainian Cultural Center in Buffalo.
Community members are welcome to drop off items through April 6th between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm. A list of the items that are needed can be found below. At this time, they are only asking for the specific items on the list. Monetary donations are also being accepted via check or a designated PalPal account listed on the culture center’s website.
“As an organization of caregivers, we felt compelled to assist the Ukrainian people in their time of need,” stated Amy McKnight, activity director, who is spearheading the initiative on behalf of the three portfolios. “We know there are a lot of people within our communities who would like to help in some way and this gives them an option.” Drop off locations by county: C AT TA R AU G U S COUNTY: Absolut Care of Allegany, 2178 North 5th St, Allegany, NY 14706 C H A U T A U Q U A COUNTY: Absolut Care of Westfield, 26 Cass St, Westfield, NY 14787 Chautauqua Nursing and Rehabilitation Center 10836

Springville Center for the Arts Presents Flora: The Beauty All Artound Us “Don’t expect to go to heaven. Heaven is here on Earth,” Robert Adler’s grandmother would tell him as a child. This quote came to mind when planning his upcoming photography exhibition at Art’s Café. Born in 1950 in Ontario, Canada, Adler spent his childhood summers learning about the natural world. Inspired by the forms and colors of plant-life, he began taking pictures and experimenting with juxtapositions and lighting. He considers his work largely impressionist and meant to convey feeling. He writes, “Some of my favorite images are that of water; images of the sea and the clouds and the pooling and reflecting and streaming of water. But this exhibit is about another kind of water - flora. Flora is water
manifested in three dimensions. A small seed contains an incredible amount of information which will be used to create amazing plants. But without water it just sits there. Add water and the lifecycle of creation begins. Shapes, sizes, colors emerge.” Flora: The Beauty All Around Us is presented by Springville Center for the Arts and will be on display at Art’s Café from March 30th through May 14th. The Café’s hours are Wednesday through Saturday 9am to 4pm.
The public is welcome to enjoy complimentary refreshments and conversation with Adler at an artist’s reception on Saturday, April 2nd at 1pm at Art’s Café, located at 5 East Main Street in Springville.
