Friday February 24th saw an official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony at AG combat sports. Which is located at 71 E. Main St. on the second floor of the R.O.R building. AG combat sports is a Martial Arts and fitness studio that offers classes in Freestyle karate, Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing and Boxing for all ages. This is now the third studio in the AG combat sports family with the main one on Foote Ave in Jamestown, one in Randolph N.Y. and this one here in Westfield. Classes are offered during the evenings Monday – Friday and Saturday morning.

It’s always great to announce a new business in Westfield. Lets make them welcome to the town. It’s great when someone from outside the immediate area commits resources by opening a new business that continue to make Westfield N.Y. an amazing place.

Natural Gas for Vehicles has arrived in Westfield N.Y. (Barcelona)

Natural Gas for Vehicles

Barcelona Market is now pumping Natural Gas for Vehicles

If you have dreamed of the good old days when we were paying $ 1.90 per gallon of gas to get you from point A to point B those days are back. With a new service being offered at the Barcelona Store you can now fill your car, trucks or tractors with less expensive natural gas. You can’t just run down there to pump natural gas into your vehicle but when you spend the reasonable cost to have your vehicle converted to run on natural gas you will pay for that cost pretty quickly on the lower fuel cost you will have when filling up next time. Natural gas also is far more green than other fossil fuels putting less green house gasses into the air and I’m told you can also expect better miles per gallon if you convert your diesel vehicles to natural gas and with a gas engine you will have to settle for paying $1.90 per gallon instead of the $3.57 your paying for gas in January of 2012 with the cost of fuel expected to just keep going up it might be a good time to look into natural gas.

With the installation of additional storage tanks they are ready to fuel fleets of vehicles, including service trucks, semi – trucks, farm tractors, buses, RV’s or your personal car or light duty truck.


Natural Gas Pumping Station at Barcelona Market Westfield N.Y.

Natural Gas Pumping Station at Barcelona Market, Westfield N.Y.

Fueling your vehicles is as easy as using a credit card the pump is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You can fuel on your schedule not the gas stations schedule.

 

 

 

 

Since both gas and diesel engines can be converted to run on natural gas and the cost of fueling up is almost half the cost your paying now you have no excuse not to check into natural gas to see how it can benefit you.

Barcelona Market is located at the corner of State Rt. 5 and N. Portage St in Westfield N.Y. (Barcelona)

Elora Esce – Photographer – Our first Featured Artist on amazingwestfieldny.com

     I was first introduced to Elora’s work while viewing a recent show at the Patterson Library’s Octagon Gallery. She was one of six photographers showcasing some of their work. As a photographer I’m always looking for great images and the minute I saw Elora’s images you could tell she knew what she was doing technically as well as having an eye for composition and detail. The print quality and the way the images stood out just said quality in every respect. If you haven’t guessed I’m a fan.
We are honored to have Elora as the first Featured Artist and hope she will provide us with new images to view in the future.
Below is more information about Elora:
Picture of Elora Esce Photographic Artist

Elora Esce Photographer

Elora graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science. Elora has an intense passion for the outdoors and finds joy hiking during all seasons. Elora is a member of the North Shore Arts Alliance and has an upcoming show at the Patterson Library Octagon Gallery scheduled for this May.

Description of Work:
     “I find inspiration by collecting plants, insects, and skulls that I find during my hiking sessions. I mainly use my digital SLR camera and/or a scanner to create each piece.
The following is an exert from the Hair Series artist statement:
      “I started to think about what exactly defines how other people perceive me. Throughout my life my hair has greatly affected who I am. Hair, however, is superficial and I wanted to find a way to bring a superficial thing like appearance to a deeper level. Also I wanted to think about how my physical appearance has affected my personality and how I feel about myself. Each image is composed of three elements; hair, plants and insects. These concepts are combined into one image and meant to be an extension of my inner self. The hair describes my physical self while the plants describe my love for the natural world. The insects interact with both the hair and plant elements to signify how our physical and emotional selves can produce personality. These images are meant to be small snapshots into my imagination, as if you were to peer into the night with a spot light. The beings depicted here are in constant motion, until the spotlight falls upon them and they are frozen in time.”

Prints are available for purchase. Please contact the artist at eloraesce@yahoo.com to discuss sizing, prices, and framing.
