The Niagara daredevil I knew didn’t quit – and it killed him
From Buffalo Business First:
On July 3, 1984, a Czech emigre by the name of Karel Soucek rode in a nine-foot barrel over the cataracts at Niagara Falls, and lived.
A few months later, on Jan. 19, 1985, a stunt he was performing in the Houston Astrodome malfunctioned and within a day he was dead, the victim of massive injuries.
I got to thinking about Soucek after reading that Nik Wallenda is still trying to get official permission to walk on a high wire above Niagara Falls. These fellows always come to Niagara Falls, don’t they?

Water park finds magical way to entertain kids
Apparently the Niagara Falls Great Wolf Lodge has a new interactive game that is being installed. The Niagara Falls Review Business Beat has a report:
You have to watch your step walking through the halls of Great Wolf Lodge.
Even on a weekday winter morning, dozens of kids are running around from floor to floor of the Niagara Falls resort and waterpark.
In their hands are magic wands (computerized magic, of course) that they use to find hidden treasure, slay dragons and bring characters to life.
It’s all part of MagiQuest, a new interactive game being installed at Great Wolf Lodge locations across North America, including Niagara Falls.

Director Sobol brings it all back home, again
From the Niagara Falls Review:
As tensions rise between the border guard and suspicious driver at the Rainbow Bridge, Jonathan Sobol can’t keep a straight face.
He’s watching on a monitor ten feet away as the guard, played by Canadian comedian Mike Wilmott, asks the driver – actor Jay Baruchel – what’s in the trunk of his car. With every take, Baruchel changes his answer.
“Smugglers,” he responds. “I am smuggling smugglers in my trunk.”
It goes on for a half dozen takes, the crew smirking with each one, careful not to laugh and ruin the scene. Finally Sobol yells cut and everyone breaks for lunch. He asks Baruchel which take he liked best.
“That’s up to you, dude,” he says.
Sobol gives his star a hug, and all is well on the set of The Black Marks, the Niagara Falls director’s follow-up to his 2010 dark comedy A Beginner’s Guide to Endings, also filmed locally.

Canadian officials pressed on Maid of the Mist issue
From the Buffalo News:
New York’s senators urged Canadian officials Thursday to protect the jobs, docking areas and brand name of the Maid of the Mist Co., regardless of whether another tour company is awarded launching rights around Niagara Falls.
In a letter to Canada’s Niagara Parks Commission chairwoman, Janice Thomson, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said that the 150 jobs created by the American Maid of the Mist operation should be preserved and that the Maid of the Mist brand name be maintained.
