New Sea Lions at the Aquarium
From WGRZ Channel 2 in Buffalo:
The critter count has grown by two as the Aquarium of Niagara has welcomed two new sea lions into their family.
The young females were each found stranded under similar circumstances on a beach and rescued by the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California back in 2009.

Kane’s day: Niagara Falls, stuck on truck ladder
From Chicago Breaking Sports:
From the raging rapids of Niagara Falls to a perch high above his hometown to an old-fashioned floor hockey game, Patrick Kane had quite a day with the Stanley Cup.
The Blackhawks winger, who scored the game-winning goal in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals against the Flyers in June, had his day with the coveted trophy Friday and criss-crossed Buffalo via police escort to showcase the chalice and celebrate the victory.

WNED wants your stories of Niagara Falls
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Wanted: Niagara Falls residents with a video camera to help capture the essence of their community on tape and share it with a large audience of public television viewers across Ontario and Western New York.
No experience necessary.
WNED Buffalo/Toronto has selected the Cataract City as the subject of the next in its series of Our Town documentaries.
The show is intended to be a one-hour “video scrapbook” of the people, places and happenings in Niagara Falls as seen through the eyes of the people who live here.
The station is looking to recruit 20-25 residents who have access to video camcorders to take a lead role in the project — everything from brainstorming topics to shooting video and helping narrate the final, edited product.

Niagara Falls Tunnels
From WGRZ Channel 2 in Buffalo:
10 stories beneath the raging waters of the Niagara River sits a maze of massive tunnels, each of them 30 feet across. The remnants of the industrial break-through that introduced the world to the power in water.
These tunnels are called tailraces and they are just part of the system of the hydro power generating plants that sit on the Ontario side of Niagara Falls.
There is also a 4+ min video

Final bridge approval nears
From the Niagara Falls Review:
After nearly 20 years of often acrimonious debate, final approval for a new bridge across the upper Niagara River is just around the corner.
But there are a few more steps that need to be completed.
Ron Rienas, general manager of the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, says he believes the agency will be in a position to submit a final environmental impact statement on the expansion project to U.S. regulatory authorities for approval by year’s end.
Before that happens, the same document will be submitted to the project’s partners, the Town of Fort Erie and the City of Buffalo, for their consideration.
“We’re hoping to have the (final environmental impact statement) in to the (municipalities) in September and a record of decision by the end of the year,” said Rienas.

Falling for Niagara Falls
Someone with a Wordpress blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls, along with some travel tips:
after what seemed like forever, our departure date finally came! We left early on a Sunday morning to board a tiny plane, taking us from Philadelphia to Buffalo. We had no issues with security, we were becoming quite good at getting through without any major issues or horrible looks from fellow travelers. The flight was quite short and we arrived into Buffalo on time. We rented our car and started on our adventure.

Leadership Niagara Wonders What Can Be Done To Help Niagara Falls
From WGRZ Channel 2 in Buffalo:
Community leaders from Niagara County spent a full day on Thursday delving into a question that many of us have asked for years- why is Niagara Falls, Ontario so vibrant and Niagara Falls, N.Y. is so troubled.
When we compared the two sides of Niagara Falls in a half hour special report on 2 On Your Side, we found there really was no comparison.
Decades of bad decisions and bad leadership have plagued our side of the Falls.
