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.

Rare Film Of 1938 Niagara Falls Bridge Collapse
From WGRZ Channel 2 in Buffalo:
Jim Grimaldi, a West Seneca, NY based filmmaker and television producer, also operates a business where he’ll take your old home movies and convert them to a modern format.
Recently, the family of a long ago local dentist named Harold Sipple approached him with a box of 8mm films, some of which dated back to the 1930′s.
“With that amount of footage I kind of guessed there would be something in there that was kind of historical or maybe even newsworthy,” Grimaldi told WGRZ-TV.
And indeed, between various and sundry images of Sipple family picnics and beach outings, he found it — in the form of a 32-second clip of the aftermath of the January, 1938 collapse of the Honeymoon Bridge in Niagara Falls.

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.

NIAGARA FALLS FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS TO RISE AGAIN?
From WGRZ Channel 2 in Buffalo:
For two decades it reigned as perhaps Western New York’s premier winter time event. The Niagara Falls, NY Festival of Lights drew millions of tourists in a traditionally drab time of year for the hospitality industry, and once captured the American Bus Association’s coveted designation as the number one event in North America.
Beginning in 1981 travelers descended in droves upon the Falls for the festival’s annual 44 day run starting Thanksgiving weekend, to see the electric light parade, and the more than 1-million lights which twinkled in the Falls’ South End as well as indoor animated displays, concerts, and athletic events.
But by the time the new century began, the luster had worn off. Competing events sliced into the festival’s once unique status and corporations, notably Carborundum and Occidental, left Niagara Falls taking their sponsorship dollars with them.
Now, about a decade after the once vaunted event went dark, there are plans being laid for its return.
