FALLS VISITORS

The Niagara Tourism and Convention Corporation
says a survey done by a Toronto research outfit showed
that 57 per cent of the people who visited the Falls
last year only stayed for a day and that most of them
were on their way to the Casino rather than the State
Park. The study was done by Longwoods International
and was based on 521 on-line surveys. Thirty-seven
per cent went to the casino and 32 per cent the State
Park. The company estimates that 6-million people
visited the City in 2008. Those who stayed overnight
said shopping was their main reason for coming,
followed closely by the State Park, fine dining, and
landmark or historical sites. Meantime, Falls Tourism
Advisory Board Chairman Jerry Genova sent a letter
to the City Council Wednesday asking them to call for
the resignation of NTCC Chairman John Percy. Genova
said it's become evident Percy does not have the best
interests of the Falls at heart. NTCC Chair Tricia Mezhir
said the Council didn't hire Percy, the Board of Directors
did, and they're very happy with his performance.

RAPIDS THEATRE

The Rapids Theatre re-opens tomorrow night
in the Falls following two years of extensive
renovation. The nearly $2-million project was
paid for with a grant from the city's Economic
Development Office, KeyBank, and private
contributions. The historic theatre opened in
1921 as Shea's Bellevue. It was renamed the
Rapids in the early 60's and it closed as a movie
theatre in 1974. It was used as a concert location
for many years and was most recently known as
the Dome Theatre. New owner John Hutchins
grew up in the Falls. Tickets for tomorrow night's
reopening are $20. "Classic Albums Live" from
Toronto will perform the Beatles Sergeant Peppers
Lonely Hearts Club Band album complete with a
17 piece band.

SEX OFFENDER

The Sheriff's Department says a sex offender
from Flordia is believed to be in Niagara Falls.
Warrants have been issued for Cyston Brundidge
in Florida and the Falls. He's a 36 year old black
male with black hair and brown eyes and weighs
155 pounds. He did not show up for a parole
hearing in Florida. Anyone with information is
asked to call 438-3393.

NIAGARA GUTTER

The owner of Niagara Gutter in Wheatfield told
the Sheriff's Department yesterday morning
several ladders were stolen overnight from trucks
parked in front of his business. Brad Cline said
they would have had to have a truck to take them.
Two aluminum ladders, one 32 feet and the other
40 feet were taken along with a 40 foot fiberglass
ladder and a 40 fot aluminum pick. The business
is at 3448 Niagara Falls Boulevard. Cline estimated
his loss at $2,300.

ED'S COUNTRY STORE

Over $500 in cash, along with electronics and
alcohol were taken in an overnight burglary
at Ed's Country Store on Lake Road in Wilson.
The manager said she closed at 1am Thursday
and the break-in was discovered when they
re-opened at 5am. Entry was made through an
outside east door that had been pried open.
Besides the money, $600 worth of liquor were
taken along with a $450 DVR machine and a
$300 computer.

BUSY NIGHT AT ONE LOCKS PLAZA

Lockport lawmakers ratified a new contract last
night with the Hickory Club Police Benevolent
Association. The deal gives officers a four per
cent raise for this year retroactive to January first.
The three year deal also provides for a two per
cent raise every six months during the year's
2010, 2011, and 2012. It also looks like the three
Council members who'll leave office at the end of
the year will still be involved in government. The
Council scheduled a public hearing for December
16 on increasing the number of members on the
Fire and Police Boards from four to five. Mayor
Mike Tucker said he wants to give the extra seat
on the Fire Board to outgoing alderman Pat
Schrader. He's been on the board for most of his
time in office. Tucker also said outgoing Council
President John Lombardi is interested in joining
the Police Board and that Amanda Alexander
could get a job in the City Treasurer's office. She
was one of six people who tied for first place on a
civil service test. The job pays almost $28,000
a year. The Mayor makes the appointment. The
Council also created a reserve fund to pay for
the operations of the Flight of Five Locks and
the Lockport Harbor Canal Marina projects,
provided they go forward. The Lockport Locks
Heritage District Fund will get half of each year's
annual increase in sales tax revenue. The City
needs about $6.5-million more for the Flight of
Five. At their work session, lawmakers seemed
to lose interest in building a new downtown parking
ramp after a consultant told them it would now
cost $10-million, about $2-million more than a
previous estimate. City Clerk and Budget Director
Dick Mullaney said the only way to pay for it would
be to borrow money in the bond market.

TENTH STREET TO BE REPAVED IN THE FALLS

Falls Mayor Paul Dyster will be joined by
Medical Center President & CEO Joe Ruffalo
at 2pm today to announce plans to reconstruct
Tenth Street. It's paving has been awaiting
State approval for years. It's a major city
arterial that crosses the city's South End
and Memorial Park neighborhoods. The
reconstruction will be a "full depth dig."

EVENTS TONIGHT

The County Historical Society has it's annual
holiday event tonight at the Colonel William Bond
House. It runs from 6 till 8:30 pm and includes
a full tour of each of the 12 rooms adorned for
the season. Randy Andropolis & Friends will
provide the sounds of the season and therell
be hot mulled cider and fancy cookies. The home
was decorated by Gloria & Becky Pittler. There is
a $3 admission charge. The home is at 143 Ontario.
Meantime, the Lockport High School Guidance
Department is sponsoring a free Financial Aid
Awareness Seminar starting at 7 in the High
School Auditorium, It's for the parents of college
bound seniors, but the their kids are also welcome
as are the parents of juniors and their children.

father of UFO research appears at NCCC. Ted
Phillips is the Director For Physical Trace Evidence.
He will speak at 7pm in room E-142. A $3 donation
will be taken at the door for Niagara Hospice.

DELPHI RETIREES

Congressman Chris Lee spoke out on behalf
of Delphi workers and retirees yesterday during a
House Education & Labor Pensions subcommittee
hearing. The pension benefits for salaried retirees
could be cut by as much as 70 per cent as a result
of decisions made by the company, GM, and the
Auto Task Force. The decision affects thousands
of Western New Yorkers and about 20,000 more
people across the country. Lee submitted a stack
of letters from current and former salaried Delphi
workers. He said it was just wrong that they'll
lose most of their benefits while union employees
will get their full retirement pay. Delphi left
bankruptcy with only $2.4-billion in it's pension
fund, about $2.6-billion short of what they need.
The Delphi Salaried Retiree Association has filed
a lawsuit against the Federal government.

GAY MARRIAGE BILL DEFEATED

The State Senate voted 38-24 yesterday not to
legalize gay marriage. Every Senator from Western
New York voted against the measure except for
Antoine Thompson. The Assembly o-k'd the bill
earlier in the day. The Governor was on a Rochester
radio station this morning. He said he would not
reintroduce the bill next year unless he saw a
substantial change in the position of the legislators.
He said he believed the votes were there for passage
but said people don't want to go down on a losing ship
and they were afraid to vote for it unless they knew there
were enough votes to pass it. He said he respected
the religious beliefs of those who were opposed to it
but we live in a secular society and every couple should
have the same rights. The Senate did pass a plan to cut
$2.8-billion from this year's budget, but the deficit is at
least $3.2-billion. Paterson said lawmakers can't keep
putting off their obligations, that the State Comptroller
has said the day of reckoning is coming at the end of
December. He said the legislature blissfully came to
Albany and cut a couple of things. He charged they'll
now go back to their districts and proclaim they saved
the schools. Paterson said "they did not save the schools, that
they didn't cut them, but the payments that will have to be
delayed will be far more painful than what the legilsators
were saying they avoided". Lawmakers did o-k the first
reforms to the state pension system in 25 years. It creates
a new Tier five pesnion level and raises the minimum age
at which most civilians can retire without penalty from 55
to 62. A seperate Tier Five benefit structure is included for
members of the New York State Teachers Retirement
System. It raises their minimum retirement age from 55 to
57 and increases their annual contribution from 3 to 3.5
per cent. Paterson said it would produce billions in long
term savings.

CESCON WAIVES HEARING

The Lockport boy charged with driving the pick-up
that killed Adam Mottorn November 17 waived his
right to a preliminary hearing yesterday in City Court.
Seventeen year old Anthony Cescon was surrounded
by family and friends. His decision sets the stage for the
case to go to County Court and to be heard by a grand
jury unless a plea deal is reached first. Lockport
Detective Captain Rick Podgers has previously said
the crash appeared to be intentional and involved a
dispute over marijuana sales. He indicated the
investigation is continuing and that more charges could
be filed against Cescon and perhaps against his 16
year old passenger in the pick-up. Cescon is currently
charged with a felony for leaving the scene of a fatal
hit and run accident.

BICYCLIST CHARGED AFTER ACCIDENT

An 18 year old bicyclist who was hit around 4:45pm
Wednesday on South Transit is charged with kicking
the windshield of the car that hit him. Justin Gore of
Ashland Avenue in the Falls was one of two teens
riding on the east shoulder of the road. He was hit
by a 60 year old Lockport man. He said he didn't
see them as he was making a right turn out of a\
parking lot. As he was getting out of his 2009
Subaru to check on Gore, Gore allegedly approached
the man, started yelling, and began punching the
windshield causing it to crack. Gore was charged
with criminal mischief and was being held on $250
bail. The driver was not charged. The damage to the
windshield was estimated to be $250.

A-E-S SETTLEMENT

A settlement was reached Tuesday by the three
parties involved in the AES pilot controversey.
The County Legislature, the Town of Somerset,
and the Barker School District agreed to let the
company continue to reduce it's tax bills to the
same level it would have reached through the
break that was invalidated by a court. AES will
pay $15.8-million each year from 2011 through
2015. The School District will get the most of
each years payment, 59.25 per cent or
$9,361,000. The County gets 31.5 per cent or
$4,977,000. Somerset will receive 9.25 percent
or $1,461,500. Town Supervisor Richard Meyers
called it an improvement over the original tax
break.

THE BUDGET MERRY GO ROUND

State lawmakers agreed Tuesday on $2.8-billion
worth of cuts to reduce the State's current year
deficit. They refused to make any reductions in aid
to schools and the State could still be as much as
a billion dollars in the red. The shortfall is officially
$3.2-billion, but State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli says
it really may be as much as $4-billion. The Senate is
expected to pass the budget measure today and then
debate the Governor's gay marriage proposal.

AFGHANISTAN

Congresswoman Louise Slaughter is at odds
with the President over his decision to send
30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. She says
sooner or later we have to come home and
the time is now. She said she would have
preferred to hear Obama say he would be
bringing our forces home next year. Slaughter
said we have been there for eight years and
she's skeptical about the Presidents claim
we would be out in three more. She also
said the cost is so exorbitant that we can't
afford it, especially in a country that says it can't
afford health care. She said she was troubled
to see us send our young people to a country
that can't defend itself and did not think she
would be voting to support the action.

LOCKPORT FIREFIGHTERS FILE SUIT

The Lockport Firefighters Union filed suit
against the City Monday in State Supreme
Court. They want a judge to enforce a State
mediators decision requiring more firefighters
per shift. They also filed an improper labor
practice charge against the City. It stems from
the Common Council's refusal to vote on their
new contract. A mediator with the State Labor
Relations Board on October 7 ordered the City
to increase the staffing from nine to ten men
per shift. He said having only nine violated a
provision in their contract where the City
pledges to man all equipment with adequate
manpower to assure safety. Mayor Mike Tucker
said he doesn't foresee a change in the City's
stance.

HOUSE FIRE IN THE FALLS

An overnight fire in the Falls at 2219 LaSalle
Avenue is being blamed on an unattended
candle. Fire Chief Bill MacKay said one man
was taken to the Medical Center for treatment
of smoke inhaltion. He was sleeping and the
only one in the home when the blaze was
discovered around 1:30am. The fire was
deemed under control about two hours later
and crews finally left around 7am. Damage was
estimated at $50,000 to the structure and
$25,000 to it's contents. As per a plan announced
after a fatal fire a couple of weeks ago, members
of the department will be back on the block
today. They'll be telling people about the fire and ways
they can safeguard their lives and property.

SEX OFFENDERS KICKED OFF FACEBOOK & MY SPACE

Attorney General Andy Cuomo said Tuesday 3500
registered sex offenders in New York have been
kicked off Facebook and MySpace. About 350 of
them are from the eight Western New York counties
and 67 of them live in Niagara County. The State
passed a law last year barring convicted sex
offenders on parole or probation from using the
sites if their victimes were a minor, if they met them
on the internet, or if they are a level three offender.

TREE LIGHTING TONIGHT IN THE FALLS

The City of Niagara Falls has it's annual tree
lighting ceremony at 4:30 today in the lobby
of City Hall. The display was put together by
volunteers led by Louise Yots. It's called
Wedding Wonderland and a lot of donations
helped make it possible. The manequins were
donated by Macy's in the Galleria Mall, one
of the wedding dresses is from Yots personal
collection and dates from about 1940. The other
was donated by a Pine Avenue business. Tuxedo
Junction chipped in the tuxedo and the wedding
cake came from the Conference Center. White and
gold are the primary colors on the tree. The
festivities include music by a celtic group
called Thyme Lass and a newly formed female
choral group named Voces Regales. There'll be
free refreshments. This is the ninth year that the
lobby was decorated by Yots, Laura Lee Morgan,
and Ann Marriage. The theme was partly chosen
because the Falls is known for weddings.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

The New York Power Authority is looking for
proposals from companies interested in
developing wind power projects off the shores
of Lakes Erie and Ontario. The project would
be the first fresh water wind energy initiative
in the Country. The Authority is looking for a
project capable of generating 120 to 500 megawatts.
President and CEO Richard Kessel announced the
plan yesterday at the Power Vista in Lewiston.
Large areas off Lake Erie between Lackawanna
and the Pennsylvania border are prime locations
while a small spot near Youngstown is the only
one near Niagara County. The remaining areas
are in the vicinity of Jefferson and Oswego
counties. The proposals are due by next June.

ANELLO

District Court Judge William Skretny turned
down an appeal Tuesday from former Falls
Mayor Vince Anello. His defense team wanted
to have a report and reccomendation from
Magistrate Judge Jeremiah McCarthy overturned.
McCarthy had rejected an earlier appeal to have the
public corruption charges against Anello dismissed.
Skretney affirmed McCarthy's ruling but he did not
set a trial date. He is awaiting a ruling by the U.S.
Supreme Court on the "honest services law." Anello's
chief lawyer, Joel Daniels, maintains the counts
related to the law in the indictment against the
former Mayor are too vague.

LAUNDRY ROOM FIRE

The South Lockport Fire Company put out
a small blaze Tuesday afternoon in the
laundry room at the Lincoln Heights Apartment
Complex. A resident, Neil Smirnow, discovered the
fire around 1:30. He called 911 and helped
several people out of the building. A Sheriff's
deputy said it appeared to have started in the
basement near the hot water heater, but the
official cause is still under investigation.

FINANCIAL AID SEMINAR AT LOCKPORT HIGH SCHOOL

The Lockport High School Guidance Department
will hold a free financial aid awareness program

aid and the New York State Tuition Assistance
Program. The session starts at 7 in the High School
Auditorium. Students, as well as the parents of
juniors are also welcome

NIAGARA FALLS CITY COUNCIL

Lawmakers in the Falls received their annual
report yesterday from the City's Human Rights
Commission. Vice Chair, the Reverand Richard
Hague, said there had been a more than 200
per cent increase in the incident referals made to
the Committee in the past fiscal year. He said
the incidents reported between the police and
community relations had risen by over 250
per cent. He said the number increased from
143 last year to over 300 this year. Labor
workforce complaints increased by 200 per cent
and housing complaints rose by 200 per cent
as well. He said the City has an increase of
over 200 per cent from it's own employees.
His report spurred a discussion about the hiring of
the City's EEOC officer. The full time job is a
requirement of an anti-discrimination settlement
announced last month with the State. Officials
said they would take steps to make sure it doesn't
become a political appointment in the future. The
City is still seeking applicants for the job after two
attempts to find somebody produced just a few
qualified candidates. Meantime, Civil Engineer Bob
Buzzelli said the contractor for the long awaited
reconstruction of Lewiston Road has received
a DEC license to deal with the radioloogical
material buried in the roadbed but the agency
now wants more testing to be done before they
start. He still thought some work would begin in
a month.

STATE BUDGET

The Governor called a stop to negotiations on
the budget late Monday and ordered cuts in
scheduled state payments to school districts
across the state. They're due December 15
and Paterson explained the procedure this
morning on a New York City radio station.
He said the way it would work is that he
will delay payments to entities that would be
equal to the cuts they would have sustained
if the Legislature would have acted. He said
the Legislature is going to perhaps agree to
a $2.8-billion deficit reduction but $1.6-billion
are actions he took on his own and
$400-million of it is stimulus money that
was supposed to be used next year that
they have borrowed against. Paterson made
yesterday's announcement a few hours after
leaders of the Senate and Assembly presented
him with a final offer to solve the state's fiscal
problems. It did not include any cuts to
education. Lawmakers dismissed it all as
bluster and said they may pass their own
deficit reduction plan today. School officials
were already talking last night about
possibly going to court to stop the cuts.

WINTER WEATHER

The Lake Effect Snow Advisory was already
cancelled for Niagara County by 6:30 this
morning. National Weather Service forecaster
Dave Sage said the Buffalo-Niagara Airport
picked up the most, about 5.8 inches. The most
that fell in these parts was in the southern area
of the County. North Tonawanda got about
2 to 3 inches, Clarence received 3 to 4, and
an inch fell in Lockport and it was mostly on the
grass. The heaviest was about two inches along
the Erie-Niagara border. Sage said temperatures
would warm into the mid 40's this afternoon. A larger
storm is brewing for Friday but Sage thinks it
will be centered south of our area.

TORONTO GAME

The Bills say the BareNaked Ladies will sing the
U.S. national anthem prior to the start of
Thursday night's Bills-Jets game. The team
says a tailgate party will run from 3 till 8pm on
Bremmer Road at the intersection of Lower Simcoe
Street. There'll be live entertainment, guest
appearances by Bills alumni, and interactive
games courtesy of tailgate sponsor, Budweiser.

FLOOD PLAIN MAPS

Wheatfield is trying to delay the implementation
of those new revised FEMA flood plain maps.
Town Attorney Bob O'Toole said last night he
wrote Senator Chuck Schumer last week and
asked him to get the agency to put the maps
on hold until Congress looks into alleged
inaccuracies in the studies. In his letter,
O'Toole told Schumer FEMA had responded
to the Town's latest objections and given them
30 days to reply. O'Toole wants that deadline
extended while Congress makes a determination.
He said he's also trying to get Congressman
Chris Lee to get FEMA to pay for a more
complete elevation study in Bergholz. He
said it could change the elevations by a foot
to 18 inches. The study would cost $6,000
and the Town Board agreed to pay for it if
Lee is unsucessful.

FIRE UPDATE

Officials say Sunday night's house fire at 6421
Riddle Road in Royalton appears to have started
in the basement near a wood burning stove. The
two residents were not home when the blaze
erupted. Forty-five year old John Shubbuck
said they left around 7:30 and found their dog
outside and smoke coming from the bedroom
window when they got back just after 10:30.
He called 9-1-1 to report the blaze.

IDENTIFY THEFT/THEFT OF SERVICES

A 43 year old Lockport woman was charged Monday
with identity theft and theft of services. Debbie Marshall
of 190 Erie Street allegedly used the name of a
deceased woman last year to open up an account with
NYSEG for service at 42 Van Buren. The company says
she ran up a balance of more than $1,300 thru March of
this year when she asked that the account be transferred
to 190 Erie. NYSEG says they got a letter in May from the
sister of the deceased woman and it prompted their
investigation. Police said Marshall asked her landlord
to change the name on their lease to Cheryl Marshall
so they could put the account in that name but he refused.

WORKING FAMILIES PARTY

A fiscal reform group repeated it's call yesterday
for Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to investigate
the questionable inner workings of the State's
Working Families Party. New Yorkers For Growth
said they were motivated by a series of investigative
reports done by Manhattan Media's "City Hall"
newspaper. They released a story Monday saying
the Working Families Party may be illegally using
non profit corporations to circumvent political
donation limits in order to give left wing candidates
an inappropriate advantage in Democratic primaries.
Cuomo was supported by the Working Families party
in the most recent election. New Yorkers For Growth
spokesman Bill O'Reilly said they were confident Cuomo
could put that aside and conduct a thorough and
impartial investigation.

STATE BUDGET

The Governor said Sunday the State is at the
point where others went off the cliff and he
plans to use his executive powers to shave
about $1.6- billion from this year's budget.
Paterson said he would re-estimate the cost
of some programs and take money from off
budget accounts. Members of the Assembly
abd Senate begin their fourth week of the
Special Session today. The Senate is said to
be dead-set against cuts to education in the
middle of the school year. Paterson said
Sunday the day of fiscal reckoning could be
just weeks away. He warned of a severe finacial
collapse if the State can't meet it's payroll
and obligations to school districts.

LUMBERJACKS WIN STATE TITLE

The North Tonawanda Lumberjacks won their
first State title Sunday at the Carrier Dome in
Syracuse. They beat New Rochelle 14-7 in the
class AA state final. Running back Joe Montesanti
hit Darrick Bloomfield with a 12 yard touchdown pass
midway through the fourth quarter to earn the win.
The Lumberjacks went 49 yards in six plays on their
first possession.

A-E-S SETTLEMENT NEAR

The Somerset Town Board, the Barker
School District, and the County Legislature
will have meetings tomorrow that could end
the payment-in-lieu-of-taxes dispute with AES.
Town Supervisor Richard Meyers told Greater
Niagara Newspapers last week they expect to
have a deal by December 1. HJe said it's
similiar to one being worked out with the school
district and the County. The Town and the
school district have special meetings set for
Tuesday and the Legislature also has a session.
Chairman Bill Ross said an agreement is not on
the agenda but work is progressing on a
settlement. The controversial pilot was o-k'd by
the IDA in 2006. They are appealing the latest
court decision overturning it to the State's highest
court but their decision may not be announced till
after the first of the year.

SCHUMER TELLS N-B-A TO DROP ADIDAS

Senator Chuck Schumer said Sunday he has asked
NBA Commissioner David Stern to terminate it's
contract with Adidas if they don't scrap plans to
ship their game day jersey production overseas.
The work is currently done by about a hundred
workers at American Classic Outfitters in Perry.
Adidas is planning to move production to Thailand.
Schumer said Adidas made an agreement with the
NBA and American Classic Outfitters to make their
jerseys in the U.S. and if they won't live up to their
committment, then the NBA should not be doing
business with them.

EQUIPMENT PURCHASES

Lawmakers in the Falls are slated to consider
several equipment purchases during tonight's
meeting. One of them is a $675,000 aerial
ladder truck for the Fire Department. It would
come from Empire Emergency Apparatus.
Another is a $319,000 asphalt paver from
Gateway Equipment Corporation. Human
Rights Commission Chairman Bill Bradberry
is slated to give his annual update during the
4pm work session.

MACHETE

A 50 year old Falls man told police he got into
a fight with another man early Sunday at a house
party on 18th Street near Willow. He said the man
left and came back with a machete and tried to
attack him. The victim said he tried to wrestle it
away and got punched in the face. Other party
goers took the weapon away from the man and
he left. About two hours later, a resident in the
600 block of 18th told police he saw the same
man slash one of the tires on his '99 GMC Jimmy
earlier in the evening.

CANAL TRAFFIC UP

The State's Canal System saw a five per cent increase
in traffic this year following last year's 22 per cent drop.
Officials say it's partly due to more than 300 canal related
recreational events held along the waterway ranging from
harbor festivals to free cruises. About 40 events were the
norm just a few years ago. Many other canal systems
around the country are struggling to keep traffic up.

HOUSE FIRE

Nobody was hurt Saturday night in a house fire
around 10:45 at 6421 Riddle Road in Royalton. First responders
from the Rapids Volunteer Fire company found the
14 by 70 foot single family home full of smoke but
everybody had gotten out before they got there.
The blaze was deemed under control and out 47
minutes into the incident. The cause is under
investigation, no damage amount was provided.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY

Another attempted break-in was reported Friday
at Austin's Pizzeria in Gasport. Matt Austin said
someone tried to pry open a side door between
11pm last Wednesday and 4pm Friday. Deputies
had been called to the State Street pizzeria a few
weeks ago when a similiar break-in was attempted.

U-F-O'S

The man considered the founding father of
UFO research will speak at NCCC Wednesday
night. Ted Phillips is the Director of the
Center for Physical Trace Evidence. He's
collected and analzyed over 3,000 UFO landing
and material evidence cases. He's expected to talk
about his current investigation into a site in the
Midwest called Marley Woods. UFO sightings,
strange light orbs, mystery animal sightings, and
animal mutiliations have been reported and are
now being documented. Phillips will speak at
7pm Wednesday in Room E-142. A $3 donation
will be taken at the door for Niagara Hospice.
