EXTREME MAKEOVER PARTY
About 2200 people were at Shea's last night for a
party celebrating the airing of the edition of ABC Tv's
"Extreme Makeover" that was shot in Buffalo in
November. Delores Powell said she was sure the
true impact of the initiative will stretch far beyond
the good fortune it showered on her family of four.
She said it would change the way people look at
the City. The work on her home spread while ABC
was filming and about 70 homes saw some
improvements.

MOVING FIRE DEPARTMENT DISPATCH
The Lockport Fire Board pans to talk about
moving the City's fire dispatch at their next
session on Thursday, February 4. Police Chief
Larry Eggert urged the Common Council last
week to turn the duty over to his department.
He said they could do it for nothing. The Sheriff's
department said pretty much the same thing
Friday. The issue has been on hold for a couple
of years after the city's professional firefighters
union obtained an injunction preventing any
change. The Union agreed to the change in their
new contract provided the switch is made within
the next six months. The City Council will make
the final decision.

COUNCIL TO VOTE ON ENDING LAWSUIT
The Niagara Falls City Council is expected to
o-k a $225,000 settlement tonight to end a
