Salisbury Rick has been the dog control officer of North Tonawanda for several years and has done an incredible job of rescuing abused dogs and helping to reunite lost dogs with their grateful owners. Such a good job, in fact, that North Tonawanda residents rallied for the city to grant him more hours to assist even more animals.

A job like this is not for the faint of heart as sometimes you have to see things no one would ever want to. But still, Rick using very little resources is there in our community helping animals when they need him the most. That’s why we are asking for your support to enable Rick to give even more to abused, abandoned and lost dogs in NT.

 

 

Rescuing animals requires slip leads, collars, dog treats, toys, bedding, cages for the truck to keep the animals in and more. Rick could also use a reflective safety truck wrap when he’s out at night or in bad weather conditions so he is easily spotted.

Just recently Rick rescued an elderly dog and two cats who were abandoned in their home after receiving a tip from a concerned citizen. Rick’s positive reputation in the community is the reason why so many dogs are helped because people trust him to do the right thing. Now we need to do the right thing and support Rick with the supplies he needs to ensure every dog in North Tonawanda is taken care of.

Far Too Often, Promises Have Proved Empty; Niagara Falls Needs Progress And Strategic Planning

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina Promises are nice and they bring hope for the future. But unfortunately, most of the time, promises have fallen flat for the City of Niagara Falls, some succeeding but many turning out to be empty promises and major disappointments. At this point, Niagara Falls doesn’t need more failed promises. What the city needs is progress to build a better future and a plan to make it work. City leadership must bring it all together. While there are promises to build a better future on the table and being talked about, like Centennial Park and the Niagara Digital

Governor Issues Response To McMurray’s Letter on Slag Concerns

By tony Farina · August 4, 2026

By Tony Farina The radioactive slag bubbling up across Niagara County in recent weeks, triggering state and federal testing and some remedial work and family relocations, is the ongoing and seemingly never-ending legacy of the environmental desecration of the past 100-plus years by massive corporations dumping toxic waste that was the subject of Christen Civiletto’s book Thundering Waters. “What we have again is an environmental storm,” said attorney and former Grand Island Supervisor Nate McMurray, a candidate for election to the 45th District State Assembly seat now open because of the retirement of Angelo Morinello. McMurray will run for the
