The owners of Super Clips on Military Road in Niagara Falls, displayed what it means to be a neighbor this week.

Samantha Bassett, co-owner of the hair salon, had become accustomed to homeless individuals wandering up to their storefront.

On this particular occasion, however, Samantha decided to do something a little different.

In a statement to Totally Buffalo, Samantha described her motivation for going above and beyond for a stranger:

“I just figured, you know, I think we should do something nice for him. I’ve seen him so many times, but I saw, I noticed, that his shoes had holes. His feet were literally hanging out. So, I figured we’d clean him up. We went and bought him socks, underwear, shirts, shorts and shoes. I think it made him feel human again.”

This is not the only instance of Samantha, and Super Clips generally, being neighborly.

As of last week, Super Clips has handed out over 7,000 free hair cut cards to all of the schools in Niagara Falls.

They were also out at the Air Show over the weekend handing out cards as well.

“Well you know,” said Samantha, “a lot of families just don’t have the money. It’s only $10 for a kids cut, but you know, if you have 3, 4 or 5 kids, it adds up so we thought we would help out.”

Take a trip to Super Clips, located at 8353 Niagara Falls Blvd., the next time you need a haircut!!

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
