The latest Securities and Exchange Commission filings by the Seneca Gaming Corporation are almost three years old. They contain details of a remarkably profitable set of operations—one in Niagara Falls, one just outside Allegany State Park, and one in Buffalo, which holds 457 slot machines and a snack bar in a little blue building next to the Perry Projects and the Malamute Bar just east of where the Buffalo Sabres one day may once again play a post-season game.

Restaurant owner Nick Pitillo has a reputation. Ask any one of the employees at Osteria 166, his new casual Italian eatery across from the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center (formerly Frankie Mohawk’s), and they’ll all tell you the same thing—he is one of the most genuinely warm, friendly people you’ll ever meet.

When Metropolitan Opera bass Valerian Ruminski announced that he was starting a new opera company based in Western New York in 2009, there were plenty local skeptics who thought “Good luck with that.” After all, putting on opera has always been an expensive proposition, with the history of the genre, both generally and even more specifically locally, being littered with the corpses of defunct opera companies.

It was high noon on July 10, 1813, and a spy was looking across the Niagara. It was British Lieutenant James Fitzgibbon. At that point in the war the Empire’s forces on the Niagara were in such dire straits that they didn’t have salt to pickle pork. Through Fitzgibbon’s glass, the lightly guarded American supply depot at Black Rock had to look like a buffet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “In order to swim one takes off all one’s clothes,” said 19th-century Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. “In order to aspire to the truth one must undress in a far more inward sense, divest oneself of all one’s inward clothes, of thoughts, conceptions, selfishness, etc., before one is sufficiently naked.”
