Last Friday’s peace march in downtown Buffalo ended in tears for activist Nate Buckley, courtesy of a dose of pepper spray administered directly into his eyes. Bruises, too, courtesy of the officer’s nightstick.

We’ve been told that Mayor Byron Brown’s administration recently has been trying to negotiate a settlement with NRP Development, the Cleveland-based development firm that claims the mayor spiked a deal to build 50 single-family, rent-to-own, low-to-moderate-income houses on the city’s East Side because the company would not give a minority hiring consulting contract to the Reverend Richard Stenhouse, an ally of the mayor.

Perhaps you read in the daily paper or saw on the TV news a story about 4.6 tons of dead fish being hauled out of Hoyt Lake last month. The fish kill is not the result of poison but rather a lack of oxygen in the water. Because Scajaquada Creek no longer flows through it, Hoyt Lake is like an aquarium whose oxygenating water pump is broken: still and overpopulated with algae that suck up the oxygen the fish need to live.
