Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI). Fifty years ago, the Love Canal disaster put the issue of toxic waste on the map. The tragedy galvanized a national movement and spurred Congress to pass “Superfund” legislation, which — at least in theory — requires polluters to clean up their toxic messes. Despite that progress, the problem never really went away. Here in Niagara Falls, New York, long-buried toxins are resurfacing. But so is the movement to rid our communities of these poisons forever. A new generation of activists, armed with cellphones and radiation detectors, is discovering the shocking extent of industrial pollution in this once-magnificent city. And they are demanding action. Love Canal was a half-mile-long canal into which the Hooker Chemical Corporation dumped leftover hazardous chemical compounds. Hooker covered the waste with dirt and then — incredibly —s old the land to the local school board for $1.

Nearby: Lewiston, NYIf you’ve ever had a desire to be an outdoors writer, photographer, YouTuber, etc., you ought to attend the AGLOW Conference (Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers). Kevin Paulsen, the executive director, and Karen Lutto Leatherwood, the president, talked me into attending last month. I guess all associations have their own flavor, or maybe I should say personality, due to the members and leaders. This year the conference was held in Lewiston, New York, which is where Niagara Falls is located. I had never been there. It was a beautiful area. The Oct. 11-15 conference kicked off Sunday night with the president’s reception. Katy went with me, which made it even more fun. We flew up Saturday night so we could hit church on Sunday morning and then check out Lewiston and have a relaxing day. I’ve been running and gunning lately, so it was nice to get away with my wife. Monday morning kicked off with a breakfast sponsored by Spypoint.

Nearby: Orchard Park, NYEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Buffalo Bills are off to their best start in 33 years, Josh Allen and the high-scoring offense are clicking, and they’re tied for the top record in the NFL. In a season during which many things have gone right so far, the Bills know better than to overlook a struggling AFC East rival when they face the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. “This is a division game on the road, it’s going to be as hard as it gets, right?” first-year coach Joe Brady said. “We showed that we can go on the road and win a hard game. We’ve got to go do it again. “And if we think otherwise, then I’m not doing a good enough job.” Coming off a 23-6 victory at Minnesota on Monday night, Buffalo is 7-1 — tops in the AFC and tied for the NFL lead with San Francisco. It’s the first time since 1993 the Bills have opened a season 7-1 or better.
