Tolbert Announces Bid for Buffalo Mayor as Race Heats Up

BUFFALO, N.Y. -  Election season in the City of Buffalo has officially begun after a prominent Buffalo figure, who wants to be the city's next mayor, launched his campaign Sunday.

Introduced by his mother to a standing ovation, 65-year-old Democrat Bernie Tolbert said he's running for Buffalo Mayor and he's "in it to win it."

The man who once ran Buffalo's FBI Office said he intends to clean up the city schools.

"Forty-four of Buffalo's 57 public schools have been designated as failing," Tolbert said "As your mayor, I will work with all stakeholders to put an end to the shame of our public schools."

Interestingly, Tolbert held his campaign kickoff at the same downtown family center where incumbent Mayor Byron Brown launched his campaign in late March in front of a much bigger crowd.

Local Doctors Produce Major Feature Film

BUFFALO, NY - Dr. Andrew Cappuccino is best known for saving the life of Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett during a game in 2007, but now he and his wife are adding "filmmaker" to their already impressive resumes. A feature film they produced opened in Buffalo today.

The movie, Arthur Newman, has already opened in major cities, but Friday it started its run locally. Orthopedic surgeon Andrew Cappuccino and his wife Helen, a Roswell Park surgical oncologist, are executive producers

"It's always been a great love of ours, even from the time we couldn't afford to rub two nickels together, we saw films together. It's our pastime," said Dr. Andrew Cappuccino.

While at a speaking engagement with Everett, the Cappuccinos met people from the film industry who encouraged them to break into the business. Fast forward several years and now they are walking the red carpet.

Migration Takes Flight at Tifft Nature Preserve

Migration Takes Flight at Tifft Nature Preserve

You take flight. Only feathers, muscle, and air power your movement through the sky. The journey is long and dangerous but your survival, and the survival of your kind, depends on it.  Green, brown, and a vastness of blue give way to concrete human habitats absent of food, water, or shelter. After thousands of miles of evading predation, formidable weather and countless other hazards, you arrive. Your journey has ended this Spring only to begin again in the Fall. This is the way of your species. This is bird migration.
