ARRESTS SHOCK WESTERN NEW YORK RACING COMMUNITY

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Western New York's harness racing community is still reeling from the news that a group of racers are accused of being involved in a drug-smuggling operation.

A federal grand jury has indicted five Buffalo-area residents with being part of one of the biggest methamphetamine operations in North America. Federal agents say the operation involved dozens of people from Manitoba and Ontario, Canada to California and Mexico.

In July, harness racer Louis Russo of Batavia was arrested after Customs inspectors at the U-S-Canada border at Niagara Falls found more than 400 pounds of ephedrine packed into bags hidden in his horse trailer.

Also arrested were four other people with connections to harness racing, including Hugh Stevens, a racehorse owner from Derby, and his wife Sandra, owner of a nightclub in Lackawanna.

All five deny the allegations.

Kosta's
I decided to visit Kosta's for 'unch for several reasons. First, at a party someone told me that it was better than Pano's and seeing I don't eat at Panols anymore I figured why not try it.

It was mega-delicious. I has pan seared scallops, but I'll save my review for the restaurant site. What I wanted to talk about here was the building itself. While, I by no means want to see panos tear down the atwater house, I think that they could have made a compromise by making the building more interesting.. Let's face it. Pano's is really ugly. I mean great, they have paneling, etc but the building itself is so unattractive. If and when he demolishes the Atwater house for the parking lot, he should rebuild the building too. In the curent plans I have seen it looks the same with just an extended patio. A patio ! a permanent structure. If Pano's ever leavees or goes out of business, there won't even be a real building space there just a giant removeable patio.

I think Kosta's did a really good job with their building. Hopefully Pano will consider something nicer.
