Good morning, Buffalo.

Yesterday morning at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park, the 10th annual New York State Run for the Fallen started as runners began a 500-mile journey across the state.

Participants will cover 10-15 mile shifts as they honor local heroes like Trooper Jennifer Czarnecki and Master Sergeant Christopher Hackett with remembrance flags.

Buffalo Diocese will send invoices next week asking parishes and Catholic Charities to contribute to a $150 million abuse settlement for over 800 sexual abuse survivors.

A local parishioner said many parishes could end up paying more than 50% of their reserve funds and weekly collections to cover the settlement for missteps by church leadership.

Lee Enterprises said 40,000 customers had their names and Social Security numbers exposed by a Russian cyberattack in February, and the company spent $2 million to restore operations and notify those affected.

A local security expert warned the breach may be larger than reported — the attack also led to a temporary cut in the newspaper’s sections here in Buffalo.

State law bans internet-enabled devices in schools from bell to bell and requires each district to post a new phone policy by August 1 (exceptions are allowed for emergencies and health care).

Some officials say their earlier policies that allowed phones will need to be scrapped, and they worry about the cost of enforcement.

State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's audit criticizes the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Services for its slow rollout of next-gen 911, which risks public safety in disasters.

The audit shows that DHSES missed its December deadline and still has not released the strategic plan needed to ensure emergency calls are redirected smoothly—raising concerns about future response capabilities.

Buffalo Yacht Club is offering a free 30-day membership trial this summer so locals can experience its historic club at Porter Avenue and its Point Abino Station on the Canadian side of Lake Erie — the trial runs from June through August and provides access to pools, boat slips, dining, and a unique Lower Deck Bar without long-term commitment.

The Buffalo Bills say personal seat license sales for the new stadium are picking up fast and may sell out by early next year if the current pace continues (over 25,000 have been sold so far and nearly 9,000 are expected this quarter).
