Jan 28, 2012 at 1:22 AM EST

NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Results from a special investigation into alleged mismanagement at the SPCA of Niagara have been released.

In part of her report, Carr writes, "It's clear that the NCSPCA is dysfunctional in many ways. Without standard operating procedures, without careful record...more keeping and record retrieval, without trust of one another, without a clear chain or command, with any strategies to improve, this organization will continue to disappoint and enrage the community,"

She continues, "there is an overwhelming culture of distrust at the shelter. Some staff distrust the Executive Director, the Executive Director distrusts many of the board members, many board members distrust the Executive Director and some staff and volunteers distrust some staff and staff distrusts some volunteers. Everyone seems to distrust someone associated with the SPCA. They gossip, pass on written complaints about each other to one another, try to get each other fired, go behind

NIAGARA FALLS, NY-- The Pentagon is eyeing up to $500 Billion in defense spending cuts in the next ten years, and that may include another round of base closings. Air Force Chief of Staff Norton Schwartz told reporters Friday that there will be base closings if Congress approves the Base...more Realignment and Closing Commission process for 2013.  

That is why the staffers and supporters of the Niagara Falls Air base are closely following these new developments.

They are already working out a strategy to make sure the base does not end up on the closing list again.  Merrell Lane of the Niagara Military Affairs Council (NIMAC) says he intends to carefully review through the Pentagon's report and look for any potential impact on one of the area's largest employers with 3,500 on the payroll.

NIMAC has seen BRAC issues before in 1995, and when the Niagara Falls Airbase was on the closing list in 2005, but with very strong lobbying effort and public support, the

GRAND ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Grand Island family had to be rushed to the hospital for symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Grand Island rescue crews received a call just after 2:30am Friday to a home on River Oaks Drive.

When officials arrived, they say a man came to the door...more who was plainly ill and confused.

Surya and Chandana Yadavilli, 36 and 29, respectively, and their 13-month-old baby were taken out of the home.

Officials say CO levels measured at 300 parts per million, which is considered high.

The family was treated by medics at the scene and then transported to Mt. St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston.

A spokesperson for the Grand Island fire department told 2 On Your Side the husband had called a friend saying he had a headache; the friend called 911.

Grand Island Fire Chief Kevin Koch points out that as of February, 2010, Amanda's Law mandates carbon monoxide detectors in all homes in New York State. Koch says
