GLYNN: First you’ll need to think of a title
You should write a book!
I’m sure someone has mentioned that over the years.
And, of course, it’s always flattering, a kind of an ego inflater that could leave you with a swelled head for about 10 seconds.
Until you start thinking what to put in it.
For instance, what in the world would I write about?
Maybe “How Urban Renewal Revived the Cataract City.” That would cure insomnia, right?
Or how about the two most embarrassing errors this newspaper made during the past 40 years. (Within seconds, someone would be on the phone with the third.)
I thought that my memoir could be called “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” but that sounded too much like the fourth volume of “Plans to Change Falls Street,” first published in the early 1960s.
So, instead, here’s a glance at some titles for those movers and shakers who might wish to share their experiences.
Who knows? These could prove best sellers, at least on the homefront.
And, as a bonus, maybe the always affable Jeff Morrow, who owns The Book Corner, will host an autograph party for the authors.
“How to Cope on a Fixed Income,” by Carmen Granto, retired Niagara Falls schools superintendent. Solid advice to help you through the lean years.
“Preparing for a Job Interview,” by Cynthia Bianco, the new superintendent of the Niagara Falls School District, with a forward by Don J. King.
“No Heavy Lifting,” by state Sen. George D, Maziarz, R- Newfane, explains in detail how a lawmaker spends a typical day on Capitol Hill.
“The Inside Story of SPUR (Society for the Prevention of Urban Renewal),” by Roger Trevino, vice president of NFR.
“A Flaming Liberal,” by John Restaino, former talk show host on WJJL. He recently left the station, reportedly upset that President Obama refused
to be on his show.
“The Scenic Route to the Falls,” by Bob Baxter. The author takes the reader for a ride from Pekin through rural Niagara County to Gasport, Middleport, Terry’s Corners, Johnson Creek and Model City, ending with a breathtaking view of the historic North End in Niagara Falls.
“A Golden Parachute: Leave With a Good Feeling,” by Thomas Garlock, former general manager of the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission.
“Dress Up Your Store Front,” by Dr. Mark DelMonte, with a forward by Mary Jo Zacher. DelMonte provides helpful advice on storing urns for the winter.
“We Always Listen If Taxpayers Scream Enough,” by Richard M. Kessel, president and chief executive officer of the New York Power Authority.
“Dude: Toss It My Way,” by Terrell (T.O.) Owens, newly acquired wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.
“Bring Your Own Tent,” by Robert Emerson, executive director of Old Fort Niagara, host to 2,500 re-enactors for the 250th anniversary of the historic siege at the landmark site in Youngstown. (The event runs today from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
