CHEERS & JEERS: Sept. 11's best and worst
Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
CHEERS
• SEPT. 11 CEREMONY: Falls Fire Chief William MacKay hasn’t forgotten. The Falls Fire Department will mark the eighth anniversary of the attack on America with a ceremony being held this morning. All on-duty members will participate in this remembrance, as will off-duty firefighters and members of the public. The ceremony begins at 9:50 a.m. at all fire stations in the city.
• BEAUTIFUL LADIES: Congratulations to Linda Gibbons and Claudia Folsom who were honored by the Niagara Beautification Commission this week for their hard work in keeping the city clean. Gibbons, vice chair of the Beautification Commission, was awarded the Chairperson’s Award for her work and dedication.
“She is dedicated to the creation of new parks, organized our garden tour,” commission Chair Marge Gillies said. “She took it upon herself to get crews of volunteers to weed the medians along John B. Daly Boulevard.
That was a humongous effort.” Folsom, president of Habitat for Humanity, was presented with the Josi Fera Award. “Claudia wrote a grant through Habitat for Humanity and National Grid to plant 70 trees in Gil Creek Park,” Gillies said.
“She was also instrumental in the fence painting project along Whirlpool Street and she has just been our right arm with that.” It’s nice to see that these wonderful women’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.
• HARRIS AND THE JAZZ: While he may not have been drafted into the NBA back in June, a professional basketball career is still in the cards for the Falls’ Paul Harris.
He’s been invited to compete for a roster spot at the Utah Jazz training camp later this month, according to former coach Sal Constantino. It was uncertain this week whether any other NBA teams are interested in bringing him to training camp. It’s good news for the former Syracuse player. Hopefully will see a battle of former Falls stars when the Jazz take on Jonny Flynn and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
• LABOR DAY BUSINESS: Was it because the holiday was so late this year? Maybe, but whatever the reason, visitor numbers were up this past weekend at Niagara Falls State Park and other local attractions. Local hoteliers also reported brisk business this past holiday season — and if you were anywhere near the border bridges you saw the traffic. We’ll take it as an encouraging sign of improvement downtown.
