He successfully took bad policies and sold them with golden words. In a June speech in Flint, Mich., he warned against an economy where big, mean corporations take all the money and don’t care about the less fortunate.

Knowing Percy and the thought process behind his ideas to increase tourism in Niagara is a part of why Percy has personally traveled to India to promote Niagara and its attraction to the people of India and its Department of Tourism.

Goldilocks journeyed to the bears’ home, ate their porridge, sat in their chairs and slept in their beds. When she awoke, she saw the bears and decided to run away, never to return again.

In less than 200 years, we were remade from 18th century barren wildernesses with nomadic Indians to the most powerful, benevolent country in the world.

He may have saved my life. At the very least, he helped to prevent complications.

Wasko of Lewiston published in the Gazette’s Reader’s Views on June 4.

Mayor Soluri unites people to make Lewiston a better place.

The names of all the nurses and aides are way too numerous to mention. You all know who you are, but each and everyone of you will always remain in our thoughts and in our hearts each and everyday.

Or slumped in a chair in front of the computer? Or looking for other kids to play with, but there aren’t any around. Or eating more and exercising less, not being as healthy and active as they could be?

On May 28 at the Village of Lewiston town meeting, a Jet Boat manager explained that the boats are now more “neighbor friendly” because the loud megaphones were replaced with quieter, wireless personal speakers for onboard communication.

I got several slingers in my mailbox over several days before the election.

These buses are responsible for transporting our children to and from school each day, yet when their inspection came up, Coach Lines said the five buses scheduled “were not ready.” Not ready to be safety inspected! That alone should scare every parent out there!
