HAMILTON: I am afraid for what America’s become

When I was 17, I traipsed off, joined the Navy and went off to fight in Vietnam. My dad cried as he sighed the papers that permitted me to go. I went because I had more testosterone than brains. Now I hope that I have gotten smarter because the equation has flip-flopped and my sons are of the age, brightness and fitness to serve in the military. I have thought about it and have already nearly teared about those prospects.....more>>

  • BRADBERRY: Practice what you preach
    It was just another one of those conversations, but it was deep. It took us back, way back, all the way back to the beginning where it all started for us, MacKenna Avenue on the city’s southeast side.
  •  CONFER: The cost of cap and trade: Part 1
    Sitting near the top of the Left’s ambitious agenda is the tempering of alleged man-made global warming. The Democrat-controlled Congress and Obama administration hope to achieve this goal through a variety of tactics which include green energy incentives, stricter environmental regulations and the absolutely ludicrous concept of cap and trade.
  • HIGGS: On the road with the ZOOM team
    Last week we had a little background on neighborhood conditions and changes that are under way to educate the residents that the city would “no longer take a passive approach to these problems.”
  • GUEST VIEW: A true Niagara Falls jewel
    I read with great interest a recent guest view column in this newspaper by Stephanie Cowart, executive director of the Niagara Falls Housing Authority.
  • ENDORSEMENTS: Our picks for the City Council
    If anything, listening to the five candidates for the three open Niagara Falls City Council seats discuss the current state of Niagara Falls, you can’t help but feel things are finally starting to look up around here.
  •  HAMILTON: Halloween: A brutha with a job
    On Halloween, some 20 years ago, after leaving the Buffalo Avenue DuPont plant and still dressed in my work clothes, I stopped at what was then the Uni-Mart store on Hyde Park Boulevard and Lafayette Avenue. Costumed kids were trick-or-treating there. When it was my turn at the counter, just for fun, I too said “Trick-or-treat.”
  • BRADBERRY: Where shopping Is a pleasure?
    I knew I was in trouble as soon as I stepped up on the chair to take the sheer summer curtains down, so without even trying to do what I knew would be impossible, I called for help.
  • GUEST VIEW: A job well done for the community
    October is “National Disability Employment Awareness Month” and is the ideal time to recognize and celebrate the more than 150 area businesses that partner with Opportunities Unlimited of Niagara to provide gainful employment for individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.
  • HAMILTON: A lesson provided by city settlements
    If I am wrong, then I like to be the first one to admit it. Usually, I don’t have that luxury, because by the time that I discover that I was wrong, sometimes hundreds of other people have already whispered it behind my back.
