WHITE-WALKER: Fame or fabric?

Do you ever wonder why most people never find their real niche in life? Sure wish I could tell you, but I really don’t know. ....more>>

GUEST VIEW: Niagara’s own Berlin Wall
May marks the 35th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s historic “Ich bin ein Berliner” speech delivered in the shadows of the Berlin Wall at the height of the Cold War.
GUEST VIEW: Time for a change in Lew-Port
We need to change the Lewiston-Porter School Board. The May 20 election would be a great time to start. Voting for Ed Waller and Bob Weller would be great change for Lewiston-Porter.
OUR VIEW: Scrap meters: All of them
LUCINSKI: Avoid battle over Army Center
HAMILTON: Mother’s Day carnations
If all dictionaries were pictures-only with no definitions at all, then her picture would be in all of them next to the word Grandma.
CHEERS & JEERS: May 9's best and worst
For a while there late last week we were getting visions of mayors past as a rift between the City of Niagara Falls and the Niagara County SPCA widened into a stoppage of service.
GUEST VIEW: Recognizing the young and uninsured
No child in our nation should go without health insurance. Yet, nationwide there are 9 million uninsured children. In New York state, 415,000 children do not have health insurance and in Niagara County alone 4,000 children are uninsured.
LETTERS: Questions about the new city administrator
First let me say that I’ve been saying for years that if you want good people in City Hall, you have to pay them a good salary, but there is something very wrong with what’s going on now. If it’s not illegal, it sure looks unethical.
GLYNN: Veteran trainer views Derby tragedy
Several days after the most coveted event in thoroughbred racing, the Kentucky Derby, countless people are still talking about Eight Belles, the horse that finished second.
