For the first time in years, I have the March Break off as a vacation week, so I won’t be posting much this week. I’m sure a few things will get posted, but generally I’ll be away from the computer and I’ll be busy playing with the kids. Have fun without me!

From the Niagara Falls Review:
Fay Booker, a Burlington business consultant who specializes in how corporations govern themselves, is expected to become the next chairwoman of the Niagara Parks Commission at a time the provincial agency is under scrutiny for the way it operates.
Tour ism Minister Michael Chan’s office announced in a 5 p.m., news release the Ontario Liberal government nominated Booker to lead the $80-million-a-year agency responsible for preserving the area around the Horseshoe Falls and running its attractions. Chan was not available to comment, his office staff said.
Booker, a chartered accountant, will fill the vacancy created by the abrupt December resignation of Jim Williams, who quit over a dispute with then-minister of tourism Monique Smith about how to handle an ongoing controversy surrounding its lease with the Maid of the Mist boat tour company.

Galaxy Golf is the large glow-in-the-dark mini-putt on Clifton Hill. It’s been open for a few years now, and during those three years, nothing much new has been done/added. Over the last month or two several small, but nice, changes have been made. The most obvious is the repainting of the 18th hole (what you see in the lobby). The yellow/blue/green seems to pop out a lot more (see the pictures below). There has also been some things repainted on the main part of the course, and some nice light effects put in. There are 4 or 5 new light projectors that provide some water effects as well as general light movement. Again, nothing earth-shattering, but it does make the place feel a little newer/better.

As was mentioned here, the former Capri Restaurant is undergoing renovations and will open as a place called Pizza Deli. The only way we know this right now is from a notice in Wednesday’s Niagara Falls Review about a Liquor License Application. You can see the notice below (taken with my cell phone camera). It’s a bit blurry, but you get the idea.
