From the Niagara Falls Review:

While he normally focuses on Niagara Falls, city historian and author Sherman Zavitz plunged into deeper waters this time around for his sixth book.

“The Niagara River - The Ontario Shore” will be released today and features a photographic history of the river from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Filled with more than 170 photographs and engravings, the book traces the history of the river from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

“It’s a pretty good representation on how things used to be. It shows different aspects of life along the river,” Zavitz said.

From the Niagara Falls Review:

About 150 clients of Project Share will have a special holiday treat Tuesday, when they are invited to a show at the Greg Frewin Theatre. “I have gone through my share of challenges getting this theatre started and I see families going through their own challenges in their lives. It is the generosity that I experienced that made the difference in my life, and I can only hope that this evening will be one of those moments for these families,” Frewin said.
