From the Niagara Falls Review:
True to its word, Cirque Niagara has pitched its tent for a second summer in Niagara Falls.
When this high-flying Russian circus was announced last year, naysayers wondered if it would happen. When it opened, there were doubts it would survive. When it wrapped up in October, there were rumours it wouldn’t be back.
From the start, it seems, the show has been trying to convince cynics it’s the real deal. Maybe now they’ll believe.
“It’s interesting … a lot of people said to us, ‘Oh, we’re glad to see you made it,’” says Jana Ray, Cirque Niagara’s director of sales and marketing. “They didn’t have a whole lot of confidence in the show and what was happening here.
“We’re glad to have proven them wrong. We’re still here, and we’re a viable commodity.”
From the Niagara Falls Review:
It was one of those decisions that really didn’t require a lot of thought. Bob Gale found the book online and knew he had to have it.
“I really like the history of Niagara Falls and I’m always searching for all kinds of things,” he said.
A few weeks ago, Gale purchased a piece of Niagara Falls history: A first edition, first issue English copy of “A New Discovery of a Vast Country in America,” containing the first published sketch of the falls and the first eyewitness account.
Gale said he often searches online auction houses for interesting and unique items to add to his collection of artifacts. When he saw the book being offered by a heritage book shop in California, he jumped at the chance to own it.
“I don’t think it would be as valuable to someone in California as it is to us here,” he said.
The 355-page book was published in 1698 and chronicles the voyage of Father Louis Hennepin, a French missionary and adventurer who explored the Great Lakes region of Canada and the United States, the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico in the 1670s. It contains sketches and pullout maps that accompany the text.
