          The issue is openness, and NPC should remember that

Monday night council passed a resolution urging the Ontario government to force the NPC to adhere to the principles of openness, transparency and accountability. Sounds reasonable enough to us. The NPC is an…

            Horses in Training

            I’m not sure what these horses were training for, but last Friday they were walking down Victoria Avenue. The horses didn’t have anything over them saying where they were from. The men riding the horses had shirts on that said “Horses in Training”. Their helmets had a shield/logo of some kind, but I couldn’t make…

                    Maid of the Mist lease deal questioned

                    From the Buffalo News: Boats have chugged through the waters below the American and Horseshoe falls as far back as 1846, but unusual lease arrangements as old as the Maid of the Mist Steamboat Co. have gone largely unnoticed — until now. Today’s Maid of the Mist Corp. holds one of only two 40-year leases…

                      Pushing for a scenic route to the Falls

                      From the Niagara Falls Review: Chester Kowalik doesn’t mind the cars that rumble past his roadside fruit market on Victoria Avenue in Vineland. For him, the more traffic, the better. That was his motivation two years ago for taking pencil to paper and designing a scenic route from Vineland to Niagara Falls that cataract-loving tourists…
