In today’s provincial arena you “Wynne” some and you surely lose some and Niagara-south lost a little bit extra recently.
It is great that the government is planning to recognize those Canadian youngsters who flew the planes in the Battle of Britain. A new bar will be add ...
Wayne Gates is new to the council game but he works hard, asks questions and you could say he puts his money where his mouth is. Again, how rare is th ...
Perhaps we should have paid a lot more attention in kindergarten when the ABCs were offered for our edification. Who knew we wouldn’t stand a chanc ...
People with true leadership capability are hard to find. Paul Fell was such a man and he donated considerable time to his community and to people needing just a gentle push upward.

Have you reached the age when aches and pains decorate your life and you feel just a little bit mortal?
