Fewer U.S. visitors blamed for Parks loss
COREY LAROCQUE
Wednesday, February 28, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – A dip in revenue – partly due to fewer American travellers – and a surge in utility costs are responsible for a half-million-dollar loss at the Niagara Parks Commission last year, officials say.
The commission will report an “accounting loss” for its last fiscal year when it files its annual report to the government. Staff are working on the report for the 2005-2006 fiscal year, which covers the 2006 summer tourism season.
Revenue dropped about one per cent while expenses increased by about 5.5 per cent, general manager John Kernahan told The Review.
Since 1999, there has been a steady decline in the number of American tourists, chairman Jim Williams said. Spending by American tourists accounts for about 60 per cent of parks commission revenues, he added.
Retaining that part of their market is going to be an even bigger challenge with the American government’s passport requirement set to take effect in June 2009.
“For most Americans having a family of three or four, it’s about a $360 outlay in cash to obtain their passports,” Williams said.
That’s why commission officials want to create a discount program to reduce the cost of attractions, meals and accommodation for American families to help offset the cost they would incur by acquiring passports.
“We can offer more than enough discounts for accommodations, attractions, food and beverage, just to get them over here,” Williams said.
He outlined that plan last week at a chamber of commerce function. They’ll work with other tourism operators to get it in place for this summer.
Kernahan said he couldn’t discuss last year’s financial results in detail until they’ve been reported through the official government channels. But applying the percentages he cited to the previous year’s figures would put 2006 revenue at about $78 million and expenses at $72.2 million.
For 2005, the commission reported revenue of $79.2 million and expenses of $68.4 million. In 2005, the commission reported $7 million in depreciation, an amount that represents on paper the decrease in the value of equipment the commission owns. After depreciation, there was a $3-million profit in 2005.
But a similar depreciation expense in 2006 will push the parks commission into the red.
“It’s an accounting loss, not a cash loss. That’s the important part. We have to continue to make that money back,” said Williams.
Last year’s financial situation was not as dire as in the 2003 year. For its fiscal year, that year the commission posted a $7.6-million loss. It took out a $5-million loan to cover it. It’s still on the books and the payments are included in the annual operating budget. It was the first time the parks commission lost money since the Second World War years.
“This isn’t of that magnitude or that seriousness,” Williams said.
Increases in natural gas and gasoline costs drove the commission’s expenses up, Kernahan said.
“Everything just went through the roof. It had a big impact on us, just as it would on any homeowner,” Kernahan said.
The commission’s fiscal year ends in October. Parks commission staff are preparing their formal report now to send to the provincial government in the spring.
There is sometimes a significant delay between the filing of a report and its publication. The parks commission’s annual report for 2004-05 has not yet been published by the government.

Whatever happened to Aaron Lichtman?
COREY LAROCQUE
Wednesday, February 28, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – City officials need to know “sooner rather than later” what to do about the Historic Niagara downtown revitalization project, says Coun. Vince Kerrio.
“I want to get on top of it. I want to know where we are with Mr. Lichtman, at this point,” said Kerrio.
Aaron Lichtman, the New York businessman who began promoting the Historic Niagara project more than a year ago, has kept a low profile since the municipal election in November. He could not be reached this week to talk about Historic Niagara’s progress and has not returned phone calls from The Review since December.
A question-and-answer session Lichtman held at the public library in late November was the last time Kerrio said he had heard from him.
Lichtman said he represents investors willing to put $170 million into downtown Niagara Falls to create a retail shopping district. The plan would require an estimated $36 million in public money to be spent sprucing up public spaces around Queen Street.
It was a big issue during the campaign leading up to November’s municipal elections.
But the election signalled a shift in city council’s support for Historic Niagara. Three councillors who had backed the idea were replaced with three who publicly stated they weren’t keen on increasing the city’s debt.
“We shouldn’t let it go on the back burner because of a council change,” Kerrio said.
One reason for Lichtman’s low profile could be changes within Historic Niagara, Coun. Jim Diodati speculated.
“I’ve heard through the grapevine, there might be some changes to the group. They’re still aggressively following their plan of following our (Community Improvement Plan),” Diodati said. “They’re just going to tweak things.”
Lichtman has said Historic Niagara has purchased about 60 downtown properties worth about $20 million.
“They’ve got a huge, vested interest in Niagara Falls. Their objective is to make that work for them,” Diodati said.
Regardless of Historic Niagara’s status, councillors want to see something happen downtown. If not Lichtman’s project, then something else, Kerrio said.
But Diodati, one of Historic Niagara’s supporters who was re-elected, said there aren’t a lot of other revitalization plans in the works.
“You’ve got a bird in the hand. You don’t throw that away,” Diodati said.
The sooner city officials get their hands on a report about the viability of the project, the sooner council can decide what to do, both Kerrio and Diodati said.
They’re eager to see the results of the independent business plan and market study city hall commissioned last year. The city hired a consultant to prepare a market study and business plan to evaluate how successful a retail district would be and to look at what benefits would result from spending public money to help make it happen.
The city commissioned its own studies after Lichtman said he would not share results of his studies with city officials.
Some councillors were upset Lichtman wouldn’t provide his research to them, but Diodati said an independent study is better. Lichtman’s research would look at things from his point of view, not from taxpayers’, Diodati said.
During last fall’s election campaign, Mayor Ted Salci said the reports would be completed early in 2007. But last week, the city’s chief administrative officer said progress on the study has been “slower than expected.”
“We expect that it will be finished and to council by the end of March,” John MacDonald said.

Premier sees progress on passport law
COREY LAROCQUE
Wednesday, February 28, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – Premier Dalton McGuinty says he and two other Canadian premiers “moved the yardstick forward” this week in their bid to convince Washington to accept high-security drivers’ licences to enter the U.S., instead of passports.
“We know the Americans are going to do something. We’re going to have to do something with them. This seems to be the most sensible way to go about it,” McGuinty told The Review Tuesday.
The Ontario premier, Manitoba’s Gary Doer and New Brunswick’s Shawn Graham have been in the American capital since Monday, holding meetings with governors of 20 states and members of Congress.
They’re trying to convince American lawmakers to postpone the implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and to consider alternative documents to a passport.
“The reason we’re promoting the driver’s licence as an alternative document is it’s family friendly.
“It’s in your wallet already,” McGuinty said in a telephone interview en route from Washington to Toronto.
McGuinty said he was “pleasantly surprised at the depth of understanding and genuine interest in the issue” in Washington.
“We heightened the level of awareness and created more momentum for being thoughtful, for getting this right,” McGuinty said.
He said he was encouraged by a Senate bill sponsored by Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman to delay implementation of the passport requirement and to consider alternate documentation. There’s a similar bill in the House of Representatives spearheaded by Rep. Louise Slaughter, a western New York legislator considered one of the Ontario tourism industry’s strongest allies on the issue.
Under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, anyone entering the United States at a land crossing will be required to show a passport as of June 2009. Canadian business and political leaders have said it will stall traffic at the border and hurt trade and tourism between the two countries.
Niagara Parks Commission general manager John Kernahan said tourism and trade representatives need to support McGuinty’s push in Washington.
A decline in American visitation is one of the challenges the parks commission, one of Niagara’s biggest tourism operators, has faced year after year.
“Americans are confused about the documentation that’s required at the border. Americans don’t carry passports … Canadians don’t carry passports the way Europeans do,” Kernahan said in an interview this week.
In the U.S., the passport initiative is federal jurisdiction, but state governors are starting to see the issue in their own “enlightened self-interest,” McGuinty said. “This is about jobs. This is about the economy.”
Ontario is preparing to overhaul its blue and white drivers’ licences by the end of this year anyway. Adding encrypted citizenship information, hologram technology and making them bank-note quality – like a passport – are some of the new security features Ontario is willing to add to satisfy American concerns, McGuinty said.

Danny Glover acted within his rights: Lawyer
Wednesday, February 28, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – “Dreamgirls” star Danny Glover was exercising his constitutionally protected freedom of expression when he protested in the lobby of a Niagara Falls hotel.
That’s the argument his lawyers are making in a notice of constitutional question filed in provincial offences court Tuesday. The notice says Glover and his co-defendants, who are charged with trespassing, were engaging in an activity protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
“The defendants behaved peacefully and were present on property to which the public normally has access,” the notice said.
Glover, a vocal labour activist, was slapped with the trespassing charge at the Sheraton on the Falls during a union protest Sept. 16. The protest was organized by members of Unite Here Canada Local 2347.
Also charged in the Sept. 16 protest were Ontario Federation of Labour President Wayne Samuelson and Alex Dagg, national co-director of Unite Here Canada.
Lawyers will argue the constitutional question in June. A tentative trial date was set for June 27 to 29, to be confirmed in court next week.
A lawyer for Glover said the actor will show up for the trial.

Museum faces program cuts
RAY SPITERI
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 – 12:00
Local News – Council’s desire to cease using bingo revenue for museum services could lead to a number of long-standing programs being cut, says Jane Davies, the town’s museum curator.
For the museum and cultural heritage committee to operate as usual this year, the board will need $27,000 in funding.
The problem is the committee is looking at a reduction of $20,000 from bingo revenue.
Although staff is proposing $17,000 in its museum and heritage services budget for 2007 to offset the shortfall, an additional $10,000 will be needed to maintain all of the museum’s programs, as well as its preparatory requirements for Fort Erie’s 150th anniversary celebrations scheduled to take place throughout the year.
“There is a $20,000 reduction in bingo revenue and that has essentially been offset by $10,000 from the general levy, plus about $7,000 from the general levy for the 150th anniversary celebrations,” said Rino Mostacci, the town’s director of community and development services, during budget deliberations recently at town hall.
“There is, however, still a shortfall there. So, what (committee) would need to operate status quo is another $10,000.”
Davies said the committee asked for the anniversary celebration charges to be considered as a separate item – as a “one-time event.” “But it has been rolled into this budget,” she said.
“Therefore, if this proposal moves forward, the museum services budget would need to be cut significantly.”
Davies said if the anniversary is charged to museum services, several programs would need to be eliminated, which could include copying of the community’s historic photographs, the railroad anniversary exhibit, Sunday genealogy programs, repair of existing exhibits, 150th anniversary exhibit, 150th Fort Erie Trivia night, purchase reference material, as well as copying and filing of historic articles.
“The Railroad Museum would also be closed every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday throughout the summer, which would have some reduction as well in admission and gift shop revenue.”
Davies said the budget presented by staff is not the budget the museum committee has submitted to council.
“Whatever is decided (by council) will have to go back to (the committee) to decide exactly how the cuts would be determined,” she said.
“Specific cuts to programs and services would be determined by the museum. (The committee) may decide to cut the anniversary in order to keep some of the programs going or they may decide to cut additional programs. What you as council need to consider is how much money you are going to give them to work with.”
Coun. Richard Shular said he was under the impression the funding for this year’s anniversary celebrations would not “negatively impact the museum’s budget.”
“It was my understanding when we debated this at council recently that the anniversary funding would be extrapolated off to the side,” he said.
“Some of the things Jane has outlined are big contributing factors of what we do in the realm of the museum and to set those aside for a year – I don’t think that’s worthy predicated on the fact that we are in an anniversary year. The fact that we have an anniversary shouldn’t negatively impact this service.”
Davies said the Museum and Cultural Heritage Committee proposed a 2007 budget for museum services based on a “zero per cent increase” for programs and supplies.
“Increases in the overall budget were attributed to expenses beyond their control, such as utilities and wages, and a loss of $20,000 in bingo revenue,” she said.

Subliminal slots’ yanked
JOHN LAW
Tuesday, February 27, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – Eighty-seven video slot machines, including several in Niagara, have been pulled from gaming floors after a CBC news report claimed subliminal messages were being flashed at players.
Machines at Casino Niagara, the Niagara Fallsview Casino and the Fort Erie Slots were removed Friday to allow technicians with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) to take a closer look.
The report has “piqued our interest,” and effective immediately slot manufacturers must verify their machines do not contain subliminal imaging, said Ab Campion, spokesman for the AGCO.
“We will do random testing for this,” he said, adding a company can be fined up to $500,000 for violations.
The slots under scrutiny are Most Wanted, Sergeant Fritter and Billionaires, all produced by the Las Vegas-based company Konami.
After a CBC news crew sneaked a video camera into an Ontario casino, footage from a Most Wanted slot machine was viewed in slow motion. It revealed a winning jackpot symbol flashed for a fraction of a second as the game played. In the video, five winning icons in a row are clearly seen while the icons are in motion.
The image can only be seen when the footage is slowed down, but that’s long enough for the subconscious mind to pick up on it, said Roger Horbay, a technical adviser for Canada’s Gambling Watch Network.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” he said. “Every problem gambler I’ve treated has said, ‘I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about these machines that mess up my head.’
“Even after they stopped playing, they still can’t get the image of the reels out of their heads.”
Horbay believes briefly flashing a jackpot symbol prompts people to continue playing, but Canadian Gaming News publisher Ivan Sack isn’t convinced.
“The average person is sitting (at the slot machine) half asleep,” he said. “I don’t think something at two one-hundredths of a second will have much of an effect.”
But Sack finds it curious the images weren’t detected by the AGCO before the machines were installed.
“I thought, with video slots in particular, they did tests for this sort of thing.”
Six Most Wanted machines have been temporarily removed from the Niagara Fallsview Casino gaming floor.
As well, five at Casino Niagara and two at the Fort Erie Slots were removed.
Konami has assured the AGCO it was a “coding error” in the machines’ software, and will be corrected.
“A coding error has nothing to do with the final outcome of the game,” insisted Campion, who added there have been no complaints from players over the machines.
Still, experts will be brought in “to see what we should be looking for, and what we should be testing.”
“We’re saying to the manufacturers: Don’t give us machines that have any subliminal messaging in them, period.”
Horbay is worried how much damage has been done already to unsuspecting gamers.
“I’m sure (the images) were put in there for a reason,” he said. “I think that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
“They need to start looking at the structural characteristics of these machines.”

Couple braved peril in 1899 ice bridge drama
Zavitz, Sherman
Saturday, February 24, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – Sunday, Jan. 22, 1899, was a day of high drama on the Niagara River. Several days before, a large ice bridge had formed just below the falls and many people, as was the habit at the time, spent Sunday afternoon walking on it.
Two such individuals were Charles Misner of Buffalo and his friend, Bessie Hall from Johnsonburg, Pa. Starting from the American side, they worked their way across the jagged ice to a point about 185 metres from the U.S. Maid of the Mist landing. There, they found a huge ice boulder and sat on it for nearly half an hour, enjoying the scene.
Misner, in an article he later wrote for a magazine, recalled, “I felt perfectly safe, but Miss Hall remarked she could hear a singing noise under her feet. I assured her it was only her fancy.”
On their way back , they were told by people gesturing on shore that they could not reach the boat dock, since a large crevice had opened in front of it. The couple then made for the Upper Steel Arch Bridge (located close to where the Rainbow Bridge is now), where they were informed they could safely reach land.
With rising apprehension, they picked their way across the rough ice towards the bridge. Hurrying as quickly as possible, the couple suddenly came to a large crevice that was about a metre wide. Misner tried to bridge the gap with pieces of ice so he could help Hall get across.
Looking into the crevice, he could see the black water racing along 30 metres below – a chilling sight. As Misner wrote, “One false step meant sure death. It was now about 4:20 p.m. There had been 200 people watching our progress and in less than three minutes afterwards, there were 2,000.”
As he was getting ready to jump across the crevice, there was a loud bang like the simultaneous firing of many guns. The ice bridge had started to move! It was a desperate situation: “The falling of huge masses of ice, the grinding, gurgling sound that reached our ears nearly paralyzed us with fear.”
Finding themselves cut off from the American shore, the panic-stricken couple headed for the Canadian side. They had gone only a few metres when the ice suddenly parted at their feet. It was a very close call: “But for having hold of Miss Hall’s hand, she would have gone to the bottom or have been ground to death by the ice before reaching the water. She fell her full length between these two boulders but, by putting forth every bit of strength I could, I managed to pull her out, but none too soon, for the ice came together with an awful crash.”
By now, Misner and Hall were just below the Steel Arch Bridge, having been carried downriver about 200 metres. Close to the bridge on the American side was a large outlet through which water used in a power station above the falls discharged into the river at 140 kilometres per hour. As Misner well knew, “Here was the point where death seemed so certain. Old settlers of Niagara Falls little expected us to get by this point as the under-current here usually sucks under anything that passes. But we got by in safety.” Then, a few metres below, they heard a shout and found the ice bridge had come to a standstill. It was the first time in memory the bridge had stopped once it had started moving down the river.
Misner and Hall realized they had to act, and act quickly. With the ice liable to start moving again at any moment, every second counted. With the thousands gathered on shore shouting encouragement, the couple struggled on. They frequently fell and at times had to jump into ravines and then struggle out the other side. At one point, an exhausted Hall gave up, but Misner urged her forward.
Finally, after crossing about 45 metres of slush ice, they reached the Canadian side, their desperate attempt to reach land having taken about 45 minutes. As they stepped ashore, “Willing hands stood waiting to receive us and to congratulate us on our almost miraculous escape from certain death.”
Despite this and other near tragedies, the ice bridge continued to be a popular winter playground until 1912, when three people drowned following a sudden breakup.
From that time on, walking on the ice bridge has been strictly prohibited.

Better chance U.S. will accept passport option: Premier
The Canadian Press
Monday, February 26, 2007 – 02:00
Local News – There’s a growing chance U.S. officials will accept alternatives to passports, Ontario’s Dalton McGuinty insisted Sunday as he kicked off a lobbying mission with two other provincial premiers to try and have the security measure delayed.
“I think there’s a bit of a door opening here.” said McGuinty, who wants to substitute a new high-security driver’s licence the province is developing.
“I think we’re making real progress.”
McGuinty noted U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff recently said he’ll consider licences if they meet certain standards.
Democrats who now control Congress may also be more receptive, he said.
And U.S. states will be “coming on stronger” to advocate using documents that have more than the single purpose of verifying someone’s identity and citizenship, he predicted.
But first, said Manitoba’s Gary Doer and New Brunswick’s Shawn Graham, U.S. officials must take all the time Congress gave them – until June 2009 – to implement the passport requirement at land and sea crossings.
If they try to push it through by Jan. 1, 2008, said Graham, they’ll “slow traffic to a crawl and unravel many of the ties that connect our two nations.”
The Ontario card, McGuinty said, would have the “latest cutting-edge security features” and the province will work with Ottawa so it denotes citizenship.
