Local News – Some believe the thin red line of Canadian and British forces were the true victors of the fierce and bloody Battle of Lundy’s Lane nearly 200 years ago.
Others claim the increasingly professional American army got the best of their combatants.

Local News – After another night of live animals, loud music and scantily-clad women, Greg Frewin just wants to chill.
After all, he’s about to do it all over again in 10 hours.
As Canada’s most decorated magician arrives for a morning interview, you half-expect entrance music. Everything he does is flashy, soaked in show biz. But today, the snazzy suit is replaced by shorts and a wrinkled shirt. Instead of a tiger, he’s holding a half-empty coffee cup. Instead of makeup, there’s a bit of sag under his eyes. One of his fingers is in a splint. (more…)

Blade and Suede, a pair of rare Orinoco crocodiles from Venezuela, are not the happiest couple in their current enclosure at the Seaway Serpentarium Reptile Zoo at 9 Steel St.
Currently, the two are separated by a partition because Blade and Suede are fighting. The tank doesn’t give the two crocodiles enough space to live in harmony, said Karel Fortyn, zoo owner and curator. “And for the birds and the bees, a partition doesn’t work well,” Fortyn adds. (more…)

Wednesday, July 25, 2007 – 07:00
Local News – FORT ERIE – Like an alignment of the planets, it seems the key political movers and shakers on the American side of the decade-old controversy over plans to build another bridge to span the upper Niagara River between Fort Erie and Buffalo are all moving in the same direction these days.
That, and a number of key milestones in recent months, has Ron Rienas bubbling with optimism that the oft-delayed Peace Bridge Expansion Project is finally moving ahead.
“I’ll use a football analogy,” Rienas, general manager of the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, said in an interview with The Review earlier today. “We’re going for the touchdown.
