Live, from Queen Street
It’s Fort Erie’s Gypsy Theatre, eager to be part of downtown Niagara Falls
Posted By JOHN LAW , REVIEW STAFF WRITER
It didn’t take long for the deja vu to hit John Dalingwater and Bernadette Feeney.
Nearly 20 years ago, during a lousy economy, they refurbished an old building in downtown Fort Erie into a new theatre.
Here they are again, fixing up an old downtown building, opening a new theatre, dealing with another recession. Only this time -like the gypsies they’re named after -they’re on the move.
In May, the Niagara theatre company will open a sister stage in Niagara Falls at the former Seneca movie theatre on Queen Street. (more…)

Festival lights the sky
A MAGICAL START TO CHRISTMAS
Posted By JOHN LAW , REVIEW STAFF WRITER
It didn’t feel a lot like Christmas, but the Winter Festival of Lights made the most of it on a rainy opening night Saturday.
Under a steady downpour, a soggy crowd at Queen Victoria Park sat through an hour of speeches, Christmas carols and magic acts before Disney favourites Goofy and Pluto flipped the switch to officially open the 26th annual festival.
At that point, everyone dropped their umbrellas to check out a city transformed. For the next two months, more than a million visitors are expected to take in more than 120 animated displays and three million lights, making this one of North America’s biggest illumination festivals. (more…)

The History Of Sherman Zavitz
Saturday Special How the city’s past ‘became a real passion’ for a soft-spoken writer
Posted By JOHN LAW
You might assume some things about Sherman Zavitz, the city’s official historian. He’ll then correct you. Politely, as always.
One: He’s so low-key and reserved, he has never been in trouble in his life.
Wrong. He once got a detention in school. Maybe twice.
Two: He’s so calm and collected, he has never had to raise his voice.
Wrong. During his 35 years as a teacher, he had to “lay down the law” a few times. But he never yelled.
“You get the best out of kids when they’re not in fear of you,” he says.
Three: He actually paid attention instead of goofing off in history class. OK, you got him there. (more…)
