    We’ve been lucky, so far.     Although both their parents have done time in newspaper newsrooms ... which aren’t the most, shall we say, polite workplaces in terms of language heard and used ... we’ve managed to keep our kids from picking up any truly impolite words.

    Looking for a love story this Valentine’s day? One that will push you a little further than another Nicholas Sparks novel, or gives more hardy laughs than Danielle Steel’s latest? Why not check out Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream?”

  • Wurlitzer1 Wurlitzer: A symbol of industry


    One could say the creation and evolution of the Wurlitzer complex is reflective of the history of North Tonawanda itself.
    The city’s historic exports — lumber and carousels — begat a new purpose for its third famous contribution, the Wurlitzer organ, which came to provide the sound track that made all those go-rounds so merry.

  • Crib Notes 2011.jpg Little minds are sponges for new information

    I couldn’t believe my ears. Standing in the Buffalo Museum of Science, I didn’t actually expect Penny to care when I told her that mummies are from Egypt.
    But she did. And then she asked where Egypt is.

  • Danielle Haynes mug HAYNES: Just like the rest of us

    It’s a curious relationship we have with celebrities these days, what with social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Sure, most of us aren’t really “friends” with Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) or Sabres forward Derek Roy (@Roy9ner), but we now know what they had for breakfast, what they think about the latest blockbuster in theaters ... oh, and we know if they can’t spell worth a darn now, too.

    Justin and Claire Holler, the husband/wife owners of Big Bloom Hydroponics, would like people to know there’s more to hydroponics than what you think you may know. Say the word “hydroponics” and images of incense, peace signs and tie-dye might come to mind, but for the Hollers it’s about science, healthy eating and year-round gardening.

  • double trouble2011.jpg ‘Little angels,’ other myths of parenthood

    My kids can be sweet.
       Oh, they can be sweet. They can absolutely charm their grandparents and their teachers and random strangers met at the mall or grocery store. They smile, they chatter and I swear that sometimes they actually bat their eyelashes. (My sons have totally unfair eyelashes for little boys.)
