NIAGARA FALLS — The third-annual Porter on the Lake Labor Day Fest is back again, bigger and better than ever. Save Monday for an unforgettable day of music, great food and fun. Gates open at 10 a.m. and close at dusk.

The Toronto skyline and the blue waters of Lake Ontario are a picturesque backdrop for a stage that will host five well-known Western New York musical acts including Mo Porter, Copperhead Road, Free Henry and Rip and the Bandogs. Music starts at 11 a.m. The headline performance starts at 6 p.m. and will feature The Boys of Summer who will offer their rendition of favorite top 40 tunes including “Only the Good Die Young,” “I Will Survive,” “What a Wonderful World” and “Mambo No. 5,” among others.

Co-chairs are Town of Porter residents Linda White and her husband Town Councilman Larry White and Gloria Baker and her husband, Town Councilmember Jeff Baker. According to Jeff, “The purpose of this event is to showcase our park and also to generate revenue for its maintenance fund. The park is free to the pubic 364 days a year. On this one day, we are asking for a donation of $5 per adult (children are free). All proceeds from the entrance fees will be used to offset costs associated with the event and to put in a fund to maintain and improve the park for public enjoyment.”

Proceeds from the beer tent will be shared with the Youngstown and Ransomville volunteer fire companies.

In addition to musical entertainment, there will be food vendors and many activities for children and families including coloring, a bounce house, magicians, clowns, face painting and games.

Premier sponsors of this event include Big Jack Productions, CWM Chemical Services, the Modern Corporation and Sevenson Environmental Services, Inc.

Pre-sale tickets are available at First Niagara Bank at 500 Center St., Lewiston, and the Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce at 100 North Third St., Lewiston.

For more information or to volunteer, please call Linda White at 745-1176 or Gloria Baker at 754-2901.

It's ni hao Lew-Port for Chinese teacher
“Knee how.”
While the spelling is incorrect, the pronunciation is exactly how the Chinese say hello. The sentiment is precisely how Wang Ying, the newest — though temporary — member of the Lewiston-Porter faculty greeted her students for the first time when she arrived in late January.

Shining a light on the issue of teen dating violence
Kim Davidson didn’t fully grasp what her daughter had gotten herself into.
Although she had seen “changes” in Kari’s behavior — sudden distance from old girl friends, quitting the cheerleading squad, downsizing her college and career plans to accommodate a boy she’d only dated a few months — Davidson confessed she had no idea those changes were warning signs of a looming tragedy.

Niagara woman is fooled by ‘phisher’
Beverley Porter was taking a nap one day last week when her phone rang.
The scammer at the other end of the line had gotten lucky. After most likely making random calls to numbers in the 716 area code, he was able to catch the Town of Niagara woman when she was groggy, and slightly medicated from a minor surgical procedure earlier in the day.
