  • FEA joyride.jpg JOYRIDE: Can vulnerability be key to happiness?

    There is a monster in my sight these days and I am working hard to vanquish it, stabbing away with my swords of optimism and reason. It is, however, putting up a powerful fight.

    The monster that threatens my peacefulness is something that Americans don’t like to talk about much — but it’s something each of us must deal with. Our lives depend on our ability to do it well. I’m talking about looking into a future that holds weakness and vulnerability, the kind that crushed my father and now seems to be threatening my agile, full-of-attitude, 83-year-old mother.  I’m talking about getting old.

  • FEA Gliding Stars.jpg EVENT ON ICE: Falls siblings among stars who glide

    I’m sure it’s not easy being a single mom, but every week I watch one of the best come into the Hyde Park Ice Rink in Niagara Falls, followed by her troop of six - yes that’s six - children from ages 3 to 14.  

    They are all special needs children, adopted by this remarkable single mom, Tracy Vacarro. The oldest is  E.J. (short for Ethan), 14, down to Griffin who’s 3; then there’s Jameson, 13, Isabella, 9, Bethany, 10, and Riley, 4. These remarkable, resilient children have all been skating with Gliding Stars for four seasons, learning to be “stars” on the ice in an adaptive skating program that is headquartered here in Western New York with chapter programs in five states and eight cities nationwide.
