The Lockport Sun Journal reports that both boards will meet Wednesday and are expected to sign off on a deal that puts Barker Superintendent Roger Klatt at the helm of both districts.

The charges follow an investigation involving Batavia PD, the Sheriff's Office, Niagara County Sheriff's Office, Middleport PD and the FBI, and additional charges may be coming in other jurisdiction.

The dream of an artist to do something for the place where he started was fulfilled Sunday when a sculpture he created cast in bronze was unveiled at Middleport Village Hall, formerly the Middleport Elementary School.

Davis Thelen once wrote that "the challenge of history is to recover it from the past and introduce it to the present." So looking at some old pictures recently of the Middleport Fire Department, I found several that made me reflect on Thelen's challenge.

The unveiling of the bronze sculpture created by artist Bob Delay and placed in the lobby of Middleport Village Hall will be unveiled in a public ceremony to be held at 2 p.m. Sunday.
