Advertiser Sports Column: The Active Voice: The Solitude of a Runner

Audio Article

I remember being so nervous that morning, October 16, 1982. The weather along the Niagara River was perfect for running, mid-50s with a low deck of clouds and little chance of Mr. Golden Sun visiting any time soon. But still, my nerves. Pacing around in the cold listening to the portable toilet door slamming was doing about zero to make […]

Dear Editor, If it’s Thursday, there must be a negative editorial in the Advertiser written by our esteemed assemblyman David DiPietro.
