Town of Niagara Historian Pete Ames put out the word out for residents looking to locate one of the town’s many “Hometown Heroes” banners.
“I have over 100 banners out and I try to put them in alphabetical order,” Ames said, “but there are always some that people can't locate easily.”
Over past weeks, Ames has worked with the crew of the Town of Niagara Parks Department and they installed most of the veteran banners. Aimes said there are 18 more to be added to the others for a total of 105. Of those, 11 banners are in the Veteran’s Heights neighborhood on roads that are named for the men who were killed in service. There are two banners for the parks there, as well, for Ellerington and Sharpe.
All “Hometown Heroes” banners will be on display until Veteran’s Day.
Ames invited residents to check out the 38 banners now flying in Veteran’s Park at 7000 Lockport Road. The banners begin with the Edward Adamczyk banner in the west parking lot at the community center and go alphabetically through Joseph Maselli at the park entrance. At Lockport and Military roads, the M-titles head north to Witmer Road and return to Military Road to the west side of Lockport Road, where the banners continue to Mayle Court and back to Military.
“Onto (the) six corners, they start with Lonnie McCarthy heading south, then back north on Military to Lockport Road, where they grace the north side of Lockport Road from Richard Reagle heading east to Miller Road where Casey Zygmont is,” Ames said.
Residents unable to find a banner can contact Ames at 716-297-4429.
