Fruit finds chilly night, but wine grapes should be spared
March 27, 2012 By
The chilly weather threatened some of the local fruit that got an early start on spring with the warm temperatures.
Although many have been worried about the local wine trail and the effect the frost might have on it, Randy Biehl of Cambria’s Eveningside Winery said other fruits could be in trouble, but wine grapes that have yet to full develop should survive the freeze.
“When grapes go from buds to flowers, little flowerrs, and when they go that far and then you get a hard frost, boom, it knocks down the flowers, and that means you’re not going to get grapes,” Biehl said.
“We have wine grapes, and I’m not as concerned. I’m not crazy about it.
“I think we’re OK.”

The news that Direct Air had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy was a tremendous blow to the Niagara Falls International Airport, which had relied heavily on that carrier.
But one local official doesn’t think that will slow the airport’s progress. Lewiston’s Henry Sloma is the interim chairman of the NFTA board and he said the Niagara Falls market will rebound quickly and this will only be a minor setback.
