Breaking News!
Hurricane Marcia has been sighted and reported to have touched down in the Bay Beach Area. Parents are advised to secure your children to the public part of the beach and hold on to your wallets cause taxes are sure to go up in the wake of frivolous law suits and fired lawyers, however, pasta dinners and bake sale fundraiser will be in huge abundance this summer so get your insulin ready. If you see Virginia plates take cover!
That is all.
When the six sets of plaintiffs signed up to sue the Town, was it beach land being lost or was it beach front property by then?
Expensive way to find out.
Why did the slots revenue and attendance drop so significantly?
Why did the numbers at Casino Niagara and Fallsview drop?
Why did the Race Track attendance drop significantly over steady trends for many years?
Heck, why did two Canadian Ballet Palaces close down?
Let’s get a few comments before posting the rest.
Brain Surgery by Google
You can learn all about brain surgery by googling it. Heck you may even be able to learn how to do it by watching a video on you tube. But would you?
The one thing googling does when you try to learn something is not give you the entire picture. There are situations where if one thing goes one way, then you have to do something entirely different. It is not just as easy as following a simple rule of thumb for everything.

Dereck "I'm not truly this bad"Crane posted the following on the We're for the four blog:
"Each of these four councilors were elected to put a stop to the condo and they failed, I was wrong in trusting politicians. You lost my support."

Looks like some trouble in paradise!!!!! Since Mr Crane has lost his suit against his own home town maybe he can sue his hometown councilors. I think if he used "they took advantage of me" defense it might work for him.
I had a very intersting and even more informative converstion today with a very good friend and fellow Mason. This person I might add, served several terms as Mayor of a town roughly the same size as Fort Erie. In a nutshell, there ARE avenues that can be taken without launching lawsuits. It involves the Ministry of Municiple Affairs, who take conflict of interest very seriously, and do not buy into the defence of "sorry, I did not know".

This is not to say I told you so, this is to re-affirm the OLG were just 'screwing' with us.
The plan to Close Fort Erie Slots and the 2 other sites was not something thought up over night or just thrown together. The OLG has know for a long period of time (as long as 2 years) they would be closing our site when they did and had ABSOLUTELY no intention of letting it open again, no matter who came forward.
The End of an Era
Well it has just been announced that Fort Erie is officially off the map for privatization of the slots and the consequences will be far reaching. Although I am not the type to say let’s throw in the towel, but the future of horseracing is pretty bleak in Fort Erie which, unless some miracle occurs between now and the end of the season, it doesn’t look good. Horse racing has been just as much a part of our heritage and identity as the Fort itself, it certainly looks like the end of an era.
I suppose that we should be grateful at this point that there are jobs coming. Call centre jobs are better than nothing, but over all this is not a good sign.

We have to keep asking questions and demanding accountability of this council. This is our town and our tax dollars that are being spent. We paid $93,000 for the Operational Review. The key findings were room for improvement with regard to relationships between council and staff and trust issues. Since the review, the relationship between council and staff has deteriorated. All the accusations of corruption and wrong doing where not found and not proven. If there is no proof of corruption therefore these accusation should be stopped.

One way to find out John Doe 1&2 is to google it, use the quotation marks as printed above or copy and paste the following “john doe 1&2” and then see what happens. The first story is from ….ta-daa, redbulldiaries.ca (second story if you forgot the quotation marks).
The second way to find out john doe 1&2 is to wait just a bit longer. The IP information is on its way and soon to be referenced to the ISP records as to whose account was using that address at the time in question. Electronic fingerprints never lie.
Couldn't pull the trigger tonight?
We know you want to.
We know you want to relieve your 6 plaintiffs of their Court awarded costs to the town you supposedly represent.
So when will you put your Big Boy pants on John Hill?
Next week?
A week thereafter?
Promises, promises......John
You know Ann-Marie Noyes and Marcia Carlyn are waiting!
Fulfill your promises like a good lil boy, Johnny.
Do it!
We in Ridgeway, ONTARIO CANADA, can't wait for your next dare.......
Her latest post, get ready for this,
“The proposed beach level washroom is located below the flood proofing standard elevation and is subject to flood damage. The washroom facility is a seasonal, non-habitable building.”
I did correct her spelling errors to make her not appear as simple as a bright orange shirt wearing man in a public place.
I have to ask if NL is a real blonde because it may explain what we all see.
I suppose your selective spews of information include the date and periods of the so called floods?
Leslie of Venus Jewelers hits a grand slam. The due date from the Operational review as voted on by Council has come and gone, there was no update and little more than pure silence and a deer in headlights look from our fab four.
There is a lttle blog out there in outer-space that is proclaiming a 'housing boom' in my village of Ridgeway ONTARIO, which by the by, is also a village of Greater Fort Erie.
The only boom, in the Real-Estate biz, is the Sign Company that makes new FOR SALE signs needed to keep up with demand the past year or so.
Ask any respectable realltor in town and they'll tell you that there are more homes FOR SALE in town than neighbouring Niagara Falls and St. Catherines who by the by, have more than three times the population and less homes on the market.
When are the lies and mis leading info going to stop? The only true way to if there is any way at all is to look at the who was elected as Mayor to establish the will of the people. The Nimby crowd is still going on about how the will of the people was ignored. Look, Doug Martin was always very open about his stance on this Bay Beach condo and he is the only person on this council that reflects the entire town of FE. The will of the people was to have Doug Martin back as our mayor and that is it.
Sadly, I went on a group page created by DC and his posting pics of a bull getting tortured in some weird creepy guy that watches too many movies way. This guy tries really hard to put out this image that he is some kind a bad ass when really all he is, is a heavily medicated guy with a bi polar disorder. I know Greggers is not fond of us talking about these low lifes and prefers to take the high road, but I am more concerned about his kid and his safety. Using pics of an animal being tortured is just wrong no matter how you want to be perceived.
Earlier today, RedBullDiaries.ca surpassed the 100,000 reader mark.
That means over 100,000 people are now reading redbulldiaires.ca.
Congratulations to all and let’s continue to grow and spread the truth as it really is, not just how others say it is in a coffee shop!
Tomorrow night, the next installment of the Fort Erie Funnies and more registered votes. Will you be voting to forgive the Court award to your group of compadres? The ones linked to Steckley for sure and especially Lubberts? Heck, should Lubberts even be allowed to vote on this matter due to conflict of interest? I mean he is open about meeting with the Lawyer for the Plaintiffs and giving him documents.
Are you fed up yet FE?
How much more damage to our town will these 4 councilors get away with? When is enough, enough? It is not getting better any time soon. This site has been showing you how inept this council is and who is behind this all for over a year now. Audits, town reviews, tax increases, the slots closing and soon the track, the Kinsmen pool, over a million spent on a light house and we are broke. Now they are costing us another half mil easy on this lawyer issue when the women should have never been fired to begin with.
Spiders, while a large and diverse group, are more narrowly focused in their feeding habits than insects, being almost exclusively predators.
Unique features of spiders include:
• They possess only two body segments
• They do not have antennae
• Mouthparts are modified into fangs
• They have spinnerets
Spiders have limited muscle development compared to insects and rely on hydraulic pressure instead to extend and retract limbs.
Common groups encountered in Newfoundland and Labrador include:

We should ask the town to higher an outside consultant to do another Efficiency Study. This one should focus on our spending as related our Legal Department.
We are currently still paying Ms. Salter, we will soon be paying her a huge severance, we are paying a lawyer to advise council on how to minimize the damage they have just caused by firing her, we are paying outside council to take care of the day to day legal issues and they said they will be replacing Ms. Salter.
I dislike using initials when I speak to someone, so for all intense purposes, how about I just call you Meester George.
Meester George can not remember a time in the past 41 years about high paying jobs. Well that does not surprise me that his memory is failing or perhaps just selective.
John Doe 1&2 to be named.
The successful lawsuit against a Crystal Beach Blogger by the Fort Erie Economic Development Corporation and its General Manager, Mr. Jim Thibert will soon find out the identities of John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 as well as any other posters under the anonymous title.
Courts ordered Google to supply the IP addresses of all the posters on the Blog somewhere around the middle of April. Authorities will not take the IP addresses to the Internet Service Providers associated with the IP Addresses for identification.
I recall being very young and my father teaching me about telling the truth always. He used to say, the problem with lying, is you have to remember every single one and to whom and when you said it. The truth was always easy to tell remember because it really happened.

Being fired by a registered 4-3 vote after harassment complaints against one or more Councilors? Can you say conflict? Can you say big no no? Can you say in the neighbourhood of $500,000.00 dollars to say goodbye?
Just another shining example of why these four need to step down and put some people with experience or at least common sense in there.
More tax burden on the shoulders of us all,
