It also caused the transfer of tonnes of sand from Crystal Beach which disturbed the Fowler's Toad. A local who took pictures of the trucks loading up the sand was approached by police and told that he was not allowed to take pictures of the sand transfer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495038420778835026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-41091282868153682072014-02-10T11:14:03.105-05:002014-02-10T11:14:03.105-05:00I was under the impression that Ron Tripp was the ...I was under the impression that Ron Tripp was the one responsible for the ruination of the once lovely Bernard/Thunder Bay Beach with the ill-conceived drainage "improvement" program.Ann Foleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-73240750424849090862014-02-08T10:55:52.861-05:002014-02-08T10:55:52.861-05:00I was trying to "Give Credit where Credit is ...I was trying to "Give Credit where Credit is Do" LOLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495038420778835026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-62066398385732588142014-02-08T10:35:52.679-05:002014-02-08T10:35:52.679-05:00Very glad the track gets a reprieve despite the Li...Very glad the track gets a reprieve despite the Liberals trying to ``BUY election`` the riding. What ever works at this late a stage.<br /><br /> I think the lions share of the credit should go to Kim Craitor who championed the track where it counts in Queens Park, against his own party and to his own detriment. Martin and Thibert were too busy erecting banners and finger pointing at anyone and everyone to deflect blame for their long list of failures. If it wasn`t for the by-election, you can be sure the Liberals would not forget the bloody nose these 2 idiots gave them with their ``impress the locals` BS and it`s all someone else`s fault`` recording that we have heard forever now. A little common sense dougie`n jimmie that any dog knows, don`t bite the hand that feeds you and when it comes to the track, that`s the party in power in Toronto. <br /><br />Madam Editor you gave way too much credit to these 2 leading horses of our apocalypse. It`s their job, they are well paid for it and how they have the gall to collect their pay for their complete lack of performance or even common sense shows how little character both these clowns possess.CorruptionFighternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-25614899714788734602014-02-08T10:18:44.570-05:002014-02-08T10:18:44.570-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.What Irks Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001250900518151069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734542855080671064.post-34895958970454095372014-02-08T03:12:30.236-05:002014-02-08T03:12:30.236-05:00I also heard today that Ron Tripp has been given t...I also heard today that Ron Tripp has been given the head job in infrastructure at the region. Looks like Schlange is assembling a team of former Fort Erie staff people at the region. I don't think that anyone had a problem with Ron Tripp in his former role in Fort Erie as head of infrastructure. He is trained and experienced in that field, but he is not CAO material. While he served as acting CAO in Fort Erie, he appeared to be nothing but a "yes-man" for Martin. It was a bad fit.<br /><br />Good luck to him and Helen Chamberlain.

It was in a notice circulated to everyone at the Race Track to vote for who they were told in order to keep their jobs. The same notice hung at Town Hall only temporarily.<br />The old boys wanted McDermott, Shular, Zanko, Whitfield, Lockhart and Graber. Of course Martin as mayor.<br />No wonder they were SO UPSET with the outcome.watchingnoreply@blogger.com
