The Situation At The Racetrack

Cloutier sent me a link about the situation at the racetrack. He reports that Sharon Bowers was not there.

Hey, anybody know which flower pot Sharon pooped in?

I've got a plaque to put on it. It reads:

This is the pot where Sharon shit,

Helen thought she was just going to sit.

She dropped down her shorts,

Let out a couple of snorts,

And said "It'll only smell for a bit"

You see that's what good reporters do now, they sit in there office or they sit at home and hope someone calls them with good tidbits that you can make into any story you want. Seems she dosn't go to many things anymore. Probably afraid that she will shit somewhere.

Need help please. I want to set up a blog but don't know how.

I tried to converse on the Strand, but got belittled every time that I tried .....

I wrote ..... Actually Editor, the posters comments are not that far off.

He/she makes many good points. You cannot see the lake from the road, many of the business are badly in need of upgrading and they are open for only a few months of the year.

The poster, though the post may not be written as elequent as you would like, is not unlike the attitude in which posts are written in opposition to the project.

If you accepted this post only as an example of the "harrasement" that you get, as you have implied, and would have otherwise not accepted the post, then you are doing your community and readers a great injustice.

You have just thrown your comment that you respect the right of others to their opinion. You have mocked and laughed at the poster.

She responded ..... Here we go again. You can`t handle the truth. Crystal Beach has been allowed to deteriorate because of what some might call "engineered blight." For years, we`ve noticed people in suits checking out Bay Beach and the area. Developers, we were told. All sniffing around, looking to buy land cheap because they knew that Crystal Beach was a hidden gem, waiting to be polished and fashioned into a crown jewel. TPTB at town hall knew that as well - especially the town planner. It is my opinion that Crystal Beach has been used as a bargaining tool and a lure by TPTB. There are people quietly manipulating the situation from behind the scenes that will benefit in some way from the Bay Beach debacle. Just look at Doug Martin's campaign donations.

I wrote .... Editor,

Whay did you delete Councillor Annunziata's post?

And when you say " but some are only interested in pointing out their "no" votes." , it is YOU that always pointed out that they were the only ones to vote against the Molinaro Plan.

She wrote ..... I did not delete Annunziata's post. At his request, I deleted the remark he took offence to. It is true that both Noyes and Steckley voted against the Molinaro Project, but the poster was saying that they voted "nay" to "just about everything." I corrected that misconception. Both Noyes and Steckley have voted in favour of motions - many times. They, like a lot of us, have a problem with the town giving away public waterfront property to a developer who plans to build a twelve sory high rise. What part of that don't you get?

I wrote ... There you go belettling poster's again "What part of that don't you get?" and based on you history of posts, I know how you intended that to read.

1. You DID indeed delete delete Councillor Annunziata's original post and posted it again under your name. Why did you delete his original post?

2. On the Steckley/ Noyes No vote issue, I was responding to your comment " but some are only interested in pointing out their "no" votes.". I am sure that they have voted in favour on a number of issues. I was not commenting on their voting history, but rather yours. YOU are the one who keeps ramming down peoples throats that they were the only 2 to vote against the development. THen you accuse others of always bringing up the No Vote.

So, in your words, " What part of that don't you get?"

She wrote .... I allowed that last one to show how certain posters are determined to derail the conversation by nitpicking a statement to death. The subject of this piece is Martha Lockwood and her possible conflict of interest. Let's get back to that, shall we? I have no respect for Lockwood, Annunziata, Whitfield, Shular and the mayor for any number of reasons, but the main one is that they are in favour of giving away public waterfront land to a developer who wants to build a twelve story high rise. That is my agenda. There are other places that you can post your observations and slams against the people of Crystal Beach, myself, Ann Marie or Bob. I suggest you post on those other sites. If you have any reasonable arguments as to why the Molinaro Plan is a good thing, they will be considered.

I wrote ( but not accepted) .... How dare you ..... HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Accuse me of " derail(ing) the conversation".

Show me ONE post on this thread that relates to your original topic, that of Martha's letter to the Editor.

YOU, yourself have brought into the discussion numerous comments unrelated to the topic.

I simply asked you to substatiate your actions and comments.

I DID NOT post any slam against ANYONE .... get your facts straight.

Now you present ME as a harrasment to your blog just because I asked a couple of questions in a respectable manner.

Perhaps I should start a blog, which seems to be the norm these days.

She wrote..... An attempt has been made to derail the conversation and to "take over" this blog. It is because of the behaviour of a couple of twelve-year-olds that I have to reject certain posts. I have stated my agenda. If you want to post reasonable arguments, they may be considered. If not, go somewhere else - or start your own blog. See how well it worked out for Mighty Mouth. Such a shame, really. There is room in cyberspace for all opinions. I will remain adamant that I believe it is wrong for the town to give away public waterfront to a developer who plans to build a twelve story condo high rise. I have re-dedicated The Strand and its blog to that agenda. While I will consider posting opposing views if presented in a reasonable way, I will not tolerate attempts to hijack the conversation. Do you understand that now?

Who's town is this .... Who's COUNTRY is this.

Frankly, I'm am getting FED UP with this whole blog thing.

The Strand .... put out by an American who has sponged off of us for decades, and now thinks she has the RIGHT to impose her perceptions of what a Canadian town should be. She has NO rights .... she is not a Canadian citizen ..... never was .... never will be .... never wanted to be.

Her counterpart, who she is in collaberation with, John McCarthy proudly proclaims himself to be an American citizen as well.

I received an email today from Marcia Carlyn representing the Friends of Crystal Beach. Her ISP from the email reflrcts that from and American source.

So ..... who's Town is this ..... Who's Country is this .... it is ours .....CANADIANS!!!!!!

Why are we being inundated with their propaganda.

Canadians did not invent the phrase " Yankee Go Home", and there is a reason for it, but this CANADIAN will surely use that phrase ..... Yankee Sharon, John, and Marcia .... Go Home. Our flag has NO blue in in it, we don't want it, and don't respect the one that does.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS ....

Ms. Bowels stated in her blog that "I will not be printing any attacks against Ann Marie."

I attempted to post a VERY reasonable question about that:

"Editor,

I was reading with great interest your last post in which you pointed out Anne Marie's credentials which is always something good to know.

But my enthusiasm for your post dropped when you said that you would not accept posts that make points against her.

Certainly, you are well know for numerous abusive attacks on the current council, many of whom will be running again in this election.

Would it be fair to assume that you will be extending the same policy towards posting about the other candidates?"

Of course, the post was REJECTED.

COMMUNIST BLOG .... at it's finest.

From the EDITOR
"OH NO! He did-ent! Yes he did, it seems. Ward 1 Councillor Sandy Annunziata made a statement at Monday (January 18, 2010) night's council meeting in response to Ann Marie Noyes's Notice of Motion that indicates the existence of a Letter of Intent between the Town of Fort Erie and the Molinaro Group. He may have meant to say Memo of Understanding, but he needs to set the record straight. Pronto. Otherwise, he is indicating that the town has made a decision about the Molinaro Plan before the proper public consultation is complete - which is in violation of municipal and contract law and it could open the town up for a lawsuit."

A letter of intent or LOI is a document outlining an agreement between two or more parties before the agreement is finalized.LOIs resemble written contracts, but are usually not binding on the parties in their entirety.A LOI may also be referred to as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) The different terms reflect different styles, but do not indicate any difference under law. A contract, in contrast, is a legal document governed by contract law. There is however a specific difference between an LOI and MOU, whereby an LOI is the intent from one party to another and does not in this case have to be signed by both parties, whereas an MOU is an agreement between two or more parties, which should be signed by all parties to be valid.

So what's your point Editor? Next time she decides to play Corporate Lawyer, please someone remind her she's an idiot!

"I actually videotaped this off the TV."

Admitting to video pirating and copyright infrigement. I think there is a question Youtube asks you before you upload any material to it 'Are you the owner of the footage being uploaded?' Seems Sharon Bowers is a thief and a liar... But we already knew that didn't we.

It must be nice to have a wide screen TV, cable, video recorder, broadband internet, computer and a cell phone with the number of the next mayor on speed dial and access to all kinds of great legal advice.

"It's interesting that a couple of posters are calling me a thief because I stood in front of a TV and recorded something that is public information"

Meeting was Public. Footage of meeting owned by COGECO. THIEF!!

Who wants to bet her pirated video will be removed shortly. Why, you ask? Because she is a THIEF and this will prove it when it's removed.

Hey mikey!

I wonder what the Americans on the 1812 committee which you sit on - for now, will say when they see the hate against americans on the site YOU and your friend canuck created.Your registration has already been obtained.

I guess you just like to keep screwing up your life to kiss ass to people that use you.

As for bay beach, They have already lost and so have you.
