Attention EVERYBODY

from The Herald Online


A girl practicing her athletics Monday evening narrowly avoided serious injury when she found two steak knives buried in the long jump pit at Ridgeway Crystal Beach High School.
Niagara Regional Police say she was practicing with her mother around 6 p.m. at Pride Field when the knives pointed upward were found after her first jump.
“It’s apparent this was a deliberate act that created a very dangerous situation,” stated Detective Sergeant Scott Kruasher.
Police will be conducting increased checks of local schools and playgrounds as a result of this incident.
Residents are warned to inspect playground areas before allowing their children to use the equipment and to report suspicious activity.
Anyone with information about this act is asked to call police at 905-871-2300 ext. 2300.

Whom to believe ?

From: March 10-2010

Ward 4 Coun. Tim Whitfield said he is bothered by the amount of "misinformation" distributed around town from a campaign that voiced its opposition during the entire process. He thinks people should realize that the Town does not intend to enter into more partnerships with developers and build all along the waterfront. In fact, he said somewhere down the road the local government should inquire into buying a portion of the private beach and make it accessible for the public and retain as much waterfront property as possible.

Partnership Key To Rejuvenation

The Crystal Beach Gateway project will be a model
for growth on the lakeside properties westward which will
reduce the per capita costs to provide
services for the very loosely,
and seasonally, populated cottage
neighbourhood on Erie Road. 

“I have every confidence the
new development will be successful,”
Mayor Martin said. “Because it’s in the private sector
and they are investing their dollars to make it work and in
their experience they think this is a good place to invest
and that it will grow.”


Marina proposal offers world-class resort

“This is an innovative venture partnership that is
sustainable and shared and helps implement our vision
for tourism and recreation,” said Jim Thibert, general
manager of the Fort Erie Economic Development and
Tourism Corporation.
