Council set to review controversial firearms bylaw next week By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Early morning gunfire, safety concerns and confrontations with hunters have become commonplace since Grimsby council altered the Town’s firearms bylaw last fall. Petitions and posters have been been circulated in recent weeks in an attempt to get council to reconsider the changes made to a 1976 bylaw which previously banned any discharge of firearms. Coun. Dave Sharpe got the ball rolling on the changes when he instigated changes to the bylaw in relation to bow hunting. Once the door was open, bylaw officer Henry Boese initiated input from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters who were given direct input on the creation of the new bylaw. While Coun. Kevin Ritchie noted at the last council meeting he was concerned with staff putting in too much time in helping clear up public confusion about who is responsible for what regarding jurisdiction, there was no issue with Boese putting in time to research and reword the bylaw with OFAH. “The Town of Grimsby will be dis-
cussing the new revised draft Discharge of Firearms By-Law next Monday evening (details for the meeting will be released on the town website on Friday, September 24). Given our direct involvement in working with the Town on this by-law, we have been granted permission to share the newly revised by-law/map with you prior to it being posted on their website, which will occur at some point tomorrow,” states a Sept 24 update on OFAH’s website. The issue has been mired in a state of chaos and misinformation from the get-go. At council’s last meeting, Coun. Randy Vaine told those watching the Zoom feed the OPP were the agency to call about any issues only to be corrected by Boese who said Ministry of Natural Resources is actually the right agency. According to MPP Sam Oosterhoff and an MNR official, neither is correct. “Ducks are federally regulated migratory birds; Canadian Wildlife Service (department of Environment Canada) is responsible for duck hunting seasons,” said Curtis Lindsay, senior communications advisor for MNR.

WLMH rebuild in homestretch By Mike Williscraft NewsNow One more hurdle remains - the awarding of the reconstruction contract - before shovels hit the ground for the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital rebuild. Three construction
companies were shortlisted for the $200 million project. All three submitted bids by Monday’s closing deadline. “Following a fair, open and transparent Request for Qualifications process, three teams – Amico Sacyr Alliance,
EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare and Pomerleau Healthcare Partners were shortlisted and invited to respond to a Request for Proposals in June 2021. All three teams have submitted their proposals See REBUILD, Page 2
Since Grimsby council made several adjustments to the Town firearms bylaw last November, scores of concerns have been raised about safety, noise issues and, to many, common sense. Hunters have frequented Lake Ontario waters - within the boundaries of the new bylaw - from Foran’s Marine west to just beyond the Murray Street Park. Here, a youngster perched on a swing in that park watches a camouflaged boat on the water. Impacts of this bylaw change are scheduled to come up this coming Monday at Grimsby’s council meeting.

We thank all three teams for participating in this process and sharing their visions for the new hospital. We look forward to working with our partners at Infrastructure Ontario to select the team which will bring this important piece of health infrastructure to life,” said Kelly Campbell, HHS vice-president, corporate services and capital development. The three shortlisted teams submitted technical proposals for the project at the end of November 2021. Now, the attention of key players turns to what is hoped to be a spring announcement. “Things are progressing very well thanks to the hard work of HHS and the Province. We continue to push Ministry of Infrastructure and HHS to ensure the award then a sod turning before the next provincial election, hoping for last week in April,” said WLMH Action Committee co-chair Tony Joosse.

I anticipate that, as the pandemic continues to disrupt so many homeowners’ employment, the banks will scrutinize its portfolio of HELOCs, paying close attention to those homeowners who are maxed out on their HELOC. I also believe that the banks will review any HELOCs that are held by homeowners whose sole source of earnings is pension income. Little-known HELOC facts: The interest rate can be increased. I’m not referring to the bank’s Prime lending rate here, but the discretionary surcharge that your institution charges on the Prime rate. For instance, in 2008, many Canadian banks triggered HELOC rate increases - aftershock of the global subprime mortgage crisis. The HELOC credit limit can be lowered - without the homeowner’s consent. A HELOC can be recalled. A HELOC is in simple terms, a demand loan. The bank can demand full repayment immediately, for example, if the borrower experiences an event that restricts their ability to make payments. The HELOC repayment terms can be changed. The bank can mandate a higher repayment amount than just the interest payment so that a portion of the principal balance also gets paid monthly. Financial institutions pay close attention to their customers’ debt loads. A low credit score, balances close to limits, and missed payments are all triggers for a HELOC review. If you have any questions on this subject, please contact me. I welcome every opportunity to help you achieve your personal finance goals.

HUNT
From Page 1 For Oosterhoff and others, the concern is not with hunters themselves. Residents recognize they are operating with the rules which council changed, but they want those rules reversed to eliminate safety and noise concerns. “That they are within the law, I get. That the council ‘block’ amended this to allow it, no surprise. That there have been delayed hearings since, which may or may not happen in midJanuary - after the season closes - no surprise there, either. That there is public outcry that may well be ignored by the ‘block’, again, probably will be no surprise. But… one can hope,” said resident Judy Bullis. Oosterhoff, recognizing hunters have rights when conducting themselves according to the
law, suggested erring on the side of community concerns may be in order. “Although there is a long and rich tradition of safe and humane hunting in Canada, there should always be a huge emphasis on safety. Operating live firearms in close proximity to persons enjoying local parks is concerning, as everyone should be able to enjoy public amenities without fear of stray shots or potential firearm accidents,” said Oosterhoff. At the Dec. 20 meeting of town council, posting links on the Town’s website regarding huntingrelated information was approved. A Notice of Motion was also tabled by Coun. Dorothy Bothwell asking, “...staff be directed to review By-law 21-86 to incorporate wording to prohibit the discharge of firearms within 300 metres of the shoreline of the Town of Grimsby.”

Colourful characters fill Grimsby’s past Many famous people have had roots or connections with Grimsby. Some of them are no longer household names. yet deserve our admiration. For example, in 1879, at the age of 17, Mary Julia Smith married Charles Harrison. This was noteworthy for two reasons. Charles was the principal of Dunnville High School which Mary attended. Also this talented young woman had already shown that she had great potential as a vocalist. Her voice was of exceptional purity, and she had a range of four octaves, being able to reach even the highest notes effortlessly. Charles made sure that his young wife had the best vocal teachers possible, and arranged for her to travel
A Small Drop of Ink By Dorothy Turcotte to Boston and New York. When her teachers there felt that they had taught her all that they could, she went to France to study under Mme. Marchand who had trained the famous opera singer Melba. Mary became famous onstage as Mme. Yulisse. She performed throughout North America and Britain where she sang at Covent Gardens, Royal Albert Hall and the Crystal Palace. In the USA, she was a popular performer with the Arthur Godfrey Band. When Charles became principal of Grimsby’s Grammar School, located on the land where the Carnegie Building
now stands, the Harrisons moved to Grimsby. They were a popular couple. Charles was a respected, well-liked teacher, and had a reputation as a “crack” hockey player. Mme Yulisse (or Mme. Harrison as she was known here) was generous with her talents, too, arranging many concerts both in Grimsby and in Dunnville. She was also the choir director at Centenary United Church in downtown Hamilton. When Mary Harrison died in 1949 at the age of 86, there was an abundance of tributes not only to her great talent, but also to the kind, generous person who contributed so much to her communities. She is buried in the cemetery in Dunnville.

As we reflect on the year 2021, we are filled with gratitude to the community for their tireless support throughout another unusual year. Our Trees of Healthy Wishes campaign has raised some $159,725 for our West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Thank you to everyone who supported this event and/or the other programs that were hosted throughout the year. We appreciate the unwavering care of our dedicated team of caregivers at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital. Due to the generosity of our donors, last year saw many new tools provided to these caregivers including a new CT scan in full operation along with tools needed to enhance the community surgery program available at WLMH.

Comment on the Region’s Proposed Draft Consolidated Niagara Official Plan NIAGARA IS GROWING!
The region is forecasted to grow to a minimum of 694,000 people and 272,000 jobs by the year 2051. This represents an increase of over 200,000 people and 85,000 jobs compared to 2021. To guide this growth, Niagara Region has prepared a new draft consolidated Niagara Official Plan for consultation.

Planning’s expansion of HCD boundaries not based on history: Mullins Re your Dec. 9 column on the scope expansion the Planning Department has undertaken with the Main Street East study we would agree, the direction taken by Planning is totally unwarranted for a number of reasons. When Save Main Street and the Historic Society proposed Town Council consider a Heritage district be considered to help provide property owners of Main St East with the best protection against unreasonable development not in keeping with the historic streetscape, the boundaries we recommended were very specific for a few key reasons: Main Street East between Robinson & the Beamsville / Lincoln boundary represents the growth area that happened in North Grimsby Township along the No.8 highway in the late 1800’s / early 1900’s. This came as a result of the Hamilton Grimsby Electric streetcar railway (HG&B) and the services the HG&B provided directly to farmers that enabled them to prosper. The late 1800’s expansion of Main Street East occurred under North Grimsby Township rules (not Grimsby village rules as Main St E. did not come under Grimsby control until the creation of Niagara Region in 1969 / 70). North Grimsby developed Highway 8 / Main St East with a much more refined set of guidelines that resulted in properties with a more formal character, quite different from those in Grimsby village: • deep building setbacks from the roadway • landscape buffers between properties •limited building density and lot coverage, and; • large lawns and intensive garden like plantings on most every property. The farm properties along Main St East added significantly to crop production in the area as they matured, giving rise to the “Garden of Canada” nomenclature that Main St East and Main St West farm sections came to be known as. This had little to nothing to do with Grimsby village properties that Planning has now wrapped into an expanded study area. When this study was first proposed, Planning Dept. was pushing to limit the scope to the area between Robinson and Nelles Road / the Hospital.
Nelles Farm between Nelles & Baker Roads in the 1930s. “This is where the similarities end for the study - no property in Grimsby village looked like this,” said Grimsby Historical Society president Wayne Mullins. (Grimsby Archives - Photo) Planning maintained, to go beyond the hospital, would make the study area too large. We resisted that position - the Garden of Canada did not stop at the hospital on Main Street East! The approximately 200 properties from Robinson to the Lincoln border to be studied were well within the range of numerous other existing heritage districts across Ontario. Now the “heritage professionals” of the Planning Dept. expanded the scope from a reasonable 200 properties, which they are on record as not wanting to do, to a crushing 800 including the downtown business section and much of the old Grimsby village. Why this makes no sense: The scope has become so expansive it limits what the consulting firm can reasonably assess with the project budget they have been given. By making them evaluate the Commercial core and other areas of old Grimsby Village, it dilutes the consultants’ ability to effectively evaluate the true heritage values of Main St East, which is what was being asked for. Perhaps that’s Planning’s intent, by diluting the study area it renders the study unreasonable and they won’t have to deal with the downstream work associated with a possible heritage District. The inclusion of the Downtown commercial district: Mixing historic residential farm areas of Main St East with the commercial core is nonsensical. Historical designations for downtown commercial districts should only be considered as part of a proper downtown master plan done separately in conjunction with business owners and the DIA to find an appropriate balance between eco-
nomic development opportunities and the protection and/ or enhancement of the historic character of the downtown. That is clearly a significantly different piece of work! Grimsby’s Official Plan recognizes the differences between the East / West corridors of Main Street versus downtown. It provides for additional streetscape design elements outside of downtown and mandates larger setbacks there while for the Downtown area it clearly states in 3.5.2 that all considerations for designation or change in the Downtown will be done in hand with the DIA. Clearly the Planning staff by-passed Town policy when they expanded the Main Street East study scope without any consultation. The expansion of the study boundaries has extended its reach into distinctive elements of local history of Grimsby village & the Downtown that should each be considered on their own merits as they have NOTHING to do with considerations of Main St East as a heritage district: • Main Street East - large 1890s1900s prosperous farms/ Garden of Canada era outside of Village of Grimsby political control. • Downtown Business district - this study mixes core commercial with unique residential sections •Oak / Elm / Mountain Streets 1860’s-1870s Grimsby village area developed with the Palmer Grout foundries manufacturing agricultural implements •Ontario / Depot Street / Adelaide neighborhoods - developed 1850s around the arrival of railway service. The Railway - to justify including the Ontario Street district, Planning’s rationalization was that Main St East farmers used the Railway station, a
justification that you rightly discredited. Their rationale is actually built on material misinformation. Yes, some farmers of Main Street East used the GTR village station but mostly indirectly if they had sold their produce to packers/shippers such as Niagara Packers who operated out of Grimsby’s railway station. Main Street East farms actually used other facilities which helped improve their service and profitability. They shipped fruit directly twice a day from nearby Grimsby Beach via steamers to Toronto markets. HG&B electric railway was their core service. They shipped on the HG&B electric railway directly to markets in Hamilton & the CPR in Hamilton who had direct connections with national customers. The HG&B picked up directly at each farm’s shipping platform as much as four times a day. All the farmer had to do was get the produce to his roadside platform for pickup; the HG&B freight conductors loaded and handled it from there. The HG&B partnered with the CPR to put air conditioned / ventilated freight cars on the electric railway route. This service took their product to Hamilton or area canners and packers such as the cannery on Robinson, on Livingston, E.D. Smith’s in Winona or Smith’s Beamsville cannery. Railway service - Main St East farmers needing rail service had no need to go to the Village GTR station. The GTR station at Park Road/Grimsby Beach station was much closer for most. Initially produce was picked up on the station platform there, then a 1/2 mile long siding was expressly built by the GTR at Park Road for handling Grimsby east fruit. What has being manifested with this study is most of the Planning Dept staff are non-Grimsby residents with little to no practical knowledge of Grimsby’s history yet they try to flex their “professional” heritage designations to infer they know what is best without considering the true background history or wishes of the community at large. (Editor’s Note: The above was submitted by Wayne Mullins, President of the Grimsby Historical Society)

Posters pilfered
As quick as posters went up around Murray Street Park on Saturday, the posters suggesting residents contact Grimsby council members regarding hunting on the lake issues were removed by bylaw officers surveying the area for the unwanted notices.
WLMH like Secretariat? For all the horseracing buffs out there, we’ve all seen frontrunners up by open lengths at the top of the stretch and we’re ready to head to the window to cash our tickets. That is how West Lincoln Memorial Hospital’s rebuild looks right now and we’re sure hoping it’s like Secretariat in the Belmont Stakes, when he went to the front and just kept going enroute to capturing the Triple Crown. WLMH’s rebuild marathon hits the “finish” line when shovels go in the ground and we’re one more step away – ONE! Amazing. Exciting....but keep the champagne in the bottle until we get that done! M.W.
Repeat as necessary, hunting bylaw needs to go There are lots of reasons I really despise social media, the least of which is not the quick and itchy trigger finger, the cancel culture society we now exist in has taken over. Social media breeds angst, peer pressure and anxiety to many. One wrong comment, or even a non-comment, and one gets buried under an avalanche of scorn. it’s the stuff of sitcoms if some of the circumstances weren’t so serious. It has ruined a generation and is working on another, now loaded with escalating anxiety issues in staggering numbers. Social media combined with the bubblewrapped, “we can’t possibly keep score for soccer games at recess because we don’t want anyone to lose” mentality has kids ill-prepared to deal with adversity, challenges and, in some cases, the bitterness of defeat. Well, It’s a good thing I grew up long before this era because I would have been chewed up and spit out decades ago. Last week was a good example of how, sometimes, it doesn’t matter what I actually say (or write) it only matters how some people perceive it. If you recall, last week’s offering was entitled, “No problem with hunters, but change bylaw back”. Both things are true and accurate. I don’t have an issue with hunters. I’ve got many family members and very good friends who are major hunting enthusiasts. They are, hunters I mean, good
MIKE WILLISCRAFT people, who simply enjoy the hobby of seeking out various creatures. In context, and when for a useful purpose, great. Go for it within the confines of the law...as the vast majority do. Now, if any of my friends or family were “hunting” – come on now, we all know nobody needs to ‘hunt’ ducks off the pumphouse or Murray Street Park as they are sitting right there every day – adjacent to a densely populated area I would have no problem giving them a smack in the back of the head and a “what the heck are you doing?” Now, that is my opinion, not because they are breaking any laws. The situation created by council is more about common sense and courtesy, so I expect little from them come Monday’s meeting where this topic will come up again. But who knows, new year, new council mentality? It is an election year after all thank God. The half of last week’s theme was, as the headline noted, the firearms bylaw needs to revert back to an outright ban with a buffer
out into Lake Ontario as is employed in other municipalities; plain and simple, game over. I really don’t think there should be any discharge of firearms or bow hunting below the escarpment at all, but that’s just me. There is simply no need for it. I don’t really care who started what or who asked for what or how we got where we are. Just step back and look the situation. Now, show me one person in town who would volunteer to have shotguns firing adjacent to their homes at 6:30-7 a.m. on a Sunday morning - or any morning for that matter. Hunting families don’t get to vote there due to the conflict of interest... Getting down to brass tacks here, hunters, by and large are good people, just like the rest of society. Because they hunt does not make them bad people in any shape of form and to point fingers at them for no good reason only detracts from what is the obvious issue in this case. That said, there are some rude and aggressive types - again their comments have been posted on social media for all to see in many cases - but those are in the minority. Simply, this should never have happened. The 1976 bylaw was up for review and that’s fine, but council (talking to the tone deaf five here) should have been thinking of residents here, not simply a private interest group which had direct input into the crafting of a bylaw which opened the door to what we see today.
