DSBN claims it was initially unaware super school site contaminated By Mike Williscraft NewsNow The new Niagara West super school money pit will get deeper - and now has the attention of the Ministry of Education - before things get any better. As first reported in NewsNow Dec. 31, the site for the new Niagara West high school has incurred $17.4 million in site remediation costs. Kim Sweeney, District School Board of Niagara’s chief communications officer, confirmed the project has incurred well over $12 million in cost overruns after $5 million was budgeted for site preparation when the land acquisition was approved by the school board in February 2019. This is only one of the significant issues the project has at this early stage. According to an internal memo, another
$3.3 million in remaining work to prepare the site is still outstanding. As well, DSBN officials went ahead with the extra work not only without the Ministry of Education’s knowledge, but there was no approval to proceed (ATP ) with the work which resulted in the additional $12.4 million cost overrun. Despite the information in the report, Sweeney maintains the added cost is not in play. “The information about the $3.3 (million) is incorrect. There is no additional $3.3 million worth of work needed on the site before construction of West Niagara Secondary can begin,” noted Sweeney in email responses to questions. The school board had to request, after the fact, approval to use $12 million from its proceeds of disposition (POD)
account to cover the financial hit. It is still unclear if this has been approved at this time. Sweeney said the Ministry of Education has now approved the use of POD funds. “The additional $12 million did not come from the Ministry of Education but came from the DSBN’s Proceeds of Disposition. However, before we were able to use these funds, we had to get approval from the Ministry of Education,” Sweeney said. When NewsNow broke the first story three weeks ago, comments poured into the office, many asking how DSBN could not have known the soil problems with its chosen site were extensive. Among them was Bob Thompson, who even wrote to DSBN’s Grimsby Lincoln Trustee Elizabeth Klassen in August 2019 See SOIL, Page 2

WLMH rebuild garners $12.6 million Region support By Mike Williscraft NewsNow With Lincoln Reg. Coun. Rob Foster in the lead-off position and Grimsby Mayor hitting clean up, Niagara West officials got 21 per cent - $12.6 million - in financial support for West Lincoln Memorial Hospital’s rebuild across the plate last Thursday. Niagara West officials pushed for the same 21 per cent of the local share of its hospital’s capital cost, the same as St. Catharines received in 2007. That level of funding was called into question when regional staff recommended 18 per cent be the funding ceiling and then WLMH would have to be run through a newly designed scoring matrix. The matrix would have only recommended 84 per cent of the 18 per cent proposed maximum, $9.07 million. During debate on the matrix, Foster said something was “missing” from the formula, adding there was no
consideration for a rural hospital versus a “big city” hospital. “A number of the questions don’t apply in the more rural setting,” Foster noted. “I don’t see where the differences come into play. It seems it is some punishment to Grimsby, possibly for not doing their Secondary plan around the hospital.” Niagara Region’s acting CAO Ron Tripp said staff and consultant Erin O’Hoski worked as quickly as possible to prepare the report for the committee of the whole budget session. “We’ve done everything we can to meet this timeline,” said Tripp. Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton said factors other than straight statistics, however, should also be considered. She said regional officials should not look at ways “out of funding”. “Good will has to play a part in it,” said Easton, when looking after the health and well being
SOIL From Page 1 - four months into the work “The soil remediation is taking a long time. Is there a problem?” To which Klassen replied, “The soil remediation is on schedule and I am not aware of any delays. Findings were only some construction items such as wood in the soil that we must remove.” Sweeney confirmed the school board apparently knew nothing of the serious issues about 25 per cent of the way through the remediation process, which “lasted for approximately 18 months.” The problems, Sweeney said, started some time in Fall 2019. “During the process of removing the fill -- through constant inspection, testing and reporting -- it was discovered that additional quantities of fill over
of our community. Both Tripp and Todd Harrison, commissioner of corporate services, insisted the St. Catharines build got an 18 per cent contribution from Niagara Region $21 million on its $116.9 million local share. However, Jordan stepped up to the plate for Niagara West to show otherwise. Jordan noted the regional benchmark was established when $21 million was approved by council on a thenlocal share set at $100 million - 21 per cent. There was no dispute that the St. Catharines local share escalated to $116.9 after that, but with Region’s commitment not changing, that is what reduced the contribution to 18 per cent, not the initial commitment. “West Lincoln Memorial is at the same point,” said Jordan of 21 per cent contributed to St. Catharines. “To be equitable the same 21 per cent should apply in this case.”
and above what was originally estimated would have to be removed,” Sweeney said. “The remediation process was done in complete consultation with environmental engineers and the Ministry of Environment – it followed strict protocols and regulations.” “The DSBN is committed to having a safe and clean site for the future students of WNSS (West Niagara Secondary School)... The remediation work on the site is now complete.” In answer to other concerns about site stability and fill needs based on the size of the hole currently covering the site, Sweeney said all required work has been done to ensure no special measures will be needed during construction. “The excavation and filling re-
Jordan added the scoring matrix “may work down the road, but scoring and flaws in it are too great in my mind.” While much of the debate was very supportive of Niagara West representation’s stance, there was opposition, both to the $12.6 million ask and the ignoring of the new matrix formula. Pelham Reg. Coun. Diana Huson said she was frustrated by the process and wished the funding matrix had been in place for St. Catharines in 2007. She noted corporate services was tasked with coming up with a funding model and they “landed on this model”. “If we don’t like the number, we can’t just throw it out.” Pelham Mayor Marv Junkin seemed to encapsulate the opinion of most on regional council, noting Niagara West had essentially served its time and was deserving of the 21 per
cent support WLMH supporters suggested. “We have to use a number. We choose a number that is agreeable to the majority of us,” said Junkin. “You can’t tell me people of this region don’t believe in hospitals. I think of the Region as a whole over 20 years. They (Niagara West residents) have carried the torch and it’s time this council... we’ve got to grab the ball here. What are the residents comfortable with and get on with it. The people of West Niagara deserve that.” Voting in favour of the $12.6 million funding commitment were: Grimsby Mayor Jeff Jordan, Lincoln Reg. Coun. Rob Foster, Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton, West Lincoln Mayor Dave Bylsma, West Lincoln Reg. Coun. Albert Witteveen, Grimsby Reg. Coun. Wayne Fertich, Pelham Mayor Marv Junkin, Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati, Welland Mayor Frank
quired to build the school on this site has been completed. The way the land is currently developed is due to the design of the building which has three storeys in the back, and two storeys in the front,” noted Sweeney, who added the back is a walk-out design. “The fill on the site has been engineered in preparation for the building. No additional stabilization supports are required to begin construction on the school.” None of this has provided Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff with any level of comfort. “I have been clear since the beginning of this process that the community preference which I have heard, was for maintenance and investing in our existing local schools, by DSBN,” said Oosterhoff.
Campion, Welland Reg. Coun. Pat Chiocchio, Niagara Falls Reg. Coun. Peter Nicholson, Thorold Reg. Coun. Tim Whalen, Niagara-onthe-Lake Mayor Betty Disero, Wainfleet Mayor Kevin Gibson, Thorold Mayor Terry Ugilini and St. Catharines Reg. Coun. George Darte. Those opposed in the 16-9 vote, with three conflicts of interest declared, were: Port Colborne Reg. Coun. Barb Butters, St. Catharines Reg. Coun. Brian Heit, Welland Reg. Coun. Leanna Vilella, Pelham Reg. Coun. Diana Huson, St. Catharines Reg. Coun. Laura Ip, St. Catharines Reg. Coun. Kelly Edgar, Niagara Falls Reg. Coun. Barbara Greenwood, Niagara-on-theLake Reg. Coun. Gary Zalepa and St. Catharines Reg. Coun. Tim Rigby. The matter will come to full regional council tonight, Jan. 17, to be ratified and included in the municipality’s budget.
“That’s why I fought against the closure of these schools in the hearts of our towns.” Regardless, he added taxpayers are right to expect better. “The taxpayers of Niagara and Ontario rightly expect value for money when it comes to major projects such as this, and I am disappointed to see such substantial overages from DSBN,” said Oosterhoff. “I will be asking for a review of the reasons for this overage from DSBN, and will bring this also to the attention of the Minister of Education.” As well, Oosterhoff said he would be requesting a joint meeting with DSBN and Ministry of Education officials to apprise all of the current state of affairs with the new super school project.
Development killing tourism Not all that long ago, Grimsby had an enthusiastic group of people who were trying to encourage more tourists to come to our town. More visitors would make us feel proud of Grimsby, and also stimulate businesses by staying in hotels and B&Bs, dining in our restaurants, and shopping. What happened to that dream? It seems that our future is just more development which will discourage tourists.If you were to come to Grimsby as a visitor, what would you see and do? You might visit our well-known Art Gallery, or the Grimsby Historical Society’s Archives which abounds with heritage and genealogical information. You could drive five or six km south to our major sports complex, South-
A Small Drop of Ink By Dorothy Turcotte ward Park, or walk up the Forty Mile Creek Trail to the Bruce Trail, or have a look at the painted cottages at Grimsby Beach. Then what? The old Place Polonaise property would have made a wonderful waterfront park that would surely lure motorists from the QEW – but it’s now all development. For decades there was talk of a golf course and recreation complex on The Bench east of Park Road, but that’s all development now, too. Our shoreline has not been nurtured to provide improvements to our natural beaches. Nelles Beach has a boat launch ramp, but as far as I can tell, it’s
unuseable, and you can’t even get to the beach. What a shame, when there is a lovely park right there. The point I’m trying to make is that Grimsby has, or has had, a lot of possibilities for tourism. Unfortunately, no one is championing our advantages to make the most of them. Instead, the emphasis seems to be on development and condos, especially in places where they are most unsuitable. The people of Grimsby have made their wishes known. In the most recent municipal election, almost the entire council and its mayor were dumped, specifically for not listening to the taxpayers/voters. Perhaps it will happen again in the next election for history does repeat itself.

The Condo Conundrum! A word of caution to anyone who is planning to purchase a pre-construction, new-build condominium;
The deposit(s) you pay to the builder will influence the interim occupancy calculation; Simply put, the less your deposit, the more you’ll pay each month for the interim occupancy! “Interim occupancy” refers to that period of time when you are “occupying” the unit but the legal title has not yet passed to you. An interim occupancy period can last anywhere from a couple months to a couple years. The interim occupancy fee is payable by the interim occupant and includes: • monthly interest on the unpaid balance of the purchase price (at the prescribed rate as set out in the Condominium Act of Ontario, which essentially comprises a rate equivalent to a one-year fixed term mortgage); • reasonable monthly estimate of municipal taxes; Most builders calculate this tax component by taking the purchase price and multiplying it by 1%. This amount is then divided by 12 to arrive at the monthly component; • the projected monthly common expense contribution. A buyer has the right to pay any unpaid balance of the purchase price on assuming interim occupancy - but the decision to do that has to be made early on. Can you negotiate the amount of lump-sum payment that you can make at time of interim occupancy, so as to reduce your interim occupancy fee? This would be an important term of the agreement for any purchaser who plans to pay a larger downpayment than just the initial deposit (think mortgage-free homeowners looking to down-size, or “super-saver” first-time homebuyers). Some pre-planning before signing is always recommended! If you’d like more information on this topic, please contact me. I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate your new-build purchase!

Lincoln clients with healthy, nutritious food, sourced from local food growers and businesses. With the onset of COVID-19, CCWN has experienced an ongoing increase in clients. This project aims to fill the gaps between the supply and demand for food Lincoln is currently experiencing. There has been a significant decrease in donations from residents due to the impact of job loss. This coupled with a decline in the labour force will significantly impact the demand for CCWN services.

The many benefits of simply walking The health-conscious adults used to exercising at local gyms have had to find new ways to exercise in the wake of the pandemic. Many gyms were forced to close in areas hit hard by COVID-19, and that left many people without access to fitness equipment. Though walking might not provide the same level of intensity that fitness enthusiasts are accustomed to, there are many ways walking benefits the body. • Walking protects against heart disease and stroke. Walking strengthens the heart and protects it against heart disease. Studies have also found that walking lowers blood pressure. • Walking can extend one’s life. One study has linked walking to longer life expectancy, finding that people who exercise regularly in their fifties and sixties were 35 per cent less likely to die over the next eight years than people who never walked. • Walking can improve mood. One study found that the more steps people taking during the day, the better their moods were. • Walking can lower risk for cognitive decline. Walking also has been linked to a lower risk for age-related cognitive decline. Foot traffic increased as people were forced to find new ways to exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Walking is a great way to stay in shape and
even provides some lesser known benefits
for people who walk each day. YES, WE’RE

Mandley, Erin Maureen
May 6, 1960 - January 6, 2021 After a brief illness, Erin passed away at her home in Grimsby. Remembered for her joy of cooking and sharing the spoils with the neighbours and for her wonderful sense of humor. She made others happy. Also for that terrific right hook one day that has become legendary around here. Erin’s schooling from Laura Secord, Niagara College and McMaster University led her to the health-care field where she shared her compassion for helping others. When Erin entered heaven she was reunited with her father Leroy and will be sadly missed by her husband Allan, her mother Merilyn, sisters Cheryl, Ruth, Maggie her brother Jimmy and many nieces and nephews. Erin cherished her niece Ceili and was grateful for her close friendship with Marilyn and Dave. It was Erin’s zest for life that first attracted me to her. It was Erin’s capacity to care for others that endured her to me over the years. She was one whose virtues would have been less powerful without her imperfections. You will always be my “Jenny”, I know what love is. A celebration of Erin’s life will be held at a later date. If desired donations can be made to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada in Erin’s name.

They were married in 1970 and went on to spend 51 years together, raising their four children, Allyson, Emily, Jeremy and Adam. Steve was a great athlete, playing 10 seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders that included 3 Grey Cup appearances.

He had a quiet nature but had a huge impact on those around him through football, professional accolades, and friendship. Our heartfelt thanks to the caregivers who loved and cared for him at the United Mennonite Home in Vineland, Ontario and to Father Krzysztof Szczepanik for all his help along the way.

Boja came to Canada in 1958 to her brother Mane and sister-in-law Eunice Srdić. Here she met her husband Rade and made a beautiful life together. She was known for her classy style and vibrant outgoing personality. She loved company and even more, a good sing along of the old folk songs from her youth. She was a good cook and relished making specialty cakes for relatives and friends. She was a long-time volunteer for the St. Nicholas Church Circle of Serbian Sisters in Hamilton and enjoyed time spent in the Serbian church community and the Ravna Gora Chetnik Organization all over North America. We know she is singing and dancing in heaven with all her family and friends who have gone on before her. Visitation and funeral liturgy were held.

Election season?
The natives are restless already, as this sign on Main Street East attests as the homeowners appear to have concerns about their Grimsby Ward 3 representatives - Coun. John Dunstall and Coun. Randy Vaine. (Submitted Photo)
Regional council support was fair Concern about appropriate spending in a municipal budget is always welcome and necessary. Niagara Region councillors raking over the 21 per cent support request for West Lincoln Memorial Hospital is still perplexing just the same. Regional staffers tried to tell last week’s committee of the whole budget session, WLMH should only be entitled to request up to 18 per cent of the local capital cost share (which is $60 million of the current $200 million budget). The difference is very, very simple. In 2007, regional council approved 21 per cent ($21 million) support for St. Catharines’ new hospital which was budgeted at $100 million for its local share at the time. When costs escalated to $116.9 million by 2009, the regional support stayed at $21 million, hence dropping the per cent to 18. WLMH is in the 2007 boat now. Costs could still go up, but regional support will not, so the same 21 per cent support is in order and it will not rise. M.W.
Info flow needs improving Think of all the arguments, discussions, debates you have ever had with a friend, wife/husband, common law spouse or any other configuration of relationship you can conjure in your memory. When the “just tell me one time...”, or, “give me a for instance...” line comes out, the conversation comes to an abrupt halt, if not significantly sidetracked. It is always hard to think back to one occurrence which may have precipitated an issue. Typically, an issue arises over time to the point where it becomes a focal point with which it must be dealt. The point, as is typical, of a motion offered by Grimsby Coun. Dorothy Bothwell on Monday was completely missed when she asked if a process could be initiated to have department heads make regular presentations to council to keep them at least connected to the information pipeline that is town hall. The answer from CAO Harry Schlange, nope, we’re good. If you think back several meetings to Dec. 21 during debate regarding the Heritage Conservation District issue for Main Street East, it was first brought up that a five-storey parking garage had been discussed between a developer and staff. Councillors knew nothing about it until a rumour floated their way and then a question could be asked. It was also noted in debate that a developer had submitted a plan already to town hall which far exceeded height requirements according to bylaws for Main Street East. This, too, was news to councillors at the time. Meanwhile, the Main East heritage issue had been burning hotter than Canada Day fireworks, yet no com-
MIKE WILLISCRAFT munication was forthcoming on either of these particular potential projects. Yet the Town’s CAO’s comment to the request for a regular stream of information was, “I find as your CAO, I am responsible to operational measures...This notice of motion is operational in nature.” This is code for - go away. Of course, Team Harry’s crew took the bait. “When I look at the video screen, I see a host of names,” said Coun. John Dunstall. “They’re all there. This is wonderful to see us doing this team approach.” This is the first complete miss in that, if staff are parked there already, how much more of a burden could a few-minute overview of department happenings be? Even those few minutes of investment would help, as Bothwell and Coun. Lianne Vardy both mentioned the negative impact to council of the new committee of the whole format. Gone are the days when some give-andtake with staff could be done during sub-committee meetings. Staff are now largely removed from that connection with council and wrapped in their CAO cocoon. Coun. Dave Kadwell said Monday all is great, now that staff are there, council doesn’t have to defer items
like they used to. “I am very happy we’re on this path with committee of the whole,” he trumpeted. Now, just looking at the last couple of meetings, both the HCD matter and a rather tragic economic development outline for downtown were both deferred with council determining they needed more thought - and there have been others. By going to COTW and details not presented, worked through and discussed, the Town of Grimsby is in a considerably more weakened position as a result; to the point where Coun. Dave Sharpe wondered aloud if council should revert back to the sub-committee system “It might be valid to say go back to the standing committees,” said Sharpe, with his most on-point comment in some time. One can go back and forth on this all day. The simple issue is, do you want to work with people, communicate, and move the municipality forward? Or do you want to play games, put up walls and make councillors dance just to get themselves in an informed position. It really does boil down to that. To take the position of the CAO and Grimsby 5 amigos, it creates a similar position with which I am familiar, which arises when dealing with regional police. I have to know about 60-70 per cent about an incident before I can extract more information. If my queries are too general, I may get a tidbit, but I really don’t know enough to push to serious details. Now, Grimsby councillors are in a boat they should not be in. They should not have to know what is happening just to flesh out details from staff. Information should be forthcoming, always.

Readers wants DSBN explanation Information to councillors
Dear Editor, The Dec. 31 article about the site for the new high school and the letter from Mr. Jaworsky prompted me to find emails to and from my trustee back in August/September 2019. One of my questions at that time asked about the soil remediation. “Is there a problem? What are they finding in the ground? Will it delay the opening?” The answer was, “The soil remediation is on schedule and I am not aware of any delays. Findings were only some construction items such as wood in the soil that we must remove.” My follow up stated that “My first question was due to several old-timers saying that many things were buried there over the years, ie vehicles”. The response was, “The
LETTERS Ministry of Environment has only found wood fibres related to construction/farming. We are assured that the soil is safe.” So what are we missing? My trustee would have been checking with members of the administration for those answers Were they accurate? What would have changed in the last year? If problems arose was it reported? This type of cost overrun should have had approval from someone. The taxpayers are owed an explanation from either our trustees, DSBN administration, our MPP or the provincial government. Robert Thompson, Vineland
“Construction items” only contaminants: Aug. 2019 (Editor’s Note: The following is an email inquiry from Aug. 23, 2019 from Robert Thompson to DSBN Trustee Elizabeth Klassen. Hello, I have a few questions concerning the new school that I hope you will be able to answer or get answers for me. The soil remediation is taking a long time. Is there a problem? What are they finding in the ground? Will it delay the opening? Will the new school be completely air conditioned? Not just certain areas as rumoured earlier. In light of Doug Ford’s increased class sizes has consideration been given to the actual physical dimensions of the classrooms? Let me explain. I taught in a high school that was built in the 60s. The rooms were large enough for a class of 42 students. We thankfully got to classes with a smaller average, so that when an addition was added the new classrooms were a different shape
and were noticeably smaller. Even 30 students made them crowded. Apparently this was the new Ministry standard. The Board knows that larger class sizes are coming that will be over 30. Lets make plans in advance. Will there be a playing field with a track? Thank you for your assistance, Robert Thompson (Editor’s Note: Trustee Elizabeth Klassen’s Aug. 26 response to Mr. Thompson’s inquiry. Hi Bob, in answer to your questions see the following: 1. The soil remediation is on schedule and I am not aware of any delays. Findings were only some construction items such as wood in the soil that we must remove. 2. The new school will not be completely air conditioned, however there are some areas that will be. There are air exchange systems that are supposed to be quite remarkable in keeping the school
within reasonable temperatures. Along wth updated technology, we have seen in our other builds that temperatures are better controlled than in our older schools. 3. Class sizes remain the same was the last news I have heard. We are also not losing any staff due to our balanced budget. Don’t let the media influence you, it seems they have been all over education recently. There are varying class designs and sizes based on our superintendent’s experience and history with other builds. Our funding is only for the number of students we have now. We cannot exceed that so we will be doing the best we can with the funds and needs we have. 4. I’m not sure what you mean by a playing field. If you could clarify, I will answer your question. Thanks so much for your questions and please feel free to contact me with any further concerns you may have! Elizabeth
should not be stifled: writer
Dear Editor, Once again, we’re into the fray of secrecy at council. Last evening’s council meeting (Jan. 18/2020) was painful to watch. Before the Vimeo feed froze, we witnessed a pitiful example as to where things have gone so horribly wrong. Coun. Bothwell, speaking for all of us out here in the “Plebeian Horde” (AKA Citizens of Grimsby) and two of the eight councillors, proposed in her motion to Committee of the Whole that it would be advantageous for council members be able to ask questions directly of the Town’s department heads regarding what the “H” they are
doing. Sounds like openness and transparency to me! What a novel idea! Imagine council members not having to be satisfied with the reading notes prepared by staff - by the way, Coun. Ritchie said was adequate and that his colleagues should read, like he does. Imagine, if you will a process wherein our elected representatives are allowed to represent our interests instead of being forced to act solely upon the information which CAO Schlange allows them (and us) to know. For example, and this was a point made by Coun. Vardy, deci-
sions are being made by the Town’s planning department as to development in Grimsby. This is a topic which should, by necessity, be considered by the entire council, yet CAO Schlange continues to restrict, oppose, and hide how decisions are made. Hence, we are forced to watch, and wonder why our heritage and our community are starting to look like Burlington. It is time the G5, and CAO Schlange, start acting like they are working in our (the citizens of Grimsby’s) behalf and stop the “emperor and his henchmen” act. Bud Hightower, Ward 3
