Grimsby council overhauls its operating system

Wanna jam?

John Baines offers a ukelele to his younger brother Matteo. The two were preparing for a jam session using some of the instruments provided by the Fun School of Music in celebration of Literacy Day at the Grimsby Public Library on Jan. 25. Also at the events were all sorts of arts & crafts, a menagerie of therapy dogs, live performances and much more. Marks - Photo.

By Mike Williscraft NewsNow While many items have been in a holding pattern for Grimsby Council over its first year, last week’s council meeting saw several major items brought up and approved with little or no prior discussion. Case in point, council opted to do a full overhaul of how it conducts business. A move to a committeeof-the-whole administrative style was approved. As well, council also adopted a new Code of Conduct, which includes a whistleblower policy that, in the minds of several councillors, was woefully incomplete when it comes providing a suitable process in which to file complaints. Because council got its first look at the proposed process changes - which will include dissolving all committees of council (and severing ties with lay members on its committees) - with its package on the Friday preceding the meeting, Coun. Reg Freake suggested deferring the document “to allow council a chance to digest” it. With insufficient support, that motion died. During discussion, Coun. Dorothy Bothwell outlined several short-comings with the report, among them: • Planning Committee’s (of which she is chair) meetings are long (avg. 2.75 hours) and since some municipalities keep planning separate, for that reason, she suggested that was appropriate here; • Currently, committee chairs are responsible for setting their agendas; See COUNCIL, Page 2

Livingston Extension needed by 2031: consultant By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Grimsby council and residents opposed to the Livingston Extension had better start boning up on how to file a Part 2 Order. That seemed to be the word from Monday night’s Public Information

Centre hosted by Niagara Region at the Casablanca Inn. While dozens of questions were posed throughout the session, which rain nearly three hours, the key and repeated questions were “why?” and “who decides?”. Consultant Paul Bumstead ex-

plained to the ballroom filled with about 120 people that projected growth plans in the area will require an additional east/west access by 2031 due to expected congestion along the South Service Road between Hunter and Casablanca Boulevard.

Jack Thompson of Niagara Region’s public works department said the extension is budgeted to cost about $10 million and it would take 8-10 years to complete from the start of the process. Attendees were grouped in tables See LIVINGSTON, Page 3

From Page 1 • With the size of projected agendas and extended length of meetings, agenda availability will have to be pushed back from its current Friday afternoon timeslot. On the point of managing agendas, Coun. Randy Vaine agreed with Bothwell somewhat noting he believes the mayor should act as chair of all. It would be up to the mayor as to how much direction he or she took from councillors on agenda suggestions. The notion of the committee-of-thewhole system was not of concern to council, generally, all noted there are favourable aspects to the new system, but implementing the report as presented was premature, said Coun. Lianne Vardy. It was also noted

there had been no previous discussion on the committee of the whole structure or public notice of any kind. “I don’t like losing our community (lay)members, their expertise and opinions,” added Vardy. “Currently, chairs drive their agendas. I am not willing to abdicate that to staff. Staff don’t represent the community. We represent the community.” Rotating chairs was also suggested as an option, but neither Vardy nor Bothwell thought that appropriate. Vardy cited strengths of several councillors Bothwell on planning, Freake on economics and Kadwell on public works - as reasons councillors’ strengths should be played to, not limited. In the end, the motion was approved as

presented in an 8-1 recorded vote. Vardy was the dissenting vote. While Bothwell voted in favour when the motion was called, she stipulated her vote in favour was based on adoption of suggestions she made about the report’s problems. There was no commitment on any of her suggestions, however. The motion called for the new process to be in place for meetings starting March 1 but Mayor Jeff Jordan confirmed Monday implementation will be delayed. “We have pushed off implementing the committee of the whole until at least April to allow for a more fulsome review of how we will implement it. The report received was incomplete and we needed to work on several aspects of the change to allow for a

smoother system and more transparency,” said Jordan. “There will also be more opportunity for public input and to gain understanding of the process, which is important.” PROMISSORY NOTE EXTENDED Council agreed to extend the $5.7 million promissory note the Town holds for Grimsby Power Inc. The Town receives about $240,000 annually in interest payments on the note. Coun. Randy Vaine said he preferred dissolve the agreement, adding, “It makes no sense. We don’t have enough food on the table but we continue to give food to others.” Coun. Dave Sharpe disagreed. “Maintaining the promissory note is the best thing to do for the Town,” said Sharpe.

at the event, with consultants addressing questions to experts related to the material. When traffic patterns were honed in on as the key motivator for putting the extension through, many questioned the traffic study and whether or not the cart was being put before the horse. “What is the point of origin for these motorists? Is the extension being put through to facilitate projected traffic growth or will putting the extension through then facilitate growth that will lead to increased traffic?” - was one question. “Where are these people coming from?” Much of the process at this point is educated guesswork and this area is no different, so there was no concrete answer. After the meeting, that was one talking point of many in the audience.

News Now • Thursday, January 30, 2020 • Page 3 On the question of “who decides”, many questions were posed about the role and impact the Town of Grimsby’s stance will have on the process. Thompson told those in attendance Grimsby council’s opinion was the EA should be stopped entirely, but that was a false claim. The Town passed a motion last June, again, formally laying out for regional officials that the municipality does not approve of the extension as an option and wanted it removed from plans. There was no opposition to the EA as a whole or development in the area. “A resolution was already put forward in June, stating that Council does not support the Livingston Avenue extension...” noted an email from Grimsby clerk Sarah Kim to public works earlier this month. One suggestion made was to combine two op-

tions - redevelopment of Main Street between Oakes Road and Casablanca as well as the South Service Road between Hunter and Casablanca instead of the extension option. Bumstead said this was not an ideal option because it would add to drive times and slow traffic. “A one-minute drive may become 4-5 minutes,” he said. He added that the QEW “does not play a role in moving traffic for the purposes of this study.” In a bit of foreshadowing, one of the last questions asked for an explanation of how to file a Part 2 Order, which is an appeal of an EA finding. It was also noted the results of the EA go the Ministry of the Environment and do not go to Region or the Town of Grimsby for approval. The appeal window will be 30 or 45 days, but it was uncertain as of Monday’s meeting.

It’s RRSP Season!

For the financial services industry, this time of year is all about RRSPs - with the plan being that any RRSPs you purchase now - while you are still working, will provide that supplementary income you’ll most likely need once you fully retire from the workforce. Too often, financial advisors place more emphasis on the “savings” part of one’s retirement plan, with little or no discussion on how the “debt” will be effectively managed. If you are approaching retirement in the next three to five years, and you want to continue to live in your home well past the time of your retirement, then I strongly encourage you to take some time now to plan for that. Managing your debt is my area of expertise. Your home maintenance costs will not change; You will still have property taxes and home repair expenses. Also, as you age, you may have to start out-sourcing some chores that you currently do yourself. Your success at obtaining credit is dependent on your income The more you earn, the more you can borrow. It is much easier to be approved for a home equity line of credit, or a 30-year amortization mortgage, while you are still gainfully employed. You may not need the credit until much later in life, but at that point, your options may be limited to a more costly solution, such as a Reverse Mortgage. I encourage you to speak with me today about your future mortgage needs. Talk to Us. You’ll be Impressed.

Best Fish & Chips in Town Immanuel An didn’t know what to think the first time he tried fish and chips. The South Korean-born An was studying for his MBA in London, England, when he, his wife Jessica, and their two young children had their first taste of the British staple. “To be honest with you, the first time, I didn’t know what to think. It’s different,” An said. Today, more than 20 years after his introduction to English-style fish and chips, An has more definite ideas about the popular take-away meal. Fish and chips has become a way of life for him and Jessica as the founders of Union Jack Fish and Chips, a local chain with six locations and 35 employees throughout Niagara and into Burlington. Serving battered fish filets and fries is also the new Canadians’ way of building community and saying thanks to their adopted homeland. “(Canada) gave our country freedom (during the Korean War),” An said. “We’re so proud of our Canadian citizenship. Because of your blood, your sacrifice, we have our freedom. We want

to say thank you to our customers.” Still, it was the couple’s own sacrifice — and tenacity — that got them where they are today, with a growing restaurant chain and global aspirations. When the Ans came to Canada in 2006, landing in Port Colborne, they struggled to find work despite their education. English was a challenge and money wasn’t plentiful. An prayed for a break. He got it one day when a member of his church suggested opening a fish and chips shop in town. An ran with the idea and opened his first restaurant in 2008. Every day was a new challenge, from deep fryers breaking to a trialby-fire introduction to fish Fridays and learning which filet was which.

Still, they persevered. An became skilled at making the dishes on his menu, which he continuously refines to meet customers’ needs, including with gluten-free offerings made from scratch every day and cooked in a separate fryer. And together, he and Jessica, a talented pianist, who’s performed for customers at the restaurant and elsewhere in the community as a token of thanks, built a loyal fol-

lowing. A year after opening Union Jack in Port Colborne, they launched a second location in St. Catharines, and started racking up multiple “best” awards with the help of their dedicated, hardworking staff. An hopes their story will inspire other new Canadians that anything is possible. The secret to their success extends beyond their gratitude for the growth of Union Jack, however. It also includes their dedication to serving high quality food they’re proud to serve. Fries are cut fresh every day at all Union Jack

locations. Batter is mixed daily. Coleslaw is added to every order. And so is love. If An ever loses sight of that — and his goal to make Union Jack a global brand with stores throughout the world — he turns to the sign above the door to the kitchen in every Union Jack outlet reminding him why he’s there. “I’m a business man. Business men make money but my philosophy with Union Jack is to make friends and family,” An said. “Thanks to God, who provides everything we need He’s our living hope.”

No injuries at Willow Lane fire A Grimsby resident was able to escape from a townhouse fire on Saturday, Jan. 24, thanks to an early warning from a smoke alarm, said Grimsby’s acting fire chief Bill Thompson. The town’s firefighters responded to a fire on Willow Lane at approximately 11:20 a.m. According to Thompson the fire originated with a laundry dryer in the building’s third storey. “Early warning from a working smoke alarm saved the life of a resident and prevented significant structural damage to the townhouse complex,” said Thompson. “Fire crews performed an offensive attack and contained the fire to room of origin.” He added that it took the firefighters approximately six minutes after arrival to the scene to get the fire under control. The fire was estimated to have caused $20,000 worth of damage.

NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT AND VISIONING PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE SMITHVILLE MASTER COMMUNITY PLAN – TOWNSHIP OF WEST LINCOLN

The Study The Township of West Lincoln (The Township) has initiated a Master Community Plan Study to plan for future growth in the Community of Smithville (see figure for study area). A Subwatershed Study is also being undertaken to address environmental and stormwater considerations associated with the Twenty Mile Creek Watershed and support the Master Community Plan Study, including the potential identification of the preferred area(s) for urban boundary expansion.

SUBWATERSHED STUDY & MASTER COMMUNITY PLAN STUDY AREA

Planning Framework The Master Community Plan is being developed under the Planning Act and is integrated with the infrastructure planning in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association’s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Water, Wastewater and Roads (as amended in 2015) Master Plan Approach #4. This approach is desirable for long term planning where interdependent decisions which impact servicing and land use are being made and the range of servicing alternatives needs to be addressed in an integrated fashion, so as to recommend the best overall solution for the Community. Together with the Environmental Assessment Act, the Master Community Plan will include the location of arterial and collector roads, distribution and density of land uses, water and wastewater (including stormwater) servicing, environmental protection and sustainable design policies. The Plan will identify the preferred approach to phasing that will guide future development and address all infrastructure requirements for any selected urban expansion area(s). The Plan will also support amendments to the Regional Municipality of Niagara and Township of West Lincoln Official Plans. How to Participate? The Township would like anyone with an interest in the Study to have an opportunity to provide input and help inform the decision-making process. Four (4) Public Information Centers (PICs) will be held over the course of the Integrated Master Community Plan and Class EA Study to obtain input. The PICs will present the purpose and scope of the Study, describe existing and future study area conditions and review alternative solutions.This will include proposed land use concepts. To learn more and stay up to date please, visit the project website at: http://westlincoln.ca/?page_id=7347. Comments are encouraged now and over the course of the Study. If you have comments, require further information or would like to be added to the Study’s mailing list to receive

future notifications, please contact: Gerrit Boerema Planner II Township of West Lincoln 318 Canborough Street, Smithville ON gboerema@westlincoln.ca

3rd Annual

Volunteer Pay Subscription Drive

“The newspaper is a greater treasure to the people than uncounted millions of gold.” - Henry Ward Beecher Dear Reader,

It is that time of year, again, for us to humbly seek your support. Over the last several weeks, many readers have ventured in our door asking if it was time to renew their volunteer pay subscriptions. It is that time. To be extremely clear, everyone who chooses to should be and continue to receive their weekly edition of NewsNow regardless of any contribution made to support our LOCAL, independent community Newspaper. NewsNow has continued to not only survive but grow slowly in the face of corporate competition and limited digital media pressure and we look forward to serving our dedicated readers and advertisers in the decade to come and long beyond!

Based on the excellent feedback from last year’s volunteer pay subscription drive, we are launching Year 3! Is NewsNow’s independent, accurate voice in the community of value to you? Would you like to support NewsNow in its efforts? This is your opportunity.

If yes, we have set up an infrastructure to allow for a Volunteer Pay System

Simply, this means, rain (or snow) or shine, you will always – each and every week – receive your copy of NewsNow. That will NOT change!!!! The one thing we have adjusted is the suggested amound - but any amount is greatly appreciated - for the suggested donation amount after the vast majority who supported us said, “Why so cheap?” For that reason:

Subscriptions: 3 Months - $15 suggested • One Year - $40 suggested

We will back HST out of each payment to make things as simple as possible. You can pay by cheque (bring into the office or mail), credit card (call Catherine or Rose at 289-235-9500) or e-transfer (send to: subscriptions@wn3.ca - make security answer - newsnow ) For more information, please do not hesitate to call, email or drop in. All inquiries are welcome!! Thanks very much for your time and Happy New Year to all,

Grimsby’s Dave Drew to represent Canada at amateur driving event After a lifelong connection with harness racing, Grimsby’s Dave Drew is going to get to do something next month he has never done before – drive in a race a Pompano Park, Fla. Drew will represent Canada at the 2020 World Cup Amateur Driving Championship on Feb. 24-25 there. In his career, Drew has driven at 60 tracks in North America, but Pompano is not one of them. “I am really honoured to be chosen and wear the Canadian racing colours. It will be a thrill,” said Drew, noting he will use the same colours used by James McDonald when he won the 2017 World Driving Championship. “Drivers come from all

over the world, so part of the event is a reception where we’ll get a chance to meet and talk. Going to Gulf Stream Park is also part of the

DAVE DREW

itinerary.” As a trainer, by far, Drew’s biggest win came with a stunning upset by his millionaire pacer, Modern Legend, who powered home to be thrash an excellent field of horses in the 2014 Canadian Pacing Derby. As a driver, his shining moment came at The Meadowlands when he won the 2007 Delvin Miller Silver Cup, part of the C. K. G. Billings Driving Series. “I was very pleased with that,” said Drew. As for the event ahead, Drew is ready. “I’m looking forward to it. Post position and trainers having the horses ready is a big part of it. I applaud all the owners and trainers for making this happen,” he said.

Remodeling says that water recirculation systems provide ondemand hot water. In such systems, hot water may continuously run through the pipes or there may be a pump underneath a sink. Either way, one needn’t wait for the water to warm up any longer. • Glass-free shower: Soap scum and water deposits can form on shower doors, even for homeowners who are diligent with cleaning. A sizable shower prevents water spray and affords the ability to forgo glass doors or curtains, thereby cutting down on cleaning and

HOME IMPROVEMENT Organize and declutter room-by-room Tackling messes no matter where they are lurking is not a onetime project. Much like losing weight and getting healthy, clearing a home of clutter requires dedication and lifestyle changes. With these organizational tips and tricks, anyone can work through their home room-by-room and conquer clutter. A SPACE FOR EVERYTHING Clutter creeps up as people accumulate possessions over the years. Over time, failure to regularly go through belongings and thin the herd can lead to the accumu-

lation of clutter. But clutter also can accumulate if people fail to find a place to put items. Racks for garages, organizational systems for closets and furniture with storage capacity, such as storage ottomans, are some storage solutions that can help people find a place for their possessions. VERTICAL SPACE Getting items up and off the floor can maximize square footage in a home. Bookshelves, hanging wall shelves, hooks, cabinetry, builtins, and other storage solutions that rely on walls and ceilings are

simple and effective storage solutions. Unused space behind cabinet or closet doors are some additional places to store belongings. SORTING SYSTEM Home offices can be some of the more disorganized rooms in a house simply due to the volume of electronics and paperwork within them. Use a color-coded system for important files to keep them organized. PUT IT AWAY When you finish using an item, return it to its storage location. This eliminates piles of belongings strewn around the house -

and hunting and pecking for missing things. If you can’t put it away immediately, have a few baskets on hand labeled for the different rooms in the house. Pop the items in the requisite baskets and then routinely take each basket around the house to return the items. Investing in custom cabinetry and organizational systems also can help people organize their belongings. Tackle rooms such as the garage, basements, bedroom closets, and pantries, or those areas that tend to accumulate clutter the fastest.
