Province agrees to compensate Grimsby for Greenbelt land work By Mike Williscraft NewsNow A week after Grimsby council approved a request for compensation from the pro-

vincial government for work done on the Greenbelt land file, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Paul Calandra has con-

firmed payment will be coming. “Compensation was a priority of council because of the demands that were put on our

staff to expedite the process on those two Greenbelt parcels in town,” said Mayor Jeff Jordan. “We appreciate the

Sparkling creations

Province being so expeditious in responding to our request we just approved last week. Now we hope they will consider

keeping at least one of those parcels out of the Greenbelt, especially since it was never intended for inclusion.” See GREENBELT, Page 3

The sparkling ‘Sunshine Acrylics’ made by Carolyn Barnett caught the attention of (L-R) Mason Schram, 11, Kyson Shipton, 1, and Kieran Shipton, 3, Saturday at the West Lincoln Memorial Auxiliary craft show held at Mountainview Church in Grimsby.

GREENBELT

From Page 1 Calandra made the announcement Monday and reinforced that information to Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff as well. “I have spoken with the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Paul Calandra, and he has committed to reimbursing the Town of Grimsby for any costs associated with the Greenbelt parcels,” said Oosterhoff. “I also pushed for a rapid refund, and he told me he is working to get the funds out by the end of the year. The numbers are still preliminary, but I understand it to be around $88,000. In the mix of stories across the province, many have cited a

consultant with a Progressive Conservative party connection was lobbying the provincial, regional and local government to have the parcel of land between Oakes Road and Kelson Avenue released from the Greenbelt. “There is information in some of those stories which may or may not be accurate, but what I know for sure the Town of Grimsby was on record from the start - and received confirmation in writing when the Greenbelt law was first introduced - that that parcel was one of two in town which should never have been in the Greenbelt in the first place,” said Jordan. “That fact, along with the Town being

told to apply at the 10year appeal window for the release of the two parcels, and the Town offering additional lands above the escarpment as a tradeoff - which were taken anyway with nothing coming back in return - seems to have been significant information overlooked.” Jordan noted information some news agencies have cited about possible PC ties to the landowner and a consultant may not all be accurate, but from Grimsby’s perspective they are irrelevant. “The Town of Grimsby’s desire and justification for that parcel to be removed have been on public record for nearly 20 years. There is no mystery. The land is not good land. That is

Baptists of Beamsville celebrate 235 years Jacob Beam could not have imagined this day: Rev. Peter Bongers By Joanne McDonald For NewsNow Members of the Beamsville First Baptist Church may be getting on a bit, but they haven’t lost their sense of humour. Sunday at the 235th anniversary of the church - the oldest, established continuing congregation of the Ontario Quebec Convention of Baptist churches - the celebration opened with a comical skit about territorial rights over the pews. “Grandma Thompson has been sitting there since June 1927,” Ed Low told two newcomers who had unwittingly sat in Grandma’s pew for the service. “She embroidered it on the upholstery.” Serious business this status of pew rights as real estate. It was a light moment and invited guest Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton took the cue to suggest the Grandma Thompson character might even have been her own grandparents William Tufford and Beatrice (Wilcox) who were long time members of the congregation and took her to Sunday services there as a child. “We are blessed today to

McDonald - Photo celebrate this 235th year of Baptists in Beamsville,” said worship coordinator Jane Hoed. Rev. Peter Bongers said, “it was the willingness of so many over the church’s history ‘to step out of the boat, to take a leap of faith,’” in a reference to his sermon where disciple Peter’s faith allowed him to get out of the boat and walk on water. “Jacob Beam could not

have imagined this day,” Rev. Bongers said. In 1788, Jacob Beam led a group of Baptist immigrants from New Jersey to the Niagara Peninsula. He donated the land for the church in the town that was named after him. The members are dedicated, but like so many churches, they are facing the challenges of a dwindling congregation. A typical Sunday sees about 3035 people in attendance. “We are feeling our way one Sunday at a time,” said Hoed. “We are here for each other as a congregation and our foremost purpose is to be of value and to be effective in the community. Our faith doesn’t change,” Hoed said. The Baptists can look back at many accomplishments, “and today we have the opportunity to continue this legacy.” “1788 was an auspicious year in Clinton, the Lower Thirty, as the Beamsville area was called at that time. Jacob Beam Sr., at the age

of 60 years, relocated from New Jersey to Upper Canada with members of his extended family as a result of the American Revolution. A staunch Loyalist, he had been clapped into irons, fined 500 pounds and forfeited his lands for having aided British prisoners to escape their captors,” Hoed wrote in a history of the church. Marion Whitman Dawdy, in her history ‘Baptists of Beamsville 1788-1988’ credits Beam’s arrival with the organization of the Baptist work, “and thus we use this year as the year of our Baptist beginnings.” Beam donated the land in 1808 for the building of a church and cemetery. There have likely been four different churches on the site. The present building was built in 1858, with the Christian Education wing, the Jacob Beam Hall, added in 1965. Following the service, the congregation and visitors gathered in the JB Hall for a roast beef dinner.

Community Recognition Awards recipients for 2023 have been named by the Twp. of West Lincoln. Winners are: • Marcus Bousfield, who won in the Ages 14 and under category; • Scott Antonides, who won in the Ages 55 and under category, and; • Kathy Wetselaar, who won in the Over 55 category. “We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of nominations we received for our first Community Recognition Awards. There certainly is no shortage of people in West Lincoln who are actively demonstrating their love for and commitment to our community,” said Mayor Cheryl Ganann. “On behalf of council, I want to extend my most sincere thanks to everybody who took the time to send in a nomina-

tion and congratulations to our worthy winners. We are excited to continue building this tradition for years to come.” Families and friends of the winners, along with all members of the public, will be invited to help congratulate the winners at a celebratory event tonight (Thursday, Oct. 26) at 6:30 p.m., in the Library Community Room at 177 West Street, in Smithville. The township’s Community Recognition Awards recognize residents who, through personal involvement, leadership abilities, and selfless giving of their time and talent, have positively impacted the West Lincoln community. The idea to establish a program that recognizes outstanding community members was originally brought to council in April of 2022 by a Beaver Scout named Dylan Pilot.

Following township staff’s research and recommendations, council approved the Community Recognition Program Policy and Terms of Reference in September of 2022. Nominations were open from July 1 until Sept. 8, 2023, following which, a panel of judges comprised of prominent community leaders reviewed and graded the nominations, which were redacted to remove any identifying information. A winner was then appointed for each applicable category based solely on the final tally of grades. No awards were assigned for the Ages 30 and under or Ages 21 and under categories, as they did not receive nominations. Judges will remain anonymous to the public and to one another, to maintain the integrity of the selection process.

Peninsula Players Community Theatre Company is ready for the opening night of Norm Foster’s Ethan Claymore’s Christmas. On Nov. 3, a wine & cheese gala starts off the two-weekend run of this heart-warming Christmas themed play. Ethan Claymore (Simon Pellegrino) is a young recluse widower living in a small Canadian farming community. He is an artist and a nearly bankrupted egg farmer. If that’s not enough sadness at Christmas time, he’s just learned that his estranged brother has died. Ethan’s meddlesome best friend Douglas (Dean Rooney) has determined that Ethan

needs to start socializing again, so tries to set him up with the pretty and unsuspecting new school teacher, Theresa (Jill Kirk). The plan is unfolding nicely until Ethan’s late brother Martin (Brad Fortman) shows up with an agenda of his own! Flash back to Ethan’s

youth when a young Ethan (Cole Sadai) and a young Martin (Thomas Saker) reveal why the two brothers are estranged. Plot twists, humour, depth of character and a lesson in human kindness are all signatures of a Norm Foster play. The play opens Nov,

Kitchen cabinets: reface or replace?

RENOVATE

The popularity of kitchens likely has something to do with why so many homeowners spend sizable sums renovating their kitchens. Studies have shown, the median spend on major kitchen remodels grew by 14 per cent from the previous year, and minor remodels increased by 25 per cent. Homeowners have different options when it comes to cabinet renovations, and they may need to decide if they need to replace or reface their cabinets. REPLACEMENT Cabinet replacement involves removing all of the existing cabinets before new cabinets are leveled and installed. According to the home improvement resource The Spruce, homeowners can expect to pay between $13,000 and $30,000 for contractor grade cabinets. Cabinet replacement is a

good idea when homeowners want to add more cabinet space or create a new layout in the room. REFACING Cabinet refacing is less messy and less disruptive than replacement. All cabinets remain the same size and in the same location. The cabinet boxes must be in good shape to facilitate a refacing. The process involves installation of new drawer fronts and cabinet doors, as well as veneering of the cabinet boxes. New hardware typically is installed as well. The insides of the cabinets typically remain the same. The Spruce says cabinet refacing can be 30-50 per cent cheaper than a replacement. Most people call in professionals to change their cabinets. Cabinet replacement can be a do-it-yourself job, but it involves measuring and ensuring everything fits.

How to prepare a fireplace for the winter Home fireplaces typically are wood-burning or gas. Though maintenance for these fireplaces differs, certain preparatory steps must be taken to prepare a fireplace for winter. CLEAR THE CLUTTER Items can accumulate in areas that are not in use, and a fireplace is no exception. Take a few hours to remove any belongings from in front of the fireplace and clean the mantle thoroughly. HAVE CHIMNEY CLEANED Hire a professional chimney cleaning company to inspect the chimney and clean it thoroughly before winter. According to BobVila.com, a chimney should be cleaned once a year, or after about every 80 fires. The National

Fire Protection Association says failure to properly clean chimneys is one of the leading contributors to home fires. That’s due to creosote, a highly flammable residue that builds up in the flue that lines the chimney. INSPECT THE INTERIOR The interior of a woodburning fireplace is likely lined with fire bricks. Check for cracks and loose joints. Hire a professional mason to make any repairs, as special materials are needed to withstand the heat of fires. INSTALL CHIMNEY CAP According to Family Handyman, a chimney cap is a protective covering that goes over the top of the chimney. It is made of steel or copper mesh with a cap on top.

This protects the chimney from rain and downdrafts and keeps animals and debris from getting into the chimney. PRUNE BRANCHES If there are trees close to the home and the chimney, cut them back, as they can be a fire hazard. Branches and leaves also can restrict the proper draft of the chimney. ASSESS VENTILATION Gas fireplaces typically emit exhaust through a vent in the home. Remove any blockages from the vent, including leaves, cobwebs and debris. CHECK COVERINGS The glass or face of the fireplace helps regulate carbon monoxide exposure and protects people from the flames. Be sure the glass covering is intact.

Improving storage in common areas Increasing storage capabilities at home is a popular goal among many homeowners and renters. Despite how much space a person may have at home, there’s often a desire to have more or maximize the areas that are there. People often turn to external storage facilities to house their belongings when space is at a premium at home. Others may focus their organization energy on closets, garages and basements to free up room. But common areas around the home also can provide additional sources of storage. Common areas are locations where people come together for activities. LIVING/FAMILY ROOM Living rooms and family rooms are areas of the home where people spend many hours. These tend to be multifunctional spaces where people

entertain, lounge and even enjoy movies or gaming. Possibilities in these living spaces that can create extra storage include furniture that serves doubleduty. For example, a storage ottoman adds decorative appeal but also can be filled with board games or books. Cabinet-style TV stands may not be as streamlined as mounted versions, but they’re ideal places to stash games, remote controls and other accessories. ENTRYWAY An entryway or mudroom can quickly succumb to clutter. When organizing such a space, think about the needs of the household. A storage bench will be a place where everyone can sit to put on shoes, and then stow footwear underneath when not in use. A wall-mounted rack can hold jackets or sweaters.

What to know about kitchen countertop materials So much time spent in the kitchen makes it worthwhile to invest in these popular spaces. Kitchen renovations are high on many homeowners’ to-do lists, and there’s many decisions to make once they commit to redoing the room. When renovating a kitchen, homeowners will have to choose which countertop material they want to install, and the following rundown of popular options can help simplify that decision. QUARTZ Quartz is considered a low-maintenance and durable countertop material. The home improvement experts at This Old House note that quartz countertops are typically 94 per cent ground quartz and now come with

an honed, sandblasted or embossed treatment, which makes them appealing to homeowners with varying ideas on the ideal look of a kitchen countertop. Quartz can crack if it’s not handled properly, and edges and corners can chip over time. Rounded edges can minimize the risk of chipping. Costs vary by location and product availability, but quartz typically costs about the same as natural stone. GRANITE No two slabs of granite are the same, and that uniqueness has long appealed to homeowners. Tests run found that heat, cuts and scratches did not harm granite, though this material, like quartz, can crack around edges and cor-

ners. Granite is a durable material that, if properly maintained, can last several decades. Granite also is nonporous, which makes it resistant to bacteria. LAMINATE Laminate countertops appeal to budget-friendly homeowners and are generally easy to install. Laminate countertops come in a wide range of colors, textures and designs. Laminate countertops also are durable, which helps budget-conscious homeowners stretch their dollars even further. Laminate countertops are easily maintained, though it’s also easy to permanently damage them with knives, so Consumer Reports recommends always using a cutting board when preparing meals on laminate.

Worth the wait

The Grimsby Seniors Club hosted a Harvest Lunch Tuesday - Oct. 17 - at the Livingston Activity Centre and a happy crowd of 50 was a guarantee with the popular Chef Brad Rempel. (L-R) Gloria Vause, Marjorie Bland and Maureen Ricker were among those on hand to get their lunch from Chef Rempel. McDonald – Photo

Lincoln takes the bait Town of Lincoln announced Tuesday that, to prioritize safety, council has “officially approved the permanent reduction of the speed limit from 50 km/h to 40 km/h on all local roads within urban areas.” That is simply taking the easy way out when enforcement is not going to happen - the same item being considered to solve what some call speeding issues. Ya, 40kmp on Ontario Street is going to fly? NOT. Those areas will be like the 50kmp limit on Grimsby’s South Service Road extension when it first went in, shooting ducks in a barrel for police then, with pretty sweet fines, too. Why? Because 40 kmp is too low on major thoroughfare streets. Period. Just like 50 on the service road was silly. M.W.

Setting facts straight for public record I really hate to belabour anything related to the Greenbelt in/out land matter, but new developments, a ton of misinformation and surprisingly partial details from some news agencies beg for clarifications and further detail. There are those who would nibble away at the Greenbelt - given the opportunity - but the vast majority recognize the reasoning behind maintaining its integrity and strict defence. Aside from political gamesmanship, brought on by a horrid governmental process, issues persist. On the politics side, no doubt opposition parties would like to fan flames and keep the fire of discontent burning until the next election cycle, at this point, set of June 2026. But the matter of Grimsby’s case for at least the Oakes/Kelson parcel of land being left out of the Greenbelt can be 100 per cent removed from any political games. It has been stated in this space, and likely will be again, this is all public record going back to 200405. Further, a letter from former Grimsby Mayor Bob Bentley from Feb. 27, 2017 outlined and somewhat summarized some of the issue to that point in time: “The Town’s submissions echoed similar ones that the Town put forward prior to the implementation of the Greenbelt Plan in 2005. These were also ignored;

MIKE WILLISCRAFT however, the Minister of Municipal Affairs at the time assured the Town of Grimsby that its concerns would receive fair and thorough consideration in the 2015 ten-year review. The Town has provided indisputable evidence to the Province that certain lands have been improperly designated, but we find that our requests have still been ignored,” the letter states. Later in the letter, Bentley noted just one example of indisputable errors made along the legislation’s planing path. “There are many errors in the mapping and designations that the Town had fully expected all Ministries to be prepared to correct at the ten-year review. When you have more than 26 acres of residential housing and subdivisions within the Specialty Crop designation, containing more than 200 homes there is clearly some truth to the claim that there exist errors in the mapping and designations.” The reason I believe it worth doubling up on this

content theme two weeks in a row is having things accurate on the public record is important. These days, with social media garbage the way it is, many who believe that crud is actual news or real information create a stink which permeates otherwise sound minds. For example, I had a letter from one lady this week very upset Grimsby council would actually ask to have lands taken out of the Greenbelt. She then listed many reasons why it was bad. I simply noted the facts: it was never supposed to be in, the Town was told to wait 10 years and it would be considered for removal, the Town offered land as a trade-off anyways only to have it gobbled up with the original land in question staying in the Greenbelt. If you want to play politics, that garbage was all Liberals. The current situation, brought on by a tragically ill-advised removal process, was Tory. So in terms of leaving Town of Grimsby on the outside looking it, it’s 2-1 Liberals in this case. The PCs could have a chance to do right and leave at least the Oakes/Kelson lands out, but I agree with MPP Sam Oosterhoff on the likelihood of it happening right next to zero. If a normal, proper assessment of that parcel had rolled out, it would have been easy and proper to do. Not now. it’s politically radioactive.

out southern Ontario submitted their stories to Carolinian Canada as to why they would like a pair of pawpaw trees to plant in their yard. A pair is needed for cross pollination so the trees will bear fruit. Pawpaws are North America’s largest edible native tree fruit. Niagara Nature Tours will be hosting its annual Pawpaw Workshops & Carolinian Walkabout at Carla’s Bonnybank Bed and Breakfast in Vineland Station, in the next couple of weeks. Learn about this indigenous fruit and learn to make pawpaw bread, punch and even ice cream! There will be a draw for a pair of pawpaw trees, seeds and garden kits….and trees will be available to purchase.
