West Lincoln eyes expansion By Tristan Marks NewsNow West Lincoln’s review of expanding its urban boundaries is taking another big step this week with a virtual public meeting set for Wednesday (Oct. 6). That meeting comes on the heels of an update at the Township’s Planning/Building/Environmental Committee on Sept. 13 regarding the ongoing Master Community Plan study. At the same meeting, council also heard a presentation on expanding employment areas in West Lincoln’s rural hamlets. The update on the Smithville Master Community Plan follows up on public input given by resi-

dents who participated in a Public Information Centre (PIC) in January of this year. Consultant Steven Wever explained that of two land-use options presented to residents at the PIC, the vast majority preferred the one that grouped future employment lands to the north and east of Smithville’s expanded borders, and placed future residential land to the south and south-West. The concept plan Wever presented to council elaborated further on this preferred option. This concept envisions urban employment lands along Industrial Park Road, and while retaining agricultural/rural employ-

ment lands along parts of RR 20 to the west of Station Street. Residential areas of various densities and mixed-use zoning would radiate from “commercial nodes” to the south of Townline Road and the west of South Grimsby Road 5. “In this plan, the majority of the expanded area would be used for residents,” said Wever. The presentation also touched on several options for truck corridors/downtown bypasses. Option A would see a new bypass road connecting Townline Road to Industrial Park Road and having the route continue along a new east-west route south of See DEVELOP, Page 4

IC reports set off explosive council session By Mike Williscraft NewsNow What is left of Grimsby council’s integrity got another black eye Monday when Coun. Randy Vaine erupted in a tirade as discussion regarding him being in breach of the Town’s Code of Conduct for harassment got underway. The finding of that Integrity Commissioner complaint, issued by Coun. Dorothy Bothwell was issued in tandem with another complaint filed by Coun. Kevin Ritchie, Coun. John Dunstall and Coun. Randy Vaine. They issued 19 claims of Mayor Jeff Jordan breaching the Code of Conduct. All of which IC Michael Maynard either completely rejected or found did not have any standing to require a finding. The Vaine complaint was 30 pages while the trio’s complaint vs Jordan was 44 pages long. In his finding on the Vaine complaint, Maynard noted: “We (Maynard and report co-author Benjamin Drory) have determined that Councillor Vaine contravened

sections 4.1 (i) and 12.1 of the Code of Conduct. Councillor Vaine contravened s. 4.1 (i) by his email of March 11, 2021, in which he wrote, in part, “in my opinion you try to come across as better than everyone else”. That comment was disparaging of Councillor Bothwell and was made in an email copied to all other Members of Council and several senior members of staff. Councillor Vaine also harassed Councillor Bothwell, contrary to s. 12.1, as evidenced by various email exchanges between them over time, and on these occasions his interactions did not fall under the jurisdiction of a meeting chair under the Procedural By-law.” The report also cited there are only two possible penalties - a reprimand, or a suspension of the remuneration paid for up to 90 days. “In the circumstances, it is our view that a reprimand against Councillor Vaine would be appropriate. We do not find his conduct to be of a degree warranting a suspension of pay, See HARASSMENT, Page 2

Page 2 • NewsNow • Thursday, October 7, 2021

HARASSMENT FROM PAGE 1

and we also believe a public reprimand would be a meaningful consequence,” Maynard said in the report. “We also believe all councillors have vested interests in working in a pleasant and collaborative “workplace”, and will understand the harms that would arise from working in a workplace falling beneath this standard.” In the ensuing discussion after Maynard tabled his reports, Coun. Lianne Vardy suggested an immediate apology from Vaine also be part of the penalty. But while Bothwell took her turn to address the complaint and the ongoing issues facing council, Vaine interjected and the whole discussion went south immediately. She made a comment in the context of explaining the issues of councillors’ conduct going far beyond what was included in that one claim about Vaine - calling the issues “pervasive” - and that other councillors had serious issues not part of that process. At 2:06:33 of the video recording of the proceedings, Bothwell stated, “When another councillor says to me that ‘the Heritage Grimsby Advisory Committee is just made up of a bunch of soccer moms’ or that I would be better as just a member of the Heritage Committee and not the chair because I could debate much better as just a member, those types of comments, those types of behaviours make it....” “The councillor here is lying because I never said those things,” interjected Vaine. “I didn’t say you,” answered Bothwell.

However, Vaine was having nothing of it. “It doesn’t matter. Don’t be lying,” shouted Vaine while Bothwell tried to continue. “Point of Order, Coun. Vaine,” interjected Coun. Reg Freake. “Shut up, Freake,” said Vaine, while Jordan tried to get things under control. “There is a good example of what I am talking about right there,” said Freake, referring to when he commented early that, “I’m so so disappointed that we have a councillor on this council that has gone so far and thinks it’s ok to continue to do it. How many times has he been asked and told in council, by the chair, to refrain?” While Jordan is telling Vaine, “You’re being rude,” Vaine appears to call one of his colleagues an “idiot” and Jordan asks to have Vaine removed from the meeting. At which point, Ritchie interjects with an immediate Point of Order - one of about a dozen on the night. In the moment of quiet after Vaine was removed, Bothwell again clarified she was not speaking about Vaine regarding her comment about the heritage committee noting it was another councillor. “We have the right to challenge that,” said Ritchie, speaking of the mayor’s ruling to eject Vaine for poor conduct. While Jordan maintained he had authority to eject under the Municipal Act, Ritchie contended “you do not have that right unless it is a serious threat and this is a Zoom meeting.” “He told someone to shut up,” said Jordan. “That’s not a serious threat,” said Ritchie. “I will leave this meeting as well, and I hope everyone else leaves this

meeting so we don’t have a quorum.” “You’re welcome to leave, Councillor Ritchie,” said Jordan before conferring with town clerk Sarah Kim on proper procedure to follow. After that, Jordan confirmed council would vote on the challenge. On challenges of ejections from council, five members of council Ritchie, Vaine, Dunstall, Sharpe and Kadwell - all voted to adjust the procedural bylaw to allow those expelled from a meeting to vote on whether a challenge to reinstate is upheld or not. With that, a screen saver for Vaine popped back up on the Zoom call as Vaine was never visible during the meeting. He claimed his camera was not working but at different times during the meeting items could be seen on the screen. Once back on the Zoom, Vaine picked up where he left off. “(inaudible) remove the other members of council that started before me? Is that correct? Because it wouldn’t be bias just towards me because I put a complaint against you is it?” said Vaine. “Don’t worry, it’s all going to be in the local paper, buddy. I don’t mind. Just letting you know.” “Your continual outbursts are not helping the situation, Coun. Vaine,” said Jordan. “You had your friends yelling at first. I merely replied to your friends, but you chose to target me, again, showing your bias,” claimed Vaine. “I want no more cross talk, no more Points of Order. We’re with this right now,” said Jordan, as the meeting got back on track. When the motion to uphold the chair’s ruling to remove Vaine was put on the floor,

Kadwell said Bothwell’s comments seemingly attributed to Vaine are what set off the whole issue. “We were talking about Councillor Vaine. So I think everybody just took for granted that Councillor Bothwell - about the soccer mothers - was referring to Councillor Vaine,” said Kadwell. “I’m listening and that is exactly how I interpreted it.” However, as Bothwell had stated twice already to that point, she had attributed that point to “another councillor”. With Dunstall not returning after the council meeting for Committee of the Whole, that left four of his usual voting group to kill the motion to uphold the chair’s ruling as Kadwell, Ritchie, Sharpe and Vaine voted against and the motion died in a 4-4 tie vote. As the debate got rebooted, Bothwell confirmed for a third time she said “another councillor” in her earlier comment. When it came to finally getting around to what the penalty would be, a motion suggesting a formal reprimand be issued to Vaine, a demand for an immediate apology from Vaine to Bothwell be issued and that Vaine be requested to “voluntarily retake the workplace harassment and sensitivity training originally provided to members of council.” Vaine, who has a habit of figuratively slapping those he disagrees with one hand while offering an olive branch with the other did exactly that with Maynard. “I want to make it very clear. I’m not upset. I expected this ruling. I didn’t expect them to do the proper investigation. In my world, where we do real investigations, we use all the

facts available which the IC, unfortunately, did not in this case,” said Vaine. “I have a lot of respect for this IC as I did for the previous one, so this is not a personal attack on him, but it’s just that, unfortunately, I had given nine witnesses’ names as well as other information to show that I was not harassing Councillor Bothwell. I don’t have a problem. You make whatever ruling you want. It doesn’t affect me in any way. I’ll take the workplace training. I’ve taken it a million times.” He then cited an incident when he called Vardy a bully, not to say it was an error, rather, his mistake was doing it in a closed session. “I should have done it to her privately,” said Vaine. Vaine then issued a threat to “bring out all the wrong that has been done” and later claimed Bothwell got a positive ruling “based on no evidence”, and “none of my evidence was even considered.” “You want to know the truth? I’m going to make sure the truth gets out, every bit of it because I don’t care. I’m not worried. You can go file another IC complaint against me. I don’t care.....I will not apologize,” said Vaine claiming that too much focus on heritage issues would jeopardize the town’s ability to fight climate change. As far as Vaine’s claim the investigation left evidence he offered off the table, Maynard explained to council, as he did to Vaine directly and included in his report that Vaine only offered witnesses he said would show Bothwell to be the one in breach of the Code of Conduct. Quoting from Page 29 of this report, Maynard read, “Lastly, we wish to note that a decision was

deliberately made not to interview the various witnesses proposed by Councillor Vaine. He indicated that those witnesses would speak to Councillor Bothwell’s mistreatment of them, but we determined that even if that were true (which we take no position on, as it was not the subject of this investigation), that could not have possibly been a relevant defence respecting Councillor Vaine’s own conduct, and his obligations under the Code.” Maynard reiterated he conducts and IC process, not a litigious process which allows counter claims. “This hurts,” said Bothwell, in summing up the proceeding. “It took a lot to do this and I knew - and I mentioned this to Mr. Maynard - that just by filing this and standing my ground on it, I would be a target and there would be retaliation.” “As Councillor Vaine has threatened numerous occasions, ‘I’m going to make sure the truth comes out in another forum’, whatever. So you’re constantly living on egg shells wondering when is the next Integrity Commissioner complaint going to get filed against me.” Vaine noted he was in the process of filing a complaint against Bothwell and would follow through on that now. As Freake began to note it was unfortunate Vaine was taking the matter lightly, Vaine cut him off and accused him of lying as well. In the end, the vote on a penalty was split with council voting to implement the reprimand and retaking the workplace harassment and sensitivity training. Kadwell, Ritchie, Vaine and Sharpe voted to reject the notion of an apology being issued in a 4-4 tie vote.

Jordan cleared of 19 allegations by IC By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Grimsby Mayor Jeff Jordan was cleared of 19 allegations on Monday made in an Integrity Commissioner complaint. The complaint, filed by Councillors Kevin Ritchie, John Dunstall and Randy Vaine was summarily dismissed by IC Michael Maynard. The allegations included everything from conflict of interest infractions to failure to recuse himself from a meeting, to voting on an item in an instance when he should not have. The heart of the issue goes back to an incident and another IC complaint when it was found Jordan breached the Code of Conduct by revealing information to a third party from an in-camera meeting - which was deemed “trivial and without consequence” by then-IC Charles Harnick. The trio who filed this claim, along with Coun. Dave Sharpe

and Coun. Dave Kadwell was displeased with that finding to the point where they voted to dismiss Harnick as IC soon after, with Harnick being replaced by Maynard. This 19 claim complaint represents the third such complaint filed regarding what was originally a $1,300 expense generated when Jordan made a call to one of the Town’s lawyers in an attempt to track how his personal emails got in the hands of Ritchie. Ritchie has refused to divulge the source of the emails. In his findings, Maynard noted much of the claim was “out of time” meaning the complaint was issued after the allowable window of time permitted to raise an issue in a timely manner. Maynard also noted that other items were matters of opinion, not Code of Conduct breaches and other matters were put to him without any level of support, rather inci-

dents were raised with an expectation the IC would prove their case with regard to one complaint under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Quoting the legislation, Maynard noted, “An application shall set out the reasons for believing that the member has contravened section 5, 5.1 or 5.2 of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act and include a statutory declaration attesting to the fact that the applicant became aware of the contravention not more than six weeks before the date of the application.” “No Application conforming to the above requirements was placed before me by the Complainants,” stated Maynard in his report. Generally, Maynard reported his job is to investigate complaints made on time and with proper information. “However, an allegation in a complaint lacking sufficient grounds or evidence, or an allegation first raised or articu-

lated long after a complaint / application is filed (and particularly beyond the limitation period), is, in my view, an improperly filed allegation. It is therefore not a matter at issue and consequently not something for me to investigate,” wrote Maynard. “It is not enough for a complainant to list voluminous Code sections and/or submit ambiguous or unsubstantiated claims in the expectation that the Integrity Commissioner will pick through them and find something that sticks.” “To put it another way, the Integrity Commissioner should not be asked to find the proverbial ‘needle in a haystack’ on behalf of a complainant, let alone be asked to first locate the farm and decide which haystack might contain the needle.” COSTS TO THE TOWN With two IC complaints generating three reports and formal legal opinion costs

already accumulated, Coun. Reg Freake tables a motion to ask for a report on all IC filings from 2019-2021. Ritchie raised Point of Order saying other IC costs were not relevant and Freake’s motion should be altered to a request for costs on only the complaint before council since other costs were not “relevant”. Freake pointed out the IC report noted some avenues would not be pursued due to consideration of cost to the taxpayers. “I would like for these reports, which we continue to have, to be documented. I would like to see the costs. I would like for the town to know how much money we’re spending on these types of frivolous, silly complaints,” said Freake. To get an idea of some costs, Freake agreed to adjust him motion to solely request a cost breakdown on the current complaint.

Are you planning to purchase a new-build condo unit?

Do you know that the amount of your initial deposit can affect the interim occupancy amount? Do you even understand what an “Interim Occupancy Date” is, and how it differs from the condominium “Completion Date”? If this is your first time navigating a new-build condominium purchase, you need to understand that it is very different than purchasing a new-build “freehold” home. I caution 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 • reasonable monthly estimate of municipal taxes; • 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 that decision to do that has to be made early on. Before you commit to buy, try to negotiate the amount of lumpsum payment that you can make at time of interim occupancy, so as to reduce your interim occupancy fee. 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!

Young Street. Option B would see a new north-south connection between RR 20 and South Grimsby Road 2 and continue eastwest along Young Street. The third option, Option C, offers a bypass south of the Smithville from Townline Road and then up through South Grimsby Road 7. Both Mayor Dave Bylsma and Coun. William Reilly expressed interest in Option A. “We’ve heard from the community that they want to go north,” said Reilly. “I agree with the mayor that option A makes the most sense here, logically.” Bylsma added that he was “overall pleased” with the refined concept Wever presented. There will be a second PIC on Oct. 6 to gather data that will help fine tune the plan for when consultants present their preferred urban boundary plan to council on Oct. 12.

will take place in Feb. 2022. RURAL EMPLOYMENT LANDS The committee also received a presentation that detailed options for expanding the Township’s rural settlements for the purpose of adding new employment lands to them. A growth forecast from the Niagara Region indicated that West Lincoln needs to add a minimum of 25.9 hectares of employment land to rural hamlets like Grassie and Fulton among others. Consultant Dan Currie said that the study was made to carefully examine each potential parcel of land for natural heritage, flood plains/hazard lands, prime agricultural use and mineral/petroleum extraction. “The best location avoids conflict with those land uses,” said Currie. Director of planning and building Brian Treble added that the employment land study is just one of two important steps for determining new boundaries for the rural settlements. “We will have to accommo-

date both employment space and residential space,” said Treble. The preliminary results of the study identified four settlements for potential expansion: Grassie, Fulton, Grimsby Centre and Regional Road 12. Bylsma asked if the study had considered making use of unused industrial lands around the Township’s existing hamlet boundaries. “Has there been a consideration for using the Township’s brown fields so we can maintain our agricultural lands?,” asked Bylsma, singling out Bismark in particular as a location with possibility. Currie explained that the study is looking for efficiency in determining border expansion. “Is it better to make one or two changes to be efficient, or to make several smaller adjustments?” he asked rhetorically. However Treble indicated that “Bismark is certainly on our radar.” Staff will return with an update after completing a more detailed analysis. When this will be is still to be determined.

day), the Take It To The Finish fundraising campaign officially entered the public phase of its program after completing the “quiet phase”, said campaign chair Andrew Smith. “We’ve raised about $6.3 million of our $7.5 million goal in the quiet phase, which is comprised of leadership gifts in excess of $100,000. That response is outstanding, but we still have a lot of work to do,” said Smith.

The official launch of the public phase was hosted on a Zoom call on Wednesday afternoon, complete with an update on the RFP/new build process. “There will be more to come as we reach out to the community but, so far, the response has been tremendous,” noted Smith. “We’ve achieved 85 per cent of our target and we hope to get to our ultimate goal sooner than later.” This next phase, he added, will be when the community sees more events and activities surrounding the fundraising program. “We’ve had great support to date from businesses and leaders in community which has been amazing. We want to continue to build on that,” said Smith. “In the end, including the funds raised years ago, we will have raised $18 million total from community itself – not counting any commitments from any level of government. That is a fantastic contribution from a community of our size.” “Now, the community wants to be involved and we’re looking forward to it.”

The cycle of discrimination SRH HEALTH FOODS & WELLNESS CLINIC Nowadays, we think of Grimsby as the sort of place where everyone is welcome. Our choices in places to eat reflect this. We have Chinese, Indian, Greek, Mexican, British, Italian, Canadian. A nice mix of cuisine. It was not always so. Thank goodness times have changed. One hundred years ago, the good old folks in Grimsby did not want any strangers to come in and open businesses. On March 27th, 1918, The Independent ran a front page story with the heading (slightly redacted) “Grimsby has no need for a ***** Shop-Suey Joint”. The story went on to say that in recent months there have been “licentious rice eaters” trying to find space to open restaurants. They have

By Dorothy Turcotte been turned down flat by landlords. I don‘t know when the two Chinese restaurants opened in Grimsby; they were here we when came in 1960. However, racism flared again during World War Two. When the government announced that it was sending JapaneseCanadian internees to Grimsby, local governments resisted, pleading with the feds “No, not here!” Incidentally, it was government policy to either intern Japanese-Canadians in camps in British Columbia (after confiscating their property, or send them east in an attempt to keep them as far away as possible

from Japan). The crazy part of this philosophy was that most of the Japanese in B.C. had been here for a couple of generations, and had no connection with the “old country” so were not likely to be spies. Nevertheless, several young JapaneseCanadian men arrived in Grimsby and were given industrial jobs. At Least one of them remained until his retirement, a respected citizen. The early going was not easy, though. At the Roxy, theatre, rows were set aside for the Japanese. The Chinese restaurants posted signs reading “We don’t server Japs.” The discriminated against had become the discriminators. Racism has always been a senseless and harmful waste of time.

4th Annual

Volunteer Pay Subscription Drive

“What a newspaper needs in its news, in its headlines, and on its editorial page is terseness, humor, descriptive power, satire, originality, good literary style, clever condensation, and accuracy, accuracy, accuracy! Joseph Pulitzer Dear Reader,

I think NewsNow delivers on the above quote from the fellow for whom the Pulitzer Prize is named. Without NewsNow, Niagara West readers have no understanding of the impact of Grimsby’s biodigester project or council shenanigans. There would be very little knowledge of the lengthy and serious issues which have plagued West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in recent years - although the corner seems to be turned of late. More recently, nobody would be aware of the $12 million in cost overruns for a super school. And this is nothing to say of the countless items of community support our team rolls out every week. These next few months will be make or break. If you can, and choose to do so, please consider supporting NewsNow.

Based on the excellent feedback from previous years’ volunteer pay subscription drive, we are launching Year 4! 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!!!!

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 have a safe and healthy year!

Salute to our Firefighters! #1inings

Time to #getloud This years Fire Prevention Week campaign “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety!” works to educate everyone about the different sounds your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make. Knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep you and your family safe. When an alarm makes noises, a beeping sound or chirping sound, you must take action. Too often fatal fires in Ontario occur in homes where there are no working smoke alarms. The Grimsby Fire Department is chal-

Pioneer Days returns to permanent home

Last weekend marked a double milestone for the Lincoln Museum & Cultural Centre. The newly built Jordan museum site celebrated its grand opening alongside Pioneer Day- the first Pioneer Day celebrated in Jordan since the museum moved to its interim location in 2017. Museum exhibitions and collections curator Jasmine Proteau said she and the staff were happy to share the new site with the public. “We hosted 1,000 people over the course of Pioneer Day and many were thrilled to be back at the museum for an in-person Pioneer Day,” said Proteau. “It felt like coming home and we couldn’t be happier.”

Helen Kotrus stitched several homemade, crochet poppies sent in by Lincoln residents to a net which will be on display in the museum for Remembrance Day.

Veronica MacDonald peruses handmade oils and soaps on sale by Jasmine Proteau.

The day’s celebration was scored with melodies performed by the Lincoln Concert Band, here conducted by Brenda Fairchild-Green, left.

Ward brothers (L-R) Pherson and James were among many who explored the new museum’s interactive exhibits.

Mary and John Hartman sat and listened to live concert music on the Museum grounds as they stopped for some lunch.

Five years have passed, Not a day without a tear, It’s always worse for us this time of year, Constantly reminded of your pain and fear. Why does this have to be be so blanking hard, Whatever I am doing, In my mind you soon appear, I love you forever, But you left us deeply scarred. I go through each day knowing certain things in life we do alone, For me I hurt and cry, Driving myself ever searching for the why. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason will change the way I feel, For no one knows the heartache that lies behind my smile, How many times I have broken down and cried. I could not say to you...I still can’t say...good bye. My heart till aches as I whisper low: Bless you Aubrey, I miss you so. Forever Loved, Grandpa Earl

Charity pairs veterans with PTSD-fighting K9s sent their canines to veterans across the globe. To stay close to VEC’s dog trainer, Weir moved from London to Grimsby and now bases the charity out of this town. “We’re excited to be in Grimsby, it’s a wonderful place,” she said. VEC requires donations from the public to be able to provide these dogs to veterans on waiting lists, free of charge. A fullytrained PTSD dog costs $35,000. Those interested in helping support VEC and its mission can donate through its website, veteranselitecanine. ca. Every dollar goes towards training a service dog. Weir added that VEC is always looking volunteers, especially someone with administrative or financial experience.

Unsurprisingly, PTSD K9 has over 40 years of service dogs require experience with training very specialized train- dogs for both the miliing. tary and police depart“PTSD is different for ments.

IN THE

Dogs can be more than just man’s best friend, sometimes they’re the very thing that keeps a person going. Service dogs that help the blind and physically disabled are a well known part of life for many, but for veterans who suffer from PTSD, specially-trained service dogs can make the difference between being trapped at home or going out and re-engaging with the world. In August, four Canadian veterans walked through Grimsby, representing Veteran’s Elite Canine (VEC), a newly formed charity organization formed in July of this year that is dedicated to helping provide service dogs to veterans who suffer from PTSD. VEC founder and chair Cindy Weir said she was inspired to start the organization after experiencing firsthand the difference her own service dog, Gracie, made in her life. Weir and Gracie were paired together, at no cost to Weir, thanks to a US-based charity, the Pawsitive Love Foundation. VEC aims to provide the same service from this side of the border. “We’re trying to gain more exposure to get more dogs out to veterans with PTSD,” said Weir. “I can tell you, it is life-changing to receive one of these dogs.”

Before

After

Let’s fix that post haste 1:58:33 “Huh, no it wasn’t” That was Coun. Randy Vaine’s response when Coun. Lianne Vardy asked him to show his face at Monday’s council meeting Zoom while an Integrity Commissioner complaint against him was dealt with and contended his camera was working after Vaine said it was not. The time on the meeting recording is noted at the top. While Vaine was removing the object from the camera view, Coun. Kevin Ritchie was busy explaining how Vaine’s camera was, indeed, broken as the item slipped from view. So who is lying to who, Mr. Vaine? NewsNow will gladly pay to have a tech person of its choosing come to your home to fix said “not working” camera if you could just supply your new home address I will dispatch someone post haste. Now what community did you move to....? Please advise.. M.W.

Another sad chapter When the wheels come off at Grimsby council, the vehicle does not just pull to a stop and dysfunction reigns. No, this crew takes that vehicle, makes a hard right and drives on rims right off the edge of the escarpment Thelma & Louise style. If you are a fan of asinine behaviour, shocking displays of disdain and hate, unparalleled insincerity and boorish conduct - all supported by the Grimsby 5 by the way - please check in at grimsby.ca to see Monday’s Committee of the Whole extravaganza. As soon as I saw Coun. Randy Vaine was busted by the Integrity Commissioner and found in breach of the Town’s Code of Conduct for harassment of Coun. Dorothy Bothwell it was a virtual guarantee Vaine would lose his mind. You watch and be the judge. Vaine’s conduct as outlined in the complaint or as was on display on Monday was nothing new. And on that, he repeatedly said “I don’t care” about the IC’s findings or if he had to redo a sensitivity training program or if he even shows his actual face during a Zoom meeting. Throughout the proceedings, Vaine avoided his camera in favour of a blue screen background. Only problem was, when Coun. Lianne Vardy asked him to show his face while the IC complaint was discussed Dorothy (2:06:33) “When another councillor says to me that ‘the Heritage Grimsby Advisory Committee is just made up of a bunch of soccer moms’ or that I would be better as just a member of the Heritage Committee and not the chair because I could debate much better as just a member, those types of comments, those types of behaviours make it....” At which point Vaine jumps in, totally out to lunch be-

MIKE WILLISCRAFT cause he simply is incapable of actually listening to what people are saying (at 2:06:57) with “The councillor here is lying because I never said those things.” If he had been listening, he would have saved himself another ton of embarrassment if he is even capable of feeling embarrassment - because as you can see by the quote taken from Bothwell clearly shows she notes “another councillor says to me...” So, you know what you’re getting with Vaine. This has been evident since the public meeting at town hall when he charged the microphone and verbally accosted Planning Committee Chair (at the time) Nick DiFlavio. Once again though, another person who had a chance to do the right and stuffed both feet in his face was Coun. Dave Kadwell. Kadwell, who clearly was not listening either, noted that council as a whole assumed Bothwell was speaking about Vaine’s actions when addressing the complaint she filed against him, which she was for the most part. But as Bothwell correctly noted, “another councillor says to me” unequivocally delineated she was not speaking about Vaine. So when Vaine jumps off the deep end, Kadwell and the rest of the G5 posse jumped with him. This did not

include Coun. John Dunstall who bailed on another night of council action only sitting in for the council meeting so he could ensure the COVID vaccine policy the town has been trying to implement for employees gets deferred again. He didn’t bother to come back for the Committee of the Whole show. In Kadwell, we have the #1 question I get from residents of town. Many thought they knew the man, and I am talking people he knows and/ or played hockey with for upwards of 30 years, but that come in to say, “what’s with that guy?” As I have stated before, ask him, I have no idea. For me, I am just sickened that he puts his lot in with a man of Vaine’s character. Vaine goes off, tells Coun. Reg Freake to “shut up” and follows that with “You’re an idiot”, the mayor tosses him, but good ol’ Coun, Kevin Ritchie is there to challenge the mayor’s ruling so he can get his buddy back in the game. This was one of the procedural bylaws the G5 changed to the expelled councillor gets to vote on whether they get tossed or not. Now, you can debate the validity of the complaints, You can debate all the truly stupid things you see at the council table, but without doubt a chimp - even a cymbal clanging chimp, should have seen Vaine was rightfully tossed. Kadwell, Vaine, Coun. Dave Sharpe and Ritchie are all 100 per accountable for approving of that kind of conduct. I would say they should all be embarrassed, but I don’t think they are emotionally capable of feeling it. It’s psychopathy - a lack of empathy and inability to understand the feelings of others - by definition. It’s all tragically sad for the town. Watch the video at grimsby. ca and judge for yourself.
