By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Niagara Peninsula Energy overstepped its bounds and acted in a heavy-handed fashion in dealing with a West Lincoln greenhouse operator’s livelihood, says Niagara West Glanbrook MPP Tim Hudak. Hudak has taken up the cause of Rex Ge, operator of G & L Nursery on Hwy. 20, who had his hydro cut off in late February when a $360 portion of his bill was 48 days overdue. The result of the disconnection froze all the contents of his greenhouse and damaged his heating and watering system beyond repair. Damage has been estimated at $150,000. “Without a doubt this is a massive screw up with no common sense or good judgment or good business conduct used,” said Hudak. “Mr. Ge has been left with a catastrophic loss that put him out of business for an overdue bill that was less than 60 days past due and for less than $400.” Hudak said he has written letters and spoken directly to Ontario’s Minister of Energy

Health care review discussions underway By Katherine Grant NewsNow Health care reform at Hamilton Health Sciences is underway and the dialogue began last week in Grimsby. The community engagement exercise, Planning Our Healthy Future, was held at the Grimsby Senior Centre Thursday night.
“When in doubt about which way to go, we need to look to patients and families in the communities we serve,” Rob McIsaac, CEO and president of HHS, told those gathered at the centre. McIsaac made note of some of the challenges health-care providers are facing including a funding shortfall.
The Ontario government will not spend any more on health care, he said, but, “The costs keep going up. We need to look hard at the services we are delivering.” McIsaac identified some of the “disruptive forces” affecting health care. He said the population of those over age 80 will double within 20
years. “Our population is aging and their needs are more complex,” said McIsaac as he noted some of the circumstances that are driving change in health care. “People are living longer than they used to and are living with conditions they will See REVIEW, Page 5

Ge said that was not possible since snow on his step was undisturbed. Regardless, Hudak says NPE needs to correct the matter. “They crossed the line of any kind of good judgment. It is never too late to do the right thing. They have to make it right,” said Hudak.

And part of my concern is that the NPE’s PR department is hiding behind the letter of the law.” When NewsNow broke the story March 12, NPE’s vice-president customer service Mar-

Fire causes $200,000 to Grimsby residence A Grimsby man can thank a working smoke alarm for alerting him to a fire in his home last week. The call came in Friday, April 10 at about 1:30 a.m., the Grimsby Fire Department responded to the fire at 6 Cottage Ave. Emergency Services personnel arrived to find the single story bungalow fully engulfed in flames. The lone occupant of the house awoke to find his bedroom full of smoke. He felt intense heat from his bedroom door, so he jumped out of the bedroom window and called 911. He was later trans-
ported to the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital for observation, as a result of smoke inhalation. Police evacuated several nearby homes because of the danger of 70k/hr winds spreading the fire. However, the Grimsby Fire Department brought the fire under control and all residents were able to return to their homes before dawn. The damage is estimated at $200,000. An investigation has determined the cause to be discarded “smoking articles”, said Deputy Fire Chief Bill Thomson.

Are you ready to “think outside the bank”? Is your mortgage coming up for renewal this Spring? Before you sign for another term with your current mortgage provider, ask yourself the following questions: • Am I being offered the best term and rate? Don’t assume that the mortgage renewal is a competitively-priced offer. • Do I need to take some equity out of my home for new priorities, such as planning for a career change, my child’s education, home renovation, or to purchase a vacation property? • Has my credit score or employment changed since I last renewed my mortgage?

New West Lincoln recreation facility up for discussion April 20 Whether you are for it or against it, West Lincoln residents can be part of the process at an April 20 meeting to discuss the proposed multi-purpose recreational facility to be built in Smithville. The projected cost, based on a preliminary study, is $14.3 million. Resident Dave Willis will be making another presentation against spending money on a new facility. He would prefer one of the other less expensive options as he doesn’t feel the community can afford it. A number of community organizations will be speaking in favour of project, including FORT. “Right now the FORT has reached capacity in the number of youth we can serve, and our current facilities are no longer suitable. Without a better space, we are in danger of being forced to turn youth away,” said Beth Shaw, executive director. “FORT does not have running water

or washrooms, and youth must use the arena facilities. Being in a new community centre would mean the FORT’S program could reach more West Lincoln youth.” Local real estate agent Brenda Walker is also in favour. “We not only need a Community Centre, we deserve it. I love this small town of Smithville and I would like to be proud of a single piece of land, this golden nugget that we want to call a park, a community gathering place, a hockey arena with multipurpose uses,” said Walker. “The face of our town is changing; we need to bring it into the 21st century and enhance the charm of peaceful living in the heart of the Niagara. Our council must have the vision to make this happen.” A new website has been created for anyone wanting more information on the community centre, wwwVision4WLcommunitycentre.ca

Another year is in the books! No, no Leafs jokes…just not fair to any Leafs fans, so let’s leave that as let’s hope they are more competitive next season. Turning our attention to Hat Trick, let’s try to figure out how a nine-year-old boy whooped us all! That’s right, John Kingdon has not hit double digits but he is on top of the hockey pool world, at least locally. Congrats to John. He is away for a few days, and doesn’t even know he has won yet, but we’ll get him squared away. It should be noted that second place finisher Harry DeVries has pulled off the rare feat of hanging around the Top 10 virtually the whole season. Entrants come and go, but being near the top all season is a rare feat. Thanks to all who entered! Watch NewsNow this September when we gear up for another season. .

The first 100 days of Lincoln’s new council was a key component of Lincoln Mayor Sandra Easton’s presentation “Future Focus” luncheon on Wednesday. With about 70 in attendance at Twenty Valley Golf and Country Club, the meeting was the first of its kind for the chamber. Easton covered everything from 2015 budget highlights to the Town’s governance model to the five strategic directions council has been basing its work on since last fall while citing balance for all as an important baseline. “The challenge for the future is to strike that balance of investment required to achieve the vision while building a sustainable, resilient Town of Lincoln,” Easton said. As a base for that future, Easton told the crowd there are four areas on which to focus: having a can-do attitude; learning as the municpality evolves while looking outwardly not in; caring and paying attention to core needs such as food, houseing, water and energy are available, and; self reliance, which entails being strategic, diversifying land use, and maintaining solid infrastructure to name a few tactics.
“Not a simple or a cheap agenda,” noted Easton. “What skills do local governments need to acquire to lead their communities in the future? What do we need to do as a local government to lead Lincoln forward in a very sustainable way?” Council’s five-prong plan – communication; customer service; economic development and planning; roads and infrastructure, and; culture – will provide the rudder by which all development will proceed. As an example of its “value for money” thinking, Easton said the new Fleming Library has been a grandslam. “...Library activity has increased on every front; 44 per cent in circulation, 278 per cent new members; 62 per cent new visits; 104 per cent public computer bookings,” said Easton. “At the end of the day, our Town of Lincoln is for you, the people.” “As a Council we must be prepared to execute our role in managing the assets that over the years have been provided through our taxes and the sweat of our volunteers. Council will continue to ensure that investment choices serve the greatest number of citizens of all ages.”

More than 1,200 drivers ticketed for impaired, distracted driving Beginning in January, Niagara Regional Police officers from the Special Enforcement Unit and 8-District, which serves the communities of Lincoln, West Lincoln, and Grimsby, undertook a road safety campaign dubbed Operation Multi-Task. The focus was to address drivers who continue to speed, drive impaired, drive while distracted, and fail to follow the rules of the road. Operation Multi-Task ran through the first quarter of 2015 as part of the NRP’s commitment to traffic safety. During the three-month period, officers were deployed around the clock operating both marked and unmarked police vehicles. As a result, a total of 1,235 provincial offence notices were issued to drivers who put others at risk by engaging in these high-risk activities. In addition to the provincial offence notices; officers arrested 10 drivers for driving while impaired by either alcohol or drugs, and arrested two drivers for other criminal code driving offences. Included in these numbers is the teenage driver who was charged with Stunting for driving 64 km/h over the limit because she was late for curfew. As well as the driver who was arrested at 4:45 p.m. for impaired driving with five times the legal blood alcohol limit. The majority of the provincial offence notices were issued for speeding and distracted driving, which are among the top causes of fatal and serious injury collisions in the Niagara Region. This is particularly concerning because Operation Multi-Task took place during the worst snow and icy road conditions of the year, yet 1,235 drivers continued to put others at risk by engaging in high risk driving behaviour.

Lincoln Rotary honours Paul Harris Fellows Jane Gadsby and Stephen Smalley, two very worthy community leaders, were honoured recently as the Rotary Club of Lincoln’s newest Paul Harris Fellows. Jane Gadsby’s leadership at the helm of the Beamsville Strawberry Festival Association for many years was exemplary. When it became clear the community could no longer support the BFSA as a viable event, Jane changed her focus to augment community engagement in the Eco-Defenders challenge to help rid streets of litter, keep recyclables out of landfills and promote composting. Jane and her team have been invaluable supporters at the Sunset Music Series as well as the Wing Ding Chicken Wings & Blues Fest.

Cormorant sank in Nova Scotia. Skip Gillham-Photo
Former Navy ship overcome by ice By Skip Gillham For NewsNow Frequent snowstorms pummelled Eastern Canada during the winter and, in time, sank a former Canadian naval ship. The one time diving support vessel H.M.C.S. Cormorant was tied up at Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, and owned by creditors at the time it succumbed to winter’s fury. The ship began listing towards the dock on March 18, 2015, due to the weight of the accumulation of ice and snow on deck. It gradually developed a 40 degree list and settled on the bottom alongside the dock. Fire crews were called to clean the ice and snow off the deck before officials could attempt to right the ship. There was concern about the 200 litres of diesel fuel as well as lube oil and hydraulic fluids on board
Shipwreck becoming a pollution threat. Cormorant was originally an Italian fishing trawler purchased and rebuilt by the Royal Canadian Navy in 1975. It served as the mother ship for a submersible craft capable to reaching a depth of over 600 metres. Cormorant visited the Great Lakes on a goodwill tour in 1989 and returned on later occasions. It recovered the bell from the ill-fated Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior in 1994 and also worked on the wreck of the Breadalbane, a merchant ship crushed by ice and sunk in the Arctic in 1853. Cormorant was decommissioned in 1997 and sold to private interests. It had been laid up at Bridgewater when it was overcome by this winter’s snow and ice.

Spring Open House planned for Irish Grove woodlot Welcome back for a Spring Open House at the Irish Grove Woodlot located at 38 Hunter Road in Grimsby. All are welcome for self guided and guided hikes on Saturday, May 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This 25 acre, 10 hectare woodlot is the largest in Niagara found below the Niagara Escarpment and is being threatened by the proposed extension of Livingston Avenue, in Grimsby. Niagara Region has been carrying out an Environmental Assessment, EA, for the proposed extension of the road from Casablanca Ave to Oakes Rd since May, 2014. The proposed road would cut right through the heart of the woodlot threatening its continued ecological significance. Ja Irish, has a deep affinity for the property. “We are delighted to know
how important the woodlot has become to the community,” said Irish. “My grandfather started to work on this land in 1915 and the family is now entering its second century of stewardship of this significant woodland. Why would the Region of Niagara want to remove a key piece of this irreplaceable part of our natural history and a legacy? “Why would the Region plan on spending money on this study and a possible road leading into areas outside of the Town’s Urban Boundary and into the Greenbelt when the nearby and parallel Main St. W. is already there? It has been frustrating to deal with the unfinished EA which has now been going on for a year without being able to learn about its progress.” The Irish Grove Woodlot and the surrounding lands

are in the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt Plan is being reviewed by the Province in 2015. By visiting this woodland the public will gain important insights into the woodlot and its role to the quality of life in the community and the Greenbelt. A barbecue will be offered by M&M Meats at the open house with proceeds going to FORT, a youth centre, in Grimsby. Please visit our facebook page - Save the Woodlot.

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO! Miss me, but let me go! When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the times that we once shared, Miss me, but let me go! For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. It’s all part of the Master Plan. A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds; Miss me, but let me go! Love from Mom and Keith, Dad and Marilyn, Linda and Logan, Keith, (Jr.), Bev, Danielle, Kristen, Darren and Ethan

Coming up roses
Grimsby Firefighter Boot Drive was the most successful ever this year, generating $7,000 for Rose Cottage visiting volunteers, and $3,000 to assist Vallary Hallady, a Grimsby resident who was paralyzed in a swimming pool accident. On hand for the RC presentation were: (L to R) firefighter Jim Bergshoeff, RC board member Bill Lloyd, RC executive director Sherry Cain, RC board Chair Faye Kendel, RC board member Wally Wyshniowsky and firefighter Darryl Hersics.
Peach Kings crush opponents While NHL teams were preparing to embark on their run for the Stanley Cup, coach John DeTullio and his Grimsby Peachkings PeeWee A squad were tightening their hold on Grimsby’s first Ontario Hockey Federation title. The Squad rolled over the competition as they had done all year, earning a 4-2 win in the finals against Woodstock. While winning for this group is nothing new, it was essentially their second OMHA crown, it is tremdously exciting and the boys, as well as their families and coaches should be very proud. Well done, fellas! M.W.
Despite decrease, taxpayers still pay Last week was Grimsby council’s moment in the sun to be sure. A five per cent tax decease does not come along every day. That measure taken for the 2015 municipal portion of Grimsby residents’ tax bill is the largest single tax deduction I have seen at any level in nearly 30 years of covering councils of all shapes and sizes. It would have been very easy for council to find ways to live up to their 2014 tax income level. Council certainly found ways to spend some of it and one has to wonder if some of those measures were needed. Grimsby has always run a progressive financial ship. Way back in the 90s and early 2000s when transfer payments to municipalities were being cut every year Grimsby always tightened its belt and maintained a long series of zero increase budgets. Yes, they dipped into reserves to do it on occasion, but the council of that day did not want to get into increases and did what they had to do to keep a lid on that. They had no way of knowing, but that strategy paid off as the change in how local hydro utilities were managed came along and dropped a big sack of money in the Town’s lap – every year, mind you. Over the years, there has been a lot of stress between council and hydro’s management
MIKE WILLISCRAFT board because, along with the dough, comes complete autonomy for the hydro utility. It is a unique private company. It does not have to disclose financial information to the public, even though the public (the Town of Grimsby) is its sole shareholder. That fact has not sat well with some members of council over the years who have been frustrated by what they deem a lack of clarity and transparency in the manner with which the hydro board conducts itself. Now that is a matter for another day and one might say the “bad” of that situation, while there is no denying the financial benefit is the good side of that business arrangement. That noted, in the case of this year’s budget, it is the taxpayers of Grimsby who need the pat on the back, not council. It is the taxpayers who saw a big chunk of their money added to their tax bill 10 years ago to pay for the building spree the council of that day went on. The basic infrastruc-
ture of any community is its town hall, arena and library. Well Grimsby rebuilt all of that in a remarkably short time. And their costing included what turned into a money pit of an overhaul in the new town hall which went waaaay over budget. To achieve that, the bill was handed to taxpayers 10 years ago and it was paid off. If council had opted to remain status quo with a lot of things, the tax reduction would have been much larger. Without getting into minutia, you really don’t have to look any further than eight new hires to figure out council cashed in on the one-time windfall. They could get pretty much everything they wanted with all departments and still have a reduction of some level. Now, this is not to say the hires may not be needed or other measures taken are not appropriate. It is important to point out that there was no magic and, if council chose, their collective belts could have remained more tight. With a planned new fire Station 2 with training facility as well as a new biodigester for which to pay, a couple more big ticket items are coming down the pipe. Eight hires is a ton of annual expense and I don’t know of another windfall which may transpire in future years, so it would seem small increases will return in the future.
