Politicians say they’re ready to GO The fate of GTA GO link for Niagara now rests in province’s hands: Caslin By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Niagara’s politicians banded together Tuesday to show their solidarity on the drive to bring GO Transit to the Region. The vast majority of key players were on hand for a press conference which set the table in terms of the research that has been done, the strategy established and “ask”

of the provincial government. ““The level of cooperation and hard work by all municipalities and community leaders on this initiative is unprecedented in Niagara,” said Reg. Chair Alan Caslin. “We worked diligently throughout the past year to address all major issues and questions raised by the province about our proposal. The Province now has everything it

needs to make a decision on daily GO Train service to Niagara.” The decision regional officials want is a green light to bring daily, year-round GO train service to Niagara with stops in Grimsby, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls. The politicians say the expected cost of $100-$120 million would be worth it if the expected $195 million

this investment are tremendous, not only as an economic game changer for our Niagara Region but also a vital link to opportunities for people and goods between New York City and Toronto, the two largest markets in the north eastern North America.” Integral to get-

ting the attention of Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government has been the development of a solid business case. The comprehensive assessment includes capital and operating scenarios. It was completed and submitted to province in April followed by ongoing and frequent meetings with provincial officials, including the minister and deputy minister of transportation, premier’s office, Metrolinx and GO Transit.

Before you sign for another term with your current mortgage provider, ask yourself the following questions: 1. Am I being offered the best term and rate? 2. Am I comfortable with my current payments? My financial obligations may have changed recently. 3. 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, or to purchase a vacation property? 4. Has my credit score or employment changed since I last renewed my mortgage? 5. Will I sell my home soon? 6. Do I want to renovate my home, but I don’t have the funds to do so? 7. When do I want to be “mortgage-free”? Do I even know if I am on track to make that happen? Too many questions? Don’t settle for mediocre service; You’ll pay for it later. I offer you expert mortgage advice and unique mortgage solutions (like amortizations up to 35 years) from over 20 mortgage providers, including the large banks and local credit unions.

The exhibit launched Jan. 29 with a private reception. “The evening went really well, it was a full house with representatives from town council, the Rotary club/Lamplighters, as well as from the Jordan Historical Museum of the Twenty Volunteer Association and the Lincoln Ar-

chives,” said museum director Helen Booth, who noted the Archives lent some material for the exhibit. “The mayor introduced the evening and cut a ribbon we had set up. She commented on the cooperation between the museum and Lamplighters as we celebrated our local history together and mentioned that collaborations like this help make our Town come to life.” The first-time exhibit was very well received. “The attendees all commented on the exhibit. They were very pleased with how it turned out. We were very happy

Truck traffic ongoing worry Letter any detail like this being published. I noticed a diagram that was recently printed in another publication. It omitted the transportation required to feed the biodigester. The icons just illustrate that the slurry comes right from the farm next door. The tractor just rides across the field with its load to feed the biodigester. I know that isn’t going to happen. So is there any estimate on how many loads carried? And by what size trucks would be feeding this biodigester daily? Is this just one of those “little details” that hasn’t really been worked out? Or is it being conveniently omitted from the pub-

lic realm? Considering that part of the escarpment crossing recommendations include the region transferring part of the roadways to the town (so that they can put restrictions in place to reduce the use of our Mountain accesses by large trucks), I’m wondering if this would be an exercise in futility if the town is running a business that will require truck transportation? And we will never see relief from trucks? The only thing I know (by the tone at the meeting) is that residents that are concerned about truck traffic in this town won’t be impressed with any additional trucks. But in the meantime I’d like to know how many! Thanks Kathleen Durant

willing partner in our “other” community newspaper. Case in point there, a recent story proclaiming Montreal Canadiens going through pre-season training in Grimsby a century ago was a previously untold story. Not only was it in a Dorothy Turcotte book but Marilyn Owen also included that information in her excellent history on the Grimsby Peach Kings which now resides in the Hockey Hall of Fame. This type of misinformation is not helpful to the community when we decide what to think

on major issues, like the biodigester project. And on that, I noted you corrected a key point there from another published story which stated hydro’s recent power “test” was conducted with methane generated by grape pomace. It certainly was misleading to me since natural gas was brought in. So thanks for getting for the facts straight and thank you for your fine paper. There are many in town who appreciate what you are doing. Ian Peck Grimsby

Accurate information appreciated Dear Editor, For a Town that tells everyone how important history is for the community it is very odd some at town hall seem intent on rewriting it. Case in point, 270 Main St. and the recent plaque designation: named for a women who never inhabited the home. Particularly odd, the folks who did much of the restoration on the home and resided there most recently were left out of the history and not even invited to the unveiling. It certainly does not help that the municipality seems to have a

Dear Editor, I was one of the 100 citizens who attended the escarpment crossing meeting. While standing around one of the information tables with others who were voicing their concerns and asking questions, one question in particular got my attention (and there was no answer from the regional representative). She brought up the question of how much additional truck traffic was the biodigester going to bring up (and down) the escarpment? She advised that trucks could be coming in from all over the province, using our already troubled Grimsby escarpment accesses. I have tried to keep up on the discussions about the biodigester in our local media, but can’t seem to recall

Seaway trader burned, broken up, scrap sold By Skip Gillham For NewsNow The Swedish freighter Kronoland was a Seaway trader in 1963. It had been built at Gothenburg, Sweden, and completed on Jan. 27, 1951. It spent almost its entire life in saltwater trading. The 10,685 ton capacity vessel was sold to other Swedish interests and renamed Virginia in 1965, and then to Greek flag interests becoming Aelos in 1969 and finally Ais Giorgis in 1973. The last mentioned became a casualty early the next year. On Jan. 4, 1974, Ais

Shipwreck Nicolas was unloading sodium nitrate at Santos, Brazil, when a fire broke out in the cargo hold taking the life of one member of the crew. Local tugs hauled the fire ravaged ship from the dock and had it beached away from a built up area. There, the hull was abandoned and it remained, occasionally sharing the shallow water with area swimming enthusiasts. It was not until Jan. 2013, that the remains of Kronoland were broken up for scrap.

Town reviewing naming of designated Main St. home Dear Editor, Council designated the dwelling at 270 Main St. W. (now 268 Main St. W.) under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by passing By-Law 15-76 on Oct. 5, 2015. The criteria for designation are set out under the Ontario Heritage Act. A building is eligible for designation if it meets any one of the criteria for designation. The heritage assessment undertaken by Town staff and endorsed by the Grimsby Heritage Advisory Committee determined that the subject dwelling met four of the criteria for designation. The reasons for designation are contained in Schedule ‘B’ to the by-law which states the following: “Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The dwelling at 268 Main St. W. has some design value as a representation of the 191Os/20s style of late Edwardian architecture that can be found across Ontario. The Edwardian influence at 268 Main St. W. can be seen in the two-and-ahalf-storey square design, the hipped roof, three over one windows and the front facing dormer. The dwelling at 268 Main St. W. has historical value for the contribution that it makes to

the understanding of development patterns along Main Street West The dwelling at 268 Main St. W. has contextual value for its wider connections to the Town of Grimsby. Not only for its placement of land that could have been either belonging to the Petit Family or the Nixon Family of the original settlers of The Forty, but also for the Edwardian influenced architecture that brings context to other houses built in the 1910s and 1920s in Grimsby. The house would have been passed by the Hamilton Grimsby and Beamsville Electric Railway which operated a line across the north frontage of the property. Heritage Attributes The following architectural attributes have been determined to contribute to the heritage value of the building and constitute part of the Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest for 268 Main St. W.: • Hipped roof; • Dormer window; • The three over one windows; • Clapboard siding; and • Reproduction porch.” Since the designation took place, Town staff undertook further research in order to connect a person to the building for the commemorative plaque that

each designated building in Grimsby receives. This plaque is not a requirement of designation, but an interpretive item that the Town bestows on its designated properties. Staff requested input from the Heritage Advisory Committee regarding the plaque research and did not receive any input. It was then determined that “Olivia Hare, c. 1910” should be placed on the plaque based on the information that was found to that date. Following the plaque unveiling on Jan. 20,
