West Lincoln

Integrity commish suggests apology By Mike Williscraft NewsNow West Lincoln’s integrity commissioner has recommended Coun. Dave Bylsma apologize for comments made in a heated debate at a January council meeting. Suzanne Craig was following up on a formal complaint lodged by Coun. Terry Bell. While Bell alleged four different issues with the conduct of Bylsma, Craig cited the use of the term “transgression” in his comments about Bell and the municipality’s MURS sub-committee and that actions could have been “misleading” the public as contrary to West Lincoln’s code of conduct. Core to the issue in January was concerns Bylsma had raised regarding the MURS sub-committee in that he stated he did

not understand how features were added to the RFP for the project and disseminated to the community which were not included in the “Plan B” option which was approved by council in October 2016. Bylsma also contended that by having five members of council at the sub-committee meeting in question – chair Coun. Jason Trombetta, committee member Bell, Mayor Doug Joyner (who has noted he is ex-officio on the sub-committee), Coun. Cheryl Ganann and Coun. Joann Chechalk both at the meeting for information only - and business of the municipality having been moved forward that a quorum was constituted. In her report, Craig notes all this and points out that Trombetta further clarified

Sold out ghosts

It is good news, bad news for the ghost tours at Nelles Manor. They are a huge hit. They are also sold out, even by expanding the program. From last weekend’s action, surgeon Ken Bauman assists wounded soldier Kyle Reilly. The sold out tours continue this weekend.

Bylsma declared a conflict of interest on the item when it came up so he could not speak to the report, nor vote on it. An inquiry was also made with acting CAO Carolyn Langley regarding the cost of Bell’s complaint. Langley noted she had not received an invoice for Craig’s services for dealing with the complaint as yet. Should Bylsma choose to do so, he can issue an apology at a future council meeting or committee meeting of the municipality.

From Page 1 What the report does not state is that, in that meeting, when Bylsma pressed further on the point of how major elements of the MURS plan were changed with no council approval, CAO at that time Chris Carter stated that a “decision” was made. He did not explain how that occurred given that Trombetta claimed no votes were taken. An inquiry from NewsNow was sent

to Craig on Monday, with a follow up on Tuesday morning, regarding this point but no answers were received by press time. Also as part of Craig’s recommendations, Bylsma received a formal reprimand which Joyner read into the record on Monday night. As part of that, Bylsma was given 30 days with which to comply with the apology recommendation or council would “revisit” the matter, said Joyner.

Full house for Grimsby GO session Grimsby town hall was a bee hive of activity Monday night for a Niagara Region-hosted open house to update GO developments.

The lobby of town hall was packed almost from the start of the session which started at 5:30 p.m. Parking, residential

densities, commercial locations and Livingston extension were all part of the mix of questions. One resident, who

Brian Dick, left, acting manager of long-range planning for Niagara Region, explains one of the study to residents.

was vehement that the GO station will be underserviced for parking, noted the program will have great difficulty in building ridership with a very limited start-up of one train in, one train out at the start and end of each day. Paddy Kennedy of Dillons Consulting said the Grimsby footprint will be roughly the same size as Burlington and he sees no issue with what is projected for parking. Some residents noted the study area is larger than 500m from the station’s location at Casablanca and the South Service Road as prescribed. Kennedy said this was to avoid any “surprises”. Lincoln will host an open house Wednesday, Nov. 1 at the Fleming Centre from 5:307:30 p.m.

Are you ready to “think outside the bank?” Are you prepared for the next round of Government mortgage regulation, coming into effect January 1st, 2018?

It’s difficult to believe it’s been one whole year since the Federal Government introduced the mandatory mortgage qualifying “Stress Test” for insured mortgages, which affected many homebuyers - the most notably affected group being those entry-level buyers with less than 20% downpayment. Now, one year later, the Government is taking aim at uninsured mortgages, by enforcing a similar “Stress Test” for conventional mortgage applications. The new “Stress Test” qualifying rate for uninsured mortgages will be the greater of the “mortgage contract rate plus 2%” or the Bank of Canada Benchmark rate. As an example, if you are applying for a 7-year fixed-rate mortgage at 3.79% (your actual mortgage contract rate), you will be required to qualify at the greater of the “Stress Test” rate, which, in this example, equals 5.79%, or the Bank of Canada Benchmark rate, currently 4.89%. What does this mean for you? If you are planning to apply for a mortgage after January 1st, 2018, for the purpose of buying a home, or refinancing your current home, I strongly encourage you to consult with me now, to determine how this “2% + Stress Test” qualification may affect your future borrowing ability. More importantly, if you expect your household income to substantially decrease in the coming years, due to retirement or some other change in your employment, then it may be advisable to set up a mortgage and/or home equity line of credit now, before your income level changes. Don’t let this latest round of Government regulation catch you off guard! Talk to Us. You’ll be Impressed.

WL council moves on urban expansion While West Lincoln council approved a motion to proceed with an urban boundary expansions Monday night, it was not without a serious barb sent one councillor’s way. Council approved establishing a “draft timeline; process, study area, terms of reference and to work jointly with Regional staff to establish a budget for the entire work plan...” as well as host a public meeting on the topic before month end. Coun. Terry Bell called out Coun. Joann Chechalk, chair of the township’s Planning Committee, questioning her motive for voting against the staff report recommending the expansion analysis be approved. “No matter what staff bring forward, it seems the chair has to vote against it and put her stamp of approval on it,” said Bell, who noted Chechalk is also chair of the economic development committee and with that group “we haven’t moved an inch.” Chechalk said she would not take the bait, noting personal attacks won’t help council move forward. “I don’t want to denigrate this council,” said Chechalk, noting she operates within her rights as a councillor and she was responding to citizens’ concerns.

ClubWest travel writer earns prestigious Magellan award ClubWest Magazine travel writer Lorraine Simpson has been named a 2017 Magellan Award winner. With entries from across the Canada and around the world, the Magellan Award winners represent the best in the travel industry. Simpson won for her outstanding commitment to tourism and innovation for her Wine Club project, which was featured in the July/ August edition of ClubWest, the popular regional lifestyle magazine published by NewsNow. Simpson has been working with wineries and wine clubs across Canada to help bring new business into their wineries as well as arrange travel and events for their wine club members. So far, the project has proven very successful. Her project twins Ontario wineries with wineries in other provinces to increase visitors and therefore increase sales. The second stage of the project is to organize overseas trips through her extensive contacts. Simpson will be co-hosting two specialty River Cruises with a food and wine theme next year, one with TV chef Massimo Capra. Lorraine started her business working from home as a single, widowed mother of four.

LORRAINE SIMPSON The Magellan Awards are judged and overseen by a one-of-a-kind panel of top travel professionals representing the best names and most accomplished leaders from the industry. In determining winners, entries do not compete with one another, instead they are judged against a standard of excellence based on experience. Check out the Nov/Dec edition of ClubWest delivered to 15,000 Niagara West homes next Thursday, Nov. 2. Copies can also be picked up at NewsNow, 49 Main St. W., in Grimsby.

JUDY SWEETING Sales Representative

1. Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. 2. Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. 3. Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. 4. Teach children to make eye contract with drivers before crossing in front of them. 5. Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings. 6. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.

WLCC dinner at ag complex sells out Richardson Hall at the West Niagara Agricultural Centre was sold out for Saturday night’s 11th annual West Lincoln Community Care fundraising dinner. Guests noshed from a host of appetizer stations located around the hall during a reception, bid on a host of silent auction items, enjoyed a excellent dinner, played some pay-as-you-play games and bid on live auction items.

Brenda Zantingh and Dave Gordon look to find their respective tables.

CRAFT SHOW 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Sue and Rob Foster, Liz Benneian, Ken Kawall and Vernah Fleming were part of the tree planting contingent Saturday.

Greening Lincoln One tree at a time, Lincoln is getting more green. A small army of volunteers made short work Saturday of planting trees and shrubs at Hartwood Park in Beamsville, part of the Ontariogreen initiative. “The response has been great,” said Liz Benneian, Ontariogreen manager. “We’ve had more than 150 volunteers come out for three plantings of native species of trees and shrubs.” The group has also done plantings at St. Volodymyr and Hilary Bald parks.

Adorable ghosts

Clara Grimsmo, with Imogene Raedon Jacobs ham it up between ghost tours at Nelles Manor last weekend. The tours, which do continue this weekend, are sold out even after the schedule was expanded.

Great facility Seeing the West Niagara Agriculture Centre round into form has taken a long time. That first year, when it was expected to host the West Niagara Fair at the Mud Street location, it did not come together in time. Subsequent events had issues with parking, soft ground and mud...that kind of thing. But that is all in the past. Saturday was a first time for many to attend a major dinner in the Richardson Hall on the site. It is a beautiful building and a stellar addition to the area - nothing but positive comments from all. The West Lincoln Community Care dinner was sold out at 225. It was the capacity of the caterer, not the building (and the food was awesome!). WLCC had a great event in a great new venue. Congrats to the ag society for sticking with it and getting things ironed out so smoothly. M.W.

MURS, the gift that keeps giving Well that was a whole lotta nothin’. An exhaustive 14-page report came to West Lincoln Council Monday night: the finding of West Lincoln’s integrity commissioner, Suzanne Craig. The report is the findings of a formal complaint lodged by Coun. Terry Bell against comments made by Coun. Dave Bylsma in a lengthy and contentious debate. For anyone who was in attendance that fateful night in January of this year when the Hatfields and McCoys put on a most excellent show, they will know Bylsma’s general concerns were wellfounded and should be of immediate concern to every single taxpayer in the municipality, since they will be on the financial hook for the MURS project, which has now started construction. There was enough hot air in the council chambers that night to float Richard Branson around the world twice in his balloon. More escaped into the West Lincoln atmosphere later in the agenda on another matter, but I will set that aside for another day. The matter at hand is important now for only one reason. It speaks to the style, methodology and processes employed at the Township of West Lincoln. The whole matter really comes down to two points: 1) How you define the word “transgression” 2) Just what the heck is a quorum? First on matter #1. Craig noted - and I am simplifying greatly - Bylsma made comments with forethought but no intent of malice “with what appeared to be a reckless disregard for the truth.” So the word or use of the word transgression - to a major extent - hinges as an issue only if the comment was false. Otherwise, the conduct of council would be

MIKE WILLISCRAFT considered a transgression - if the process undertaken allowed altered a direct, approved motion of council. Simply, were Bylsma’s comments statements of trut? Whereas Craig’s assessment is - according to the report - he made his comments with a “reckless disregard for the truth”. Which brings us to #2. The heart of Bylsma’s concerns in January surrounded major design elements that were added to the “request for proposal” (RFP) process for the MURS project and which were included in materials published in local media to inform the public. One major element questioned was a 12,500 sq ft library, while a 10,000 sq ft library is what was in the Plan B which was approved by council in October 2016. There was no alteration to Plan B approved by council at any point at that point in time. The “transgression” Bylsma alleged was that at a MURS sub-committee meeting - at which five council members were present - discussion (one would have to assume) and a decision would have to have been made to pump up the offering over and above what was approved in Plan B. The decision to alter what was approved had to come from some place and must have been approved but, to date, nobody has stepped

up and admitted they acted in an arbitrary manner and did so. With Coun. Jason Trombetta, who chairs the subcommittee noting no votes were take at the meeting is a matter of blatant semantics. Sure, anyone can claim there was no formal motion or vote, but when you have the then-CAO Chris Carter stating, “There was a dialogue in the working group,” how could a reasonable person draw any other conclusion than Township of West Lincoln business was moved forward. It can be 100 per true that Trombetta’s statement of no votes being conducted is true. It can also be 100 per cent true that “there was a dialogue in the working group” and a decision was made to alter Plan B and add in the new elements which didn’t exist there before. If that happened, that is, indeed, a transgression. Such a move could have - and still could if someone wanted to be super militant about it, and has deep pockets for lawyers - scuttled the entire RFP process and caused a lengthy delay to the MURS project. Bylsma has stated at council that was never his intention. He has said repeatedly, he has no problem putting up a fight on any topic and, if he loses, moving on. The debate and democratic process is there for a reason - which would be a good lesson for Bell to pack up and put in his lunch box given his off-base comments this past Monday. I sent an inquiry to Craig noting the findings of the Ontario Ombudsman re Grimsby Energy when a majority of council attended meetings for information only. It was deemed that was a quorum. It is unfathomable that West Lincoln’s situation was not as well.
