2024 Polar Bear breaks its fundraising record By Joanne McDonald NewsNow A record-breaking number of swimmers welcomed the new year by braving Lake Ontario for the annual Grimsby Polar Bear Dip. The snow held off, but the temperature was zero and the waves were choppy as

200 hearty souls faced the cold shock and shivering of the quick run and dip. “It was the largest crowd to take the dip in the event’s 15-year history,” organizer Gavin Lutz said after the event. Monday’s plunge into the water at Bal Harbour

also raised the most money ever. “We raised $8,800, about $3,000 more than last year,” Lutz said. “It was incredible.” “Grimsby really cares about its community, it’s a great way to start the new year and it’s raising money

for a good cause.” Lutz said the event has now raised $43,000 over the past 15 years for McNally House Hospice. “They do such great work and they touch so many lives,” Lutz said. “It’s the least we can do for the community.”

A testament to that work, swimmers shared some of their own reasons for taking the plunge. Paul Dominick lost a friend last year. Many would remember Hank Henrikson, 90, as the longtime caretaker at St. Joseph Church in Grimsby. See SWIM, Page 17

Here we are, happy in our new home by the lake. Moving from 2,000 square feet to 700 square feet was always going to be a challenge, but it was made easier with the help of The Lynn Fee Team. Wendy and Tracey and the team were wonderful! Everybody involved was FIRST CLASS. From the selling of our home, to the purchase of the condominium, we were in great, experienced hands. What difficulties we encountered were quickly resolved. No problem was too great, or too small - you solved them all to our satisfaction. Thank you for your patience and guidance. The team was very professional and ALWAYS THERE when needed. We will gladly recommend you to anyone who wants their house sold or bought.

As the dust has settled on closing my Mom's estate, and I was tidying up the paperwork this morning, I realized that I neglected to send you a note to say 'THANK YOU!' You didn't catch us at our best, I'm afraid, and nothing about this journey has been easy for my brother and I to wade through. I'm sure these are situations that you see all the time, and I thank you sincerely for your grace, expertise, patience and tenacity in getting us through one of the most difficult, and thankfully final, aspects of closing our parents' estate. It doesn't bring much joy to do any of this, but you are who we have to thank for securing and finalizing our parents' most significant financial legacy for us - giving us both a comfortable nest egg to move forward with. Especially comforting during such challenging financial times. I wish the new tenants of my parent's home as much happiness and love that my Mom and Dad shared in that house - and I thank you and your team most sincerely for your help in getting it passed along to them.

Peter and Brenda T. | SOLD 3 Forest Road · Grimsby I want to say, on behalf of Bob and I, how impressed we were with the service we received. From writing up a very impressive listing, to staging our home, to keeping us informed on every viewing, The Lynn Fee Team always kept us up-to-date on what was happening. Right up to the offer and even after our property sold. Bob and I can only say that this has been the best experience on selling our home. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Bob and Nancy H. | SOLD 123 Roselawn Crescent · Welland

Selling our house was such a great experience with The Lynn Fee Team. I was amazed at their level of professionalism, care and efficiency. Each member of the team simply owns their task/role, and does it so well. We felt very well taken care of. From the initial contact to the sale, it was such a pleasure to work with them. The honest answers, the great communication, the staging and tips, the follow ups, and personal touches were so appreciated. Our house SOLD IN 5 DAYS and this team had a major role in that. I would 100% use them again and recommend you do as well.

West Lincoln CAO, Bev Hendry retires suddenly

TIRES

AT COST ANY MAKE | MODEL | TIRE*

455 S Service Rd, Grimsby | GRIMSBYFORD.COM *MUST MOUNT AND INSTALL AT GRIMSBY FORD. MAJOR NATIONAL BRANDS ONLY, AS AVAILABLE. MINIMUM 4 REQUIRED TO RECEIVE DISCOUNT PRICE.

The Township of West Lincoln chief administrative officer, Bev Hendry, gave notice of her retirement just prior to Christmas in a move which surprised many municipal officials. Despite that, Mayor Cheryl Ganann said it will be business as usual at town hall. “We are deeply grateful for Bev’s integrity, dedication, hard work and her strong leadership in such an integral role as CAO,” said Ganann in a release. “We wish Bev all the very best in her future endeavours and thank her for her years of service and commitment to the Township of West Lincoln.” Hendry had garnered substantial respect in Niagara since joining West Lincoln as CAO in 2018, making significant contributions to the Township and to the West Lincoln

community at large. Through a global pandemic, ever-changing government legislation and an exponential growth rate, Hendry supported her staff and partners through strategic leadership, improving service delivery while navigating many unforeseen obstacles, said Ganann. “The Township extends sincere gratitude to Hendry for her service and offers heartfelt congratulations on her retirement,” Gannan said. A thorough recruitment process will begin in January, to hire a new CAO to build upon the accomplishments Hendry made in her five years with the township. The senior management team will be assisting with CAO duties on a rotational basis in the interim. For notifications and important updates, remember to follow the Township of West Lincoln on Facebook, X and Instagram @TWPWestLincoln.

7 Kerman Avenue

19 Mountain Street

THE REASON for the proposed designation is to recognize the architectural value of the building in context of its contribution to the heritage character of the Town of Grimsby.

The house at 7 Kerman Avenue was built in 1893 by the notable John Kerman. The house is a rare and unique and intact example of the Shingle-Queen Anne architectural style. John Kerman was a well-known and much respected Grimsby resident. John started the first Greenhouses within Grimsby on the property, having a specialty in roses.

19 Mountain Street is representative of the Eastlake-Stick Victorian architectural style, and is the only example found within Grimsby. The style was started by Charles Eastlake who was a British architect and furniture designer. The property at 19 Mountain Street has direct associations with the Grout family, Kenneth Grout (the son of John Grout) worked with his father at Grout Agricultural Works, and lived within the residence at 19 Mountain Street while operating the foundry.

About the Planning Application:

File No. 1601-002-24 and Name: Public Consultation – “Backyard Chickens” As a result of a request presented to the Planning Committee of the Township of West Lincoln, it has been decided to have a public discussion about the appropriateness of permitting chickens on a small scale basis accessory to residential use. This is often referred to as “backyard chickens”. A variety of scenarios must be given consideration including the appropriateness of backyard chickens on residential lots in Smithville, residential lots in hamlets and residential lots in the agricultural area. Often times, roosters are problematic and the chickens are limited in numbers with provisions on standards, setbacks from lot lines, etc. No regulations are proposed at this time until there is a sense of support or not from the West Lincoln Community. This is your opportunity to provide your thoughts, either pro or con, as it relates to the issue of changing the zoning by-law to permit backyard chickens on property other than farm land where poultry farm operations are permitted. If you have any questions about this application, please contact the following planner: Name: Brian Treble Email: btreble@westlincoln.ca How to have your comments heard: Please submit your written comments to jpaylove@westlincoln.ca with the file number for the application by 4 PM Friday February 2nd, 2024 to have them included in Staff’s report for the application. If you submit comments after this date, they will not be included in Staff’s report. Please ensure all comments have been submitted prior to Friday February 9th, 2024 at 4pm. Any comments received after Friday, February 2nd, 2024 and before Friday, February 9th, 2024 will be read into the public record during the specified meeting.

OBITUARIES

ROBERTSON, Joyce

Please call to place your Classified Ad

289-235-9500 OBITUARIES

BAGINSKI, Klaus-Dieter

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of KlausDieter Baginski, predeceased by the love of his life Lynn (2007).

He was born in Germany and came to Canada over 50 years ago to start anew. He worked at Dofasco for almost 40 years. He loved to travel and kept talking about one day going on another trip, all the way until his passing. We are sure he is traveling the world enjoying the food and drinks. He loved coming out to anything that involved his children or grandchildren. From a science fair to a hockey game, you were sure to see him there. His passion for his family was overflowing. He was the first person to offer help to someone. He would offer you the shirt off his back, which makes sense since he was quite often not wearing a shirt. He will be missed by his partner Cathy. Tears are being shed by his children Andrew, Erich, Kathryn (Chris) and step children Christine, Brent, Shannon, Mel and Mark (Jenny). His grandchildren are heartbroken of their Opa being gone. Kyrsten (Ben), Chantelle, Sarah, Billy, Jack, Adam and great grandchildren Bee, Melody and Bowen. Billy considered Opa his best friend. They would spend many days together chatting at his kitchen table or hanging out in his garage, and fetching his lottery tickets. Arrangements have been entrusted to Tallman Funeral Homes Ltd., 3277 King Street, Vineland, ON. Visitation will be held Thursday January 4, 2-4 & 6-8 pm.

Tommy was a proud retiree of Stelco and an avid Toronto Maple Leafs fan; however, his greatest pleasure was spending time with his family. Tommy was a devoted dad to Isobel (Lawrence) and Dave (Tandra), and an amazing Papa to Rob (Veronica), Jamie (Mackenzie), Beth, Jordyn (predeceased), Kealy, and Tommy. As per his request, Tommy has been cremated, and a celebration of life service will occur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to McNally House, Grimsby Hospice.

Gillian graduated from Georgian College, Barrie, with a 3-year diploma in tourism management, leading to her job as a travel agent in Fonthill and with Clarkson Travel, Mississauga. Her Adventurous spirit took her from the Rocky Mountains to Perth, Australia. She used her jobs in western Canada as an opportunity to hike and snowboard. Gillian worked as a lift attendant at Sunshine Mountain Lodge. Looking out from her small booth at the top of Sunshine, Gillian wrote poetry. Then it was front desk at Deer Lodge, Lake Louise and Emerald Lake Lodge in B.C. where she greeted Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda arriving on their motorcycles. In Australia, on a 1-year work VISA, Gillian worked for a telephone company, learned to surf and took her parents on a trip of a lifetime. She accompanied them to the desert, The Outback, and the edge of the Indian and sourthern oceans. Gillian was never defined by her addiction.

Six years was a long time Hey Trevor Willis! George Stroumboulopoulos says “Hi”. To explain....Christmas is always a banana time for any community newspaper. Tighter deadlines, all are very busy both work and personally, and distractions abound. Such was the case this year in our humble little office. The fact that timing of press/ delivery dates allowed for a full week break in between Christmas and New Years compounded things for Catherine and me as we planned my first full week off in six years. That’s right, baby! A whole week! Ten days, actually. Our kids all are at an age where they have other things on the go, so we took off. In the back of my mind all along, was a press release I got back in late 2022 when AmTrack/VIA Rail announced the Maple Leaf - a run from Toronto to New York was being reinstated. Reading the information, I was shocked to see you could pick up a train at Ontario Street in Grimsby and hop off 12 hours later in Manhattan - at Madison Square Gardens (also Penn Station), no less. With that nugget in mind, we planned bookended weekends in The Big Apple with a Caribbean cruise out of New Jersey sandwiched in. The first weekend included The Nutcracker, while the first opera for both of us highlighted the second weekend - which was really just Sunday night since the cruise disembarked Sunday morn-

MIKE WILLISCRAFT ing and the performance of Carmen was that evening. And, oh ya, it was New Years Eve in New York City. It was just as off-the-hook. I am not going to spin through things in detail, but I did want to explain why things were so hairy just before we left and over deadline this week. There is always a BIG price to pay when taking time away - that is I why I have not gotten away for years. We will be doing a full feature with all the ins and outs of that trip in the spring edition of ClubWest Magazine. There were good things and bad about train adventure, but knowing what we know now, the bad can be curtailed if not eliminated. The best thing about it - I must say - is it was only $1,100 CAD for both of us in business class. When you think, if flying, time in an out of the airport, paying $50/ day or so to park, plus the uncertainty of flights being on time or even taking off, it makes $550/person look pretty good. Now, back to my opener...

ever since I was a kid and going to Toronto was a big adventure, I have had a habit of running into someone I know in the most unlikely places on the entire planet. That includes Europe, the U.S. and Caribbean. So Sunday night during the intermission of Carmen, who walks by but Strombo. I have been a fan of his back to his start at CBC and the fact he is a fellow Humber grad, well, we’re practically related. While I had lots of questions for George, I didn’t really get any in. Having seen him in action many times, his inquisitive mind did not disappoint. He had lots of questions about community newspapers and our corner of the world. It was just a 10-minute chat, but one of the unique highlights of the week to be sure. Interestingly, we chatted about the first time I met George, in the bowels of SkyDome after one of the big wrestling extravaganzas and, back in that day, circa 19992000, it was huge. I was there to take Trevor, the son of a totally awesome salesperson who worked for me back in the day, Lorri Willis. Trev, as I recall, loved Ultimate Warrior. Truth be told, I was a Ricky Steamboat guy. After the event, Trev and I were walking around and he spotted George walking toward us. We hailed him down and had another 10-minute chat. Noting this Sunday, George said to be sure to say hello to Trevor, so, “hello” from George, Trev.
