Egg Hunt Schedule
Every Bowl
By Mike Williscraft NewsNow
Next month’s Every Bowl Full is one of Community Care of West Niagara’s best supported events of the year, but that does not mean the organization is sitting on its laurels.
New features have been added for the May 6 event, hosted “under the tent at Fieldstone at Bench Brewing Company.”
With Purolator’s Tackle Hunger program, anyone who cannot attend that day can still support CCWN.
“How about hosting a food drive or filling a red bag, which are available at CCWN for anyone
CCWN manager of community engagement Lynda O’Donnell and outreach coordinator Emma Shipley display a couple of the Every Bowl Full promotional materials.

"Zoi and her team were the perfect solution to my house sale challenges. Zoi’s strategic planning and staging, Kate’s attentive and reassuring follow-ups, and Caitlyn’s administrative support made for a quick sale (an offer made in two days) and a relatively stress-free process – it was actually fun! I absolutely recommend Zoi and team for Niagara real estate needs. They were such a pleasure to work with, and my quick sale for just over asking price has allowed me to buy my next home and plan for the next stage in my life. Thank you Team!"

Powerline workers from Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. stepped up last week to help Ontarians who were still without power after an icestorm late last month.
“We were asked to assist in Peterborough as it got hit hard by the storm as they had 24,000 customers without power and now they still have 11,000 customers without power,” said NPEI’s vice-president of communications, Sue Forcier, who added the crew was dispatched April 1 and will return late this week.
Hydro One is facing extensive damage caused by freezing rain and ice accumulation, marking the most severe weather event the utility has encountered since the ice storm of 1988.
“We are proud to offer our powerline skilled workers to support power restoration efforts,” said Shanon Wilson, NPEI’s senior vice-president of asset management.
NPEI powerline workers have been helping powerless Peterborough area residents with their restoration efforts.

We are about to complete our 13th year of serving our dedicated readers and advertisers in Niagara West! That seems hard to believe, but it’s true.

If you’re looking to social media for information, good luck. It’s a cesspool of misinformation. In short, if it moves, we’re on it! And we still have a lot to do. By helping us out with a voluntary subscription you can support that goal

Dear Editor, Some people love to make life in Town difficult. Why not make the whole Town 40km!
This way it’s constant gridlock, just like a city! Bad enough as it is with motorist turning left onto Mountain St. from Main St.
These people are clueless or they refuse to follow the law. And remember all these new condos being built to enhance our small town vibe? More people, more traffic and let’s all crawl at 40km. It’s never good when an accident occurs and worse when injuries occur, but to be honest Grimsby is a safe town for drivers over all. It’s always a few grumblers and helicopter parents who make it difficult for the majority
of us. Thankfully, there are other roads to take you through town.
Niagara Region needs to find another project to focus on - like proper road identification.
What is the official road name from QEW off ramps, in either direction, where you stop at Christie and Ontario heading east, and Ontario and Christie heading west?
If you’re in an accident on these roads, how do you describe where you are?
Time for town to step up and push back. Our taxes are high enough. Represent your taxpayers more please!
Cam Agnew, Grimsby
Region should employ flashing lights
Dear Editor,
My heartfelt thanks to Michael Laspa for his expert opinion of this “plan” and to Fred Rauscher for calling it what it is, “a blatant money grab”.
If the regional officials who put this plan in place are elected to their positions, I would like someone to spell out their names, so that we know who to vote out next time they are up for re-election.
If this was really about safety there would be a flashing light at each location when the speed restriction is active. The fact that they refuse to install such a light is proof that it is about the money not the safety.
Jean Coombs, Grimsby
Slow down, problem solved
Dear Editor, In response to Fred Rauscher’s letter of April 3/25.
As a veteran emergency responder and a fleet driving examiner, I would like to point out to Mr. Rauscher that the cost of having police patrol and ticket speeders would be a huge
expense to the public. Public safety is always an issue, especially in high risk areas. So, to be perfectly frank, if you didn’t speed, you wouldn’t have a problem. People, just don’t get it. So, slow down, be aware, problem solved. Bruce Laing, Beamsville

More to come on speed cameras
Just so you are aware, good reader, there is more brewing with the Niagara Region speed camera situation. Tons of letters have been coming in, along with phone calls and texts.
Generally, ALL want our roads to be as safe as possible and even those who simply say, “just obey the rules of the road and you won’t get a fine” can see the program is designed as a money grab - and there are many reasons for that.
A Niagara resident made an interesting delegation at a meeting this week, which will be followed up for next week’s edition as the timeline was too tight for a proper story for this week, but a legal challenge is in the offing, as well as a push to have the program scrapped. M.W.
Take stock before cooking tourism recipe
Blessed Trinity’s robotics team coach Jim Yip couldn’t be more proud of his boys and rightly so.
The team of Lucas Finocchi, Raedon Jacobs and Gabriel D’Alessio is the first from BT to qualify for the World Robotics Competition. That is pretty cool, for several reasons.
First, it’s a great example of local youth doing good things...nothing but upside there.
Second, from Jim’s description, it is also an example of ingenuity and not accepting the status quo but pushing the limits through well-reasoned innovation.
That is something else the world could use more of.
One of the examples Jim gave was the “underglow” feature to allow judges and spectators to know which side of the match (blue or red) they were on.
As well, building in a colour sensor so their creation could discard any wrong-coloured donuts it picked up as part of the competition. Right coloured donuts score points. Wrong coloured donuts cause points to be deducted....and I am greatly simplifying there before the scoring process is quite complete during their two-minute matches.
These two features were above and beyond the outline of what this year’s competition would be. The team looked at the specs, put in the work to build their robot, but then were prepared to upgrade mid-season and add the colour sensor feature midway through the qualify-
ing rounds. It was that kind of innovation in an already highly creative process which helped get the boys to Dallas.
As Jim noted during our conversation, the boys were left on the outside by the slimmest of margins as a 7-1 record at the provincial qualifier was needed to crack the top four. With their 6-2 record, they were still on the outside looking in.
But the judges allowed special consideration since one of their games was lost by only one point, plus this trio had been very innovative in their process in a manner which earned them a design award along the way AND punched their ticket to the Worlds. So, good on them!
Well done, fellas, and best of luck in Dallas.
Next week, Wednesday, April 16, the Town of Grimsby will start its process to “shape the future of tourism” in town.
And not a moment too soon.
“Tourism” in town has been ignored ad nauseum over decades simply be-
cause local officials didn’t take two minutes to figure out what tourism actually is.
No, Grimsby does not have a Niagara Falls scale attraction. Who does?
No, Grimsby does not have dozens of wineries on beautiful landscaped properties as Lincoln enjoys.
I will get to what Grimsby does have later, but what people need to keep an open mind about - to allow the process to go above and beyond as the BT kids didis the definition of tourism. Tourism encompasses the activities of people traveling to places outside their usual environment for leisure, business or other purposes. Any time someone comes into your town - whether it be Grimsby, Beamsville, Jordan Village or Smithville - and spend money, that is tourism. They could come for a hockey game, a museum exhibit, the hawk watch, a stroll along the boardwalk at GOTL (if they can find parking) or to play in a lawn bowling tournament....that is tourism.
Grimsby has great waterfronts, walking trails, yes, a couple of wineries, and other natural features. The town has work to develop what it does have to enhance and promote those unpolished gems.
So, if you attend either the April 16 or May 1 public meetings at town hall to offer your input, make sure you step back and take a full inventory of what’s in the cupboard before you decide how to cook up the tourism recipe.

Suspicious inquiries spur NRP to issue alert notice
Niagara Regional Police are currently investigating two separate incidents involving suspicious individuals in Grimsby who randomly approached residences. These occurrences took place from 3-5 p.m. last week.
In both instances, two individuals approached residences where vehicles were parked in the driveway. The individuals proceeded to knock on doors and inquire if the vehicles were for sale, despite there being no “For Sale” signage or indication that the vehicles were being advertised. At this time, the intentions of these individuals remain unclear. As a precaution, police are reminding all residents to
remain vigilant and to exercise caution when approached by unsolicited people at their home.
Police remind all:
• Avoid opening the door immediately – use a security camera, or window to see who’s there. If you don’t recognize the person or weren’t expecting anyone, it’s okay not to answer.
• Ask for Identification - legitimate professionals will carry ID and be able to show credentials.
Never be afraid to take your time and inspect it – genuine workers will understand.
• Never share personal information – don’t give out details about who lives in the home, your schedule, or whether you

• Report suspicious activity – if someone seems off, lingers, or is aggressive, trust your instincts, and report the suspicious behaviour.
• Talk to neighbours – keep an open line of communication with trusted neighbours. If someone comes to your door unannounced, let others know in case they try again nearby.
• Be wary of pressure tactics
- never be forced into a quick decision at the door. Take some time to think it over and never make decisions on the spot.
