West Lincoln targets illegal soil dumping By Tristan Marks NewsNow The Township of West Lincoln needs help from the community to curb the illegal dumping of fill which has been plaguing the municipality recently. The township held a public information meeting Aug. 13 at the Caistor Community Centre to heighten
awareness of the issue and a 2016 site alteration by-law meant to deal with it. West Lincoln’s director of planning, Brian Treble, was on hand to explain how residents can submit complaints to inform the township regarding illegal dumping they see and how they can conform to by-laws for their
own site alterations. “The dumping has gone far beyond what we’ve had up until now, this year,” he said. According to Treble, there have been numerous recent incidents with residents offering citizens fill soil. Treble defined fill soil as that which sits beneath the top soil normally used for gar-
dening and farming. He gave one startling example of a resident who agreed to take 10 truck loads of soil to level his property but came home to find 600 loads dumped there. That example also illustrated why complaints have to be submitted quickly, as the companies dumping
this soil exist outside of the township’s jurisdiction and fraud charges are beyond the by-law’s purview. He explained that dump trucks need to be caught in the act within West Lincoln’s borders to be served by-law charges. “We try to be as quick as we can,” said Treble.
“Contact us, as early action prevents long cleanup.” Otherwise, residents are “on the hook” for the soil on their property, said Treble. Citizens need to be especially cautious if the top soil contains contaminants. Normally this would be outlined in a soil analysis See SOIL, Page 3

rector, Cheryl KeddyScott said that the community’s support goes a long way during this time. “Back to school time can be a burden to families,” she said. “Like our motto says, it takes a village to help out.” Members of the community can also choose to sponsor a child for $50. “Normally it takes $75 to sponsor a child for the knapsack program, but this year it’s only $50 thanks to our community partnerships,” said KeddyScott. Village of Hope meets with families individually to see if they qualify for the program. There are 100 registrants from Kindergarten all the way up to college this year. This is the most registrants ‘knapsacks for Kids’ has had in all its 32 years. Keddy-Scott said that the program lets kids picks up their supplies a week before school starts so that they can “focus on having a good start and not on the anxiety of not having what they need.” During this week, Village of Hope will host barbecues and activities for the kids who stop by.

Residents can submit complaints to Brian Treble by calling his office at 905-9573346 ext. 5138, emailing him at btreble@ westlincoln.ca, calling the building & by-law department at ext. 51340 or by going online to the ‘contact us’ page on westlincoln. ca. Residents can also go in person to submit a written complaint to the West Lincoln town hall at 318 Canborough St. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority can also pursue wider investigations regarding this issue if given enough information.
News Now • Thursday, August 22, 2019 • Page 3 West Lincoln Citizens can submit tips in the Conservation Authority’s anonymous complaint line by calling 289-407-0495 or emailing tip@npca.ca. One resident, Lavinia Sharp, said that the illegal operations often work under the cover of darkness. “They’re doing it at night,” she said. “They’re loud, cumbersome and when they go into lots they track mud back onto the road with them. It’s happening all days of the week now.” She also said that the dumping is affecting the local environment negatively. “Not only are they messing up the water and run-offs, but we’ve had to physically stand in the way of trucks to prevent
them from hitting endangered wildlife,” said Sharp. The by-law allows for farmers and other citizens with legitimate site alteration plans. It calls for three levels of response. Those needing less than 50 loads do not need any approval, although Treble suggested they sign a statement confirming that the soil is clean. For 50-100 loads, residents must notify the township’s staff. Anyone requiring more than 100 loads must receive approval from town council and notify their adjacent neighbours before proceeding with any development. “The message is not “don’t get more fill”,” said Treble. “It’s more ‘let’s work together’.”

Can you afford your home once you retire? The key is to start planning early, before you actually retire! Two solutions to investigate: • Be proactive - obtain access to credit before your employment ends. Set up a Home Equity Line of Credit. Once it’s in place, you will not be required to requalify if/when you eventually need it. The interest rate will fluctuate in accordance with the financial institution’s Prime lending rate.
• Re-write your existing mortgage for a 30-year amortization, and go with a 5-year fixed-term or longer, so that you are insulated from probable future Prime interest rate hikes. Current fixed-term rates are under 4%. Invest the mortgage proceeds now, to provide you with an investment income once you retire. • Look at converting your existing mortgage to a Reverse Mortgage - no repayment is required, and you will never be forced to move or sell your home. The proceeds of a Reverse Mortgage are tax-free, and you can opt for lumpsum payment or smaller advances throughout the year. For more information, please contact me. I appreciate the opportunity to help you make your home-ownership more affordable.

A ‘card not present’ fraud has popped up in Niagara, according to Niagara Regional Police. This occurs when a business receives an order by email, phone, or otherwise and neither the cardholder nor the payment card are present for the transaction. Typically, a large order for merchandise is placed using a payment card that is later found to be fraudulent or stolen. In many cases, the merchandise is picked up or delivered prior to the payment card being discovered as stolen, resulting in a charge back on the business. This scam has been predominantly targeting businesses that provide construction and/or home improvement materials (such as lumber, garage doors, wire, etc). The NRP is advising businesses to be vigilant when receiving “card not present” orders, and take steps to verify the legitimacy of the order.

Summer Street Party does it again The 2nd annual Summer Street Party - which raised more than $160,000 for local charities took over Main St. on Saturday, Aug. 17. Thousands of visitors from all over Grimsby, Niagara West and beyond came out for an evening of great music, fun activities and tasty food hosted by Homes by DeSantis, Forty Public House and NewsNow. Highlights included an exotic car show, inflatable bouncy houses and musical line up for all ages. Headlining the event was internationally renowned Canadian country music star, Tebey, who enthralled the crowd well into the evening. Event proceeds were split equally and donated four ways to the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Grimsby Benevolent Fund, Habitat for Humanity and Gillian’s Place. “What a great party,” said Gabe DeSantis, president of the evenings’s title sponsor, Homes by DeSantis. “We saw community spirit united in a common goal of supporting four local charities while having fun.” “A special thanks must also be given to our development and housing businesses who really came to the table with their sponsorship dollars enabling us to make a $160,000 donation to the four deserving organizations. We (Homes By DeSantis) feel privileged to lend our support to numerous local charities. This charitable work is the legacy about which my family is most proud and the one we hope will inspire future generations.”

Zacada Circus performs aerial show Saturday at the Peach Festival
By Joanne McDonald For NewsNow The Winona Peach Festival will be reaching new heights this year with Zacada Circus setting up a sky high aerial rig for a thrilling show of artistry and talent, Saturday, Aug. 24 at 1 p.m. “We are setting up an aerial rig, 22 ft., like a giant swing set,” Zacada owner Christine Cadeau said of preparations to showcase the skill of the show team. There will be an aerial cube act, aerial hoop and a Spanish web performed to the ‘Survivor’ music. “It’s very
empowering,” Cadeau said. The lineup includes show team member Chloe Williams who will be performing a Spanish web act. “Chloe, who started in the recreational class has a lot of drive. Once she decided she wanted it, nothing could stop her,” Cadeau said. The Spanish web is an aerial circus skill in which a performer climbs and performs various tricks on an apparatus resembling a vertically hanging rope covered in cloth material. “It requires a lot of strength for Chloe
to do the poses and drops,” Cadeau said. Other highlights will include a contortion act by Edie CampbellCowie and Kayley Pettit will be mastering the silks. It’s hard to match the excitement of a Zacada production. Owners and world-ranked athletes Cadeau and Kosta Zakharenko travelled the world with the Cirque du Soleil show ‘Quidam’ and 12 years ago launched the circus school. Their productions are renowned for the artistry and choreography. See PEACH, Page 10

Iron Girl 2019
The weekend of Aug. 10-11 managed to have ideal conditions for this year’s version of the Subaru Iron Girl competition in Grimsby. The 5 km and 1 km races were conducted on Aug. 10 while the triathlon sprint - 500 m swim/20 km bike/5 km run - went Sunday, Aug. 11. This was the scene for the swim portion at Nelles Beach Park. Submitted Photo
Well, that couldn’t have gone better Saturday’s Summer Street Party in downtown Grimsby went about as well as a community event could go. Rain started the day but by early afternoon it was a stellar day and that remained the case through set-up and the arrival of event-goers when things got started at 5 p.m. Steady crowds, lots to do, some cool sports cars and a great deal of money raised for local charities was a recipe for success. The team at Homes By DeSantis - including president Gabe DeSantis and director of sales and marketing Serina Carbone - deserve a great deal of credit, as does Mark Wood of Forty Public House. Year 2 is in the books and all are already looking ahead to 2020. Few events pull down $160K and it takes a lot of work to get there. It will be tough to top next year, but who knows? M.W.
Enter homecraft categories, make a memory I sure miss the Poultryfest. Anyone else out there? I think, for that reason, I am looking forward to the Sept 6-8 version of the West Niagara Fair more than normal. I grew up in a town of 3,000. It was extremely rural. Just off the backyard of our property - which was literally on the edge of town - were farmers’ fields and ponds as far as the eye could see. Besides the harness races at the hometown Clinton Raceway track on Sundays through the summer, it was a very sleepy, typical Ontario small town. The Spring fair was THE event of the year by far....and 165 years on, it still is. It would be safe to assume that is why I have such an affinity for community events - like the just completed Summer Street Party. These events not only help form the community’s spirit but also provide an important opportunity for largescale socialization of neighbours, friends and family. That kind of aspect to events - while becoming quite the dinosaur - is nonetheless more important than ever. Creating memories with family is far more important than chatting online or worrying where your next selfie will come from. A walk along Main Street Saturday evening connected me with many people I had not seen in at least a year, some for several years. It’s not unlike walking through the West Niagara Agriculture Centre’s grounds at an event, shooting photos at Smithville’s Santa Claus parade or at Beamsville Miracle on King event. Depending where I go, there is a separate set of contacts - people who I
MIKE WILLISCRAFT worked with and for in various capacities - over my tenure in Niagara West. I look forward to those opportunities as it very much keeps me connected to everything going on in our area. Poultryfest, like the fall fair, seem to be what I relate most to. When I was a kid I used to be in the Junior Gardiners. Entering the flower arranging and growing categories usually meant I would win my spending money for the fair in the fair’s homecraft competitions. That was pretty sweet when you’re 10. West Niagara Fair has an excellent homecraft competition. Talk about making memories...go to the WNF website and download the homecraft prize book. I can guarantee there will be categories in there where you can make things with your kids (or any family member or friend) and see who wins the day. You never know, you may win your spending money. ******* Nobody wants to compete in the “who has the worst illegal fill problem” competition, but Grimsby and West Lincoln are neck and neck in that one. Grimsby - in a structural make-up sense - has major traffic problems with its linear shape, but it is a
major benefit when it comes to tracking and monitoring truck traffic. There are only a couple of roads on which dump trucks can navigate the community, legally. West Lincoln has a much larger problem with entry points, too many to monitor. What the companies doing all the dumping on Kemp Road must love where Grimsby is concerned, though, is the proximity to the QEW from Mississauga or wherever they happen to be coming from on a given run. With West Lincoln, they have active fill sites all over the place. And, as Mayor Dave Bylsma noted when I spoke to him for a story a couple of weeks ago, if the township manages to go through the process to get a site shut down, the operators have an option ready and waiting, post a sign on the initial site, and trucks trundle on down the road to the new spot. Grimsby and Lincoln have been working together on this very serious issue. Good for them. There are several instances where Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln can - if not should - work together on various topics. Tourism is another one. The flow of traffic is, obviously, east-west as travellers either make their way into the GTA and/or beyond or head into Niagara or proceed into the U.S. There are lots of possibilities, but no sense starting something anew until we see what Premier Ford has up his sleeve with the regional governance review findings expected to be rolled out this October. That said, it’s great to see the communities working together to solve common problems.
