More projects set for Ontario St. corridor By Tristan Marks NewsNow Beamsville’s core is set to intensify with two major residential developments currently working their way through the municipality’s planning process. An 18-unit townhouse development at the south end of Alexandra Avenue and a 10-storey apartment on the northeast corner of Greenlane and Ontario are being proposed. The townhouse proposal was reviewed at

council’s July 26 Committee of the Whole meeting. The draft plan lays out 18 three-storey units arranged in a way creating a private road connecting Ontario Street to Alexandra. Site specific zoning amendments include shrinking the minimum lot area from 250 sq m to 226 sq m, shrinking the front setback for all units from 6 m to 2.7 m, the rear yard setback to 6.2 m from 7.5 m and the interior See DENSITY, Page 3

Comedy series launches to rave reviews By Tristan Marks NewsNow “It really could not have gone any better.” That was the view of Grimsby Downtown Improvement Area board president and organizer of Comedy Night in Grimsby, Mike Williscraft, after the five-night series kicked off in Coronation Park last Wednesday. A perfect summer evening, lots of laughs and a great turnout were a recipe for success for night one. “Yes, the comedians and the evening itself went very well, but it was the feeling that was behind it all which really seemed to make it work,” said Williscraft. “Every person I spoke to afterwards noted just how nice it was to get out, see people,

have some fun and get back to being a community again.” With a COVID-19 protocol capacity in place of 100 in the park, and social distancing as well for attendees, the crowd

filled out to 94-95 people in place with 12-15 people scattered around the perimeter for a few minutes at a time as they checked things out. “That went as we had

hoped. All understood the situation and certainly look forward to that 100 capacity being lifted, but for now that is what we have and that’s just fine,” said Mayor Jeff Jordan,

who is a Town liaison on the DIA and was in attendance at the first show. This week, Aug. 4, the series continues with its 7 p.m. start. See COMEDY, Page 2

Grimsby Power Staff Recognized for their Commitment to Safety Grimsby Power, your local power provider, recently achieved a milestone of 408,858 hours without a lost time incident while providing safe, reliable electricity to the Town of Grimsby. “This is a credit to our past and present employees,” said Remy Fernandes, President and CEO of Grimsby Power Inc. “Even with a strong track record, the utility doesn’t rest when it comes to Health and Safety. Our staff are committed to improving every day. It is about everyone staying safe and going home to their families.” The Joint Health & Safety committee consists of Kevin Robins, Operations Supervisor, and Kelly St. George, Foreman/ Lineman. Both men thanked the staff at the presentation lunch for their hard work and dedication in maintaining a safe environment in an industry where a small mistake can lead to serious harm or death.

“The bottom line is that it is about teamwork,” said St. George. “We look after each other and treat each other like family members.” He credits the culture of safety that was established by seasoned staff, that are

now retired. “That culture of safety was ingrained from the beginning when I arrived as an apprentice. And that mentality continues. It’s a good feeling to know we have each other’s backs, especially when we’re out in the field.” Robins said they couldn’t have achieved this milestone without the commitment of the entire staff and went on to challenge them to reach the next significant milestone of 500,000 hours without a lost time incident. A goal that will take roughly three more years to achieve. “It is exceptional in any industry for a company of this size to achieve fifteen years without a loss time incident,” said John Sherin, President of the CHEC Association, who presented the utility with a plaque in recognition of their achievement. “It speaks to the dedication of the staff and their ability to maintain a high level of Health & Safety implementation and awareness. The entire team deserves a huge congratulations for their efforts.”

Lynn Smith and Michael Martino came prepared to the inaugural Comedy Night in Grimsby chairs, table, and dinner all ready to go.

COMEDY From Page 1 With the park capacity of 100, the DIA’s plan was to focus on one of its key mandates, bring people downtown. While many noted that goal was achieved, one attendee summed it up best. “My neighbours mentioned they were heading over to the park for an event, so we tagged along bringing a couple chairs. We settled in and en-

joyed an evening of smiles and giggles. It was great to see so many enjoying this event and opportunity to come together and put smiles on faces. We can all use a little bit of that,” said John Styrna. The series runs through Wednesday, Aug. 25. All shows start at 7 p.m. and are geared to a family friendly audience. Attendees should bring a chair, blanket. No alcohol is permitted.

sideyard setback from 7.5 m to, in some cases 4.3 m and 2.4 m. The draft plan noted that these amendments are consistent with the townhouse development being built to the east of Christopher Crt. During discussion, Coun. Adam Russell noted the number of parking spaces and and the limited amount of driveway space given the front setback for units. He asked if the developer ever considered putting in underground parking for residents. Consultant Craig Rohe said the developer decided against installing underground parking due to cost and to make the project “economically viable”.

the developers not aware of these complaints, but an odour impact study was never suggested to them. However, Easton stated that she was “happy that they [the developers] haven’t gone way beyond the zoning minimums,” with their plan. Rohe said that one of the next steps will be to review and address feedback from the public and agencies before returning to Council at a later date. On a similar note, there will be a public open house on Aug. 16 to gather feedback on the proposed Greenlane apartment development. The plan is for a 10-storey mixed-use building consisting of 370 residential units, and three commercial units. The building’s foot-

Russell also pointed out that there may be privacy issues, as the units’ arrangement would cause them to overlook the backyards of neighbouring properties. Rohe said that the arrangement was necessary to be able to fit the Alexandra-Ontario connection. However, he added that privacy fencing would be built as part of the construction. Mayor Sandra Easton said that she was “not impressed with the colouration and design” of the townhouse facades, and hoped for something that would better fit surrounding aesthetics. She also asked if the developers had been made aware of the odour complaints made about the nearby Fleming Chicks operation. Not only were

What have we learned from the COVID pandemic as it relates to finding your next mortgage? Shift your focus from the mortgage rate to mortgage flexibility. When shopping for a mortgage rate, most consumers have one thing in mind: best rate. This, in my opinion, should not be the deciding factor. Uncertain times require flexible borrowing solutions: • The importance of having a mortgage that allows you to defer your mortgage payments on your own terms - not your lender’s terms; • The importance of having a mortgage payment that can change monthly, based on your cash-flow for that particular month; • The importance of having quick access to your home’s equity - the principal you’ve paid down - without having to re-apply to your mortgage lender (while you are experiencing financial hardship) to unlock your equity; I am hoping that, post-pandemic, more homeowners who are in precarious employment situations will focus less on the interest rate, and realize that “flexibility” should be your primary objective. Please contact me for your complimentary mortgage review. I welcome the opportunity to help you navigate mortgage solutions to achieve your personal finance goals.

Swans took flight July 1 Although Lions Clubs International discontinued its Lioness Club program, the women volunteers of West Niagara aren’t ready to sing a swan song. Instead, they have reformed as Swans‘Service: we assist, nurture, support’- a province-wide organization made up of the former Lioness Club chapters. July 1, the local Beamsville and District Lioness Club became the West Niagara Swans Club. Clara Terryberry, president of not just the West Niagara Swans Club but also of the entire Ontario Swans Club said the members of the new clubs will continue as they always have. “We’re going to do the same thing as Lionesses, including working with our Lions,” she

said. “We are just doing it all with a new name.” The Swans will also run fundraising events throughout the year. Proceeds from the public will go back into helping the community and running Swans service projects, which allow them to help throughout the community by way of physical or in-kind donations. To get involved with the West Niagara Swans Club, contact president Clara Terryberry at 905-957-3128, secretary Kim VanRooy at 905-931-4943 or by email at westniagaraswans@gmail.com. This first official meeting of the West Niagara Swans will take place at the Lions Hall on 4283 Mountain st. in Beamsville starting at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 15.

Music N’ Motors Sept. 4

3 UNIQUE OFFERINGS

By Tristan Marks NewsNow No need to go all the way to Route 66 to get your kicks. Fans of tunes and cars can get the best of both worlds at Grimsby’s newest community event: the Motors N’ Music Festival, which will pull into Southward Community Park this Labour Day weekend. The event will take place Sept. 4 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. The festival is the brainchild of Ron Baker, the driving force behind similar events such as the Burlington Downtown Car Show. Baker said Grimsby is the perfect spot for an event like this. “I’m really excited about this,” he said. “I’m excited about [Southward] park. I’m excited about Grimsby.” Baker said he was first turned on to the idea thanks to a discusison with a Grimsby resident, Rob Hattin, who organizes another “motorized” event. Baker noted he was looking for a large, open space to be able to host a show, since his Burlington show had been cancelled for two years in a row thanks to COVID. Baker was then steered towards Grimsby Coun. Reg

Freake who networked it locally in hopes a major event could be cultivated for the town. Southward Park turned out to be the perfect spot for Baker. “I was really impressed with the size of the facility there,” he said. Location size is important, since the event will showcase 150 cars, live music, and still need space for COVIDsafe distancing. Motors are just one part of the event. The festival is also going to feature a solid lineup of musicians. Baker said this won’t just be mood music, either. “I’ve always had live music at my events, but this is the first time that it’ll be positioned as strongly as the cars,” he said. Live bands will perform from 2 p.m. to close. There will vendor displays, food kiosks, kids’ activities and a beer and wine tent serving local products. Tickets cost $12 for adults, $8 for teens and kids enter for free. There will be shuttle buses available from downtown Grimsby and Peach King Arena, to let people visit the show without worrying about parking. More details will be released as they develop.

Cyclists pay respects to fallen By Tristan Marks NewsNow More than 50 cyclists took to the lake front trail in Grimsby last Wednesday to pay respects to a fellow rider who was struck and killed in Beamsville last week, and to show solidarity with his family.

By Tristan Marks NewsNow West Lincoln deferred a request for funding from McNally House Hospice to budget time after a lengthy discussion at last week’s council meeting. McNally House board of directors president Murray Bain appeared before council as a delegation to follow-up on a similar request the hospice made by letter. Council held a similar discussion when they received the correspondence in June. Bain made a request on behalf of McNally House for $70,000 from the Township to be paid in $14,000 installments over five years. This money would go to help fund the hospice’s ‘Life and Every Moment’ campaign to build a new 10-bed residential hospice and a new daytime hospice among other expansions. He emphasized that this investment would benefit the people of West Lincoln as Mc-

Nally House Hospice offers a free service to residents across West Niagara and beyond. While councillors by and large said they support hospice service, most noted that the Township did not need the extra tax burden. Coun. Mike Rehner kicked off the discussion by noting that the Niagara Region already committed to a similar request from McNally House. He also added that West Lincoln’s tax levy already has a lot to contend with in both paying off its recreational centre and contributing to the WLMH fund. Rehner also said that committing to an investment now would be putting the cart before the horse as the Township has not yet begun its 2022 budget process. “I would be willing to support bringing it to consideration at tax time,” he said. Likewise, Coun. William Reilly said that while he supports hospices such as McNally out of his own wallet, he could

not justify adding a $70,000 burden to West Lincoln’s tax base. “I don’t want you to think rejecting this [request] is insulting hospices...but I have a responsibility to the tax payers,” Reilly said to Bain. Coun. Cheryl Ganann, on the other hand, saw reason to support the request. Ganann agreed with Bain that it would benefit the residents of West Lincoln to have greater access to hospice services as population cohorts continue to age. “I think it would be important to get this to budget,” she said. Coun. Harold Jonker asked if there was a way to have staff investigate how the township could pay for the request. Treasurer Donna DeFilippis said staff would undertake this investigation as part of the budget process. Council then voted to move the request to the budget process beginning in the Fall.

It was a surprise to read Liz Bennett’s letter in last week’s NewsNow. It’s about time the indoor pool issue resurfaced. I am happy that Liz has established the Grimsby Indoor Pool Initiative. For twenty years, I was a member of the Grimsby Indoor Pool Committee which was launched by Joyce and Rennie Hollett. For several years, the committee met in the library at Central Public School on Thursday nights or in someone’s home. We were always out front at every public event – Happening in the Park, Festival at the Forty, the Festival of Art. The committee finally ended, and the money we had raised over the years (a considerable sum) was ear-marked specifically for an in-

A Small Drop of Ink By Dorothy Turcotte door pool. It was donated to the YMCA for a water slide. Some of us were on a committee to choose heritage images for a panel in the lobby of the new building. When the “Y” opened, our colour photos were on their brochure! We had the photos taken in March, at the splash pad at the Peach King centre. It was darned cold out there in our bathing suits, and the photos only showed us from neck up anyway. Until 2001 I wrote columns about the need for an indoor pool. I tried to not write them too often but the editors were lenient. Phil Dechman naively wrote an editorial on the issue

Picture Framing

saying “Who wants to get all wet in the winter anyway?” I never did join the “Y”. Too expensive for a senior. For 30 years, a friend and I drove to Brewster Pool. No matter how persuasive the new initiative is, I fear they will meet with the same arguments we did, “It’s too expensive. It won’t make any money. The public won’t want to pay for it.” Public indoor pools don’t make money, but they do bring money into the community. The people who take their children to swim in Hamilton, Stoney Creek or St. Catharines would stay right here to shop and lunch. Swim meets would bring folks from out-of-town, I hope Liz Bennett’s new initiative makes a big splash.

By Joanne McDonald NewsNow The dynamic Lincoln Leapers have earned their place at the world championship competitions this fall and they will be taking a power house of local talent to the virtual world stage. Originally slated for 2020 in Ottawa, it was to have been the newly merged International Jump Rope Union’s (IJRU) first global championship event. COVID cancelled the date but not the dream as the Leapers, through sheer tenacity and ingenuity, pushed through every pandemic challenge to prepare video performances that landed the national nominations to represent Team Canada at the upcoming First IJRU Virtual World Championship Series. Pivoting to virtual mode, teams across Canada worked through the fall and spring to send prequalifying videos to their national governing body Rope Skipping Canada (RSC). The Leapers went straight to the national qualifier and will represent Team Canada. Competing in both individual and team events in a variety of speed and freestyle events, the Lincoln Leapers lineup includes: Sydney McLennan World Championship:

person practices, “have kept the team moving forward and focused,” Nicholls said, crediting Becca Simpson, Carly Simpson, Kourtni Eckstein, Abbey Salari, Meaghan Brown, Sofia Stadler, Emma Giannini and Hannah Kot. “President Peter Genovese was very supportive and put together a safety protocol that was adopted by teams across Canada,” Nicholls said, adding those measures helped make it possible for the virtual version of the global event to become a reality. OLYMPICS IN SIGHT As jump rope moves towards inclusion as an Olympic sport, there is much emphasis on these championship events and developing the highest calibre of athletes. For years local audiences have enjoyed the Leapers’ jaw-dropping performances and watched them grow to elite status. “It’s evolving towards an Olympic sport so we in essence have to let people know we are here,” Nicholls said. The Lincoln Leapers jump rope team is a non-profit association that was established in 1982, the first competitive jump rope team in Canada. It has grown into one of the largest and most decorated teams, holding provincial, national, and world titles. For more information visit the website: www.lincolnleapers.com

Answers, not silence, needed from DSBN: writer Dear Editor, Grimsby has been fortunate in having the new hospital proceed. The people involved should be applauded for the work they have done. There have been regular updates about costs and appearance for the new structure. However, it is a different story with the other major project further east of town. Adding money for the theatre was a surprise since in earlier Board reports it noted DSBN could cover the full cost if the public fundraising was not sufficient. Getting information from the DSBN is difficult. The local trustee

has declined to answer my questions. I will not have success asking another trustee because they are not allowed to assist a resident from a different area. My trustee had another trustee suspended for doing just that. The Chair of the Board has stated, “... trustees are not allowed to share their individual thoughts to the media or in public on issues related to board matters without permission.” A June 8 email to Chair Sue Barnett concerning water at the site, costs and public viewing of the design brought the reply, “This is an operational matter and Trustees are actually responsible for

governance, not operations. I will forward your email to the proper department.” No response. A March 17 email from superintendent McGregor stated that the site, “...is now a clean safe property...” In July 22 NewsNow, Kim Sweeney said soil and water test results would be released. Where are those results? The whole process has been a boondoggle from the start and is an ongoing major expense for the taxpayer. It leaves a bad taste for those who felt it was wrong to close three high schools and build a mega school. Robert Thompson Vineland

Started at South Lincoln High School, Smithville Married at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Beamsville July 17, 1971 They recently celebrated with family in the garden of their beautiful country home near Delta, Ontario

February 7, 1929 - July 25, 2021 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of John Pachereva, dear husband, father, Grampy, Pa, brother and friend to many. John Sr passed away peacefully at McNally House Hospice, with his family by his side, on Sunday July 25, 2021. He had battled the ravages of Parkinson’s for 15 years. John was the beloved husband of Teresa (Latcham) and super dad of JD (Melanie), Bill, Janet, Nancy (John Nenadovich), Terri (Joe Della Manna). Adored grandfather of 8 – Preston (Jenna) Nenadovich, Karling (Jesse) Hicks, Auxanna Nenadovich (Zach Thalen) Alec (Olivia) Pachereva, Blair Pachereva, Michaela & Rachael Pachereva and Sophie Della Manna. Great grandfather of Sullivan Nenadovich and Nolan Hicks. John is survived by his sister Linda (Rodney) Peterson and predeceased by his parents Dymtro and Stella Pachereva and sister Ann (Delbert) Givens. John along with his brother-in-law Delbert and family owned and operated Jodel Supermarkets Ltd and began on King Street in Beamsville with their first store in 1952. They quickly outgrew this location and opened Hillview IGA in 1958. This was followed by stores in Fort Erie, Grimsby, Thorold and Smithville. He always greeted his customers with a smile and they along with staff were treated like family. He was truly the “I” in IGA. He loved flying, fishing, lawn bowling, gardening, working on the farm and attending his grandchildren’s games, dance recitals and equestrian events and enjoyed the occasional ice cream cone on the way home. He along with Teresa were recognized as one of the top 50 citizens of Lincoln for their contributions over the years to the community. John and his family thank Dr David Habing and Dr Barbara Connolly for their care and kindness. A heartfelt thanks to the PSW’s that assisted with home care; Karen, Narinder, Cindy & Steve along with nurse Melissa from Paramed. They also appreciated all the compassion and care of Dr Denise Marshall and the staff at McNally House Hospice. John’s personality, unique sense of humour and willingness to help others endeared him to many and he will be greatly missed. Family will receive friends at the Vineland Chapel of Tallman Funeral Homes, 3277 King Street, Vineland from 2-4 and 6-8 on Tuesday August 10. Preregistration is required for the visitation, please visit the online obituary and follow the link to sign up for the visitation. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Helen’s Roman Catholic Church, 4106 Mountain St. Beamsville on Wednesday August 11 at 11am. Rite of Committal to follow at Mount Osborne Cemetery. Cremation has taken place. For those who wish, donations may be made in John’s memory to McNally House Hospice or the Parkinson’s Foundation at the Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre.

Passports not simple solution Last week this space was filled with prose suggesting COVID passports are needed. That position is valid. So, too, are concerns about misuse of such a tool. It would be great if we had enough support to justify running four more pages of just Letters to the Editor each week. There is some great debate there and there was on this issue. Last week’s offering was really only focused on the peace of mind one would have if travelling abroad. You get to another country, they have their own guidelines and restrictions for entering, you hand them a recognized COVID passport, all is well. Much is assumed there, such as there is an internationally recognized document AND the Astra Zeneca recognition fiasco is somehow solved, so lots of moving parts. However, more government oversight/tracking is never a good thing and it always does leave room for abuses. Civil liberties have come up many times - mask wearing and demand for vaccinations are just two examples. It is key to remember, it is not just your rights in question, it is also the rights of others to feel safe that must be considered. The problem comes when that safety concern goes beyond rational thought and imposes exorbitant demands on others. A passport should not do that. M.W.

Letters help you speak up on beliefs Let’s talk a little about about letters to the editor, shall we? We get a lot of them every week - sometimes on topics covered in the paper, but on occasion someone takes a flyer and wants to vent on different topics. All are very much appreciated. I want to make that very clear. Before we deal with anything topic-related, it is most important to note why some run, many don’t. It would be great to print them all. It would be interesting reading and, as you see on a regular basis, when readers take a second to put pen to paper (yes, some still do that) or fingers to keyboard, there is great passion in what they offer. For someone to be moved enough to put themselves out there takes a lot more than you might think. Every letter I run, the author must provide their address and phone number to me for my records, not for print. That is in case I need to follow with them some reason. That request alone makes some balk and I never hear from them again. About 90 per cent of the time, this occurs when someone sends in a note commenting on how much they think my opinion stinks, or I am being too mean to council or I simply missed the mark on something. I never mind when someone disagrees. It has been stated often my opinion is just that: mine. I offer it. I don’t sell it. What I do attempt to do week in and week out is put solid, accurate information behind that opinion. Then you, good reader, can form your own opinions. I’ve had many letters dealing with the new high school. The vast majority note their resignation

MIKE WILLISCRAFT the District School Board of Niagara is so big and powerful, even the Ministry of Education cannot control it. This was evidenced by the recent announcement of funding the new theatre when DSBN dropped the communications ball in several serious ways. My view? The ball was not actually dropped. It would seem far more likely there were many conscious decisions to not pick up the ball, then the administration can claim it was never dropped. The issue for taxpayers, as always, there is only one pot and we continue to pay for mismanagement. It was and is a no-brainer to build the theatre now and there is NO concern with its inclusion. However, the land purchase, the gross mismanagement of the environmental cost projection and management for the site and poor planning on the theatre inclusion looks like three strikes and you’re out, DSBN. The only criteria I try to use when deciding what runs and what does not, other than space - which a very real limitation - is redundancy. If one offering covers all the bases, that letter goes first. Often times, letters received cover practically the same ground. Other than that,

I would run them all if I could. Aside from Grimsby council, which generates enough letters to fill the equivalent pages of War and Peace, development is the number one topic on a consistent level. Century Condos drew many over a couple of years. That is a major project which will do a lot of good for downtown....key ongoing issues there are parking and traffic impacts. These two items are universal - with parking being magnified since it has been mismanaged in Grimsby for more than a decade. Main Street East in Grimsby has and will be taking a beating - with the shuffling of the heritage study by our five amigos on council to the clear cutting of 314 Main St. E’s Branthaven Homes development to the imposing, proposed seven storey structure of the Losani project at the Cole’s Florist property. Such pressures are flowing their way over to the Town of Lincoln, make no mistake about that. Not all developers are as flexible as those working on Prudhomme’s Landing. Some of these guys will literally come into town hall and bull doze their way to what they want. Often times, the developers are not wrong. They play by the rules and demand municipalities live to them as well. The problem is the rules are set by a near-blind Queen’s Park which appears oblivious to the imposition of big city measures in smaller town atmospheres. Don’t expect that to change but don’t hesitate to speak up - whether by a letter or directly to an elected official - about how you, as a taxpayer, believe things should be.

War on COVID doesn’t justify attack on liberties: reader feel empowered to do so by the widespread unquestioning acceptance by most Canadians of repeated draconian lockdown measures. Recenty, an increasing number of Canadians are rejecting the official narrative that the COVID-19 virus with a median infection fatality rate of 0.2% and which is only dangerous to a tiny well-defined subset of the population, constitutes a public health “emergency” which overrides the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. My red pill moment occurred recently when our Prime Minister an-

nounced to the world the Covid-19 pandemic serves as a roadmap for the “Great Reset”. It is very troubling that so many citizens accept

such a dangerous collectivist construct that elevates security over human liberty. Fred Rauscher, Grimsby

Dear Editor, Until this pandemic, border closures had been considered inappropriate, mask wearing as a general strategy ineffective, quarantining the entire population misguided, and the human immune system was seen as the first line of defense against pathogens. Since the science hasn’t changed, what did? With widespread calls for the introduction of vaccine passports, it is apparent that the COVID-19 outbreak is serving as a convenient pretense for governments to seek expansions in their powers. Governments likely
