Kickstands up for Tracey’s Ride for a Cure By Joanne McDonald For NewsNow Kickstands will be up Saturday and the heart of the community that loves Tracey Palumbo will be wide open to help her fight cancer. Tracey is a bright light and powerhouse personality - as a loving mom, as an ER nurse who has saved so many lives, as a sis-
ter and a friend, she is always there to help others. It’s been a tough year since the diagnosis last fall of a rare form of sarcoma cancer and the fight is on from every corner. It’s Tracey’s turn to feel the support and strength that she gives to so many. Tracey’s sister Tina
Van Pykeren and family friend Mike Cherwaty are pulling out all the stops Aug. 10 for a full day starting in the morning with Tracey’s Ride for a Cure, a round trip entourage of motorcycles touring to Nanticoke and returning to Beamsville for an evening of barbecue and live bands performing. This is
going to be one huge party and everyone is invited to be there. “We’re sending a loud message to the community and the world, we are going to fight this,” Cherwaty said. Tracey, 46, a Beamsville resident and ER nurse at the St. Catharines General Hospital and her sister Tina,
an ICU nurse at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital began their careers working together when they opened St. Elizabeth Health Care in the Niagara area in 1998. “She is the world to me,” said Tina, praising her sister’s compassion, skill and strength. “She is an amazing mother, her kids have
always come first. Family is everything to her. She is kind and caring, selfless, and puts everyone else’s needs first….always has.” Tracey and her husband Rob, together since she was 14 when they first met as high school sweethearts, have two boys, ages 11 and 17. See TRACEY, Page 3

From Page 1 They’ve been longtime friends with the Cherwaty family since they started in martial arts training, Rob and the boys in jiu jitsu and Tracey in kickboxing. “Tracey is very attentive, focused. She is one of the best technical kick boxers that I have trained in years,” said Cherwaty, event sponsor and owner of
Nexus Martial Arts Studio in Beamsville. But for months now, Tracey has been in and out of hospital and undergone a number of treatments for this rare form of cancer, High-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma. “Tracey and Rob didn’t want any of this attention. They’re very quiet and don’t ask for help. Yet they’re the first to help when
you need them,” said Tina. They were adamant that the event help support sarcoma research. A portion of the proceeds go to research at Princess Margaret Hospital. “Tracey has helped so many and now we’re coming together to support her and her family. This has been so tough on the family,” Cherwaty said. “We’re expecting a
large group to tour. Just show up at 10 a.m. to register.” Meet at Nexus Martial Arts Studio, 5205 King St., Beamsville. “Kickstands go up at 11 a.m. and we’ll ride to Hoover’s Marina in Nanticoke for a barbecue, refreshments and music hosted by Andrea Caron. We will head back to Beamsville and a 5 p.m. start for a pig roast, live bands, tons of prizes
including a 65” flat screen TV, an HD 4K TV, a Doug Gilmour signed jersey and a draw for a trip for four to anywhere in the United States.” Cherwaty said the business community has been generous and was immediately on board, including co-sponsor Cameron Willms, Carbon Class and Chris and Rebecca Follows, Propak. Canadian Tire Grims-
by owner Pat Jaskula donated tents and set up for the event along with a big screen TV. “Anything you need,” she told Cherwaty when asked for help. All riders and walk ins welcome. Cost is $40 for the day or $20 for 5 p.m. event at 4738 Lincoln Ave., Beamsville. Call Mike Cherwaty, 905-329-6213; Tina Van Pykeren, 289-4567478; Cameron Willms, 289-214-3271.

What is the Federal Government’s First-time Home Buyer Incentive that’s been making headlines lately?

Beamville Classes:
Sept 21-29 Weekends

Aug 20 - 23 Days
Here is what you need to know about the FTHBI; The FTHBI is designed to help qualified first-time home buyers with affordability, as the incentive acts a downpayment boost. A larger downpayment means a lower monthly mortgage payment. This FTHBI is a “shared equity” concept, whereby the Federal Government will have an ownership stake in the property, in the form of a second-position mortgage registered against the property, with a 25-year term. The incentive is not interest-bearing, and it does not require any ongoing repayment. However, one must repay the incentive after 25 years of occupying the home, or when the property is sold (whichever comes first). The amount owing at time of repayment is based on the home’s fair market value. The incentive can be repaid at any time without penalty. To be eligible for this program, a first-time home buyer must already have the minimum 5% downpayment. With a 5% downpayment already saved or gifted from family, one then can apply for this 5% or 10% shared equity mortgage. The minimum 5% downpayment cannot come from borrowed funds, such as an unsecured line of credit, or a personal loan. Qualified first-time home buyers are those with annual household incomes of up to $120,000. If you and your spouse or co-purchaser earn more than $120,000, then you are not eligible. The total borrowing amount is limited to 4 times the household income. The mortgage must be eligible for mortgage default insurance, and it must be for greater than 80% of the property value. The FTHBI will be launched on September 2nd, 2019. For more information on this program, please contact me, or check out: https://www.placetocallhome.ca/fthbi/firsttime-homebuyer-incentive.cfm

Book signing at Grimsby Sobeys Aug. 12 Michael Jacques cannot read or write, but he didn’t let that stop him from becoming a published author. Jacques, a Special Olympian and employee at Sobeys in Fonthill is now an author of “Can’t Read, Can’t Write, Here’s my Book”. He will be at Grimsby Sobeys on Monday, Aug. 12 from 4-6 p.m. to sign autographs and take pictures with those who come out. Sobeys will donate $2 from every book purchased to Special Olympics Canada. Jacques, a Fonthill resident, has autism. His book collects compelling life stories and insights which reveal his tenacity in the face of set-backs. It addresses topics such as learning, inclusion, advocating, independence, and the power of perseverance. The book itself exists because of Jacques’ determination and clever-thinking. Despite his disability, Jacques wrote the book himself, using the speech-to-text function on his iPad. He toured across Ontario and Nova Scotia with his family last month to promote his book.

Lincoln bestows recognition for long-time fire service Three of Lincoln Fire Rescue’s firefighters were recognized for 30 years of dedicated service to the community at a July council meeting. Chief Greg Hudson, Capt. Brian Cook, and District Chief Brian Culp were presented with the Fire Services Exemplary Service Bar on behalf of the Governor General. A medal is given to fire service members after 20 years of exemplary service, while a silver bar is awarded for each additional 10 years served. Lincoln Council made the presentation at its July 23 meeting. “We are pleased to recognize and
commend these devoted members of our fire service for their many years of outstanding efficiency, conduct and contributions to the public safety of Lincoln and its residents,” said CAO Michael Kirkopolous. The bar is administered by the Chancellery of Canadian Orders and Decorations in Ottawa. The federal, provincial, and territorial jurisdictions independently recommend eligible and deserving members of the fire service to the Chancellery. Awards are made on behalf of the Sovereign by Instruments signed by the Governor General of Canada.

Culture camp gives youth a look at art perspective The Town of Grimsby’s Recreation Services has been keeping this Summer a little more cultured with their seasonal Culture Camps. The camp is open for children ages 6-13. Each week the camp partners with a different cultural centre in
town for a new theme. In earlier weeks the camp has partnered with organizations like the Grimsby Public Art Gallery (GPAG) and Grimsby Museum. They will be teaming up with GPAG again next week, from Aug. 19-23 for ‘Rainforest
Trekking’. Kids will create art based on creatures, botany and the science found under a rainforest canopy. One week of camp costs $160 per child. Parents can register their children at www. grimsby.ca/en/parksrecreation-culture/

Sign of hope?
Just in time for an appearance this week by Premier Doug Ford for a local fundraiser, Hamilton Health Sciences has erected a new sign on West Lincoln Memorial Hospital’s front lawn touting, “Future Home West Lincoln Memorial Hospital”.
Thanks!
On behalf of the community, NewsNow would like offer a sincere thanks to these fine folks. Garry and Lynda Brown were guests at a send-off lunch last Wednesday at Teddy’s Food, Fun & Spirits. The couple took over Giant Tiger Grimsby in January 2000 and retired Wednesday. Virtually every group in town benefitted from their generosity. The downtown business community also benefitted from Garry’s many years on the DIA. Macaulay - Photo
Businesses answer the call over and over From time to time, I do drone on about shopping locally. I have never been one to demand folks shop local. That would be simply wrong. Consumers are and should be able to do whatever they choose to do and as often as they like. No argument here on that. If a consumer cannot get what they want in town, it is just not available, of course they may have to travel afar to get what they need. Also on the top of that consumers’ choice pile with product or service availability is service. There is no substitute for great service and no excuse for bad service. No business deserves blind loyalty, but I am here to tell you the vast majority of businesses in Niagara West simply make this place hum. I see examples of this every week, almost every day. Whether it’s golf tournaments, trivia nights, fundraising dinners...all those businesses getting hit up for prizes, gift certificates, donations of any kind all come to me, too, because they want people to know about their events. As other businesses do, I do whatever possible. This topic is coming up again this week due to two occurrences taking place over the last week. First, we got the band back together for a send-off lunch for Garry and Lynda Brown, now former owners of Giant Tiger Grimsby. Garry tells the story of his great luck in his first day in Grimsby 19 years ago when who should he meet walking down Main Street but yours truly. We went on to work on many projects together, he was a great supporter of mine and we served on the Grimsby DIA together for nearly 10 years. Whether it’s the Grimsby
MIKE WILLISCRAFT Benevolent Fund, Grimsby Kinsmen, FORT or a host of other area organizations Garry was always a guy who could not say no. He, too, was a guy who did everything he could. There are dozens of other business operators who fall into that vein. And, somehow, people like that are also people who never say boo about it. Not an ounce of grandstanding, looking for a donation photo or any of that. In 19 years of dealing with the Browns I can think two times I ran a donation photo. Humble and dedicated to the community they serve is a phrase which comes to mind with those folks. They have ridden off into the sunset (aka Peterborough) where their kids have taken on the entrepreneur mantel in the family, both opening eateries. They have been excellent business operators and were key partners in Grimsby’s business community. Hence the thanks noted to the left of these words. Later in the week, we got some information on a fundraiser planned for Saturday to help Tracey Palumbo of Beamsville, an ER nurse at St. Catharines General who has been diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma cancer. A unique and great sound-
ing event is planned for this Saturday at 4738 Lincoln Ave. - a pig roast with live bands and all kinds of fun. Organizer Mike Cherwaty noted when reporter Joanne McDonald talked to him about how supportive the community had been when he sought support. Now, maybe a Costco or a Wal-Mart anteed up for the festivities but that is not typically the case. When events go down in the area it is the wineries, the retailers and service providers who come through time and time again. These are same people who sponsor sports teams and clubs through every season on the calendar keeping costs down for those taking part. When something major goes down, which sadly happens more often than not, the business community in Niagara West steps up each and every time to be counted. These good folks can only do that when they get support from customers who allow them to exist by frequenting their shops, their restaurants or offices. So when you are buying your draw tickets and supporting a great cause in helping out Tracey this Saturday, pay attention to those who donated the prizes and did their part to help the whole thing work. Best of luck to organizers and I hope you hit all your goals. ****** Along the same line, don’t forget Saturday, Aug. 24, for Grimsby’s Second Annual Summer Street Party.

Jordan Station post office last Friday. They gathered there to celebrate Chayka’s retirement, which closed the book on 42 year-long career with Canada Post. “I’ve worked with many wonderful people these past years,”
said Chayka. The party was organized by Chayka’s friend and Jordan postmaster Kelly Staples. The two worked together for many years, and shared fond memories. “My best memory is working with Kelly. She’s a wonderful person,”
A deal oh so sweet.
