Sledgehammer swinging thieves rob Harmony Jewellers

Six sledgehammer-swinging thieves smashed the entrance door and virtually all display cases during a robbery at Harmony Jewellers in Grimsby on Saturday.

Niagara Regional Police were called to Harmony at 3:50 p.m.

The suspects smashed the front entrance door with small sledgehammers and gained entry to the store, said police.

The suspects then used small

sledgehammers to smash several display cases and removed jewellery.

Store owner Kevin Luttjehuizen said he knew right away what was going on, adding all his staff members are safe and uninjured.

“At the time of the robbery, there were nine staff members in the store, along with myself and two customers. I was upstairs in the workshop when I heard the first smash. I immediately knew ROBBERY, Page 3

hours

From Page 1 what was happening,” said Luttjehuizen.

“I came halfway down the spiral staircase, armed with a fire extinguisher, and watched as my team quickly gathered and moved to safety. I witnessed these individuals destroy the store, smashing nearly every showcase in just 40 seconds, leaving my staff and customers shaken.”

Given the circumstances, he said his staff dealt with it as well as could be expected.

“As a team, we regularly discuss and prepare for scenarios like this. Unfortunately, when six individuals armed with sledgehammers storm in, there’s little anyone can do to stop them,” said Luttjehuizen.

”The safest course of action is to avoid confrontation and let them carry out their actions.”

Luttjehuizen added that the items stolen are a distant second to the well-being of his staff and customers.

“My primary focus right now is

the well-being of our Harmony team and the customers who were in the store during the incident. It was an incredibly traumatic experience for everyone involved,” he said.

“Despite this (the robbery), we are resilient. We will rebuild, stronger and safer than ever.”

On Tuesday, police noted the getaway vehicle, a Ford F150 Lariat, was found at Nugent Drive and Nash Road North in Stoney Creek.

Detectives are asking anyone in the area who may have dashcam footage and/or home surveillance to call 905-688-4111, dial option 3, ext 1009341.

Additional charge in Smithville murder

An additional suspect has been charged in the death of Cathy Prosje in Smithville.

Carolyn Prosje, 55, sister of the deceased, has been charged with accessory after the fact.

In October, Joseph Villneff, 42, was charged with first degree murder. Villneff shared a home in Smithville with Cathy.

Cathy was located

deceased in the home on April 26, 2024.

The Niagara Regional Police Service would like to thank members of the public who contacted detectives to assist with this investigation.

Anyone with information that may further assist with this investigation is asked to contact detectives at 905-688-4111, option 3, extension 1009533.

WL land use concerns return to Feb. Planning

Councillors and residents have concerns after the owner of a rain barrel business asked council’s permission to continue storing his inventory at a rural property in West Lincoln.

Larry Pomerantz stores rain barrels and composters at 9127 Reg. Rd. 20, owned by Giovanni DiFlavio in Fulton.

The use of the land as an outdoor storage site is prohibited by current zoning but council granted Pomerantz the right to do so by passing a temporary use bylaw

905.945.4161 www.grimsbyford.com

in January 2024.

That bylaw added use will expire Feb. 15 but it is unclear if Council will grant the extension after five residents objected to it at a meeting Jan. 13.

Some were concerned the property had degraded since Pomerantz was allowed to use it as an outdoor storage facility.

Multiple residents claimed the property was filling up with material, leading some to speculate it was being used as a dump site.

Pomerantz said he ships most of his rain barrels in the spring and has been collect-

& SPIRITS

ing inventory for his busy season.

Other residents questioned if the plastic barrels might leach toxic chemicals into the soil.

Pomerantz said his plastic barrels were food-grade and would not leach chemicals.

Coun. Mike Rehner and some residents were concerned the site’s stacks of plastic barrels posed a fire hazard.

“Do you have the necessary equipment to put out that vast amount of plastic material in a reasonable period of time,” Rehner asked Fire Chief Dennis Fisher.

Fisher said yes, but it would take some time as he would need to get foam to douse the flames from other municipalities.

Rehner said the town might be past the point of being able to control a fire if one broke out at the site.

“We’re just lucky it’s winter,” Rehner said. Councillors were also concerned that Pomerantz had not met all the conditions attached to the temporary use bylaw.

A staff report said Pomerantz was required to grade the land for proper drainage.

An inspection showed, this work was incomplete. Staff also reported Pomerantz had failed to plant trees at the property, also a condition of use.

The matter will return for February’s planning meeting.

Notice of Study Completion

Municipal Class Environmental Assessment

Grimsby (Baker Road) Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity Expansion

Town of Grimsby

Niagara Region has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the expansion of the Grimsby (Baker Road) Wastewater Treatment Plant to service future growth. The Grimsby (Baker Road) Wastewater Treatment Plant (the Plant) is located at 160 Lake St., Grimsby, and receives influent wastewater from the Town of Grimsby, the Town of Lincoln, and the Township of West Lincoln.

The proposed study area is within the existing Niagara Region owned property surrounding the existing plant.

The Plant’s current capacity is insufficient to meet the demands anticipated by 2051. Expansion of the Plant was recommended by the 2021 Water and Wastewater Master Servicing Plan Update, presents an opportunity to support the anticipated growth within the service area.

Preferred servicing solution(s) will contribute to the wastewater system’s long-term sustainability and address immediate needs, intermediate goals, and long-term growth.

They will:

• Comply with applicable regulations to provide adequate wastewater treatment

• Comply with the recommendations from the 2021 Water and Wastewater Master Servicing Plan Update

• Consider interested parties and rightsholder comments and concerns

• Be financially viable

• Be technically feasible and operationally sustainable

• Be socially and environmentally responsible

For more information visit the project webpage at niagararegion.ca/projects/grimsby-wastewater-treatmentplant/default.aspx.

The project is being completed as a Schedule “C” project in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2023), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The study will address the requirements of Phases 1 to 4 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.

Consultation with the public, Indigenous Communities, regulatory agencies, and interested parties is a key element of a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment study. To facilitate this, two Public Information Centres are planned over the course of the study to gather input on potential alternative solutions and designs and provide an opportunity to discuss concerns and issues with the project team.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the study, or wish to be added to the email list for receiving notices, please contact one of the project team members:

Cold weather contributes to many different conditions that can affect homes.

Ice dams occur when warm air in the attic heats up the roof and melts accumulated snow. Water from this melt runs down the roof and refreezes when it reaches the colder roof edge. A mound of ice forms at the lower edge of the roofline as a result.

Ice dams may help create a picturesque winter vista, with icicles hanging and glinting in the sunlight, but they can cause significant damage.

A homeowners’s guide to icedams HOME IMPROVEMENT TIME! RENOVATE

The following are some conditions that make a home vulnerable to ice dam formation:

1. The presence of snow on the roof.

2. An average outdoor temperature that is 32 F or lower.

3. A roof surface temperature above 32 F at its higher points and below 32 F at the lower end.

4. Indoor heat making its way to the underside of the roof.

Homeowners should take a few steps to address ice dams. Improving insulation in the ceiling below

the attic and addressing any inefficiencies in the home is necessary.

A professional can do a blower door test, which works by depressurizing the home

air can circulate and prevent the attic from getting so warm that it will melt the snow on the roof.

The next step is to remove excess snow from the roof with a roof rake and keep ing gutters clear. If ice dams have already formed, hire a profes sional to remove them, as it can be dangerous to do it oneself.

Here’s spring garden tips to soften the bitter cold

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that pays a host of significant dividends.

Many people love gardening because it allows them to spend time outdoors, and that simple pleasure is indeed a notable benefit of working in a garden. But the National Initiative for Consumer Horticulture notes that gardening provides a host of additional benefits, including helping people get sufficient levels of exercise, reduce stress and improve mood.

With so much to gain from gardening, it’s no

wonder people look forward to getting their hands dirty in the garden each spring. As the weather warms up, consider these tips to help bring a garden back to life.

• Discard the dead weight. Winter can take its toll on a garden, even in regions where the weather between December and early spring is not especially harsh. Discard dead plants that have lingered into spring and prune any perennials that need it. Branches that fell during winter storms also should be

removed at this point if they have not previously been discarded.

• Test the soil. Soil testing kits can be purchased at local garden centers and home improvement retailers. Such tests are inexpensive and can reveal if the soil needs to be amended to help plants thrive in the months to come.

• Mulch garden beds. Mulching benefits a garden by helping soil retain moisture and preventing the growth of weeds. Various garden experts note that mulching in spring can prevent

weed seeds from germinating over the course of spring and summer. That means plants won’t have to fight with weeds for water when the temperature warms up. It also means gardeners won’t have to spend time pulling weeds this summer.

• Inspect your irrigation system. Homeowners with in-ground irrigation systems or aboveground systems that utilize a drip or soaker function can inspect the systems before plants begin to bloom. Damaged sprinkler heads or torn lines can deprive plants of water they will need to bloom and ultimately thrive once the weather warms up.

•Tune up your tools. Gardening tools have likely been sitting around gathering dust since fall. Serious gardeners know that tools can be expensive, so it pays to protect that investment by maintaining the tools. Sharpened pruners help make plants less vulnerable to infestation and infection. Wellmaintained tools like shovels and hoes also make more demanding gardening jobs a little bit easier, so don’t forget to tune up your tools before the weather warms up.

GREY ROCK MASONRY

Dear Editor,

Canada should be thankful for U.S. protection: writer Letter

My name is Sharon Harris and I appreciate the work you do to keep your newspaper coming faithfully each week.

I love to read it and see what is happening in Grimsby and the surrounding area.

I have lived here for nine years now and really love Grimsby.

I read your latest (Jan. 9) editorial and felt that I must respond in order to bring some thoughts from my perspective and to perhaps make other Canadians think. Here is what I would like to say and

for you to print next week if possible.

Many Canadians would no doubt agree, Mike, with some of the sentiments you expressed, regarding the state of affairs in the United States, in your editorial last week.

You also admitted that we have the same problems with our economic system, our politics, and social issues. I feel that both Canada and the United States have lost sight of the moral foundations upon which our countries were established.

I feel it is very important to make the following point. If the United States’ powerful military wasn’t protecting our borders (admittedly to help keep theirs secure as well), we would long ago have been taken over by China or Russia.

We should be most grateful for the protection our neighbour to the south provides. We are able to enjoy all the freedoms that we have as a direct result!

Thanks for accepting my letter Mike! Sharon Harris Grimsby

Transparency needed

There has been much feedback on opinion pieces published in the last couple of weeks, more than could ever be printed, so I have tried to cover both sides of the track - as it were.

A couple noted the column on this page should have incorporated the advice suggested Jan. 9 - namely drop name calling when citing varying opinions. Noted and agreed. As well, some went further both political right and left with 2020 election deniers chiming in (still) on the right and others on the left having heart attacks that 45/47 is back in power in the U.S.

With Trump’s ramblings about Canada, there is a unique opportunity for politicians to rally the country in the SAME direction. Take it. Run with it. Get it done. M.W.

Communication should be an open tap

Over the last 10 years or so I have attempted to provide some cautionary tales to residents of Lincoln and West Lincoln.

Lincoln, which is seeing the development wave roll into its municipality with the same force which rolled over Grimsby a decade and more ago, is going to have the same space issue Grimsby faces, but for different reasons.

Grimsby is nearly out of space, so developers will build up and with higher density. This will be permitted by the province to allow for achievement of housing goals.

Lincoln has more space, but will be hindered by Greenbelt limitations. Where hi-rise issues are common in Grimsby now, they will be new to Lincoln, but they are coming.

For West Lincoln, it was more than a decade ago when I first noted in this space the municipality needs to think about going up before much - if not all - of its urban greenspace is gone. By planning an area for hi-rise now they can save precious greenspace for use decades down the road - all the while reaching planned density and growth goals.

It seems outlandish at this point to think about a 15-storey tower anywhere in West Lincoln. Along with Wainfleet, it is easily the most rural of Niagara municipalities.

But one needs to remember, West Lincoln and

Fort Erie were the two areas designated under the Greenbelt Act in 2005 to be focal points for development. No other Niagara municipalities have the latitude or expectation for the scope of development those two communities do.

It is for that reason I got in a bit of an email exchange with West Lincoln officials a couple of weeks back regarding a Public Meeting for a major, 350unit development in the works for a 20-acre space on Reg. Rd. 20 just east of Industrial Park Drive.

My initial question to the township was...is there any ad info coming to us as we were close to our Tuesday deadline. It is not unusual for items like this to come up on press day with council meetings usually on Monday nights.

What took me aback was the response - “When it is for a change being proposed that affects the whole Township, you are correct. For something site specific, it only needs to be circulated a certain distance

from the property.”

To be clear, I was told promoting the Public Meeting in this case was not mandatory. As a result, notices would only be mailed out to neighbours “within 120 metres of the property”.

Now, having spoken to three different West Lincoln councillors for different topics over the last couple of weeks, none, including myself could recall a larger project in West Lincoln in the last 20 years, so to say it was not going to impact the whole municipality is shocking.

The last thing West Lincoln should want to do is fall into the abyss which Grimsby did when a handful of people were blowing $20 million on the Sobie Road biodigester. For years, the problems with that site were concealed becausesince it was operated under Niagara Power, considered a private company - officials didn’t have to make the losses and debt public despite the entity being owned by Town of Grimsby. The bottom line was, they didn’t have to.

The case is similar with this West Lincoln project. It is understood there is a grey area and there is no mandate to communicate this step, but with a project this massive in the community all taxpayers should want management to err on the side of more information, not less. Don’t hinder information flow. Share it widely with major happenings...and this one is major.

Dear Editor,

I hope by now you’ve caught the irony in your editorial (Jan. 9).

It is full of name calling and belittling of anyone who thinks differently than you.

And yet in it you say your desire is that politicians will stop name calling and diatribes. Maybe you would consider leading by example?

ways get a reply.

I am not pro or against Trump. I am ‘waiting to see’. Like your articles, I agree with some of his policies and not with others.

One I definitely do not agree with is about Canada becoming part of the United States and cannot imagine it actually happening.

I love Doug Ford’s hat. I am wondering if there is something we as Canadians can do to

collectively get the message over that we are proud of our country and citizenship and want it to stay that way.

Perhaps encouraging everyone to fly our flag; not just leave it to politicians to fight the cause.

I am sure you and your colleagues can come up with something that we can all join in.
