3rd Annual

Volunteer Pay Subscription Drive

“The newspaper is a greater treasure to the people than uncounted millions of gold.” - Henry Ward Beecher Dear Reader,

It is that time of year, again, for us to humbly seek your support.

Over the last several weeks, many readers have ventured in our door asking if it was time to renew their volunteer pay subscriptions. It is that time.

To be extremely clear, everyone who chooses to should be and continue to receive their weekly edition of NewsNow regardless of any contribution made to support our LOCAL, independent community Newspaper.

NewsNow has continued to not only survive but grow slowly in the face of corporate competition and limited digital media pressure and we look forward to serving our dedicated readers and advertisers in the decade to come and long beyond!

Based on the excellent feedback from last year’s volunteer pay subscription drive, we are launching Year 3!

Is NewsNow’s independent, accurate voice in the community of value to you?

Would you like to support NewsNow in its efforts? This is your opportunity.

If yes, we have set up an infrastructure to allow for a Volunteer Pay System

Simply, this means, rain (or snow) or shine, you will always – each and every week – receive your copy of NewsNow. That will NOT change!!!!

The one thing we have adjusted is the suggested amound - but any amount is greatly appreciated - for the suggested donation amount after the vast majority who supported us said, “Why so cheap?”

For that reason:

Subscriptions: 3 Months - $15 suggested • One Year - $40 suggested

We will back HST out of each payment to make things as simple as possible.

You can pay by cheque (bring into the office or mail), credit card (call Catherine or Rose at 289-235-9500) or e-transfer (send to: subscriptions@wn3.ca - make security answer - newsnow ) For more information, please do not hesitate to call, email or drop in. All inquiries are welcome!!

Thanks very much for your time and Happy New Year to all,

1 Mountain Street, L3M 3J6, Grimsby • 289-235-9500

Lincoln bylaw review set for Jan. 15 the Town, it divides land into various zone categories (i.e., residential, commercial, employment), and establishes what uses are permitted and where buildings can be located on a property.

Information displays will be set up throughout the entire session. Staff will be able to answer any questions both before and after the presentation and Q&A session.

The goal of these new bylaws is to bring zoning bylaw in Lincoln back “up to date with changes at the provincial level,” said Coun. Paul MacPherson, chair of Lincoln’s Planning

and Economic Development Committee.

“Really, it comes down to the fact that our current bylaw is out of step with not only provincial policy but also our official plan,” said MacPherson.

The councillor stressed that this meeting goes beyond just ongoing cannabis issues the town faces.

“Cannabis certainly dominated discussion to date, and that’s only one part of it,” said MacPherson.

“This covers the total, comprehensive zoning bylaw for Lincoln.”

“This is a big item.”

He explained that the town has been working on updating its 1990s-era zoning bylaws “for some time now,” and that this PIS indicates that it is “getting pretty close to finishing it.”

“Part of the session will also be “here’s where we’re at”,” said MacPherson.

Members of the project team will also be available for one-on-one discussions for those who are interested.

One Resolution You Can Keep Long-Term!

The New Year is typically the time of year that we commit to a new diet, exercise, or lifestyle change, with the objective being to improve our longterm health and wellbeing…

New Year’s resolutions for habits to stop & start, that come February, fall apart!

Could your finances benefit from a New Year’s resolution - a commitment to change how you treat your money? And, can you make it a resolution that you won’t abandon after a few months? With my help, this is one resolution you can keep long-term!

In addition to providing mortgage solutions for new home buyers, I also offer complimentary counselling to existing homeowners - providing longterm solutions on how to deal with one’s debt.

Sometimes, it’s a simple solution of just restructuring that debt. Restructuring one’s debt can improve cash-flow and fast-track mortgage pay-down.

Another benefit of restructuring debt is that it empowers a homeowner to save money; I truly believe that homeowners who have emergency savings are less prone to illness caused by stress.

When a homeowner follows my plan, there is ultimately less reliance on credit cards, as there is no longer any cash-flow shortfall. Of course, a shift in behaviour needs to occur as well truly questioning whether a purchase is a true need, or simply a “want”.

I will do my best to provide you with a mortgage refinance solution, and improve your financial literacy so that you don’t continue the cycle of credit card reliance. Who knows - This could be an easier resolution to keep than any food & alcohol resolution!

Call me today for your complimentary assessment. Think outside the bank for a change.

Talk to Us…. You’ll be impressed.

Peach Kings play at West Lincoln Arena Friday The Grimsby Jr. C Peach Kings will face off against the Niagara Falls River Hawks this Friday at the West Lincoln Arena in Smithville at 7:30 p.m.

Peach Kings coowner Simon Duong said the team hopes to win fans in West Lincoln.

“Last year we decided to do a couple of games outside of Grimsby to reach out to West Niagara,” said Duong.

“We played a preseason game at the West Lincoln Arena this year.”

“We’re hoping we’ll get a nice crowd from around Smithville.”

The Peach Kings will also be honouring former owner Lyle Killins at Friday’s game.

Killins, a Smithville resident himself, owned the team in the 1990s and left a lasting impression on the team, said Duong.

“He helped really turn things around and started things we’re still continuing today,” he explained.

Killins will drop the puck at game start along with his four grandchildren.

During the first intermission, the West Lincoln Wrath IP team will take to the ice for a quick practice.

Kids wearing apparel from the Peach Kings, West Lincoln Wrath, West Niagara Flying Aces or Lincoln Blades can attend this game for free (with a limit of two kids per adult).

12th annual Grimsby Polar Bear Dip rings in new decade Grimsby residents bought the annual tradition of willingingly entering Lake Ontario’s chilly January waters into 2020 with the 12th annual Polar Bear Dip. As always, participants raised money through the event in support of McNally House. In total, this year’s dip raised $3,900 for the hospice.

“It was a blast,” said organizer Dave Munford. “Thanks again to my DOH, director of helping, and sonin-law, Sean McPhail.”

As a follow-up to his ‘retirement’, Munford indicated that he has found a successor in running the event.

“I’m happy to say Dr. Allison Zaruk has volunteered to take over the dip,” he said.

Brad and Lindsay Law pick up some event t-shirts after their dip, snug in their warm animal pajamas.

Kevin Brain (left) and Ben Lepp ‘enjoy’ their walk as they exit the brisk waters of Lake Ontario.

Men who take care of their wives and mothers with Alzheimer’s Disease understand the challenges the condition inflicts on their loved ones and themselves.

Fortunately, they don’t have to fight alone. These husbands and sons in West Niagara have a new, free resource in the form of the Niagara Region Alzheimer Society’s Grimsby Men’s Support & Social Group.

The group meets the second Tuesday of each month on the second floor of the Peach King Centre in Grimsby from 10-11:30 a.m. It provides a confidential space for men to share their struggles and support each other face-to-face.

“We’re just a group of men who can talk and socialize about taking care of our loved ones with Alzheimer’s,” said group organizer Len Thornton. “We’ve got an amazing group.”

Thornton first became involved with the Alzheimer Society after his wife was diagnosed with the illness. While attending a program offered by the Society’s St. Catharines, he noticed that the organization did

Levee rings in half century for Lincoln A large gathering of Lincoln residents congregated at the Fleming Centre in Beamsville for the town’s New Year’s Levee on Saturday, Jan. 4.

This year’s event marked not only the beginning of a new decade, but also 50 years since Lincoln corporated.

The levee featured many 50th anniversary activities, free skating on the Fleming Centre ice rink and local wine and beer.

“Let us prevail as a healthy community 50 more years and beyond,” said Mayor Sandra Easton in her first speech of the New Year.

Artist Shelley Szczucki drew a poster displaying Lincoln’s landmarks during the event.

Photos by Tristan Marks Bader brothers (L-R) Noah, Rory and Graham pose with dad, Bryan, while gearing up.

Among the audience watching a video commemorating 50 years of Lincoln were (L-R) Coun. Lynn Timmers, Colleen Ridler, Lynn Johnston, Barb Stones and Judith Wintermute.

Taryn Rea and her daughter, Aria, work on some New Year’s and Lincolnthemed crafts in the craft room set up for the event.

Mayor Sandra Easton delivers her levee speech, touching on Lincoln’s 50th anniversary.

Brian and Shirley Stouck (right) sample some wine while getting tasting notes straight from wine maker Sue-Ann Staff herself.

Please call to place your Classified Ad Hastings-Dove, Joan (née Houslander)

of Grimsby passed away peacefully at the Hamilton General Hospital on January 1, 2020, just shy of her 78th birthday. Beloved wife of John Dove. Cherished by John’s daughters Elizabeth Dove (Alex Djuric) and Catherine Dove (Kevin Ireland) and their children; Leila, Asher and Arielle. Joan will be remembered for her love of and service to community.

An educator by vocation, Joan taught elementary school, adult education and was at Niagara College for 28 years where she was the Coordinator of the Sociology Department, Faculty President and member of the Board of Directors. As a social entrepreneur, with the partnership of her husband John, Joan founded Angelfest in Grimsby (now the Fantasy of Trees) as a way to bring the community together and to benefit local non-profits. That event was one of several community projects by Joan and John’s events incubator, Niagara Events, which also produced the Niagara Antiques Festival and the Niagara International Music Festival that exposed appreciative local audiences to numerous global choirs.

She was on the Board of several local charities, was membership chair with the Niagara West-Glanbrook NDP riding, was a passionate advocate for environmental protection and was especially proud of her contributions while serving as a negotiator for contracts for all of the provincial college professors. A life long patron of the arts, Joan performed in Garden City Productions herself and delighted in experiencing musicals, galleries and the symphony.

Genuinely curious about the experiences of others and an adventurer at heart, Joan traveled the world.

She will be sincerely missed by all who loved her as she leaves us for this next voyage. The family wishes to thank the staff of the Hamilton General ICU East for their care and kindness during Joan’s sudden and brief illness. Visitation will be held at STONEHOUSE-WHITCOMB FUNERAL HOME, 11 Mountain Street, GRIMSBY (905-945-2755) on Saturday, January 11, 2020, from 6-9 p.m. and a Memorial Service and reception will take place at the same location on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 1:00 p.m.

Interment will be at a later date. If desired, memorial contributions to a charity of your choice or The Niagara Community Foundation, which she helped to establish, would be sincerely appreciated by the family. www.smithsfh.com

Levee chat

Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff, left, chats with John Kikkert, president of the Christian Farmers’ Federation of Ontario at his New Year’s Levy hosted on Saturday. Oosterhoff hosted two such events, Fonthill in the afternoon and Beamsville in the evening.

Key Lincoln meeting Wednesday It may not be the sexiest meeting, but next Wednesday’s meeting at Town of Lincoln regarding its zoning bylaw review is very important.

The result of the bylaw review will form the foundation for virtually all aspects of planning within in the Town.

Yes, any aspect the Town hopes to incorporate in fighting the cannabis grow issue will have its origins here. Commerical and residential zoning will also be part of the mix.

The Public Information Session runs from 6-8 p.m. The formal meeting kicks off with a presentation from Town staff with Q&A to follow.

This is your chance, residents of Lincoln, to have any level of input into the guidelines by which future decisions will be made, so take the opportunity, invest some time, and chip in your two cents if you care to do so. Many don’t, and that’s fine, but don’t complain if you don’t like the result. M.W.

Team Troll lines up for misguided shots I’ve said it before and I am sure I’ll say it again at some point, but social media has absolutely no redeeming value, none, save for helping with an Amber Alert or some emergency, life-saving measure.

The rest, the world would be a far better place without it.

Aside from the mindnumbing tedium which is constantly bombarding those who can whittle away an entire day leafing through crap (pardon my French), the keyboard jockeys who simply know nothing about what they are talking about continue to amaze me.

If you spend even a minute or two swiping through a dozen screens of info in a day you will know of what I speak.

It’s unavoidable.

Economics, relationship advice and political spin rockets out of control. The internet should carry a percharacter charge and world hunger and money to cope with climate change could be funded in a week.

A story I did last week on Hamilton Health Sciences where West Lincoln Memorial Hospital is concerned was retweeted by Premier Doug Ford.

In marched the trolls.

Some of the rhetoric was downright hilarious. Some was valid opinion. There are those who are worried about the stability of WLMH rebuild funding in the wake of the LRT program cancellation in Hamilton. How could one not be concerned.

The question has been asked and answered many times of MPP Sam Oosterhoff and he has asked the same question internally.

He is 100 per cent of the belief that funding is rock

MIKE WILLISCRAFT solid as that is what he has been told. That is all one can really go by, so until I see otherwise, I believe it to be true.

The whole process has been held together with elastics and Band-Aids for 20-plus years so why, all of a sudden, should we give up on hope now?

Back to our friends who live under the bridges of social media.....there was a whole line of tweets which proclaimed the Tories to be stealing the thunder of good ol’ Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals.

Team Troll explained to all social media ears about how this process was started by Wynne and how dare Team Ford take credit for such an important plank in the Liberal platform.

So let’s stop there for a moment, shall we.

The boneheaded Liberals were NEVER going to build WLMH no matter how much it was merited as long as Wynne nemesis Tim Hudak was the MPP for the area.

Never.

My fave, courtesy of Ron @kellr2010: Started and funded by Kathleen Wynne. The Conservatives have not started or even proposed a single new hospital for Ontario.

Ontario is surviving because of Wynne’s investment.”

Now, that’s a beauty!

Our local health care sector got about as much investment in the last 10 years as our local high schools which were run into the ground by District School Board of Niagara to justify the new super school...which would be next to nothing for those keeping score at home.

From that initial comment, another series of tweets spun off it, 20 or 25 slap a “like” on there and all of a sudden, it’s on the interweb, it must be true.

Still a week later, “How many more announcements and press conferences can you squeeze out of this minor funding news?” - thanks @lindahaslett.

Get a clue, would ya!

Did you read the story.

WLMH move from Stage 1 to Stage 2 with $1.5 million announced to help fund that part of the process.

Both of those are brand new, never even dreamt of

by Wynne on her best day.

You wonder why local interests are pushing every single day and staying on top of the near-dormant HHS to inch the process further?

Everyone knows, if the shovel is not in the ground and contracts signed before the next provincial election, the Liberals would kill the WLMH rebuild again in a heart beat.

There is still lots of work to be done and it is appearing as though the needed timeline can be met. The Ministry of Health finally seems to have its guard up where HHS is concerned and is monitoring all on an ongoing basis. Good on them.

To be clear, like it or not, if/when the WLMH rebuild happens it will be ALL Team Ford who should be thanked.
