Grimsby files $18 million civil suit By Mike Williscraft NewsNow The Town of Grimsby et al have filed an $18 million civil suit against three former members of its energy companies’ boards of directors. In the suit filed last week in Ontario Superior Court by the Town of Grimsby, Niagara Power Inc. (NPI), Grimsby Energy Inc. (GEI), Grimsby Hydro Inc. (GHI), and 1938427 Ontario Inc. (HoldCo. 2), three claims are made cit-

ing former mayor Bob Bentley, James Detenbeck and Joe Panetta as defendants. The claims, in part, allege Bentley, Detenbeck and Panetta were negligent, breached their duty of care and breached their fiduciary duty through their dealings regarding a “failed waste-to-energy project”. Grimsby, HoldCo. 2 and GEI claim $18 million in damages from the trio. Parts of that

claim include: • GHI seeks $7 million in damages from Detenbeck, and; • NPI seeks $3 million in damages from the trio. The defendants have 20 days in which to file a defence, states the court document, but have not yet done so. None responded to repeated attempts to contact them for comment. The heart of the issue is the long-troubled biodigester project, which started out in

2008 with an estimated cost of $3.5 million. Today the project has incurred about $18.5 million in cost, while continuing to operate at a rate which would complete its fiscal year with a deficit exceeding $4 million in operating losses. While many of the setbacks involved with the biodigester have been outlined as they unfolded in NewsNow, the civil suit outlines more of internal details it is al-

leged have caused the breaches in question. The allegations in the suit have not be proven in a court of law. The “Summary” of the case, as outlined in the court document states: “The defendant Robert Bentley served as mayor of the Town of Grimsby from 2003 to December 3, 2018, when his term officially ended following his decision to not run in the election of October 22, 2018.” “After the results of

the October 22, 2018 election, information about the project that had been suppressed by the defendants began to come to light, including, most importantly, the information that the project was not producing any profits, let alone enough to justify the investment in the project, the capital cost of which had become more than 300% greater than originally budgeted.” See CLAIM, Page 5

Cool fundraiser on hot day!

This posse of youngsters gathered at the Dean residence on Hazelwood Avenue in Grimsby to help their friends - Randi and Penelope Vollick - with a fundraiser for Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. Randi and Penelope both have cystic fibrosis. The event’s first year raised $170. This year, the kid’s lemonade stand hit the $1,000 mark - with a boost. “My husband and I were more than happy to throw in $11 to make it an even $1,000 for Sick Kids,” said host Sarah Dean. Here, Molly Vickers hands a cool beverage to Grimsby Fire’s Paul Kucharuk, who stopped by with fellow firefighter Jason Motttershead and a fire truck to add excitement to the proceedings.

By Mike Williscraft NewsNow On the heels of an 11th hour delay to a lengthy operating room closure and after news Niagara Health System was balking at what was believed to be an agreed-upon service agreement, West Lincoln Memorial Hospital may finally be moving out of intensive care. Nine months of hand-wringing and frustration may all be for naught if a design proposal comes to fruition. The design would accommodate infrastructure needs Hamilton Health Sciences officials say are needed to improve sterile storage. According to an internal communique, a rejigging of various items in the OR footprint will make use of the space between the ORs, relocate a sink and blanket warmer and relocate sterile supplies. The major lengthy and costly overhaul of the department may be avoided, it states. The initial plan would also have left WLMH with only one OR until a new build is done. This “new” plan would allow for two ORs to remain operational. See DESIGN, Page 3

By Tristan Marks NewsNow A new communitybuilding project bore fruit on July 18. Members of the Grimsby Beach community planted the finishing touches in their new community garden. Residents came out to celebrate with a small get-together, where they were joined by officials from the Town. Occupying what was once an empty, overgrown lot, the community garden now offers a shared bounty for the neighbourhood. It is meant to be tended by anyone who wishes to lend their time. In return, the fruits of the garden are freely available to those who put in the work. Of all the garden has to offer,

residents are hoping it grows one thing in particular: a stronger community. “We’re lacking community here in Canada,” said Renee Delaney, a member of the Grimsby Beach garden’s steering committee. “The garden is the platform for us to rebuild it from.” Delaney is a vocal advocate for community gardens. Through her social initiative, Small Scale Farms, she helped establish community gardens across Niagara including in Welland, Queenston and Allanburg. This latest project is particularly special for her as she lives in Grimsby Beach. The idea for putting in a shared garden originated with residents Catherine Corey,

Haley Pankhurst and Sharon Porter. “Catherine was the one who came up with the idea for the garden,” said Porter. They quickly enlisted Delaney and brought their idea before Grimsby parks and rec, then to Town Council. It was well-received by all. “There’s a lot of different reasons to support a garden,” said Sarah Sweeney, Grimsby’s Director of Recreation, Facilities and Culture. She cited the benefits of using green spaces for this purpose and the importance of helping communities become more sustainable. For Delaney, the main benefit has alway been the same: community gardens bring the community together. “Cultivating community- that’s what gardens do,” she said. Residents worked together to level the empty lot and plant the garden, which took close to two weeks. With the Grimsby Beach garden already taking root, Sweeney said her department is looking to plant seeds for more community gardens across the town. “This is the pilot project for future gardens,” she said.

From Page 1 The proposal has been approved locally and costed but has not been approved by the Ministry of Health. Going back to October 2018, HHS president Rob MacIsaac announced WLMH would require a 27-month closure in OR with work needed costing about $8.7 million. The study HHS had done did say the work could take 27 months, but noted it could be done by a series of weekend closures only. This new proposal is said to be much more economical and, crucial to an expedited time frame, the work is considered much more incremental to the point where “change work” orders to existing awarded contracts are expected to be sufficient. While it would mean higher costs on the current contracts it would save a great deal of time and money by eliminating the need for new tenders. “This is great news if it gets done, but we need to get back to two ORs asap,” said WLMH Action Committee co-chair Tony Joosse. “It is too bad it has taken this long. We’ve been hearing for months about HHS not being agreeable to simpler solutions. From what I have seen of this agreed upon plan it is pretty much identical to a proposal laid out

during a discussion with a WLMH staff member last November. I am not sure what has changed, but it could be very positive.” Joosse noted much of the recent focus for the general public has switched to the rebuild. Concern on that front has continued to escalate as well. “We are approaching the ninemonth anniversary of the great announcement Premier Ford made about being committed to a WLMH rebuild – with $500,000 to help the design process – and we still have yet to see HHS’s actual plans. Nothing has been submitted to the Ministry of Health, either,” said Joosse. “That is why I say this new design brought up last week will be great...if it happens. We deserve better.” In the meantime, HHS’s executive vice-president, academic and chief medical executive Michael Stacey says “planning is still underway to support the redirection (of services)” to NHS’s St. Catharines General Hospital. The closure of one OR to become sterile storage was cancelled the day before it was to take effect. It has been bumped back about 30 days now taking place Aug. 2. It is hoped the MoH could approve the newly agreed upon design by late September.

CLAIM

From Page 1 “In January of 2019, the agricultural waste-to-energy project, which had become known as the Bio-Digester project, was referred to by local media as a “bio-disaster”.” “The Bio-Digester project became a financial disaster as a result of the defendants’ complete failure to ensure effective corporate governance and to ensure that corporate decisions were made in the best interests of the plaintiff companies. The plaintiff companies’ best interests were made subservient to the interests of the defendants James Detenbeck and Joseph Panetta who, with the support of the defendant Robert Bentley, appointed themselves as contractors and project managers and received hundreds of thousands of dollars for service provided in those capacities while they continued to serve as directors of the plaintiff companies, ostensibly responsible for the work done by themselves as contractors and project managers. In short, the defendants preferred their own financial interests to the best interests of the plaintiff companies, of which they were at all material times directors and officers, and to which they owed fiduciary duties.” Detenbeck and Bentley became directors of GEI in 2007 and were joined on that board by Panetta in 2009. Detenbeck was a director of GHI from 2007 until the end of 2018. The claim alleges that, “At some point in 2017 James Detenbeck quit and ceased attending board meetings for any of the boards of the plaintiff companies. However, he did not properly resign as a director and therefore continued to be liable as a director until his successor was appointed at the end of 2018.” What allegedly binds the group, in terms of liability is their control over all the boards of directors of the companies in the hydro group, as outlined in the statement of claim. “All three defendants be-

not invited by the defendants to independently assess the payments made to the defendants and the value for money received by the plaintiff companies in exchange for the services provided by the defendants James Detenbeck and Joseph Panetta. Messrs. Panetta and Detenbeck were allowed, with the approval of the defendant Robert Bentley, to oversee and make payments to themselves as the project proceeded. Likewise, they were allowed to vote on and approve the transfer of money from NPI and GHI to GEI, despite their roles as the project leads on the project which would spend the money transferred.” It has been mentioned in several NewsNow stories since last Fall’s municipal election, which proved to be a day of reckoning for many on the previous council, that meeting minutes for the hydro boards are scarce. Council has been told during updates there are some minutes going back about a year, but beyond that there is next to nothing. It would appear minutes is not the only thing current officials cannot access. “In early 2019, as the new board of GEI took over, it became apparent that the email records of GEI prior to the date of the election, were not on the server used by GEI and had become unavailable,” states the claim. In summarizing the claim, the filing states, “GEI, the Town of Grimsby and HoldCo 2 all suffered the full extent of the losses which total $18,000,000, the full particulars of which will be provided to the defendants prior to trial.” “NPI is left with a $3,00,000 loan receivable and no prospect of recovery. GHI lost its only asset when it was sold at the direction of the defendant James Detenbeck, and the cash obtained from that transaction was transferred to GEI and used on the project. The $7,000,000 in net proceeds of the sale of the 25% interest in NRBN, are gone.”

Training day with GAMRU

Reporter spends a day on the water with dedicated group of volunteers

By Tristan Marks NewsNow (Editor’s Note: Reporter Tristan Marks joined GAMRU volunteers on the lake as they trained. This is Part 1 of a two-part series.) The sun beat down over Fifty Point Marina, where the GAMRU volunteers busily loaded up their two ships. It was a pleasant Sunday on July 14, and Fifty Point Park was abustle with people looking to enjoy the weather. Part of a GAMRU volunteer’s duty is to undergo training once a weeks to keep sharp and continually ready for rescue procedures. That was the day’s purpose: to practice a number of rescue exercises. As the crew of GAMRU 240- the larger of the organization’s two boats- prepared to cast off, Coxswain Steve Ingram made one final check of the stowed equipment. He said this was a necessary part of any foray, even training. The inventory would be part of a status report relayed to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Trenton, Ontario. “We don’t do any-

thing without their say so,” Deputy Unit Leader Doug Mepham added. “They keep track of all of us on the water: where we are, what we are doing, even what equipment we’re carrying.” After receiving confirmation, GAMRU 240 cast off from the docks and proceeded from the marina, following their smaller boat, GAMRU 334 into the open waters of Lake Ontario. Safety is top priority for an organization like GAMRU. Even during the search for a sufficient spot for onthe-water training, two of the crew members stood as spotters. Positioned at the stern of the vessel, the spotters surveilled the waters at 15 degree intervals, ever vigilant for any sign of an emergency. “The idea is not to focus on one spot for too long,” said Coxswain Ingram. He explained that spotters play an important role, as victims of an emergency do not always get a chance to activate a distress signal. The search for a training spot took some time with the large volume

of water-bound traffic. The day was unusually busy due to the pleasant weather. “Usually we have to head out as the other boats are coming in,” Mepham said with a grin. Eventually the ships arrived at a remote enough area to begin training. Ingram went below deck to fetch Oscar, a training dummy. Dressed in summerappropriate wear and a PFD (a life vest), Oscar can emulate the weight of a grown adult. With a heave-ho, Ingram and crewman Mike Spencer cast the dummy into the lake. Spencer returned to his post as spotter along with the other crewman, Daniell Mackie, where the pair kept line of sight on Oscar as the boat pulled away. Once in place, the crew began step one of any rescue procedure: SAPP. The acronym stands for “Stop, Assess, Plan and Proceed”. Mepham explained that it is an enforced discipline for all rescue operations that ensures the safety of all parties involved, including the GAMRU rescuers themselves. “We can’t help any-

Fruit? Distillery helped put Grimsby on map Located among vineyards and orchards, Grimsby has long been a centre for beverages made from fruits. One of the earliest wineries in Ontario was that of W.W. Kitchen whose farm on Main Street West produced award-winning pure grape wine as early as 1864. The earliest distillery was a short-lived venture in 1811 by Henry Nelles and John E. Kay. It only lasted one season. Later, Mott Udell was listed in the Canada Directory 1851 as “distiller and brewer.” It wasn’t until the 20th Century that these industries became prevalent in the Niagara Peninsula. In 1930, Dunrobin Distillery came on the scene in Grimsby. Although the company was successful for a number of years, it has remained in the shadows of the town’s history. Here’s what we know. Dunrobin Distillery was founded in 1930 by Dr. George Mackay Sutherland born in 1872 near Woodstock, Ontario. He was probably the same Dr. Sutherland who graduated from the Chicago College of Dental Surgery at Lake Forest University in 1892. We know little of his life in between except that in about 1896 he joined the King Solomon’s Lodge No. 22 in Toronto so he almost certainly visited Union Lodge No. 7 in Grimsby later on. In 1913 he married Florence Mae Peirce of Toronto where he was

practicing dentistry. The distillery was named for the stunning Dunrobin Valley, and Dunrobin Castle, one of the largest ‘great houses’ in the highlands of Scotland. This has been the ancestral home of the Earls and Dukes of Sutherland since the 1300s. Dr. Sutherland adopted the traditional Sutherland family crest for the labels of his distillery products. The distillery was on the site of the present Grimsby Benevolent Fund building which was originally built around 1890 by George Van Dyke. Before becoming Dunrobin Distillery, the building had been the Doran Ice Rink, Bay Mac Tire, and for one winter, temporary home to animals from a travelling circus. Dr. Sutherland bought the building under Power of Sale. He was listed as founder of the business; Florence was secretary/owner. The business progressed rapidly. Ezra Charles (E.C.) Welsh of Youngstown, Ohio was hired as vice-president and general manager. He had had previous distillery experience with both design and operation. The distillery produced fruit brandy, brandy, gin, rum and liqueurs made from local fruits and grains. In 1933, it was announced a second distillery would be opened in Youngstown to produce “Middletown Golden Rye”. This was already a well-known

Rare Dunrobin Distillery Brandy label from the collection of Lee Sutherland of Guelph. At that time, the brand in Ohio, as it had been produced by Wire, board of directors Welsh and Co. Distillers included Dr. Sutherland and E.C. Welsh. until prohibition closed Meanwhile in Grimsthe business in 1917. by, E.C. Welsh was It was expected planning big things for that Dunrobin’s new Dunrobin. He designed plant would produce an extension to the ma300,000 cases of turing warehouse that Golden Rye each year. would accommodate Apparently, no one 6000 barrels of spirits. expected that this The building would would be a problem, be tile and steel with a but it was four more metal roof, and would years before the presibe steam heated with dent of Dunrobin, John Gleeson was able to an- temperature controls. In 1935, the distillery nounce that Dunrobin “has taken out a license was making brandy from local grape with to manufacture spirits from grains and fruits in plans to switch to grain distilling when the the United States”.

Dunrobin Distillery was located at the current Grimsby Benevolent Store site.

grape season ended. The following year, Welsh added a column still, a copper flavour still and several new tanks. At one time he also had plans to expand the building to seven stories, each one smaller than the one below. This did not happen. Unexpectedly, 1938 became a sad year for Dunrobin. In April, Welsh who had been living at 14 Depot St. (now Ontario Street) returned to his home in Youngstown feeling under the weather. He passed away a few days later from a serious case of pneumonia. It was a great loss for Dunrobin, as Welsh seemed to have been a moving force at the Oak Street location. However Middletown Golden Rye was his legacy in his home territory. Even today, there is a Golden Rye Circle (a street) and a Golden Rye Grille in New Middletown, Ohio. Florence Sutherland also lived at 14 Depot Street. The landlady was the widowed Mary Cornwell who also had a tailoring and pressing business in addition to being hostess to boarders. Florence remained in Grimsby for another year, then returned to Toronto. Dr. Sutherland died in Toronto in 1958; Florence died in 1965. The building was once again sold by power of sale from the Town of Grimsby to United Distillers Ltd. In 1939, United Distillers continued to produce a

wide variety of Dunrobin labels such as Wee McKay Very Old Liqueur Whisky, Big Ben London Dry Gin, Old Inspector Rum and Silver Fizz London Dry Gin. In time, the Dunrobin name was purchased by Seagrams, and finally the distillery was closed in 1954. A 1968 edition of The Grimsby Independent carried an interesting story about a Dunrobin product. It seems that in 1948, the company was distilling an imitation whisky under the label Auld Malcolm. An order for 5,247 cases was shipped to a distributor in the southern US, but was impounded in St. Paul, Minnesota when the distributor went bankrupt and could not pay either the excise tax or the shipping costs. By this time, Dunrobin had been absorbed by Seagrams who were not inclined to pay, either. Auld Malcolm remained in limbo in a warehouse in St. Paul for 20 years until it became obvious that no one was going to pay the costs. Excise officers ordered that all 62,964 bottles be removed from storage and bulldozed. The only reminders of Dunrobin in Grimsby today are a few artifacts at Grimsby Museum and a new street called Dunrobin Lane. Of course, there is still an aura of mystery surrounding the distillery and the nebulous presence of Dr. George Mackay Sutherland with his passion for distilling.

GBF gets McDonation

Alyssa Zandwyk accepts a donation from McDonald’s Grimsby co-owner Carolina Infante, proceeds from a bottle drive and trivia night held at Club Roma in St. Catharines. Eight McDonald’s Restaurants in Niagara participated. All proceeds were dispersed among Ronald McDonald House of South Central Ontario, GBF Community Services and two other selected charities. GBF’s funds will go directly to its child and youth programming, such as the new mental health initiative, community activities and purchasing healthy kids snacks for the food bank.

’Nuff said It has taken many years to get to the point where not another single word needs to be uttered regarding Grimsby’s biodigester. Finally. Much of what was outlined in the court filings last week in the civil suit filed by Town of Grimsby et al against three former members of its hydro companies boards of directors has been dealt with in the pages of this paper over a LONG period of time. While it is important news, it is not good news. Absolutely nothing about that situation is good and that will not change for the immediate future. Beginning to end, that court filing is 18 pages long. The overview published represents maybe 20 per cent of the details. It will be interesting to see how the courts interpret it all. M.W.

Possible good news not a moment too soon This time last week West Lincoln Memorial Hospital was looking at the spectre of having no secure redirection plan for elective procedures and rare cases where an unexpected operating room need could necessitate a patient transfer. It was believed by Hamilton Health Sciences officials that there was an agreement in place with Niagara Health Systems for this redirection of patients, but NHS opted out of that plan. This brought about a call from one health system CEO - Rob MacIsaac at HHS – to another health system CEO –NHS’s Tom Stewart. When asked about this circumstance last week, HHS officials came back with, “We’re still working with our partners to develop a plan to support the L&D redirection in August and September. As always, care providers will work directly with patients to make the safest and most appropriate care decisions.” Oh yes, we must work in the need to preserve patients safety!! Problem with not having an agreement in place last week was, the closure of one of WLMH operating rooms for conversion to a sterile storage area was to start the very next day, last Friday. That closure was delayed a month and is now expected to start Aug. 2. The closure, which was initially announced as a sixweek closure has generally been consistently discussed as an eight-week closure now and the delay in start of the work really stretches the impact of that proposal to as much as 12 weeks by the time you include in the delay aspect. Now, HHS officials are working through this, they

MIKE WILLISCRAFT say, and a satisfactory redirection plan will be arrived at, at some point. I preface the good news, and it could be very good news, by noting all this because I don’t want anyone thinking my brief “cliff hanger” of a comment last week was nothing other than sabre rattling. As happens far more than I care to admit, I simply did not have time to get to that story and do a proper job last week. On this occasion I am happy about that since, later in the week, quite possibly the only good news to come out of WLMH or HHS since last October started to evolve. Simply, a work-around solution creatively arrived at through combining the needs of the WLMH medical staff and an engineer, architects and HHS staff was arrived at. The result of this proposal cuts a great deal of time and money out of what was facing WLMH and its staff. The result could see the work being completed by late summer 2020. Compared to what has been HHS’s front line sales item since this whole thing blew up last Fall, this is absolutely the best-case scenario. Of course there are still hoops to jump through and details and implementa-

tion processes to iron out, but when one looks at the track record and conduct of how the WLMH file has been handled in the last nine months, this is right up there with invention of the wheel for positive impact on our community. It’s great, stupendous, in fact. So, you’re asking, what’s the catch...’cause there always seems to be one where this whole affair is concerned. Well, good reader, the catch is, the proposal I read last week is almost wordfor-word the same proposal I heard outlined in a Grimsby livingroom during a conversation with residents, a member of the WLMH staff and people involved in the construction industry. Being creative, using available space better and tweaking or redesigning others to avoid a massive overhaul was a great idea then and it is a great idea now. Think of all the turmoil, stress and outright anger on the part of many which could have been avoided had there been more time and attention paid to working in the direction of plan as simple as what seems to have full local approval now. At this point, none of that matters. We are where we are. The closure of one operating room for an immediate and short-term solution is imminent and this new proposal could cut nearly two years out of the initial 27-month projection for work duration. Last week would have been dark without this new information so make no mistake, all tolled, this comes out on the positive side of the ledger. Let’s hope it comes together as proposed.

Pastor Jim, 97, preaching Sunday at Shalom By Joanne McDonald For NewsNow Rev. James Van Weelden, Pastor Jim to all who know him, has been preaching the gospel of amazing grace for the past 77 years and his message has never changed. He took the words of Ephesians 2:8 “for by grace you have been saved through faith” to Grand Haven, a Michigan congregation where he preached his first sermon in 1941. “I’ve been preaching the gospel of amazing grace ever since. I’m just more experienced.” This Sunday, Pastor Jim, 97, will bring the same good news to the chapel at Shalom Manor and Gardens. After 77 years, the joy of the ministry that he has shared with so many congregations resonates in his voice, his quick wit and kind nature. The well-loved minister served as pastor at the Mountainview Christian Reformed Church in Grimsby from 1973 until he retired in 1984. Since then has continued to preach in at least 50 different churches throughout Niagara and Hamilton. “He is a pillar in the community,” said Shalom Manor volunteer
