WLMH obstetricians’ privileges extended at NHS By MIke Williscraft NewsNow It was down to the 11th hour, but West Lincoln Memorial Hospital obstetricians (OBs) will have privileges extended to Niagara Health Systems’ St. Catharines General (SCG) site. The decision was unveiled to staff in a Friday, Oct. 11 memo from Sharon Pierson, Hamilton Health Sciences vp community medicine and population health.
Previously, WLMH OBs’ privileges were to expire yesterday (Oct. 16) which would have meant patients and midwives would have been able to utilize SCG but local obstetricians would have to go to McMaster. “Niagara Health – St Catharines site has confirmed that WLMH obstetricians will be able to support care for their patients, including those in labour and inductions. Pre-planned elective C-sections will
continue to be provided at WLMH,” noted the staff memo. The decision came just two days after Robin Martin, parliamentary assistant to Minister of Health Christine Elliott, was at WLMH to announce $2 million in funding for additional upgrades and sit in on a open discussion with staff and local officials. “We made the ask at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and approval came at 4:30 on Thursday. I am very thankful. It
was crucial for our obstetricians to be able to support their patients in St. Catharines,” said Citizen Action Committee co-chair Tony Joosse. “Now we need to get the oneyear construction time down to get us back to two fully operating operating rooms sooner.” Joosse is referring to the closure of obstetrics at WLMH until fall 2020 while additional renovation work is done.

Is paying your mortgage off before you retire a GHS Monthly Meetingplan? sound financial For many homeowners, the long-term goal is to be “mortgage-free” before retirement, which is admirable, but then what happens? You will most likely earn less Wednesday October income in retirement than when you were employed, but your expenses aren’t 23, 2019likely to decrease proportionately. Are you prepared to sell your home at that time, or will you have to re-mortgage to get some of your equity so that7:30pm-9:00pm you can continue to live in the home? After retirement, your access to competitively-priced mortgage solutions will diminish - which is why reverse mortgages have become the default alternative for Town many senior homeowners. Grimsby Hall Reverse mortgages can be a great solution for the age 80+ homeowner, but for younger Chambersthe ultimate “retirement mortgage” is a home equity line of credit. retired homeowners, Your success at obtaining 160 Livingston Avea mortgage is dependent on your income - The more you earn, the more you can borrow. Financial institutions may not include your RIF income when assessing Grimsby a mortgage application, unless the RIF is guaranteed to provide continuous income well past the term of the mortgage and the RIF portfolio is at least 1.5 times the amount you are trying to borrow. It is much easier to be approved for credit while you are still gainfully employed. You may retire and not need access your home equity for many more years, but when you do finally need to ALLtoARE access your equity, wouldn’t it be comforting to know that you can - without having to sell? If youWELCOME are approaching retirement in the next three to five years, and you want to continue to live in your home well past that retirement date, then I strongly encourage you to make an appointment with me so that we can take some time now to plan for that. Talk to us. You’ll be impressed.

The video, “Tall Tales - The Mostly True History of Cave Springs” will also compete in the Edmonton Short Film Festival. Stories associated with the area include tales of hidden caches of artifacts, mysterious rock carvings, an ice cave and the fountain of youth.

Grimsby boxer raises funds to knock out MS Grimsby boxer ‘Wild One’ Kelly Wilson hosted a “Bingo for Boxing” event at the Beamsville Legion to raise money to support MS charities in West Lincoln . This was done as part of her participation in the upcoming Nov. 29 Pearl Gloves boxing event. As one of the fighters on the card, Wilson was required to host an event of her own to help support the organization’s goal of eliminating MS. Her event raised $1,500. Tickets to the Pearl Gloves event in St. Catharines are sold out, but people can still donate under Wilson’s name by visiting pearlgloves.ca.

Dance draw winner
Vaida Allingham, left, was the lucky winner of the door prize at the Grimsby Lions Club’s pre-teen dance Sept. 20 at Peach King Centre. Pat Jaskula of prize sponsor Canadian Tire made the presentation of ECKO stereo headphones. All dance proceeds go to community activities.
Credit where credit is due A gift horse will not be looked in the mouth, not here. Hamilton Health Sciences announced late last week that West Lincoln Memorial obstetricians will be given privileges - allowing them to follow their patients - while the one-year (approximate) closure of service is in place to allow for more renovations. This is great news for the patients’ peace of mind and the docs who care for them. There is nothing but positivity here. This was very important for continuity of care and in allowing those in the OBS stream to continue work in the area over the next year - crucial, in fact. Hamilton Health Sciences delivered and now local docs can keep delivering. Thanks to HHS, nice work! M.W.
Odour a problem or not, go to meeting There is no doubt, public meetings hosted by municipalities are normally pretty boring. Yes, they are important often times, but boring just the same. Next week, Town of Lincoln will host its first two of three open houses regarding its pending bylaw and Official Plan changes in response to ongoing and developing issues regarding cannabis production. There are hundreds of homes affected by cannabis odours emanating from greenhouse production facilities. There have been some issues with illegal grows and production beyond what has been licensed, but generally the serious and ongoing odour problems are wafting about from legal operations. The more recent problems which have enveloped Jordan and Vineland have been well documented in our pages. For the most part, that situation was cleared up effectively and quickly as the location did not conform to the interim control bylaw which is in effect for a few more months. This meeting is important for ALL, and if you think not, wait until a grower acquires a warehouse or property anywhere near your neighbourhood and see if you think it is important then. The odour issue is powerful, penetrating and unrelenting if you are within an effected circumference. You may not have a problem now, but one could pop up tomorrow...and just about anywhere. This is another one of the problems with greenhouses being considered agricultural use. No doubt some are, but most, and certainly the weed production grows, are full-on manufacturing facilities.
MIKE WILLISCRAFT We will continue to cover the issue, of course, and we will cover the open houses, but if I hear from residents complaining next year, my first question will be, “did you voice your concerns at the open houses last fall?” And I will check with the Town, too. If you don’t turn out at one of the three sessions, your opinion will mean much less to me, honestly. Residents cannot sit back on this one. You have to get proactive, and be persistent. Not because Lincoln officials are being tardy or lackadaisical in their approach to the problem but because they will be powered by your responses. Granted, you may not notice the skunky smell near your home, but I can just about guarantee every man, woman and child who has driven through or been a passenger in a vehicle which gets filled with that lovely odour in travels around the immediate area. Along Hwy. 8, the services roads and along in-town streets it is almost unavoidable anymore. So, as I note, it may not be immediate to your home, but it could be, soon, and you may have absolutely NO say in the matter at that point. If you cannot get to a meeting, submit a written response.
You will be glad you got informed. ****** Monday at 6 p.m. That is the final deadline for Hat Trick Hockey. If you read the Page 3 story, you will have seen we cleared 450 for the early bird. That is an increase of nearly 30 per cent from last year and by far a record number, so we’ll see where this week takes us. The office will be open Monday night right up to the 6 p.m. deadline so you can bring your entries right in the door. If you are dropping off in the evening, use the mailslot. Please put your entry(ies) in an envelope or paper clip/staple your entry fee to your entry. Any entries, mailed or otherwise, must be in our 1 Mountain St. office by the 6 p.m. deadline. The first year I did Hat Trick at the old Independent we got 186 entries. It went up about 100 each season after and finally, in 2003, we clearly 1,000 for the first and only time. The next season came the strike and that year there was no Stanley Cup winner... there was no season, in fact. The season after that it was like starting over...we were back down to about 450 entries and fan interest in hockey was at an all-time low. Fans were not happy. It took about five years before there was any bump at all and it started to come back in 2011. The next year, NewsNow was born, the contest came back to me, and it has been growing ever since. This year, we have a shot at getting back to 1,000 and that would be awesome. You cannot beat a 1-in1,000 chance to win a trip to a Stanley Cup game for $5. Good luck to all!
Walking in downtown Grimsby a dodgy prospect Dear Editor, Walking in downtown Grimsby is dangerous and getting more dangerous every day! On September 30, 2019 at 10:30 a.m., as I approached the intersection of Ontario and Main Streets I noticed a car on Main St. with the left turn signal flashing to turn onto Ontario St. There were two cars on Ontario St., one about to turn
LETTERS west onto Main and the other to turn east onto Main St. These two cars were stopped and I proceeded to cross from the east side of Ontario St. to the west side. Now I was midway across the intersection when I noticed the car turning and coming right for me! I had to jump out of the way or else get

hit. Looking at the driver as I jumped... there was no eye contact whatsoever! My heart rate started to race as I walked on and took several minutes to return to its normal rate. This is the third time that I have nearly been struck down at an intersection here in Grimsby and I am very annoyed with drivers here. Not wanting to be paranoid about walk-
