WL wants regional OP flexibility By Joanne McDonald For NewsNow As Niagara Region develops a new Official Plan for 2021, West Lincoln councillors want assurance the Township will not be painted with the same broad brush as larger urban centres. Maintaining flexibility, they say, can play a role in allowing them to shape their own community, protect agriculture and retain the character and lifestyle. “There is going to be a lot of input gathered,” David Heyworth, Official
Plan policy consultant for the Region told Council July 23. “You will have a lot of opportunities. We are working hand in hand with area planners. They are our key input and know the planning issues of a municipality. We have to conform with provincial policies but we want to provide flexibility where we can.” Coun. Dave Bylsma wanted confirmation that regional policy makers are looking at West Lincoln through a rural lens and respecting the differences that
attract people to a smaller community. He was concerned the same brush being used for urban intensification needs in areas such as downtown St. Catharines “is not painting us all with the same needs.” While the original Official Plan developed in the 1970s primarily focused on protecting agricultural lands and establishing urban boundaries, the Region has since increased its planning functions under an evolving provincial planning

By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Nick Wallace has covered a lot of ground. From a career start of performing for family and friends to hand magic on Main Street Grimsby to The Rio’s Las Vegas stage his career has taken him to some interesting places. None have proven more exciting than a whirlwind taping of the Penn & Teller: Fool Us television show in March. The program is scheduled to air Monday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. on The CW Network. The 36-year-old performer who graduated from Blessed Trinity Catholic Secondary School “back when it was all still portables” said the experience was incredible. “The process started with me submitting two tapes with two different tricks. The producers chose one,” said Wallace. After several levels of communication with producers, Wallace and his wife, Jessica, were See MAGIC, Page 3

From Page 1 system. “The preliminary objectives are to promote and achieve great development outcomes that contribute to complete community solutions and a quality urban experience, facilitate opportunities for economic growth, protect regional natural and agricultural resources and adequately respond to the challenges of climate change,” Heyworth said. Coun. Mike Rehner fears that new Official Plan policies will turn over agricultural lands for development. “What we’re losing is our heritage and why people love to come to this community. So in your planning, while you look at justification for areas, it’s important that it stays the same. Not every area needs to be developed. Sometimes not having growth is a good thing too,” Rehner said. The new Official Plan is critical to the Township especially with discussions around urban

boundaries, Brian Treble, Director of Planning and Building for West Lincoln told Council. “We are more and more limited in terms of our planning options and they’re (the Region) limited under provincial policy,” Treble said. “This is an important process and we encourage all to get involved.” Heyworth said studies will determine how much land is needed for growth and whether there is sufficient or surplus. “The process allows a rationalizing of urban boundaries and the possibility of expanding urban boundaries. So in looking at the issue with West Lincoln, there will be a lot of background studies that have to take place as to where should the boundaries be and what are impacts on agricultural lands.” Coun. Joann Chechalk said the new Official Plan must protect farmers and the changing face of agriculture. She also called on the council and the community to get involved.

MAGIC From Page 1 flown to Las Vegas to attend a taping of the show at the Rio. For someone who is building a career based on knowing all that is going in - in detail - it was keenly interesting for him to see how the process rolled out. “It’s very tightly run. I worked with two consultants for the show throughout the process. Penn and Teller are kept completely in the dark. We did’t get to talk to them at all,” said Wallace. “They put us all in a green room. They tape more acts than they need. I got a 10-minute rehearsal, then I went from the green room into a service elevator, it goes up to the stage area and you walk right out. It was like being an astronaut,” recalled Wallace. And to add to the suspense, not all perform-

show airs, but it was a great experience,” Wallace added. With three days of taping interviews and
promo spots all around Vegas, Wallace added the five minutes he was on stage was when he was most calm. “I have total control over that five minutes. I just do what I have done hundreds of times. I was just excited. My wife was a nervous wreck for both of us,” he laughed. Although he did not get much of a chance to speak with his idols, Wallace did note that Teller did come back stage after the taping for a brief conversation. “He had a couple of questions about my act,” said Wallace with a grin. With several projects in the hopper, Wallace noted his next local performance will be Friday, Sept. 21 at Robertson Hall in St. Catharines.

Are you ready to “think outside the Bank”? When purchasing a home, don’t assume that having a bank mortgage pre-approval is any guarantee that you will successfully obtain financing; The bank pre-approval is essentially an interest rate-hold, and nothing more!
Once you enter into an agreement to purchase a property, we must then re-submit your application to the lender for a firm approval. At this point, the lender will thoroughly underwrite the file, and ask you for full income and downpayment documentation. The lender may also request that an appraisal be done on the property, to confirm the market value and overall condition. Include a financing clause in your purchase agreement.
Meet Hayley, your hometown broker that can:
If your financing is not approved, or the home appraises for less than what you agreed to pay, you are able to back out of the purchase, and your deposit is returned to you - but only if you have included a financing condition in your offer. For more information on this topic, or any other mortgage-related questions, please contact me. I welcome this opportunity to assist you with your homepurchase plan.

Iron Girl raises $4K for McNally, $17K for cancer research/advocacy Great participation, fundraising results and ideal weather made for a picture perfect Grimsby Iron Girl event on Saturday, says organizer Nick Stoehr. “The 5-km raised over $4,000 for McNally House and we are close to $20,000 for breast cancer research. We also had about 1,000 women participate over the weekend,” noted Stoehr. “It was an absolutely great weekend. We are proud of our athletes, volunteers and the community.” This year’s overall Subaru Iron Girl Triathlon winner was Blaire Kniaziew Gervais (1:06.19), second was Julie Martens (1:06.32) and third was Kirsty
Andrews (1:10.25). The 5km in support of McNally House was won by Rebecca Read in a time of 22.46. In second was Barbara Ball (23.33)) and third was Jessica Thibault (24.13). Top fundraisers in the triathlon were: Kim McGowan who raised $3,040; Lynda Lemon who raised $1,730, and; Elizabeth Bryan who raised $1,685. In the 5-km event, added to boost the profile of McNally House Hospice, Barb Ball was the top fundraiser generating more than $1,000. “Thank you to all those athletes and their support crews who helped raise funds,” said Stoehr.

Grimsby cracks Top 40 places to live in Ontario With high scores for its access to health care, low crime, and cultural services, MoneySense magazine’s annual ranking of the best places to live in Canada rated Grimsby as the best place to live in Niagara. Released July 31, the Town of Grimsby ranked 83 out of a possible 415 communities, improving upon its 2017 showing of 86. The town also received a higher ranking than its neighbouring communities of Hamilton (163) Lincoln (189) and West Lincoln (364). Within just Ontario, Grimsby was ranked 38 out of the 150 communities that were looked at in the province. “It will come to the surprise of no one that lives in Grimsby that the town has been ranked as the best place to live in Niagara,” says Mayor Bob Bentley. “This strong result speaks to the positive momentum we are experiencing throughout the town and the many accomplishments of town council.” Of the 10 different criteria that the magazine used to grade communities, Grimsby scored in the top 25 per cent of the country for access to health care and doctors, low rates of crime and strong employment in the arts, culture and recreation sector. Other factors which contributed to Grimsby’s strong ranking included a low unemployment rate, high household income, strong real-estate market and a mild climate.

A lot of heart behind this Saturday’s car/truck show Jack said Jeff’s mom Wendy told him something good has to come out of the tragedy. Devastated by the loss, “her words were that something good has to come out of this …if she can save even one life and help other families.” Jeff was just a teenager when he met Jack and his wife Colleen. Tears in their eyes, they recalled the enthusiastic super friendly young man who would do anything for anyone. “He had a passion for people, for automobiles, dogs, horses…..” Jeff was respected and much loved in the tow trucking industry where he became a veteran driver and earned the name ‘Jspec Tows’ for his professional attention to every vehicle. “He was the friendliest tow truck driver you could imagine and when a vehicle was tied down on a flat bed, it had to pass Jeff’s inspection for safety. He cared that much not only for the vehicles, but for the people,” Jack said. “The effort he put into his work, into tying the vehicle to the tow truck in order that it was safe, showed just a portion of the love he had for people

By Joanne McDonald For NewsNow Struggling through the grief of losing a friend, Jack Mulholland has worked round the clock to restore his classic truck for the August 18 memorial charity car and truck show that will bring together the many who loved Jeff McKillop. It was sometime around 2004 when Jack helped Jeff build his first derby car for the Smithville Fair. “He couldn’t get it running and his mother Wendy called and asked if I could help,” Jack said. “Over the course of the next month we built the derby car and became friends.” “We knew him for so many years. He was always kind, always laughing. We never knew he was struggling.” Jeff was a joy to all who knew him, but they knew little of the pain that led the 31-year-old to take his own life May 18. When it comes to grief there is no clear road to travel, but the path to the West Niagara Agricultural Centre will be marked by a massive outpouring of support for those needing a voice for mental health and PTSD.
Jack noticed a collage of framed photos from the funeral and realized just how much their lives were intertwined. There was Jeff, posing with his derby car, and in the background of the photo, Jack’s parents and the trailer and truck that had towed Jeff to derby so many times. Jeff was a treasure to so many, the much loved son of Peter and Wendy and the beloved brother of Jennifer and Megan. Proceeds from the memorial truck and car show will go to Pathstone Mental Health, which works to strengthen the quality of life for families across Niagara who are dealing with mental health challenges. The Jeff McKillop Memorial Charity Car & Truck Show will be held Saturday, Aug. 18, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the West Niagara Agricultural Centre, 7420 Mud. St. W., West Lincoln. The charity event is set to raise money and support for mental health and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) awareness. The event includes a full day with the car and truck show, trophies, live music with country singer Brad Battle, ‘Touch a Truck’ ‘Smash a Car’, lots of good food and vendors. The $10 admission fee per car includes a raffle ticket.

Grimsby’s #1...in Niagara It’s true, Grimsby is sitting on top of the world when it comes to desirability among municipalities in Niagara and in the Top 40 in Ontario. It must be true. It was right there in print, in a publication not NewsNow, no less!! But seriously, ladies and germs, MoneySense Magazine came out a list of top communities in which to live from a pool of 415 from across the country. We know Grimsby is a great place, as is all of Niagara West. It is nice to have some third party commentary supporting that, though. The timing is perfect. If you listen carefully, you can hear Grimsby council members preparing their comments for the next meeting. It would seem a natural that their smooth demeanor and careful, calculated decision making is entirely responsible for the 86th overall showing, with #1 in Niagara. There are a lot of great reasons to live in Grimsby. It is submitted, though, this is in spite of council’s most recent term, not because of it. M.W.
Not fake, but falsies news Of course there is more bio refuse and other election related goings on, but I need a break, so let’s go off the board this week. Let’s talk a little mix old school and millennials. No, I’m not going to pile on millennials. They certainly have a different view of things, it is not one I share (to a large extent) and not one I have an interest in connecting to but, I am a huge believer of to each his own. Do your thing. Enjoy what you do. And don’t waste time hating on things...life is too short. We were talking in the office this week about something I cannot help but laugh at every time I see it on TV. Model flavour of the month Gigi Hadid can be seen applying falsies to her eyelashes, er, maybe I should say Falsies Mascara. To anyone beyond the age of a millennial, see falsies in big letters across a screen will only conjure images of one things, er, make that two things; the details of which I won’t get into. Let’s just say, it is hilarious. I am sure Maybelline thought they were being cute playing on the long and storied tradition of falsies in naming their product. At least I hope they were attempting to be clever, however, I can also see them thinking, “ok, we want to connect with 20-somethings, teens and pre-teens, so let’s get Gigi in there. Now we just need a catchy, brief name for false eyelashes and we’re set!” “I know,” says one, “Falsies sounds tubular.” Oh wait, tubular is too old, maybe I should have said “narly”? No, wait, still too old. Why don’t we go with “lit”, ya lit works. Not only is putting Falsies on your face just plain silly, but the fact a major cosmetic
MIKE WILLISCRAFT company would invest 10 of millions of dollars in product development and promotion does not but further testify to the divide between millennials and all those older than their age classification. They must think it will work, or more likely millennials just wouldn’t care even if they know the original usage of the term. I suspect it was a corporation thinking they could be cute about it while speaking to a audience more worried about selfies and insta-chats than anything else. I just think it is super funny and I laugh out loud every time I see that commercial come on. Watch for it... So another item I was scratching my head over last week, a major study was rolled out which came to the conclusion that kids having cell phones in school negatively impacted their marks. Duh! It is strange how things that didn’t exist until just a few years ago now not only seem to be prerequisites for existence but there seems to be a sense of entitlement with phones that overrides all common sense. Classroom settings - we’re talking elementary and high schools here because once kids get to university they are completely entitled to make their own choices - should be
cell phone free environments. Schools have people everywhere. Each classroom has an intercom if anything should occur and a connection needs to be made. We’re talking classrooms here. If kids have phones in their lockers, that’s one thing. If they are on free time in the cafeteria or library, another thing again. Some of the ridiculous stories I have heard about teachers getting grief for taking kids’ phones shows a waste of time, energy and resources on both sides. There should be a definitive line which, when crossed, triggers a solution. The question is, are cell phones a learning tool or a distraction? A different study of more than 4,000 Canadian high school students found 79.3 per cent owned a cell phone. Of that group, cells were already banned for 88.4 per cent of those. It noted that while cells are banned, a majority of schools considered the ban “fruitless”. That is the “entitled” part of the equation. Ya, I am sounding old when I say, when I was a student if you stepped out of line you got it with both barrels. I only ever saw one incident when “the strap” came into play when I was in Grade 3 and that was no pretty. I’m definitely not saying I want to go back to corporal punishment, but teachers and school system have to have some teeth in how they are able to deal with students, and not just on the cell phone front. Cells can just reveal a symptom rather than being the whole illness, if you know what I mean there. Maybe kids can use their phones to google falsies, then they will understand the first part of these ramblings.
