Downtown Grimsby suffers fire hangover On-street parking open regularly By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Anyone who is a regular visitor to downtown Grimsby will know the great feeling achieved when you find a parking spot right in front of the shop you are about to visit. Regulars will have noticed a difference in recent weeks as onstreet parking is much easier these days. Bryan Macaulay, one of Main Street’s longest serving merchants setting up shop with his Village Studio in 1993, has seen downtown at its best and worst over the years. “You just have to look out at the street at any time of day, every day. It is not uncommon right now to see 10 or more spots open for some length of time,” said Macaulay. “That is the first indicator. I am sure the Farmers Market getting pushed down the street will have impacted some more than others, but this goes far beyond that. This is a daily issue.” The issue Macaulay

speaks of is the partial Main Street road closure which has been in place since the July 6 fire, which claimed four businesses and an apartment on its way to causing $2 millionplus in damages. Mary Jo Clements is at the opposite end of the retailer scale with her practically “new born” store The Happy Baby, which opened in December 2015. Clements, too, has felt similar foot traffic reductions. “While the loss of the market and festivals certainly has a significant role, I agree that it’s definitely the overall loss of traffic downtown due to the road closer and perceived inconvenience of coming downtown that’s hitting us the hardest,” said Clements. “Traffic is down everyday not just market days, and that has a direct impact on sales as I can’t sell to people who aren’t here. Small businesses can be made or broken on very small numbers and even a few hundred dollars difference See CLOSE, Page 2

From Page 1 a day can mean the difference between making rent or not.” An example of the impacts felt in recent weeks is Melissa GilruthZammit’s From Creation & Beyond shop. “It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the closing of our store. Effective Aug. 29 we will be closing our retail operations located at 43 Main St. East in Grimsby,” wrote Gilruth-Zammit. “A decline in sales and the loss of foot traffic in the downtown core has made it impossible to keep our store running.” At this point, there is no end in site for the AV-P(sp) closure of Main between Ontario and Elm. One Version Only west bound traffic through the light is permitted, which vehicles headingAV-P(sp) east on Main have to detour north on One Version Ontario Street. Grimsby Fire Chief Mike Cain and town AV-P(sp) One Version

manager Derik Brandt have yet to hear from the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office on cause or Niagara Region regarding the eventual reopening of Main Street. The tender for the demo closed last week, so it is expected to be awarded any day, but a permit still has to be applied for, noted Brandt. “The fence that is set up delineates the fallout area in case the façade of either building tumbles. Once what is left of the buildings come down that won’t be necessary any more and can be removed,” wrote Brandt in an email on Tuesday. “Once construction starts, that becomes a different scenario. I have seen permission sought to occupy the sidewalk during construction. I’m not sure if that will happen here, but it is often necessary. At this point I can’t see any need for the road closure during construction.

Niagara Regional Police Service’s 8-District officers and Ministry of Transportation officials conducted a commercial vehicle inspection in Grimsby last Thursday at Peach King Arena. Officer’s concentrated their efforts primarily on heavy commercial vehicles, dump trucks and contracted roofers/landscape vehicles. Over the course of the short, localized inspection, 14 vehicles were given complete safety inspections. Officers removed two vehicles from the road, and laid 12 provincial offence notices for various offences including insecure loads, major and minor defects, and document offences.

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. 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-relatedquestions, please contact me. I welcome this opportunity to assist you with your home-purchase plan.

of the spring and summer have resulted in some boats launching late or not getting in the water at all,” Gordon said. “With some marinas and yacht clubs struggling to offer their regular services, there have been fewer recreational boaters on the water. Those who braved the highwater levels discovered lots of floating debris in the lake and some navigational challenges.” The response of the community to the unit’s fundraising efforts has been gratifying, Gordon noted. “Generous donations from the Grimsby Firefighters Association, Grimsby Legion and the Grimsby Seniors’ Choir are just some of the

examples of community generosity,” said Gordon. Last week, a family with a boat in Fifty Point Marina raised money for the volunteers by making and selling handicrafts around the boating community. Students Danielle Dinyer, Olivia Dinyer and Noah Pollard generated $100 to help GAMRU South Shore Search And Rescue protect their friends and family on the water. Gordon said the volunteers will continue to train on the water several times a week for the balance of the season. While open to new members, potential volunteers will be screened and introduced to the unit in September.

With just half of the 2017 boating season complete, the volunteers of GAMRU South Shore Search And Rescue have returned their versatile fast-response vessel to service, completed 11 rescue missions and countless hours of training while coping with record high water levels on Lake Ontario and gaining valuable donations from the community. Although handling fewer rescues than at the same point in the hectic 2016 season, the busy first-half of the 2017 season has put an emphasis on the marine rescue unit’s training and ability to adjust to changing conditions, according to Unit Leader Bob Gordon. “The high water levels

Volunteers and inquiries have been flowing into Habitat For Humanity’s new ReStore location in Grimsby - now customers can, too. The facility had a VIP opening Thursday and opened to the public the next day. Its hours of operation going forward will be: Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with donations accepted daily up to 4:30 p.m. Renovation of the 20,000 sq. ft facility

took nine months, said HFH’s chief operating officer, Keith Gowans. “We’re excited to be in the community and open for business,” said Gowans. “Along with our stores in Fonthill and St. Catharines, this store will generate proceeds to spil over into our building fund. Increasing our core building capacity was identified in our strategic plan which will lead us through 2022.”

A couple things about downtown Grimsby In the weeks immediately after the July 6 fire in Grimsby one could see the drop in traffic - vehicular and pedestrian - immediately. What has made this an issue is the regular customer flow has stayed away in droves for several weeks now. Yes, there may be some minor inconvenience with a partial block in Main Street, but don’t forget about your local merchants. They are worthy of your support. The fire was devastating enough. The last thing the community needs is to lose another half-dozen merchants due to a horrible circumstance. All you readers with kids in sports, or those who attend the art gallery or community events, please remember it is these downtown businesses who sponsor much of these activities and make this town go. M.W.

Old racetrack brings back memories It was an interesting kicker back home on Sunday to see the Steve Campbell Retirement Pace as part of the harness racing program at which legend John Campbell got in the sulky for the final time. That whole event went awesome - except where Junior’s trotter made a break in the first turn and finished last. Campbell quipped after the race that his first drive made a break and finished last just as his final drive did, “in the middle wasn’t too bad”. Yes, 10,000 race wins and in excess of $300 million in purses isn’t bad at all. But seeing Steve Campbell flashed me back to my one summer as a student when I was not training horses full time. I got a job after first year college in Clinton’s Rec and Parks department doing maintenance and general clean up. While doing that job, I still had my hand in with the race horses, which was a pretty simple combo since the track was adjacent to the arena and part of the rec and park job. The reason seeing Soupy Campbell gave me a flashback is he was the only person in town who saw me get dragged over the hubrail by the craziest yearling I ever saw, a filly by the name of Linlor Lois. Her family had blind speed, but complete idiots otherwise. She had an older full brother, Linlor LeBelle, who was certifiable. Funny thing about him was he was just like an old dog in the barn. You could walk right up to him and he would just rest his massive noggin on your shoulder and you could pet him all day. A super nice, calm, friendly, perfectly conformed piece of work.

MIKE WILLISCRAFT He had a morning ritual after feeding and all that. When it was time to go to work, I would get him out of the stall. A little dance would start. The harness would go on his back. He would break out in a little sweat. Bridal on. Lines attached to the bit. Foam appeared to go with the sweat. By the time I had the jogging cart on sweat was pouring off him and as soon as he could hear the clips holding his halter in place clank off the adjacent stall, he was gone. Near immediate full speed from a standing start, so you had to be ready, in the bike, strong grasp of the lines from the get go, or you got left behind. Yep, that happened a couple of times (no worries, the yard was gated, so he could not get far without a human being dragged behind him. Which leads me back to his sister Lois. The owner I worked for was not really interested in two-year-old racing. He also said two was too young to be racing if you wanted a race horse. As a result, we usually broke our yearlings to harness and bike in MayJune. So good old Lois was a special one. She was built like a tank. Stocky, powerful and, again, a complete idiot, but I’ll get to that.

When we first tried to break her, we had her in the paddock as we did with all the others. After some considerable fighting, we finally got a simple harness on her back and cinched up. She promptly sulked, lay down, and would not get up. Off came the harness (eventually) and back to the barn she went. It is a rule of thumb to NOT let a horse win such a battle, as they then know they can “win”. That they don’t forget. Lois did not forget. She fought everything. After several days, we finally got her “comfortable” with having the harness on and after a few more days of line driving her around the yard we finally got her down to the racetrack. The plan was to jog her beside the owner’s pickup truck for several miles to tire her out before we tried to get a jogging cart on her. Well, we got about 200 yards around the track and we could hear a big squeal, a heavy lurch of the truck, and then silence as George, the owner, stopped the vehicle. Sticking my head out the passenger window and looking back - there was Lois, about 150 feet of skid marks where she planted all four hooves in attempt to not have to move another inch, and the box of George’s prized Chevy pickup. We had the lead-shank worked through some chain (so it would not cut on the metal of the truck’s box). The good news was the lead-shank did not cut, the bad news was Lois destroyed George’s truck. As all this was playing out, over by the grandstand was Soupy Campbell, laughing his butt off. It had to be quite the scene! Good luck in your retirement, Steve.
