Merry Christmas thanks to good samaritan By Mike Williscraft NewsNow It will be a Merry Christmas for Beamsville’s Gee Family after the quick action and decisive care of a good samaritan and local veterinarian. Jamie Gee said his family’s dog was struck on William Street in Beamsville around 5:30 p.m. late last month. “Many drove by choosing not to get involved, however, one good man stopped and was able to wrap up Cash in something to keep him warm before taking him to the nearest vet,” said Gee. “Cash was described as being in very bad shape. His eyes were rolled back in his head and he had hypothermia.”
While this was unknowingly going on, Gee was scouring the neighbourhood for their family pet. “I looked for Cash some five hours and was in the process of blanketing Beamsville with posters asking for the whereabouts of the dog when my wife posted a message on social media asking for assistance,” Gee said. “Within one minute, literally, she got a response from a local social media group explaining that Robin Farnham of Temple of The Dog had posted a picture of a dog that fit the description of Cash.” With that connection made, the Gees knew in short order that Cash See CASH, Page 2
WL out, Grimsby defers, Lincoln awaits reports It is a Merry Christmas in the Beamsville household of the Gee Family after a good samaritan rescued their seriously injured dog by transporting him to veterinarian Dr. Hugh Stevenson for care. Nobody is happier than Cash’s boys, Maxx, 3, and Logan, 8.
By Mike Williscraft NewsNow While Niagara West municipalities take different routes to answer the “opt in - opt out” question on retail cannabis, one thing is consistent local officials say - they have little information
on which to base their decisions. Monday night at West Lincoln council, cannabis got a thumbs down. Coun. Trombetta cited safety and the lack of police officers as the reason See RETAIL, Page 5

From Page 1 that Cash was in the care of Dr. Hugh Stevenson at Hillview Veterinary Clinic. A neighbour, who Jamie only knows as Brian, who lives on William Street was the hero of the hour and the Gee Family greatly appreciates his efforts. “We have had Cash since he was a puppy. He is the proud big brother of Maxx, age
three, and Logan, age 8,” said Jamie. “We are extremely grateful to Brian, who took the time to save our dog’s life. By taking his time to care for an animal really saved our family from heartbreak during this Christmas season.” As well, Jamie thanks Dr. Stevenson and Robin Farnham for playing their parts in their Christmas saga with a happy ending.

From Page 1 for his vote for the motion, which passed 6-1. “We don’t have a sustainable police presence to help protect us on this,” Trombetta said. “Opting out of this would be beneficial for our community.” In Grimsby, Coun. Randy Vaine, who said he was prepared to vote “opt out” until he read up on this issue, has changed his mind...at this point. “We need to think beyond four years, beyond the term of council,” said Vaine. “People can still grow it. We would have all the same problem (as optin communities) without the financial support to
pay for the transition.” The provincial governement has said a fund, similar to the tire tax pool, will be set up with proceeds being distributed to opt-in communities. Grimsby will have a public meeting Jan. 15, will start a survey and conduct phone surveys to obtain public input. Mayor Sandra Easton said two staff reports are expected shortly - one dealing with shops and the other, grow-ops. “In January staff are bringing two reports forward to Council. One proposes an interim control by-law as well as a recommendation on opting in/out of cannabis retail,” said Lincoln CAO Mike Kirkopoulos.

Non-emergency holiday suggestions:LHIN The winter season brings a higher demand for health services and with holiday closures between Christmas and New Year’s, there can be longer than usual waits for people who don’t need immediate emergency care. Knowing where to go for non-emergency health care is vital for many individuals and families at this time of year. By taking steps to stay healthy and by being prepared, people can have a more positive experience if they need care over the holidays. Simple things like getting a free flu shot, fill-
ing all your prescriptions before the holidays, and washing your hands well and often can help you stay healthy. If you have non-emergency medical needs during the holiday season, HNHBhealthline.ca is a free online resource featuring up-to-date information on available services that are open in communities across Hamilton, Niagara, Haldimand, Norfolk, Burlington and Brant. This one stop shop for information online can help people find medical resources available during statutory holidays
so they won’t have to visit a hospital emergency department “With the holiday season approaching, we know hospital volumes can go up by as much as 15 per cent. Hospitals managing an influx of patients with non-emergency health care needs, can lead to overcrowding and longer wait times. We encourage members of the public to access HNHBhealthline.ca when they are looking for non-emergency medical services over the holidays, Donna Cripps, CEO. Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant LHIN.

Venue change worked great for Miracle on King Wood smoke wafting, sleigh bells ringing, festive live music carrying the crowd - a feeling of Christmas was in the air Saturday for the 14th annual Miracle on King Street. The community celebration was held for the first time at Providence Church, a short distance along King St. from the original downtown Beamsville location. The move was providential it seems - organizers said attendance was way up this year with an estimated 30 per cent increase by the morning’s count. “We moved the event for safety and more room to grow,” said Scott Holmes, Extreme Technology, who launched the first Miracle on King Street 14 years ago and has sponsored the fundraising event every year since. All proceeds go to support Community Care of West Niagara. (Below) Members of the Beamsville District Secondary School jazz band entertained the crowd. Among them: Back (L to R) Sage Lunshof, Josh Reid, Carly Judson. Front: Cole Kopiak, Josh Cushnie, Matt Cartlidge, Izzy Saranchuk, Elijah Wilts and Jamieson Leavers.

O Night Divine May the warm light of our Savior’s love illuminate your path at the holidays and all year.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
From the first Hello... In 1967, as part of Canada’s centennial celebrations, the Winona Men’s Club organized the formation of a male chorus. The group proved to be very popular and attracted many new members and an appreciative public following. In 1968, the chorus relocated to Grimsby, renamed itself to the ‘Grimsby Knights of Harmony’ and joined the international singing organization that today is known as the Barbershop Harmony Society, which boasts a current membership of nearly 30,000 a cappella singers. In 2010, to reflect the diverse regional makeup of its mem-
bership, the chorus was renamed to ‘Niagara Gateway Harmony’ (NGH) and continued to spread the gift of harmony and goodwill with spring shows, strawberry socials (‘Berries ‘n Harmony by the Lake’) and an annual Christmas Community Benefit concert (‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’) in December. Over the years, many people of the area have also been delighted to receive a ‘Singing Valentine’ performed by quartets that included members from the chorus. Or perhaps others may fondly remember the group spreading Christmas cheer at the annual WLMH carol sing, or as roaming singer patrols during downtown Grimsby ‘Midnight Madness’ days from years

past. Or even their more recent contest-winning rendition of David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ at the Smithville Poultryfest. Over the last 5 decades, singers from Lincoln, West Lincoln, Stoney Creek, Hamilton and Grimsby would come together one night each week to prepare songs for performance, develop their vocal craft, and strengthen the team camaraderie so vital to sustaining a healthy chorus and delivering great performances. This fall, times finally caught up to the NGH, as membership dwindled to the point that the organization has been forced to discontinue. The chorus now simply wishes to express its profound gratitude for all the support and encouragement given by so many supporters over the years. NGH members also feel humbled by all the talent and time generously donated by other local
artists in making so many of their shows entertaining and well-attended. As local art communities contribute so much to what actually defines ‘community’, the NGH singers feel particularly proud and honoured to have been part of these ‘definitions’ for so many years. As barbershop singers like to say, ‘Keep the whole world singing’. To the Last Goodbye … In a closing celebration of its 50-plus-year history, and to give all its retired members who still live in the area a chance to sing one more tag (or two), the NGH chorus is planning one final gettogether at the Elizabeth Street Pumphouse (site of our popular ‘Berries ‘n Harmony by the Lake’ event) on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019, from 1-4 pm. For more details regarding this event, please see the NGH website: ngharmony.ca

Bringing Tuscany to Main Street The recipe for business success - Keep It Simple certainly applies to Casa Toscana. The Grimsby eatery prides itself on exemplifying the best in Tuscan cuisine which, in turn, prides itself on a simple plan... being delicious. “Tuscan food is simple, but very flavourful,” says Casa Toscana owner Luca Vitali. “It is based on five ingredients: garlic, tomatoes, olive oil, herbs and passion.” With all dishes made from scratch on site daily, Luca says their goal is to provide a 100 per cent authentic meal such as one would have in Florence. “We import all our ingredients right down to the semolina flour, which comes from the Altamura, in the Province of Bari. It is a wheat varietal you can only get there,” notes Luca. “We use that to make our pasta fresh every day.” Running a family business is nothing new to Luca. His family in Italy run two farm businesses, which is the point of origin for his imported olive oils. His
items,” notes Luca. “We are not about garlic bread or spaghetti and meatballs. We try to educate people about what it is like to enjoy a truly Tuscan meal. We showcase the very best in Tuscan cuisine.” In January, there will also be an opportunity for area residents to learn the secrets of Tuscan cooking as Luca and his team will offer a series of five cooking classes. The classes will be on Tuesday afternoons starting Jan. 15 at a cost of $125 per person per class. “Each person will learn how to cook a full meal in each class,” says Luca, adding capacity is limited, so call right away to avoid disappointment. “It’ll be like a trip to Italy, without the long flight.”

Former MPP wades in on WLMH By Tim Hudak For NewsNow Aside from being a father and a husband, being an MPP for 21 years has been the most rewarding experience of my life. Not because it was easy or because I won more battles than I lost. It was rewarding because of the hard work behind the scenes; the many meetings, conversations, letters and well targeted pressure to bring about change; and the perseverance of my staff and my constituents to get the job done. This is why I am so impressed with the communities of West Niagara and MPP Sam Oosterhoff for their perseverance and hard work to keep West Lincoln Memorial Hospital open and in getting a clear commitment from Premier Doug Ford for a new hospital. Here’s how the deal got done. After the provincial government promised to build a new hospital, this community rallied to raise $14 million and kept its promise to help with funding. Subsequent governments, sadly, didn’t keep theirs and called off the new build, leaving the future of WLMH in question for a decade. MPP Sam Oosterhoff rightly made a rebuilt WLMH his top issue. He asked his very first question in Question Period on the topic as a rookie MPP. My friends in the PC Caucus tell me that Sam brought up the importance of the hospital regularly in their planning meetings. Once on the Government side of the Legislature, Sam continued his efforts including organizing a tour of
Guest Column the hospital by Premier Ford himself to show him the need for a rebuild and to experience the desire of the community for a new hospital first hand. That was a smart move: when the Premier and Cabinet Ministers are prioritizing capital projects, if they can see a project in their mind’s eye, it has a much better shot of moving up the list. Merely days before the Premier’s planned tour, Hamilton Health Sciences dropped a bomb on the staff telling them that obstetrics and surgery would be leaving the hospital. As a CEO myself and a former public figure, the basics dictate that you do not convey that kind of news without fully briefing the major players involved and exhausting all available options. It really doesn’t matter if it was an official announcement or not, in a small town it achieves the same purpose: the impact was devastating, the elected officials felt blindsided and the timing was terrible. Salvaging that trust must be the first order of business in the community and for HHS in its dealings with the Province. As it has done before, the community rallied, held a massive and justifiably emotional meeting and signed petitions. The streets were soon lined with signs of support for the hospital. Sam gave the Premier and Health Minister a daily briefing as they took their desks close by in Question Period. He delivered petitions
containing 18,000-plus names in record time. He lobbied other Cabinet Ministers. That’s good work. But Sam’s political gut made the difference. Despite the objections of some of the Premier’s staff who were trying to keep a busy boss on schedule, Sam personally convinced the Premier to come to Grimsby and talk with community members, including local mayors and hospital board members, about the importance of WLMH. Crucially, they popped in to the Tim Horton’s on Main Street in Grimsby where the Premier heard from the “average, hard working folks” who drive his decision making. The Premier thrives on personal, direct contact. It was that face to face moment hearing the passion in the people’s voices that sealed the deal. Then the money flowed: $8.5 million $500,000 for capital design and $8 million for long-overdue facility upgrades - was committed for the hospital renovation and to start the rebuild. What began as a bad communications call by HHS turned full circle due to a devoted community, a dedicated and talented hospital staff, an MPP who had earned many chips to cash and a Premier who is not afraid to make a call when his instincts tell him it is right. It’s rather fitting that a few months after the candlelight vigil in 1997 to keep the hospital open, Sam Oosterhof was born at WLMH. Twenty one long years later, he has delivered real funding to secure a new hospital.

The program will start in May 2019 and will include a stop in Niagara, said Carl Kovacs, president of the Fergie Jenkins Foundation.
Montreal may be an interesting stop as the interests there seek to highlight the 50th anniversary of the Expos some time in July. “The launch will be in Chatham, Fergie’s hometown,” said Kovacs. “It’ll go right to the East Coast, with different age groups each time.” For more information, check: www.fergiejenkins.ca

Lena Barretto
Passed away quietly on December 11th, 2018 at the age of 93. Lena was born October 23rd, 1925, one of seven children in Poona India. She moved to Canada in 1955 where she married Michael Barretto (2010) and raised her family of six children in Grimsby. Loving mother of Joyce (David), Frank (Janice), Jenny (Stuart), Janice (Basil), Peter (Rochelle) and Linda (Tony). Devoted grandmother of Adam, Jennifer, Matthew, (Darlene), Meaghan, Michael, Jessie, Kate, William, Meghan (Brenden), Jason, Lena, Joseph, Patrick, Timothy, Jacob, and Lucas. Lena is survived by her sister Rose and her brother Bob (Marina). Lena was led by her faith, an unwavering commitment to her family, a passion for teaching and the firm understanding she could make a difference in her community. A teacher with the Lincoln County Catholic School Board, Lena spent many years teaching the most vulnerable children, seeing the face of Christ in every one of them. In founding the Grimsby Crafts Guild, over 25 years ago, she brought together members of the community in fellowship to pool their creative talents to support children both locally and globally. She turned her private battle with the Parkinson disease into several national fundraising and awareness campaigns for Parkinson Canada.

In Memory of a Dear Grandmother
There’s a new star in the heavens It’s shining oh so bright. That new star is our Sherri Shining down on us each night. God took her from us far too soon No chance to say good-bye His plans are greater than our dreams We shouldn’t question why. Special times like Christmas Increase the ache within our hearts Through tears we see our memories With which we’ll never part. We’ll miss her smile and laughter As friends and family gather this year But though her place is vacant We’ll know that she is near. A star that burned so brightly Can never ever be dimmed We’ll see that smile again some day In her heavenly home with Him.

Time for the learning begins There is not a person in Grimsby who does not expect the mainly brand, shiny and new council to have some growing pains, and that was on display Monday night. The first full council meeting had some major substance and a busy agenda, so not an easy start, but matters were not helped by some tangents which pushed the gathering to the three-hour mark. On the plus side, there was more levity in the room overall than has been seen in the last eight years, and all of these keeners will learn the ropes. The first lesson for them, and it is hoped the CAO laid this out in closed session, matters of process and administration are not normal topics for a council meeting. Different if there is an issue. Matters of basic process, though, should be brought directly to the clerk or CAO so they can research and provide quality answers. Everybody has the same goal, so but all need to be headed in a similar direction to achieve those goals. That does not mean don’t ask questions; not at all. There is a time and place, however, M.W.
Sorry Mr. Moore, here we go again... (Editor’s Note: With annual apologies to Clement C. Moore.) ‘Twas the night before council and all through the MURS, Echoes still remain, “Paying for this will take 30 years?” The stockings were hung by the chimney in haste, In hopes we’d help St. Nick with the task that he faced. The children were nestled all snug in their rooms, While many in the neighbourhood discussed the ongoing fumes. Mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Spoke of disappointment, we’d sell our house in a snap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to find my lawns ornaments tattered. Away to the window I flew like a flash, The air was filled with something, holy cow, it’s cash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday so I could see all, though. When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a sleigh, a dazed driver and eight tiny reindeer. The little old driver was not really with it, He was heard to say, “Enough, I have to quit!” I knew in a moment it should have been St. Nick. Instead it was not, it was this silly brick. “More rapid than eagles, these reindeer did fly, But this sudden left turn, just to find a high?” “Now Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Snoop! On Comet! On Cupid! On Donner and Marley! “What were you thinking, when you smelled the growop?” “You’d crash through the
MIKE WILLISCRAFT roof and make some sort of swap?” To the top of the porch! And all down the street, These residents need help, better send a Tweet. As leaves that before the wild hurricane would reel, Down the road putted car, “Oh my, the Mirth Mobile”. It was the real Santa, he took over in a whir, He said, “Hand those reins over, away with you, kind sir,” So up to the housetop, his coursers did fly, We’d find out soon what was happening, the moment was nigh. And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof, Finally, he was here, this was no spoof. As I drew in my head and thought of calling the cops, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a plop. I had lots of questions, like what was the deal. What happened with the sleigh, who was this heel? A bundle of toys he flung on this back, But while he was busy, he was armed with wise cracks. His eyes, how they twinkled when he spoke of the theft, “The guy was a dealer, not exactly deft. And the reindeer, they’re weak, they get sidetracked by the odour, It’s tough, keeping them on course is really a chore.
His cheeks were like roses, he still smiled as he worked, When I asked about the Naughty List, his ears sure did perk. “The Naughty List here has never been longer, But let’s not dwell, you’ve turned the page, you will get stronger!” “That biodigester, OMG, council’s hands will be full, The public needs to know, they’ll cut through the bull.” “These newbies on council, they’ve lessons to learn, There are processes to follow and bridges shouldn’t be burned.” “West Lincoln, too, has a new course to chart, “But they’ll be ok, that community is all heart!” “Lincoln, they’re set, on the Good List they are, Communications and good planning are simply their par.” After filling the stocking, he turned with a jump, “You guys are alright, you don’t have that Trump!” And laying a finger aside of his nose, He was about to leave, but then he just froze. “Before I head north, I’ve just one thing to say, With the hearts of Niagara West the HHS should not play!” “If they push this OR closure, I cannot forgive, What’s with those guys? They should realize I know where they live.” He sprang to his sleigh, proclaiming a last vow, “You’re lucky you have great info, keep reading NewsNow!” ******* But seriously folks, this has been a year of borderline insurmountable obstacles, yet here we are...coming up on our sixth anniversary. We have our readers and advertisers to thank for that. And we appreciate every one! Merry Christmas to all!!

Prepare for weed shops: reader Dear Editor, Wow! Pot shops in downtown beautiful Grimsby. Get ready for a smelly Main Street. Councillors, you have until Jan. 22, 2019 to ban these shops in our town. It is interesting to note that there are six councillors who may vote against allowing marijuana shops in Hamilton. There are plenty of arguments for and against. I have a very close relative now age
Letter 28 who started in that vulnerable age period 16-25. He dropped out of university and his life has been in limbo ever since. Please note that 19-year-olds can legally buy this product. Brains are still being developed at that age. Regarding medical marijuana, sell it in drug stores under federal approval. John Begin Grimsby
Dogs prove good investment Dear Editor, February of last year my truck was stolen right out of my driveway on Main St. West and they tried again this morning (Sunday) at 4:25 a.m. Apparently, the police have said twice now thefts have become worse and are a steady occurrence lately. Lucky for us we have gotten
two new dogs who bark at noise and intruders. So just for a heads up if you hear dog(s) barking in the wee hours of the night you might want to have a look. Oh, and not one light went on in the homes nearby even though our alarm was going off! Kerry Hitch, Grimsby
