Grimsby needed stop for GO, but Stoney Creek first stop By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Proponents of bringing a permanent GO rail connection to Niagara have their eyes fixed to the west. “There are a lot of moving parts to this thing but the whole key is to get it moving east-west,” says Grimsby Mayor Bob Bentley. “Once they have made that turn (to Stoney Creek), they
will be committed.” Bentley was please to see some firm estimates of cost for the proposed Stoney Creek extention at Centennial Parkway come out this week. It is the first time firm numbers have been circulated. Estimates for Grimsby’s stop on the rail line have been speculative at this point. Hamilton’s transit director has said
the cost to get the line to Stoney Creek would be $150 million, including a $35 million station. This past Friday, Niagara’s stakeholders – mayors, CAOs, economic development officers and the regional chair all met to review the current status of the region’s efforts to generate some movement on the GO file.

From Page 1 “We meet to update the business case we are presenting to the provincial government,” said Bentley. “We have very good feedback both from the premier’s office and Steven Del Duca, the Minister of Transportation.” As to the moving parts Bentley spoke of, the government and Metrolinx, which operates the GO system, are two key ones. “The province wants this to happen. Metrolinx doesn’t re-
ally want it to,” said Bentley. “They think they have enough on their plate and they don’t have the money. The premier has the money and has requested that direction.” Bentley sees the subtle signs of movement as key to long-term success of getting the Niagara line going sooner than later. He points to the construction of the rail infrastructure at Centennial Parkway, the acquisition of a 1.5 acre lot there for a likely station and the acquisition of another parcel of land
on Grimsby’s South Service Road as key planks in a Niagara GO foundation. Also as part of the information related to the province has been things that do not need to happen, such as Metrolinx contention that a canal crossing would be a major stumbling block and cost about $175 million on its own. “That is not the case at all. Coordinating trains has proven we would not need to go over or under the canal,” said Bentley. “We have a letter from the St. Law-
rence Seaway group saying it is a non-issue.” In the short term, Bentley and Team Niagara are hoping to get a ramped up schedule for the Pam Am Games in July. The group is hoping to get a meeting with Premier Kathleen Wynne scheduled before midMarch. He said there may also be some federal interest in seeing a Niagara rail connection with a high-speed rail line currently being constructed on the U.S. side of the border.

Blessed Trinity student captures International Bowl title in Texas It’s all about football for Grimsby’s Cole Burniston – and that is no exaggeration. Fresh off a 34-17 win of the International Bowl in Arlington Texas, Burniston shows no signs of slowing the pace. At age 15, he was already earned a coveted Most Valuable Player award. “It was amazing going down to Texas – football is huge there,” said Burniston. The opportunity to play at AT&T Stadium where the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys play was a bonus. Burniston’s team was comprised of some of the top players from across the country and was one of several Canadian and American teams vying for the title; best of six wins the bowl. “We played one scrimage to get a feel for how to play against the opponents and won 51-0 so it was a lot less stressful going into the game,” said the 6’2”, 210 pound running back.

Are you ready to “think outside the bank?” Calling all first-time homebuyers!! The RSP Home Buyers Plan is a fantastic program that enables a first-time homebuyer to withdraw up to $25,000 from an RSP, tax-free, for the purchase of your first home. If your spouse is also a first-time home buyer, then you can each withdraw up to $25,000. The funds can be used for downpayment, closing costs, or for any other purpose - such as paying off student loan debt, or to buy appliances and furniture for the new home. If you are planning to purchase your first home this summer, or later this year, then we need to look at topping-up your RSP now so that you can realize the maximum benefit that this Plan can provide you. There is a strategy to this, and the timing is critical. The deadline for 2014 RSP contributions is Monday, March 2nd. Don’t have the funds now to contribute to an RSP? You may qualify for an RSP loan.
Cole Burniston in Texas with Marie Jackson of the Spears. The Grade 10 student plays football on Blessed Trinity Secondary School’s junior team and junior varsity with Niagara Spears. He spends his days working out, doing sprints to build speed and is in a training camp. He is hoping a football scholarship is in his future that will help him get to university – and more football.
Let me show you how to use a short-term RSP loan as part of the RSP Home Buyers Plan. If the loan is not set up correctly, you could unknowingly jeopardize your mortgage qualification later on. Proper planning now will guarantee you more dollars for the purchase of your first home! Talk to us. You will be impressed!

Team Ontario earns Canadian Jr. silver Two Grimsby sisters, Beamsville native part of Ontario rink The Canadian Junior Curling championships, held in Corner Brook, N.L., Jan. 31 meant a lot of firsts for members of Team Ontario. Skipped by Beamsville native Chelsea Brandwood, and having two Grimsby sisters – Claire and Danielle Greenlees – as part of the team in addition to Brenda Holloway of Mississauga, Team Ontario powered by the 2013 champ from B.C. 9-4 to earn a spot in the final versus the defending champ from Alberta. It was the first time the girls had curled on television. It was the first time they had gone that far – all calling it a career highlight. “The overall experience is something I will never forget and something that I hope to go back to one day,” said Brandwood, who attends Laurier University for general arts. The final got off to a rocky start when a sensor on Danielle’s stone proved faulty, but none of the judges took notice. “My first rock was pulled in both the fourth and fifth end, as it was flashing red, signalling that it was a hog-line violation. My team and I knew that I did not go over the line, therefore we knew that the rock was malfunctioning,” said Danielle, a Grimsby Secondary School student. “After the fifth end break they replaced the handle due to low battery, and I had no further trouble with my rocks. “ That aside, the team agreed the Alberta champ was a formidable opponent. “It may have changed the game a bit but not too significantly,” said Brandwood. Armed with experience, the girls are hoping to get another shot at gold. “It was the best experience of my life. I think after losing the final it just made us more motivated to try and get back to the Canadian Juniors next year,” said Claire, a University of Western Ontario medical sciences student.

“Gateway feature” approved at planning committee level onto Alyssa Drive – results in a change to the proposed site plan. “The revised plan is an improvement over the earlier proposals because the drive-thru is further removed from the adjacent residential uses and the landscaped buffers adjacent to those residential uses have increased,” states the staff report considered by committee members. Also recommended, a noise wall be constructed adjacent to the drive-thru lane and that acoustical screening be provided for rooftop air conditioning vents. There was also a series of other recommendations which Town staff have outlined as required both for the gateway feature aspect

as well at the site plan for the lot. “The new proposal put forward by the developer takes into account the issues identified within the OMB decision. This is critically important, as we do not want to approve anything that has no chance of succeeding at the OMB,” said Foster. “In addition, the gateway feature in Beamsville that has been identified by the developer has always been part of/considered within the Official Plan.” “I like the latest proposal being discussed by the applicants and I think it has the potential to be an excellent solution to allow Tim Hortons to keep a more central/downtown location.”

Town of Lincoln’s Economic Development and Planning Committee approved acceptance of land at John and Ontario streets for a “gateway feature”. “Committee passed it, albeit not unanimously, and it will likely be the topic of conversation at our next council meeting,” said committee chair Coun. Rob Foster. This proposal would see a two-metre wide piece of land at the intersection maintained by the developer at no cost to the municipality. An initial proposal for a Tim Hortons store at that spot was shot down by the Ontario Municipal Board. This new adjustment of frontage for the lot at that intersection – from Ontario

Exploring connection between heart and love Naturally, as time passed and more was learned about human anatomy, it became obvious that the brain was the seat of all emotion and thought processes. However, as the brain was something intangible in a living body in ancient times, and the beating heart could be much more readily monitored - with a pulse rate speeding up when a person is excited or aroused - it’s easy to see how the link between the heart and love has endured.
Hearts and Valentine’s Day are forever intertwined. One of the most recognizable symbols of love is the modest heart, and hearts adorn candy boxes and cookies while paper hearts are pinned to doors or windows as a symbol of Valentine’s Day. A symbolic heart bears no resemblance to an anatomical heart, and yet it is used to represent the deepest feelings of affection a person can share. In ancient times, people believed that the heart was the centre of all human emotions. Since the heart is prominently located in the centre of the chest and the middle of the body, it became the cornerstone of human feelings. Love is considered to be one of the most profound and strongest human emotions, therefore it was reasoned that the feeling must emanate from the heart. Surprisingly, the heart has not always been the only organ associated with love. During the Middle Ages, the heart was deemed a useless organ. Followers of the Greek physician Galen theorized that the liver actually was the seat of the soul and love. The first depictions of a symbolic heart date back to the 11th century, when the heart was drawn to resemble a pinecone held upside down with the point facing upward. The scalloped heart that is more familiar today first arose in the early 14th century.

The product range includes classic soap and paper towel dispensers, as well as hightech monitoring systems for the improvement of hand hygiene behaviour in clinics and hospitals. The Beamsville company is a finalist for the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce’s 2015 Business of the Year Award in the large –over 31 employees – company category. “Customers require qual-
ity products geared to their needs,” says Jocelyne Guinard, Ophardt human resources manager. “We had to be quick to respond with a quality product.” She added the company is very honoured with the nomination. It has seen substantial growth and takes pride in hiring local people to add to its growing team. A recent job fair was needed to meet that need which included hiring more automation engineers and technicians. Ophardt has purchased the building next to its Christie Drive location in order to expand further. The most recent innovation is the Ophardt Hygiene Monitoring System®, a com-
plete hardware and software solution. The integrated counter registers the number of times the operating lever is pressed, the software analyses and archives the data collected, enabling anomalies to be precisely identified and improvements (for instance training courses) to be put in place promptly. The renowned Frost & Sullivan market research institute presented the system with the 2011 Best Practices Award. Since 2012, the Ophardt Hygiene Monitoring System® is successfully implemented in leading German and Swiss hospitals in Intensive Care, Intermediate Care and Normal Care Units.

Troy Fire Safety : protecting people, property When Glen Zimmerman enters a building, he looks up. Always. He is looking to see if the building he is in has a sprinkler system. “We are very passionate about what we do,” said Zimmerman. He has been working at Troy Life & Fire Safety Ltd. for 20 years, since he was 18 years old. And he still thinks it is a phenomenal place to work. Troy opened its doors in 1979 and is a private Canadian corporation with more than 600 employees coast to coast. The company offers a comprehensive line of fire alarms, fire suppression, emergency lighting, fire safety plans, security and nurse-call services. Trained technicians and sprinkler fitters are available 24/7, says Zimmerman. Although the company was sold to GE a number of years ago, it has since been bought
back by a group of employees. For seven years now it has been employee-owned. “We have built it into a onestop fire safety company,” said
Zimmerman, who is the regional sprinkler manager. The company also branched out into marine fire safety after purchasing a company called Nautical Marine Fire Services. Now they are installing their fire safety systems onboard lakers. From residential group homes to heavy manufacturing, Troy Fire serves a number of local customers including Niagara College, Pen Centre, Fairview and Seaway malls, Community Living, Niagara Regional housing and Region of Niagara. The field is growing and changing. By 2019, it will be mandatory for long-term care homes to have sprinkler systems and by 2025, all government-run homes will also have to have the fire suppression Robin Begy, an employee at Troy Life & Fire Safety, preparing pipe for a job.
systems in place. “Many employees are longterm, some spending their entire careers with Troy,” said Zimmerman. Family members are encouraged to join the team and grow their careers through initiatives such as apprenticeship training to earn a skilled trade. Sprinkler fitter is now a certified trade. Zimmerman’s brothers, father and wife all work at Troy. “My dad, Glen, has been here since the 1970s.” “It is a real honour to be nominated for a business award when you think of all the businesses in the area,” said Zimmerman. “It give you a sense of pride; that what we are doing as a business is a good thing.” One business will be named winner from each of the three categories at the Chamber’s annual gala, Wednesday, March 25 at Inn On The Twenty Restaurant’s Windows Banquet Room.

By Katherine Grant NewsNow Celebrations marking 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States have come to a close but Grimsby residents can be proud of their contribution to the historic milestone. Residents, businesses and the town stepped up with time, energy and funds to create lasting projects, some of which went on to win awards for innovation. “There is a real legacy in Grimsby that came from the War of 1812 celebrations,” said Brian Purdy, co-chair together with Bruce Atkinson, of Grimsby’s 1812 Bicentennial Committee. Grimsby residents, said Purdy, can lay claim and bragging rights to having Canada’s first Peace Garden. The garden is located at the foot of Elizabeth
Street, next to the historic pump house. “We were very fortunate,” said Purdy. “We had the property and we had the budget.” With the support of the town, the 5,000 square-foot garden, at a cost of $15,000, was planted in 2012. “The Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, David Onley, came for the official ribbon-cutting in June 2012. It was pretty exciting for Grimsby to have him here,” noted Purdy. When Paul Phelps was looking for a way to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Phelp’s Homes, Purdy suggested a gazebo would showcase the garden. Phelp’s Homes created a custom-design based on the shape of Fort George in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and soon an award-winning structure took shape and was donated to

the town. A cannon ball found by Phelps’ grandfather was incorporated into the design. Legend has it the American cannon ball was among items left behind when the Americans retreated 200 years ago. It serves as a reminder that The Forty was not always peaceful. In 2012, Phelp’s Homes was presented with the Niagara Homebuilders’ Association Award of Excellence for Most Innovative outdoor space. The Grimsby Firefighters Association donated $2,200 for a flag pole and plaque and Tom Wills of Wills Chevrolet and John Dunstall at the Fifth Wheel donated two park benches, said Purdy. “It was that kind of enthusiasm from people and businesses in town that made the

project a success,” Purdy added. In June 2013, a reenactment of the Engagement at the Forty brought the conflict to life for local residents who were invited to watch. The skirmish, which took place on the 200th anniversary on the exact spot, was recorded and an award-winning video was produced by Purdy’s Mediaimage production company. About 3,000 came out to watch that day. “The volunteer committee did a tremendous job in gathering information around this significant event and then the actual re-enactment was fantastic,” said Mayor Bob Bentley. “The reproduction of this event was a terrific history lesson for all who attended or read about the events and then to win accolades and awards for the re-enactment video production has given significant positive global recognition to our community and our place in history.” Next Tuesday, Feb. 17 in Niagara-on-theLake, a re-enactment will take place to mark the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent, signed Christmas Eve in 1814. It came into effect Feb. 17, 1815, marking the end of the war. This is the final event celebrating 200 years of peace.

Craft guild makes cash from scraps Only the busiest of hands can be found knitting, sewing and crafting away at the Grimsby Seniors Centre each week. Using donated yarn and fabric, the Grimsby Craft Guild has used its collective skills to create items to sell to raise money for local charities for more than a quarter century. This past week the guild presented a cheque for $325 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Grimsby Lincoln and West Lincoln. “Big Brothers and Big Sisters brings happiness and hope to so many boys and girls,” said Carol Della Valle, guild co-ordinator,
adding it is one of 10 charities sponsored by the guild through the sale of its handiwork. For 26 years the guild has relied on the kind generosity of the people of Grimsby who support their many projects, said Della Valle. Fabric, yarn and thread is needed year round and can be dropped off at the Grimsby Senior Centre, 18 Livingston Ave., daily between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The guild also has a display of items such as mittens, slippers, hats and scarves for sale at the seniors centre.

BBBS bouncing back nicely It has taken a while, but it is great to see Big Brothers Big Sisters bounce back strongly for Niagara West. Extremely difficult times befell the organization when the hugely important Bowl For Kids Sake was jeopardized with the closure of Grimsby’s bowling alley. Serious dedication by staff and its board, as well as an excellent community rally now has things going the right direction. The Feb. 28 bowling event is 80 per cent sold out already with only 11 spots left (call 905-945-9353 to register). Great news! M.W.
GO inching towards Grimsby When anyone speaks about a project on the scale of a permanent GO train extension into Niagara – except the provincial government, perhaps – it is important to remember that they provide comment on only one of the puzzle pieces. Any one of the many pieces of that important project does not really mean much on its own. It is a classic example of power in numbers and a group of entities needing to be on the same page and speak with one voice. The whole train service connection has been around for a long time, but such a major undertaking is all about political will. Of course it makes sense. It makes just as much sense today as it did 10 years ago (and more), but timing and political will are the two factors which will determine when this gets done, and it will, it is just a matter of when. In speaking with Grimsby Mayor Bob Bentley this week when details of cost projections to get the GO system connected into Stoney Creek came out – total estimate $150 million – he noted the key to the whole enchilada is that first crucial step to Stoney Creek. Why you ask, good reader? Here’s why. That extension would be the first move in an easterly direction looping under Lake Ontario. Until that point there would be no physical or financial investment in developing the line into Niagara: no wasted
MIKE WILLISCRAFT investment if you will. By wasted I mean it would make no sense to take that step and cease plans or intentions to carry it through right to the Canada-U.S. border. In my mind, it is not unlike the road to nowhere, aka the Bartlett Road escarpment crossing that never was. To me, it makes no sense to have all that infrastructure and four-lane QEW access without pushing it through as originally intentioned as a crossing, but that’s just me. The point there is, silly things can happen. One could never assume just because Stoney Creek happens that the extension into Niagara WILL happen. However, the rest of Niagara cannot happen without Stoney Creek coming first. Positive signs? Oh yes, they are there. Any QEW motorists will have noticed the extensive work done at Centennial Parkway over the last couple of years. That new rail bridge spanning the QE has the extra line capacity to accommodate GO: a huge piece of the
infrastructure pie. GO acquired a 1.5 acre parcel of land near that rail bridge. Similarly, the Ministry of Transportation (as noted in this space many months ago) acquired the parcel of land on Grimsby’s South Service Road between the Real Canadian Superstore and Sunrise Spa....another important piece of infrastructure for the Grimsby station. When I note the host of partners involved in this project it is important to note it is virtually everyone in Niagara who is connected to this. It would be awesome. Picture it. This Monday is family day. How much fun would it be to plan a day in the city, tripping to museums, grab a street sausage, catch a play and take the train back to the Casablanca station with no traffic hassle and no crazy downtown parking fees. In the summer, hop on the train: bingo! Right to SkyDome, er, Rogers Centre for a Jays game. Commuters to the city... do I need to say any more? Of course, GTA folk will be able to get out this way with equal ease. We’ll be able to lead the “horses” to water, but what the heck do we do with them when they get here? That, my friends, while it will be connected to this whole process – local inter-municipal transit connections – is fodder for a whole other column. Let’s just watch for the east-west direction at Stoney Creek first.

North Islands lost after only 10 years By Skip Gillham For NewsNow The deep sea bulk carrier North Islands was built at Middlesborough, England, and launched Oct. 15, 1986. It was completed on Feb. 12, 1987, and was one of the last ships of the SD-14 design to enter service. The 141-metre-long vessel was owned by the Cuban Government but registered in Cyprus for the North Island Shipping Co. Ltd. It came to the Great Lakes in May 1994 heading

Shipwreck to Thunder Bay in ballast to take on a cargo of peas. These were consigned to Cuba and the ship left for the sea in June. North Islands loaded its last cargo of fertilizer and was bound for Penco, Chile, when it lost its propeller and went aground off Llolleo, Chile, on Sept. 7, 1997. The 10-year-old freighter came ashore and eventually broke in two.
