H5 avian flu quarantines Drost farm By Mike Williscraft NewsNow The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has quarantined the Mountain Road farm of Pete Drost after ducks on the property tested positive for H5 avian influenza. While the strain is highly contagious among birds, it rarely affects humans and does not pose a health risk when poultry and poultry products are properly handled and cooked, according to Niagara Region’s department of health. As a result of the outbreak, the 14,000 birds on the farm will be humanely destroyed and disposed of as per provincial regulations. An immediate effort has been implemented to trace birds and all products and equipment which has moved onto and off the farm. This roster will provide locations for future testing sites as control measures are assembled. The protocol is already in place for the public to be notified if any additional farms test positive. All area poultry farmers have been asked to report any suspicious symptoms on their properties. Health officials have stated the strain of virus detected poses no risk to the public health, including the handful of people who work on the Drost farm. It was the Drost farm which was considered one of the epicenters of Beamsville’s fly problem back in 2011-2012. Drost worked diligently with the Town of Lincoln and a host of government officials as testing and preventative measures brought the matter under control.

No hand no problem for Grimsby 12-year-old

Grimsby Mayor Bob Bentley presents Jamie Campbell, 12, of Grimsby with a certicate of recognition for his efforts to support the CHAMP Program and War Amps PLAYSAFE initiative.

By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Jamie Campbell is just like any 12-yearold boy. Jamie does not back down from a challenge, likes playing in the park and takes on a strong role as an advocate for The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. Wait, what’s that last one? Ah, yes, it is very easy to look right by the fact Jamie was born a left-hand amputee. He does. Monday afternoon the Grimsby boy was at Town Hall to receive recognition from Mayor Bob Bentley for his effort as an ambassador of the The War Amps PLAYSAFE message and the CHAMP program. Among the things Jamie does are hosting displays and participating in local parades. He educates children to spot the danger in their neighbourhoods, too. “He is very deserving,” said his father Michael.

Are you ready to “think outside the Bank”? When shopping for a Variable-Rate mortgage, pay attention to how you will be treated by your bank or credit union if, at some point during the term, you want to convert, or lock-in, that Variable-Rate mortgage to a Fixed-Rate term. It’s important to know in advance how you will be treated. Sometimes, the lender’s Variable-Rate mortgage contract will specify the discount you may be eligible for, or entitled to, when you convert to a fixed term, but if there is no mention of it, then it is left to the branch’s discretion.

Available: Shade Trees, Deciduous Shrubs, Perennials, Hostas, Evergreens, Dwarf Evergreens, Ground Covers Vines, Rhodos / Azaleas, Japanese Maples / Bamboo - Very Large Selection

- Are you prepared to negotiate with your branch at that time for a rate that is competitivecompared to what you see advertised elsewhere? - Do you understand the penalty calculation and other fees, should you decide to break your Variable-Rate mortgage to go elsewhere for a lower Fixed-Term rate than what your current institution is offering you?

Edibles: Quince Trees, Haskaps, Goji Berries, Black Berries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blue Berries

When you work with me, I will ensure that your mortgage is placed with a lender that provides a transparent conversion policy, so that there is no ambiguity nor discretionary pricing, working against you later on. COMPETITIVE PRICING

While they compete to sell cars, trucks and SUVs, Grimsby’s car dealers are united and focused on a major theme shop locally. Readers of NewsNow will have noticed the series of full page ads asking local residents to “Shop Locally” but the message behind that initiative is far greater than the simple message. “Nobody wants people to come

Grimsby car dealers speak with one voice for first time in more than 20 years just because we are here. What we want, and any business in town would want, is a chance to earn their business. Nothing more,” said Bob Clark, dealer principal at Grimsby Ford. What started as a germ of an idea with Clark, the notion immediately caught on with his colleagues. In late June, the dealers met for the first time in twoplus decades, along

with presidents of the Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln Chambers of Commerce to discuss how to heighten awareness of not just the need for the support of having residents shop locally, but more simply how to convey to residents new and long-term just what the local business community has to offer. “There are a lot of new people in the

area and we would certainly like them to know who we are and what we can do for them. But there are also a lot of people who were born and raised here who aren’t aware of what we have to offer,” said Chris MacKinnon, owner of Grimsby KIA. “It is a simple, positive message,” added Grimsby Chamber president Marion Thorp. “And the core message would be true for the car dealers just as much as a Main Street retailer, ‘check us out, you’ll like what you see’.”

Keep less fortunate in mind

Tuesday July 12, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BURN BAN REMAINS IN EFFECT ACROSS NIAGARA WEST Grimsby, Lincoln, West Lincoln, ON – The Fire Chiefs of Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln, remind all residents of Niagara West municipalities that the Fire Chiefs have issued a BAN ON OPEN-AIR FIRES that applies everywhere in Grimsby, Lincoln and West Lincoln; NO EXCEPTIONS. These bans include all backyard recreational fires, other open flame devices, and suspend all burning permits. These BANS will remain in place until further notice by the Fire Chiefs of each respective community, pending substantial changes in local conditions that will reduce the risk of spread of fire. BBQs using natural gas, propane, or BBQ charcoal ONLY are exempted from this ban and only if they are being directly used for cooking purposes AND supervised at all times. No other use is permitted and all fires must be lit immediately before and extinguished immediately after cooking is completed. No wood fuels are permitted. Residents are asked to be extra vigilant. Construction activity that requires the use of open flame devices (example roofing operations) are not yet subject to this ban, HOWEVER, operators must exercise extreme caution to avoid starting fires, as conditions are dry and fires can start more easily than normal or expected. Smoker’s materials should be fully extinguished in non-combustible containers, preferably in water. NEVER discard smoker’s material in gardens or mulch. Natural Resources Canada has forecasted much of Niagara Region as EXTREME Fire Danger. For more information follow: http://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/maps/fw. For specific information on open-air fire regulations within your municipality please reference the respective websites.

Dear Editor, Summer is finally here. The kids are now out of school and families can enjoy time together. Barbecue meals bring us together and we can all look forward to enjoying some relaxing time outdoors. At the Grimsby Benevolent Fund, our goal is to make sure that everyone in Grimsby has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of summer. The reality is that when kids are home from school, food demands increase and already-thin dollars must be stretched to include childcare costs. Our families struggle with increased food costs, energy costs and the stress of worrying about making ends meet. The food bank typically experiences a decrease in donations during the spring and summer months and this year is no exception. We are appealing to the community to make donating to the food bank part of your regular shopping routine. While it may not seem like a single box of cereal or jar or pasta sauce can make a difference,

Letter single donations added together can mean the difference between a family enjoying a meal together or having to decide between paying for groceries and paying the hydro bill. Donating doesn’t have to be a struggle. It’s a simple as picking up one item on sale whenever you shop and dropping it in the bin at your grocery store. When you donate your clothing and housewares at the GBF, bring along something for the food bank. When you shop for deals in our store, drop off a food donation in the bin at the front of the store. Consider asking friends and family members to bring a food item to donate the next time you get together for your summer barbecue. If we always keep our less fortunate friends and neighbours in mind, donating becomes easy and our community becomes stronger. One person really can make a difference.

If you happen to be looking for Elisa Vandersloot around Grimsby this week, she won’t be around. She will be rowing her heart out at the CanAmMex regatta in Sarasota, Fla. The Blessed Trinity graduate, coming off a very successful local season, will continue on her rowing path, which will ultimately lead to University of Tulsa in Oklahoma this fall where she earned a full scholarship. “I’ve always liked team sports and I like a challenge,” said Vandersloot, who started rowing in Grade 9. Her father, Adriaan agreed. “Rowing is a sport that more than most, requires 100% dedication, commitment and a true love of the sport and competing,”

Region’s tips for dealing with heat

$42 TICKETS NIAGARA YOUTH ONLY $22 NEIGHBOURS SUMMER SPECIALS

Excessive heat alerts have been been issued several times by Niagara Region this summer. Niagara residents are advised to take extra precautions during episodes of extreme heat and humidity. Signs of heat-related illness may include confusion, dizziness, nausea, muscle swelling, heart disturbances, and headache. Here are steps to minimize heat-related illness: • Schedule outdoor activities carefully. • Never leave infants or young children in a parked car. • People over 65 years of age may not compensate for heat stress efficiently and are less likely to sense and respond to changes in temperature. Stay in cool areas and use air conditioning.

Can’t go wrong with tasty summer treat

OWN THE 2016

Cooking with Nancy

F-150 LARIAT 502A SUPERCREW 4X4 5.0L

NANCY MORGAN

STRAWBERRY ICEBOX PIE INGREDIENTS • 10 graham crackers • 1 cup sugar • 5 tbsp butter or margarine, melted • 1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice • 2 quarts fresh local strawberries, hulled and thinly slice (save a few whole ones for garnish) • 1/4 cup cornstarch • 1/4 tsp salt • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a food processor blend graham crackers with 2 tbsp of the sugar until finely ground. Drizzle in butter and pulse until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture into the bottom and up sides of a 9” pie plate. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 12-14 minutes. Let cool completely. In a medium size saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, cranberry juice, 2 cups strawberries, cornstarch and salt. Using a potato masher, gently mash strawberries. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until very thick, about 1 minute. Remove and let cool slightly. Stir in remaining strawberries and pour into cooled crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or up to 1 day. In a large bowl beat cream until soft peaks form. Sprinkle 2 tbsp sugar over cream and continue to whip until soft peaks return. Do not overbeat. Spread whipped cream over pie, leaving a 1-1/2” border around edge. Garnish middle with a couple of saved whole berries, if desired.

Travellers will use Beamsville as destination Outdoor Travel, currently operating in Hamilton, will make the move to Beamsville next year. The new multistory facility, right off the QEW will be approximately 38,000 sq. ft., with a showroom, offices and over a dozen service bays. This new construction will allow the company to more than double its current business services, with plans for additional capacity and a much larg-

er service facility. “This is great news for the community,” said Mayor Sandra Easton. “Any time we can have new business and jobs coming to our community, I am excited. This move signals a renewed focus on economic development to our community.” “I look forward to welcoming Outdoor Travel to Lincoln,” added Easton. “We are a family owned and operated business,”

said Andy Whiting, owner of the family run, Outdoor Travel. “This will be a destination dealership that will bring people from all around the golden horseshoe, as well as further afield. We already sell across Ontario, and Canada, and rent to local customers as well as international customers – this will increase tourism to the area.” “This is a much needed addition to our industrial and business

park and will result in benefits to other local businesses,” said Lincoln CAO Mike Kirkopoulos.

Questions...

That is what residents have after reading about JR The Gnome getting his ouster at the demand of the Town of Grimsby last week. A resident sent in this photo of the oldhome at Main East and Nelles Road asking why Town has not seen fit to implement some of its by-law standards. As well, another residence just down the road from JR’s home has also been left to its own devices. Residents are looking for answers.

No WLMH news is good news There were some rumblings and concerns raised this week about what announced changes in the world of Hamilton Health Sciences could mean for West Lincoln Memorial Hospital’s position in that world. The fact is there are no changes - locally. It’s status quo. There were some structural changes announced with other health centres in the group, but WLMH’s future remains charted. As outlined in many stories earlier this year, programming proposed for WLMH by the HHS board has been packaged and sent off to the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN). The LHIN will review the proposal and a thumbs up or thumbs down is expected this fall. So no news is good news at this point. M.W.

Shop local more than a saying I know a lot of people have been noticing the “Shop Locally” ad being run the last several weeks, courtesy of Grimsby’s car dealers, in our pages. I know because not a day goes by, not a single hour when I am out of the office, that someone does not ask about it. When I was first approached about the idea of developing a Shop Locally campaign back in late May I had lots of ideas, but two things needed to be clear. Having done projects like this many times over the years, the number one thing consumers don’t like is being told what to do. We had a full meeting with all the car dealers, save one who could not get there, and the three area chamber of commerce presidents. I reiterated the point that at no time can one tell people to just shop locally with no justifying or reasoning behind it. All agreed wholeheartedly. The second key point was, while the car dealers have initiated this discussion, the field of those who also support the principles of a shop local message are part of a much larger group. Any business or service would wholeheartedly support that. However, it is the ones willing to act and prove themselves to customers and potential customers who are deserving of the consumers time. Whether retail or a service, every business in town has regular clients. The only way any of them will grow is to have new

MIKE WILLISCRAFT people walk through their respective doors. Clearly, our job as a newspaper is get eyeballs on ads by putting out a great publication and that helps get customers to the door, but so do things like convenient store hours, suitable inventories and premium service. If you cover these three bases, you will at least stay in the game if not develop a successful business. At NewsNow we’re no different. We’re locally owned and operated, not huge corporation here. If something needs to be done to improve product or service, we do it. In the coming weeks, there will be a series of stories outlining the economic investment the dealers have made and will continue to make in the community - whether that be in their business and staff or community events and organizations. As well, the views of local chamber of commerce presidents will also be included as they represent a great cross-section of businesses. For me, this is a beyond motherhood issue. This topic is about the con-

tinuing existence of this publication and our ability to continue doing things in the community. Without residents shopping locally with my clients, we’d be dead in the water. My interest is making the whole business community healthy. If they are healthy, I have a chance to be healthy, and that is all I can ask for. If you, as a consumer, have good or bad stories you would like to relate, with suggestions on how things could be improved, I would really like to hear them. Let’s have a dialogue. ****** As soon as I heard last week about a farm in Beamsville being quarantined for avian flu, I just hoped it was not Pete Drost’s. It was. Figuratively, of course, when it rains it pours (cause we sure have not had much rain this summer, but that may change this week). I got to know Pete during visits to his farm during the nutty Beamsville fly situation a few years ago - yes, it was a few years ago already. The problem then was not of Pete’s making, rather, a bizarre confluence of natural processes which fused at several different ground zeroes around Ontario over a couple of summers. Now, avian flu has come to call. Pete, I feel for you! Hopefully everything works out well, the feds can figure things out and you can get things back on track.

With the amazing assistance of over 110 volunteers, this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event could not have been better planned

Letter and executed. Under beautiful sunny skies and a light breeze, 46 artists/artisans were exhibiting and selling their products both inside and outside of our new venue at the Peach King Centre. Thank you to the Town of Grimsby for the use of the Peach King Centre facilities and to

their staff for lending a hand throughout the event. New to the Festival this year was a line up of fabulous and talented local musicians, the Lincoln Leapers, a wine and beer tent and food trucks. Four Food Trucks drew a large crowd for lunch, dinner and snacks throughout the day. This was the inaugural debut for Memphis Fire Barbeque who accompanied Meat

Ventures, Hometown Ice Cream and Johnny Roccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza Wagon food trucks. We would also like to thank our sponsors who have made this event possible; Grimsby Chrysler, Egg Farmers of Ontario, Maplecrest Village, Meridian Credit Union, Zoi Ouzas, NRB, Objects to Desire, Shaw Festival, Grimsby McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Gateway Tim Hortons, Coles, Shoppers Drugmart, No Frills Beamsville, Food Basics,

The Grimsby Festival of Art Planning Committee extends a heartfelt thank you to the many volunteers who came out to help with this event including several Blessed Trinity students, the Grimsby Kinsmen, Grimsby Rotarians, clients and staff of Community Living, as well as volunteers from the community.

Finally, the Grimsby Festival of Arts greatly appreciates the support of the Grimsby community and its residents. Without the support of our community, we would not have had such a successful event.
