West Lincoln accepts $9.2 million With FWRN paying $460,000 for 20 years, affected landowners say they sold out

By Mike Williscraft NewsNow Niagara Region Wind Farm (NRWF) has agreed to pay the Township of West Lincoln $9.2 million

over 20 years.

West Lincoln council accepted the offer at special meeting on Monday.

The agreement calls for about $460,000 to be

paid to the township for 20 years.

NRWF is in the process of installing nearly 80 massive, industrial wind turbines which will gener-

ate and feed power along a corridor spanning from Wainfleet north through Lincoln. Work on he power transmission line is currently

See VISION, Page 3

PAYOUT From Page 1 underway with huge metal hydro poles being erected from Wainfleet north right to the South Service Road in Lincoln.

Council will have the ability to spend the money as they choose. While many expect the funding to help pay for the on-again, off-again recreation complex in Smithville, Coun.

Dave Bylsma says that is not the case.

“Council worked hard to have complete discretion how to spend the fund,” said Bylsma.

“However, the community most affected is the Gainsborough area and it will be spent there

News Now • Thursday, March 17, 2016 • Page 3 to make improvements so it won’t be spent on the arena complex.”

Noting that he sees the whole wind farm project as anything but “green” energy and that is raises the cost of energy excessively, Range Road resident MIke Jankowski said council “sold out”.

“As a person who has reported noise emissions and pulsating vibrations in our home together with a fairly consistently reported set of health issues, this is worse than disappointing,” Jankowski said.

The township will make more information on the community fund contribution public as it becomes available.

Corner crunch

Police, fire and ambulance responded to this collision at Main Street West and Christie Street this month. Injuries were not serious. The mishap caused a great deal of congestion in the downtown core.

Sales Event Many people who live in Grimsby, even many who live at Grimsby Beach, don’t know that at one time this quiet community was a “going concern”.

From 1859 until 1875, Grimsby Park was a staid Methodist camp meeting ground where folks camped for a short time every summer to worship and pray and socialize with friends and relatives.

From 1875 when permanent cottages were first built, it became an educational and recreational playground for people The best way to beat indecision from all over Ontario and is to put your foot down.

on the map for many into a community full of fun and excitement. In that year, H.H. Wylie of Cleveland purchased the failing Grimsby Park and changed the atmosphere completely.

Wylie took down the huge wooden fence that had closed off the park from the rest of the community. At the foot of Park Road, he built a dance hall, referred to as “the Casino”, with live bands to provide music.

Grand Avenue became more than just a grand avenue of trees leading into the centre of the beach community. It became a midway.

As you walked into the Beach from the railway station, on the east side of Grand Avenue you passed a dance hall, then a shooting gallery. Next came the figure-eight roller coaster, one of the first in Canada,

BEACH From Page 8 then the children’s favourite, the merry-go-round.

Before the 1910 season opened, Albert Moore built an amazing building, the very first movie theatre most locals had ever seen; tickets were a nickel, and they sold like hotcakes.

On the west side of the street, those walking down from the railway station would see a covered merry-goround, then the booth housing the Electric Lady who would give brave folks a shock with her magic electric wand. Next was the fish pond, always a favourite stop for the children, then a photo booth, a souvenir shop and a restaurant. With its Electric Lady and photo booth, Grimsby Beach was really in touch with the latest technology of the day!

J.H. Ford, photographer, had come to Grimsby Park from Toronto in 1888. He built his own cottage, and added an adjacent studio where he did portraits in oil, crayon, India ink, water colours and even innovative photography.

Wherever there were people at Grimsby Park and Grimsby Beach. J.H. Ford could be found with his camera. Many of the best photos of those early years were taken by him, including group photos of Sunday School and company picnics.

The midway lasted until the 1920s. Then Grand Avenue became quiet again, just a short, stately street lined with huge poplar trees. There was quite a fuss later when the Town which by then included Grimsby Beach decided to cut down those trees “for safety reasons”. The street became busy again when Grand Avenue School was built in 1960 Grimsby Beach with its beautiful gingerbread cottages is loaded with history. No wonder visitors love to come to see it. Sometimes they may even hear the tinkle of the merry-goround music, or the zap of the Electric Lady’s magic wand.

Basics, Real Canadian Super Store, RONA and both Shoppers Drug Mart locations – accepting donations for three causes.

This year funds are committed to McMaster Children’s Hospital Foundation for a vital signs monitor. Parker Neil of MCHF said that will come in handy for the 1,500 post-op patients they see each year.

“When we talked about where to donate this year, some thought McMaster was too far, but that is where our kids go if they have issues, so it makes sense,” said event cochair Jeff Dancer.

As well, FORT (Foundation of Resources for Teens) will also benefit.

“The need is growing,” said FORT executive director Beth Shaw. “We have about 2,400 kids who come see us throughout the year, so we appreciate the support.”

Grimsby’s Jennifer Johnston, who recently travelled to Mexico for treatment of a rate cancer, also recieved support.

Firefighters will be out at their chosen sites starting 8 a.m.

“We’re planning for great weather and no emergencies have been scheduled,” smiled co-chair Jim Bershoeff.

Meeting coverage appreciated Dear Editor, Congratulations on your vision to start “NewsNow”.

My initial thought when your first edition came out was “Why does Grimsby need a second newspaper?”

The contrast between your coverage

Letter of Rob MacIsaac’s visit to Grimsby and the lack of coverage in your competitor’s March 10th edition answered my question.

You have a pulse on what’s important

to Grimsby residents - our hospital.

I would think a company like Grimsby Power Inc. would be better served by advertising their recent public notice about their attempt to raise distribution rates by over 10 per cent in your publi-

cation rather than amidst news about St. Catharines and Niagara Falls.

I hope it’s not too long before Grimsby Public Notices are required to be published in “NewsNow”.

Are you ready to “think outside the bank”?

Is your mortgage coming up for renewal this Spring? Before you sign for another term with your current mortgage provider, ask yourself the following questions: • Have I explored all my options?

• Am I being offered the best term and rate?

Don’t assume that the mortgage renewal is a competitively-priced offer.

• Am I comfortable with my current payments? My financial obligations may have changed recently.

• Do I need to take some equity out of my home for new priorities, such as planning for a career change, my child’s education, or to purchase a vacation property?

• Has my credit score or employment changed since I last renewed my mortgage?

• Will I sell my home soon?

• Do I want to renovate my home, but I don’t have the funds to do so?

• When do I want to be “mortgage-free”? Do I even know if I am on track to make that happen?

• Will I be satisfied with the “order-taker” approach that my current mortgage provider takes at renewal time?

Too many questions? Don’t settle for mediocre service; You’ll pay for it later. I offer you expert mortgage advice and unique mortgage solutions (like amortizations up to 35 years) from over 20 mortgage providers, including the large banks and local credit unions.

Talk to us. You’ll be impressed.

Freshen your home for spring season

HOME IMPROVEMENT

DIAMOND AWARD

can improve interior spaces and brighten the atmosphere of a home. · Go plant shopping. Research from NASA suggests adding at least one plant in your home per 100 sq ft is efficient enough to clean air.

Fresh foliage also makes a home feel warm and inviting.

Watering and misting plants introduces moisture into indoor air, which can make rooms overcome with dry air from heating systems feel comfortable. Just be sure to avoid overwatering plants, which can lead to mold growth. · Swap out throw pillows. Accent pillows on beds and

sofas are quick and inexpensive ways to add new bursts of color to rooms.

You may be able to make over a room’s entire color scheme with new pillows.

Invest in pillows that you can switch with each season so your decor will never look tired or dull. · Clean existing light fixtures. Another way to brighten the mood in a home is to periodically clean light fixtures to make sure they are working effectively.

Spend time dusting them and cleaning off any accumulated debris. If need be, switch out old lamp shades for newer ones that let more light shine through.

If inadequate lighting is a problem no matter how many lamps you have, consult with an electrician about installing more overhead and accent lighting. · Give rugs and floors a deep cleaning. Recirculated air may be full of dust and other microscopic particles that end up blowing throughout your home.

Also, it’s easy to track in dirt and other materials on your shoes that become imbedded in carpeting. At least once a year, rent or enlist the services of carpet and upholstery cleaners to give floors a thorough cleaning.

Simply Said ... Simply White cd White is transcendent, timeless, its versatility unrivalled. From weathered wainscotting to crisp canvas shades, porcelain tile to picket fences, white is everywhere in every form. Turn down the noise and celebrate the simplicity of white

Create budget-friendly landscaping Homeowners understandably envy the award-worthy photo spreads in lawn and garden magazines, wanting to emulate those same looks on their own properties.

Scores of designers and landscape architects are involved in the process of creating those amazing lush lawns and perfectly placed plantings.

Although not every homeowner has the budget to create lavish landscape designs, it’s still possible for homeowners to create lawns they can be proud of. · Establish your budget. The first step in any project is to determine how much money you can devote to the

job. Once you have established the budget, all other factors can be built around it. · Find an inspiration piece. Great landscapes are inspired by many things, whether it’s a memorable piece of art or a landscape layout in a lawn and gardening magazine. Use photos of other gardens or neighbors’ yards as inspiration and build off of them.

As long as the theme is cohesive, it will look pleasing to the eye. · Consider the space and how you want to use it. Understanding the space will help you better allocate your budget. If your yard is more of a retreat, look for ways to

create privacy and a vacation feel. If you have kids and entertaining friends is a main priority, focus on recreational aspects, such as a pool, playset and some durable plants.

Understanding how to allocate your budget will help you to avoid spending money frivolously. · Think about reclaimed or repurposed materials.

Brand new items can quickly eat up a budget. However, repurposing salvaged or inexpensive items can stretch that budget while adding some unique flair to a landscape.

See if you can find an outdoor patio set that someone is giving away or selling

Enjoy the carpet that offers it all:

• Permanent, built-in stain and soil resistance that never washes or wears off • Spill protection technology for quick and easy cleanup • Exceptional durability • Luxurious softness

for a lower price. All it takes is a coat of paint and some new cushions to make it look like new.

Discarded bricks or stones can be worked into a patio space or used to create raised garden beds.

Purchase inexpensive flower pots and then paint them to make them look like stone or another desired material. · Buy native plants.

Native plants, shrubs, trees, and flowers will fare better than non-native, exotic plants.

That means you’ll have to spend less time and money nurturing them into health, and less money having to replace plants that cannot withstand your climate.

Kin mini-putt tops $100,000 donation mark It’s taken 17 years, but the Grimsby Kinsmen Club surpassed the $100,000 donation mark towards West Lincoln Memorial

Hospital Foundation at last weekend’s mini-putt event.

Another sold out group of 30 foursomes helped raise $9,000

this year, bringing to the total Foundation contribution to nearly $105,000.

“We would like to thank all of the

establishments, event sponsors, hole sponsors, prize donors, and the golfers who helped make this year a success,” said event co-chair Rick Manners.

“Special thanks to John Metcalf from Home Depot for building the two new and challenging holes.”

(Left) Co-owner Mark Wood, left, and Matt Russo took a break from reconfiguring the bar area about three weeks ago. (Right) Wood, co-owner Chris Biggs and Russo were putting the finishing touches on things as the readied to open their doors. Co-owner Brett Poole was not on hand.

The Forty ready for business A lot of questions have been answered with the opening of The Forty Public House last Thursday.

For many months the public has inquired what would go into the former Coffee Culture location in the centre of Grimsby’s core.

Co-owner Chris Biggs has the answer.

“We’ve tried to do something upscale, different from other places in the area.,” said Biggs, “People will have to come in and check us out to see what we’re all about.”

Emporer of Montreal disappeared in Pacific with no trace found of ship, crew

Ron Beaupre Collection - Photo

By Skip Gillham For NewsNow The Emperor of Montreal was a product of the Port Arthur shipyard in Port Arthur, ON. This latter community is now part of Thunder Bay and the ship was launched there on May 5, 1919.

The new freighter was delivered to the Government of Canada as Canadian Trader on July 18, 1919, and cost $684,905.

The 76.5 metre log cargo carrier was constructed to assist in the war effort but peace had been won by the time the ship was ready for service. It thus operated around coastal Canada and was managed by Canadian Trader Ltd. of Toronto on behalf of our government.

The ship was sold to James Playfair in 1925 and renamed Emperor

Shipwreck of Montreal. It was then resold to Mrs. G. Scuderi of Scuderi Motors in 1927 and registered in Italy as Gilda Scuderi. The vessel was passed on to Japanese

interests in 1928 and headed for Kobe, Japan, late in the year.

En route, the steamer loaded a cargo of scrap steel at Houston, TX and then put into to Seattle for fuel and repairs. It departed the Pacific Northwest on

Nov. 5, 1928, for the long trek to the Far East but was never seen again.

The former Emperor of Montreal disappeared with all hands somewhere out in the Pacific after only 10 years of trading.

WL council actions questionable: reader Dear Editor, West Lincoln Council last night rendered some disappointing decisions and I wonder how this can be considered ethical actions by a government. (Or even legal?!)

Money should never be allowed to buy a decision, yet last night, Council agreed to receive money while the wind power corporation was granted exemptions and more which will help them get their revenue generating project into operation sooner.

West Lincoln just entered into a legally binding agreement with a wind power corporation to commit to specific conditions, which we have been told we will never know, and, in return, the wind power corporation has agreed to pay them $460,000 a year for 20 years.

Letter They also shockingly rolled out the red carpet allowing the wind power corporation and its hires exemption from the spring-time road half-load restriction and re-wrote our noise by-law for them.

Seems we are seeing the behaviours already.

I would expect to be brought up on criminal charges had I done this in private practice.

As a person who has reported noise emissions and pulsating vibrations in our home together with a fairly consistently reported set of health issues, this is worse than disappointing.

Council had all the right information to make an integral decision.

One resident who

is surrounded by large wind turbines presented herself as a face of the suffering in West Lincoln.

I hope this provides you with a glimpse into how the wind industry and some governments work.

This is the tip of the iceberg of what

we are up against.

Despite this, there is much hope that science will eventually credit those who have been left to self-report health issues from large wind turbines.

Thank you, Mike Jankowski

WL council get $9.6 million? Seriously?

One could say it making the best of a horrible situation – taking handout, er, buy off, er, pay out from Niagara Region Wind Farm group to the tune of $460K annually for 20 years, or $9.6 million.

One could also say it was a no-holds-barred sell-out.

Somewhere in the middle lies the truth.

The unfortunate part, really, is that council gets control of this windfall.

It is unfortunate some sort of public trust was not set up and the community as a whole assumed control of it because ratepayers should have serious concerns.

From everything seen earlier in the year with the rec complex debacle, the finger pointing and deception which became common with the Smithville core overhaul and even the inability to get laneways paved properly after street work on Northridge Drive, all scream for some sort of oversight being needed for council.

Residents, attend every public meeting on this one! M.W.

Anyone ready to get a little dirty?

You’re just not in Kansas anymore people, when it comes to West Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

Before I go a letter further, I’d just like to thank people for all their comments and letters this week about my coverage of the Hamilton Health Sciences announcement on March 3. It was an important step and demanded that kind of space, time and energy.

I must have received 20 letters. I printed one as an sample. Thanks, again.

So, the hospital, you will see a couple more matters stemming from the HHS meeting fleshed out in the coming weeks in these pages. There were several major arteries hit during a spicy Q&A, some within HHS’s control, others not. But as I said last week, ALL are important.

I’ll get to some of that.

It was interesting to see how many people started their comments noting their willingness to “get a little dirty” as I suggested.

Now we just had a very successful logo contest with the Grimsby Downtown Improvement Area Board, so I know we have some nifty artists in our midst, so send me a WLMH campaign logo with the phrase, “Let’s Get Dirty!” built into it.

I had about 10 requests for T-shirts, of all things, so why not see what we can do.

I had some people say they didn’t like my

MIKE WILLISCRAFT suggestion of blocking the QEW since it would negatively impact innocent folk motoring off to someplace.

While I would not want to be one of those motorists, I really don’t care. I am waaaaaaay beyond that point.

We could all gather, just like 1997, and be 10,000 strong up at Beamers Point and shout across the lake.

Do you think Kathleen and her cronies would care? Not one ounce.

Two farmers said they would gladly show up with their tractors to help with the blockade so, who knows, that may take off. It is extreme, but we need to be extreme.

There are only two things which catches the attention of any elected official: the potential loss of votes and public embarrassment.

With the foreseeable end to the reign of the Progressive Conservatives at the provincial Riding not in the immediate future, Kathleen’s crew cannot really lose

any votes here – nothing that would impact her party anyways.

Public embarrassment, while more risky, is the only card we have to play and if blocking the QE gets attention and voters from Liberal ridings get held up for a few hours, maybe they’ll pay attention, too.

As I said, let’s get a posse together and see what we can wrangle up!

We need to get our share of attention here, but we also need to pay attention what is happening elsewhere.

Even where they get all kinds of righteous coin to build a new facility - I’m talking Windsor - they don’t seem to be able to avoid controversy as they are looking to build the new place on pristine farm land. Maybe the Greenbelt can annex them and shut that down.

Having been through the WLMH PR mill with the province on two occasions I can tell you a third time through will simply not be as friendly and cordial.

I might even call Donald Trump to get up here and push our campaign. Wait. That is asinine. I better calm down and think rationally.

Next week I want to hear your ideas. Send me a note or call me with an idea for a demonstration or a campaign that will be 100 per cent sure - and legal - to get the attention of provincial government.

News Now • Thursday, March 17, 2016 • Page 23

Reader ready to “get dirty” Letter by/Lincoln presents as Conservative it’s very clear our provincial government is going to continue to slough our determination to realize a rebuild of our crumbling, asbestos reeked facility this community so desperately needs and deserves.

We obviously have been too complacent with our “gentle” way of accomplishing a fervent commitment to our cause, which I dare say a large percentage of our townsfolk would agree , a more stringent stand needs to

Dear Editor, I’ll begin with my introduction; my name is Bobbie Dyment and I reside on Main Street West in Grimsby. Our home is located at the bottom of Woolverton Road As a longtime resident of this community since the age of 15, this hospital issue is near and dear to my heart.

Involvement with fundraising, community rallies, meetings, etc. and realizing our progress has been minimal to say the least, I am in total agreement that it is time to make noise and “get dirty”!

As long as Grims-

be displayed.

Your most recent editorial has encouraged me to indicate my earnest ambition to turn this ship around!

It is with all sincerity that we can make a difference should we garner a multitude of participants to pursue a most needed presentation of “I’m mad as hell! And I’m not going to take it anymore”! to the powers that be.

With thanks for your recognition and support at that time.

I look forward to your reply at your convenience.

Sincerely, Bobbie Dyment
