Buffalo-based real estate developer David Kompson has proposed to build a new shopping centre on the site of the former Lucidol plant.

He proposes nearly 200,000 square feet of shopping and commercial area on two parcels of land beside and behind the Golden Nugget Bingo Hall

near the corner of Garrison Road and Helena Street.

A conceptual site plan was presented to town council Monday to provide background information for Kompson’s application for a combined offi cial plan and zoning bylaw amendment.

When construction might proceed

is “diffi cult to answer,” Kompson said. “It’s certainly demand driven.”

Nearly half the land warrants special concern as an environmental conservation area which required Kompson to conduct an environmental impact study.

Shopping centre planned for Lucidol property

Descendants of George Frederick and Maria Anger, United Empire Loyalists who arrived

in Canada in 1783, gathered for a picnic outside the old homestead of their son John

Charles Anger. The board and battened house he built at the turn of the 1800s is

now the Ridgeway Battlefi eld Museum. The house passed into possession of the Teal

family in the mid-1800s and was later moved from its original location near the actual

1866 battlefi eld at the intersection of Ridge and Bertie Roads. Having come in from the

Simcoe and Goderich areas for a picnic lunch are Diane Anger, Chris Anger, Lynda Sykes,

Wayne Sykes and George Anger.

We received your issue of The Ridgeway Herald (July 17, 2013) and read the article concerning “Some cardiac patients get placebo.”

We have been around for some time and know that sometimes information in print is not always the whole story. The contents of this article is very disturbing.

Here we have a group of government organizations as listed in the article that states they have the right to play with the lives of our citizens. To say that no consent is required borders on “Big Brother is watching” and we have no rights.

There must be a better way to conduct this study. Quoting Dr. Monkley, treatment must begin as soon as possible for cardiac arrest.

The patient is unconscious with no vital signs and unable to consent. And as long as the procedure does no “irreparable harm,” a study such as ALPS could be approved.

We hope that no one in Niagara had an irreparable situation because of this study. We believe there should be an independent, open and proper investigation in this matter. All the facts must be published and all patients involved and/or their families should be informed.

Our health system is having too many problems now, but the way this study is being conducted leaves much to be desired.

Peter and Darlene RuchRidgeway

The Ridgeway Community Group funded half the cost of the water feature at the new Ridgeway Village Square, and they didn’t get any thanks.

They weren’t mentioned in the press release inviting everyone to spend a Sunday afternoon in July splashing about, drinking beer

and eating hotdogs to mark its offi cial opening.

They weren’t in the picture that featured councillors Don Lubberts, Paul Collard, John Hill, Stephen Passero, Mayor Doug Martin and MPP Kim Craitor cutting the ribbon.

They weren’t in the newspaper stories about the event.

It was only belatedly that they were even given a mention -- except in the three stories about the project published in this scurrilous rag -- by the mayor at Monday’s council meeting.

He suggested the group be invited to a council meeting to accept the Town’s heartfelt appreciation for the $75,000 they had donated from bingo funds.

It’s not the only thing they have funded. They paid for the soldier silhouette lighting features on Ridge Road. They paid for benches and garbage cans.

They were on the leading edge of down-home, main street community

improvement in this Town and a big reason everybody looks at Ridgeway and says, “Wow.”

I only know a few names of people who are or have been involved with the group, so to avoid excluding anyone, I’ll save personal mentions until I get a full list.

So anyway, thank you very much.---Here’s one thing that incenses me

about this situation.Doubtlessly, publicity was a

requirement for the application for the federal-provincial infrastructure grant that paid two-thirds of the $6 million cost of the total Ridge Road reconstruction project.

In the application for grants from senior governments, there’s usually a provision that the granting party gets free publicity. It could be a big sign, a press release, a ribbon-cutting, whatever.

So a big do is organized by the Town and the politicians take their bows (presumably for not completely fouling it up), a big ribbon is cut, a press release is issued -- and a not-completely accurate one, at that -- and copy-hungry reporters scribble and snap.

It’s not like the donation was a secret. Planning director Rick Brady mentioned it at least a couple of times at council meetings. It was included in at least two reports to council.

I didn’t go to the ribbon-cutting event. I had already fully reported everything. I even published pictures during and after construction. There was no need to hike out to a dog and pony show -- for what . . . that maybe one of them might start running with scissors and cause some tragedy your mother warned you about?

The bureaucrats in charge of organizing this event, they can be excused for the oversight. The politicians, this is squarely in their jurisdiction as representatives of the people.

There was another dog and pony show a few days later at the Town Hall. In newspaper parlance, it was a grip and grin -- shake a hand and smile for the camera.

The Royal Bank of Canada had donated about $35,000 toward a project to monitor water quality and wildlife as part of the Beaver Creek drainage works.

Surely, one of the conditions of the

There is some wildlife to contend with, including a woodlot more than two hectares and some wetland features. Three bird species-at-risk (SAR) were observed on the land but not during critical life stages, the report states.

The wetland features are small and dominated by non-native invasive species of plant life. They are separated from the protected wetland complex by the old railway line.

Issues regarding water and stormwater will be subject to further review by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

Municipal services are adequate to meet additional demand but a left-hand turn lane on Helena into the proposed development area is recommended.

The conceptual plan shows 10 buildings of different sizes spread out over the 12 hectare site. The largest provides approximately 4,500 square meters -- about half the size of the County Fair Mall which itself is empty save for two tenants. More than 600 parking spaces are indicated.

The former Lucidol site was subjected to environmental site assessments and a subsequent peer review. It meets standards under the Environmental Protection Act for commercial use but not for residential use.

Councillors made no comment about the application except that Rick Shular noted there had been proposals made “back and forth” in the past and that environmental

grant was publicity. I’d be very surprised if it was not at least implied. After all, the RBC people even brought a big novelty cheque for the occasion.

I didn’t go to that one either. It’s a worthy project and I’ll do a story about it some time, but I was struck with a certain indignation about being requested to provide free publicity for the donation.

First of all, it’s just a tax deduction for the Royal Bank, one that looks good in their public relations scrapbook. It’s a dollar and cents matter for them.

I look at their advertising budget, which must be in the millions of dollars, and I look at my cost to give them publicity. It’s about $5 per column inch.

Second, I look at the Town’s advertising budget. They are one of the biggest advertisers in the Times, if not the biggest. They pay about $700 for a page -- or at least they did a few years ago. That’s $35,000 a year for notices of public meetings, legislated announcements, reminders about parking restrictions, etc.

The press release is a monster by newspaper standards. More than 500 words. That’s about 30 column inches. The picture that was published on the Town blog, nicely cropped and sized to four columns, is 12 inches. How much time did a well-paid Town staffer take to organize and write up this event?

Total retail cost of free publicity for RBC and the Town is $210. Heck, I’d be happy with one half of one per cent of the donation.

Third, in hindsight, I looked at the cheque and said to myself, ain’t nobody gonna cash that thing, not even RBC.

You can judge for yourself in this picture. It is sized in direct proportion to my level of enthusiasm for providing this free gift.

If I could get away with a headline like, “Bank manager passes phony cheque,” that would be a whole different story.
