Vineland man puts finishing touches on restored 1950s ambulance - Niagarathisweek.com

LINCOLN — A piece of local history has been given a second life.Earlier this summer Vineland’s Len Kowalik put the finishing touches on restoring a 1952 Pontiac ambulance that was once operated in Welland. Kowalik, a Niagara EMS worker, bought the vehicle in 2014 from a Milton man, setting about to return it to its former glory.“It was too nice to see someone hotrod it,” said Kowalik, who also owns some restored vehicles from his family’s tender fruit farm.Considering its age, the vehicle was in rather good shape. That’s in part because it was operated in the 50s by the Cyanamid fertilizer and chemical plant in Welland. At the time, there was no EMS or standardized ambulance service. Instead, gas stations, funeral homes and factories owned and operated them. Kowalik’s ambulance only has 7,700 miles on the odometer and following its decommissioning in the 70s spent most of its time inside a Milton man’s barn.Over the past three years, Kowalik stripped it down and cleaned it up. He redid the flooring, re-chromed the bumpers and had the exterior painted with the help of...

SIU clears OPP officer in Vineland case where man ran onto QEW - Hamilton Spectator

It was around 7 p.m. on Oct. 20, 2015 that police received reports of a disabled vehicle on the north shoulder of the westbound QEW, west of Victoria Avenue at Vineland, according to the Special Investigations Unit report into the incident. When the offer approached the driver of the vehicle – now standing beside his car – the man told them he had a busted headlight. Then, without warning, he darted into the highway traffic. He was struck by a transport truck carrying 18,000 kg of freight, propelling him back onto the shoulder. The officer put on his emergency lights and called for emergency crews. A nurse and surgical resident who had been driving by stopped to help before an ambulance arrived. He was taken to the Hamilton General Hospital, and was treated for numerous fractures to bones in his head, face, pelvis and foot. "On the record gathered in this investigation, it is evident that the subject officer was at all times in the lawful discharge of his duty and did nothing to contribute to the man's rash decision aside from being present at the time and trying to help him out," Acting SIU Director Joseph Martino wrote in his decision. "Accordingly, there are no grounds for proceeding with criminal charges in this case." The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates all report...

Tory teen fights to overcome age gap - Hamilton Spectator

Twenty Valley Golf and Country Club in Vineland. "But we need to ensure we have a curriculum that properly includes parents in the discussion, " added Oosterhoff, who has worked briefly as a policy analyst on Parliament Hill as well as in demolition and excavating. He is on hiatus from first-year political science studies at Brock University. The website of his Spring Creek Canadian Reformed Church in Vineland has links to the Association for Reformed Political Action. The lobby group brands the sex-ed curriculum "sexual erotica being handed out to our kids by politicians" and calls Bill 28 "Orwellian" and "radical" for denying "the reality of sexual difference." Bill 28 will come to a vote later this fall. If he's elected, Oosterhoff said he's counting on Brown to let Tory MPPs vote according to their conscience on motions or legislation they may personally disagree with. "Please don't let Patrick Brown silence you if you're elected," urged Queenie Yu, an independent candidate running against sex-ed and Bill 28. Yu ran as an independent in the Scarborough-Rouge River byelection Sept. 1 solely on the issue of repealing the sex-ed curriculum. Brown has muzzled the teen during the byelection, refusing to allow interviews with members of the Queen's Park media, who have subsequently made the trek to Niagara to find him at public events and ask questions. New Democrat candidate Mike Thomas, 56, a retired police officer and police union president, is looking for support from voters wary of voting for a teenager and disgruntled with 13 years of Liberal government and scandals, from eHealth to the recent bribery charges against Wynne's former chief of staff. "I'm asking people to make an informed decision," he said, calling his police and union time "very valuable life experiences." Oosterhoff encourages dissatisfaction with the Wynne administration, which is struggling in recent polls — invoking a loud and clear response during the meeting in Vineland. Ringuette was jeered, booed and laughed at several times on issues ranging from electricity prices to a 2012 Liberal government decision to scrap plans to redevelop the hospital in Grimsby, in the west end of the riding sandwiched between Hamilton and St. Catharines. When she mocked Oosterhoff for never having paid a hydro bill, one man shouted "lucky him!" The Conservative told reporters age "isn't an issue" when he rings doorbells around the riding and called criticisms of his teen status "political cynicism." Back on Main Street, voters give Oosterhoff credit for beating out veteran politicos twice his age — including PC party president Rick Dykstra, a former MP for St. Catharines — to win the Tory nomination and a chance at a job that pays about $119,000 annually. Many residents who stop for a chat on a mild, sunny weekday afternoon seem willing to give Oosterhoff a chance. "Maturity is more important than age," said a Ford autoworker walking his dog.         Let's block ads! (Why?)...

Clark Davey, 1928-2019: 'The true journalist of journalists' - Ottawa Citizen

He was heartbroken after failing his medical, but an English teacher told him that people would pay him to write. So he enrolled in the first journalism degree course taught at University of Western Ontario, graduating in 1948 and joining the newsroom of the Chatham Daily News.There, he worked under Richard "Dic" Doyle, but moved to Kirkland Lake when the Thomson newspaper chain made him editor-in-chief of the Northern Daily News. His time there was brief, however, as his girlfriend, Joyce Gordon, issued him an ultimatum: Northern Ontario or me. He chose her: they married in September 1952.In the meantime, he joined the newsroom of the Globe and Mail, where his mentor Doyle had been working for a year.As a reporter with the Globe, Davey covered national and international affairs, including the Suez Canal crisis, the St. Lawrence Seaway project and the cancellation of the Avro Arrow program. During the 1957 federal election campaign, he recognized that Tory leader John Diefenbaker was gaining momentum and might actually win, and convinced his editors to allow him to stay with the Chief's campaign for 40 days. Clark Davey, former publisher of the Montreal Gazette, displaying a mock-up of the paper's new Sunday edition in 1988. Bill Grimshaw / The Canadian Press When Doyle became editor of the Globe in 1963, he chose Davey as his managing editor, and, according to Mills, the two raised the broadsheet's reputation from that of a local paper to a national one. Davey was managing editor for 15 years before joining the Vancouver Sun in 1978. He was publisher there until 1983, when he took over at the Gazette. He was publisher of the Citizen from 1989 to 1993. He was also president and chair of The Canadian Press, and co-founder and president of the Michener Awards Foundation that oversees the country's most prestigious journalism prize."He was the true journalist of journalists," says Kim Kierans, journalism professor at University of King's College in Halifax and Michener Foundation board member. "He told me when I last saw him in November, ‘If we're not providing the encouragement for journalism organizations and journalists within them to do the journalism that matters, then we're in trouble as a democracy.'"He was also a lovely man, smart and sparkling … with incredible enthusiasm for the business and its future."According to Mills, Davey, who in 2002 led a protest on the steps of the Ottawa Citizen after Mills was fired for running an editorial critical of then-prime minister Jean Chrétien, was known as tough and gruff, "but deep down he was a really kind and thoughtful person, and a very good friend who was always fair to people. But if you didn't know him, he could be intimidating."And although he called the shots on the job, it was Joyce who ruled the home roost. According to son Ric, his father only stopped the presses twice - once while at the Globe, when Joyce called him to report that she and Ric thought they had just seen a UFO."That was the kind of pull she had over him," says Ric.Clark Davey is survived by his wife, Joyce; brother Kenneth George; children Ric (Rita Celli), Kevin (Margaret) and Clark Jr. (...
