Plant shrubs on the 20th, come back in 2020 and see them still growing: BurlingtonGreen looking for real environmentalists.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON April 11, 2013 The weekend of April 20^th BurlingtonGreen hopes to have 10,000 people out on the streets, the ravines and the vacant lots picking up trash that has accumulated or been left on the ground by irresponsible people.

They call the event their CleanUp, GreenUp and this year they have added a new, interesting twist that gives the GreenUp part of the event real oomph. BurlingtonGreen, in partnership with the City of Burlington and Conservation Halton will be hosting a Green Up event at Beachway Park thanks to the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund.

Part of the team that is going to be out on the Beachway planting shrubs and native plants Saturday April 20th.

Up to 100 people can sign up to participate in this rewarding stewardship event to improve the coastal environment of Lake Ontario’s shoreline by picking up litter, removing invasive species and planting native grasses, shrubs and trees. Those interested in participating are asked to register.

Why Green-up? The removal of invasive species is important because they compromise the ecological balance of the region and put native species that exist in the area at risk. According to the Ministry of Natural Resources, invasive species move into ecosystems and take over, killing some native species. They disrupt food webs, degrade habitat, introduce parasites and disease and lead to species at risk. Globally, only habitat loss is a bigger threat to biodiversity.

Advantages of planting native trees, shrubs and grasses will help to restore the area by providing food and habitat for native wildlife, protecting water quality by controlling soil erosion and they add beauty to the landscape while preserving our natural heritage.

It is locations like this at Beachway Park where the vegetation is sparse and the sands constantly shift that shrubs and flora native to the sands will be planted Saturday April 20th.

Beachway Park is a special place, sometimes referred to as the jewel of the city. It is a popular spot for walking, beach activities and special events. The beach itself is part of a formation called a Baymouth Bar, which is a pure sand feature, formed through natural processes of erosion and deposition.

The Beachway community is currently the focus of a study being done by the Region along with Conservation Halton to determine what kind of a community people want in that part of the city. It’s clear what BurlingtonGreen wants – a place that is as natural as it can be with flora that works with the land mass.

If you have what it takes to bend over and plant shrubs – put your name down for this one – and let the family know that you will be in the tub for an hour or so after you’ve done your shift.

Pulling Burlington into the circle of environmentally responsible cities; one tree at a time.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 11, 2013. The people on Indian Point want the trees they have kept. The residents in the Orchard wanted their trees kept but the bulldozer got to them before the citizens could do very much. The people in Roseland are determined to keep their trees and Councillor Lancaster says she was once prepared to stand in front of the heavy piece of equipment that was taking the trees out – all 5 feet 3 inches of her.

This is what people want in Burlington. Most of these trees are on city property. Should there be a bylaw to protect trees like this on public property?

Burlington, on the surface at least – wants to keep its trees, but there really isn’t a passionate advocate – at least not on city council. Say Escarpment and the name John Taylor jumps out at you. Say downtown core and Councillor Marianne Meed Ward is all over you with Councillor Jack Dennison mumbling that the trees are important but – business is business. Mayor Goldring, who positions himself as an environmentalist, certainly doesn’t come across as a champion you do not want to trifle with.

We say nice things about trees – but we have yet to see significant action – except for the work the bureaucrats at city hall have begun.

Did you know that unlike Oakville and Toronto, Burlington has no bylaw to protect trees located on private properties?

As our City approaches growth capacity, development pressures continue to climb and more trees are being cut down. BurlingtonGreen is advocating for the establishment of an effective private property tree bylaw – they are the strongest tree advocates the city has.

The City of Burlington has embarked on an ambitious Private Tree By-law feasibility review. It is an ambitious project and they want to hear from the public – I should hope so.

The review will explore options that provide a balance between allowing for the reasonable use and enjoyment of private property, while addressing public concerns about tree cutting and the need to protect trees citywide.

Cogeco Cable getting into sports broadcasting with a bunch of bandits.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON April 10, 2013 In just over a month, the umpire at the Nelson High ball park will bark out – “play ball” and the third season of Burlington’s InterCounty Baseball League (IBL) in Burlington will begin.

Is Burlington going to see some “bad guy” baseball this summer. Bandits open at home May 11th.

The team now has new owners, a new name and a whole new approach to promoting semi-pro baseball in the city.

The team has announced an agreement with Cogeco Cable that will have TVCOGECO broadcast select games during the 2013 season.

Robinson explains that he became the majority owner the original group felt the team needed more local, hands on direction and he certainly has some big plans. His opening day line-up of not only player but of special events will both surprise and delight many in this city.

“The Bandits, were known as the Twins in their first two years of IBL play in Burlington before being bought and renamed by Scott Robinson during the off-season. The team opens their 42-game season 2013 schedule in Guelph on Saturday, May 4. The home opener will be played Saturday, May 11 at Nelson Park at 2 p.m. against the London Majors.

Thursday and Saturday’s – baseball nights at Nelson High park.

The IBL was established in 1919 and has proven to be a great league for younger players to develop their skills and move on up into the majors. For the many mid-size communities it offers good sports at very attractive prices – a great affordable way to get the family out for an afternoon of good clean fun.

All the rain we’ve had this past two days doesn’t make one think baseball, but if you listen closely and let your imagination work for you – you can hear the crack of a maple baseball bat smacking the ball and watch that ball arc into the air – and who knows if it will be caught – a double play perhaps?

“Play ball!”

He started teaching us what hope was all about 33 years ago.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 10, 2013 It was 33 years ago this Friday that a young man dipped his foot into the Atlantic Ocean and starting off on his remarkable Marathon of Hope.

A short 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), after wetting that one good foot we lost Terry Fox but today have one of the greatest examples of what hope and the human spirit can achieve.

Terry Fox, dipping the one foot he had into the Atlantic ocean. He died 143 days later and taught us what hope could achieve.

The annual Terry Fox Run, first held in 1981, has grown to involve millions of participants in over 60 countries and is now the world’s largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research; over C$500 million has been raised in his name.

Can’t say much more than that – can we?

Burlington holds its annual Terry Fox run where hundreds of people show up. Fine event.

The Terry Fox organization that raises funds for a cancer cure is encouraging all Canadians to mark April 12th with a Terry Fox inspired activity – go for a walk with your family, help someone out, share your feelings about Terry on social media.

Let them know what you did by posting a story and/or a picture on the Terry Fox Facebook page on Friday.

Here’s how you keep your constituents happy. Residents plan to fight their Council member every foot of the way.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 9, 2013. There is something about Jack Dennison that makes one shake their heads. He is a proven businessman, runs the Cedar Springs Health and Raquet Club and likes to do business deals. He gets a kick out of putting together small property developments.

He knows as much about every building in the city’s inventory as anyone at city hall – and then some.

He lives his beliefs. And he lives in a home that he is proud to tell anyone who will listen that his home is designated as an historic property.

Dennison is physically fit. He blades to places, rides his bike with his partner on three and four-day events. Come election time – Jack goes through his ward on his bike.

During the 2008 recession and the years that followed, those were tough times and Dennison needed all the cash available to keep Cedar Springs afloat. In not paying his taxes he was basically borrowing money from the city – which has got to be a bit of a conflict of interest when you sit as a council member but there was nothing illegal about what he did. Good business actually; not usually good politics but it didn’t seem to hurt Dennison at the polls the following election.

Ward 4 Councillor Jack Dennison has always been a strong advocate of roads being built for both bikes and cars. Many of his constituents didn’t share his viewpoint.

Dennison is a strong believer in bicycles and cars sharing the road – and when there was a movement to put dedicated bicycle lanes on Lakeshore Road, which is where Dennison lives, he had a fight on his hands with his neighbours. Dennison lost that fight but history, we believe, will show that he has been right on this issue.

6000+ Burlingtonians have signed up so far for the GreenUp Clean Up BurlingtonGreen wants to see 10,000 registrations.

This is where the rubber hits the road for the BurlingtonGreen people. Get your supplies, get registered and add to the CleanUp-GreenUp collection.

By Staff

BURLINGTON,ON. April 9, 2013 BurlingtonGreen, this city’s award winning community organization wants this year’s GreenUp Clean Up event to be the best one yet.

The event will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2013. Schools and businesses can participate anytime from April 15 – 20th . This annual city-wide event is a terrific, rewarding opportunity to get out and meet your neighbours, make new friends and make a difference to help the planet locally. We will provide free supplies for your clean up and all participants are invited to attend a Thank You Celebration at City Hall afterwards from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. where there will be a complimentary BBQ and refreshments, a free raffle, various eco-displays and activities for children.

100 lucky volunteers will have the opportunity to participate in a Beachway Park “Green Up” event as part of the April 20, Community Clean Up Green Up day! Thanks to the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund, we are working with Conservation Halton and the City of Burlington to acquire native plants to put in the hands of volunteers to improve the coastal habitat of Lake Ontario right here in Burlington.

All schools and groups that register to participate and send in a photo of their clean up “in action” will be entered into a draw for a chance to win great prizes courtesy of Tim Horton’s. After the event, the action photos will be displayed on our popular Green Wall of Fame on the BurlingtonGreen website for all to enjoy.

There are a couple of hoops you have to go through to get yourself or your group registered – but once you get the hang of the BurlingtonGreen website everything you need or want to know is set out there for you: supplies and where you can do the GreenUp-CleanUp. It is all there in almost exhaustive detail.

The get together at city hall is very close to the best attended citizen’s event in the city – even when it’s raining – people show up.

This event is Burlington at it’s very best – we don’t need any magazine to tell us how good we can be. See it all at city hall – after you’ve done the Clean up so that the city can Green Up.

The Coronation

Ray Rivers was seen pontificating with a bunch of Burlington Liberals Saturday morning before he headed into Toronto for the Liberal Party of Canada Showcase where the six candidates running for the leadership of the party were giving their final speeches. We asked Ray to give us a first person report on the event. Ray, still with a belly full of fire for politics, reports:

By Ray Rivers.

TORONTO,ON. April 9, 2013 I could feel the mood as I descended the stairs from old Union Station to the near vacuous bowel of a structure, that is the Toronto Convention Centre. Trudeau volunteers were everywhere, waving their skinny balloons, and making rallying noises. They were mostly young people, which was so delightful to see. The woman on the TV the night before, told us the Liberals would have trouble filling the seats at this event, and she was right. The rows of seats were dispersed as best they could to disguise that the attendance was not what had been hoped.

At $150. per ticket, for which didn’t even get a bottle of water, let alone coffee and a doughnut, the low turnout was not a surprise but a disappointment. There was this overly lengthy tribute to departing interim leader Bob Rae – sure, he deserves recognition, but hey, I thought we were coming to listen to the candidates. Then the organizers allowed twenty-five minutes for each of the butt-numbing speeches. They were all good, of course, though I have to admit that I ran off to an ad hoc meeting and missed the last two speeches. But then, like the rest of the crowd there, I was pretty sure that it wouldn’t matter. Somebody in the Party needs to take a serious look at how they plan these events.

Joyce Murray had the most effective video and gave a very good speech. She cautiously and slowly walked the crowd through her vision of co-operating with the NDP and Greens in order to beat Harper at the polls next time. But it is a complicated matter, and so innovative, that I doubt some of the regular folks got it – or felt comfortable with it. Joyce spoke of her commitment to small business and the environment and I couldn’t help thinking what a brilliant environment minister she would make in the next Liberal government.

The country watched as another Trudeau headed towards the leadership of a political party

Then came Justin, with a huge gaggle of groupies, Trudeau scarves casually around their necks, clapping their skinny balloons and chanting, as their hopeful gracefully climbed onto the stage and proceeded to inspire everyone with his speech. He was confident and positive and delivered his well-written speech with passion and power. Knowing the question was in everyone’s mind he commented about his father, saying that his campaign was about Pierre, then added just as it was about all of the parents (of the younger of us, I guess) – that it was about restoring Canada to the glory days before Stephen Harper screwed it up. Perhaps he was just anticipating the Tory attack-ads coming the Monday following the vote count, but it certainly struck a chord with me – nice twist on a theme.

Mayor decides to try on transparency for size – it looked pretty good on him. He just might do that again.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 8, 2013 It was a rambunctious meeting. City Council was preparing to vote on a decision made in committee to approve the Ghent Avenue development that will have 58 townhouses going into a space that formerly had 8 houses on it. More than 100 well-developed trees would be cut down

It was controversial when it was discussed in the community; it was controversial when it was discussed at council committee and it was no less controversial last night – it still passed – but not before council went into one of its longest closed sessions.

Several of the houses that were bought up for the development that has 8 such homes being replaced by a townhouse project with 58 residences.

Council knew this was not going to be a popular decision. At the committee level it had asked for a legal opinion on the chances of this matter being appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). If Council decided to go against the Staff recommendation the city was certain the developer would take the matter to the OMB. If Council approved the development the city felt the residents might appeal to the OMB.

Rambo Creek, which runs along the eastern edge of the properties assembled, was a point of considerable discussion as to how flooding would be controlled – the city was never quite on top of that issue either.

They really set her up. They wanted to shut Meed Ward down – last night they did just that. The fallout, & there will be some, will not be pretty.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 9, 2013. It was almost slick – if a little underhanded – the kind of thing we used to see with a previous Mayor.

While Ward 2 Councillor Marianne Meed Ward was talking about one of the finer points of the Ghent Avenue development the Mayor looked directly at the Clerk, nodded his head and the Clerk nodded back at which point the Mayor interrupted Councillor Meed Ward and brought to her attention that she had gone beyond the 15 minutes of discussion she was permitted under the city’s procedural by-law.

Meed Ward was a little stunned and I don’t think she was fully aware of what had just been done to her.

At full Council meetings the Mayor presides and recognizes different speakers. The city manager is in attendance and he is there to address Council on how the administration would handle an issue.

The Clerk plays a vital, semi-judicial and administrative role. If Council passes a bylaw it isn’t in force until the Clerk signs the document.

Angela Morgan, Clerk, city of Burlington; powerful position. She runs the municipal elections, she has the power to tell the Mayor what he is doing is wrong and advise him publicly not to do so. She made the mistake on Monday of letting her Mayor mislead her.

The Clerk is the person the Mayor, or any member of Council for that matter, turns to for an interpretation of the rules. The Clerk has an assistant who takes the minutes but it is the Clerk who has final say on almost anything and everything.

Angela Morgan, Clerk for the city of Burlington; is an attentive, polite, informed bureaucrat. But Monday evening, April 8^th2013 – she did nothing to advance the civility of debate and discussion at Council meetings. This is not something she did on her own – the Mayor put her up to it.

One must admit that Meed Ward does run on – frequently. She has no friends at Council. Her Ward 2 colleague Rick Craven has absolutely no time for her. Councillor Taylor puts up with Meed Ward because he sees a lot of himself when he was a younger man in Meed Ward today.

Councillor Dennison and the Mayor treat her with the mildest respect possible or with total disdain – depending on the issue.

Monday evening there was a very divisive debate on the Ghent Avenue development, which is in Meed Ward’s ward and she wasn’t backing down.

Mayor Goldring read the Procedural Bylaw carefully and found a way to collude with the city Clerk to shut down a member of his council. The days of innocence for this Council came to an end Monday April 8th, 2013

It isn’t a very pretty development and there are all kinds of issues surrounding the pre-sale of the 58 properties and the way the city chose to let the developer’s consultants provide much of the technical opinion.

Notice for the pooper scoopers: Norton park, recently opened, will be closed for a month – grass has to be given a chance to grow.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON. April 8, 2015 If you are in the habit of taking the pooch to the park and you are partial to the Norton Leash Free Park – look for an alternative place to scoop – the-poop.

Norton is being closed from April 15 – May 17 in order to establish grass.

Your Fido may not have attained this skill set – take plastic bags when you walk your dog in the park. Norton to be closed for a month

Blair Lancaster, Council member for Ward 6 says she apologizes for the inconvenience. Lancaster doesn’t walk a dog in the park.

Ms Lancaster advises that you can take the pooch – don’t forget the plastic bags – to Roly Bird Park (2203 Industrial St.), and Bayview Park WAG (1800 King Road).

The city hasn’t settled on what it wants to do with a Leash Free area at Central Park – not looking good.

Talk to people who understand the issue and voice your concerns and opinions on a proposal to reverse the flow of a pipeline.

BURLINGTON, ON. April 8^th, 2013 This is very short notice – we just leaned of the event on the weekend.

Environmental Defence is holding an “open line: Town Hall on Tuesday, tomorrow, April 9^th between 7 and 8 pm.

Walkers Line, between the 1st and 2nd Side road – favourite spot for police to park and catch speeders is also where Enbridge’s line 9b runs – two feet below the surface.

They want to talk and listen to people who have concerns about the Enbridge Pipeline company’s proposal to reverse its Line 9 pipeline and send dangerous tar sands oil through the most densely populated areas in Ontario and Quebec. This project that could put our communities, rivers and lakes, and drinking water at risk from a tar sands oil spill. When tar sands oil spills the effects can be devastating.

The red line indicates Line 9b, runs from Westover through to Montreal and will carry toxic Alberta tar sands oil.

That pipeline runs right through Burlington at the edge of the Escarpment; a break in that pipeline, which is 38 years old, would have toxic oil flowing into the streams that become creeks in our community.

Environmental Defence invites you to join them in this telephone town hall meeting on April 9th to learn more and ask questions about what this project means for your community.

It’s free! And here is how it works:

Fill in the form (link below) and we’ll phone you on the evening of the Town Hall. It’s that simple! Like a radio call-in show, you can ask questions, share opinions or just listen to the conversation.

Middle of the day on a major street – thief walks in saying: “I thought the house was for sale” and walks out with cash.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON. April 8^th, 2013 On a bright day, middle of the day, a Burlington couple were doing gardening work in the front yard of their Appleby Line residence. One of the homeowners went inside and found an unknown female on the main level of their house.

The intruder said she thought the home was for sale and came inside to have a look. The homeowner told her to leave and she exited through the front door and was last seen walking northbound on Appleby Line towards New Street.

The homeowner subsequently discovered a quantity of jewelry and cash had been removed from the master bedroom area.

The police were called and their investigation determined the suspect had entered the residence through an unlocked rear door while the couple were in their front yard.

She did not want to be seen but her face was remembered.

The suspect is described as a female of Asian descent. She is 5’5″, 115 pounds, 25-30 years of age and was wearing a grey fleece jacket and grey pants.

Police are reminding the public that should you encounter someone in your home, DO NOT jeopardize your own personal safety and contact 9-1-1 immediately for assistance. But what do you do with the doors to your home – lock everything up tight? All the time?

There are people out there who steal for a living. Could we not have a judiciary that sentences people to some inconvenience – like 500 hours of community service. Putting them in jail isn’t going to make a difference – they are just there with their friends while taxpayers pay to keep them locked up.

Community service with some counseling and strict curfews that are enforced. Thieves learn where the punishments are severe and they avoid those communities. Our judiciary can do this for us.

Anyone with information concerning the identity of the individual involved in this incident is asked to contact the Burlington Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905 825-4747 x2315, Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-TIPS(8477), through the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.com or by texting ‘Tip201’ with your message to 274637(crimes).

What difference would a private tree by law make to this city? Does anyone really want one?

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON April 5, 2013 Burlington has an Urban Forest Management Plan that was approved in 2012 and included 40 recommendations, one of which is to consider a by-law that would limit or prevent people from cutting down trees on private property.

The moment you mention “private property rights” in this city all those die-hard “my house is my castle” conservatives find they have to check their blood pressure.

For some reason people feel that a tree that has been on a piece of land for more than 100 years can be cut down just because they hold the deed to the property. The trees are owned by the community – they just happen to be on a particular person’s piece of property. Burlington isn’t quite at that point in its intellectual evolution.

Trees add value to just about everything. The values of homes on a well shaded street are always superior to that of houses in new developments that have a sapling on the front lawn.

Should we be cutting down trees of this size?

The city, through its Urban Forest Management Plan, is committed to working with its partners and the community in both urban and rural areas of the city to ensure that this essential resource is managed effectively to maximize tree cover and health, increase native biodiversity, minimize risks to public and property and contribute to the environmental sustainability and quality of life in Burlington.

“Burlington’s urban forest grows predominantly on private property” said Cathy Robertson, director of roads and parks maintenance. “We realize that the residents and other stakeholders who own or manage land in the city have the greatest ability to influence our urban forest. However, we also realize that there is a broad range of opinions on this subject.”

The feasibility study will include a variety of engagement opportunities for affected stakeholders to actively participate in developing options and alternatives that provide a balance between the ability to use and enjoy private property, and the desire to protect trees.

The city will be conducting a telephone survey, along with a number of online surveys and a community workshop. A survey of what other municipalities are doing is being undertaken – some city’s have a very strong policy – others, like Burlington have nothing.

This is an urban forest. Who do the trees belong to? The people on whose property they are growing. Fortunately, most of these are on city property. But what if they were not all on city property? Do the owners of the property on which the trees have the right to cut them down. Imagine what this street would look like then. Still think trees are private property?

Scott Stewart, general manager of development and infrastructure puts it this way: learn what they are doing in this way: “At the end of the day, we want to have something that recognizes the impact trees have on our environment and quality of life but also is manageable from both the community’s and city’s perspective.”

The really “sticky issues” usually get handed off to Stewart – right guy to have on this file.

While the feasibility of a private tree bylaw is looked at the city wants to update existing bylaw on wood lot protection in the Halton Region for woodlots between 0.5 and 1.0 hectares.

Toronto resident makes Region his place of employment; breaks into more than ten business operations. No bail for this one.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON. April 5, 2013 OK – so we are the best mid-size city in the country to live in – but this is taking that just a little to far.

A Toronto resident is facing a plethora of criminal charges for his involvement in numerous break and enters to commercial properties throughout the Region.

Check out this list:

November 9/12 – North Halton Golf and Country Club at 93 Maple Avenue, Halton Hills

November 9/12 – Sheridan Nurseries at 9674 Winston Churchill Boulevard, Norval

He did this ten times: must have thought he’d discovered the easiest place in the province to steal in – but they caught him. Toronto resident held without bail.

Most entries yielded the accused a quantity of cash and damage was incurred to the premises themselves.

Investigation led to a search warrant being executed at the residence of the male in January 2013, but efforts to locate him were unsuccessful.

On April 4, 2013 the accused was arrested at his residence and held for a bail hearing.

ACCUSED: Jonathan ALLAN, 33 yrs of Toronto

Minor hockey in Burlington gets 20 big ones: $20,000 in the bank – what should it be spent on?

By Pepper Parr

No one knows how many times this vote button was pushed. Often enough to bring $20,000 to Burlington.

BURLINGTON, ON April 5, 2013 Goderich managed to get more votes for themselves than Burlington and they get the $100,000 Kraft – The Games Goes On award – but Burlington was most definitely in the race and will be given a $20,000 award for the Burlington Lions Optimist Minor Hockey Association (BLOMHA)

John McNeil was the Burlington “poster boy” for this feat when Kristen Priestner nominated him as the “manager extraordinaire” and that got McNeil in as a finalist.

The contest, which was open to any community in the country that ran a minor hockey team that met the Hockey Canada criteria, was based on nominations that came in from individual communities. The country was broken out into five regions, with Ontario being one of them Once all the nominations from each region were in, Kraft narrowed down the list to five from each Region. Burlington was up against Goderich, Lakefield, Cornwall and Stittsville.

Just over 18 months ago Goderich got hit with a major hurricane that tore apart the centre of that city – the community had to pull together and that experience would have had them well-oiled for the Kraft – The Game Goes On contest.

The selection was based on “votes” but these were not like the usual vote – in this game a person could vote as many times as they wanted and for whoever they wanted. All you had to do was log in click the vote button, key in the code to ensure that you were a human being and not some computer out there dialing in. Then all the user had to do was click on the vote button.

And then did it all over again until your were numb with exhaustion.

There it was – proof positive that BLOMHA was in the winner’s circle.

No one knows yet what the individual counts were for each community – the total for the country was reported at 750,000 which seems quite low.

Dirk Wolterbeek from Goderich, Ontario, received the most votes and is being recognized today with a $100,000 award to the Goderich Minor Hockey Association. The other four inspiring Ontarians earning a $20,000 award for their selected minor hockey associations include Mike Goble from Lakefield, Rod McLeod from Cornwall, John McNeil from Burlington and Cathy Bureau from Stittsville.

Burlington’s nominee, known as a “Manager Extraordinaire,” John McNeil was described by his nominator, Kristen Priestner “as going above and beyond for the Major Atom A Burlington Bulldogs. Whether fundraising, coordinating tournaments, hosting the Parents’ Christmas Social or organizing this year’s Ontario Hockey Federation Playoffs, McNeil is the heart and soul of his team.”

As we reported on this event during the two-day race to get as many votes as possible – the picture that told the story for us was this one. The kids are focused and just clicking away. That guy in the middle is going to be playing the game – real soon.

The voting started at 9:00 am last Saturday and other than a small hiccup at the start it went smoothly. Burlington parents were involved in their hockey end of season games. Besides driving to London twice and getting their kids out to two games in Burlington this band of parents had to hustle anyone they knew with a keyboard to dial in and vote.

Working from a “hot spot” on the 401 and a cell phone – these “bulldogs” managed to vote frequently.

“We used a cell phone to find a “hot spot” on the 401 and had kids on-line via the cell phone to vote as a parent drove” explained McNeil.

The winners of awards were announced Monday night during a Flyers -Canadiens game (Montreal lost which was not a good sign) and Kraft announced the $100,000 winner for Ontario – Goderich.

Well – they certainly no where their bread is buttered. A $20,000 prize tends to pull smiles like this. This is the BLOMHA core that made the award possible – there are probably a couple of bodies that didn’t make it. I want to know – which one is Kristen Priestner?

For fans – it is all about the game and $20,000 is nothing to sneeze at. McNeil who doesn’t control the award does expect the BLOMHA executive to use the funds to defer fees for kids who can’t afford to play and to buy equipment for those who need better than what their families can afford.

The core team did gather at McNeil’s house to watch the results – “it was a school night and we had practice last night, practice tomorrow, all the parents are going to a community fundraiser Friday night and we have a game Saturday…. Busy busy.” And they still managed to bring home $20,000 worth of bacon.

McNeil hopes Kraft releases the numbers. “we would like to see how we fared against the other communities – it will give us a sense of where our strength is and where we can improve”, said McNeil. Ever the analyst – he wants data.

Indian Point neighbourhood gets first of several close looks by planning department as city creeps toward a new Official Plan.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 3, 2013 – The first hint that there were going to be neighbourhood character studies was when the Planning department held a very small workshop at the Performing Arts Centre where they gave three groups of people the same very large map and asked them to define the neighbourhoods on the map.

Each of the groups came up with vaguely similar boundaries but there really wasn’t much in the way of a clear expression of just what a neighbourhood was. Little wonder: according to Alan Gummo, formerly with the planning department and now retired, the word neighbourhood doesn’t appear in the Official Plan, a document the city was setting out to review as required by provincial legislation.

The city’s Planner had decided the 2013 review would be much deeper than past reviews, doing so for a number of reasons. Bruce Krushelnicki now had Provincial guidelines he had to adhere to and he had a much more robust Strategic Plan to adhere to as well. That document was crystal clear in its viewpoint – there were to be “vibrant neighbourhoods” and while that concept has been used to slip through some pretty dodgy spending, there was no getting away from the fact that it was something that had to be dealt with.

If there are to be vibrant neighbourhoods the planners needed to know just where those neighbourhoods were located.

Fifteen acres, 30 homes, three streets are all part of the Indian Point enclave felt to be the oldest neighbourhood outside the Burlington core.

Krushelnicki explained to the residents from Indian Point Tuesday evening, that Burlington was a core city that just added neighbourhoods as it evolved. Indian Point was probably the very first neighbourhood that got described as an “enclave” with 30 properties that were made distinct by large lots bounded by a creek on the north and Lake Ontario on the south.

Aldershot evolved. Roseland came into being, Millcroft, the Orchard are a few of the others that followed. The most recent is Alton Village that came about when the 407 was built which created a piece of land that was no longer north of the rural boundary. Other than some housing to be included in the Tremaine Road/Dundas development in the eastern part of the city and the Eagle Heights development in the west, the city is pretty well-built out and as Krushelnicki put it “we now have to better manage what we have.”

Anne McIlroy, standing, talks to Indian Point residents about their views and vision for the community that is part of an Official Plan review character study.

Catholic school boards may have less money to work with but their salary levels are just as good as the public school board.

By Staff

The Halton Catholic District School Board has 192 staff members on the provincial governments “sunshine list of people earning more than $100,000 per year.

The public school board has 328 people over the $100,000 level while the city of Burlington has 117 people at that level.

Are the numbers reflective of what is earned in the private sector? Do we have an educational system that is taking more out of the public purse than it is putting back into the education of our children?

The figure at the end of each line is the taxable benefit paid to the employee.

We apologize for the formatting.

The T-shirt might be pink; the message is audacious. The one person who has made Social Media really work has spread his wings.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON. April 1, 2013 You will see the T-shirt first.

517 People. 25 Vendors. 344 Comments. 158 Photos. What Next?

Indeed – what next. James Burchill has managed to take an idea and use Social Media to build an audience and a network into something that approaches 2000 people. He is a shameless self-promoter. His events are described by him as “epic”. He emails like the service was going to end tomorrow but this guy managed to get more than 500 people out to an event at the Performing Arts Centre to just network. The bar prices were on the high-end and the selection was limited but the people were there and the door prizes were good and the Mayor said nice things about what he was doing. That was enough for James Burchill this time out.

Business in Burlington is all about business cards which identify the more than 2000 people who are part of a unique collection of people who meet once a month.

Burchill runs the Business in Burlington (BiB) “Meet Up”. It is what is says it is – a place for people to meet and talk business. It’s not a place to find the man or woman of your life or even for the next weekend. Certainly not a singles set up.

The way we relate, the paths we walk along to get where we want to go, the people we meet and then choose to meet are all part of the way the society we live in works. We organize ourselves into groups; it used to be Scouts and Girl Guides but those organizations didn’t keep up with the needs of families and the pedophilia within the Boy Scouts certainly didn’t help that crowd.

We join golf and country clubs, or a book study group; maybe the Chamber of Commerce or the YMCA. New organizations come into existence to meet new needs.

They didn’t fill every square foot but there were certainly enough of them to create a buzz. The display tables on the mezzanine were very busy.

Burlington has one of those unique situations where there are four Rotary Clubs – each meeting the needs of different groups of people. Many people use Rotary as a touch point and refer frequently to their fellow Rotarians. It is almost as if you have to belong to the Rotary to be real.

Sports is a big part of family life in this city. We put athletics ahead of scholarship and are relentless when it comes to funding events in the community with galas and gatherings.

In Burlington the Chamber of Commerce , which is fairly described as the mainline business organization, has committees and represents the commercial sector. BiB doesn’t do any representing nor does it seem to involve itself with the larger community.

Is this the direction Social Media is taking us in?

The ‘mini-trade show at the Performing Arts Centre was such a success for Burchill that he has already booked the date for the next such event – March 20^th, 2014.

The last one went so well that Burchill is holding an event at which he will tell you how he pulled it off – he says he is prepared to tell you about what worked; what didn’t work and the mistakes along the way.

Here’s how Burchill shills for this event:

Finally, when you pull off an event this big on your own, people begin to wonder how you did it. A couple of popular questions are: How do you keep growing the networks? How do you get such high engagement and turn-out?

Would you be interested in attending a private presentation about this event and how I put it together, how I marketed it, the tools I used, the strategies I deployed and so on?

I’ll take you behind the scenes and show you the successful parts … and the screw ups (there were a couple of good ones!) It’ll be a candid experience and one I think will open your eyes to the marketing power of local networking events.

You can let me know here:

Networking – right. It was an “epic” event for Burchill. So good that he is going to do it again next year.

He promotes: shamelessly, consistently, a little outside the Burlington character but his people love him and they tend to leave satisfied and plan on returning.

Burchill has moved his monthly event from the Waterfront Hotel to Ivy on the South Service Road. Next time up is this Wednesday 5 to 7 pm. It is certainly a nice location and the parking is free. It will be “fabulous” when they are out on the patio.

Business in Burlington – if you want to know how to exploit Social Media to its fullest – listen to Burchill.
