NOTL CRASH STILL HOSPITALIZED The driver of
a red Mazda involved in a fatal Niagara-on-the- Lake collision Tuesday that
killed grape grower James Froese continues to recover in hospital. Niagara
Regional Police still refuse to identify the driver, whose Mazda was travelling
west on Line 2 when it collided with the Chevrolet pickup truck driven by
Froese, 46, at the intersection of Concession 2. The intersection had stop
signs for Line 2 traffic only. The Mazda
driver, age 35, of Ontario Street in St. Catharines, suffered serious
injuries when his vehicle was ripped apart on impact. He was transferred to
St. Catharines General Hospital. Froese's
pickup was tossed on its side and he died at the scene. His funeral is
scheduled for Friday at Orchard Park Bible Church. NRP's central
traffic unit continues to investigate the collision. By Wednesday afternoon,
investigators still had not had the opportunity to interview the Mazda driver
because of his medical condition. PORT MANSION
BAR LICENCE SUSPENDED FOR ROWDINESS The Port Mansion
bar/restaurant in Port Dalhousie has had its liquor licence suspended for 10
days for allowing disorderly conduct on its premises last spring. The
suspension, ordered by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission this week, will be
in effect from 11 a.m. March 17 to 2 a.m. March 27. At a hearing
Tuesday, the commission was told drunken revellers "pelted" Niagara
Regional Police officers with beer bottles from the Port Mansion patio on
June 3, 2001. As part of its
penalty, the Port Mansion agreed to increase its door staff on weekends from
10 to 13. It also agreed that after 9 p.m. no bottles, cans or glasses will
be allowed on the patio. Drinks must be in plastic containers. Also this
week, the commission ruled that serving an underage drinker last May will cost
Club Excess on St. Paul Street its liquor licence for four days. The suspension
will run from 11 a.m. May 14 , to 2 a.m. May 18. COUNSELLOR TO
ANSWER FRAUD CHARGES MARCH 21 St. Catharines
counsellor Rose Venneri Donatelli, who is accused of lying about her
professional qualifications, will appear in court March 21. Donatelli is
facing eight fraud-related charges. Niagara
Regional Police charged Donatelli with fraud last year. The Crown
alleges Donatelli falsely claimed to be a doctor, registered psychologist and
had attained a PhD. She has also
been charged with fraudulently receiving disability benefits through the
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board between Oct. 12, 1999, and July 31,
2000. REGION GIVES
UP APPEAL OF LOGGING DECISION Niagara Region
has given up its fight against loggers on the Niagara Escarpment. While the
Region initially launched an appeal of the Ontario Court of Justice
decision's to acquit four loggers on charges relating to clear-cutting last
September, that appeal has since been revoked. "That's
the end of the case," bylaw enforcement officer Vince Goldsworthy said.
"Unfortunately, that's the way it goes." Goldsworthy
said the Region made the decision in January after speaking with lawyers who
advised them not to go ahead with the appeal. The loggers
were charged with violating the Region's tree conservation bylaw after 419
trees were felled in the Grimsby area. HAECK TAKING
HER SEAT AT REGIONAL COUNCIL Christel Haeck
will make her regional council debut tonight. The newly appointed
St. Catharines representative was sworn in last week as the sixth regional
councillor for the city, and is expected to take her place in the regional
council chamber at this evening's regular meeting. Haeck, a
former MPP who finished seventh in the race for regional council in 2000, was
appointed by St. Catharines city council to fill the vacancy left by the
death of longtime councillor and former mayor Roy Adams. Regional
council is scheduled to start tonight at 7 p.m. at regional headquarters in
Thorold. FILMMAKERS
HEAD TO U.S. SHORT OF FUNDRAISING GOAL A group of
student filmmakers from Niagara College will have to dig into their own
pockets to make a movie about the healing powers of dolphins. The five
students had hoped to raise enough money to cover the $4,200 tab for their
10-day film shoot in Florida, but made it only halfway to their target. The crew left
today for Key Largo to make a documentary at Dolphins Plus, which operates a
dolphin-assisted therapy program for children with disabilities and other
special needs. Anyone
interested in helping to sponsor the project can still make a donation by
leaving a message for Tiffany Mitchell at 905- 735-4714 or sending her an
e-mail at filmoceans@yahoo.ca. ANGIE THE
RATTLESNAKE’S HABITAT EXPANDING Remember Angie
the venomous massasauga rattlesnake in Wainfleet? Well, you'll get to learn
more about her and her scaly brethren on March 12. The
rattlesnake's habitat is being expanded by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation
Authority in Wainfleet, thanks to a $12,500 federal grant. The authority
is holding a public workshop March 12 from 7: 30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to teach
the public more about the rattlesnakes. Lewis, a
rattler from the Toronto Zoo, will also be on hand. For more
information call 905-788-3135, ext. 241.
