Hillcrest store’s future uncertain

PARRY SOUND – Tony Swim says he's asked every day whether he's rebuilding his William Street Store, Hillcrest Grocery.
And he answers the same way, he will if he can.
In the early hours of March 23 a fire broke out at the neighborhood landmark, burning it to the ground. A month later, community members organized a fundraiser and collected approximately $8,000 for Swim and his partner Sue Bye.
On Friday, Swim talked about the sleepless nights he's suffered since the fire.
"I didn't get one cent from (the insurance)," said Swim. "(The insurance money) went to the people who hold the mortgage and that was it. There's no money left. What I was insured for was the mortgage and a little bit for contents insurance, but because it was an actual cash-value policy, and because the building is old, they depreciate the shingles, they depreciate the siding, they depreciate the windows and the doors, so it brings (the insurance payout) down. I didn't get one cent, not one cent, which is okay, the people that put the money out there for me are taken care of, that's a blessing. So I basically own a bunch of charcoal, a burnt building."
Swim said he didn't want to say too much about rebuilding, but did say he's working hard with "private guys" to try and get the convenience store rebuilt.
"If the finances fall into place...we'll see what happens. I sure hope we can do something for the neighborhood," he said.
And in the event he's unable to rebuild, Swim said he wants to return the fundraising money back to the community.
"As far as money from the benefit goes, if I do not rebuild, I'm going to put it back into the community, whatever the community wants to do with it," he said. If anyone wants to call me and ask me what's going on, I'm in the phone book. I'm an honest man. If the store doesn't get done, the money will be going back into the community. The money wasn't going to rebuild a store, the money was to get us through the tough times that we had, because we lost everything. That's how we paid our bills. If it's in the cards, I'm certainly going to (rebuild)...if I can't do it, I sure hope somebody does."

AMSOIL Product Code: GPOR2

Product Application
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is ideal for heavy-duty, heavy-load-bearing applications operating in the adverse conditions found in agricultural, construction, landscaping, logging and mining environments. Applications include power shovels, drag lines, wheel and track loaders, excavators, bulldozers, skid steers, dump trucks and other heavy-duty equipment with heavily-loaded pivot pins, king pins, bucket pins and bushings. AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is a perfect choice for Caterpillar equipment requiring 5 percent moly for pin and bushing applications. AMSOIL Off-Road Grease provides superior performance, protection and longevity in heavy-duty, off-road applications.

Product Description
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease (GPOR1, GPOR2) combines an over-based calcium-sulfonate complex thickener and proprietary synthetic polymeric technology to provide outstanding performance in heavy duty off-road applications.

AMSOIL developed an exclusive synthetic polymeric system custom-built to provide performance benefits specific to off-road equipment. This synthetic technology helps give AMSOIL Off-Road Grease tenacious cling ability and maximum pound-out resistance over extended service intervals, even in wet environments.

EXTREME IMPACT RESISTANCE
Greased components in heavy equipment are subjected to serious abuse. Virtually all heavy-duty off-road equipment operates under heavy-load conditions. The extreme impact common to off-road equipment forces all of that heavy load (pressure) onto places where the equipment pivots, relying on the grease to prevent metal-to-metal contact. Lesser quality greases cannot withstand the load and are pounded out of the impact area. When pound-out occurs, heavily loaded components are left unlubricated, which can result in metal-to-metal contact and extreme amounts of wear.

AMSOIL Off-Road Grease’s exclusive synthetic polymeric technology provides exceptional adhesion (ability to cling to components) and cohesion (ability to cling to itself) properties. It is engineered to resist pound-out better than other greases in heavily-loaded, extreme-pressure applications and stay in place longer, providing outstanding lubrication over extended service intervals and reducing the detrimental effects of missed grease points.

5% Moly-Fortified to Meet CAT Requirements
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease is heavily fortified with moly for maximum wear protection to meet Caterpillar’s requirement for pin and bushing applications. Its high Timken OK load and excellent four-ball wear and four-ball weld test results are proof of its exceptional load-bearing capacity.

Extended Service Life, Excellent Value
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease provides serious severe-duty performance over extended service intervals. It resists pound-out and significantly reduces the amount of grease ejected during repetitive pounding action. Field test results show that AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease reduces grease consumption by up to 50 percent. That allows operators to either maintain their current maintenance schedule and use up to 50 percent less grease per application, or extend the length of time between re-greasings by up to 50 percent. Its superior pound-out resistance combined with extended service intervals and superior protection result in reduced lubricant, labor and equipment-replacement costs.

Excellent Water Washout Resistance
Greased components on heavy equipment are frequently exposed to water. AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease resists water washout to maintain the external seal on greased components and help prevent water and other contaminants from entering wear-prone areas.

Calcium-Sulfonate Complex Thickener
AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease features a calcium-sulfonate complex thickener for enhanced extreme-pressure performance. Calcium-sulfonate complex is the ideal thickener for off-road grease. Its inherent extreme-pressure benefits deliver excellent impact resistance.

Excellent for Evinrude® E-TEC™ factory-lean setting (replaces Evinrude XD100™ 2-Cycle Oil)
Helps prevent deposits
Protects against wear
Low smoke
Protects against rust
Low aquatic toxicity
Superior performance as an injection oil or at 50:1 pre-mix

High-quality motor oil is critical for maximum performance in modern two-cycle marine motors. Direct fuel injection (DFI) improves combustion efficiency, delivering the extra power enthusiasts want, while leaner gas-to-oil ratios provide the reduced exhaust emissions the government mandates. The leaner ratio leaves less oil to lubricate and protect these hotter, more powerful motors, which invites deposits and wear that threaten engine performance and life. HP Marine is proven to excel in these harsh challenges. It controls performance-robbing friction, heat and wear, yet produces low smoke and has low aquatic toxicity properties. It's an oil as advanced as the engines it protects.

Outstanding Wear Protection
The elevated heat and friction of modern two-cycle marine motors can exceed the film strength of inferior oils, increasing the likelihood of scuffing and wear. HP Marine's exclusive synthetic formulation provides increased lubricity for reduced wear during normal and lean-mix operation (see field study results). In 534 hours of field testing, HP Marine completely prevented piston skirt and cylinder bore scuffing, demonstrating its superior lubricity and ability to reduce friction between moving parts. It maintains a strong lubricating film even in lean-mix, severe-service conditions, helping marine engines achieve maximum life.

Excellent Deposit Control
HP Marine is formulated with MAXDOSE™, a system of advanced additives for "super-clean" operation. It helps prevent deposits that lead to poor performance. In field testing, HP Marine inhibited ring deposits that can cause ring sticking and ring jacking (carbon build-up behind the ring, forcing it outward), a phenomenon that occurs in modern DFI outboard motors. It also virtually eliminated exhaust port deposits for reliable, efficient operation.

Proven in Marine E-TEC Field Study
HP Marine was installed in a 250-hp Evinrude E-TEC engine powering a heavy-duty marine rescue vessel. Following a 28-hour break-in period at the normal oil setting, the engine was programmed to its factory-lean setting and operated for 506 hours prior to disassembly. An ASTM calibrated rater examined and awarded each component either a merit rating on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 10 representing no distress) or a percentage rating (with 0 percent representing no distress). Results prove HP Marine provided exceptional wear protection and deposit control. For complete study results, visit amsoil.com/proof.

APPLICATIONS
HP Marine™ is recommended for use in all two-cycle outboard motors including, but not limited to, Johnson® and Evinrude® FICHT® & E-TEC™ (replaces XD100™ 2-Cycle Oil); Mercury® EFI & Optimax®; Yamaha®; Nissan® and Tohatsu® TLDI®; Suzuki®; Mariner® and Force®. It is also recommended for use in all two-cycle personal watercraft (PWC). Use as injection oil or as 50:1 pre-mix (2.6 oz. per U.S. gallon of gas) where NMMA TC-W3 or API TC oils are specified. Compatible with mineral and synthetic TC-W3-type two-cycle oils; however, mixing two-cycle oils should be minimized.

AMSOIL Z-ROD 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil

AMSOIL Z-ROD™ Synthetic Motor Oil is specially engineered for classic and high-performance vehicles. It features a high-zinc formulation to prevent wear on flat-tappet camshafts and other critical engine components, along with a proprietary blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors for added protection during long-term storage. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to perform on the street and protect during storage.

Package sizes include:

1-Quart Bottle
1-Quart Bottles (case of 12)

AMSOIL Product Code: ZRT

Product Application
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is recommended for older or modified engines requiring either 10W-30 or 20W-50 motor oil. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil meets API SL and earlier specifications, allowing for increased levels of anti-wear additives. ZDDP levels in Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil exceed the limits of API SM and newer specifications.

Product Description
AMSOIL Z-ROD™ Synthetic Motor Oil is specially engineered for classic and high-performance vehicles. It features a high-zinc formulation to prevent wear on flat-tappet camshafts and other critical engine components, along with a proprietary blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors for added protection during long-term storage. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is designed to perform on the street and protect during storage.

AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, the First in Synthetics®, to do the best job protecting your engine.

Protects Flat-Tappet Cams
The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one another, producing high friction and heat. The friction between the two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather than pressure lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds extra strain on anti-wear additives like the zinc and phosphorus in zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).

AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus formulation provides the extra wear protection these critical splash-lubricated components require.

Provides Long-Term Protection from Rust & Corrosion
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with a unique blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during long-term storage. To prove its effectiveness, AMSOIL submitted Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil to the Standard Test Method for Rust Protection in the Humidity Cabinet (ASTM D-1748). This test evaluates the rust-preventative properties of oil under high-humidity conditions, similar to those faced by a covered hot rod in a damp garage. The metal coupon treated with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil showed no signs of oxidation after 192 hours, while the coupon treated with a leading competitor’s product failed the test after 24 hours.

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils are compatible with conventional and other synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oils.

SERVICE LIFE
Because engines in classic cars, hot rods and other performance vehicles are generally modified, a universal oil drain interval recommendation for these applications cannot be given. Responsibility for determining the drain interval duration rests with the owner. As a general service guideline, the maximum drain interval for Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil should not exceed 5,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. In heavily modified engines (e.g. forced induction, nitrous) the maximum drain interval should not exceed 3,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used for the intended application and according to the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Trophy largemouth Bass in Harris Lake, Parry Sound, ON.

2012-08-16T13:42:00.001-04:00

Adolfo Junior Ingribelli caught a trophy largemouth bass in Harris Lake, Parry Sound, ON.

Hi Italo,

I would like to share my fishing story with you – I hope you enjoy it.

During my summer vacation this year, I caught this monster bass at our trailer site on Harris Lake in Parry Sound, Ontario. We measured my fish against the measuring tape on my boat and it was just over 21 inches long. I didn't have a scale so I wasn't able to weight it. I'll always remember the feeling of bringing in the bass. Its always nice to have a dependable net guy (thanks to my brother-in-law, Jack Puzio)

My wife, two kids and I enjoyed the bass for supper that night, much to the astonishment of our trailer site neighbors who couldn't believe we didn't think to stuff it. Oops!

The lessons I learnt during one of my biggest catches was:

1. Have a scale at all times in which we bought at Bass Pro Shop on the way home from our vacation

2. Ensure you take a picture of the fish on the scale showing the weight

3. Ensure you take a picture of the fish against the measuring tape

4. Before you decide to eat it, think twice!

FISH ON!

Tempers flare over noise from kids camp

2012-08-07T17:50:00.000-04:00

By Sarah Bissonette

Jul 20, 2012 - 11:32 AM

SEGUIN TWP. – Tempers flared Monday as councillors discussed a noise complaint filed against the Ontario Camp of the Deaf (OCD).

Two of three councillors who asked the township not to brush off the complaint, Coun. Alex Chidley and Coun. Rod Osborne, are long-standing critics of the camp’s motorized sports. In 2010, the two councillors were sent a letter by camp officials who, in retaliation, threatened them with trespassing if they visited the property.

The debate over camp activities peaked at council again during the Monday, July 16 meeting, with Coun. Chidley and Mayor David Conn hurling insults at each other.

The debate was prompted by a complaint a neighbour of the deaf camp filed with the township earlier this month, citing noisy motocross activities at the site.

The township has a noise bylaw banning racing on weekdays, between 8 p.m. and 9 a.m., starting at 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays, and restricting noise in general between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. It also has a 2010 memorandum of understand (MOU) with the camp allowing motocross as part of the camp’s regular programming.

The sound of motocross activities at the camp on First Lake, off Blackstone Crane Lake Road, has long irked area neighbours. In 2010, some neighbours filed a civil suit against the camp, which goes before a judge again in October.
In a draft letter to the complainant given to council for review, the township wrote: “The OCD have advised that based on their sole discretion, bikes participating in the camp program are tested for noise…(and) must not exceed the 94dBa criteria in order to participate in the rider training program.”

On Monday, Coun. Bruce Gibbon asked staff if the township knew what the actual sound levels coming from the camp are, and whether staff had contacted the camp to find out if anything had changed there this season, and if there was anything the township could do to mitigate the situation.
Township CAO Tom Stockey advised that the camp knew of the complaint and that the camp did test the noise level from the bikes.

“I’d like to get a copy from that,” said Coun. Chidley, referring to the results of sound testing.
After Stockey outlined the noise bylaw for Chidley, the councillor suggested that any noise disturbing Seguin Township residents should be considered a violation.
I
n reply, Mayor Conn gave an example of what is allowed, such as a person using a chainsaw during the day.
“Let’s keep this in perspective. This is an activity this camp has been doing for 20 years, they bring kids in and teach them to ride bikes,” Conn said, adding that a half-dozen people would probably complain every time the camp has the bikes out.

Conn also reminded council of the civil case before the courts about noise from the camp and suggested the township should find out the status of the suit.

Coun. Osborne took exception to the mayor raising the topic of the legal case and outlined his understanding of where it sits. He also suggested the township should purchase equipment to measure noise coming from the camp.
He then went on to dispute wording in the 2010 agreement with OCD that allows campers, but not the public, to use the motocross track.

“Until they’re registered at camp, they’re public,” he said.
He requested the township “rework” the document so that councillors, with their differing views on the matter, “could be a united front.”

The mayor urged councillors to keep in mind that the camp has a 20-year history of motorcross activities, that the activity doesn’t violate any laws, and that a sound reading of the bikes had been taken in 2009.

“If you had a neighbour on Maple Lake running a chainsaw day after day…you’d probably get annoyed,” retorted Osborne. “I know you say it’s a handful of people, but we still have to consider them.”

Conn then compared the sound of bikes to that of music at township-sanctioned events that run past 11 p.m., with both Osborne and Chidley disagreeing with the comparison.

At this point, Coun. Doug Sainsbury highlighted for his fellow councillors that the township already has an agreement and a bylaw in place to deal with the issue.

“What I don’t want to start at this council is if you don’t agree with something you keep bringing it back up until you get your way,” said Sainsbury, addressing Chidley and Osborne. “This is a democratic society, there are seven of us who make decisions and we’re not going to bring it back until something of significance arrives.”

Osborne retorted that he wasn’t a councillor at the time the agreement was reached between the camp and the township, or when the noise bylaw was put in place, and pointed out that Coun. Gibbon had also voiced concerns.

“We may have a situation here where the camp is outside the memorandum,” said Gibbon. “If we have a racing bylaw and (an agreement) that limits racing, and we have other events that create noise, we have a problem.”
Other noise makers

Again the mayor questioned council, asking how the municipality would control a situation where a person is using a chainsaw, and expanded on that scenario, asking how it would control a contractor crushing rock during business hours.

Chidley said he felt a contractor working during business hours and noise from the camp was an unfair comparison.

“There’s never been a municipality that’s overwritten its own official plan with a MOU,” he said.

“Agreed,” said Conn. “And there still isn’t.”

“We did it,” retorted Chidley.

Osborne also pointed out that what he sees as difference between the camp and a contractor is that the local business did the work during the off-season.

“You guys have a hate on against the camp,” said Conn.

“We don’t hate the camp, we have a problem with racing activity,” said Chidley.

The mayor tried a different tactic to win over Chidley and Osborne. He said that three lawyers had advised council that the township would lose if it took the camp to court over noise levels.

To this, Chidley accused the mayor of only making public advice of lawyers with that opinion, and keeping “another opinion hidden in-camera, and that’s a well-known lawyer – but that’s hidden.”

Township policy, said Conn, keeps legal opinions out of the public record. He voiced his support of the agreement with the camp over heading to court where, if the township lost, it would not have the ability to put any rules in place.

“Do you think courts wouldn’t have rules?” asked Chidley, raising his voice.

“Alex, stop yelling,” said Conn. “You’re going red in the face.”
“No, you’re going red in the face,” said Chidley.
Here Conn leaned forward, focused on Chidley, and raising his voice, called Chidley a “bastard.”

“No, you’re a bastard,” said Chidley, adding that he represents the people, not council.

As council moved on to the next item on the agenda, the talk briefly returned to what had just transpired.

“All that yelling is therapeutic,” said Conn with a chuckle. “I’m glad I got to do it.”

“I’m worried about your health,” said Chidley, mimicking a line Conn had used during an exchange between the two at a previous meeting.

“Get your own lines, Alex,” retorted Conn.

Sainsbury also replied.

“Get a life,” he said.

In an interview with the North Star, Camp of the Deaf director Derek Rumball said he is aware of the noise complaint filed against the camp, stemming from regular camp activities with the kids.

The camp has one scheduled racing event set for October to celebrate 20 years of motorcross at the camp, he said.
And later this month, the camp has a special event planned with its special needs campers to celebrate the camp’s 50th anniversary.
