St. Catharines Standard, Aug 12, 2012 I Read the Article in the St St. Catharines Standard, Aug 12, 2012 I read the article in the St. Catharines Standard On Friday Aug 10 and would like to provide you the following information that may be of value to understanding the meeting reported “on Monday Aug 13 that Pillitteri Estates Winery is hosting a round table discussion on allowing wineries to discuss issues related to the LCBO with MPP Agriculture critic, Ernie Hardeman”. Approximately 20 invited participants will be allotted 2-3 minutes each to express their opinions and it is to be a closed meeting. Pillitteri Estates agreed to host the meeting as we believe that providing information to all elected officials regarding the positive economic benefits of local VQA wines is invaluable for VQA wine growth. Pillitteri Estates Winery July 4 toured and hosted Minister of Agriculture Ted McMeekin and a group of senior OMAFRA policy advisors for a 3 hour visit to discuss a wide range of issues including greater market access for VQA wines. I believe we all need to work together to obtain growth for VQA wines within Ontario and within the LCBO system. This is needed even more so with a minority government. The importance of growing VQA wines, according to the KPMG study, is that VQA wines provide over $12.56 a litre value add to the economy, Value add is beyond taxation benefits. In a previous study by KPMG the amount for imports is $.67. Going local is an economic benefit to the economy. Blended wines have a value add proportionate to their Ontario content. For this meeting Pillitteri Estates spokesperson and participant will be myself, Jamie Slingerland, and I hope that the amount of time for each participant will be sufficient to educate Mr. Hardeman on the need for greater access for VQA wines within the LCBO system. What is important to note is that there has been a rapid growth of Ontario of VQA Estate Wineries over the last number of years that have 2 places to sell their wines either the winery front door or the LCBO. The LCBO is really trying hard for us, but the system simply cannot handle the huge increase in Ontario wineries and SKUs, and their big box distribution system cannot accommodate smaller producers. Vintages cannot handle small producers either – you can’t build anything when you get one 200- case order every 2 years. According to another study by Grant Thorton, in brief, Ontario is significantly proportionately below the per capita amount of stores than most other provinces. That Ontario could support additional full sized wine stores in a parallel retail system that could only be owned by individuals independent of chains or large wineries. Further, that the cost of building a new store would not be borne by the taxpayer, have no effect union jobs, be trade legal as it would be open to all wines, would not decrease LCBO revenues while still generating additional tax revenue, store owners would be able to generate a profit, Ontario VQA wineries could sell significantly more wines as they could do direct delivery as Ontario wineries can warehouse their own product and imports have to go through the LCBO warehousing system. So far provincial government officials are reviewing this proposal and have never said no but this proposal would require another political party to support a minority government with this type of legislation. The important thing is that everyone tries to work together to increase the market access for Ontario VQA wines. The 2009 VQA wine strategy that the provincial government initiated has been very beneficial for the growth of VQA wines and needs to continue but in addition something else is needed. The Grant Thorton study is worth consideration considering the absence of any alternate study that could significantly boost VQA wine sales and yet be still trade legal. Jamie Slingerland Director of Viticulture Pillitteri Estates Winery www.pillitteri.com MEDIA RELEASE “Through the Voices of Beads” Iroquois Beadwork Exhibit Coming to Ball’s Falls Centre for Conservation For Immediate Release: August 13, 2012 The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority is pleased to present O'h ya'h ohdiwena goh: "Through the Voices of Beads" a new exhibit at the Ball’s Falls Centre for Conservation. The exhibit which is on loan from Royal Ontario Museum will run from September 8 to November 4, 2012. The Iroquois originally adorned their animal skin clothing with porcupine quills and, when they began trading with Europeans, they transferred their skills to cloth and threaded beads. Yet they retained the same imagery that they had always used, imagery that represented their beliefs, values, and legends. Indeed, bead workers have played a vital role in preserving Iroquois beliefs over the centuries. One of the goals of this exhibition is to reveal the meanings expressed in Iroquois beadwork, meanings that remain embedded in Iroquois culture to this day. A second goal is to show that this art, like the Iroquois people themselves, still thrives. The exhibition consists of about 20 pieces from ROM collections, both historical and contemporary, and about 10 works from the collection of Iroquois beadwork artist Samuel Thomas. Several of the latter, including two complete outfits, are unusual in that they were created in a collaborative effort by several teams of people across Ontario, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, working under Thomas’s guidance. Most of them had no previous experience in bead working. The intent of the project was to demonstrate that traditional Iroquois teachings can be of great value to the modern world. These teachings include love, compassion, a good mind, and the ability to work together with others as one. The exhibits’ run will feature a number of special events. A special opening night will take place on Friday, September 7th. Beginning at 6:00 PM visitors can take a self-guided tour of the exhibit and enjoy refreshments. Then at 7:00 PM we are pleased to announce that Dr. Trudy Nicks, Senior Curator of Ethnohistory at the ROM and Samuel Thomas, master bead artist and co-curator will share insights into Iroquois Beadwork. Admission to this event is $8.00 per person. Mark your calendar and plan to participate in a special workshop activity of Saturday, November 3rd from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Participants will make an Iroquois beaded bird coin purse. The fee for this event is $36 per person which includes all supplies. Hand sewing skills are required and participants will need to bring a lunch. Ball’s Falls Conservation Area is located at 3192 Sixth Ave., Jordan. The Centre for Conservation is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is $5.75 for adults and $4.25 for Children/Seniors and includes access to the conservation area. For further information call 905-562-5235 or visit www.ballsfalls.ca -30- Contact: Andrea Wilson Program Assistant 905-562-5235 ext. 23; email [email protected] This exhibition is organized and circulated by the Royal Ontario Museum through its Travelling Exhibits Department. The Royal Ontario Museum’s Travelling Exhibition Program is supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, government of Ontario, and the Department of Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada. Page 1 of 3 AMO breaking news (1) re policing update communicate to: hdowd 08/10/2012 09:09 AM Hide Details From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> August 9, 2012 TO THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF THE CLERK AND COUNCIL Policing Update Since we last updated you, the OPP Costing Project Team has completed its work and the Future of Policing Advisory Committee’s Terms of Reference work progresses. Here is what you need to know: AMO - OPP Costing Project Team: As previously reported, AMO staff, senior municipal officials and Ontario Police Service Board Association staff have been meeting regularly over the past months with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). The project team was established to advise the OPP on how they could provide and/or improve the transparency and accountability of municipal costs in communities policed by the OPP. On August 7, 2012, the OPP Commissioner, Chris Lewis, released the document “Understanding Ontario Provincial Police Municipal Policing Costs”. It can be found at http://www.opp.ca/ecms/index.php?id=13 . It is an OPP document that was prepared to provide municipal governments with a comprehensive understanding of how their municipal policing costs are calculated and recovered. file://C:\Documents and Settings\hdowd\Local Settings\Temp\notes2E0D11\~web4947.htm 8/10/2012 Page 2 of 3 This was a major undertaking and significant step by the OPP. This information will allow municipal governments who have a service arrangement with the OPP, or are considering such an arrangement to be better informed in their discussions with their OPP Detachment Commander and the OPP Municipal Policing Bureau. This project was about greater transparency on the OPP recovery formula schedules and associated information. The rising cost of policing, whether municipal or OPP services, was not part of the project. Matters related to the rising cost of policing are being considered in the work of the Future of Policing Advisory Committee. AMO participation on the Future of Policing Advisory Committee (FPAC): This is our second update on the Committee’s work. The MCSCS established this stakeholder advisory committee to look at policing activities and re-examine what is core policing and what is not. It will recommend to the Ministry changes to legislation, regulations, policy matters and strategic direction. The Advisory Committee consists of a majority of employer representatives and service providers and includes employee representatives.
