James Lane is back.

The former Ward 1 councillor from 2008 to 2010 will return to town council at its next meeting on Dec. 2.

He will replace Ward 1 Coun. Larry Clark who resigned on Nov. 4. He is moving to British Columbia.

Town councillors, at their policy and priorities committee Monday,

passed a motion recommending the appointment of Lane. They bypassed calling a byelection or advertising for applications.

Lane will officially become councillor when council accepts the committee’s minutes.

In an interview after Monday’s meeting, Lane said he will stress fiscal responsibility.

“I’m always concerned about the way our dollars are spent,” he said.

“I’m not sure about all the spending that has gone

on.”

The 68-year-old retired manufacturing supervisor said he hopes to be able to aid the people of Ward 1.

He has a particularly interested in seeing work go ahead in the reconstruction of downtown Fenwick.

While he agrees with repair of outdated services, he said many in Fenwick are questioning the possible costs of a beautification project.

He is interested in get-

ting on with the East Fonthill development.

“We need more assessment to increase our revenue.”

Lane was the third place finisher in two-seat Ward 1 in the 2010 election behind Debbie Urbanowicz and Larry Clark. He also finished second in a 2011 byelection behind current Ward 1 Coun. Richard Rybiak. It was called to replace Urbanowicz who resigned for health and personal reasons.

Lane was appointed to

council the last time he served. He finished third in Ward 1 in the 2007 civic election and was appointed when Malcolm Allen resigned after he was elected the federal Member of Parliament for Welland in 2008.

Actually, Lane never left the council chambers.

He has sat at the back of the visitors gallery at almost every council meeting during the past three years.

Lane continued from Page 1 motion to appoint Lane, joked that Lane’s attendance was better than some sitting councillors.

Although he gained his seat through a byelection, Rybiak said a byelection was “less useful now.�

In 2011, there was still three-quarters of a term left, now there is less than a quarter, he said.

It made sense to appoint someone who had received the support of a “critical mass of the electorate� as Lane showed in both the 2010 election and the byelection. “He ran and put forward ideas not only once but twice, that’s something I respect,� he said.

Rybiak rejected the idea of asking for applications from which councillors

www.thevoiceofpelham.ca

would select member.

Councillors would pick someone who fit their idea of what a councillor should be rather than what the electorate may want, he said. “While I may disagree with their views we must have divergence on council and Mr. Lane represents a different view than mine.�

Ward 3 Coun. John Durley said he echoed the

views of Rybiak. “I don’t think we have any option other than appointment.�

He referred to clerk Nancy Bozzato’s report on options for filling a vacancy. It said a byelection in Ward 1 would be held at the same time as campaigning could be underway for the 2014 civic election. Ward boundaries would be different for each election.

Niagara Region Public Health has received the first laboratory-confirmed case of Influenza A. The individual is an adult who resides in the Niagara Falls area.

Influenza A or the ‘flu’ is a respiratory illness which causes fevers, coughing, sore throat, body aches and pains. It is spread by coughing, sneezing or coming into contact with surfaces or objects contaminated with the virus.

Severe cases can lead to

serious breathing problems or pneumonia. To prevent getting or spreading the flu, residents are reminded to take the following precautions: Get your flu shot Clean your hands regularly Cough into your elbow, arm/sleeve or tissue Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces regularly Stay home if you are ill

He suggested staff recommend a policy for filling vacancies such as when to hold byelections and when to appoint.

Mayor Dave Augustyn similarly said he “echoed the views around the table.�

The timing isn’t right for a byelection now as it was when Rybiak was elected early in the term of council.

The feedback the mayor

received from his column on the vacancy favoured appointment of an experienced person. “Mr. Lane has been here watching us, I think he can fill the role very well.�

Committee chair Ward 2 Coun. Gary Accursi also supported the motion.

Ward 3 Coun. Peter Papp declared a conflict and left the room during the debate. Papp is Lane’s brother-in-law.

Crossley continued from Page 1 Advocates Ready To Help) Club, said the computer system will enable guests lecturers as well as teachers to use lecture room in a paperless fashion.

The projector, she said, can run off four laptops at a time. The laptops include a travelling case for use in classrooms around the school.

Crossley is one of 10 schools across Canada to receive $25,000 from the Staples Canada Recycle to Education fund for computer labs.

The project also received $6,000 from the E.L. Crossley Alumni from money raised during the recent Crossley 50th anniversary reunion.

The Staples award recognizes Crossley’s recycling record. The EARTH club outlined its story in an essay about the school’s recycling projects. “‘Good Planets are Hard to Find’ is more than the simple phrase on poster above classroom recycling

centres in our school,” said the writers of the essay.

It went on to describe the school’s programs of blue, grey and GOOS paper bins. Its introduction of green bins in the cafeteria and several classrooms. Its cartridge and cell phone recycling project to fund filters for water bottle refilling stations.

The refilling stations started with one in the gym lobby in January 2011 then expanded to four.

They stirred others in the District School Board of Niagara to follow. Today there are more than 53 in other schools and district buildings.

Keller estimates Crossley alone has diverted 350,000 plastic bottles since the water bottle station project began.

“It has become normal for students and for others using the gym to bring and refill their reusable bottles,” she said.

Crossley has gone beyond turning off lights for Earth Hour to turning off

Professional

Page THE VOICE of Pelham Wednesday, November 20, 2013 all non-essential lights all the time.

Outside, a five-year grounds program has meant the planting of 44 native trees and 125 square metres of native plant gardents.

Crossley has mentoring partnerships with its feeder schools and with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority.

General manager Alex Hagerman from the Staples Welland store helped with the Crossley with its entry.

“Few schools have so much going on,” she said.

About 650 schools from across Canada entered the essay contest for the 10 prizes. The nearest other winning school was in Hamilton.

Staples, she said, stresses improving the environment and the future of a sustainable environment is definitely in the hands of the students.

“It’s part and parcel with us doing business,” she said.

Staples left use of the award money up to the

school.

Keller said she likes the symbolism of the grant from the Crossley alumni.

“The paper and pencil generation is buying technology for today’s students.”

Janet Cripps, guidance teacher and alumnus, said the reunion raised about $18,000 it plans to spend in the school.

In addition to the $6,000 for the lecture room, it spent $4,000 for the cafeteria, and set aside $2,500 as seed money to promote Alumni projects through a website.

The rest will go to a yet to be determined future project.

Principal Ed Goerzen said Crossley has a fine environmental record. It even has a environmental specialist designation available for students to along with its energy and business specialist categories.

“But it wouldn’t happen without leadership from teachers like Sharon Keller,” he said.

Appointment practical solution The selection of Jim Lane to replace Larry Clark on town council is a good practical decision, even if not the most democratic.

In an ideal situation, the 3,600 voters of Ward 1 should elect the replacement.

Unfortunately, the process of holding a byelection under the Ontario Municipal Elections Act is ridiculously cumbersome.

Town clerk Nancy Bozzato pointed out Monday in her background report to council that by using the standard 60-day nomination period, a byelection could not be held until March 17. The new councillor would take office on April 7.

Even if the town used a shorted 28-day nomination period a byelection could not he held until Feb. 13. The winner would not take his or her

seat until Feb. 18.

We’ve seen rebels with cell phones bring down 30-year dictatorships in weeks.

The federal and provincial governments can call and hold snap elections within six weeks.

Yet, it takes months to arrange for a few thousand to vote.

No, you can’t gather them around the Fenwick flagpole for a show of hands.

People lose interest in a drawn out process. That may explain the dismal 22% turnout in a 2011 Ward 1 byelection after a less than impressive 43% turnout in the 2010 civic election.

The rules make you wonder if provincial lawmakers, under the lobbying influence of municipal politicians, intentionally made byelections difficult

just to discourage their use.

It should not surprise anyone. The current fouryear term for municipal councils, up from three years, was slipped into the system by such a lobbying process.

The public didn’t ask for it. Nor was it consulted in any significant way. Municipal leaders just liked the idea of a longer term.

They sold it as a matter of stability.

A byelection would cost $8,000 to $10,000 not counting staff time. Not a good investment to fill a position for a few months.

The 2014 municipal election is on Oct. 27, 2014.

In fact, the 2014 election would be underway during the byelection campaign. Candidates can declare their candidacy in January, if they want.

A local twist adds to the

problem. The town’s ward boundaries will change for the 2014 municipal elections.

So, a Ward 1 byelection would be held on current boundaries, while the October civic election for term of four years would be on the new boundaries.

Again, it’s not worth the hassle.

It made more sense to look at the back of the council chambers. There sat a dedicated spectator and experienced councillor.

Jim Lane, who served from 2008 to 2010, has hardly missed a meeting in three years.

He was the runner-up in Ward 1 when Debbie Urbanowicz and Larry Clark won the two seats.

He was also the runnerup when Richard Rybiak was elected in a 2011

MY VOICE

Wayne Campbell byelection to replace Urbanowicz, who resigned for health reasons.

Lane was actually appointed in 2008 as the runner-up in Ward 1 in the 2007 municipal election. Malcolm Allen resigned to serve as MP for Welland.

“Always a bridesmaid,” Lane quipped about his election record Monday after council’s policy and priorities committee recommended his selection.

He will move from the spectators gallery to the council table on Dec. 2.

Council is fortunate for find a replacement with clear interest in what is happening in the council chambers.

LETTERS to the editor

Homes for the Holidays draws 418 The very successful 10th annual “Homes for the Holidays” house tour has come and gone. Tickets were bought by 418 who toured the beautifully decorated homes and Fonthill United Church. They had an enjoyable day viewing the talents of our local designers. None were disappointed.

People from the Pelham area as well as from all over the Niagara region, London, Guelph, Hamilton and elsewhere, came to our community last Saturday, basking in the sunny weather, and expecting to view the latest in Christmas decorations.

The church and the six decorated homes were the focus of activity. Vermeers Garden Center and Flower Shop, Cox Home Furniture, The Log Cabin Gift Shoppe, Décor Amour/Hometown Treasures, Le Village,Brian E Burgess & Associates Interior Design outdid themselves this year – the homes were

uniquely decorated to complement the home owners’ décor and visitors left with new ideas to translate into their own homes.

J&J Floral Expressions and Floral Dimensions combined their talents and products to produce very attractive centerpieces which graced the tables in our refreshment hall. Red poinsettias, donated by Rice Road Greenhouses, provided the traditional color of Christmas as backdrop to the festivities.

Visitors spoke enthusiastically about the beautifully decorated homes, the friendly, courteous volunteers in the homes and refreshment area, and our community. Many students from EL Crossley, Notre Dame, Centennial and Jean Vanier volunteered to earn community service hours.

Sweet Thoughts contributed a delectable chocolate delicacy for a random draw which was won by Joan Mosier. As well, Sobeys pro-

vided all the plastic bags for our visitors to carry their shoes in at each home. The bake sale table, featuring our specialty scones and our congregation’s baking skills, sold out!.

The enthusiasm of all the volunteers including congregational members, students, friends of the church, and the guests touring our homes overwhelmed us. The local media excelled themselves and supported our fund raising efforts immensely.

A special thank you is extended to the decorators for selling tickets. This was truly a community effort and we extend a most sincere thank you to you, as reporter of the Voice, but also to the community at large.

No more sidewalk snow clearing!

BY DAVE AUGUSTYN Mayor of Pelham

For kids the arrival of snow is exciting and fun.

For adults, it also means dealing with snow on the roads, in one’s driveway, and on the sidewalk in front of your home.

But, not this year!

You may recall that in 2008 the Pelham Active Transportation Committee presented research showing how cleared sidewalks in the winter would help to make the town more walkable yearround. At the time, the

committee suggested a bylaw to compel owners and tenants to clear ice and snow from the sidewalks surrounding their properties.

That same year, the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council asked council to pay for the removal of snow from sidewalks so that local students would be encouraged to walk to and from school.

In February of 2009, council approved staff clearing an additional 633 metres of sidewalks in front of town-owned properties like parks. We

also asked for staff to develop a snow clearing bylaw for implementation that November.

That draft bylaw received significant feedback from the community and in early-2010 Council adopted a bylaw that called for property-owners or tenants to clear ice and snow from sidewalks in front of or alongside a home or business within 24 hours of a snowfall.

The town established a Snow Angel program (together with Pelham Cares) for frail or injured residents who might not

be able to hire someone to clear snow. Further, the bylaw included an enforcement process and allowed for fines or a recovery of cost to a property-owner should the town need to clear the ice and snow.

Quite frankly, the bylaw and its enforcement failed. Some people were ticketed despite having just cleared their snow; for others, perhaps because they were away, the warnings and tickets piled up and upon return or when the snow had melt-

ed, they refused to pay the fine; many who have a “curb-faced” sidewalk in front of their home could not keep-up with the significant snow deposits from town snowplows.

So, during 2012, council asked staff to go back to the drawing board. Staff used our creative problem solving process and came back with a way to clear every sidewalk in town for only an additional $7,000 per year. Council agreed and included the funds and the rental of some specialized equipment

in the 2013 budget for implementation.

Since it is a new service, staff will likely have a few kinks to iron-out over this winter; but know that council remains committed to the vision of safer and more sidewalks so that adults and children alike can continue to walk and be active all winterlong.

Santa rides solo in Fenwick Parade BY WAYNE CAMPBELL

for the VOICE

15% off Gold Gemstone Jewellery Until Sat. Nov. 23rd

This year Santa Claus will ride solo in the 16th annual Fenwick Lions Santa Clause parade on Saturday, Dec. 14.

For the past few years, Santa Claus was accompanied by Mrs. Claus but not this year, said parade organizer Trevor Philbrick.

After the 1 p.m. parade Santa will be greeting children of all ages in Centennial Park where the Fenwick Lions and Fenwick

Lioness will serve free hot dogs, chilli, hot apple cider, hot chocolate and coffee as well as provide train rides, hay rides and face painting other entertainment for youngsters.

Philbrick said organizers are still taking applications for parade floats, which can be submitted through the Town of Pelham website, www.pelham.ca.

The parade is one of the Lions major community projects, he said. “We try to keep it simple and welcome any new ideas,” Philbrick said. “Generally,

we have been lucky with the weather and we hope our luck holds.”

The parade begins at Bethany Christian Reform Church at 1086 Balfour St., Fenwick, heads north on Balfour St. to Canboro Road and then west to Church St. and south to Centennial Park.

The Lions have lined up three bands including the E.L. Crossley Secondary School marching band.

The parade is part of the town’s Christmas in Pelham program.

Wigg students form big blue circle for Diabetes awareness BY WAYNE CAMPBELL

for the VOICE Students of A.K. Wigg Public School shouted out answers during a Diabetes Awareness Day assembly last Thursday.

They knew the replies to true or false questions.

Terri Alana Young, Niagara region branch coordinator for Canadian Diabetes Association, quiz the students about myths and misconceptions surrounding the condition.

They knew there is no cure, just treatment of the symptoms.

They knew it did not come from too much sugar.

They knew Type 2 diabetes was inherited. while the cause of Type 1 is unknown.

Most students were

dressed in blue to show support for four of their fellow students who have Type 1 diabetes.

Following the assembly, they formed a blue circle, the symbol of Diabetes Awareness Day, and smiled for photos in the gym.

A. K. Wigg has a high incidence of Type 1 Diabetes, said Tim Stillson, a parent who helped to organize the event.

His five-year-old daughter Page has the condition and has to have her blood sugar tested seven to 10 times a day.

She is on an insulin pump, which helps to control injections.

The Stillson’s live close to the school, so they can come when needed, the 18-year paramedic explained. His wife Pam is a practical nurse.

While their medical

Wayne Campbell/ Voice Photo knowledge helps them deal with the situations, they have had their moments.

“We’ve made many trips to the hospital,” he said.

Even though their daughter is only five, Pam said she is very knowledgeable about her condition and knows how to deal with something she has had for

half her life.

However, “diabetes has no rules,” said Pam. For Grade 8 student Abigail O’Connor, 13, Type 1 Diabetes arouse as an

unpleasant surprise last year.

She didn’t let it affect her very active lifestyle and continued to play soccer and basketball.

Regular testing through the day became a nuisance, she said.

Davon Koch, 12, developed diabetes four years ago.

While he knows he has to take precautions, he said he does not let it get in the way of his activities.

“I play soccer and football including tackling.”

Young told the students diabetes need not stand in the way of anyone leading a normal life.

Professional athletes and entertainers cope with it.

The key is lots of exercise and eating healthy, she said.

SMART WORKOUT AHEAD OF THE CURVE Fonthill, ON (Grassroots Newswire) November 20 -- Imagine having the world’s most advanced fitness coach at your disposal. This coach customizes workouts based on your body structure and endurance and adjusts each exercise machine’s intensity based on your recent progression. It monitors your energy level and range of motion continuously to ensure you are achieving your personal potential. Then the coach automatically computes your workout data to produce a progress report, including the number of calories you burned and 3-D anatomical diagrams to show which muscles you’ve worked and how successfully.

This is exactly the role of the CurvesSmart™ personal coaching system, a new technology pioneered by Curves and powered by MyTrak that offers a custom, individually tailored workout, moment to moment feedback and progress reports to keep members motivated while they work out. Curves of Fonthill is pleased to offer its members this revolutionary equipment upgrade.

After a member’s personalized profile is determined by a Curves staff member, the member is issued a CurvesSmart ID Tag. The tag is electronically recognized by the monitor at each station, automatically retrieving the member’s profile to determine the specifications for her workout.

The monitor indicates: whether her heart rate is in the target range; whether the member is achieving her target intensity level; the range of motion for each repetition; and the number of repetitions. If the woman is exercising correctly, all indicators on the monitor will be green. Members are enthusiastically encouraged to “Go for Green!” Following the workout, the system produces a progress report which allows the member to see, instantly and in quantifiable terms, her strengths and weaknesses.

“The CurvesSmart technology offers women the benefits of a highly skilled personal trainer without the expense,” said Susan, owner of Curves of Fonthill, located at 145 Hwy. 20 East. “It’s the world’s most advanced fitness training system. We expect our members to be thrilled with how this amazing workout will help them achieve their goals even faster.”

SPORTS

Peewee rep team wins again The Pelham Panthers E.S. Fox Peewee Rep Team won their second tournament of the year, capturing the Beaverloch Farms Tournament in Thorold. The boys went undefeated outscoring their competition 34-12 over six games.

Mitchell Carmichael led the Panther attack in game one with three goals as Pelham rolled over Merriton 8-1. Quentin

Annunziata, Liam Sodtke, Ethan Mergl, Garrett Jackson, and Cameron Crysler each chipped in with one goal.

In game two the Panthers defeated the Port Colborne Sailors by a score of 5-3. Carmichael scored twice and Connor Walton, Alex Repar and Sodtke added singles.

Day 2 started with a 4-1 victory over the Mariposa Lightning. Tyler Dekker,

Joey Natale, Carmichael and Walton each found the back of the net and Michael Rossi had a strong game between the pipes.

The last game of the round robin was a 7-1 win against the host Thorold Blackhawks. Josh Glen and Carmichael each scored twice and Repar, Evan Lacroix, and Crysler had one each.

The Sunday morning semi-final against Thorold

was a much closer game with the Panthers winning by a score of 5-3. Connor Walton got Pelham on the board assisted bydefenseman Tyler D’Angelo and Dekker. Crysler, Jackson, Carmichael and Campbell Veld completed the Pelham scoring.

Goaltender Evan Macpherson had a great game in the championship final, making several big saves as the Panthers

picked up another 5-3 win against Port Colborne.

Walton scored twice and Annunziata broke a 2-2 third period tie with a great finish on a two on one. Repar scored the eventual game winner and Carmichael added some

insurance with a hard shot late in the third.

The boys hope to continue their winning streak later this month at the Andy Passero Memorial Tournament in Fort Erie.

Special to the Voice

Panthers shut out competition The Baron Roofing Peewee Panthers began another busy week on the ice hosting West Lincoln No. 1.

Eli Taylor was the first to find the back of the net with the help of Drew Colangelo and Blake Bishop.

Reid Murray added to the total in the second frame with the help of Mitchell Karnay and Carter Nicholas netted his first of the season with Colton Morrison taking the playmaker role.

Murray picked his spot for a shorthanded goal in the third, and Taylor topped off the scoring helped by Jared Sloan.

Goalkeeper Tyler Scott earned his (and the team’s) first shut-out of the season with the 5-0

victory.

Carter Nicholas was between the pipes in the Panthers’ next game against Welland No. 2, and earned his first shutout this year with a 6-0 win.

Eli Taylor started things off with a goal helped by Blake Bishop and Jared Sloan.

Tyler Scott let loose with a beautiful shot that found a hole stick-side. Drew Colangelo assisted.

Colangelo teamed up with Reid Murray and Colton Morrison to find the netting, while Jack Obdeyn sent one off the glove of the Welland goalie to score from Mitchell Karnay.

Tyler Scott helped himself to a rebound from

Josh Morningtar to net his second of the game, then assisted as Reid Murray cruised in for the final goal.

In the final game of the week, Reid Murray gave a scoring clinic against Welland No. 3. He opened with a power play goal on a rush with Colton Morrison and followed up with a goal from an unassisted breakaway.

Murray scored two more goals – one helped by Eli Taylor and Mitchell Karnay and a second unassisted goal – before Dan Durkin fed Taylor for a breakaway that lead to the final goal of the game.

Tyler Scott manned the net in the 5-2 victory.
